1. Important Information and Who We Are

Purpose. This Privacy Policy provides information about how we collect and use personal information. “Personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, can reasonably be associated with, or could reasonably be linked to an individual or household. It may also be called “personal data” under some laws.

Who we are. Brands and Empires LLC is responsible for personal information we collect through our own website, marketing, booking pages, checkout pages, communications, programs, communities, and services.

Business and agency work. When we provide services to business clients, we may receive or access information that our clients control, such as customer lists, leads, CRM records, advertising audiences, analytics, project files, account access, or creative assets. Section 7 explains how client-controlled data is handled.

Questions. If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or want to exercise privacy rights, contact us using the details in Section 17.

2. Personal Information We Collect

We may collect the categories of personal information below, depending on how you interact with us and which services you use. We may not collect every category from every person.

3. How We Collect Personal Information

We collect personal information in the following ways:

• Directly from you when you fill out forms, book calls, purchase services, join programs or communities, request information, complete onboarding, submit project materials, communicate with us, or otherwise provide information.

• Automatically when you visit our website, interact with our emails, view our advertisements, or use online services, including through cookies, pixels, tags, server logs, analytics technologies, and similar technologies.

• From third-party service providers and platforms that support our business, such as payment, scheduling, email or SMS, analytics, advertising, social media, CRM, e-signature, community, project-management, automation, and file-storage services.

• From business clients when a client authorizes us to access or process client-controlled information as part of agency, consulting, marketing, branding, operations, lead-generation, funnel, community, or related services.

• From publicly available sources, referral partners, social media pages, business directories, advertising platforms, or third-party databases where permitted by law.

4. How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information for the purposes described below. We only use personal information as reasonably necessary and proportionate to provide our services, operate our business, comply with law, protect rights and security, and pursue legitimate business purposes.

If privacy laws require a specific legal basis for processing, such as for certain EEA, UK, or Swiss users, see Appendix B.

5. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising Technologies

We may use cookies, pixels, tags, SDKs, web beacons, server logs, and similar technologies to operate our website, remember preferences, understand usage, improve performance, measure advertising, and support marketing.

These technologies may be placed by us or by third-party providers, such as analytics providers, advertising platforms, social media platforms, email marketing providers, CRM providers, and website hosting providers. We do not list specific providers in this Privacy Policy because the providers we use may change over time.

Your choices. You may be able to disable cookies through your browser settings. Where required by law, we will provide a cookie preference mechanism, notice at collection, or opt-out method for targeted advertising, sale, or sharing. If you use different devices or browsers, you may need to make choices on each device or browser.

6. How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients:

• Service providers and contractors that help us operate our business, including website hosting, cloud storage, CRM, analytics, advertising, payment processing, billing, scheduling, e-signature, email/SMS, communications, project management, automation, security, accounting, and customer support providers.

• Advertising, analytics, and social media platforms to measure, deliver, optimize, or personalize advertisements, subject to applicable law and opt-out rights.

• Business clients or authorized project participants when information is provided for a client project or when disclosure is necessary to perform services requested by the client.

• Professional advisors, including attorneys, accountants, insurers, auditors, consultants, and other advisors.

• Government authorities, courts, regulators, law enforcement, or other parties when required by law, subpoena, court order, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, property, or security.

• Business transaction parties in connection with a potential or actual merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets, transfer, or similar transaction.

We do not allow service providers and contractors to use personal information for their own purposes unless permitted by law and the applicable agreement. We require them to process personal information only for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions, where required.

Sale or sharing. We do not knowingly sell personal information for money. However, some privacy laws define “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” broadly. Our use of advertising pixels, retargeting, analytics, customer-match, lookalike audiences, or similar technologies may be considered a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under certain laws. Where required, we provide opt-out rights.

7. Client Data and Agency/Consulting Services

This section applies when Brands and Empires provides agency, consulting, branding, marketing, advertising, creative, operational, lead-generation, funnel, community, or similar services to business clients.

Client-controlled data. Clients may provide or authorize access to data about their customers, prospects, employees, contractors, creators, service providers, or other third parties. Examples include lead lists, customer lists, CRM records, email lists, advertising audiences, website analytics, campaign data, social media account data, platform permissions, recordings, project files, and communications.

Client responsibilities. Unless otherwise stated in a written agreement, each client is responsible for ensuring that it has the legal right, notice, consent, and authorization needed to provide data to us or authorize our access. This includes responsibility for honoring opt-outs, maintaining accurate data, obtaining consent for marketing where required, and ensuring that customer lists, pixels, tracking, audience uploads, testimonials, and lead-generation activities comply with applicable law.

Our role. For client-controlled data, we generally process the information to provide the contracted services, support the client relationship, comply with law, protect rights and security, or as otherwise instructed or authorized by the client. Depending on applicable law and the written agreement, we may act as a service provider, processor, contractor, or similar role for the client.

Account access. When you authorize us to access third-party accounts, we recommend permissioned access instead of password sharing where available. You are responsible for managing your own platform permissions, users, passwords, two-factor authentication, and access restrictions unless a written agreement states otherwise.

Subcontractors and service providers. We may use subcontractors and third-party service providers to perform services. A client agreement, statement of work, or data processing addendum may identify categories of service providers used for a project where appropriate.

8. International Data Transfers

Brands and Empires is based in Florida, United States. If you access our website or services from outside the United States, your personal information may be collected, processed, transferred, and stored in the United States and other countries where we or our service providers operate. These countries may have privacy and data protection laws that differ from the laws in your location.

Where required by applicable law, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers, such as contracts with service providers, standard contractual clauses, data processing terms, or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms. See Appendix B for additional information that may apply to EEA, UK, Swiss, or other international users.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These safeguards may include access controls, secure service providers, account permissions, encryption where appropriate, secure file storage, internal policies, confidentiality obligations, and incident-response procedures.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe information you provided to us may no longer be secure, contact us promptly using the details in Section 17.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, contract, tax, accounting, dispute, audit, or legal obligations.

To determine retention periods, we consider the nature and sensitivity of the information, the purposes for processing it, the risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, applicable legal requirements, and whether we can achieve the purposes through other means.

Examples. Client and project records may be retained for the duration of the client relationship and for a reasonable period afterward for legal, tax, accounting, and dispute purposes. Marketing information is retained until you unsubscribe or we determine it is no longer needed. Website analytics and cookie data may be retained according to applicable provider settings. Aggregated or de-identified information may be retained for longer periods.

11. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have rights to access, know, confirm, correct, delete, obtain a portable copy of, or opt out of certain processing of your personal information. You may also have the right to opt out of targeted advertising, sale, sharing, certain profiling, or certain uses of sensitive personal information. See Appendix A for U.S. state privacy information and Appendix B for international privacy information.

To submit a request, contact us using the details in Section 17. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request. We may deny or limit a request where permitted by law, such as when we need to retain information to complete transactions, provide services, comply with law, protect security, prevent fraud, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Authorized agents. Where applicable law allows, you may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. We may require proof of authorization and may ask you to verify your identity directly with us.

Appeals. Where required by law, if we deny your request, you may appeal by contacting us and stating that you are appealing our decision.

Opting out of marketing. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us. You may continue to receive service, transactional, legal, or administrative messages.

Opting out of targeted advertising, sale, or sharing. Where applicable, you may opt out using our cookie preference mechanism, a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link, a recognized universal opt-out mechanism where required and supported, or by contacting us. If you use different devices or browsers, you may need to opt out on each device or browser.

12. Marketing Communications

We may send marketing communications if you request information, subscribe, purchase services, attend an event, interact with us, or otherwise consent to receive marketing, subject to applicable law. We may personalize marketing based on information you provide and interactions with our website, ads, emails, and services.

Email. You can opt out of marketing emails by clicking the unsubscribe link or contacting us. Even after opting out of marketing, you may still receive non-marketing messages, such as service, transactional, legal, security, or administrative messages.

SMS or text messages. If we offer SMS marketing or text-message updates, we will provide SMS-specific consent language and opt-out instructions, such as replying STOP, where required. Consent to SMS marketing is not required to purchase services unless expressly stated and legally permitted.

13. Testimonials, Reviews, and Public Content

We do not pay people for testimonials or reviews. If you voluntarily provide a testimonial, review, comment, social media post, photo, video, name, business name, title, likeness, or similar public-facing content, we may collect and use the information you choose to provide, together with records of your permission or authorization where applicable.

We may publish or share testimonials, reviews, or public content with your permission, as submitted through a public platform, or as otherwise permitted by law. If you want us to remove or update a testimonial or review that appears on a Brands and Empires-controlled channel, contact us using Section 17. We may not control copies or reposts made by third parties or content displayed on third-party platforms.

14. Children’s Privacy

Our website and services are intended for adults and business users. They are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Our services are not intended for minors. If we offer a future service, community, course, campaign, or advertisement directed to minors or knowingly collect information from minors, we will update our practices and notices as required by applicable law before doing so.

15. Third-Party Links

Our website, emails, advertisements, social media pages, and services may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, plug-ins, applications, or services. We do not control those third parties and are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review the privacy policy of each third-party service you use.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date above. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice as required by law. Your continued use of our website or services after an updated policy is posted means you acknowledge the updated policy.

Appendix A. U.S. State Privacy Notice

This Appendix supplements the Privacy Policy and applies where required by U.S. state privacy laws, including state consumer privacy laws that may apply to businesses serving residents across the United States. State laws differ, and not all rights apply in all states or to all businesses.

Categories collected, sources, purposes, and disclosures. The table below summarizes the categories of personal information we may collect and disclose for business purposes. We may not collect every category from every person.

Retention. We retain each category for the periods described in Section 10.

Sale, sharing, and targeted advertising. We do not knowingly sell personal information for money. We may disclose identifiers, internet or network activity, commercial information, and inferences to advertising and analytics providers in ways that may be considered a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under some state laws. Where required, we provide an opt-out method.

Sensitive information. We do not knowingly use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that require a right to limit under California law or similar laws unless we provide the required notice and choice.

State privacy rights. Depending on your state and whether a particular law applies to us, you may have the right to know, access, confirm, correct, delete, port, opt out of sale/sharing/targeted advertising, opt out of certain profiling, limit certain sensitive information uses, appeal a denied request, and be free from unlawful discrimination for exercising rights.

Submitting requests. To exercise rights, contact us using Section 17. We may verify your identity and request information needed to process the request. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.

Controller or processor. For personal information we collect through our own website, marketing, sales, programs, communities, and services, Brands and Empires LLC is generally the controller or business responsible for the information. For client-controlled data processed in connection with agency or consulting services, our client may be the controller or business, and Brands and Empires may act as a processor, service provider, contractor, or similar role.

Where a legal basis is required, we rely on one or more of the following: performance of a contract; legitimate interests, such as operating, improving, securing, and marketing our services; consent, such as for certain marketing or cookies; legal obligations; and establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE OR ANY OF ITS FUNCTIONS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT ANY PART OF THIS SITE, INCLUDING PUBLIC OR COMMUNITY FEATURES, OR THE SERVERS THAT MAKE IT AVAILABLE, ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

You agree at all times to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Brands and Empires, its affiliates, successors, transferees, assignees, licensees, parent and subsidiary companies, agents, associates, officers, directors, shareholders, contractors, and employees from and against any and all claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, arising out of or related to your breach of any obligation, warranty, representation, or covenant set forth herein, your use of the Site, your use of our products or services, your submissions, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

Online Commerce

Certain sections of the Site may allow you to purchase products, programs, services, memberships, courses, consulting, agency services, events, digital products, or other offerings online that may be provided by us or by third parties. We are not responsible for the quality, accuracy, timeliness, reliability, or any other aspect of products and services provided by third parties.

If you make a purchase from a merchant on the Site or on a site linked to by the Site, the information obtained during your visit to that merchant’s online store or site, and the information that you provide as part of the transaction, such as your payment and contact information, may be collected by both the merchant and us. A merchant may have privacy and data collection practices that are different from ours. We have no responsibility or liability for those independent policies.

In addition, when you purchase products or services on or through the Site, you may be subject to additional terms and conditions that specifically apply to your purchase or use of such products or services, including order forms, checkout terms, service agreements, statements of work, program terms, community rules, subscription terms, or refund terms.

Your participation, correspondence, or business dealings with any third party found on or through our Site, regarding payment and delivery of specific goods and services, and any other terms, conditions, representations, or warranties associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such third party. You agree that Brands and Empires shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, or other matters of any sort incurred as the result of such dealings.

You agree to be financially responsible for all purchases made by you or someone acting on your behalf through the Site. You agree to use the Site and to purchase services or products through the Site for legitimate purposes only.

You agree to only purchase goods or services for yourself, your business, or another person or entity for whom you are legally permitted to do so.

When making a purchase for a third party that requires you to submit the third party’s personal information to us or a merchant, you represent that you have obtained the express consent and legal authority to provide such third party’s personal information.

Your purchase is for your personal, internal, or authorized business use only. Sharing of purchases, login credentials, private links, member-only content, templates, recordings, course materials, deliverables, downloads, or premium materials is not permitted unless expressly authorized in writing and will be considered unauthorized, an infringing use of our copyrighted material, and may subject violators to liability.

If payment for a product, service, subscription, program, or course is declined, our system may automatically disable access to our premium materials, services, communities, or programs. We may attempt to contact you to help resolve the issue. Once the billing issue is resolved, access may be restored as determined by us or according to the applicable purchase terms.

• Create aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified information for analysis, reporting, improvement, and business purposes.

8. Client Data and Agency/Consulting Services

This section applies when a client gives Brands and Empires access to data, accounts, platforms, files, customer information, lead lists, CRM records, ad accounts, analytics, websites, funnels, communities, or other business systems.

Unless a separate written agreement says otherwise, the client remains responsible for ensuring it has the necessary rights, notices, consents, permissions, lawful basis, and authority to provide Client Data to us or authorize our access. This includes responsibility for complying with applicable marketing, advertising, privacy, opt-out, consent, email, SMS, consumer protection, platform, and industry rules.

We generally process Client Data to provide the services requested by the client, follow the client’s lawful instructions, support the client relationship, protect rights and security, comply with law, and operate our business. Depending on the context and applicable law, we may act as a service provider, processor, contractor, or similar role for Client Data.

Clients should not provide sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for the services, legally permitted, and disclosed to us in advance. Clients are responsible for removing unnecessary sensitive information before providing files, lists, or access.

9. Customer/Client Data Protection Addendum

This section functions as a data protection addendum when Brands and Empires processes Client Data on behalf of a customer or client under a client agreement, order form, statement of work, or other written agreement.

9.1 Roles of the Parties

For Client Data, the customer or client generally acts as the controller, business, or data owner, and Brands and Empires generally acts as the processor, service provider, contractor, or similar role, unless a written agreement states otherwise.

9.2 Customer Instructions

Brands and Empires will process Client Data only as reasonably necessary to provide the services, as instructed by the customer, as permitted by the agreement, as necessary to protect rights and security, or as required by applicable law. Additional instructions that are outside the scope of the agreed services may require a separate written agreement and additional fees.

9.3 Ownership of Client Data

The customer retains all ownership rights in Client Data. Brands and Empires does not sell Client Data for money. We may use Client Data only as permitted by the agreement, this policy, applicable law, or the customer’s instructions. We may use aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified data for business analysis, service improvement, reporting, and internal operations, provided it does not identify a specific person or client unless otherwise agreed.

9.4 Confidentiality

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that team members, contractors, service providers, and subprocessors who have access to Client Data are subject to confidentiality obligations or are otherwise required to protect the information.

9.5 Subprocessors and Service Providers

The customer authorizes Brands and Empires to use service providers, contractors, platforms, tools, and subprocessors as needed to operate our business and provide the services. These may include categories such as hosting, CRM, payment processing, scheduling, email/SMS, analytics, advertising, file storage, communication, project management, automation, e-signature, community, fulfillment, security, accounting, and customer support providers. We do not list specific providers here because the tools used may change over time.

Where required, we will use reasonable contractual, technical, and organizational measures designed to require these providers to protect Client Data and process it only for authorized purposes.

9.6 Security Measures

Brands and Empires will maintain commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Client Data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse, or destruction. Security measures may include access controls, account permissions, confidentiality obligations, secure cloud systems, password practices, two-factor authentication where available, encryption where appropriate, data minimization, and incident-response procedures.

9.7 Security Incidents

If Brands and Empires becomes aware of a confirmed Security Incident involving Client Data in our custody or control, we will notify the affected customer without undue delay and as required by applicable law or written agreement. Notice may include, to the extent known and appropriate, the nature of the incident, the categories of information involved, the date or estimated date of discovery, steps taken to mitigate harm, and steps the customer may need to take.

We may delay notification if required by law enforcement, necessary to investigate or remediate the incident, or otherwise permitted by applicable law.

9.8 Assistance with Rights Requests and Compliance

At the customer’s reasonable request and expense, and to the extent required by applicable law, Brands and Empires will provide reasonable assistance with privacy requests, data access requests, deletion requests, correction requests, portability requests, opt-outs, data protection impact assessments, regulator inquiries, and similar compliance obligations that relate to Client Data processed by Brands and Empires.

If an individual contacts Brands and Empires directly about Client Data controlled by a customer, we may refer the request to the customer unless applicable law requires us to respond directly.

9.9 Return or Deletion of Client Data

Upon termination or expiration of the applicable services, or upon written request, Brands and Empires will return, delete, archive, or restrict Client Data in accordance with the agreement, applicable law, and reasonable business practices. Unless a written agreement says otherwise, we may retain Client Data as needed for legal, tax, accounting, compliance, security, dispute, backup, audit, or legitimate business purposes.

9.10 Audits and Reviews

At the customer’s reasonable written request and expense, and where required by applicable law, Brands and Empires may provide written responses to reasonable data protection or security questions related to the processing of Client Data. Any review must be conducted no more than once per year unless legally required, during normal business hours, without disrupting operations, and subject to reasonable confidentiality and security limitations. Reviews may not extend to unrelated clients, confidential business information, or third-party systems beyond information we are legally permitted to provide.

10. Disclosure and Sharing of Information

We may disclose personal information and Client Data to:

• Service providers, contractors, platforms, and vendors that help us operate our business or provide services.
• Clients, authorized client team members, or project participants where disclosure is necessary for a client project or authorized by the client.
• Professional advisors, including attorneys, accountants, insurers, auditors, consultants, and other advisors.
• Government authorities, courts, regulators, law enforcement, or other parties when required or permitted by law.
• Business transaction parties in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, sale of assets, reorganization, transfer, bankruptcy, or similar event.
• Other parties with consent, instruction, authorization, or as otherwise permitted by law.

11. International Transfers

Brands and Empires is based in Florida, United States. Personal information and Client Data may be processed in the United States and in other countries where we, our team members, contractors, service providers, or platforms operate. These countries may have privacy laws that differ from those in the location where the information was collected.

Where required by applicable law, we will use appropriate safeguards for international transfers, such as contractual protections, data processing terms, standard contractual clauses, or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms. Customers are responsible for notifying their own customers, leads, employees, and other data subjects about international transfers where required.

12. Data Security

We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personal information and Client Data.

12.1 Confidentiality

Only authorized people should access personal information or Client Data. Access should be limited to those who need the information for legitimate business or service purposes.

12.2 Integrity

Personal information and Client Data should be accurate, complete, and suitable for the purpose for which it is processed. We take reasonable steps to correct or update inaccurate information when appropriate.

12.3 Availability

Authorized users should be able to access information when needed for legitimate business purposes, subject to appropriate access controls, platform permissions, retention practices, and security restrictions.

12.4 Security Practices

Our security practices may include:

• Using secure business systems, cloud services, and access-controlled platforms.
• Restricting access to personal information and Client Data based on business need.
• Using strong passwords and two-factor authentication where reasonably available.
• Avoiding unnecessary collection, transfer, or retention of sensitive information.
• Using permissioned platform access instead of password sharing where possible.
• Maintaining confidentiality obligations for team members, contractors, and service providers.
• Deleting, archiving, or restricting information when it is no longer needed, subject to legal and business retention needs.
• Investigating suspected security incidents and taking reasonable mitigation steps when appropriate.

13. Data Retention

We retain personal information and Client Data only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law, contract, tax, accounting, audit, security, dispute, backup, or legitimate business needs.

Factors used to determine retention include the nature of the information, the purpose of processing, legal and contractual requirements, the need to provide services, the risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, and whether the information is needed to resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or protect rights.

14. Data Subject and Consumer Rights

Depending on where a person lives and which laws apply, individuals may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of, objection to, or portability of personal information. They may also have rights to opt out of certain marketing, sale, sharing, targeted advertising, profiling, or certain uses of sensitive information.

Requests related to information collected directly by Brands and Empires should be sent to [email protected]. Requests related to Client Data controlled by one of our customers may need to be submitted to that customer directly. We may verify identity before fulfilling a request and may deny or limit requests where permitted by law.

15. Marketing, Cookies, and Advertising Data

We may use personal information for marketing, advertising, analytics, retargeting, lead generation, email, SMS, and sales follow-up where permitted by law. We may also use cookies, pixels, tags, web beacons, server logs, and similar technologies to understand website use, measure campaigns, deliver ads, and improve services.

Individuals can opt out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us. If SMS marketing is used, SMS-specific opt-out instructions will be provided. Cookie and advertising opt-out choices may depend on browser settings, platform settings, applicable law, and any preference tools provided on our website.

16. Team, Contractor, and Internal Handling

Team members, contractors, and anyone working with Brands and Empires who handles personal information or Client Data must follow this policy and any applicable internal instructions. They should only access information needed for their role, keep information confidential, avoid unauthorized sharing, use approved systems where practical, and promptly report suspected security issues or improper access.

We have not authorized any person, team member, representative, affiliate, partner, client, contractor, or third party to make any earnings projection, promise, guarantee, or representation on our behalf unless it is expressly stated in a written agreement signed by Brands and Empires.

Any statements about revenue, sales, leads, appointments, growth, profit, business performance, case studies, examples, testimonials, or client results are for informational and educational purposes only. They are not promises or guarantees that you will achieve the same or similar results.

There is no assurance you will do as well as stated in any example. If you rely on any figures, examples, or performance statements provided by us, you accept the entire risk of not doing as well as the information provided.

Prior results, case studies, testimonials, or client examples do not represent average or typical results unless expressly stated. They cannot be used as an indication of your future success, revenue, profit, sales, leads, booked calls, appointments, or business results.

We do not pay people for testimonials or reviews. Testimonials and reviews reflect the experience of the individual or business providing them and may not reflect the experience you will have.

Your Success or Lack of It

Your success in using the information, strategy, systems, services, tools, recommendations, or materials provided by Brands and Empires depends on many factors. These may include, but are not limited to, your offer, market, niche, pricing, positioning, sales ability, marketing execution, fulfillment quality, consistency, work ethic, implementation speed, team, budget, technology, business model, customer demand, reputation, communication, follow-up, operational capacity, and external market conditions.

We do not know your background, business condition, financial situation, skill level, motivation, work ethic, discipline, market, offer quality, client base, ability to implement, or business practices.

You should not rely on any information we provide unless you understand that business results are uncertain and that you can experience losses, including the loss of money paid to purchase our products or services and money spent implementing, operating, staffing, fulfilling, advertising, or marketing your business.

The economy, your local market, national and global market conditions, advertising costs, platform changes, algorithm changes, competition, demand, consumer behavior, industry changes, staffing limitations, technology issues, fulfillment capacity, and other circumstances can affect your results. Economic recessions, depressions, downturns, inflation, changes in ad costs, or changes in platform policies may negatively affect results produced from any strategy, program, service, or material provided by Brands and Empires.

Advertising, Leads, Appointments, and Growth Claims

Any references to leads, appointments, booked calls, sales calls, conversion rates, cost per lead, cost per appointment, show-up rates, closing rates, revenue growth, monthly revenue, predictable revenue, or similar metrics are not guarantees. Marketing and sales performance can vary widely and depends on your market, offer, audience, positioning, follow-up, sales process, budget, implementation, and many other factors outside our control.

Unless expressly stated in writing at the time of purchase, the Program does not include an automatic recurring subscription, renewal payment, or monthly charge after the initial purchase. Any future purchase, renewal, continuation, upgrade, or additional service must be separately agreed to by you. The refund, if approved, is limited to the amount actually paid by you to Brands and Empires LLC for the Program. No refund will be provided for third-party costs, advertising spend, software, tools, contractors, merchant fees, or other expenses.

Important limitation. This guarantee is not a promise of revenue, profit, sales, appointments, clients, growth, or any specific business outcome. It is a conditional refund policy available only to purchasers who strictly complete and document every requirement below and submit a valid request within the required timeframe.

1. Guarantee Period

Unless a different written guarantee period is stated in the applicable order form, the guarantee period begins on the date your enrollment or access to the Program begins and ends one hundred eighty (180) calendar days later (the "Guarantee Period").

The Guarantee Period is not extended, paused, restarted, or renewed because you delay implementation, do not log in, miss meetings, fail to complete materials, experience technical issues unrelated to Brands and Empires, travel, become unavailable, change businesses, change niches, change offers, or choose not to perform the required work, unless Brands and Empires expressly agrees in writing to an extension.

2. Conditional Refund Eligibility

You may be eligible for a refund of amounts actually paid to Brands and Empires for the Program only if you satisfy all eligibility requirements in this document, submit a timely written request, and provide complete documentation sufficient for Brands and Empires to verify your eligibility.

To be eligible, you must complete every requirement below during the Guarantee Period:

• Complete at least 150 qualifying outbound touchpoints per business day, Monday through Friday, throughout the Guarantee Period.
• Accurately record, track, and maintain proof of all outbound activity in a verifiable format.
• Watch and complete the entire Program library, including all videos, lessons, resources, worksheets, templates, recordings, and required materials made available to you during the Guarantee Period.
• Attend every Wednesday online meeting held by Brands and Empires during your Guarantee Period.
• Implement the Program in good faith and in substantial accordance with the instructions, training, systems, feedback, and standards provided by Brands and Empires.
• Remain current on all required payments and comply with all Program terms, community rules, and applicable agreements.
• Submit a complete refund request within the deadline stated in Section 12.

Failure to satisfy any one requirement makes you ineligible for the guarantee. No partial, prorated, discretionary, or equitable refund is owed for partial completion.

3. Outbound Touchpoint Requirement

You must complete a minimum of 150 qualifying outbound touchpoints per business day, Monday through Friday, during the Guarantee Period. A qualifying outbound touchpoint is a direct, intentional, prospecting action sent or made to a real prospective customer, client, lead, decision-maker, or account that reasonably matches the target market or strategy being implemented in the Program.

Qualifying outbound touchpoints may include, where consistent with Program instructions:

• outbound phone calls;
• outbound emails;
• direct messages;
• social media prospecting messages;
• approved follow-up messages;
• approved referral or partner outreach;
• other outbound prospecting actions expressly approved by Brands and Empires in writing.

The following do not count as qualifying outbound touchpoints unless Brands and Empires expressly approves them in writing:

• spam, mass-blasted, misleading, unlawful, or non-compliant messages;
• messages sent to fake, irrelevant, duplicate, or intentionally low-quality prospects;
• internal messages, administrative work, research time, list building, content posting, or passive marketing activity;
• inbound responses, inbound calls, customer support messages, or conversations initiated by prospects;
• messages sent to your own employees, contractors, friends, family, existing clients, or unrelated contacts unless part of an approved strategy;
• touchpoints that cannot be verified through contemporaneous records;
• touchpoints completed outside Monday through Friday, unless Brands and Empires gives prior written approval for a substitute schedule.

Touchpoints must be performed consistently throughout the Guarantee Period. You may not satisfy this requirement by batching large volumes after extended inactivity, backfilling records, or attempting to make up missed days unless Brands and Empires expressly approves an alternative schedule in writing before the missed activity occurs.

4. Recording and Tracking Requirement

You must accurately record and track all outbound activity on an ongoing basis. Records must be created contemporaneously, meaning at or near the time the activity occurs, and must be maintained in a clear, organized, and reviewable format. Brands and Empires may request access to records at any time during or after the Guarantee Period for purposes of reviewing eligibility.

Your tracking records must include, at minimum:

• the date of the outbound activity;
• the number of touchpoints completed that day;
• the channel or method used for each touchpoint;
• the prospect, company, account, or lead contacted;
• the contact information or platform identifier used, where applicable;
• the outcome, disposition, reply status, or next step;
• notes sufficient to verify that the activity was real, relevant, and performed in good faith.

Acceptable proof may include CRM records, call logs, screenshots, email logs, message logs, spreadsheet records, campaign exports, calendar records, platform analytics, screen recordings, or other evidence reasonably requested by Brands and Empires. Brands and Empires may reject records that are incomplete, inconsistent, unverifiable, altered, backdated, fabricated, or materially unreliable.

5. Training Library Completion Requirement

You must watch and complete the entire Program library made available to you during the Guarantee Period. This includes all required videos, lessons, recordings, modules, templates, worksheets, implementation documents, onboarding materials, and other required resources.

Completion must be genuine and in good faith. Merely clicking through videos, playing videos without engaging, skipping required materials, outsourcing completion to another person, or claiming completion without reasonable proof does not satisfy this requirement. Brands and Empires may use platform analytics, progress tracking, completion records, assignment submissions, checklists, or other documentation to verify completion.

If additional required materials are added during the Guarantee Period, you must complete those materials within a reasonable time after they are made available, unless Brands and Empires expressly states that they are optional.

6. Wednesday Online Meeting Attendance Requirement

You must attend every Wednesday online meeting held by Brands and Empires during your Guarantee Period. Attendance must be live, present, and in good faith unless Brands and Empires expressly approves an alternative attendance method in writing.

To satisfy this requirement, you must:

• attend each Wednesday meeting held during your Guarantee Period;
• join using your own name or identifiable account so attendance can be verified;
• remain present for substantially the full meeting unless excused by Brands and Empires;
• participate respectfully and comply with meeting rules;
• complete any required meeting-related action items or submissions.

If Brands and Empires does not hold a Wednesday meeting on a particular week, that week will not count against you. If you miss a Wednesday meeting for any reason, including travel, scheduling conflicts, technical issues, emergencies, or forgetfulness, you will not qualify for the guarantee unless Brands and Empires expressly approves an exception in writing.

7. Implementation and Good-Faith Participation Requirement

You must implement the Program in good faith and in substantial accordance with the instructions, training, feedback, and systems provided. The guarantee is intended for purchasers who put the Program to work fully and consistently, not for purchasers who enroll, do not complete the required work, or materially deviate from the process.

Examples of conduct that may make you ineligible include:

• refusing or failing to implement core instructions;
• changing the offer, niche, message, sales process, audience, or outreach strategy in a way that materially departs from Program guidance without written approval;
• using misleading, unlawful, spammy, or non-compliant outreach practices;
• failing to respond to reasonable support, audit, or verification requests;
• providing incomplete, false, altered, or misleading records;
• abusing the community, meetings, team members, clients, or other participants;
• violating the Terms and Conditions, community standards, payment terms, intellectual property restrictions, or applicable law.

8. Payment Status and Account Standing

You must remain in good standing throughout the Guarantee Period. You are not eligible for the guarantee if any payment is late, declined, disputed, charged back, reversed, unpaid, or placed into collections before your refund request is submitted and resolved, unless Brands and Empires expressly waives this requirement in writing.

If your Program access is suspended, terminated, or limited because of non-payment, violation of terms, misconduct, misuse of materials, unauthorized sharing, or other breach, you are not eligible for the guarantee.

9. Scope of Refund

If Brands and Empires approves your refund request, the refund will be limited to the amount actually paid by you to Brands and Empires for the Program that expressly included this guarantee, minus any amounts previously refunded, credited, reversed, charged back, or forgiven.

The refund does not include and Brands and Empires is not responsible for:

• advertising spend;
• software, tools, platform, CRM, or subscription costs;
• contractor, employee, agency, freelancer, or vendor costs;
• payment processor fees unless required by law;
• bank fees, interest, financing charges, taxes, currency conversion fees, or third-party fees;
• travel, equipment, internet, phone, data, or overhead costs;
• lost profits, lost revenue, lost opportunities, business interruption, consequential damages, or indirect damages.

The guarantee is personal to the original purchaser and may not be transferred, assigned, sold, shared, or used by any other person or entity.

10. No Earnings, Revenue, Appointment, or Client Guarantee

Brands and Empires provides education, coaching, consulting, frameworks, systems, tools, feedback, and implementation support. We do not guarantee that you will earn revenue, generate profit, book appointments, close clients, recover your investment, scale your business, or achieve any specific business outcome.

Your results depend on many factors outside our control, including your market, offer, pricing, sales ability, consistency, business model, reputation, work ethic, advertising accounts, deliverability, tracking, follow-up, compliance, timing, economic conditions, platform rules, and willingness to implement. Past results, case studies, testimonials, examples, or projected outcomes are not promises, guarantees, or representations of your future results.

Any claim that a money-back guarantee exists does not replace the need for you to evaluate the Program, perform your own due diligence, and comply with these eligibility requirements.

11. Refund Review Process

Brands and Empires has the right to review, audit, and verify any refund request. You agree to reasonably cooperate with the review process and provide complete documentation upon request. A refund request is not approved unless and until Brands and Empires confirms approval in writing.

During review, Brands and Empires may request:

• outbound tracking records for the entire Guarantee Period;
• CRM access or exports;
• call logs, email logs, direct message logs, screenshots, or platform exports;
• proof of training completion;
• proof of Wednesday meeting attendance;
• copies of outreach scripts, offers, sales process, follow-up sequences, and related implementation materials;
• proof that you followed Program instructions and feedback;
• any other documentation reasonably necessary to verify eligibility.

If you fail to provide requested documentation within ten (10) business days of our request, or if the documentation is incomplete or unverifiable, your request may be denied.

12. Refund Request Deadline and Submission Requirements

To request a refund under this guarantee, you must send a written request to [email protected] no later than ten (10) business days after the end of your Guarantee Period. Requests sent before the end of the Guarantee Period may be treated as incomplete unless Brands and Empires expressly agrees to review them early. Requests sent after the deadline are void and will not be accepted.

Your written request must include:

• your full legal name and business name;
• the email address used to purchase the Program;
• the date of purchase or enrollment;
• the Program purchased;
• a clear statement that you are requesting review under the Money-Back Guarantee Terms;
• a summary of your implementation and results;
• complete outbound tracking records for the Guarantee Period;
• proof of completion of the Program library;
• proof of attendance at every Wednesday online meeting held during your Guarantee Period;
• any other required documentation reasonably requested by Brands and Empires.

13. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

You agree to use the refund review process described in these terms before initiating any chargeback, payment dispute, bank reversal, or payment processor claim. Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute before completing the refund review process may result in immediate suspension of Program access and may make you ineligible for the guarantee to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Brands and Empires reserves the right to provide these Money-Back Guarantee Terms, your purchase records, access records, attendance records, tracking records, communications, and other relevant evidence to banks, payment processors, card networks, collections providers, legal counsel, arbitrators, courts, or other parties involved in resolving a payment dispute.

14. Fraud, Misrepresentation, and Abuse

Any fraud, attempted fraud, misrepresentation, alteration of records, backdated tracking, fabricated activity, fake prospects, duplicate records, manipulated analytics, unauthorized account access, unlawful outreach, or abuse of the guarantee voids eligibility immediately.

Brands and Empires may deny a refund request if it reasonably determines that the request is not made in good faith or that the purchaser attempted to manufacture eligibility without genuinely completing the required work.

15. Relationship to Other Agreements

These Money-Back Guarantee Terms are part of and supplement the applicable Terms and Conditions, order form, checkout terms, services agreement, client agreement, Program rules, Privacy Policy, Data Protection Policy, and any other written agreement between you and Brands and Empires.

Nothing in these terms limits any rights or remedies Brands and Empires may have under another agreement, including rights related to payment, intellectual property, confidentiality, community conduct, termination, indemnification, limitation of liability, or dispute resolution.

16. Updates and Written Exceptions

Brands and Empires may update these Money-Back Guarantee Terms for future purchasers or future offers. The version applicable to your purchase is the version presented or incorporated at the time of purchase, unless a later version is expressly agreed in writing.

No verbal statement, sales call statement, direct message, email, advertisement, webinar, or informal communication modifies these terms unless the modification is in a written document signed or expressly approved by an authorized representative of Brands and Empires. Any exception to these requirements must be express, written, and specific.
