    Terms of Service

    Effective Date: [INSERT DATE]  ·  Last Updated: [INSERT DATE]

    These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website located at therealgdm.com (the "Site") and any related products, programs, courses, communities, coaching, mentorship, content, and services (collectively, the "Services") offered by GDM, Inc. and its founder George McConnell, together with their affiliated brands and ventures — including EE365 Academy, GDM Exclusive, 1HR Social, Prompt 2 Profit, Brand Dominance, and GDM Media (collectively, "we," "us," "our," "Company," or "GDM").

    By accessing or using the Site or any of our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Site or Services.

    Please Read Carefully. These Terms include important provisions that affect your legal rights, including a binding arbitration clause and class action waiver (see Section 16). Please review them in full before using the Site or purchasing any Services.

    1. Eligibility & Acceptance

    You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) and able to form a legally binding contract to use the Site or Services. By using the Site or Services, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements and that all information you provide is accurate, current, and complete.

    If you are using the Services on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, in which case "you" and "your" refer to that entity.

    2. Description of Services

    We provide business strategy, branding, marketing, AI automation, mentorship, education, and related digital products and communities, including but not limited to:

    • EE365 Academy — Etsy and e-commerce education
    • GDM Exclusive — private mentorship for entrepreneurs
    • 1HR Social — social media and content strategy
    • Prompt 2 Profit — AI prompt vault and community
    • Brand Dominance — branding and positioning programs
    • GDM Media — media, content, and related ventures

    Specific features, content, pricing, and access details for each program are described at the point of purchase or enrollment. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any portion of the Services at any time, with or without notice.

    3. Accounts & Registration

    Some Services require you to create an account or enroll through a third-party platform (such as Skool). You are responsible for:

    • Maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials
    • All activity that occurs under your account
    • Promptly notifying us of any unauthorized access
    • Ensuring that the information in your account remains accurate

    We may suspend or terminate your account at any time for any reason, including violation of these Terms.

    4. Purchases, Payments & Subscriptions

    All purchases of products, programs, courses, or memberships are subject to these Terms and any additional terms presented at the time of purchase.

    • Pricing: All prices are listed in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. We reserve the right to change pricing at any time, but changes will not affect orders or active subscriptions that have already been confirmed.
    • Payment: You authorize us and our payment processors to charge the payment method you provide for all fees, including applicable taxes.
    • Subscriptions: Recurring subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current rate until you cancel. You may cancel at any time through your account, the platform on which you enrolled (e.g., Skool), or by emailing us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; no partial refunds are provided for the unused portion unless required by law.
    • Failed Payments: If a payment fails, we may suspend or terminate your access until payment is brought current.
    • Chargebacks: Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute without first contacting us to resolve the issue is a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate termination of your access and pursuit of payment, including attorneys' fees and collection costs.

    5. Refund Policy

    Unless explicitly stated otherwise at the time of purchase or required by applicable law, all sales of digital products, courses, memberships, mentorship, and coaching services are final and non-refundable. This is because, upon purchase, you receive immediate access to proprietary content, materials, and/or community access that cannot be returned.

    If a specific program offers a money-back guarantee or refund window, the terms of that offer (including any conditions and the procedure to request a refund) will be disclosed at the point of sale and will control with respect to that purchase. Refund requests outside of any disclosed window will not be honored.

    To request a refund under an applicable guarantee, email privacy@therealgdm.com within the disclosed window with proof of purchase and the reason for your request.

    6. Earnings & Results Disclaimer

    No earnings, income, or revenue results are guaranteed. Any testimonials, case studies, examples, or income statements published on the Site, in our marketing, or within any Service are not typical, are not representative of any specific result you will achieve, and should not be interpreted as a promise or guarantee of earnings. Your results depend entirely on factors outside our control, including your effort, skill, experience, market conditions, capital, and execution.

    References to specific revenue figures (such as "$10M+ generated across portfolio companies" or any other monetary amount) describe the historical performance of George McConnell and the Company, are not promises of your potential earnings, and should not be relied upon as such. Building a business involves substantial risk, including the risk of loss. Most people who purchase business education, coaching, or "make money" type products do not achieve significant financial results, and individual outcomes vary widely.

    You acknowledge that:

    • You are solely responsible for your business decisions, actions, and results
    • We make no warranty or representation that you will earn any specific amount of money, or any money at all
    • You will not hold us liable for any business decision you make based on the Services
    • Past performance is not indicative of future results

    7. No Professional Advice

    The content provided through the Site and Services is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not legal, tax, accounting, financial, investment, medical, or other professional advice, and should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. You should always consult your own attorney, accountant, financial advisor, or other qualified professional before making any business, financial, legal, or other significant decision.

    8. User Conduct & Acceptable Use

    You agree not to:

    • Use the Services in violation of any law, regulation, or third-party right
    • Share, distribute, resell, sublicense, copy, record, or otherwise make our content, materials, courses, recordings, or community discussions available to anyone outside the program you purchased
    • Access the Services using automated means (bots, scrapers, etc.) without our written permission
    • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of any software we provide
    • Upload viruses, malware, or other malicious code
    • Harass, threaten, defame, or harm other users or members of our communities
    • Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation
    • Interfere with the security, integrity, or performance of the Site or Services
    • Use the Services to compete with us or to develop a competing product or program

    Violations may result in immediate termination of your access without refund and may subject you to civil or criminal liability.

    9. Intellectual Property

    All content on the Site and within the Services — including text, graphics, logos, images, videos, audio, course materials, frameworks, methodologies, templates, prompts, software, and the selection and arrangement thereof — is owned by or licensed to GDM, Inc. and is protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

    Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Services and content solely for your own personal or internal business use. You may not reproduce, distribute, publicly display, sell, license, or create derivative works from our content without our prior written consent.

    The names, logos, and marks of George McConnell, GDM, GDM Inc., EE365 Academy, GDM Exclusive, 1HR Social, Prompt 2 Profit, Brand Dominance, and GDM Media are trademarks of GDM, Inc. and may not be used without prior written permission.

    10. User Content & License

    If you submit, post, or share any content within our communities, programs, or in connection with the Services (including testimonials, questions, comments, posts, images, or other materials) ("User Content"), you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable, transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, distribute, display, and create derivative works of the User Content in connection with operating, marketing, and promoting the Services and our businesses, in any media now known or later developed.

    You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights to the User Content you submit and that it does not infringe any third-party rights. We may remove any User Content at any time, in our sole discretion, without notice.

    11. Third-Party Platforms & Links

    Some of our Services are delivered through or integrated with third-party platforms, including but not limited to Skool, payment processors, email service providers, and SMS gateways. Your use of those platforms is also governed by their own terms and policies, which you should review separately. We are not responsible for the availability, content, or practices of any third-party platform.

    The Site and Services may contain links to third-party websites. We do not endorse and are not responsible for the content, products, or practices of any third party.

    12. Termination

    We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site or Services at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including without limitation if we believe you have violated these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Services immediately ceases, and we may delete any content or data associated with your account. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Dispute Resolution, and Miscellaneous) will survive.

    13. Disclaimers

    The site and services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

    We do not warrant that the site or services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, free of viruses, or that any defects will be corrected. We make no warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or quality of any content or results obtained through the services.

    14. Limitation of Liability

    To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall GDM, Inc., George McConnell, or any of our officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, licensors, or service providers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including without limitation lost profits, lost revenue, lost business opportunity, lost data, or business interruption, arising out of or in connection with these terms, the site, or the services, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

    Our total cumulative liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or relating to these terms, the site, or the services shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

    Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

    15. Indemnification

    You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GDM, Inc., George McConnell, and our officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, licensors, and service providers from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your access to or use of the Site or Services; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any law or third-party right; (d) your User Content; or (e) any business decision or action you take based on the Services.

    16. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration

    Please read this Section carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with us and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

    Informal Resolution

    Before initiating any formal proceeding, you agree to first contact us at privacy@therealgdm.com and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days.

    Binding Arbitration

    Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court or actions to enforce intellectual property rights, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or the Services (a "Dispute") shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and, where applicable, its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in Clark County, Nevada, or remotely as agreed, in the English language, before a single arbitrator. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

    Class Action Waiver

    You and we agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of multiple persons and may not preside over any form of class proceeding.

    Opt-Out

    You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to privacy@therealgdm.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your full name, mailing address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other portion of these Terms.

    17. Governing Law & Venue

    These Terms and any Dispute arising out of or relating to them, the Site, or the Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Subject to the arbitration provision above, the exclusive venue for any action not subject to arbitration shall be the state or federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada, and you irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

    18. Changes to These Terms

    We may modify these Terms at any time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice (such as by email or a notice on the Site). Material changes will take effect upon posting unless otherwise indicated. Your continued use of the Site or Services after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Site and Services.

    19. Miscellaneous

    • Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms presented at the point of purchase or enrollment, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and Services, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications.
    • Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
    • No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision or any other.
    • Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights hereunder without our prior written consent. We may freely assign these Terms.
    • Force Majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform due to causes beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, labor disputes, pandemics, internet or utility outages, or third-party service failures.
    • Notices. We may provide notices to you by email, by posting on the Site, or by other reasonable means. You may send notices to us at the contact address below.
    • Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and have no legal effect.
