Automate to Accelerate
Terms & Conditions

Automate to Accelerate is a 12-week cohort-based program that teaches business owners, leaders, and their teams how to build AI-powered businesses. The Spring 2026 cohort begins May 12, 2026 and concludes August 13, 2026.

Uncommon Business LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company ("we," "us," "our," or "Uncommon Business"). You, the enrolled individual, are "you" or "Enrollee."

Enrollment is available only during designated launch windows. Accepting your enrollment — whether by paying in full, starting a payment plan, or clicking to agree to these terms — means you've agreed to everything in this document. We reserve the right to decline enrollment at our discretion, though this is rare.

You must be at least 18 years old to enroll. If you're enrolling on behalf of a company, you're confirming you have the authority to bind that company to these terms.

You can add team members for $1,500 per seat. Each team member:

• Must have an email address on the same domain as your company.
• Must be currently employed by or affiliated with your organization.
• Gets their own program access and agrees to these same terms when they log in.

You, as the primary enrollee, remain the billing contact and are responsible for making sure the team members you invited understand these terms. Each team seat is independent — if you later withdraw or receive a refund, their access and obligations continue under their own seat.

Team seats are non-transferable. If a team member leaves your company, their seat ends. You cannot reassign it to someone else. Access stays with the person who actually did the learning.

Payment plan totals are higher than pay-in-full to cover processing and administrative costs.

All payments are processed through Stripe. You're responsible for keeping a valid payment method on file. Payment plan obligations are binding — meaning you owe the full plan amount whether or not you participate, subject to the Do the Work Guarantee (Section 4) and the Deferral Policy (Section 8).

Cards expire, banks block charges, things glitch. Here's what happens:

To restore access, pay the outstanding balance plus any applicable late fees. Restoration is at our discretion. If we never get paid and you never reach out, the remaining balance becomes immediately due and may be sent to collections.

By checking the SMS consent box at checkout, you agree to receive text messages from Uncommon Business LLC about your enrollment — payment reminders, program updates, and occasional announcements. Message and data rates may apply. Text STOP to opt out of non-essential messages. Service messages related to billing continue regardless (they're required for the payment plan to work).

We may change pricing for future cohorts. Once you're enrolled, your payment obligation doesn't change — even if we later raise or lower prices.

If Client does the required work, attends the required sessions or replays, builds the required AI employees, submits the required proof, completes the review process, and is still not satisfied, Company will refund Client under this policy.

The guarantee checkpoint is the end of Week 8. Week 0, if offered, is a setup or orientation session and does not count toward the attendance requirement.

Client must attend at least 6 of the 8 implementation sessions covering Weeks 1 through 8. Live attendance and replay attendance both count. Attendance may be verified through Zoom reports, replay records, platform activity, community records, or other records reasonably available to Company.

Client must submit proof of at least 4 of the 7 AI employee builds covered during Weeks 2 through 8. Proof must include screenshots of each AI employee build submitted for review.

A qualifying build must be actually created and deployed or meaningfully implemented by Client. Watching a training, downloading a template, copying a prompt, or intending to build later is not enough.

The refund request window opens the day after the Week 8 implementation session and closes at the end of the Spring 2026 Cohort on August 13, 2026. Requests submitted before the window opens may be rejected as premature. Requests submitted after the window closes are late and do not qualify.

Client must submit the request through Company's Refund Request Form inside TUB Connect or another program platform designated by Company. The form may require Client to provide Client's name, email address, selected builds, screenshots, an explanation of what Client built, an explanation of how Client used or attempted to use the builds, and an explanation of why Client is not satisfied. Company is not required to process an incomplete request.

Company may review attendance records, replay records, platform records, build screenshots, and any other information reasonably needed to confirm eligibility. Company may require Client to explain what Client built, how Client used it, and why Client is not satisfied.

Company may require a short diagnostic conversation before approving or denying the request. This conversation is part of the review process. It is not a debate over whether Client's subjective satisfaction is valid, but Company may ask reasonable questions to confirm eligibility, clarify submissions, and understand what happened. If Client refuses, ignores, or fails to participate after reasonable scheduling efforts, Company may deny the request as incomplete.

Client does not need to prove a specific revenue increase, cost savings number, hours-saved number, or business outcome. Satisfaction is subjective, but eligibility is not. The attendance, build, proof, timing, and review requirements are mandatory.

If Client qualifies and elects a cash refund, Company will refund all program payments Client made for the applicable seat and cancel any remaining unpaid installments for that same seat.

Company may offer Client a free seat in the next cohort as an alternative to a cash refund. Client is not required to accept that option. If Client accepts a free next-cohort seat instead of a cash refund, Client's refund request is resolved and no cash refund will be owed for the original enrollment unless Company agrees otherwise in writing.

Company will pause scheduled installment collections for the applicable seat after Client submits a complete refund request during the request window. If the request is approved, remaining installments for that seat will be cancelled. If the request is denied, paused installments become due, and Company may resume billing, require catch-up payment, or condition restored access on payment of amounts owed.

When Client submits a refund request, Company may immediately suspend access to protected program materials, including Thinkific, TUB Connect, the AI Employee Vault, CalChat, community archives, recordings, templates, playbooks, and other recorded or downloadable curriculum materials. Company may allow Client to continue attending remaining live sessions and office hours while the request is under review unless Company determines that suspension is appropriate because of non-payment, misconduct, IP misuse, chargeback activity, or another breach.

If the refund request is approved, all program access for the refunded seat ends no later than the date the refund is processed. If the refund request is denied, Company may restore access after Client cures any payment issue and remains otherwise in good standing.

Company will make a good-faith decision within 10 business days after receiving a complete refund request and completing any required diagnostic conversation. Approved refunds will be processed within 30 days after approval. Processing times may vary based on Stripe, banks, card networks, payment processors, holidays, or circumstances outside Company's control.

Guarantee rights apply per seat. The primary enrollee and each team seat holder must independently satisfy the attendance, build, proof, timing, and review requirements. A team member cannot rely on the primary enrollee's attendance or builds. The primary enrollee cannot rely on a team member's attendance or builds.

Client does not qualify for a refund under this policy if Client fails to attend, fails to watch replays, fails to build, fails to submit proof, misses the request window, refuses to complete the review process, stops participating, withdraws voluntarily, becomes busy, experiences a scheduling conflict, does not use the program, or dislikes the program but fails to satisfy the requirements.

Nothing in this policy limits rights that cannot legally be waived.

AI is changing fast. We may update content, swap in new tools, or shift the schedule to keep the program current. We'll communicate material changes via email.

We support program access on a best-effort basis. If a third-party platform (Slack, Zoom, Stripe, Thinkific, or any of the AI tools) goes down, we'll do what we can — but we're not liable for their outages.

Show up as an adult. Respect the other builders. Keep what they share in the community in the community. Contribute when you can. Don't recruit for competing programs, don't spam, don't discriminate, don't harass, don't bully — and especially not in DMs.

We'll usually reach out first. If the behavior is severe or continues, we reserve the right to remove the person from the community, suspend their program access, or terminate their enrollment. If enrollment is terminated for conduct violations, payments are not refunded and any remaining balance remains due. This is the one place we hold a firm line — protecting the community matters more than protecting one enrollee's money.

There are four things we ask you not to do:

Because this comes up: you can screenshot your own work. You can't screenshot ours.

• OK: Screenshot the AI employee you built. Post it anywhere.
• OK: Screenshot your AI Business Brain structure. Post it anywhere.
• OK: Talk about what you learned. Post anywhere.
• Not OK: Screenshot A2A slides, curriculum pages, Vault UI, or CalChat responses. That's our material.

If you're ever unsure, assume you can share your own work, and ask us before sharing ours. The answer is usually yes — we just want to know.

If you want to teach A2A, license our frameworks for use in a structured program you're selling, or do anything else commercial with our IP specifically (not what you've built with it — what we built), email [email protected]. We have licensing options. This isn't a no-go — it's just a separate conversation.

If you breach these IP rules, we may terminate your enrollment immediately, revoke your access, and pursue legal remedies including damages and attorney fees. Please don't make us do this. Ask us instead — we almost always say yes.

• A serious medical emergency or diagnosis (you, your spouse, your child, or your parent).
• Death in your immediate family.
• The birth, adoption, or foster placement of a child during the cohort.
• A natural disaster, fire, or displacement from your home.
• Active military deployment or call-up.
• An acute, documented business crisis requiring your full attention (bankruptcy, major legal matter, loss of a co-founder, and so on).

Email us within 14 days of the event (or within 14 days of the cohort start, whichever comes later). Tell us what happened and when. We may ask for documentation — not to make it hard, but because we want to be fair to everyone.

• One time only, to the immediately next cohort (in this case, Fall 2026).
• Your payment plan obligations continue during the deferral.
• If you can't make the next cohort either, you forfeit the deferral. You keep your Do the Work Guarantee rights if you later qualify in the deferred cohort.
• Deferrals are granted at our reasonable discretion.

If you defer, your team members have a choice: defer with you, or continue in the current cohort. Each seat makes its own decision.

Live sessions, Q&A calls, and community events are recorded. By enrolling, you consent to being recorded — your questions, comments, and participation become part of the program archive that future enrollees may access.

When you share a win, a result, or a statement about A2A — publicly or privately with our team — you grant us the right to use it in our marketing. This includes:

• Written testimonials, quotes, and case studies
• Screenshots of your messages, posts, and sent content
• Recordings from program sessions
• Business results and before/after stories
• Photos and videos from events

The grant is worldwide, royalty-free, and continues after your access ends. If something ever feels off and you want a specific piece pulled, email us and we'll work it out. Your privacy matters more to us than any marketing asset.

At enrollment, you can tell us if you'd rather not be featured in external marketing, and we'll honor that. Session recordings still apply (those are part of the curriculum), but we won't pull your quote into ads or landing pages.

You can stop participating at any time — we won't chase you. But voluntary withdrawal isn't a refund trigger. If you withdraw:

• Your access continues for the remainder of your access period.
• Your payment plan continues.
• The Do the Work Guarantee still applies if you meet the criteria at Week 8.
• The Deferral Policy still applies if you qualify.

We may terminate enrollment for:

• A serious breach of community standards (Section 6)
• A breach of the IP rules (Section 7)
• Non-payment after the 14-day grace period (Section 3.3)
• Misrepresentation during enrollment
• A chargeback filed without first contacting us (Section 11)

If we terminate, your access ends immediately, payments are not refunded, and any remaining payment plan balance becomes due. We treat termination as a last step — we'll reach out first whenever the situation allows.

These terms are designed for US-based enrollees but apply to enrollees everywhere. If your local law gives you rights that can't be waived by contract, those rights still apply to you. Nothing in these terms takes away a legal right you can't legally sign away.

We have a lot of Canadian enrollees, so some specific notes:

• CASL compliance. By enrolling and consenting to SMS and email at checkout, you've given us express consent to send commercial electronic messages about your enrollment. You can withdraw consent at any time by replying STOP to texts or unsubscribing from marketing emails.
• Provincial consumer protection. If you're enrolled in a province with mandatory cooling-off rights for distance learning contracts (Quebec, Ontario, and others), those rights apply to you and operate independently of our Do the Work Guarantee. You can use whichever is more favorable.

If you're enrolling from the EU or UK, you have rights under GDPR (data protection) and your local consumer protection laws, and we honor those. Email us if you want to exercise any of those rights.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

Most disputes between you and us will be resolved through binding arbitration instead of court. Here's how that works:

• Disputes are submitted to the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules.
• Arbitration takes place in Minnesota — in person, by phone, or by written submission, consistent with AAA rules.
• The arbitrator's decision is final and binding.
• Each side pays its own attorney fees unless the arbitrator awards otherwise.
• No class actions. Claims must be brought individually. You can't join with other enrollees in a class, collective, or representative action.

You can opt out of the arbitration clause in Section 16.2 by emailing us at [email protected] within 30 days of your enrollment. Use the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and include your full name and enrollment date. If you opt out, disputes go to state or federal court in Minnesota instead of arbitration. Nothing else in these terms changes if you opt out.

Either of us can still go to court to:

• Protect intellectual property (injunctions against IP violations)
• File in small claims court if the dispute qualifies

Any claim you have must be brought within two years of when it arose, or it's permanently waived (subject to any longer period required by applicable law).

If something genuinely outside our reasonable control disrupts the program — a natural disaster, a pandemic, a major internet outage, a government order — we'll do our best to keep going and communicate what's happening. We're not liable for delays or changes caused by events like these.

• Entire agreement. These terms, plus anything referenced in them (like our Privacy Policy), are the whole deal between us. No side deals.
• Severability. If any piece gets struck down as unenforceable, the rest still applies.
• No waiver. If we don't enforce something once, we're not giving up the right to enforce it later.
• Assignment. You can't transfer your enrollment to someone else. We can assign these terms (for example, if the company is acquired).
