Section 01

The Program

1.1 What A2A Is

Automate to Accelerate is an 8-week live cohort-based program, preceded by a Week 0 orientation session (9 weeks total on the calendar; Week 0 does not count toward attendance or eligibility requirements), that teaches business owners, leaders, and their teams how to build AI-powered businesses. The Fall 2026 cohort begins October 19, 2026 and concludes December 15, 2026.

1.2 Who Runs It

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

1.3 Enrollment

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.

1.4 Age & Authority

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.

1.5 Which Version of These Terms Applies to You

These Terms govern the Automate to Accelerate Fall 2026 Cohort only. The version of the Terms in effect at the moment of Client's enrollment governs that Client's guarantee, deferral, refund, and access rights for that cohort - permanently - even if Company later publishes updated Terms for a future cohort. A Client enrolled in a later or earlier cohort is governed by the Terms published for that cohort, not this one.

Section 02

Your Team

2.1 Team Seats

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, and gets their own program access and agrees to these same terms when they log in.

2.2 Primary Enrollee's Role

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.

2.3 Non-Transferable

Team seats are transferable up until week 4. If a team member leaves your company after week 4, their seat ends.

Section 03

Your Investment

3.1 Pricing

Pay in full: $8,997 · 3-payment plan: $3,199/mo × 3 · 5-payment plan: $1,957/mo × 5 · Team seats (pay in full): $1,500 each.

3.2 Payment Processing

All payments are processed through Stripe. 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).

3.3 If a Payment Fails

Day 0 first notice, Day 3 second reminder, Day 8 third reminder, Day 13 final notice, Day 14 access suspended if unresolved. Outstanding balances may be sent to collections.

3.4 SMS Consent

By checking the SMS consent box at checkout, you agree to receive text messages from Uncommon Business LLC about your enrollment. Message and data rates may apply. Text STOP to opt out of non-essential messages.

3.5 Price Changes

We may change pricing for future cohorts. Your payment obligation, once enrolled, doesn't change.

Section 04

Do the Work Guarantee Policy

Applies only to the Automate to Accelerate Fall 2026 Cohort. Incorporated into the Program Participation Agreement.

4.1 Sole Statement of the Guarantee

This Section 4 is the complete and exclusive statement of the Do the Work Guarantee for the Fall 2026 Cohort. No other description - webinar, sales page, email, or verbal - modifies it. If any other description conflicts with this Section 4, this Section 4 controls.

4.2 The Guarantee

If Client meets every requirement in this Section 4 - attendance, builds, proof, the required written explanation described below, and the submission window in Section 4.3 - Company will issue a full refund for that seat. This is the only path to a cash refund - deferral never includes cash, under any circumstance.

4.3 Request Window

Client may submit a Do the Work Guarantee request any time up to the end of the Program, meaning the conclusion of the final (Week 8) live session. Requests before Week 4 may be rejected as premature. No request is accepted, and no exception is made, after the Week 8 live session concludes - this applies regardless of the reason for the delay.

4.4 Attendance and Build Requirement, Scaled to Submission Week

Client must have attended at least 75% of the sessions held through the week in which the request is submitted (live or by replay), and submitted proof of every AI employee build through that week. For example: a request submitted during Week 5 requires attendance of at least 75% of the sessions held through Week 5 and proof of all 5 builds; a request submitted at the end of the Program requires attendance of at least 75% of all sessions and proof of every build through Week 8.

4.5 Actual Implementation Required

A qualifying build must be actually created and deployed, evidenced by the screenshot required under 4.4. Watching a training, downloading a template, or intending to build later does not count as a completed build.

4.6 Submission Channel

Client must submit through the Refund Request Form, linked in the enrollment confirmation, TUB Connect, and every payment reminder. If Client cannot access the Form, Client must email [email protected] with "Refund Request" in the subject line and the same required information. This email is the only backup channel, and the date received starts the clock.

4.7 Acknowledgment

Company confirms receipt within 3 business days. If Company misses that, the cutoff in 4.3 is paused for that request only, for the number of days Company was late - it does not extend past what's needed to make up the delay, and does not entitle Client to automatic approval.

4.8 Required Written Explanation

As part of the refund request, Client must submit a written explanation covering: (1) Attendance - which live sessions or replays Client attended; (2) The builds - a description of the AI employee builds Client completed; and (3) Why it doesn't work - a specific explanation of why what Client built does not function, is not usable, or does not benefit Client's business, and Client's actual reasoning for why it cannot be used - not simply a statement that Client is unhappy. An explanation that only restates one of the following, without the specific reasoning required above, does not satisfy this requirement: not having generated revenue, ROI, or business results yet; needing funds for business runway or cash flow reasons unrelated to Program quality; the Program's scope or format not matching Client's specific business model or use case; a third party restricting Client's use of the AI tools taught, after enrollment; general business or personal circumstances unconnected to a specific, identifiable Program deficiency; or a change in Client's priorities, availability, or interest.

4.9 Diagnostic Conversation

Company may require a short conversation to confirm eligibility and clarify submissions before approving or denying a request. Refusal or non-response after reasonable scheduling efforts may result in denial as incomplete.

4.10 Refund Amount

If Client qualifies, Company refunds all payments made for that seat and cancels remaining installments for that seat.

4.11 Alternative Next-Cohort Seat

Company may, at its own initiative, offer a free next-cohort seat instead of cash. This is not a right Client may invoke or request - Company will identify if it is available. If Client accepts, the request is resolved and no cash refund is owed unless Company agrees otherwise in writing.

4.12 Payment Plans During Review

Scheduled installments pause once a complete request is submitted during the window. Approved → cancelled. Denied → resume, may require catch-up.

4.13 Access During Review

Company may immediately suspend access to protected materials during review; live sessions/office hours may continue unless suspension is warranted by non-payment, misconduct, IP misuse, or chargeback activity.

4.14 Access After Decision

Approved → access ends no later than refund processing. Denied → access may be restored once Client is in good standing.

4.15 Decision and Processing

Good-faith decision within 10 business days of a complete request. Approved refunds processed within 30 days.

4.16 Per-Seat Claims

Guarantee rights apply per seat, independently.

4.17 No Refund, Deferral, or Accommodation Outside This Policy

Client does not qualify if Client fails to attend, fails to build, fails to submit proof, fails to provide the written explanation required under 4.8, or misses the cutoff in Section 4.3. This includes the qualifying events described in Section 8.1 if the request or event falls after the Week 6 deferral cutoff - see Section 8.

4.18 Non-Waivable Rights

Nothing here limits rights that cannot legally be waived.

4.19 Savings Clause Cross-Reference

This Section 4 - including the request window in Section 4.3 and the eligibility requirements in Sections 4.4 and 4.8 - is subject to Section 17.8 (Non-Waivable Rights; Savings Clause).

Section 05

What You Get & How Long You Get It

5.1 During the Cohort

8 live implementation sessions with matching office hours, private Slack, CalChat, curriculum via TUB Connect, AI Employee Vault, bonus workshops.

5.2 After the Cohort

Curriculum and Vault access: 12 months from cohort start, through October 27, 2027. Slack: December 18, 2026. CalChat: January 8, 2027. Live sessions/office hours end with the final (8th) session.

5.3 Recordings Are the Curriculum

"Curriculum" means recorded sessions, written materials, templates, playbooks, and TUB Connect materials.

5.4 Program Updates

Content updates communicated via email; program may evolve with AI advancements.

5.5 Technical Support

Best-effort basis, no liability for third-party platform outages.

Section 06

How We Behave in the Community

6.1 What We Expect

"Show up as an adult. Respect the other builders. Keep community conversations in the community. Don't recruit for competing programs, don't spam, don't discriminate, don't harass, don't bully."

6.2 If Someone Breaks These Standards

Company may, but is not required to, reach out first. If the behavior is severe or continues, Company may remove the person from the community, suspend access, or terminate enrollment. Termination for conduct violations does not trigger a refund, and any remaining balance remains due.

Section 07

What You Own & What You Can Do With It

7.1 The Principle

You own what you learn. We own what we built.

7.2 What You're Free To Do

Use everything in your own business, apply it in client work, show your work publicly, credit us, talk about your experience, keep everything you build.

7.3 What You Can't Do

Don't share our materials, don't teach A2A as your own program, don't enroll your team by proxy, don't claim ownership of our IP.

7.4 Screenshots, Social Posts, and Where the Line Is

OK to screenshot your own work; not OK to screenshot company slides, curriculum pages, Vault UI, or CalChat responses.

7.5 Commercial Licensing

Contact [email protected] for licensing discussions regarding teaching A2A or commercial IP use.

7.6 If You Cross the Line

If you breach these IP rules, we may terminate your enrollment immediately, revoke your access, and pursue legal remedies including damages and attorney fees. We may also pursue all available legal and equitable remedies, which may include civil litigation, injunctive relief, damages, and, where the conduct at issue violates applicable law, referral to law enforcement or regulatory authorities for criminal investigation or prosecution.

7.7 Confidentiality

Our prompts, frameworks, playbooks, and materials are confidential trade secrets we developed at real cost, not generally known publicly, and you agree to keep them that way. We limit access to registered participants to protect that confidentiality, and we're counting on you to do the same. Don't disclose them to anyone outside your own business, in any form, for any reason. This obligation survives after your enrollment ends, however it ends.

Section 08

Deferral Policy

8.1 Qualifying Events

Serious medical emergency or diagnosis (Client, spouse, child, parent); death in immediate family; birth, adoption, or foster placement during the cohort; natural disaster, fire, or home displacement; active military deployment or call-up; acute documented business crisis.

8.2 Deferral

If a qualifying event occurs, Client may request a one-time deferral to the immediately next cohort. Request within 14 days of the event, and in all cases before the conclusion of the Week 6 live session - whichever comes first. Current-cohort access ends; Client rejoins fresh in the next cohort. Payment plan obligations continue during the deferral. Do the Work Guarantee rights apply fresh in the deferred cohort. Documentation required.

8.3 Hard Cutoff

No deferral, refund, or other accommodation is available for any qualifying event, circumstance, or request arising or submitted after the Week 6 live session concludes, regardless of the reason and regardless of documentation provided.

8.4 Team Seats in a Deferral

Each team member has a choice: defer with you, or continue in the current cohort. Each seat makes its own decision.

8.5 Savings Clause Cross-Reference

This Section 8 - including the Week 6 cutoff in Section 8.3 - is subject to Section 17.8 (Non-Waivable Rights; Savings Clause).

Section 09

Recording & Promotional Rights

9.1 Recording Consent

By enrolling, you consent to being recorded - your questions, comments, and participation become part of the program archive.

9.2 Testimonial & Marketing Rights

Worldwide, royalty-free grant to use testimonials, screenshots, recordings, results, photos, and videos in marketing materials; continues after access ends.

9.3 If You'd Rather Not Be Featured

At enrollment, you can opt out of being featured in external marketing by emailing [email protected]. This opt-out applies to future use only - we're not required to remove anything already published before we received your request. Session recordings remain part of the curriculum regardless.

Section 10

Privacy & Your Data

Enrollment information used to run program, communicate, improve offerings, and market (with permission). Payment processed by Stripe (not stored by Company). Full Privacy Policy at theuncommonbusiness.co.

Section 11

Chargebacks

"Chargebacks are a last resort, not a first move" - contact company for billing issues first. If you file without contacting Company first: immediate access termination, remaining balance accelerates and becomes immediately due, you are responsible for chargeback and collection fees. Do the Work Guarantee still honored if otherwise qualified.

A chargeback filed while a Section 4 refund request is pending will be treated under Section 12.2 (Termination), regardless of the request's merits, unless Company determines otherwise in its discretion.

Section 12

Cancellation & Termination

12.1 Voluntary Withdrawal

Participants can stop at any time; access continues, payment plan continues, guarantee and deferral policies remain available.

12.2 Company Termination Grounds

Serious breach of community standards; IP rule breach; non-payment after 14-day grace period; misrepresentation at enrollment; chargeback filed without contacting company. Termination results in immediate access end, no refund, full remaining balance due.

Section 13

What We Can't Guarantee

No guarantee of specific business outcomes - "not revenue, not hours saved, not hires avoided." Not legal, tax, or financial advice - "we're not your lawyer, accountant, or financial advisor." Third-party tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Notion, Zapier, etc.) may change without notice; Company is not responsible. AI is moving fast - "some of what we teach in Week 1 may be outdated by Week 8."

AI Architect skills, not AI tool mandates. We teach using Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI tools because they're the best tools currently available for teaching these skills. Becoming an AI Architect does not require Client to keep using any specific AI tool - including Claude or ChatGPT - in Client's business or day-to-day work after the Program. If Client's workplace, industry, or clients restrict a specific AI tool after enrollment, that doesn't change what was taught or reduce the value delivered, and is not a basis for a refund (see Section 4.8).

Section 14

Limitation of Liability

Total liability capped at total fees paid. "We are not liable for lost profits, lost revenue, lost business opportunities, indirect damages, or consequential damages of any kind." Not liable for third-party platform failures or business decisions based on program content.

Section 15

Indemnification

15.1 Client's Indemnification Obligation

Client - meaning the primary Enrollee and each team seat holder enrolled under Section 2, each with respect to their own acts, omissions, and use of the Program - agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, and affiliates (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) Client's use of or participation in the Program; (b) Client's breach of these Terms; (c) Client's violation of any law or third-party right; or (d) any content, materials, questions, or contributions Client submits or shares in connection with the Program.

15.2 Independent Obligation of Each Seat

Each team seat holder's obligation under this Section 15 is independent of, and not limited by, the primary Enrollee's obligation, and vice versa. This obligation applies the same way regardless of whether Client is the primary Enrollee or a team seat holder - every enrolled individual is responsible for indemnifying the Indemnified Parties for their own conduct.

15.3 Not Subject to the Liability Cap

The limitation of liability in Section 14 applies only to claims against Company and does not limit, cap, or otherwise restrict Client's indemnification obligations to the Indemnified Parties under this Section 15.

Section 16

International Enrollees

16.1 Global Application

Terms apply worldwide; local legal rights that cannot be waived remain in effect.

16.2 Canadian Enrollees

CASL compliance: express consent given at checkout. Reply STOP to opt out of non-essential messages. Provincial consumer protection and cooling-off rights apply; Client can use whichever protection is more favorable.

16.3 EU/UK Enrollees

GDPR and local consumer protection laws honored.

Section 17

Legal Stuff

17.1 Governing Law

Minnesota state law governs (without conflict-of-laws principles).

17.2 Arbitration

Most disputes resolved through binding arbitration via the American Arbitration Association Consumer Arbitration Rules, in Minnesota. No class actions - claims must be brought individually.

17.3 Arbitration Opt-Out

Enrollees may opt out within 30 days by emailing [email protected] with subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and enrollment date.

17.4 Arbitration Exceptions

Court available for IP protection (injunctions) and small claims.

17.5 Two-Year Claims Limit

Any claim must be brought within two years of when it arose, or it's permanently waived.

17.6 Force Majeure

Company not liable for delays from natural disasters, pandemics, internet outages, or government orders.

17.7 Standard Provisions

Entire agreement; severability if a provision is struck down; non-enforcement once doesn't waive future enforcement; Enrollee cannot transfer, Company may assign.

17.8 Non-Waivable Rights; Savings Clause

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms - including without limitation Sections 4 and 8 - to the extent any provision of these Terms is prohibited by, or conflicts with, a provision of law applicable to Client that cannot lawfully be waived or contracted around ("Non-Waivable Law"), that provision shall be enforced against that Client only to the maximum extent permitted by such Non-Waivable Law, and shall be deemed automatically modified to the minimum extent necessary to comply with it. This Section 17.8 applies only where, and to the extent, a Non-Waivable Law actually applies to Client and the transaction at issue; where no such law applies, the applicable provisions of these Terms - including Sections 4 and 8 - apply in full according to their terms. A modification under this Section 17.8 as to one Client does not affect the enforceability of the relevant provision as to any other Client, and does not modify any other provision of these Terms.

17.9 No Rights Beyond This Agreement

Except as expressly provided in Section 17.8, Sections 4 and 8 are the complete and exclusive statement of Client's refund, deferral, and accommodation rights for this cohort. No other accommodation is available under this Agreement. If Company ever provides something beyond what this Agreement requires, that decision is made independently of this Agreement, does not amend it, does not entitle Client to it again in the future, and does not entitle any other Client to similar treatment, regardless of how similar the circumstances may seem.

Section 18

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms; material changes communicated at least 30 days in advance.

Per Section 1.5, a Client's guarantee, deferral, and refund rights remain governed by the Terms in effect at the time of that Client's enrollment.
