1. Information and Education Only; Not Medical Advice
The Program is for informational and educational purposes only and is not to be perceived as or relied upon in any way as medical advice for any individual. The Program is NOT intended as, and must not be understood as or construed as, medical care or advice, the practice of medicine, the practice of dietetics or medical nutrition therapy, the practice of counseling care including, without limitation, psychiatry, psychology, psychotherapy, or as providing any form of medical diagnosis or treatment. Furthermore, the Program is not intended to and does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or medical condition.
Catherine Droessler of EBA50 Services Inc. is a weight loss coach, and not a licensed or registered dietician or licensed healthcare professional.
You should not rely on the Program or Program Content as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment from a qualified licensed healthcare provider who is familiar with your individual situation. Do not disregard, avoid or delay obtaining medical advice from a licensed medical or healthcare professional because of something you have read, viewed or heard on or in the Program or Program Content. Always seek the advice of your qualified healthcare provider with any questions you have regarding a medical condition or your health and prior to changing or reducing any medications, taking any herbal or dietary supplements, using any treatment for a health problem, or undertaking any significant changes to your health care regimen.
Because the strategies used in The Menopause Fat Loss Method can be so effective at improving health & wellness it is crucial that you work with your healthcare provider to monitor your medications and reduce them as needed as you go through the Program. This is important because EBA50 Services Inc. and any other individuals associated with the Program are not licensed physicians or healthcare providers and cannot advise you on medications.
Because we expressly recommend that you seek advice from a licensed medical or healthcare professional who has knowledge of the facts and circumstances of your individual situation and with respect to current medications, the use of this Program is solely at your own risk. EBA50 Services Inc. shall not be held liable or responsible for any errors or omissions in the Program or for any damage you may suffer because of failing to seek competent medical advice and medication monitoring from a licensed medical or healthcare professional.
Information and statements in the Program regarding dietary supplements and products have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Any dietary supplements or products which may be mentioned in the Program are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Additionally, it is important that you understand that many dietary and herbal supplements can interact with medications.

Any purchase by, use of, or access to the Program by anyone under age 18 is unauthorized, unlicensed and in violation of these Terms of Use.

*Participants who enroll in the Program during a special promotion may get access to the Facebook Group, Zoom Calls & MFL FAQ Video Library for 4-Months/16 weeks instead of 3-Months/12 weeks as a bonus.
The program runs for 3 months/12-weeks starting on the agreed to start date. Prior to your start date you are permitted to move your start date one time only.

4. Program Fees & Payments, Money Back Guarantee and Refund Policy
4A. Program Fees and Payment Policies
You have two payment options to purchase access to the Program.
- Option 1: One-Time Pay-in-Full due at time of enrollment.
- Option 2: Three-Month Payment Plan. If you choose the 3-month payment plan, the first instalment payment is due at the time of enrollment and your credit card will be automatically charged monthly at 30 day intervals during month 2 and month 3 of the Program.
We only accept credit card payments. By purchasing the Program, you agree that EBA50 Services Inc. is authorized to share any payment information and instructions required to complete the payment transactions with any third-party payment service providers (e.g., credit card transaction processing, merchant settlement, and related services) such as Stripe, Square, and others. EBA50 Services Inc. cannot and does not control and has no responsibility or liability for the policies or actions of the payment processing companies.
If paying via the 3-month payment plan you give EBA50 Services Inc. permission to automatically charge your credit card every 30 days for 3 consecutive months, from the date of your initial registration/purchase for all fees and charges due as payment for the Program without any additional authorization or notification.
If you sign up for the 3, 6 or 12-month renewable Alumni Membership you give EBA50 Services Inc. permission to automatically charge your credit card every 3, 6 or 12-months from the date of purchase, for all fees and charges due as payment for the Alumni Membership as applicable without any additional authorization or notification.
Currency Policy:
As an international business, all products, programs & services are priced in US Dollars (USD) to reflect the use of an internationally recognized currency.
As a result, for international purchases, your bank converts the charge based on the exchange rate on the day. Because exchange rates change daily, the amount you pay for each multi-payment plan may vary.
Declined or Failed Payment:
If there is a declined, failed or late payment, you will receive an e-mail with a two-day deadline to make payment.
If there is still no payment after two days, you will receive a second e-mail alerting you that your access to the Program and/or Alumni Membership content has been discontinued until the account is brought up to date, in addition if payment is not received within 2 days, a fixed administration fee of $75USD shall be added to your account for any/all late/failed payments.
At this point, you will not be granted access to any Program Content until payment is received, and we reserve the right to terminate your access to the Program and all Program Content immediately and permanently; this includes access to The Menopause Fat Loss Method Hub, the Private Facebook Group, e-mail communications, Group Coaching Calls, The MFL FAQ Video Library or any other method of communications related to the Program without refund.
If any Alumni Membership 3, 6 or 12-month renewable payment is declined or late, you will be notified via email and will be immediately removed from access to the Facebook Group and Group Coaching Calls, The MFL FAQ Video Library, The Menopause Fat Loss for Life Membership/Challenge Hub and The Recipe & Meal Plan Hub until payment is made. In addition a fixed administration fee of $75USD shall be added to your account for any/all late/failed payments.
If you fail to make payment within 2-days in accordance with these Terms of Use or voluntarily decide to withdraw from the Program at any time or for any reason whatsoever, you will remain fully responsible for the full cost of the Program and all remaining payments if you are paying in a payment plan of monthly instalments, as well as any late payment fees. We reserve our right to seek payment from you for any delinquent payment that is not provided by or upon the date due by enlisting the help of a collections’ agency, and we may exercise our right to report your delinquent payment to all three credit reporting agencies, either directly or through the help of a collections’ agency.
You agree to only purchase the Program for yourself or for another person for whom you are legally permitted to do so or for whom you have obtained the express consent to provide their name, address, method of payment, credit card number, and billing information. And you agree to be financially responsible for any purchases made by you or someone acting on your behalf.
Chargeback Threats, Reversal of Payment, Payment Cancellations, and Actual Chargebacks:
Since we have a clear and explicit refund policy in these Terms of Use that you have agreed to prior to completing the purchase of any of our Program, and Program Materials , you agree that any type of chargeback threat, reversal of payment, payment cancellation, actual chargeback or claim from your credit card company, financial institution, or any other payment service will constitute a breach of these Terms of Use on your part.
In the event that a chargeback, reversal of payment, or payment cancellation is initiated by you or we receive a chargeback threat, we reserve the right to report the incident to all three credit reporting agencies, or any other entity for inclusion in any chargeback database or for listing as a delinquent account, which could have a negative impact on your credit report score. The information reported will include your name, email address, payment date, payment amount, and billing address. Chargeback abusers wishing to be removed from the database shall make the payment for the amount of the chargeback.

Refund requests submitted after Day 21 5pm, will not be considered. After Day 21 5:01pm ET, all payments are non-refundable and you are responsible for full payment of the fees for the program regardless of whether or not you continue to participate or utilize the program.
If a refund is granted for an international purchase, the amount you receive in your local currency may be different from the amount you paid (in USD) due to exchange rate fluctuations. Your bank converts the refund based on the exchange rate on the day the refund is issued. Because exchange rates change daily, the refund amount may not match the amount you originally paid in your currency.
If you receive a refund of any purchase through this money-back guarantee, that shall immediately terminate any and all licenses granted you to use the material provided to you under these Terms of Use or any other agreement. You shall immediately cease using the material and shall destroy all copies of the information provided to you, including without limitation: video recordings, audio recordings, forms, template documents, slide shows, meal plans, recipes, membership areas, social media groups limited to paying members, and other resources.
Any customer may redeem a money-back guarantee from the Company only once regardless of how many products and/or services the customer purchases. In other words, after a customer has received a refund for any one product under this money-back guarantee, that customer shall not be entitled to a refund as to any other product or service purchased from the Company.

19. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario regardless of the conflict of laws principles.
It is hoped that you will have no dispute with EBA50 Services Inc.. However, should a dispute arise between you and EBA50 Services Inc., we would like to be able to work it out amicably through e-mail correspondence. Therefore, it is requested that you contact EBA50 Services Inc. via e-mail in attempt to resolve any dispute prior to seeking legal action and include your reasons for dissatisfaction.
However, should we be unable to resolve any potential dispute within a reasonable time, you agree now that the only method of legal dispute resolution that will be used is binding arbitration before a single arbitrator, selected jointly, in accordance with the American Arbitration Association Rules. You understand and agree now that the only remedy that can be awarded to you through arbitration is full refund of your payment ** made to purchase the Program as of the date of such dispute. No other actions or financial awards of consequential damages, or any other type of damages, may be granted to you. We both agree now that the decision of the arbitrator is final and binding, and may be entered as a judgment into any court having the appropriate jurisdiction.
You also agree that should arbitration take place, it will be held in Ottawa in the Province of Ontario, and the prevailing party shall be entitled to all reasonable attorneys’ fees and all costs necessary to enforce the decision of the arbitrator.
By purchasing the Program, you are agreeing to a modification of the statute of limitations such that any arbitration must be begun within one (1) year of the date of your e-mail to EBA50 Services Inc. referenced above or you waive the right to seek dispute resolution by arbitration or to take any other legal action related to the Program or these Terms of Use.
** If through arbitration a refund is granted for an international purchase, the amount you receive may be different from the amount you paid due to exchange rate fluctuations. Your bank converts the refund based on the exchange rate on the day the refund is issued. Because exchange rates change daily, the refund amount may not match the amount you originally paid in your currency.
