We are not a health care provider and our Services should not be considered medical advice. Only your health care provider can offer medical advice. The Services are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis and treatment. We make no claims that the Services provide any physical or therapeutic benefit. If you or any supervising adult has questions or concerns about your wellbeing or use of the Services in connection with your individual condition and circumstances, you should seek professional medical attention.
You may use our Services only if you can form a binding contract with NLM, and only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws. When you create your NLM account, and subsequently when you use certain features, you must provide us with accurate and complete information, and you agree to update your information to keep it accurate and complete. Any use or access by anyone under the age of 16 is prohibited without specific written consent from a legal guardian, and certain regions and Content Offerings may have additional requirements and/or restrictions.
Subject to these Terms and our policies (including the Community Policy, Refund Policy, Privacy Policy and course-specific eligibility requirements, and other terms), we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use our Services. You may download content from our Services only for your personal, non-commercial use, unless you obtain NLM’s written permission to otherwise use the content. You may not download streaming media in order to exceed our Service access periods (time periods) when applicable. You also agree that you will create, access, and/or use only one user account, unless expressly permitted by NLM, and you will not share with any third party access to or access information for your account. Using our Services does not give you ownership of our intellectual property or any intellectual property rights in our Services or the content you access.
NLM offers courses and content (“Content Offerings”) that we produce, as well as content from other providers (“Content Providers”). While we seek to provide world-class Content Offerings from our Content Providers, unexpected events do occur. NLM reserves the right to cancel, interrupt, reschedule, or modify any Content Offerings. Content Offerings are subject to the Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability sections below.
The Services may enable you to share your content, such as forum posts, pictures, quizzes and the like (“User Content”), with NLM, coaches, and/or other users. You retain all intellectual property rights in, and are responsible for, the User Content you share. User Content does not include course content or other materials that we create or that is made available on or placed on the NLM platform by or on behalf of NLM’s Content Providers or their instructors using the Services or the Content Offerings; as between NLM and its Content Providers, such Content Offerings are governed by the relevant agreements in place between NLM and its Content Providers.
To the extent that you provide User Content, you grant NLM a fully-transferable, royalty-free, perpetual, sublicensable, non-exclusive, worldwide license to copy, distribute, modify, create derivative works based on, publicly perform, publicly display, and otherwise use the User Content. This license includes granting NLM the right to authorize NLM affiliates to use User Content. Nothing in these Terms shall restrict other legal rights NLM may have to User Content, for example under other licenses. We reserve the right to remove or modify User Content for any reason, including User Content that we believe violates these Terms.
We welcome your suggestions, ideas, comments, and other feedback regarding the Services (“Feedback”). By submitting any Feedback, you grant us the right to use the Feedback without any restriction or any compensation to you. By accepting your Feedback, NLM does not waive any rights to use similar or related Feedback previously known to NLM, developed by its employees or contractors, or obtained from other sources.
We care about the security of our users. While we work to protect the security of your account and related information, NLM cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security measures. Please notify us immediately of any compromise or unauthorized use of your account by emailing info@nextlevelmethod.com.
Through the Services, you will have the ability to access and/or use content provided by instructors, other users, and/or other third parties as well as links to websites and services maintained by third parties. NLM cannot guarantee that such third party content, in the Services or elsewhere, will be free of material you may find objectionable or otherwise inappropriate or of malware or other contaminants that may harm your computer, mobile device, or any files therein. NLM disclaims any responsibility or liability related to your access or use of, or inability to access and use, such third party content.
NLM respects the intellectual property rights of our users, Content Providers, and other third parties and expects our users to do the same when using the Services.
NLM offers paid Services (i.e. online training courses) for a fee. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted and must be paid in U.S. Dollars. You are responsible for paying all fees charged by or for NLM and applicable taxes in a timely manner with a payment mechanism associated with the applicable paid Services. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect fees using other collection mechanisms. Fees may vary based on your location and other factors, and NLM reserves the right to change any fees at any time at its sole discretion. Any change, update, or modification will be effective immediately upon posting through the relevant Services. Refunds may be available for paid Services as described in our Refund Policy.
NLM may offer payment installments to allow you to pay for your Services over an agreed amount of time of two months. If you miss a payment, your account will be considered “delinquent” and your access to all Services and membership groups may be revoked until all amounts owed are paid in full. The ‘days overdue’ for any payment plan will be measured from the earliest missed payment date of any amount outstanding, regardless of later payments or payment dates.
If your account remains in delinquent status for longer than 30 days, NLM reserves the right to report any delinquent balance owed to a credit reporting bureau and/or collections agency subject to the NLM’s sole discretion. In the event that your account becomes past due and is referred by NLM to an outside collection agency or attorney, you will be responsible for the cost of collection services at the rate of 20% of the balance due, along with reasonable attorney fees and court costs incurred by NLM.
In no way should NLM’s offering of a payment plan be considered a “pay in part” program where you can pay only for partial access.
Next Level Method, LLC. reserves the right to terminate any affiliate relationships for any reason upon 30 days written notice. We require all of our affiliates to maintain a public-facing website, with clear privacy and terms of service policies. As a policy, Next Level Method, LLC. does not accept affiliates who run coupon, bargain, review or content aggregation services.
NLM reserves the right to immediately terminate an affiliate relationship if an affiliate violates these Terms or engages in deceptive business practices. We may also void any outstanding commissions if we believe they are the result of deceptive business practices.
We are constantly changing and improving our Services. We may add or remove functions, features, or requirements, and we may suspend or stop part of our Services altogether at any time. Accordingly, NLM may terminate your use of any Service for any reason. If your use of a paid Service is terminated, a refund may be available under our Refund Policy. We may not be able to deliver the Services to certain regions or countries for various reasons, including due to applicable export control requirements or internet access limitations and restrictions from governments. None of NLM, its Content Providers and instructors, its contributors, sponsors, and other business partners, and their employees, contractors, and other agents (the “NLM Parties”) shall have any liability to you for any such action. You can stop using our Services at any time, although we’ll be sorry to see you go.

The Next Level Method, LLC parties further disclaim any and all liability related to your access or use of the services or other content and materials.
While we make good faith efforts to include substantially accurate information in the services, errors or omissions may occur. If we receive notice of errors or omissions, we will make reasonable efforts to correct them in due course; but we make no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, performance, currency, or fitness for a particular purpose of the services, that the services will meet your requirements, or as to the results that will be derived from using any of the information included in the services.
You acknowledge and agree that any access to or use of the services is at your own risk.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Next Level Method, LLC parties shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from: (a) your access to or use of or inability to access or use the services; (b) any conduct or content of any party other than the applicable NLM party, including without limitation, any defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct; or (c) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your content or information. In no event shall NLM’s aggregate liability for all claims related to the services exceed one hundred U.S. Dollars ($100) or the total amount of fees received by NLM from you for the use of paid services during the past six months, whichever is greater.
You assume all responsibilities and obligations with respect to any decisions, advice, conclusions or recommendations made or given as a result of the use of the services, including without limitation any decision made or action taken by you in reliance upon our services.
You agree to seek advice from a licensed medical provider before performing any physical activity suggested by NLM parties.

You acknowledge and agree that the disclaimers and the limitations of liability set forth in this terms of use reflect a reasonable and fair allocation of risk between you and the NLM parties, and that these limitations are an essential basis to NLM’s ability to make the services available to you on an economically feasible basis.
You agree that any cause of action related to the services must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Next Level Method Parties from any and all claims, liabilities, expenses, and damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, made by any third party related to: (a) your use or attempted use of the Services in violation of these Terms; (b) your violation of any law or rights of any third party; or (c) User Content, including without limitation any claim of infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property or other proprietary rights.
The Services are managed by Next Level Method, LLC, which is located in Wichita, Kansas. You agree that any dispute related to these Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of Kansas, excluding its conflicts of law provisions. You further consent to the personal jurisdiction of and exclusive venue in the federal and state courts located in and serving Topeka, Kansas as the legal forum for any such dispute.
Excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief, for claims related to the Services where the total amount sought is less than ten thousand U.S. Dollars ($10,000.00 USD), either you or Next Level Method, LLC may elect at any point during the dispute to resolve the claim through binding, non-appearance-based arbitration. The dispute will then be resolved using an established alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) provider, mutually agreed upon by you and NLM. The parties and the selected ADR provider shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; rather, the arbitration shall be conducted, at the option of the party seeking relief, online, by telephone, or via written submissions alone. Any judgment rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
We reserve the right to revise the Terms at our sole discretion at any time. Any revisions to the Terms will be effective immediately upon posting by us. In all cases, your continued use of the Services after publication of such changes, with or without notification, constitutes binding acceptance of the revised Terms.
If a particular provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision will be eliminated and the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect. No waiver by Next Level Method, LLC of any term or condition will be deemed a further waiver of the term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure by NLM to assert a right or provision under the Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
These Terms and all referenced policies constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and NLM regarding the NLM website and apps.

NLM communities have explicit membership requirements, including the requirement that your account is in good standing and not delinquent. If your account is delinquent, we may terminate community access at any time.
All community members are to be kind and respectful. Our Communities are not places for judgment but rather forums for offering helpful advice, providing insight and perspective, and encouraging all members to continue their practice seek help when they need.
