These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Mike Atkins Teaching Ministries (“we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your use of The Life Paradigm website, courses, store, community, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing, purchasing, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
Eligibility and accounts
You must be at least [MINIMUM AGE] and legally able to enter into this agreement. If you use the Services for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it to these Terms.
You agree to provide accurate information, safeguard your login credentials, and promptly notify us of suspected unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity occurring through your account, except to the extent caused by our failure to meet an applicable legal duty.
Optional gifts and physical orders
Amounts, charges, and fulfillment
The Life Paradigm course is available with lifetime access. During enrollment, you will be invited to prayerfully choose a gift amount to support Mike Atkins Teaching Ministries. If you are unable to give at this time, you may still enroll at no cost. If you choose to make a gift or order a physical resource, you authorize us and our payment providers to charge the amount displayed before submission.
Physical product details, shipping information, and any applicable charges are shown during checkout. If you believe a charge or order was made in error, please contact us promptly.
Course access
Personal accounts and group study
Each course registration is associated with one person’s Kajabi account, and login credentials should not be shared. Groups and churches are welcome to study the material together, but each participant should register using their own email address.
The course and its materials may not be resold, publicly distributed, copied, uploaded, or sublicensed without written permission.
Lifetime access
What lifetime access means
Lifetime access refers to the supported life of The Life Paradigm course or service. It is not a guarantee that any particular platform or technology will remain available forever. We may migrate the content to a successor platform or provide a reasonably comparable method of access.
Content and conduct
Intellectual property
The Services—including videos, audio, text, graphics, downloads, branding, course structure, and other materials—are owned by or licensed to Mike Atkins Teaching Ministries and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the access license above, no rights are granted to you.
Acceptable use
You may not:
- Copy, record, reproduce, republish, upload, transmit, sell, sublicense, or distribute course materials except where we give written permission;
- Share an account beyond the number of people covered by your purchase;
- Remove copyright, trademark, or ownership notices;
- Attempt to bypass access controls, interfere with security, or gain unauthorized access;
- Use automated tools to scrape or extract content;
- Use the Services in a way that is unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, or harmful; or
- Misrepresent our content as your own or use it to create a competing course or service.
Your submissions
If you submit a testimonial, comment, message, image, or other content, you retain ownership of it. You grant us a non-exclusive license to host and process it as necessary to operate the Services. We will obtain any additional permission needed before publicly using your name, image, or testimonial for promotional purposes.
Educational and spiritual-content disclaimer
The Life Paradigm provides educational and spiritual teaching. It is not medical, mental-health, legal, financial, or other licensed professional advice and is not a substitute for care from a qualified professional. No particular spiritual, personal, relationship, health, financial, or other result is promised or guaranteed.
Availability and legal terms
Third-party services
The Services may rely on third-party platforms, payment providers, or links. We do not control third-party services and are not responsible for their independent content, availability, security, or practices. Your use of them may be subject to separate terms.
Availability, changes, and termination
We may maintain, update, migrate, replace, or discontinue parts of the Services. When a change materially affects purchased access, we will provide any notice, remedy, or substitute access required by law or promised at checkout.
We may suspend or terminate access if you materially violate these Terms, misuse the Services, fail to pay an amount due, or create a security or legal risk. Where appropriate, we will provide notice and a reasonable opportunity to correct the issue.
Disclaimer of warranties
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” WE DISCLAIM IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THIS DISCLAIMER DOES NOT LIMIT RIGHTS THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE WAIVED.
Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MIKE ATKINS TEACHING MINISTRIES AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL ARISING FROM THE SERVICES.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED [LIABILITY CAP—E.G., THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE RELEVANT SERVICE DURING THE PRECEDING 12 MONTHS]. These limits do not apply where prohibited by law.
Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Mike Atkins Teaching Ministries from third-party claims arising from your unlawful use of the Services, your content, or your material violation of these Terms. [COUNSEL TO CONFIRM SCOPE AND PROCEDURE.]
Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING STATE/COUNTRY], without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing a formal claim, each party agrees to make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute by contacting the other party. Subject to rights that cannot be waived, disputes will be brought in the courts located in [COUNTY, STATE/COUNTRY]. [ADD ARBITRATION OR MEDIATION TERMS ONLY IF SPECIFICALLY APPROVED BY COUNSEL.]
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms prospectively. If a change is material, we will provide reasonable notice where required. Continuing to use the Services after the revised Terms take effect constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.
General terms
If one provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a reorganization, merger, sale, or transfer of the Services, subject to applicable law. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, checkout disclosures, and any written order or license agreement constitute the entire agreement concerning the Services.
