Absolutely nothing on the Website or communicated implicitly or explicitly from the related Service should be interpreted to be medical advice or medical care. The Website and Services are in no way the practice of medical care or medical advice.

Therefore, you acknowledge that the use of this Website and related Services is at your own risk.

Please read the entire disclaimer below before use of the Website or Service. We will not be held responsible for any liability as a result of use of the Website or Services.

ADVICE AND MEDICAL DISCLAIMER

It is essential that you consult your physician or other healthcare provider before starting this or any other exercise, posture, or nutrition program to determine if it is right for you. This is especially important in cases where you (or your family members) have a history of conditions including but not limited to high blood pressure, low blood pressure, heart disease, high cholesterol, bone issues, joint issues, cancer, and obesity. If you ever experience any fatigue, dizziness, pain, or shortness of breath while conducting any exercise or exercise program, you should stop immediately and consult your healthcare provider before continuing.

The Website and Services of The Short Foot Method offer general information about fitness, exercise, and posture. Nothing on the Website or Services (stated implicitly or explicitly) is to be considered medical advice, the practice of medicine, medical treatment, or professional counseling in any way. For clarity, the practice of medicine includes but is not limited to physical therapy, psychiatry, psychology, psychotherapy, nutrition counseling, general medicine, orthopedics, chiropractic care, or any treatment or diagnosis of any medical conditions. You will in no way use this Website or Services or any affiliates as a substitute for or replacement of medical advice, diagnosis, or medical treatment. Do not ever allow any content on the Website or Services (explicit or implicit) to affect or impact medical decisions in any way, including but not limited to when to see your doctor or other healthcare provider. The use of the Website, Services, or affiliate websites and services is at your own risk.

The use of terms including but not limited to "flat foot posture", "foot posture", "low arches", "no arches", on the Website and in Services are not to be conflated with the medical conditions "Pes Planus", "Flat Footedness", "Fallen Arches", "Pronation or Overpronation", "Pes Planovalgus", "PTTD", "Flexible Flatfoot", "Rigid Flatfoot", "Collapsed Arch". Our Program is designed to address posture alignment through exercise and education, which falls within the health and wellness domain, not medical treatment. Therefore, all information on posture and foot posture is to be taken as general information on posture improvement, not medical advice or treatment for said conditions. If you suspect you have any medical condition, it is essential that you consult the appropriate healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.

If you suspect you are ever having a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.

Though medical research is valued highly by us, the Website and Services are never to be seen as an authority on any topic, nor as a replacement for medical literature.

TESTIMONIALS AND RESULTS DISCLAIMER

BUI VENTURES LLC makes no guarantees, representations, or warranties regarding the results you may or may not achieve from using the Website or Services. Your results, if any, will vary based on numerous factors including but not limited to your individual physical condition, genetics, body composition, prior injuries, consistency of effort, adherence to the Program, lifestyle factors, diet, sleep, stress levels, and other variables beyond our control.

Any testimonials, success stories, case studies, examples, or results shared on the Website, in marketing materials, through the Services, or in any other communications are not intended to represent or guarantee that anyone will achieve the same or similar results. These testimonials represent extraordinary results and are not typical of the average user's experience. Many users will experience little to no results.

Testimonials and endorsements displayed on the Website or in our marketing materials reflect the real-life experiences of individuals who have used the Program. However, these results are their individual experiences and outcomes, which may not be representative of your experience. These individuals may have unique circumstances, dedication levels, or other factors that contributed to their results.

While we make reasonable efforts to verify testimonials and results shared by users, we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or authenticity of any user-submitted testimonials. Testimonials may have been edited for clarity, grammar, or length, but have not been altered in a way that changes their substantive meaning.

Any references to improvements in physical condition, pain reduction, posture changes, or other health-related outcomes in testimonials or marketing materials are not medical claims and should not be interpreted as such. These are subjective reports of individual experiences and are not promises of medical treatment or cures for any condition.

Any results achieved through the Program require consistent effort, dedication, and adherence to the exercise protocols and recommendations provided. Results, if achieved, may take weeks, months, or longer to manifest, and there is no guarantee that you will see any results at all.

In accordance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, we are required to disclose that testimonials and endorsements on our Website and in our marketing materials may not be representative of the typical user's experience. As with any exercise or fitness program, individual results will vary, and we cannot guarantee that you will experience any specific results or outcomes.

You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for your own results and outcomes. We are not responsible for your failure to achieve any specific results, and you agree not to hold us liable for any disappointment, dissatisfaction, or lack of results from using the Program.

 

REFUND AND SATISFACTION GUARANTEE POLICY

Our satisfaction guarantee applies exclusively to the lifetime package purchase. Monthly subscription fees are non-refundable under any circumstances, as stated in the Payment and Billing Terms section of this Agreement.

If you purchase the lifetime package and are not satisfied with the Program, you may request a full refund within thirty (30) days of your purchase date by sending a written refund request via email to info@shortfootmethod.com.

In order to receive a refund, you are required to participate in an exit interview with our team. The purpose of this interview is to gather feedback and information that will help us improve the Website and Services for future users. The exit interview may be conducted via email, phone, or video call at our discretion and must be completed within a reasonable timeframe. If you refuse to participate in the exit interview or fail to complete it, you forfeit your right to the satisfaction guarantee and no refund will be issued.

This satisfaction guarantee is intended for users who genuinely try the Program and are not satisfied with their experience. You agree that you will only request a refund when you are legitimately dissatisfied with the Program. If we determine, in our reasonable judgment, that there is evidence you are attempting to use the refund policy to obtain the Website and Services for free (such as through patterns of repeated purchases and refunds, completing the entire Program before requesting a refund, or other abuse of the policy), we reserve the right to deny your refund request. You agree not to abuse this guarantee in any way.

Refunds will be issued within thirty (30) days of your refund request, provided you have completed the exit interview requirement. You agree to allow us the full thirty (30) days to process your refund and will not initiate a chargeback or dispute with your credit card company or payment processor during this period.

You agree not to contact your credit card company, bank, or payment processor to dispute the charge or request a chargeback until at least thirty (30) days after submitting your refund request to us. Initiating a chargeback before allowing us the opportunity to process your refund constitutes a breach of this Agreement and may result in denial of your refund and termination of your account.

If you have not received your refund within thirty (30) days of your request, you are required to notify us immediately at info@shortfootmethod.com so that we can investigate the issue and work with our payment processor to resolve any problems. We cannot be held responsible for delays caused by your bank, credit card company, or payment processor.

If you receive a refund under this satisfaction guarantee, you acknowledge that we have acted in good faith to make the situation right. You agree not to post false, misleading, or defamatory statements about BUI VENTURES LLC, The Short Foot Method, our team, or our Services on social media, review sites, forums, or any other public platform. This does not prevent you from sharing honest opinions about your experience, but you agree not to make false claims or engage in defamation after we have issued your refund.

After the thirty (30) day guarantee period has expired, all sales are final. No refunds, credits, or exchanges will be provided for any reason after this period.

Within thirty (30) days of either party sending formal written notice of demand for arbitration to the other party (sent to info@shortfootmethod.com for notices to us, or to the email address on file in your account for notices to you), both parties must jointly and in good faith agree upon the selection of a single neutral arbitrator. The arbitrator must:

  • Be a member in good standing of the Colorado Bar Association with at least ten (10) years of experience
  • Have expertise in contract law, consumer disputes, or related areas
  • Be independent and impartial with no financial or personal interest in the outcome
  • Be licensed to practice law in the State of Colorado

If the parties cannot agree on a neutral arbitrator within thirty (30) days, either party may petition the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or JAMS to appoint a qualified arbitrator in accordance with their rules and procedures. The appointed arbitrator must meet the qualifications outlined above.

The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) and, to the extent not inconsistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or JAMS. The arbitration shall take place in the State of Colorado or, by mutual agreement, may be conducted remotely via videoconference or telephone.

Each party shall bear their own attorneys' fees and costs unless the arbitrator determines otherwise based on applicable law. The parties shall share equally the fees and costs of the arbitrator and arbitration administration unless the arbitrator determines that one party should bear such costs.

The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any relief that would be available in court under law or in equity, including but not limited to monetary damages, injunctive relief, and declaratory relief. The arbitrator must follow applicable substantive law and may award attorneys' fees and costs if permitted by law. However, the arbitrator shall not have the authority to conduct any form of class, collective, or representative proceeding or to join or consolidate claims by or against multiple individuals.

Individual Claims Only - No Class Actions: You and BUI VENTURES LLC agree that any arbitration or legal proceeding shall be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a class action, collective action, representative action, or consolidated action. You may not commence or maintain against us or our affiliates any class action, class arbitration, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding of any kind. You may not act as a class representative or participate as a member of a class of claimants in any such proceeding.

BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU AND BUI VENTURES LLC ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE DISPUTES IN COURT (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court, as described below). Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury.

The arbitrator's decision and award shall be final and binding on both parties, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Arbitration decisions are enforceable in court under the Federal Arbitration Act.

Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court if the claim qualifies for small claims court jurisdiction and remains in small claims court. Additionally, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, AND IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID (BUT THE REMAINDER OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL REMAIN IN EFFECT).

You have the right to opt out of this Arbitration and Dispute Resolution provision. To opt out, you must send written notice of your decision to opt out via email to info@shortfootmethod.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting this Agreement or first using the Website or Services, whichever is earlier. Your opt-out notice must include your full name, email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration agreement. If you opt out, all other terms of this Agreement will continue to apply, but disputes between you and us will be resolved in court rather than through arbitration.

This Arbitration and Dispute Resolution provision shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement and your use of the Website or Services.

SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its intent to the greatest extent possible. If such modification is not possible, the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be severed from this Agreement.

The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and all remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The parties agree that any court or arbitrator shall have the authority to modify or replace any invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision that most closely reflects the original intent of the parties.
