- Contacting us at legal@wealthworks.us with a deletion request
Upon termination, your access to the Service will cease at the end of your current billing cycle (for paid subscribers) or immediately (for free tier users). Termination does not entitle you to a refund except as described in Section 5.
Termination by WealthWorks

- Violation of these Terms or our Privacy Policy
- Conduct that we reasonably believe is harmful to other users, WealthWorks, or third parties
- Extended periods of account inactivity (we will provide 30 days email notice before terminating inactive accounts)

Upon discontinuation, all subscriptions will be terminated and prorated refunds will be issued for unused portions of annual subscriptions. Founding member or lifetime promotional purchases are not entitled to refunds upon platform discontinuation, as described in Section 5.
11. Dispute Resolution
Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your ability to bring claims in court and your right to a jury trial.
Informal Resolution First
Before initiating any formal dispute, you agree to first contact us at legal@wealthworks.us and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will make good faith efforts to resolve any complaint within 30 days. Most concerns can be resolved quickly this way.
Binding Arbitration
If informal resolution fails, you and WealthWorks agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service — including questions about the existence, validity, or termination of these Terms — shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except as provided below.
Arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, which are available at adr.org. The arbitration will be conducted in South Carolina, or via videoconference at either party's request. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class Action Waiver
YOU AND WEALTHWORKS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
If a court finds this class action waiver unenforceable as to a particular claim, then that claim shall be severed from arbitration and may proceed in court, while remaining claims proceed in arbitration.
Exceptions to Arbitration
Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek relief in court for:
- Claims within the jurisdiction of small claims court
- Injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent unauthorized use of intellectual property or the Service
- Emergency relief where irreparable harm is imminent
Arbitration Fees
For claims under $10,000, WealthWorks will pay all AAA filing fees unless the arbitrator determines your claim is frivolous. For claims over $10,000, AAA fee allocation follows the Consumer Arbitration Rules.
Governing Law
These Terms and any disputes arising hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. To the extent any dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, you consent to exclusive jurisdiction in the state and federal courts located in South Carolina.
Time Limitation on Claims
Any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service must be brought within one year of the date the claim arose, or it will be permanently barred.
12. General Provisions
Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms disclosed at the time of purchase or promotion, constitute the entire agreement between you and WealthWorks regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, or representations relating to the same subject matter.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found by a court or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible. The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of WealthWorks to be effective.
Assignment
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. WealthWorks may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets without your consent, provided we give you reasonable notice and your rights under these Terms are preserved.
Force Majeure
WealthWorks will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, pandemic, war, terrorism, labor disputes, internet outages, third-party service failures, or government actions.
No Third-Party Beneficiaries
These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights. Only you and WealthWorks have rights under these Terms.
Notices
All notices to WealthWorks under these Terms must be sent to legal@wealthworks.us or by mail to our address listed in Section 13. We may provide notices to you via email at the address associated with your account or via a prominent notice on the Service.
Headings
