Local Authority Engine, Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") are an agreement between you ("you" or "Customer") and John Garuti III LLC ("Company," "we," "our," or "us"), a Florida-based business operating the Local Authority Engine program ("Program"). By enrolling in the Program, accessing our website, or using any of our services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not enroll or use our services.

1. The Program

Local Authority Engine is a 6-month coaching program for licensed real estate agents covering YouTube content strategy, lead generation systems, and AI-powered content workflows. The Program includes a 7-module pre-recorded curriculum, live group coaching calls, personalized work audits, 1-business-day asynchronous feedback, quarterly group Q&A sessions with John Garuti, custom content scripts, templates and AI prompts, access to a private members community, and a continuing-coaching guarantee under specified conditions. The Program is delivered through Skool. Email communications are managed through GoHighLevel.

2. Enrollment

To enroll, you complete payment via our Stripe-powered checkout. Upon successful payment, you will receive access to Skool within 10 minutes via email invitation. If you do not receive the invitation, contact info@johngaruti.com.

3. Payment

3.1 Monthly Subscription

If you select the monthly payment option, you agree to:

• A 6-month subscription term
• Automatic monthly charges of $199 USD on the same date each month, beginning on the date of enrollment, for 6 monthly payments total
• A total commitment of $1,194 USD across the 6-month term

At the end of the 6-month term, your subscription ends automatically. You will not be charged again.

Cancellation during the 6-month term prevents future scheduled charges. Cancellation does not refund payments already processed.

3.2 Pay-in-Full

If you select the pay-in-full option, you pay $997 USD as a single charge for the full 6-month Program term. Pay-in-full payments are non-refundable.

At the end of the 6-month term, your enrollment ends automatically.

3.3 Founding Member Rate

Customers enrolled during the founding cohort (May 7 through May 14, 2026) receive 50% off the standard rate: $997 paid in full or $199 per month for 6 months. The founding window closes May 14, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Standard rate after the founding cohort closes is $1,997 paid in full or $399 per month for new enrollees.

3.4 Failed Payments

If a scheduled monthly payment fails, we will attempt to retry the charge. If payment cannot be collected within 14 days, we may suspend your access to the Program. Reactivation requires payment of the outstanding balance.

3.5 Chargebacks

By enrolling and agreeing to these Terms via the click-through acceptance at checkout, you authorize the charges described above and acknowledge the 6-month commitment. Initiating a chargeback for a properly-disclosed and consented-to charge constitutes a breach of these Terms. We will respond to chargeback claims with documentation of your acceptance of these Terms (including timestamp, IP address, and the electronic record of consent captured at checkout) and may pursue collection of disputed amounts.

4. Cancellation

To cancel your subscription, contact us at info@johngaruti.com with your name and the email address associated with your account. We will process your cancellation within 2 business days. Your access to the Program continues through the end of your current billing period. No further charges will be made after cancellation processes. Cancellation prevents future charges only. Payments already processed are not refundable.

5. Refund Policy

5.1 No Refunds on Completed Payments

All payments are final once processed. We do not provide refunds for past monthly subscription payments, pay-in-full payments, or any portion of the 6-month commitment.

5.2 Show Up and Ship Guarantee

The Program includes a service-based guarantee. If you complete the requirements specified on our sales page (attending 80% of live coaching calls, submitting your work for audit, and publishing at least one video per week from month 2 through month 6) and your channel is not producing real conversations at the end of month 6, we will continue providing coaching at no additional cost until your channel is producing. The Show Up and Ship Guarantee provides continued coaching, not a monetary refund. Customers who do not meet the participation requirements are not eligible.

6. Skool Access

Your Program access is delivered through Skool. You agree to use Skool in accordance with Skool's terms and our community guidelines. Sharing your Skool account credentials with non-enrolled individuals is prohibited and may result in termination of your access without refund.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Share Program materials, including videos, scripts, templates, AI prompts, or coaching call recordings, with any non-enrolled person
• Resell or redistribute any Program content
• Use Program content to create competing products or services
• Disrupt the private members community with abusive, harassing, spam, or off-topic behavior

Violation of these terms may result in suspension or termination of your access without refund.
