​​​​​IV . PAYMENT TERMS & CLIENT OBLIGATIONS

 

19. Program Fees

 

The Member agrees to pay GOLD the total Program Fee of ${total_cost} USD, structured as follows:

​

• Initial Down Payment: ${down_payment} USD (due upon execution of this Agreement); and
   

• Balance: Payable according to the following installment schedule: {payment_schedule}.
   

Each installment includes a $36 administration fee covering payment processing, member-account maintenance, and administrative support.

All payments are non-refundable, non-transferable, and non-cancelable. The Member acknowledges that GOLD delivers substantial front-loaded consulting value and intellectual property; therefore, the Program Fee is earned in full upon commencement of services.

 

​

20. Payment Method and Authorization

​

The Member authorizes GOLD and/or Divine Advance, LLC to process payments using the payment method selected at sign-up (including ACH, debit, credit card, or authorized third-party processor).  The Member agrees to maintain a valid funding source for the duration of this Agreement.  Declined transactions shall incur a $25 processing fee in addition to any applicable late charges.

 

​​​​

20.1 Payment Authorization, Auto-Renewal, and Account Update Requirements

​

The Member hereby grants Divine Advance, LLC (“Divine Advance”), the parent company and operator of the Gold Business Center brand (“GOLD”), full and irrevocable authorization to charge, debit, or withdraw payments from the bank account, credit card, debit card, ACH account, or any other payment method the Member provides and maintains on file with Divine Advance for all fees, services, renewals, and obligations under this Agreement.

​

The Member authorizes Divine Advance to:

​

1. Process recurring payments in accordance with the agreed payment schedule, and any subsequent renewals or upgrades, without additional written notice or consent;

2. Automatically renew the Member’s Program for an additional twelve-month term at the then-current renewal rate unless written cancellation is received before the renewal date;

3. Charge applicable renewal, processing, or administrative fees associated with maintaining the Member’s account; and

4. Continue billing the payment method on file even if the Member’s account or card number changes because of expiration, replacement, or upgrade, unless Divine Advance receives updated payment credentials or written cancellation.

 

While Divine Advance may send reminders as a courtesy, notice of upcoming charges or renewals is not required, and the absence of such notice does not release the Member from payment obligations.

 

The Member agrees to maintain current and accurate contact and payment information, including but not limited to mailing address, business address, phone number, email, authorized representative, and payment credentials. Failure to keep this information current may result in service suspension, administrative fees, or collection activity until the account is corrected.

 

This authorization remains in effect for the duration of this Agreement and all renewals and shall survive termination until all outstanding balances and obligations are satisfied in full.

​​

​

20.2 Privacy, Confidentiality, and Media Release Authorization

 

Divine Advance and its Gold Business Center brand respect the confidentiality of all Member communications, intellectual property, and private materials. All conversations, documents, strategies, and creative assets shared with Divine Advance are confidential and protected and will not be disclosed or reproduced without the Member’s written consent, except when required by law or valid subpoena issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.

​

However, the Member expressly acknowledges and agrees that any compliments, testimonials, recorded sessions, public statements of success, images, likenesses, voices, company names, logos, and comments shared during participation in Divine Advance or Gold Business Center programs may be recorded and used by Divine Advance.

​

By executing this Agreement, the Member grants Divine Advance, its successors, assigns, brands, and authorized representatives (including Gold Business Center and Ny’Acies Thomas “Ny’ Gold”) a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, and irrevocable license to record, reproduce, display, distribute, edit, and publish such content—including the Member’s voice, image, likeness, name, company name, logo, statements, and creative expressions—for purposes of marketing, promotion, advertising, media publication, or commercial use, in any medium now known or later developed, throughout the universe and in perpetuity.

​

This license is granted without compensation, approval, or further notice to the Member, and without limitation. The Member waives any right to royalties, credit, or inspection of finished materials and releases Divine Advance, its brands, officers, contractors, and affiliates from any and all liability related to such use or publication.

​

​

21. Late Payments and Default

​

1. Payments not received within one (1) calendar day of the due date are deemed late and subject to a $63 per-day late fee until paid in full.
    

2. Two (2) missed or returned payments trigger automatic suspension of VIP services, portal access, and project activity until the account is current.
    

3. Three (3) missed payments constitute a material breach, allowing GOLD to terminate this Agreement immediately and declare all remaining balances immediately due and payable.
    

4. Interest may accrue on unpaid balances at the lesser of 1.5 % per month or the maximum rate permitted by California law.
    

5. All payments must be made in U.S. dollars and are exclusive of applicable taxes or duties, which remain the Client’s responsibility.
    

 

22. Refund and Cancellation Policy

​

All sales are final. No refunds, chargebacks, reversals, or credits will be issued for any reason once the Client has executed this Agreement or accessed Program materials. By signing this contract, the Client expressly waives the right to initiate any dispute or chargeback with their financial institution, card issuer, or payment processor. In the event of a disputed charge, the Client agrees that this Agreement shall serve as proof of authorized payment and binding consent.

 

​

23. Administrative and Collection Rights

​

If the Member fails to remit payment as agreed, GOLD may, without notice:

​

1. Assign, sell, or transfer the outstanding balance to a licensed collection agency;
    

2. Report delinquency to consumer and/or business credit bureaus;
    

3. Recover reasonable attorney’s fees, collection costs, and court costs incurred in enforcing this Agreement; and
    

4. Pursue any other remedies available under California law.
    

The Mebmer shall be responsible for all costs of enforcement, including arbitration fees and post-judgment collection expenses.

 

​

24. Payment Acceleration and Account Closure

​

Upon termination for non-payment or breach, GOLD may accelerate all unpaid installments, rendering the full Program Fee immediately due. GOLD will provide a final invoice reflecting the balance owed.  Failure to pay within ten (10) business days of invoice date permits GOLD to send the account to collections and seek legal remedies without further notice.

 

​

25. Member Responsibilities and Obligations

​

The Member agrees to:

​

• Adhere to all payment deadlines and financial obligations outlined herein;
   

• Communicate promptly regarding any anticipated delays or financial difficulties;
   

• Remain actively engaged in scheduled sessions and assignments; and
   

• Uphold all standards of professional conduct and confidentiality required by the Program.
   

Failure to comply with these obligations constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.

 

​

26. Reinstatement of Services

​

If the Member’s account is suspended for non-payment or policy violation, reinstatement is subject to:

​

1. Full payment of the outstanding balance and all accrued fees; and
    

2. A $300 reactivation fee to reopen the Member’s Gold Plan™ file and restore access to systems.
   Reinstatement requests must be made within six (6) months of termination; after that period, GOLD has no obligation to retain records or materials.

 

 

27. Acknowledgment of Value and Commitment

​

The Member acknowledges that participation in this Program requires discipline, engagement, and financial commitment. The Member further acknowledges that failure to complete the Program or implement advice does not entitle them to any refund or credit. By executing this Agreement, the Member affirms full understanding of their financial and contractual responsibilities to GOLD and Divine Advance, LLC.

 

​​

​

​

​

31.3 No Endorsement or Liability

​

The inclusion of a Third-Party link, product, or service within GOLD’s materials or communications does not constitute an endorsement, sponsorship, or guarantee by GOLD or Divine Advance LLC.

All dealings between the Member and Third Parties are strictly between those parties.

In such cases, deadlines and performance obligations shall be equitably extended for the duration of the disruption.
 

​

​

​

43. Immediate Termination Rights

​

GOLD reserves the absolute right, at its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement immediately and without prior notice or refund if, in GOLD’s good-faith judgment, the Member engages in any conduct that undermines the integrity, safety, or reputation of the Program or Company, or otherwise breaches any material term of this Agreement. Termination may occur for, but is not limited to, the following reasons:

​​

​

​

43.1 Non-Communication or Inactivity

​

• Failure to respond to GOLD’s communications (email, phone, text, or platform message) for thirty (30) consecutive calendar days;

• Failure to schedule, attend, or participate in any required sessions, check-ins, or assignments for forty-five (45) consecutive calendar days; or

• Maintaining active payments while making no reasonable effort to engage in services, which may be deemed non-participation, abandonment, or potential fraud.

​

• Repeated lateness to scheduled meetings or a pattern of last-minute cancellations (“no-shows”);

• Failure to complete assigned tasks, forms, or deliverables necessary for the continuation of the Program; or

​

​

43.3 Payment and Financial Violations

• Use of a payment method that does not belong to the Member or is suspected to be unauthorized or fraudulent; or

​

​

• Dishonesty, misrepresentation, or falsification of information, including identity, credit, or financial data;

• Breach of confidentiality, non-disparagement, or intellectual-property provisions; or

​

​

43.5 Fraud or Suspicious Activity

​

• Evidence of identity theft, unauthorized account use, payment manipulation, or any conduct that may constitute civil or criminal fraud; or

• Patterns of behavior suggesting that services are being accessed for resale, reverse engineering, or exploitation of GOLD’s proprietary systems or intellectual property.

 

​

​

43.6 Effect of Termination for Cause

 

Upon any such termination:

​

1. All rights and access of the Member to GOLD platforms, meetings, systems, or resources shall immediately cease;

2. The Member shall remain responsible for all fees, balances, and obligations accrued up to the termination date;

3. In accordance with Section 43A (Payment Acceleration Upon Termination for Cause), the entire remaining Program Fee shall become immediately due and payable in full as liquidated damages for GOLD’s time, resources, and proprietary systems reserved for the Member;

4. GOLD may issue a final invoice for all completed work and deliverables up to the termination date; and

5. At GOLD’s discretion, a copy of the Member’s Gold Plan™ or relevant deliverables may be provided for recordkeeping purposes. Plans and related data will be archived for six (6) months and may be reactivated only upon written approval and payment of all outstanding balances plus a $300 storage and reinstatement fee.

​

​​​

​

43.7 Payment Acceleration Upon Termination for Cause

​

If GOLD terminates this Agreement under Section 43 (“Immediate Termination Rights”) for any violation, non-performance, non-communication, unethical conduct, or suspected fraud, the entire remaining Program Fee becomes immediately due and payable in full as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.

 

The Member acknowledges and agrees that:

​

1. The Program Fee represents the total value of GOLD’s proprietary systems, front-loaded consulting resources, reserved time, and administrative expenses that are incurred upon enrollment;

2. Termination for cause does not release the Member from any outstanding financial obligations;

​​

​

44. Post-Termination Duties

Upon termination or expiration, the Client shall:

​

• Cease using all GOLD platforms, log-ins, and materials;
   

• Return or delete any confidential or proprietary information received; and
   

• Pay all outstanding balances within ten (10) business days of the final invoice.
   

Any continuing access or use after termination constitutes unauthorized use of GOLD’s intellectual property and may result in legal action.

 

​

45. Acceleration and Collection Enforcement

​

If termination occurs due to non-payment or breach, GOLD may accelerate all unpaid installments, rendering the entire Program Fee immediately due. The Member shall be responsible for attorney’s fees, arbitration costs, and collection expenses incurred in enforcement. GOLD retains all remedies available under California law.

 

​

46. Survival of Rights
