If you have questions about this Agreement prior to registering, please contact us at support@soulfulceo.co.
1. Retreat Details
Company hosts in-person retreat experiences (each, a "Retreat") at various dates and locations announced at the time of purchase. Specific details regarding dates, location, programming, and investment will be outlined in the corresponding Retreat sales page, confirmation email, or program addendum, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
Retreats may include, but are not limited to:
Live coaching, hot seats, and mentorship with Company facilitators
Facilitation and leadership development sessions
Business strategy and mastermind experiences
Mindset and somatic practices, including breathwork
Community connection and peer learning.
2. Participant Expectations
To receive full value from the Retreat, Participant agrees to:
Show up prepared and engaged, ready to participate fully and honestly
Take personal responsibility for their experience, choices, and outcomes
Maintain a respectful, confidential, and supportive environment for all other Participants
Communicate directly with Company if something is not working, rather than disengaging
Participant understands that results from any Retreat are dependent on their own engagement, effort, and application of learning.
3. Travel and Logistics
Participant is solely responsible for all travel arrangements and transportation associated with attending any Retreat. Company is not responsible for travel disruptions, delays, lost luggage, injury during transit, or any other issues arising from Participant's travel.
Any food, beverages, or refreshments provided by Company are offered as a courtesy; Participant assumes full responsibility for their dietary choices and any resulting adverse reactions. Participant is responsible for disclosing any known allergies or dietary restrictions to Company in advance.
4. Confidentiality
Participant agrees to keep confidential all proprietary information shared by Company during the Retreat, including but not limited to: coaching methodologies, frameworks, exercises, curriculum, business strategies, and intellectual property. Participant also agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all personal information shared by fellow Participants in a group or peer coaching setting.
Confidential information may only be disclosed where required by law. Company may share Participant information with other coaching professionals for training, supervision, or professional development purposes, in accordance with applicable professional ethics standards.
A breach of this Section may result in immediate removal from the Retreat without refund, and may expose Participant to legal liability.
5. Photography, Video & Media
Retreats may be photographed or recorded by Company for promotional, training, and archival purposes. By attending, Participant grants Company a royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide license to use Participant's name, image, likeness, and voice as captured during the Retreat, in any medium and for any lawful purpose, including marketing and promotional use.
Other attendees may also capture photographs or video during the Retreat. Participant understands that Company cannot control what other attendees share and accepts this as an inherent aspect of attending an in-person event. Company is not liable for any media captured and distributed by third-party attendees.
If Participant voluntarily shares testimonials, social media posts, or photographs related to the Retreat, Participant grants Company the right to reshare and use that content for promotional purposes.
6. Release of Liability
Participant understands that all participation in the Retreat — including any physical, somatic, breathwork, or wellness activities — is entirely voluntary. Participant assumes full responsibility for their physical and emotional wellbeing throughout the Retreat.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in British Columbia, Participant releases, waives, and discharges Winning Academy Inc., its directors, officers, employees, contractors, facilitators, and agents (collectively, "Released Parties") from any and all claims, demands, damages, actions, or causes of action — whether known or unknown — arising from or related to Participant's attendance at or participation in the Retreat. This includes, without limitation, claims arising from the negligence of the Released Parties.
This release covers personal injury, illness, property damage, financial loss, and any other damages that may occur in connection with the Retreat. Participant acknowledges this is a significant waiver and has had the opportunity to seek independent legal advice before signing.
If Participant has any health condition, disability, injury, or is pregnant, they are advised to consult a qualified healthcare provider before attending and to notify Company in advance. By attending, Participant represents they are physically and emotionally capable of participating.
In the event Participant requires emergency medical attention, Participant consents to necessary treatment being arranged on their behalf and agrees that Company bears no financial responsibility for related costs.
7. Intellectual Property
All content, curriculum, frameworks, tools, methodologies, worksheets, recordings, and other materials created or presented by Company in connection with any Retreat are the sole intellectual property of Winning Academy Inc. and are protected under applicable Canadian copyright law.
Upon purchase, Participant is granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Retreat materials for their own personal and professional development. This license does not include the right to:
Copy, reproduce, distribute, or resell any materials
Teach, sublicense, or incorporate Company methodologies into their own programs without express written consent
Share materials with individuals who have not purchased the Retreat
Claim ownership of any process, framework, or tool belonging to Company
Participant may reference concepts learned at the Retreat in their own work, provided they give appropriate credit to Winning Academy Inc. / Soulful CEO and do not reproduce or substantially replicate proprietary materials.
Any breach of this Section may result in immediate removal from the Retreat without refund and legal action at Company's discretion.
8. Participant Conduct
Participant agrees to conduct themselves in a professional, respectful, and collaborative manner throughout the Retreat. Behaviour that Company deems disruptive, inappropriate, or harmful to the experience of other Participants may result in removal from the Retreat without refund, at Company's sole discretion.
Participant agrees not to actively solicit other Retreat Participants or members of Company's community for their own business purposes during or in connection with the Retreat. Other Participants are community members, not leads.
Where a concern about conduct arises, Company will generally provide one request for behaviour change before taking further action; however, Company reserves the right to remove a Participant immediately where circumstances warrant.
9. Payment
Investment amounts and payment options for each Retreat will be specified at the time of purchase. By completing payment, Participant agrees to all financial terms associated with their selected Retreat.
Payment is processed through a secure third-party payment provider. Participant's use of those services is subject to the payment provider's own terms and conditions.
10. Refund Policy
All Retreat purchases are final. Due to the limited-capacity, in-person nature of these events, Company is unable to offer refunds once a Participant has registered and paid, including in circumstances where Participant is unable to attend, changes their mind, or does not achieve expected results.
In the unlikely event that Company cancels a Retreat entirely and is unable to reschedule, Participants will be offered a full refund of amounts paid. Company's liability in such circumstances is limited solely to the refund of fees paid.
Company may, in its sole discretion, offer a credit toward a future Retreat in exceptional circumstances, but is under no obligation to do so.
11. Indemnification
Participant agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) Participant's participation in the Retreat; (b) Participant's breach of this Agreement; or (c) any third-party claim related to Participant's conduct at or in connection with the Retreat.
12. Disclaimer
Company is committed to delivering a high-quality experience; however, Company makes no guarantees regarding specific outcomes, results, revenue, or business growth arising from participation in any Retreat. Individual results vary and depend on many factors outside Company's control, including Participant's own effort and implementation.
Retreat content is provided for educational and professional development purposes only. Nothing in the Retreat constitutes legal, financial, medical, or therapeutic advice. Participants should consult qualified professionals for guidance in those areas.
While Company facilitators may hold professional designations, they are delivering coaching and training services only — not acting in any regulated professional capacity during the Retreat.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Company's total liability to Participant for any claim arising from or related to this Agreement or any Retreat shall not exceed the amount paid by Participant for the specific Retreat giving rise to the claim.
Company shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages, including lost profits or lost business opportunities, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
14. Privacy
Company collects and uses Participant personal information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Act (BC) (PIPA) and applicable Canadian privacy legislation. Personal information is collected for the purpose of administering the Retreat and Company's programs, and will not be sold or shared with third parties except as necessary to deliver the Retreat or as required by law.
Participant may contact Company at support@soulfulceo.co to access, correct, or request deletion of their personal information.
15. Dispute Resolution
In the event of a dispute arising from this Agreement or any Retreat, the parties agree to first attempt resolution through good-faith discussion. If a resolution cannot be reached informally within thirty (30) days, the dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration in British Columbia, in accordance with the Arbitration Act, SBC 2020, c. 2. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding.
Participant agrees that any claim must be brought within one (1) year of the event giving rise to the claim, after which all claims are waived.
Nothing in this Section prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction where necessary.
16. Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles.
17. Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
18. Entire Agreement
This Agreement, together with any applicable Retreat addenda or sales page terms, constitutes the entire agreement between Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter herein, and supersedes all prior discussions, representations, or agreements. No amendment to this Agreement is effective unless made in writing and signed by both parties.
By registering for and/or paying for a Retreat, Participant confirms they are at least 18 years of age, have read and understood this Agreement in its entirety, and agree to be bound by its terms.
BREATHWORK WAIVER
Winning Academy Inc. | Soulful CEO
Some Retreats offered by Company include optional breathwork sessions facilitated by trained practitioners ("Breathwork Sessions"). Breathwork is a guided, active breathing practice that may produce intense physical, energetic, and emotional responses. Participation is entirely voluntary.
Contraindications
Breathwork is NOT suitable for individuals who have, or have a family history of, any of the following conditions. If any of the below apply, do not participate without prior clearance from a qualified physician:
Cardiovascular conditions, including heart disease, angina, or history of heart attack
High blood pressure or hypertension
Glaucoma or retinal detachment

Seizure disorders
History of aneurysm (personal or family)

Use of major medications that affect consciousness or physical capacity
Current or recent significant physical illness, injury, or surgery
Pregnancy (consult your physician before participating)
Being under the influence of alcohol or any substance
Individuals with asthma should bring their prescribed inhaler and consult their physician before participating.
Assumption of Risk
Breathwork carries inherent risks including, but not limited to, lightheadedness, strong emotional release, temporary physical discomfort, and in rare cases, the possibility of a medical event. By electing to participate, Participant voluntarily assumes all such risks.
Participant is solely responsible for self-assessing their fitness to participate and for stopping participation immediately if any unusual symptoms arise. Company facilitators are not responsible for monitoring individual Participant health status during sessions.
Release
In consideration of being permitted to participate in Breathwork Sessions, Participant, on behalf of themselves and their heirs, executors, and assigns, hereby releases, waives, and forever discharges Winning Academy Inc., its directors, officers, employees, contractors, and facilitators from any and all claims, damages, losses, or causes of action — including those arising from negligence — related to Participant's participation in any Breathwork Session offered through a Company Retreat.
Participant confirms they have read and understood the contraindications listed above and certifies they have no known condition that would make Breathwork unsafe for them, or that they have consulted a physician and received clearance.
