The Program and all activities, advice and recommendations relating to the Program, are not psychotherapy or any western medical program/treatment/advice and are not a substitute for physical or mental healthcare.

You are advised to consult the health care professional of your choice regarding all matters concerning your health. In addition, if you are seeing a psychiatrist or psychologist, or other mental health professional, you are being prescribed medication for a psychiatric or psychological condition, you have been diagnosed with a psychiatric or psychological condition, you are suffering from any mental disease, you are suffering or experiencing self-harm or suicidal thoughts, or you think you may have psychiatric or psychological condition, then your admission to and participation in any of the services or activities provided by MEI and its representatives in connection with the Program, whether personal one- on-one treatments, individual calls, group calls, video series or live lecture series, volunteering, and any and all other forms of participation related to the Program, require written approval of your medical doctor in order for you to be allowed to participate.

Fees for all services of MEI are subject to change. Refunds are at the discretion of MEI. Membership renewals for the Energy for Success courses are processed every 30 days from date of purchase and renewals are automatic unless cancelled by subscriber online.

Right to Use Your Voice and Likeness

For good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, by your submission of this form and participation in the Program, you hereby agree that, in connection with your participation in the Program, MEI and its subsidiaries, affiliated entities, successors, licensees and assigns may tape and photograph you, and record you voice and sounds, and that MEI shall be the exclusive owner of the results and proceeds of such taping, photography and recording with the right, throughout the universe, an unlimited number of times in perpetuity, to copyright, to use all or any portion thereof and your name, image, voice and likeness in connection with audio-visual productions and marketing, advertising, merchandising and any other exploitation thereof, in any and all media now known or hereafter devised without any compensation to you other than the express consideration and promises specifically set forth in these Terms.

Assumption of Risk

YOU EXPRESSLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY ASSUME ALL RISK OF DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF YOUR PROPERTY OR LACK OF EXPECTATION OF PERFORMANCE SUSTAINED WHILE PARTICIPATING IN ANY AND ALL ACTIVITIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO TRAVEL) RELATED TO THE PROGRAM WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY A NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMMISSION BY MEI OR ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES. THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED OR OTHERWISE.

Liability Release

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you hereby release MEI and any and all of its affiliated and subsidiary companies and service providers, and their respective successors and assigns, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives of any of the foregoing and their respective successors and assigns (hereinafter collectively the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities, losses, attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses of any kind, arising out of, resulting from, or by reason of, any tort, contract, or statutory cause of action related to your participation in or in connection with the Program, including, without limitation, any travel you may undertake in connection with your participation in any activities related to the Program, and any advice or recommendations you receive in connection with the Program, based on any legal theory whatsoever (including but not limited to rights of privacy and publicity, false light, defamation and personal injury or property damage claims). To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and your next of kin, estate, heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns will not assert any claim against any of the Released Parties in connection with any injury, illness, emotional distress, loss or harm to you or your property, including your death, howsoever caused, resulting from or arising out of your participation in any activities related to the Program, whether occurring before, during or after your participation in such activities. You agree that in the event of any dispute between MEI and you regarding this release, my remedy will be limited to money damages, if any, and I hereby waive my right to enjoin, restrain or otherwise interfere with the production, distribution or other exploitation by MEI of any audio-visual production or other materials in which I may appear.

Full and Complete Release – Notice Pursuant to California Law

California law requires that an individual executing a full and complete release be provided with the following information governing express waivers for that release to be valid. The following waiver is hereby provided: Section 1542 of the California Civil Code reads as follows:

“General Release – Claims Extinguished- A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his [her] favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him [her] must have materially affected his [her] settlement with the debtor.”

Thus, notwithstanding the provisions of 1542, and for the express purpose of implementing a full and complete release, you expressly waive and relinquish all rights under Civil Code 1542.

Validity of Waiver/Parties Bound By Terms

You understand that if you institute, or anyone on your behalf institutes, any suit or action at law or any claim for damages or cause of action against the Released Parties due to injury to your person or property, or your death, due to your participation in activities related to the Program, these Terms can and will be used as conclusive evidence of your fully informed “covenant not to sue” the Released Parties, and it is your full intent and desire that this waiver be given full force and effect to prevent any litigation brought by your next of kin, estate, heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns who may attempt to bring suit against the Released Parties. You have freely relinquished your right to sue and thus your next of kin, estate, heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns shall be equally bound in law and equity by this covenant not to sue. It is your understanding and intent that these Terms will be binding not only on you, but will also be binding on all other persons or entities including your next of kin, estate, executors, heirs, executors, administrators or other successors and assigns who may initiate any suit, action, claim or other proceeding arising out of your participation in any and all activities related to the Program, whether or not such injuries, damages or losses are caused by negligent acts or omissions of any Released Party.

Applicable Law: Mediation and Arbitration

These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts of law provisions. You acknowledge and agree that any and all disputes arising out of these Terms, or your participation in activities related to the Program, will be resolved via non-binding mediation in Los Angeles County, State of California through a professional mediator selected by MEI. If the applicable dispute is not successfully resolved through mediation, the dispute shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and the arbitration proceedings shall take place in Los Angeles County, State of California in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 15 of the Website Terms of Use (as defined below) attached hereto as Exhibit A.

13. APPLICABLE LAW AND DISPUTES

Please Read This Following Clause Carefully – It May Significantly Affect Your Legal Rights, Including Your Right to File a Lawsuit in Court

  1. Initial Dispute Resolution. We are available by email at admin@energyforsuccess.org to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the Website. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. Each of you and MEI agree to use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
  2. Agreement to Binding Arbitration. If we do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to Section 15(A) above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration. All claims arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use (including its formation, performance and breach) and/or your use of the Website shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered on a confidential basis by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in accordance with the provisions of the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Use, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The interpretation and enforcement of these Terms of Use shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act.

The AAA’s rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1.800.778.7879. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, we will pay the additional cost. A request for payment of fees should be submitted to AAA along with your form for initiating the arbitration, and we will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to AAA. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain circumstances.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

  • Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver. You and MEI each further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in your respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and you and MEI each expressly waive your respective right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above in Section 15(B) shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
  • Exception – Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
  • 30 Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in Sections 15(B), 15(C), and 15(D) by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: The Morguelan Energy Institute, 500 N. Garfield Avenue, #307, Monterery Park, CA 91754 or by email to admin@energyforsuccess.org. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of registering to use the Website, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those sections. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.
  • Exclusive Venue for Litigation. To the extent that the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 15(B) do not apply, the parties agree that any litigation between them shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, State of California (except for small claims court actions which may be brought in the county where you reside). The parties expressly consent to exclusive jurisdiction in Los Angeles County, State of California for any litigation other than small claims court actions.
  • Applicable Law. You agree that federal laws and the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms of Use and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and MEI.
  • ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS. When you visit the Website or send e-mails to us, you are communicating with us electronically. You consent to receive communications from us electronically. We will communicate with you by e-mail or by posting notices on the Website. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
  • CHANGES TO THE WEBSITE. We may discontinue the Website at any time and for any reason, without notice. We may change the contents, operation, or features of the Website at any time for any reason, without notice.
  • INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and us as a result of these Terms of Use or your use of the Website.
  • COMPLIANCE OBLIGATIONS. Nothing contained in these Terms of Use is in derogation of our right to comply with governmental, court, and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Website or information provided to or gathered by us with respect to such use. A printed version of these Terms of Use and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms of Use to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
