1. Legal Agreement  

Your use of this Website is governed by the terms and conditions discussed below including any documents or policies they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, these “Terms”) governing access to and use of Debra Alfarone Media, LLC’s coaching services, including any activities provided through the Website, mobile applications, newsletters, and other services (collectively the “Services”) offered on or through the Website whether as a visitor, customer, guest, a registered account user, or other user. This means that by using the Website and the Services, you are agreeing to these Terms of Service, which results in a legal agreement between you and Debra Alfarone Media. If you do not agree to the Terms of Service, please do not access or use our Services through this Website.

Terms such as “Debra Alfarone Media,” “us,” “we,” “our,” or “it” refer to Debra Alfarone Media, LLC. “You,” “your,” “user,” and similar terms means you, the individual accessing the Website or participating in the Services, as well as any other person or business on whose behalf you may be using the Website or who may have rights through you.
