Cheeky Scientist, LLC Association AGREEMENT

This Master E-Products Agreement (“Agreement“) is made and entered into as date of purchase by and between Cheeky Scientist, LLC (“Company“) and You (“Customer“). In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Services Provided. Company will provide Customer with an online mentoring program for the life of the program. The program includes weekly live meetings, or review of live meeting recordings, in Company’s virtual Mentorship Dashboard. Complete access to live meeting workbooks, forms and other documents are delivered immediately upon execution of this Agreement in the Mentorship Dashboard, including job search templates in Google Drive. Access to help from PhD mentors is immediately available in the private PhD Accountability Forum or one-on-one in Voxer, as well as in a series of private, live small group Zoom meetings focused on the Customer’s job search needs. Company’s mentors will strive to get back to any questions the Customer posts in the Forum or Voxer about the job search process within one to two business days and likely much sooner. Questions unrelated to the job search process may take longer. Company will help the Customer create a custom plan for their job search through additional programs, meetings and mentorship with the goal of helping the Customer update their resume, update their LinkedIn profile, get interviews and get job offers. Company will provide immediate access to a Member Directory with thousands of members, many working in industry so that Customer can actively network and work to get referrals. Company may introduce Customer to past members once the Customer’s resume, LinkedIn, networking and interviewing expertise, and overall professionalism meet the Company’s standards of excellence. Company does not procure, offer, or promise employment or engagements to Customer. Company does not contract with employers, match customers with employment opportunities, provide customers lists of employers or employment opportunities, and does not distribute lists of customers to employers. Company never provides direct referrals because Company does not contract with employers.
2. Participation of Customer. Company will work around the Customer’s schedule and at the Customer’s chosen pace, within reason, to help the Customer get into the industry job of their dreams and has provided a flexible process to ensure that this happens. The Customer’s engagement in the program is an important part of this process, including the Customer showing up to mentorship meetings and engaging with the material because, as examples, the Company cannot submit applications on behalf of the Customer or show up to interviews for the Customer. Company will work flexibly around the Customer’s schedule to help get their resume updated, to guide them on how to submit their application, perform well on interviews, and to get the job offer(s) they want. Customer can attend all live meetings or they can review the live meeting recordings within the same month of the meeting. Customer will complete the workbooks, forms and other documents reviewed during the live or recorded meetings and upload them in the form of files, images, PDFs, videos and other file types to the Customer’s Google Drive folder within the same month they are presented. Customer will work with their mentor to complete their job search strategy sheet with a targeted list of companies they would like to get hired at, as well as identifying networking contacts at each company. Customer will work with their mentor to get their resume updated to an industry format, will learn how to target each resume to each position and will apply consistently to job openings, storing the targeted resumes they submit and the job opening they apply to in the Customer’s Google Drive folder. Customer will participate regularly in the Accountability Forum on the Discourse platform with regular participation simply meaning posting questions or comments on a monthly basis. Mentorship advice given to the Customer through any of the Company’s communication channels should be responded to by Customer within a reasonable and timely manner to achieve full results.
3. Service Fee. In consideration of the Service to be provided hereunder, the Customer shall compensate Company the listed price of any program Customer purchases, minus any discounts or awards recorded during the transaction, and in addition to any bundles or add-ons recorded during the transaction (the “Service Fee”).
4. Lender Disclosure. Customer agrees to and understands that Company is not a bank, lender or financing company of any kind. Company encourages Customer to do their own research and due diligence into choosing the best financing option for any purchase of Company’s services. Customer understands that any loan they agree to has a balance and has interest as indicated by the third-party financing company. Customer agrees that they are responsible for reading and understanding the third-party financing company’s separate terms and conditions, truth-in-lending and other disclosures. Company has no affiliation with Affirm, PayPal or any other lender, nor does Affirm, PayPal or any other lender authorize any Company solicitation.
5. Location Disclosure. All calls, online meetings or virtual engagements of any kind with Cheeky Scientist or any Cheeky Scientist team members take place in Cheeky Scientist’s virtual offices, which are our normal place of business.
6. Refunds. Except as set forth in Section 8, Company does not offer refunds.
7. Guarantee. In the event the Customer participates in the program as set forth in Section 2, Customer attests to not having received a job offer within twelve months of starting the program, or within twelve months of Customer receiving the degree they were working toward as an enrolled student at the start of the program, whichever is longer (the “Guarantee Period”), and Customer pays the Service Fee in full or the amount owed over the Guarantee Period, Customer may request a refund of the Service Fee paid to date or additional help. Refunds are not given at any time for Customers who receive a job offer after enrolling regardless of conditions of the job offer or how soon they receive the offer after enrolling. Job offers are chosen by the Customer, not by the Company because only the Customer decides which jobs they apply to. Company will never apply to jobs on behalf of the customer.
8. Guarantee Review. All refund requests will initiate a review of the Customer’s participation, as set forth in Section 2, by three Company officers, or if there are not three Company officers at any time, then as many officers as there are. The panel of officers will be given 30 business days to review the Customer’s material and effort, and to make a decision on whether or not to provide a refund. Customer agrees to complete a notarized affidavit form to confirm that they did not receive a job offer in order to start the refund panel review process.
9. One-time purchase. This is a one-time purchase that allows for immediate, lifetime, access to Company’s mentors, forums, and other materials. This purchase is not for a recurring membership program, nor is it a recurring service of any kind.
10. Notification Requirement. Company and Customer share responsibility to the goal of getting the Customer hired. Company cannot help the Customer get hired if they disappear from contact and do not meet with their mentor or any Company representative for months at a time. To this end, the Customer must alert the Company in writing by registered mail six months before the end of Customer’s Guarantee Period to inform the Company that Customer still has not received a job offer. This written notification will activate an extra level of daily personal mentorship. A second written notice must be received by registered mail two months before the end of the Guarantee Period. This second notice will activate a second tier of additional personal mentorship daily to ensure the Customer gets a job offer. These written notices must be sent to 19211 Panama City Beach Pkwy #1047 Panama City Beach FL 32413-8712. Customer agrees that failing to provide the Company with written notice on or before the above timelines will result in no refund.
11. No Employment Guarantee. No verbal or written promise or guarantee of any job or employment is made or implied under the terms of this contract.
12. Term/Termination. This Agreement shall commence as the date first set forth above and shall remain in effect for a period of one (1) year.

13. Relationship of Parties. Company is an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between the Parties.

14.
