We may cancel or terminate your right to use the Site or any part of the Site at any time without notice. In the event of cancellation or termination, you are no longer authorized to access the part of the Site affected by such cancellation or termination. The restrictions imposed on you with respect to material downloaded from the Site, and the disclaimers and limitations of liabilities set forth in these Terms of Service, shall survive.
Order Acceptance and Cancellation. You agree that your order is an offer to buy all products and services listed in your order. All orders must be accepted by us or we will not be obligated to sell the products or services to you. We may choose not to accept orders at our sole discretion, even after we send you a confirmation email with your order information and details of the items you have ordered.
Prices and Payment Terms. All prices, discounts, and promotions posted on this Website are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a product or service will be the price in effect at the time the order is placed and may be set out in your order confirmation email. Subject to our right to increase the cost of subscription-based services (as noted in the Section entitled “Sale of Subscription Services” below), price increases will only apply to orders placed after such changes. Posted prices do not include taxes or charges for shipping and handling. All such taxes and charges (if applicable) will be added to your purchase total, and will be itemized in your shopping cart and in your order confirmation email. We strive to display accurate price information, however we may, on occasion, make inadvertent typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions related to pricing and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time and to cancel any orders arising from such occurrences. We may offer from time to time promotions on the Website that may affect pricing and that are governed by terms and conditions separate from these Terms of Sale. If there is a conflict between the terms for a promotion and these Terms of Sale, the promotion terms will govern. Terms of payment are within our sole discretion, and payment must be received by us in the manner specified on the Website before our acceptance of an order. If using a credit card, you represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you supply to us is true, correct and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use such credit card for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company, and (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including shipping and handling charges and all applicable taxes, if applicable, regardless of the amount quoted on the Website at the time of your order.
Sale of Goods. The Website may from time to time offer the sale of tangible products (“goods”) to you. We will arrange for shipment of goods to you. Please check the individual product page for specific delivery options. You will pay all shipping and handling charges specified during the ordering process. Shipping and handling charges are a reimbursement for the costs we incur in the processing, handling, packing, shipping, and delivery of your order. Title and risk of loss pass to you upon our transfer of the goods to the shipping carrier. Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. We are not liable for any delays in shipments. Unless a return policy for goods is posted on the Website at the time of your purchase, the sale of all goods on the Website is final and non-returnable. However, to the extent a return policy is posted on the Website at the time of your purchase, we will accept a return of any goods pursuant to such return policy. To return goods, you must email us at support@mikedillard.com before shipping your goods. No returns of any type will be accepted without first emailing us as specified above. You are responsible for all shipping and handling charges on returned goods. You bear the risk of loss during shipment. Your refund will be credited back to the same payment method used to make the original purchase on the Website. If you can show that a good shipped by us was in defective condition before being given over to the carrier for shipment to you, we will accept a return of the defective good and provide a replacement to you if available (or refund your purchase price if no replacement is available).
Sale of Subscription/Membership Services. The Website may from time to time offer optional subscription services (or subscription membership programs) for specified users (“Subscription Services”). By selecting a Subscription Service, you agree to pay us the subscription or usage fees indicated for that service on the Website. Payments for subscription services will be charged on the day your Subscription Service goes into effect and will cover the use of that service for the period indicated. Thereafter, you agree that monthly payments (or other periodic payments as specified on the Website at the time of purchase) will continue to be charged to your credit card on a recurring basis until you cancel your Subscription Service. The amount of the recurring charge will be the then-current subscription fee applicable to the Subscription Service you selected. You acknowledge that the amount of the recurring charge may increase if the applicable subscription fee increases. Subscription Services must be cancelled in writing (by email to support@mikedillard.com) at least thirty (30) days prior to your next recurring payment in order to avoid billing of the next Subscription Service recurring payment. Subscription Service fees are not prorated or refundable, unless expressly stated otherwise on the Website. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we reserve the right to either suspend or terminate your Subscription Services. Any such suspension or termination will result in the cancellation of any promotional programs applicable to your Subscription Services. You agree to submit any disputes regarding any charge to your account in writing (at the email address above) to us within sixty (60) days after such charge, otherwise such dispute is waived by you and such charge will be final and not subject to challenge.
Reporting Copyright Infringement. We take claims of copyright infringement seriously. We will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law. If you believe any materials accessible on or from the Website infringe your copyright, you may request removal of those materials (or access to them) from the Website by submitting written notification to our Copyright Agent (designated below). In accordance with the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) (“DMCA“), the written notice (the “DMCA Notice“) must include (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work you believe to have been infringed or, if the claim involves multiple works on the Website, a representative list of such works; (c) identification of the material you believe to be infringing in a sufficiently precise manner to allow us to locate that material; (d) adequate information by which we can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number and, if available, e-mail address); (e) a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; (f) a statement that the information in the written notice is accurate; and (g) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner. If you fail to comply with all of the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA, your DMCA Notice may not be effective. Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the Website is infringing your copyright, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.
Counter-Notification Procedures. If you believe that material you posted on the Website was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with us (a “Counter-Notice“) by submitting written notification to our Copyright Agent (identified below). Pursuant to the DMCA, the Counter-Notice must include (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) an identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access disabled; (c) adequate information by which we can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number and, if available, e-mail address); (d) a statement under penalty of perjury by you that you have a good faith belief that the material identified above was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; (e) a statement that you will consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if you reside outside the United States for any judicial district in which the Website may be found) and that you will accept service from the person (or an agent of that person) who provided the Website with the complaint at issue. The DMCA allows us to restore the removed content if the party filing the original DMCA Notice does not file a court action against you within ten business days of receiving the copy of your Counter-Notice. Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the Website was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of COMPANY and our respective assigns, successors, heirs, and legal representatives. Neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned without the prior written consent of COMPANY. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights and obligations under this Agreement may be freely assigned by COMPANY to any affiliated entity or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries.
These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and any dispute shall be subject to binding arbitration in Travis County, Texas. If any provision of this agreement shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations aren’t allowed.
The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless all relevant parties specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration.
If any clause within the Terms of Service (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from the Terms of Service, and the remainder of these Terms of Service will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the dispute will be decided by a court.
