Guide Certification Payment Plan Policy (Year One)

The StoryBrand Guide Certification Payment Plan allows the incoming Guide to pay for their Certification in four (4) monthly payments of $3,000 USD and does not require the full payment equaling $12,000 USD to be received prior to the training. An initial deposit of $3,000 USD is due to confirm a seat in training and the remaining balance will be processed over the following three consecutive months, based on the date of the initial deposit. (For example: if Payment 1 is made on August 22, Payments 2-4 will automatically process on September 22, October 22 and November 22).

If the Certified Guide opts into the 4-part payment plan to pay for their first year of Certification, Guide will be given access to a payment dashboard which will enable them to make updates to their credit card on file, pay off the remaining balance sooner or rectify past due payments.

Past-due payments will incur late fees, if not resolved in a timely manner. Late fees will be applied as follows:

If a scheduled payment fails one time, Guide will be notified via email. No late fee will be applied at this time. The system will automatically attempt to charge the card again 72 hours later.
If a scheduled payment fails a second time, Guide will be notified via email and a $50 USD late fee will be added to the total payment due. Guide can either log into their payment dashboard to process the payment manually or otherwise have the system automatically attempt to charge the card again 72 hours later, with the late fee added to the total balance owed (now totaling $3,050 USD).
If a scheduled payment fails a third time, Guide will be notified via email and another $50 USD late fee will be added to the total payment due (not a total of $100 USD in late fees). Guide can either log into the payment dashboard to process the payment manually or otherwise have the system automatically attempt to charge the card again 72 hours later, with the additional late fee added to the total balance owed (now totaling $3,100 USD).
If a scheduled payment fails a fourth and final time, Guide forfeits their seat in the upcoming training or if already certified at that point, the certification license associated with this payment is deactivated and Guide loses access to all tools and resources associated with their certification. To reconfirm a seat in training, Guide needs to log into the payment dashboard to pay the remaining balance in full. If the Guide has already completed training and needs to reactivate their certification license, a $1500 USD reactivation fee will be applied and Guide will have to pay for the remainder of their balance in full.

If a Certified Guide would like to cancel their Facilitator certification after the first six (6) months, they must provide written notice to certified@storybrand.com with their intent not to renew their Facilitator certification with at least thirty (30) days notice. No refunds on any prior payments towards this additional certification will be given for this program.

StoryBrand may terminate training, any service, license, or any privilege without cause, but in doing so, would offer a refund equal to the first six (6) months payment amount ($7,500) if termination occurs within one year of the certification date. If termination without cause occurs anytime after the first year of the certification date, StoryBrand would offer a refund equal to six (6) months payment amount ($7,500) or equal to the latest year to date payments received if less than $7,500. Termination without cause refunds will be made within thirty (30) days from the date Guide is notified via email of their termination.

Agency Certification Cancellation Policy

StoryBrand Certified Guide understands that there are no refunds offered once the Agency Certification training has started. Upon completion of the Agency Certification training, the Agency Certification shall automatically renew on a month-to-month basis unless StoryBrand Certified Guide provides written notice to StoryBrand at certified@storybrand.com with their intent not to renew their Agency certification with at least thirty (30) days notice. No refunds on any prior payments towards this additional certification will be given for this program.

If the StoryBrand Certified Guide would like to reactivate a canceled Agency Certification, they may submit a request to reactivate to the Director of the StoryBrand Certification program at certified@storybrand.com.
