At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless you cancel it or The Vision Board, LLC cancels it.

All customers with an active subscription will receive a notification via email (7) days prior to their renewal charge date. This email will specify when the renewal will happen and how much money will be charged. This email will also explain how to cancel the subscription prior to the upcoming renewal date by emailing our customer care team at service@artsintegration.com. Since we are notifying subscription holders of their upcoming renewal and offering a clear way to cancel prior to the renewal, no refunds will be provided for subscribers who fail to cancel their subscription prior to the renewal date.

FEES

In consideration of Your access to the Programs, you agree to pay the following fees.

For online conferences: you may choose between making a single payment of $149 for the conference individually through credit card (due immediately) or may select the use of a school purchase order (due within 30 days) to make payment of $149 on your behalf. If you select the school purchase order, an invoice will be issued based on the information you provide and that invoice must be paid within 30 days. If the invoice is not paid within 30 days, a 5% late fee will be assessed for each 30 days thereafter. In the event that any payment is not made, the Company shall immediately suspend your access to the conference.

For online certification: You may choose between a single payment of $2,250 for the interactive strand or $1,497 for the self-study strand (due immediately). You may also select the option to use 12 monthly payments of $199 for the interactive strand or 4 monthly payments of $399. With either strand, you will provide a $50 application fee for consideration of your participation in the program. That $50 fee will be applied as a credit to your initial payment should you be accepted. If you select the payment plan, you must pay the initial payment today and then your selected payment method will be automatically charged the following 11 payments (for interactive) or 3 payments (for self-paced) on a monthly basis, for a total payment of $2,388 (interactive) or $1596 (self-study). If you opt for monthly payments, you will remain responsible for those payments.

You are responsible for full payment of your tuition and may not cancel. We have the right to seek the collection of any unpaid fees, as well as a 10% early termination fee based on the total amount for the program. Your membership, or access to all content and all areas of the Site, will be suspended or canceled if we do not receive the fees for your program within 5 days of the payment due date and legal action will be pursued to collect the remaining funds due. In the event that any payment is not made, the Company shall immediately suspend your access to the Program and will proceed with legal action to collect the remaining amount due.

For online membership access: Membership fees are $225 paid annually. You may cancel your subscription at any time until the date of renewal by contacting us and requesting a cancellation. You will receive written notification that your membership will renew 7 days prior to renewal. If you do not request a cancellation prior to the renewal date, your membership will automatically renew for another year and no refund will be available.

If payments are not made on time, you agree to pay interest on all past-due sums at a rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is greater.
