Emagene Terms & Conditions

1. INTRODUCTION

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") form a binding legal agreement between you ("the Member") and the administrators of the Program ("the Program," "we," "us," or "our"). By enrolling in the Program, submitting payment, or participating in any Program activities, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms set forth herein.

The Program is designed to provide educational support, structured guidance, functional medicine resources, mentorship, community engagement, and access to partner-related discounts applied on certain courses offered by Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM). The Program does not replace formal medical education, accredited training, or certification pathways such as those offered by the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM). The Program is not affiliated with or endorsed by IFM. It serves solely as a supplemental support community assisting Members throughout their learning journey.

2. PROGRAM DURATION, FEES & PAYMENT TERMS

The Program is offered as either a six-month or twelve-month membership. All fees are stated in U.S. Dollars (USD) and must be paid in full prior to access. Fee Structure:

• Six-Month Program: USD 899 (Early Bird) or USD 999 (Standard)
• Twelve-Month Program: USD 1,499 (Early Bird) or USD 1,699 (Standard)

Enrollment is confirmed only upon receipt of full payment. The Member understands that partial payments, deposits, installment plans, or deferred payments are not permissible.

All payments are final and non-refundable, except under the limited circumstances described in Section 7. Submission of payment signifies your acceptance of these Terms and your understanding that no reversal of payment will be granted on the basis of non-participation, dissatisfaction, schedule conflicts, or any reason other than those expressly covered under the credit consideration policy.

3. EARLY BIRD DEFINITION & ELIGIBILITY

Early Bird pricing is a privilege extended to Members who complete and submit full payment before the Program's official start date.

Program Start Dates:

• The next twelve-month term begins on 1 January of each year.

To qualify for Early Bird pricing, Members must ensure that the Program has received full payment prior to 00:00 (local Program administration time- MST) on the respective start date. Any payment submitted on the start date or thereafter will automatically default to Standard pricing without exception or appeal.

Early Bird pricing is not guaranteed and may be withdrawn or modified at the discretion of the Program. Enrollment at Early Bird rates does not entitle Members to priority access, additional benefits, or preferential treatment beyond the discounted financial rate.
