Payment

The Super Early Bird price for 2024 is $4,500 or as low as eight (8) monthly installments of $625 and is available to those who enroll between now and January 31, 2023. The Early Bird price for 2024 is $4,900 or as low as six (6) monthly installments of $900 and is available to those who enroll between February 1, 2024 and March 31, 2024. Those enrolling between April 1 - April 31, 2024 are directed to the Regular Price of $5,500 or four (4) monthly installments of $1,500. If you enroll once the promotion period is over, there will be no extensions.

When you choose the installment plan, payments will be charged on the same date every month. For example if you purchase on December 15th, then your payments will be automatically taken on January 15th, February 15th, and so on.

If you’re unable to make a payment please let us know at tcc@faceyogamethod.com before the due date as missed payments can affect your eligibility to continue in the course.

Failure to comply with agreed-upon monthly payment deadlines will result in immediate revocation from the Teacher Training course, revocation from the Teacher Certification Facebook group, and you will no longer receive relevant emails concerning the course.
 
Note that after three (3) consecutive months of failed payments, students must pay for the remaining Course balance in-full before regaining access to the Course material(s). 

If the billing address you provided us is in the United States, all payments will be charged and made in U.S. dollars. If the billing address you provided us is outside the United States or any of its possessions or territories, all payments will be charged and made in your local currency. The exchange rate will be dependent on your local bank's rate and may or may not include additional fees subject to your bank's conditions.
These charges are for the Teacher Certification Course only. This will not give you access to any other of our products nor is the fee transferrable for any reason.
 
Refunds

Once payment has been made we have a 15-day refund policy in place, from the date of purchase. If on a one-time payment plan, the entirety of the sum will be refunded. If on an installment plan, the entirety of the first month’s sum will be refunded. Under no circumstances will a refund be granted after the 15-day period from the date of initial payment. Once refunded, all access to both the Teacher Training website and relevant groups will be revoked. These charges are for the Teacher Certification Course only. 
In the unforeseen event that the Face Yoga Method cancels a Course, all payments will be refunded in full.
If a currency-converted payment is refunded, the amount initially received is converted back to the presentment currency at the current rate. This fluctuates on a daily basis, so the rate used when a charge is converted often differs from the rate used when a refund occurs. The returned amount once converted into your currency can be less—or more—than the payment provided.
Ultimately, you as a customer, are always refunded the exact amount you paid and in the currency you paid in.  
 
Course Commencement

During the registration process for Registered Users, we will give you access to an account, which includes a unique username (“Username”), a password (“Password”), and perhaps certain additional information that will assist in authenticating your identity when you log-in in the future (“Unique Identifiers”). When creating your account, you must provide true, accurate, current, and complete information. Each Username and corresponding Password can be used by only one Registered User, and sharing your access credentials with others (especially if they are using your credentials to access our proprietary Content (as defined below) is a material breach of this Agreement. You are solely responsible for the confidentiality and use of your Username, Password, and Unique Identifiers, as well as for any use, misuse, or communications entered through the Websites using one or more of them. You will promptly inform us of any need to deactivate a Password or Username, or change any Unique Identifier. We reserve the right to delete or change your Password, Username, or Unique Identifier at any time and for any reason and shall have no liability to you for any loss or damage caused by such action.

We reserve the right to refuse service, terminate accounts or cancel orders if we feel that these conditions are not met and there is evidence of shared use.

There will be several assignments to complete for each of the Modules, all of which will be given a deadline for submission. The deadlines are there to keep you on track with your learning. We want to make sure that once you begin you keep the momentum. The deadlines will also allow time for Fumiko and/or a TCC Coach to provide personal feedback. Obligatory Assignments that have not been completed by the specified final date will delay your ability to complete the Final Assessment* with your Coach and thus, we won’t be able to ensure you will be certified with the current class. I.e. your Face Yoga Method certification could be delayed until the next certification period.

*All students are provided with the opportunity to complete their assignments and take their final assessment to become a Certified Face Yoga Method Teacher within two courses. If you wish to postpone your certification in 2024, you are given the opportunity to complete your certification in 2025 by paying a deferral fee. Please refer to the following section for details on associated terms and fees related to certification postponement.
Course Access and Completion

All May 2024 students are given access to the Course until December 31, 2025. Final Assessments are scheduled for the end of November 2024. All Obligatory Assignments need to be completed, by the specified deadlines, in order to schedule a Final Assessment with a TCC Coach. Please note that the course must be paid in full in order to schedule a Final Assessment with a TCC Coach. Failure to complete some or all of the Assignments by the specified final date will result in a Final Assessment Postponement. To be able to proceed with this option, students are required to pay a flat fee of $500. Those postponing their Final Assessment and paying for this one-time payment fee will have access to the course for an additional year, until December 31, 2026.Important: Please note that students are allowed to postpone their Final Assessment only once. If they wish to postpone a second time, they will be required to enroll in the course again and pay the entire course fees once more.

In the event that a student fails the Final Assessment, they are prohibited from teaching Face Yoga to others, advertising any classes, or claiming certification from the Face Yoga Method LLC.
Passing the Final Assessment results in official certification as a Face Yoga Teacher, enabling graduates to teach Face Yoga and conduct their own classes. However, this certification does not permit Teacher Certification Course Graduates to certify others.

Reproducing or copying any content from the Face Yoga Method Programs is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, written materials, instructional designs, and program layouts. Graduates of the Teacher Certification Course are not permitted to create, distribute, or offer any products or services that directly replicate the content, methodologies or structure taught in the Face Yoga Method Programs, whether partially or in their entirety.

While graduates are allowed to incorporate "Face Yoga" into their business or company name, the use of "Face Yoga Method" in any form is strictly prohibited, including as part of business names, program titles, or marketing materials. Graduates are encouraged to develop their own unique Face Yoga programs and incorporate the Face Yoga Method poses into their teachings. However, it is essential to maintain the precise pose names as provided in the Face Yoga Method Programs, with the only exception being the translation of these names into other languages, which is permitted.

Workshop Guidelines

Fumiko or a TCC Coach will hold live workshops to help you along your Certification Journey. In order to keep them within the allotted time we have a set of guidelines that we ask you to follow for all live webinars;
* Be sure to review the relevant or corresponding Module videos first as they provide a lot of information.
* Make sure questions are relevant to the topic Fumiko or a TCC Coach is going over.
* Each student is limited to 4 questions per webinar in order to give everyone an opportunity to ask questions.
* Please be thoughtful with your questions and make sure they will benefit everyone.
* If the question is personal, please submit a support ticket via email.
* We encourage students to submit their workshop questions before the event to ensure that they are answered during the live workshop by writing the question to tcc@faceyogamethod.com up to 24 hours before the event. If for any given workshop we go over the allotted time, these questions will have priority.
Face Yoga Method

Under no circumstances will you be able to use the Face Yoga Method logo or any of our material unless Face Yoga Method explicitly allows redistribution.
