VBA Bookings — Terms of Service
Venture Beyond Aspirations (VBA)
Website: meet.vbaspire.com
Effective Date: October 12, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to VBA Bookings, operated by Venture Beyond Aspirations ("VBA," "we," "our," or "us").
By requesting, booking, purchasing, or attending a meeting through VBA Bookings, you agree to these Terms of Service and any applicable cancellation and refund policies.
Please review these terms before completing a booking.
2. Services Provided
VBA Bookings provides online scheduling for approved VBA meetings, consultations, and professional services.
Paid offerings may include Executive Advisory sessions involving business strategy, technology consulting, operational planning, entrepreneurship, and professional guidance.
The length, price, format, and scope of each consultation are identified during booking.
Unless separately agreed in writing, consultation fees cover only the scheduled session. Additional work, implementation, documentation, deliverables, research, or ongoing support are not included.
VBA may invite qualified company personnel to participate when additional expertise is appropriate.
3. Booking and Confirmation
All appointments are subject to availability.
Certain appointments require administrative approval before payment.
For paid services, a booking is confirmed only after the required payment has been successfully processed and VBA issues an appointment confirmation.
Submitting an appointment request does not guarantee acceptance or reserve a confirmed appointment.
VBA reserves the right to decline requests outside its service scope, subject to applicable law.
4. Payments
Payment for paid consultations is required in full before the appointment is confirmed.
Payments are processed through Stripe or another authorized VBA payment provider.
Prices are displayed before checkout, including applicable discounts and any required additional charges.
Customers authorize payment of the displayed total when completing checkout.
Paid Executive Advisory bookings are nonrefundable for customer-initiated cancellations, late arrivals, missed appointments, and changes of plans, except as expressly provided in the Refund & Cancellation Policy or required by law.
5. Appointment Punctuality
Customers are responsible for attending appointments at the confirmed date and time.
Appointments begin and end according to the originally scheduled time.
Customers arriving late will not receive an automatic extension.
VBA may classify an appointment as a no-show when the customer has not joined within 15 minutes after the scheduled start time.
Late arrivals and no-shows do not qualify for refunds, partial refunds, complimentary replacement sessions, or automatic credits.
6. Rescheduling and Cancellations
Customers may request one complimentary reschedule when the request is submitted at least 24 hours before the scheduled appointment.
Rescheduling is subject to available appointment times and the requirements of the Refund & Cancellation Policy.
Requests submitted less than 24 hours before an appointment are not eligible for complimentary rescheduling.
Customer-initiated cancellations do not qualify for refunds, except where required by law.
Customers are responsible for reviewing the appointment date, time, and displayed time zone before confirming their reservation.
7. Technical Requirements
For virtual appointments, customers must have suitable internet access, a functioning device, and the ability to access the designated meeting platform.
Customers are responsible for testing their equipment and meeting access before the appointment.
Delays or missed sessions caused by a customer's device, internet connection, or inability to access the meeting platform do not automatically qualify for refunds or rescheduling.
Verified technical failures attributable to VBA or its meeting systems will be reviewed under the Refund & Cancellation Policy.
8. Professional Advisory Disclaimer
Executive Advisory provides professional business perspectives, strategic guidance, and recommendations based on the information available during the consultation.
VBA does not guarantee specific business outcomes, financial results, growth, profitability, or project success.
Customers retain responsibility for their own business decisions and implementation of recommendations.
Unless expressly agreed in a separate written engagement, Executive Advisory does not constitute legal, tax, investment, accounting, or other regulated professional advice.
9. Customer Responsibilities
Customers agree to provide accurate booking information, participate professionally, and use VBA's services lawfully.
Abusive, threatening, discriminatory, harassing, or otherwise inappropriate conduct may result in termination of the session.
Where a session is terminated due to a customer's material misconduct, fees will remain nonrefundable to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Customers may not record or distribute a consultation without the prior written consent of all participants.
10. Confidentiality and Information Sharing
VBA will exercise reasonable care when handling business information shared during consultations.
Customers should avoid sharing unnecessary passwords, financial account credentials, regulated personal information, or other highly sensitive materials.
Consultations are not automatically subject to a separate nondisclosure agreement. Customers requiring additional confidentiality protections should request a written agreement before the consultation.
Booking and customer information will be handled according to VBA's applicable Privacy Policy.
11. Intellectual Property
VBA retains ownership of its preexisting methodologies, proprietary materials, templates, frameworks, and intellectual property.
Customers may use general guidance received during a consultation for their own lawful business purposes.
Consultation fees do not automatically grant ownership of VBA intellectual property or deliverables not expressly included in the purchased service.
12. Employee and Guest Discounts
Eligible VBA employees may receive discounts under VBA's Employee Services Discount & Guest Benefit Policy.
Executive Advisory discounts are limited to two discounted consultations per eligible employee per calendar year.
Employees may use these discounts personally or designate friends or family members as recipients.
A discounted consultation counts toward the sponsoring employee's allowance according to the applicable benefit policy, including when the recipient cancels late or does not attend.
Discount misuse may result in cancellation of discount eligibility, subject to applicable law and company policy.
13. VBA-Initiated Cancellations
If VBA cannot provide a confirmed consultation due to company unavailability or a service failure attributable to VBA, the customer may choose an available replacement appointment or a refund of the affected consultation fee.
This provision does not limit any additional remedies required by applicable law.
14. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, VBA will not be responsible for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses arising from reliance on general consultation recommendations.
To the extent legally permitted, VBA's aggregate contractual liability for a particular consultation will not exceed the amount paid for that consultation.
These limitations do not apply where prohibited by law, including to liability that cannot legally be excluded.
15. Applicable Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, except where applicable consumer-protection or other mandatory laws require otherwise.
Customers are encouraged to contact VBA to address service or billing concerns before escalating a dispute.
Nothing in these Terms limits nonwaivable consumer rights or legally available payment-dispute remedies.
16. Changes to Terms
VBA may update these Terms of Service periodically.
Material changes will be published on the booking website.
The terms accepted at the time of purchase will govern that purchase unless changes are required by law or separately agreed.
