Terms of Enrollment

Everlight Academy is an educational training program. The Academy offers companioning pathways in grief support, remembrance, and legacy practice — the Kintsugi, Spiritual, and Legacy paths — plus a Grief Business track for practice-building. Everlight Academy is not a government-accredited institution and does not confer academic degrees or externally recognised professional licenses.

Enrollment is confirmed only after: (a) you complete an orientation session with an Everlight admissions advisor; (b) you make your first installment payment; and (c) Everlight Academy approves your application.

Everlight Academy reserves the right to decline any application at its sole discretion. Enrollment is personal to you and may not be transferred to another individual.

Everlight Academy programs are delivered online and include: pre-recorded video modules, live training sessions, reflective practice exercises, platform tool access, and community access with enrolled peers.

Everlight Academy reserves the right to update, modify, or improve curriculum content at any time. Material improvements will be communicated to enrolled students. Course access is limited to your enrolled pathway unless you separately enroll in additional paths.

Content is for educational use only. Nothing in the curriculum constitutes therapy, medical or mental-health advice, legal advice, or professional counselling for any personal situation.

Tuition varies by pathway and is confirmed with you individually during your orientation session. Your agreed total tuition, deposit, instalment amounts, and payment dates are set out in the enrolment agreement you accept before any payment is taken. No fee is charged when you submit an application or join the waitlist.

Where you enrol on an instalment plan, access is released proportionally to the payments received — this is an access-by-instalment arrangement, not full entitlement to the whole program upon the first payment.

• Deposit: due before access opens — secures your place in the cohort
• Scheduled instalments: due on the dates in your enrolment agreement (weekly, fortnightly, or monthly as agreed)
• Each cleared payment releases the next stage of curriculum access

Failure to make a scheduled instalment by its due date, after the grace period stated in your enrolment agreement, will pause access to new curriculum modules. Access is reinstated upon settlement. Persistent non-payment may result in removal from the cohort without refund of amounts already paid.

All prices are in US Dollars. Students are responsible for any applicable local taxes or bank conversion fees.

Your deposit is refundable within the cooling-off window stated in your enrolment agreement (a minimum of 7 calendar days from your enrolment date), provided you have not accessed any curriculum content.

After the cooling-off window closes, or upon accessing any curriculum content (whichever occurs first), all payments are non-refundable. No refunds are issued for partial completion, missed sessions, or change of mind after the 7-day window.

Refund requests must be submitted in writing to support@everlightacademy.com within the eligible window.

The Everlight Guide credentials (Kintsugi Guide, Companion Guide, Story Guide, and Grief Practice Builder) are issued by Everlight Academy upon satisfactory completion of all path modules and a competency review.

Everlight Academy teaches non-clinical grief companioning. A companion holds space, listens reflectively, and supports remembrance — a companion does not diagnose, treat, or substitute for licensed professional care. Students and graduates must practise within this scope and refer onward to licensed clinicians when a mourner's needs exceed companioning.

Any supervised practice, community placement, or referral pathway is not currently operating. If later offered, it would be a possible supervised pathway — not a typical result and not guaranteed. Completing a path does not entitle a student to client work.

Everlight Academy does not guarantee any specific income, revenue, or practice results from completing its programs. The Grief Business track teaches practice-building skills; individual outcomes depend entirely on effort, community, setting, and factors outside Everlight's control. Enrollment in Everlight Academy is an investment in your education and development as a companion, not a guaranteed business opportunity.

All curriculum materials, videos, worksheets, templates, tools, and content provided through Everlight Academy are the intellectual property of Everlight Academy. You are granted a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive licence to use these materials solely for your own learning during your enrollment. You may not reproduce, distribute, sell, sublicense, or share Everlight materials with third parties.

Enrolled students must: treat instructors, staff, and fellow students with respect; not share login credentials or allow unauthorized access to the platform; not misrepresent their Everlight credential or scope of competency to clients or communities; stay within the non-clinical scope of companioning; and comply with all applicable laws in delivering any services they learn through the program.

Everlight Academy may suspend or remove any student who violates these standards, without refund.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Everlight Academy's total liability to you for any claims arising from your enrollment shall not exceed the amount you have actually paid to Everlight Academy. Everlight Academy is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits or lost opportunities.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the American Arbitration Association rules.

EU/UK Consumers: Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights under EU or UK consumer protection law, including your right to bring claims before the courts of your country of residence.

Everlight Academy may update these Terms from time to time. Enrolled students will be notified of material changes by email. Continued enrollment after such notice constitutes acceptance.
