Grounds for Termination of Relationship between PE and Client
• PE may terminate its relationship with Client for any material breach of these terms and conditions at its sole discretion, at any time, provided that a material breach has occurred.
• In the event of any termination initiated by PE, Client shall be entitled to a pro-rated refund of its payment, which shall be calculated at the sole discretion of PE.
Refunds
• Refunds are available on full packages only (Basic, Junior Deluxe, and Deluxe), on unused portions of the services purchased, and only to clients who pay in full. Those paying installments are not eligible for a refund.
• Refunds will also be paid out based on the implied values of each package. By way of example, if a client signs up for two Deluxe packages for a total cost of $4800 but only completes one package (valued alone at $3600), he will only be entitled to a refund of $1200 ($4800 – $3600) less all other applicable fees.
• All refunds will be subject to a 20% processing fee, withheld from all total refund amounts. No refunds will be offered for partial packages; that is, if a client has already begun a Basic, Junior Deluxe, or Deluxe package, no refund will be available for that package regardless of how much (or how little) of the package has been completed.
Rush Service
• PE guarantees all work to be returned to the Client in 72 hours or less. Please note that this 72-hour period begins at 8AM Pacific Standard Time, and excludes Sundays entirely. By way of example, if a client submits his work at 6AM PST on Thursday, the 72-hour period will expire at 8AM PST on Monday.
• If Client does not sign up for Rush Service and will not be able to complete a package due to time constraints, PE has no responsibilities beyond the Company’s standard 72-hour turnaround.

The parties shall bear equally the cost of the arbitration (except that the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the arbitration in such an amount as may be determined by the arbitrator). All decisions of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both parties and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding this, application may be made to any court for a judicial acceptance of the award or order of enforcement.
