Terms of Service

01 — Who We Are

Built To Ascend is a personal development platform built and run by Scott Lawson.

The platform covers body, mind, business and spirit — through ebooks, courses, AI tools, a member dashboard, daily insights and direct coaching access. Everything here is built from real experience, not theoretical advice from someone who's never done the work.

You're accessing a platform that is actively being built. New content drops monthly. New tools go live regularly. If something doesn't exist yet, it's being built — not forgotten.

Contact: scott@builttoascend.co

02 — Accepting These Terms

By creating an account, purchasing anything, or using any part of this platform, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the platform. Simple.

You must be 18 or over to use Built To Ascend. If you're not, close the tab and come back when you are — the content will still be here.

03 — Your Account

You are responsible for your account. Use a real email address, keep your password secure, and don't share your login with anyone else. If your account gets compromised because you shared it or used “password123”, that's on you.

One account per person. We can tell when people are sharing accounts — don't bother.

If you think your account has been compromised, email scott@builttoascend.co immediately.

04 — Memberships & Payments

We charge what we say we charge. No hidden fees, no surprise renewals buried in footnotes.

Monthly memberships renew automatically each month. Annual memberships renew each year. You'll receive an email reminder before any renewal. You can cancel at any time through your dashboard — no phone call required, no hoops to jump through.

Ebook and course purchases are one-time payments. You get lifetime access to what you bought.

Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card details. Stripe is PCI compliant and used by millions of businesses worldwide — your financial data is in safe hands.

All prices are in GBP. If you're paying in another currency, your bank or card issuer handles the conversion.

05 — Refund Policy

Here's the honest version: we don't offer blanket refunds, but we're not unreasonable.

Ebooks and digital products: No refunds after download. The content is delivered instantly and can't be “returned” — once you've read it, you've read it. If you received a corrupted file or the wrong product, email us and we'll fix it immediately.

Monthly memberships: Cancel any time. You keep access until the end of your paid period. No pro-rata refunds on partial months.

Annual memberships: If you cancel within 14 days of your first annual payment and haven't used the platform, email us and we'll refund. After that, no refunds on annual plans.

Coaching: Covered in your individual coaching agreement.

If something went wrong on our end — technical failure, wrong product, access issues we couldn't fix — we make it right. Always. Email scott@builttoascend.co and you'll hear back within 48 hours.

06 — Content & Intellectual Property

Everything on this platform — the ebooks, courses, articles, AI-generated insights, the dashboard, the brand, the code — belongs to Built To Ascend unless stated otherwise.

You can read it, use it for your own growth, take notes, apply it to your life. You cannot copy it, republish it, sell it, or pass it off as your own. That includes screenshots of paid content shared for others to read for free. Don't be that person.

If you post in the community or share journals/reflections within the platform, you own that content. You're giving us permission to display it within the platform. We're not using your words for marketing without asking you first.

07 — Acceptable Use

The platform exists for people who want to build something real in their lives. That's the only reason to be here.

Don't use Built To Ascend to:

• ✕Spam other members or misuse the community features
• ✕Scrape content, reverse-engineer tools, or access the platform via automated means
• ✕Impersonate other members or Scott
• ✕Share account access with people who haven't paid
• ✕Use the AI tools for anything illegal, harmful, or genuinely awful
• ✕Attempt to access parts of the platform you haven't paid for

Violations result in account suspension. No warning required for serious breaches.

08 — Health & Fitness Disclaimer

This is important. Read it properly.

The health, fitness, nutrition and wellness content on this platform is educational and informational. It is not medical advice. It is not a substitute for a qualified doctor, physiotherapist, dietitian or any other healthcare professional.

Scott is someone who has done the work, applied the research, and shares what actually worked. That is not the same as medical training. Before starting any new protocol — especially cold exposure, fasting, supplementation or anything that significantly changes how you eat or train — consult a qualified professional.

Particularly if you have any existing health conditions, are pregnant, are on medication, or haven't exercised in a long time: please speak to your doctor first.

The results described on this platform reflect individual experience. They are not typical and are not guaranteed. What worked for one person may not work for you. Apply good judgment.

09 — Financial & Business Disclaimer

Nothing on this platform constitutes financial advice, investment advice, or a guarantee of income. Building a business takes work, time, and iteration. The examples of income and results shared here are real — they are also not typical, not guaranteed, and not a promise of what you'll achieve.

The people who get results from this platform are the ones who show up consistently, apply the frameworks, and adapt them to their situation. There is no shortcut being sold here.

10 — Numerology & Wisdom Tools

The numerology readings, archetype analysis, and wisdom tools on this platform are for self-reflection, personal insight, and the exploration of patterns in your life. They are not fortune-telling, they are not guaranteed predictors of the future, and they are not a substitute for professional life or business advice.

Thousands of years of tradition and pattern-recognition sit behind these systems. Use them as a lens, not a cage. Your numbers inform the path — you still have to walk it.

11 — Platform Availability

We aim for high uptime but we don't guarantee 100%. Servers break, deployments go sideways, third-party services have outages. If something is down, it's being fixed — not abandoned.

We reserve the right to change the platform, add features, remove features, and adjust pricing with reasonable notice. If a significant change affects your existing subscription, you'll be told in advance.

12 — Termination

You can cancel your account at any time from your dashboard settings. Your data is handled per our Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend accounts that violate these terms. In serious cases this happens immediately. In lesser cases we'll generally reach out first.

13 — Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes that can't be resolved through direct communication will be handled under English jurisdiction.

If we have a dispute, email first. Most things can be sorted without involving lawyers. Scott reads every email personally.

14 — Changes to These Terms

These terms will be updated when needed. The date at the top shows when they were last changed. Continued use of the platform after a change means you accept the updated terms.

We won't make material changes that disadvantage paying members without proper notice.
