2. Agreement to Terms
All programs, products, and services are owned by Peachy LLC, dba The Aesthetics of Joy (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), including those offered under the School of Joy. “You” or “your” refers to any user or purchaser of our programs (“Program”).
By purchasing or accessing any Program or membership, you agree to these Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms”), whether or not you have read them. These Terms govern your access to all materials, communities, communications, and platforms associated with our offerings.
We may update these Terms at any time, with the most recent version reflected by the “Last Updated” date above. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, contact us at [email protected]. We will make reasonable efforts to revoke your access.
3. Program Use and Consent
You must be at least 18 years old (or of legal age in your jurisdiction) to participate in our Programs. By accessing or using any Program, you confirm that you agree to these Terms, and to any additional policies referenced herein.
Access to programs, including the School of Joy Commons, is personal and non-transferable. Community participation is contingent upon adherence to these Terms and to posted group agreements. Violations may result in immediate removal without refund.
4. License
You are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the Program(s) for your personal, individual use. This includes access to membership communities such as the School of Joy Commons. Purchasing a Program or membership does not give you ownership of the content, software, or intellectual property.
You may not share, distribute, reproduce, or repurpose Program materials or community content without express written permission.
We reserve the right to revoke access if you violate these Terms, including misuse of community platforms or directory information. We may seek injunctive relief and/or damages for violations.
5. Fees and Refunds
Fees.
Fees are clearly stated on our website and processed via SamCart (with payments handled through Stripe or PayPal). We reserve the right to change fees at any time.
Subscriptions (School of Joy Commons).
The School of Joy Commons is a monthly subscription billed automatically. You will be charged on a recurring basis unless you cancel before your next billing cycle. No prorated refunds are issued for mid-month cancellations.

If you enroll in a payment plan or membership and your payment fails, you will be removed from the Program or Commons within 3 days unless payment is resolved. You remain responsible for any remaining balance unless otherwise specified.
Chargebacks.
You agree to contact us before initiating a chargeback. If you do initiate a chargeback, you forfeit access to all Programs and related materials, including bonuses, and we reserve the right to provide your financial institution with evidence of your purchase and acceptance of these Terms. Disputes will be governed by New York law.
6. School of Joy Commons
The School of Joy Commons is a private community hosted via WhatsApp and other tools. Participation is limited to paying members. Access is automatically revoked if your subscription lapses or if you violate these Terms.
6.1 Community Behavior
Members must follow group agreements and engage respectfully. Harassment, abuse, sales pitches, or disruption of community culture will result in immediate removal—without refund. This includes removal from all School of Joy programs, present and future.
6.2 WhatsApp Participation
Participation in the Commons is via WhatsApp, a third-party messaging platform. We are not responsible for outages or platform changes. You must abide by WhatsApp’s terms of service in addition to ours.
6.3 Directory and Information Sharing
Members complete a survey via Tally to join the Commons directory. Some responses (e.g., name, location, interests, short bio) are visible to other members.
This directory is provided solely for connection and community purposes. Misuse—including exporting, copying, soliciting, or contacting other members without their consent—is a violation of these Terms and may result in removal and legal action. While we take steps to protect your privacy, we cannot guarantee how other members use shared information.
6.4 No Commercial Use
The Commons may not be used for marketing, sales, lead generation, or recruitment without explicit permission. Violators will be removed immediately and barred from all future School of Joy offerings.
6.5 Content and Conversations
You are welcome to contribute ideas, links, and discussions. However, respectful engagement is expected. We reserve the right to moderate, remove, or block content or users at our discretion to maintain the integrity of the community.
6.6 Assumption of Risk
By participating, you acknowledge that you are engaging in a shared space and that confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. You are responsible for your own disclosures and assume all risks related to participation.

Payments are processed through SamCart using Stripe or PayPal. By using these processors, you accept their terms and any associated risks.

Any information you choose to share in our intake forms or surveys—such as your name, location, interests, or short bio—will only be visible to other members of the School of Joy Commons through our private member directory.
We take care to keep this directory private and accessible only to fellow members. However, because we cannot fully control the actions of other individuals, we cannot guarantee that information will never be misused or shared without your consent. By participating, you acknowledge this risk and agree that we are not liable for actions taken by other members. We encourage you to share only what you feel comfortable sharing in a community environment.
