Termination does not waive any rights or remedies available to CNCTASPHR under law or equity.
11A. Account Setup Fee and Payment Terms
CNCTASPHR requires a one-time, non-refundable account setup fee of $8.99 to complete registration and access the Platform. This fee is charged during the registration process and must be successfully processed before an account verification link is issued. The account setup fee is non-refundable, including if a user chooses not to complete registration, fails to verify their email address, violates Platform rules, is suspended, is terminated, or elects not to use the Platform after payment. CNCTASPHR may, at its discretion, waive the account setup fee for certain users as a courtesy, promotion, administrative exception, or goodwill gesture. A waiver does not create a right to future waivers and does not modify these Terms for other users.

The Platform may contain links, embedded content, or references to third-party websites, services, videos, media, or resources, including embedded YouTube content.
