Terms of Use

Welcome to my site – monicakingsley.co!

Please pardon a little legal information before getting to the beautiful business of markets and trading…

Pretty standard and little surprising Terms – I believe the only thing standing out is the fact that on account of my experience with Sunshine Profits since 2020, the company (including its associate and successor entities) isn’t welcome without my prior written permission. This doesn’t apply to you if you solely signed up for their services, or never did business with them. Please see points 2.4. and 9.2. for details.

Regardless of the above, it’s my immutable personal characteristic to keep on looking for goodness in the world and to give the benefit of the doubt for as long as I can… For as long as I can…

Instead of the past I’ve happily left behind, I’m looking forwards to serve your interests as best as I can, above all.

1. Introduction

1.1. These Terms of Use govern your use of monicakingsley.co (further as the Site) and provide information about the Service (Services).

You further agree not to pass the premium content accessible upon creating Account, in full or in part, knowingly or unknowingly, directly or indirectly via any third party (third parties) or medium, onto such defined Sunshine Profits persons. All the above applies in full also to the company’s associate and successor entities.

The above paragraph represents the explanation to the simplified tickbox “I do not work for Sunshine Profits” you encounter when creating Account.

Refunding Subscription is considered as cancelling the Subscription. Declining payment (charge) is not considered as cancelling the Subscription. Only a refund request sent to mk@monicakingsley.co address exclusively, can be considered as a refund request, and it must be followed by providing requested assistance (chiefly by cancelling the pledge made to Patreon as Monica Kingsley doesn’t have control over clients’ Patreon accounts) so as to be valid.

You are responsible for making sure that your refund or Service(s) cancellation request is processed – upon your written request, you’ll receive Monica Kingsley’s confirmation thereof.
