Tiers and Cohorts
You can go to Biz Arch Mastery Tiers and Pricing for a complete description of the three-tier options. Users that join at Tier Level 2 and 3 (Inner Circle and Tribal Leaders) are considered registrants of a cohort – companions that are joined in collective group coaching and instruction. Admission into a cohort is based on first-come, first-serve open enrollment. Cohort registrants join the next active cohort that has a vacancy. Once a cohort is filled, no further registrants will be accepted. Signing up for a cohort locks you into the next available cohort. A cohort waiting list may be available for registrant sign up.
Tier Structure, Terms, and Cancellation
Registrants are signed up for a 12 month period counted from the day you sign up. Inner Circle and Tribe Leader subscribers are auto-renew in the 13th month unless you cancel your subscription. For example, if an associate enrolled and paid for Tier 2 engagement on October 21, 2020, the first month would be measured from October 21, 2020 through November 20, 2020. The full year's enrollment would be measured from October 21, 2021, through October 20, 2021. Associates that sign up for Inner Circle or Tribal Leaders may cancel services at any time. Cancellation is finalized at the close of the month in which you register. For example, if you enroll on October 21, 2020 and cancel your service on July 1, 2021, you will receive service through July 20, 2021, with an inactive account as of July 21, 2021. A prorated refund will be issued on the remaining subscription. For example, if you cancel in month 8, you will be refunded for the remaining four full months (months 9 through 12).
Upgrading and Downgrading Subscription
Biz Arch Mastery provides the flexibility to move up or down in our tiered offerings. In other words, you can upgrade or downgrade your subscription level. To upgrade your level of engagement with Biz Arch Mastery, simply purchase a higher tier. For example, if you initially joined at the Basic (free) level and you wish to become a paid subscriber as an Inner Circle participant, simply click Inner Circle "Add to Cart" and complete your transaction. The same process works for upgrading from Inner Circle to Tribe Leader. You do not have to cancel your previous plan. The Biz Arch Mastery system will credit you for payments already made and charges you accordingly for the upgrade to a higher plan. If you wish to downgrade your level of participation, simply purchase a lower tier. For example, if you joined at the Tribe Leader level and wish to participate at the Inner Circle level, simply click Inner Circle "Add to Cart" and complete your transaction. You do not have to cancel your previous plan. The Biz Arch Mastery system will refund you the unused portion of your previous subscription and will adjust your charges moving forward.

All pricing displayed on Biz Arch Mastery is in United States Dollars (USD). For Wire Transfers: If you are requesting a wire transfer in U.S. funds, please note that Biz Arch Mastery will assess a $20 USD surcharge to cover the bank fee.
