Terms of service
The rules for using The 500 Sprint, written as plainly as we can manage.
Last updated: August 2026
1. Agreement to these terms
By creating an account or using this site you agree to these Terms of Service and to our Earnings Disclaimer and Privacy Policy, which form part of this agreement. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site. You must be at least 18 years old to hold an account.
2. Free and premium membership
A free account gives you access to a defined subset of the content: three complete method guides, the resource directory, the free interactive tools and the free portion of the 30-day roadmap. A premium membership unlocks the full method library, all thirty roadmap days, the premium generators and the complete template library. We may adjust which specific items sit in each tier as the library grows, but we will not remove substantial parts of the premium library without a replacement or notice.
3. Subscription billing
Premium is sold as a recurring subscription on a monthly or annual term, as selected at checkout. Payment is taken by Stripe at the start of each term and renews automatically at the then-current price for that plan until you cancel. Prices are set in pounds sterling; amounts shown in other currencies are indicative conversions and your card issuer's rate and any foreign-transaction fee will determine what you are actually charged. You are responsible for keeping a valid payment method on file, and we may suspend premium access if a payment fails.
4. Cancellation and refunds
You can cancel at any time from your billing page, with no cancellation fee. Cancellation stops the next renewal; your premium access continues until the end of the period you have already paid for, and part-periods are not refunded. Where you have a statutory right of withdrawal — for example the 14-day cooling-off period for consumers in the UK and EU — that right applies in addition to this clause, and by starting to use premium content immediately you acknowledge that the right may be reduced or lost once the service has been fully performed. If something has gone genuinely wrong with your purchase, contact us and we will deal with it fairly.
5. Acceptable use
Please use the site as intended. You must not share your login with others or allow multiple people to use one membership; scrape, bulk-download or systematically copy the content; attempt to bypass paywalls, gating or access controls; upload unlawful, abusive or infringing material; interfere with the site's security or availability; or use the site to break the law. We may suspend or terminate an account that breaches this section, without refund where the breach is serious or repeated.
6. Intellectual property and your licence
All guides, roadmap content, templates, scripts, calculators, images and other material on this site are owned by The 500 Sprint or its licensors. Your membership grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access the content and to use the templates and scripts in your own money-making activity. You may not resell, republish, redistribute, share, sublicense, teach from, or incorporate the content into a competing product or course, in whole or in part, without our written permission. This licence ends when your account or the relevant membership ends.
7. Your content
Notes, progress and other material you enter remain yours. You grant us the limited licence needed to store and display it back to you as part of running the service. If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them to improve the site without obligation to you.
8. Changes to pricing and content
We may change subscription prices. Existing subscribers will be given at least 30 days' notice by email before a price change takes effect on their renewal, and you may cancel before that renewal if you do not accept the new price. We may also add, update, reorganise or retire individual guides, tools and features as methods and platforms change; the site is a living product, not a fixed publication.
9. No guarantee of results
The site provides educational content only. We do not guarantee that you will earn any amount of money, and nothing here is financial, legal, tax or professional advice. Our Earnings Disclaimer sets out the position in full and applies to your use of the site.
10. Availability
We aim to keep the site available and accurate, but we provide it on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis. We may carry out maintenance, and services we depend on may have outages. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability to you arising out of or in connection with the site or these terms is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. We are not liable for loss of profits, income, business, opportunity, data or anticipated savings, or for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded — including your non-excludable rights as a consumer.
12. Termination
You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account for breach of these terms, for non-payment, or if we cease operating the site — in which case we will refund the unused portion of any prepaid subscription.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the current version, and we will notify members by email of material changes. Continuing to use the site after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms.
14. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, you keep the benefit of any mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence.
