Terms of Service - Base 1520

BASE 1520 — Terms of Service

Effective Date: July 8, 2026

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding legal agreement between you (“you” or “User”) and BASE1520 LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company doing business as BASE 1520 (“BASE 1520,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your access to and use of our website at base1520.com (the “Site”), our courses and events, our fitness application, our email and messaging programs, and all related products, content, and services we make available (collectively, the “Services”).

Please read these Terms carefully. They include important provisions that affect your legal rights, including an assumption of risk for strenuous physical activity and live firearms training (Section 8), a limitation of liability (Section 19), and a dispute-resolution provision that includes binding arbitration and a class-action waiver, which you may opt out of (Section 22).

1. Acceptance of These Terms

By accessing or using any part of the Services — including creating an account, purchasing a course or subscription, opting into an email or text program, or clicking to accept these Terms — you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

For any in-person course or event, you will also be required to sign a separate participation agreement addressing liability, media, confidentiality, and conduct (the “Waiver”). These Terms and the Waiver are intended to work together; where the Waiver applies and conflicts with these Terms as to an in-person course or event, the Waiver controls for that course or event.

2. Eligibility (18+)

The Services are intended for adults 18 years of age or older. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18, that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms, and that all information you provide is accurate. The Services are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. We may refuse, suspend, or terminate access to any person for any lawful reason, including failure to meet eligibility, health, safety, firearms-eligibility, or conduct requirements.

3. Description of the Services

BASE 1520 is a faith-based fitness and missions-training company. Our Services include, without limitation:

The Alpha Course — a men’s in-person tactical intensive priced at $2,000 that includes live firearms training and strenuous physical activity.
The Gamma Course — a women’s in-person intensive priced at $1,200 that includes situational-awareness instruction and handgun training.
The Fitness App — a subscription-based fitness application, powered and delivered through our third-party provider Everfit, billed on a recurring basis (see Sections 5 and 6).
The 7-Day Readiness Challenge — a free, email-based program you may opt into.
Member Care — a program to which pastors and missionaries may apply.
For Churches — business-to-business offerings provided by quote.
Wellbeing Assessments — the PWI-A wellbeing instrument and the GAD-7 screening tool, as described in Section 10.

Our in-person courses are led by our instructors, range safety officers, and staff (collectively, the “cadre”). We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services, including any course, cohort, feature, or price, at any time. Course descriptions, curricula, schedules, locations, cadre, and prices are subject to change until confirmed at the time of purchase.

4. Accounts and Registration

Some Services require you to register for an account or enroll in a program. You agree to provide accurate and complete information and to keep it current. You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at info@base1520.com if you suspect unauthorized use. You may not share, sell, or transfer your account, course enrollment, or subscription without our written consent. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe present a safety, conduct, or security risk.

5. Purchases and Payment

All prices are stated in U.S. dollars (USD) and, unless expressly stated otherwise, are exclusive of any applicable taxes, which you are responsible for paying. When you make a purchase, you authorize us and our payment processors to charge your selected payment method for the total amount shown at checkout, including recurring charges where applicable (see Section 6).

We use third-party payment processors to handle payments:

Stripe processes card payments.
Affirm offers installment financing for eligible purchases. Affirm financing is a separate agreement between you and Affirm, subject to Affirm’s own terms, eligibility criteria, and credit approval. BASE 1520 is not a lender and is not a party to your Affirm loan.

By providing a payment method, you represent that you are authorized to use it and that the information you provide is accurate. If a charge is declined, reversed, or charged back, we may suspend the associated Services and pursue amounts owed. We do not store full payment-card numbers; card data is handled by our processors under their security standards. Your use of Stripe and Affirm is also governed by their respective terms and privacy policies (see Section 15).

6. The Fitness App Subscription — Recurring and Auto-Renewing Billing

The Fitness App is offered as an automatically renewing subscription. The specific plan, price, and billing period depend on the package you select and are disclosed to you at checkout, where you must affirmatively agree to them before you are charged. By subscribing, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

Recurring charges. Your subscription bills at the price and on the billing cycle shown for the plan you select, and it automatically renews at the end of each billing period at the then-current price until you cancel.
Authorization to charge. You authorize us and our processor to charge your payment method the subscription fee (plus applicable taxes) at the start of each billing period, without further authorization from you, until you cancel.
Trials. If your plan includes a free or discounted trial, the trial’s length and terms are disclosed at checkout; your paid subscription and recurring charges begin automatically when the trial ends unless you cancel before then.
Price changes. We may change subscription prices. We will give you advance notice of any increase, and the new price applies to your next renewal after the notice. Continuing your subscription after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the new price.

How to Cancel

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account or in-app subscription settings — the same channel you used to subscribe — or by emailing us at info@base1520.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period; you keep access through the period you have already paid for, and we do not provide prorated refunds for partial periods except where required by law.

Renewal Reminders

Where required by applicable automatic-renewal laws, we will send you a reminder notice before your subscription renews that identifies the subscription, the renewal price and frequency, and how to cancel.

This subscription is offered in compliance with U.S. federal and state automatic-renewal requirements, including the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act (ROSCA) and state Automatic Renewal Laws. Our goal is clear up-front terms, your affirmative consent, and easy, no-friction online cancellation through the same channel you used to sign up.

7. Refunds and Cancellation of Courses and Programs

The following applies to our high-ticket, limited-seat cohort courses, including the Alpha Course and the Gamma Course.

All course payments are non-refundable. Because enrolling reserves a limited seat and commits non-recoverable costs (venue, insurance, cadre, equipment, and ammunition), all tuition and fees you pay for a course are non-refundable.
One-time transfer. If you are unable to attend, you may request to transfer your enrollment one time to a future cohort, provided you notify us in writing at least 30 days before your original cohort’s start date and space is available. A transfer may be subject to any difference in then-current tuition.
No refunds for no-shows or removals. No refund is available for no-shows, partial attendance, or removal from a course for violating these Terms, the Waiver, safety rules, firearms-eligibility requirements, or cadre instructions.
If we cancel. If BASE 1520 cancels a course for reasons within our control and cannot offer you a reasonable alternative date, you will receive, at your choice, a full refund of amounts you paid for that course or a transfer to a future cohort. This is your sole remedy for such a cancellation. Cancellations caused by events outside our control are governed by Section 21 (Force Majeure).

Financing through Affirm does not change these refund terms; you remain responsible to Affirm under your loan agreement. To request a transfer, contact info@base1520.com.

8. Assumption of Risk — Health, Fitness, and Firearms Safety

Our in-person courses are physically demanding and involve inherent and significant risks. The Alpha Course and Gamma Course include strenuous physical activity and live firearms training with real firearms and live ammunition. These activities carry inherent risks that cannot be eliminated, including the risk of serious bodily injury, permanent disability, and death, whether caused by your own actions, the actions of others, the nature of the activity, or equipment.

By enrolling in and participating in any course, event, or physical program, you acknowledge and agree that:

You are voluntarily participating with full knowledge of the risks, and you knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown.
You are physically fit and medically able to participate in strenuous physical activity and firearms training, and you have no condition that would make your participation unsafe to you or others.
You will consult a physician before beginning any fitness program or physically demanding course, and you assume all risk of not doing so. The Services are not medical advice and are not a substitute for professional medical care.
You will obey all safety rules and range protocols and follow all instructions from the cadre and BASE 1520 staff at all times, and you understand that failure to do so may result in your immediate removal without refund.
You will not participate under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any substance that impairs judgment or coordination, and you will comply with all applicable firearms, licensing, and safety laws.
You have signed or will sign the Waiver, and its terms are in addition to, and incorporated into, these Terms.

Firearms and export eligibility. Because our tactical courses involve live firearms and ammunition, you represent and warrant that you are legally permitted to possess and handle firearms and ammunition under all applicable federal, state, and local laws; that you are not a person prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) or any other law; and that you will satisfy all applicable licensing, background-check, and range requirements. You further represent that you are a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, or that you have disclosed any non-U.S.-person status to us in writing before enrolling, because furnishing firearms or tactical training to certain foreign persons may be restricted under U.S. export-control laws (including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations). We may deny, condition, suspend, or terminate your firearms participation, without refund, if we cannot verify your eligibility.

Your assumption of risk in this Section reflects your informed, voluntary consent and knowledge of the risks; it does not, and is not intended to, waive or limit any liability that cannot be limited under Louisiana law, including liability for physical injury or for gross or intentional fault (see Section 19).

9. The Participation Waiver

Participation in any in-person course or event is conditioned on your signing the Waiver, which addresses assumption of risk, media and likeness use, confidentiality/non-disclosure of our proprietary curriculum, and a code of conduct. If you do not sign the Waiver, or if you revoke it, you may not participate and standard refund terms in Section 7 apply. In the event of a conflict between the Waiver and these Terms regarding an in-person course or event, the Waiver governs that course or event. Nothing in the Waiver or these Terms limits any liability that may not be limited under Louisiana law (see Section 19).

10. Wellbeing Assessments (PWI-A and GAD-7)

As part of certain programs, we may invite you to complete wellbeing assessments, including the Personal Wellbeing Index — Adult (PWI-A) and the GAD-7 screening tool. These assessments may be reviewed by qualified BASE 1520 personnel for wellbeing and program-suitability purposes only.

You understand and agree that:

These assessments are used for wellbeing and program-suitability purposes and are not a clinical diagnosis, medical or mental-health treatment, or the establishment of a therapist–patient or provider–patient relationship.
A screening tool such as the GAD-7 is not a substitute for evaluation by your own healthcare provider.
If you are in crisis or experiencing thoughts of harming yourself or others, do not rely on the Services — call or text 988 (the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline) or call 911, or seek immediate professional help.
We handle assessment responses in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

11. Acceptable Use

You agree not to, and not to attempt to:

Use the Services for any unlawful, harmful, or fraudulent purpose, or in violation of any firearms, export, or other applicable law;
Harass, threaten, endanger, or harm any participant, staff member, or cadre, or disregard any safety instruction;
Reproduce, distribute, record, publicly display, resell, or create derivative works from our curriculum, content, or materials except as expressly permitted;
Share account access or transfer enrollments without our written consent;
Reverse engineer, scrape, probe, or interfere with the Site, the Fitness App, or our systems, or introduce malware;
Misrepresent your identity, health, eligibility, firearms eligibility, or affiliation; or
Use the Services to infringe the rights of others.

We may investigate and take action for any violation, including removing content, suspending or terminating access, removing you from a course without refund, and reporting conduct to authorities.

12. Intellectual Property

The Services and all associated content — including our curricula, course materials, training methods, text, graphics, logos, the BASE 1520 name and brand, videos, and software — are owned by BASE1520 LLC or its licensors and are protected by U.S. and international intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the content we make available to you solely for your own non-commercial use in connection with the Services. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

Our course curriculum and training materials are proprietary and confidential. You agree not to copy, record, distribute, teach, or disclose them to third parties, consistent with the non-disclosure obligations in the Waiver. This confidentiality obligation survives the end of your participation.

13. User Content and Testimonials

You may have opportunities to submit content — such as reviews, testimonials, photos, comments, survey responses, or forum posts (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content, but you grant BASE1520 LLC a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, adapt, publish, and display your User Content in connection with operating and promoting the Services and our mission. You represent that you own or have the rights to your User Content and that it does not violate any law or third-party right. Use of your name, image, and likeness captured at in-person courses or events is governed by the media provisions of the Waiver. We may remove any User Content at our discretion and are not responsible for User Content submitted by others.

14. Copyright Complaints (DMCA)

We respect intellectual-property rights and respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe content on the Site infringes a copyright you own or control, send a written notice to our designated agent that includes: (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work you claim was infringed; (c) identification of the material you claim is infringing and enough information for us to locate it; (d) your name, address, and contact information; (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Send notices to our designated agent by email at info@base1520.com (subject line “DMCA”), or by mail to BASE1520 LLC, Attn: DMCA Agent, 2991 Nesom Rd, Clinton, LA 70722. We may remove material we believe to be infringing and may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

15. Third-Party Services

The Services rely on and link to third-party providers, including Stripe (card payments), Affirm (installment financing), and Everfit (the platform powering the Fitness App), among others. Your use of these third-party services is governed by their own terms of service and privacy policies, and BASE 1520 is not responsible or liable for their acts, omissions, availability, or content. We do not endorse and are not responsible for third-party websites or resources that we link to.

16. Affiliate and Advertising Disclosure

BASE 1520 may participate in affiliate programs and may recommend third-party products or services (for example, nutrition or gear partners). When we have a material connection — such as an affiliate commission, payment, or free product — for a product or service we recommend, we disclose it in accordance with the FTC’s Endorsement Guides. Where practical, that disclosure appears close to the relevant recommendation. We only recommend products we believe are consistent with our mission, but you are responsible for your own purchasing decisions, and any purchase you make from a third party is between you and that third party.

17. Communications, Email, and Text Messages

By using the Services, you consent to receive communications from us electronically — including transactional messages about your account, purchases, courses, and subscription (such as renewal reminders) — and you agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing.

You may also opt in to marketing communications, such as our free 7-Day Readiness Challenge and other email programs. You can unsubscribe from marketing email at any time using the link in the message; we may still send you non-marketing, transactional messages.

If you provide a mobile number and opt in to text messages (SMS), you consent to receive recurring automated texts from us at that number. Message and data rates may apply. Consent to marketing texts is not a condition of purchase. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP, and reply HELP for help. If we do not offer an SMS program, this paragraph does not apply to you.

18. Disclaimer of Warranties

Except where prohibited by law, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that they will achieve any particular fitness, health, spiritual, professional, or missional result. Any statements about outcomes are aspirational, not guarantees. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you.

19. Limitation of Liability

Louisiana carve-out. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under Louisiana law. In particular, and consistent with Louisiana Civil Code article 2004, these Terms do not exclude or limit our liability for causing physical injury to you, or for our intentional or gross fault. Every provision of these Terms is read to give effect to this limitation.

Subject to the paragraph above, to the fullest extent permitted by law:

BASE1520 LLC and its members, managers, employees, contractors, cadre, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or related to the Services or these Terms, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or related to the Services or these Terms that are not otherwise barred by law will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid to us for the specific Service giving rise to the claim in the 12 months before the event, or $100.

These limitations do not apply to liability for physical injury or for intentional or gross fault, or to any other liability that may not be limited under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

20. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BASE1520 LLC and its members, managers, employees, contractors, cadre, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms or the Waiver; (c) your violation of any law or of any third party’s rights, including any firearms, export, or safety law; or (d) your negligence or misconduct. This does not require you to indemnify us for liability arising from our own intentional or gross fault or for physical injury we cause, to the extent such indemnity would be barred by Louisiana law.

21. Force Majeure

We are not responsible for any delay or failure to perform, and are not liable for any resulting loss, when caused by events beyond our reasonable control — including acts of God, severe weather, hurricanes, floods, wildfire, natural disaster, fire, power or internet outage, range or facility closure, epidemic or pandemic, government order, war, civil unrest, labor disruption, or the unavailability or emergency of a cadre member (each, a “Force Majeure Event”). If a course or event is canceled, postponed, or materially disrupted because of a Force Majeure Event, we will, at our option and as your sole remedy, offer you a reschedule, a credit toward a future cohort, or a pro-rata refund of amounts you paid for the affected course, less non-recoverable third-party costs.

22. Dispute Resolution — Informal Resolution, Arbitration, and Class-Action Waiver

22.1 Informal Resolution First

Before starting any formal proceeding, you agree to first contact us at info@base1520.com and give us 30 days to resolve the dispute informally and in good faith. Most concerns can be resolved this way.

22.2 Binding Individual Arbitration

If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law and except as stated below, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its then-current consumer arbitration rules. The arbitration will be seated in East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

22.3 Class-Action Waiver

You and BASE 1520 agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims or preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.

22.4 Your Right to Opt Out

You may opt out of the arbitration and class-action-waiver provisions in Sections 22.2 and 22.3 by emailing info@base1520.com with your name and a statement that you opt out, within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms.

22.5 Exceptions

Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect its intellectual property or confidential information. Nothing in this Section waives any right or remedy that cannot be waived under Louisiana or federal law, including as to physical injury or intentional or gross fault.

23. Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 22, any dispute not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

24. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective Date” above and, for material changes, provide reasonable notice (for example, by posting on the Site or emailing you). Changes are effective when posted unless stated otherwise. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Services.

25. Termination

You may stop using the Services at any time, subject to the payment, subscription, and refund terms above. We may suspend or terminate your access to any or all of the Services at any time, with or without notice, for any lawful reason, including violation of these Terms, the Waiver, or safety rules, or to protect participants or our systems. Upon termination, your right to use the Services ends, but any provisions that by their nature should survive — including Sections 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 26 — will survive.

26. General

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Waiver, and any order or enrollment terms you agree to at checkout, are the entire agreement between you and BASE 1520 regarding the Services and supersede all prior agreements on that subject.

No Waiver; Assignment

Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights except as expressly stated.

Headings

Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
