Program Terms & Conditions

(“Terms of Purchase”)

This Agreement sets forth the terms of purchase for your purchase from Lightcage, LLC.

By placing your Order with Lightcage, LLC (the “Company”), by clicking “accept,” or by using the Services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree with these terms, you should leave the Company website or the applicable purchase page and discontinue use of the Services immediately. 

In these terms and conditions, “We/us/our/The Bullet Journal®” means Lightcage, LLC. “You/your” means you as a user of the Website and/or Customer of the Program/Services. 

The Services.


The Company provides a variety of educational resources, training materials, and physical products related to The Bullet Journal® method, with the digital products delivered digitally and through online courses or programs (as described below). Digital program content will be delivered on-line through the program website, or as otherwise indicated on your Order form page. If your purchase includes an online Program or Membership site access, you will use a unique username and password that should only be used by you to access the Content. Sharing log-in information, call-in numbers, passwords, and protected links with non-members is prohibited and will result in removal from the program. 


  • Bullet Journal Basics & Beyond is a clear and comprehensive learning experience (in a digital course format) providing training on The Bullet Journal® Method and taught by Bujo® inventor Ryder Carroll. It includes more than 2 hours of video training contained in over 60 interactive lessons, including on topics such as the origin of the method, the system, the practice, and more.

  • Bujo U Community Membership offers monthly and annual subscriptions to The Official Bullet Journal® Community, where you can access exclusive Bullet Journal content, live events, and interactive learning experiences. 

  • Physical Products including various official Bullet Journal® notebooks, writing utensils, and Bullet Journal® accessories like the guide pack, gift cards and more. 


Payment. Payment is required before beginning the program or services, as indicated on your Order form, and may be a one-time fee, or a monthly or other recurring fee, as applicable. Please check the details of your Order form or Order page for the information specific to your Order. You agree to pay the amount agreed for the product(s) or services selected. The Company is not responsible for any overdraft charges, over limit charges, or NSF fees charged by your bank or credit card company. Fees for Services may be pre-paid or by installment, as indicated on your Order form. Failure to make an installment payment will result in suspension or termination of the Services. The Company does not guarantee any specific results from use of the Services. The Company does not make any representations or warranties as to specific outcomes or results. 


Refund Policy for Digital Offers. Our refund policy for our various digital services and offerings are as follows: 

  • Bullet Journal Basics & Beyond: Sales are final. Email support [at] bulletjournal [dot] com with questions.

  • Bujo Membership: No refunds are currently available for our membership subscriptions. However, you can cancel your membership at any time by contacting us at least seven business days before your next renewal date via email at support [at] bulletjournal [dot] com with “CANCEL MEMBERSHIP” in the subject line. No refunds are available for early termination of an annual membership. Access will continue until the end of your prepaid period. 

  • Writing for Being: You can be completely refunded to the original form of payment by canceling before the 2nd live session of the program.  Email support [at] bulletjournal [dot] com with “Writing for Being Cancelation” in the subject line.  


Refund Policy for Physical Products. We use fulfillment centers to process our orders and due to their policies, they do not accept returned items that have been opened and do not record their returns as they dispose of open items. If the item(s) are unopened (manufacturer seal is still intact and unbroken), you can return it to the warehouse with the order slip that came with the package to the address listed on the package within 60 days of purchase. We do not pay for the shipping on returned items, so please notify support when you have rendered it to the carrier as the warehouses do not notify us. This will help us check on the status. Once the warehouse marks “returned”, we can issue a refund or exchange. 


Damaged Product: If you have chosen an insured shipping option, we are more than happy to replace the order. Please contact our team at support [at] bulletjournal [dot] com with a photo of your damaged product so that we can provide you with the proper support. If you receive a damaged product and you opted for regular shipping when placing your order, unfortunately, we are unable to refund or replace these items. (It seldom happens, but damage can occur during shipping). Please consider this when choosing your shipping option.


Return for refund: Please note that we do not accept any returns of books that have been used under any circumstance, or if they have been opened (plastic seal is broken). There are two ways to return unopened merchandise and here are the steps: 


  • You can do a “return to sender” or refuse the package; this is the safest option as it will have tracking still available to track the transit back to the warehouse.

  • Send it back by regular mail to the “shipped from” address found on the package (the original envelope / box); we do not reimburse for shipping if done this way. 

  • Please include the slip that has your order number & details, name and address; otherwise the warehouse will not know who it belongs to and cannot update the return under your order. 

  • Most importantly, you must let us know (by email) when you send it back, as we are not automatically notified. We have to check manually for each order, and with your help we can properly process the return and issue a refund for the purchase price. 

  • Once the return reaches the warehouse, it may take up to a few days to scan the return back into their system. Once this has been done, we can issue the refund of the purchase price. 


Cancellations: Unfortunately, we can’t offer cancellations. As soon as you place an order for a product, the order is handled directly by our fulfillment centers. We are happy to provide refunds where they are available (see above). We will not reimburse return shipping and the warehouse will not record opened items as returns. Please see our full Shipping & Delivery Policies here.


Shipping Policy. We offer a variety of shipping options depending on your (delivery) location. Please note that shipping providers are third party providers that we do not control. From time to time shipping (even “post-covid”) can continue to experience delays or inconsistencies that are beyond our control. Please note that if you select expedited shipping, it applies only to the shipping times and not standard handling and processing times which typically take at least 24 hours (excluding weekends and holidays), sometimes longer depending on when the order is placed. The shipping time begins once the package has departed the distribution center and has been rendered to the carrier. Please see our full Shipping & Delivery Policies here


Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure Agreement. You are free to speak, write and share about your own experiences from the Programs, but you agree to keep all information shared by others confidential, including all information shared by others inside of the on-line community associated with the Program. This provision specifically applies to and includes content shared within the membership course, where applicable, and any private Facebook group, or similar forum if used. If you have any questions about the applicability of this provision, please contact us via email at support [at] bulletjournal [dot] com.


Communications. The online community associated with the Program is intended to be a supportive, respectful and positive community for all involved. Communicating disrespectfully to any other members of the group constitutes grounds for removal from the Program and any associated online forum, which decision shall be in the sole discretion of the Company.  


Term. This Agreement will be effective consistent with the term indicated on your Order form or Order page. Failure to pay for the Program or Services consistent with the program requirements will result in termination of the Program prior to the end of the applicable term, and your access to Program materials or ongoing Services will be discontinued. Additional fees may be accrued in the event you continue to access the Program website or continue to use the Services after any failure to pay for said services.   


Reservation of Rights. Company reserves the rights to remove you from the Program or Services for cause, whether a breach of this contract, an act of misfeasance against the Company, a representative of the company or a participant of a group program, or other inappropriate action, which may include any action which causes a disturbance amongst the group, or otherwise negatively impacts the experience of others participating in any program offered by the Company. Such a determination shall be made solely by the Company. You agree that your exclusive remedy in such a scenario, if any, will be limited to the refund of any amount paid to participate in the services or program.  


Media Consent. As an attendee of an Event or Service being offered by the Company, you agree that as a condition of participation, the Company may create or produce video, photo, and audio recordings of the Event or Service that may include you (the “Recordings”). You agree that Company has permission to record your voice, sounds, conversation, commentary, image, and likeness in the Recordings, and hereby grant the Company a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free right and license to use the Recordings (including revised or edited versions of the Recordings) for any commercial purpose, including future marketing or advertising purposes without limitation.

Copying, removing, or otherwise scraping data, information or content, regardless of the reason, from the website, or from any Events, Services, platform, group, or online forum operated by the Company is a violation of these Terms and will result in your immediate removal from any program or services offered by the Company, including from within any platforms, groups, or online forums associated with those services, without refund or recourse, which decision shall be in the sole discretion of the Company.

Waiver. The waiver by either party of any breach or default in performance shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other or succeeding breach or default.  The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions herein shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of such party thereafter to enforce such provisions.

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or any portion thereof, is held to be invalid and unenforceable, then the remainder of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision.
