YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

We only work with those who are respectful and ready to do your own inner work, committed to being 100% responsible for your own growth. While we can provide you with the resources
and opportunities, it is essential that you take full responsibility for doing the work. We
maintain strong boundaries and will not work with those who are disrespectful or rude.

You acknowledge that we do not make any representations or guarantees about the future
outcomes that may result from working with us. The results that you achieve depend on a wide range of factors beyond our knowledge and control, including the specific circumstances of your
business, and the amount of effort you put in. You accept and agree that you are 100%
responsible for your own results.

As coaches, we do not have a magic wand. Outsourcing your responsibility to us or copying
materials instead of taking ownership of your business journey will not get you anywhere. Take what we teach and put in the effort to grow something new and unique to you.

Our programs must not be used as a platform for you to sell your own products or services. If you feel that you have something to offer that other participants could benefit from, please contact us to discuss collaborative promotional opportunities.

We employ a range of methodologies. You agree to be open minded and participate to the best
of your abilities in the activities we propose. This may include establishing goals, identifying
resources, creating action plans, strategizing, and providing models, examples, and in-the-moment skills training.

RESPECTFUL COMMUNICATION

We reserve the right to delete any comments on our website or social media accounts which
are rude, offensive or which we deem to be unacceptable. Keep it polite and play nicely, please!

We also reserve the right to refuse to work with you if you are not respectful to us and other participants in our programs.

REFUND POLICY

There are strictly no refunds if you change your mind, because we want you to be fully engaged in your work with us. We encourage you to consider carefully whether a purchase is right for
you before you make your payment. When you sign up to work with us, you are making a commitment to your personal and professional
development. It is very common to experience doubts, setbacks and the desire to quit. That is why you have asked us to hold you accountable. As a result, you agree that you will stay in the room despite the discomfort and not withdraw from our work together until it is complete. If you have a
major problem beyond your control that is preventing you from participating fully, please contact us to discuss available options.

APPOINTMENT POLICY AND DELIVERY OF SERVICES 

Delivery of our services may be in person, or online via Zoom.

Online consultations will be recorded, and you give permission for this to occur. If you wish to have a copy of the recording, please ask us for the opportunity to record at the start of the consultation.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you have reliable, working internet connection, that you have downloaded and tested that Zoom is installed correctly.

It is very important that you are punctual. We send a number of reminders prior to the
consultation, and it is your responsibility to confirm time zones and be ready to commence on time. If you are late, we will still finish at the scheduled time.

For group programs where the call is recorded, you will have the opportunity to review the
recording in your own time.

We require at least 24 hours’ notice in order to reschedule a consultation. If you miss a
scheduled consultation or fail to provide us with the required notice, you will forfeit your
payment, as we have held this time open for you in our calendar.

In-person training is held at your venue or at your event. Please ensure that you have sufficient public liability insurance, and can provide adequate, functional presentation tools and
equipment. Costs for travel, accommodation and other relevant disbursements may be
negotiated with you prior to the event.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION & JURISDICTION

If you have any concerns, issues or complaint arising out of your use of this website, our
products or services, or these terms and conditions, you agree to communicate with us with the intention of making a genuine effort to seek a win/win solution and trying to resolve the dispute in good faith through negotiation and discussion.

Please email us at [email protected] and expect a response within 2 business days.

“We” below refers to everyone involved in the dispute.

If the dispute cannot be resolved by negotiation and discussion within 14 days, we agree to proceed to mediation with the assistance of an independent accredited mediator, seeking
mediation online or by telephone if we are not both geographically located within 100kms of each other.

The mediator is to be appointed by agreement between us or, failing agreement within 21 days
of the negotiation period ending, the person initiating the dispute will seek the appointment of a dispute resolution professional by the President of the Law Society of Victoria, Australia or similar neutral authority. We agree to share all the costs of mediation equally between us.

We agree that neither of us will commence legal action until, in the opinion of the independent
mediator, the potential for negotiation and mediation have been exhausted.

If a dispute arises, we all agree that we will not engage in any public discussion about the issues, we will behave politely towards each other, and we will avoid any conduct or communication
which might reasonably be expected to unreasonably interfere with any other person’s business
or personal interests.

This agreement is subject to the governing law of Victoria, Australia. Regardless of where you live in the world, you irrevocably agree that if the dispute resolution processes fail, the courts of Victoria, and the Commonwealth of Australia, will have exclusive jurisdiction.

FORCE MAJEURE 

Neither party will be liable for failure nor delay in performing obligations under our agreement to work together, which have become practically impossible because of circumstances beyond
their reasonable control.

Such circumstances include without limitation natural disasters or acts of God; acts of terrorism; labour disputes or stoppages; war; government acts or orders; epidemics, pandemics or outbreak of communicable disease; quarantines; national or regional emergencies; or any other cause, whether similar in kind or otherwise, beyond the party’s reasonable control.

Written notice of a party’s failure or delay in performance due to force majeure must be given to the other party no later than 5 business days following the force majeure event commencing. This notice shall describe the force majeure event and the actions taken to minimize its impact
All delivery dates affected by force majeure shall be paused for the duration of the force
majeure event. You agree that we will, when feasible, not cancel but reschedule the pertinent obligations and deliverables for mutually agreed dates as soon as practicable after the force
majeure condition ceases to exist.
