Supply of Service & Acceptable Use Policy

Updated 2 January 2025

Supply of Service and Digital Content

If our supply of the Services is delayed by an event outside of our control, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this, we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the Contract and receive a refund for any sums you have paid in advance for Services which will not be provided.
We will use all reasonable endeavours to meet any performance dates specified in the Order Confirmation, but any such dates are estimates only and failure to perform the Services by such dates will not give you the right to terminate the Contract.
We may have to suspend the supply of a Service to:
(a) deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
(b) update the Service to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
(c) make changes to the Service as notified by us to you.
We will contact you in advance (two weeks written notice) to tell you we will be suspending supply of the Services unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we must suspend the Services, we will adjust the Charges so that you do not pay for Services while they are suspended. You may contact us to end the Contract for a Service if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 14 days and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the Service in respect of the period after you end the Contract.
You understand and agree that you will be entitled to download three (3) copies of each digital document made available as part of the Services. Once you have exhausted the permitted downloads of a particular document, you will not be entitled to download any further copies of that digital document, unless expressly agreed with us.
If you do not pay us for the Services when you are supposed to and you still do not make payment within seven (7) days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the Services until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the Services. We will not charge you for the Services during the period for which they are suspended.
Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, and we make no representations or warranties, express or implied, regarding the operation or availability of the Services. Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information contained within and in connection with the Services, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the content contained within and in connection with the Services is accurate, complete or up-to-date.

Whilst we have utilised in creating the Services, and we will always in our dealings with you utilise, our best professional endeavours and skills, we do not guarantee any specific outcome from your use of the Services as any such outcome will vary based on the level of effort, engagement and implementation on your part. For an abundance of caution, you understand and agree that we do not guarantee that your use of or engagement with the Services will result in any particular or specific outcome. You acknowledge and agree that any statements made by us regarding potential outcomes are opinions and are not binding on us. We may provide testimonials from previous clients, which are not to be relied upon to predict results in your specific situation. We may provide real-life examples or hypothetical examples of possible outcomes, which are in no way guarantees of what will occur in your specific situation.
You agree that we are not and will not be liable or responsible for any of your actions, inactions, direct or indirect results in connection with the Services.

Intellectual property rights
We are the owners or licensees of all intellectual property rights on the website, and the Services you purchase, including any databases that hold relevant information about the website or its Services. These rights are protected by copyright or trademark registration, and you may only use the Services, or any part of them, in accordance with these Terms.
Upon payment of the Charges for any of our Services we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to use the Services for your own personal, non-commercial use.
You must not redistribute, transmit, assign, sell, rent, exchange, commercially exploit, broadcast, modify, adapt, copy, edit, sub-licence, share, lend, or transfer any Services, or part of the Services, that you purchase through this website or from us unless agreed with us in writing. To do so would be breaching our intellectual property rights, and we reserve our rights to take legal action if this occurs.
We are the owner or licensees of all intellectual property rights, including trademark right of Children’s Work, Stick Stone Pencil, Banding Together and all associated branding. You may only use these branding elements as agreed with me in writing.

How we may use your personal information
We will use any personal information you provide for us to provide the Services, process your payment for the Services, and inform you about similar services that we provide, but you may stop receiving this information at any time by contacting us. Further details of how we process personal information are set out in our Privacy Policy, which is available on our website.

Limitation of liability
We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Services.
If defective digital content which we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage which you could have avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage which was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us.
We will not be liable to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, for any special, indirect or consequential loss arising under or in connection with this Contract, including any loss of profits, loss of sales or business, loss of production, loss of agreements or contracts, loss of business opportunity, loss of anticipated savings, loss of or damage to goodwill, loss of reputation, or loss of use or corruption of software, data or information.
You acknowledge and agree that we are not legal, taxation, financial or marketing advisers and none of the information provided in relation to these topics, as part of or in connection with the Services should be deemed or taken as advice or advisory services. Any information provided as part of the Services is intended to provide general education, and is only personalised or specialised advice if you have engaged us for individual coaching or mentoring. We strongly recommend you seek the services of competent legal, taxation, accounting and marketing professionals before taking any actions or making any decisions relating to your legal, taxation, financial or marketing liabilities, responsibilities or affairs. We will not be liable or responsible for any actions or decisions, or the impacts of any actions or decisions, taken in relation to your business.
You understand and agree that you may be exposed to content and materials that violate out Acceptable Use Policy, or for any other reason may be inappropriate, offensive or irrelevant to the Services. Please note that whilst we take all reasonable precautions to mitigate this risk, we do not guarantee or warrant that the Services, or any online space where we make all or part of the Services available, will be free from content or materials that violate out Acceptable Use Policy, or for any other reason may be inappropriate, offensive or irrelevant to the Services.
Nothing in this Contract is intended to have the effect of excluding, restricting or modifying the application of all or any of the relevant provisions of the Australian Consumer Law or the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (“ACL”), or the exercise of a right conferred by the ACL, or any liability of ours in relation to a failure to comply with a guarantee that applies under the ACL to a supply of services.

Other important terms
We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the Contract. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.
This Contract is between you and us. No other person will have any rights to enforce any of its Terms. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person to end the Contract or make any changes to these Terms.
Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this Contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things, and it will not prevent us taking steps against you later. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you, but we continue to provide the Services, we can still require you to make the payment later. However, Coaching Services need to be prepaid before this Coaching Service is commenced.
These Terms, their subject matter and their formation, are governed by Australian law. You and we both agree that the courts in Australia will have exclusive jurisdiction.

ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY
This Acceptable Use Policy sets out the content standards that apply when you upload content to our website or other online spaces, contact other users of our Services, link to our website, or interact with our website or other online spaces in any other way.

Interactive Services
We may from time to time provide interactive services on our website or other online spaces, including, without limitation:
• Chat rooms;
• Bulletin boards;
• Blog Posts;
(jointly the “interactive services”).
Where we do provide any interactive service, we will provide clear information to you about the kind of service offered, if it is moderated and what form of moderation is used (including whether it is human or technical).
We will do our best to assess any possible risks for users (and for children) from third parties when they use any interactive service provided on our website, and we will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in the light of those risks. However, we are under no obligation to oversee, monitor or moderate any interactive service we provide on our website or other online spaces, and we expressly exclude our liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of any interactive service by a user in contravention of our content standards, whether the service is moderated or not.
The use of any of our interactive services by a minor is subject to the consent of their parent or guardian. We advise parents who permit their children to use an interactive service that it is important that they communicate with their children about their safety online, as moderation is not fool proof. Minors who are using any interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks to them. Where we do moderate an interactive service, we will normally provide you with a means of contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise.
