25 General

Disputes: In the event of any dispute arising from, or in connection with, these Terms (Dispute), the party claiming there is a Dispute must give written notice to the other party setting out the details of the Dispute and proposing a resolution. Within 7 days after receiving the notice, the parties must attempt to resolve the Dispute or agree on the method of resolving the Dispute by other means, in good faith.  If the parties do not resolve the Dispute within 21 days after receipt of the notice, the Dispute may be referred by either party (by notice in writing to the other party) to litigation.

Force majeure: If we are unable to perform in whole or in part, any obligation under these terms as a result of any fact, circumstance or matter beyond our control, we are relieved of that obligation to the extent and for the period that we are unable to perform the obligation.  You agree that we will not be held liable for any delay or failure in performance of any part of the Coaching Program  or delivery of Products.

Assignment - Neither party may assign or novate its rights under these Terms without the other party’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. These Terms, together with any schedules, constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior discussions, representations, or agreements, whether oral or written. 

Severability: If any part of these Terms is determined to be by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that part shall be severed from the Terms.  Such invalidity does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms.  This clause survives termination of these Terms.

Relationship: These terms do not confer an agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchisor-franchisee relationship between us and you or any other party unless expressly stated otherwise.

Entire agreement: These terms (and all other terms and conditions and policies that are incorporated by these terms) and any additional policies or terms you have agreed to through use or access of our Coaching Program make up the entire agreement, and supersede all prior written and oral agreements, representations, undertakings and understandings.  This clause survives termination of these Terms.

Jurisdiction: These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales. You irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New South Wales courts.  Although the Coaching Program may be accessed throughout Australia and overseas, we make no representations or warranties that its content, or the Products, comply with the laws (including intellectual property laws) of any country outside Australia. If you access the Website from outside Australia, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for ensuring compliance with all laws in the place where you are located.  This clause survives termination of these terms
