For so long as you are paying the fees required by us, and you are complying with these Program Terms & Conditions, we grant to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable limited licence to:

• access and use data and materials made available on our platforms that you have chosen 
• download and temporarily store insubstantial portions of such data to a storage device under your exclusive control 
• internally display such downloaded data and 
• reproduce such data subject to the further limitations set out in these Program Terms & Conditions

Your licence will expire upon the conclusion of the program/s that you have purchased, and/or in accordance with the date or time period noted on our website or as notified by us to you from time to time.  

 

Your licence is not transferable and you may only republish data made available by us with our prior written consent. 

 

Certain software may not be capable of supporting our platforms and the performance of the service will vary with the hardware on which it is used. You must check that your network is capable of supporting your acquisition before committing to buy.

  

Production of on-demand resources may take up to 4 weeks after the event date. We will notify you of film and recording release dates, as well as how to access on-demand content, from time to time. 

 

Each registration is for 1 attendee only unless it is a group booking. Attendees cannot share a registration (i.e. attendees cannot change between sessions or days). Should multiple attendees attempt to share a registration, all attendees will be liable for the additional registration fees on a joint and several basis.  An organisation cannot register for an event or for materials; rather each individual’s details must be provided at the time of registration.

FEES & CHARGES

You agree to pay all fees or charges in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time you make a purchase.  Fees will be calculated in accordance with our pricing schedule (as made available by us from time to time on our website).  Group bookings and discounts may be available where specified.  Any such offer is not to be used in conjunction with any other discount and the discount will be applied to the lowest registration price.

Unless stated otherwise, fees are charged in Australian dollars and are expressed exclusive of GST (which applies in addition where so required by the GST law). You must provide us with valid credit card information as a condition to purchasing paid content.

 

Unless stated otherwise, we charge and collect payments in full in advance.  If instead content or usage is being provided to you on an instalment basis, we will automatically charge you the balance when the payment is due. You authorise us to charge your credit card at the then current rate.  We use third party payment processing services operated by Square AU Pty Ltd and Stripe Inc.  Those services are subject to the Square General Terms of Service and End User Terms of Service respectively.

If you believe that you have been incorrectly billed by us, you must contact us in writing within 28 days of the date of the invoice containing the amount in question to be eligible to receive an adjustment or credit.

You agree that we will not be liable for any loss caused by any unauthorised use of your credit card or any other method of payment by a third party in connection with your account. You waive your right to dispute any payment made into your account and you will bear all costs.

 

Any attempt to defraud, through the use of credit cards or other methods of payment in connection with your account, or any failure by you to honour charges or requests for payment may result in immediate termination of your account.  In the case of suspected or fraudulent payment, including the use of stolen credentials, by anyone, or any other fraudulent activity, we reserve the right to block your account. We shall be entitled to inform any relevant authorities or entities (including credit reference agencies) of any payment fraud or other unlawful activity and may employ collection services to recover payments.
