MEMBERSHIP TERMS AND CONDITIONS

I am so pleased you have decided to join one of my membership programmes – please read the following important terms and conditions before you commit to joining, and as part of your membership onboarding.

These membership terms & conditions (the “Terms”) define the terms for your purchase of a membership subscription at Start With You Ltd (the “Membership”).

‘I’, ‘me’ or ‘my’ and ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’ means Start With You Ltd and ‘You’ or ‘your’ means the person buying or using my services and resources.

We are a limited liability company, Start With You Ltd, registered in New Zealand.

Membership Terms

The details of your Membership programme are set out on the webpage where you signed up for the membership and in your membership online portal once you’ve joined.

When signing up for the Membership or using any resources you agree to be legally bound by these terms, by my website terms of use (above) and privacy policy, and specific terms which apply to the membership which may be set out on the webpage for the Membership or in email correspondence between us.

When you sign up for my Membership by clicking the payment link on my site or sales page, or the link I send you by email, you might get an automatic acknowledgment. However, this doesn’t mean you’re officially in the membership yet. I might reach out and, at my discretion, refuse your entry – for instance, if I think the membership isn’t a good fit for you or if there’s been a mistake in the pricing or description. I’m not obliged to provide a reason for this refusal.

The Membership is not suitable for persons under 18 years of age, and by signing up you confirm that you are eighteen 18 years of age or older.

Sometimes, things beyond my control might affect the availability of the membership. If that happens, there could be a delay before I can make it available again. I’ll do my best to minimize the impact of these events, keep you updated on what’s going on, and get things back up and running as soon as possible. These events might include things like illness, IT issues, or problems with hosting providers.

If membership resources or any content added by you or other members aren’t available, get corrupted, deleted, or fail to be stored, I won’t be liable in those situations.

I reserve the right to make changes to the membership from time to time. The availability of the content, as well as platforms and compatible devices, may change from time to time. I also reserve the right to replace or remove any resources and the platforms available to you through the membership, and to otherwise make changes in how I operate it. I may from time to time, with respect to any or all members, offer certain features or other elements of the membership, including promotional features, user interfaces, schedules, pricing, and advertisements.

We use all reasonable endeavours to protect our site, but we are not responsible for any viruses, bugs or similar issues. We advise that you use your own virus protection software to protect yourself.

When you gain access to the resources in the membership, the resolution and quality of the resources you receive will depend on a number of factors, including the type of device you are using and your bandwidth, which may fluctuate during the course of your access. While I use all reasonable endeavours to provide a quality experience, I cannot make any guarantee as to the resolution or technical quality of the content you will receive.

In order to gain access to the resources in the membership, you will need to use a personal computer, portable media player, or other device that meets the system and compatibility requirements of the membership platform and software. From time to time I may change the requirements for compatible devices and, whether a device is (or remains) compatible may depend on software or systems provided by the device manufacturer or other third parties. As a result, devices that are compatible when you sign up may cease to be compatible in the future.

Your responsibilities

You will pay the fees for the Membership in accordance with the Membership description.

Account, Password, and Security: When you sign up for the membership, you’re required to choose a username and password. It’s your responsibility to keep your login information confidential and to handle all activities under your account. You agree to (a) notify me immediately of any unauthorised use or security breaches, and (b) log out at the end of each session. Each registration is for a single user only, and you can’t use another member’s account without my permission.

No Sharing of login details. You may not share, give or sell your login details to any other person or entity. Excessive viewings or logins by any member may be treated as fraudulent use of the membership, in which case it will result in the immediate cancellation of membership without refund. I reserve the right to cancel any membership I believe has been compromised, or is being used fraudulently, at my sole discretion.

Any content you post or submit while you are a member to our site or the platforms we use for the Membership (including any chat platforms or social media groups) is subject to our website terms and conditions, and our Community and Group Forum Guidelines.

You acknowledge it is your responsibility to handle any issues which may arise as a result of your joining the Membership, and whether or not you follow through on any information I provide. Hence, while I fully expect great results to come from your participation in the Membership, I cannot guarantee any specific outcomes or that all members will achieve the same results. The results are entirely dependent on your commitment and the effort you put into the resources I make available.

This Membership and my work does not treat mental disorders and is not a substitute for counselling, therapy, mental health care or medical treatment of any kind. By signing up for the Membership you confirm that you will not use the resources in place of any form of counselling, therapy or medical treatment.

If you are currently receiving treatment from a doctor or other healthcare professional, by agreeing to these terms and conditions and signing up for the membership, you confirm that you have consulted with the person treating you regarding the advisability of signing up for this membership and that this person is aware of and supports your decision to proceed with the membership.

Community and Group Forum Guidelines

The Wisdom Sessions membership circle is a sacred container and so are the online and in-person spaces we share at any time. These guidelines ensure a safe and nurturing community for us all and apply to group calls, membership forums, online chat groups and any other containers we share:

Support and Inspire

This community is about growing ourselves and supporting the upliftment of all. Being actively supportive of one another is a great way to do this. That includes honouring oneself and others, focusing on what works, and sharing inspiration and aspirations. It doesn’t mean providing coaching or advice.

Share growth and wins

You’re encouraged to get comfortable with sharing about what’s going well. Focusing on progress and celebrating progress over perfection are really healthy habits to cultivate. This community is designed to be a safe place to share your wins and celebrate who you are so we can also celebrate who you are.

Be Kind and Courteous

How we each treat one another creates the safety and sacredness of this community. Let’s treat everyone with non-judgement and respect, even when we’re challenged outside our comfort zone. Honesty, healthy boundaries and kindness are encouraged.

Bullying of any kind isn’t allowed, and degrading comments about things like race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity will not be tolerated.

No Promotions or Spam of Offensive Material

Self-promotion, spam and irrelevant links aren’t allowed to be shared. Inappropriate, inaccurate or offensive content may not be posted. We reserve the right to remove any posted content.

Respect Everyone’s Privacy

As per our membership terms for confidentiality, what’s shared in the community should stay in the community.

Fees and payment

The fees for the membership are set out in the membership description.

Membership fees are payable monthly or there may be an option to pay 12 months in advance. The membership fees are billed on a periodic basis as specified at the time of purchase (e.g., monthly or yearly). Your membership subscription will continue on a recurring basis corresponding to the term of your subscription unless and until it is cancelled or discontinued according to the terms of this agreement.

The membership fees are non-refundable except for:

if you are a consumer and have a legal right to a ‘cooling off’ period and
where I cancel your membership and you are entitled to a partial refund for any period of time which you have paid for in advance and during which you will not have access to the membership.

In all other circumstances I am not able to refund to you any of the payments you have made in advance.

Intellectual property

Any materials I provide you with, whether digital or printed, any intellectual property in those materials belongs to me and unless we agree otherwise you can only use those materials for your own personal use and you may not share them with third parties.

The resources in the membership (including the content on any of my websites) are provided for your information and personal use only and (unless I explicitly state or agree otherwise in writing) may not be recorded, reproduced, downloaded, copied, distributed, transmitted, broadcast, displayed, sold or licensed in any way for any other purpose whatsoever.

We will be recording live sessions that I will likely make available to you through the membership. For all such sessions you participate in, you authorise me to use your image and voice in any such recordings (and to make use of such recordings in any way I think fit) without payment, other condition or need for further consent.

Confidentiality

All information you share with me will be kept strictly confidential, except when releasing such information is required by law and/or where I perceive there are concerns of risk to yourself or others and it is deemed necessary.

Where you participate in any group sessions and group forums/chat groups or live events, you agree to keep strictly confidential any information shared by participants in those situations and not to share it with any third parties. You will not use the confidential information of any participant of a group session for your own benefit except with the explicit consent of that participant.

The obligations in the above two clauses will not apply to information which:
has ceased to be confidential through no fault of either party;
was already in the possession of the recipient before being disclosed by the other party; or
has been lawfully received from a third party who did not acquire it in confidence.

It is not permitted to have anyone else join or even listen in on your group calls or any part of the membership programme.

Your and my confidentiality obligations under this clause will continue after termination of this agreement.

Suspension, Termination or Cancellation

Your right to cancel. You may cancel your membership at any time. After you cancel, you will continue to have access to all the resources until the end of the billing cycle. Your membership fees are recurring and your membership must be cancelled 48 hours prior to the renewal date in order to avoid additional membership charges. If you have signed up to a subscription where you pay for several months or a year in advance, that subscription is also recurring and will renew automatically on the expiry date. It is your responsibility to terminate your membership yourself or notify me if you wish to terminate your membership before the renewal date.

You cancel your membership by following the instructions on the website or by contacting us at karen@startwithyou.co. If you wish us to cancel the membership for you, you must let us know at least 48 hours before the renewal date.

I reserve the right to suspend your access to any part of the membership programme, or to terminate your membership if you commit any material breach of the terms of this agreement.

If I terminate your membership and suspend or discontinue your access due to your breach of this contract, then you will not be entitled to any credit, refund or discount in relation to the membership fees already paid by you.

If this contract is ended it will not affect my right to receive any money which you owe to me under this contract and it will not operate to affect any provisions that expressly or by implication survive termination.

Liability

We are in no way able to control the behaviours or conduct of our other clients within or outside of the membership programme and are not responsible and cannot be held liable for any of the behaviours or actions of other clients within the group. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Start With You Ltd for any damages you suffer from any interactions or communications with any other members of this programme.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Start With You Ltd, and affiliated companies, their officers, directors and employees from any and all claims, expenses, costs, demands, suits, judgments or other charges incurred by you as a result of your choice to participate in this membership, as outlined by this agreement. You will not hold Start With You Ltd or its coaches or other employees responsible for any negligent actions or adverse results, whether known or unknown, that you may incur or suffer as a result of the service you receive pursuant to this agreement.

Except for any legal responsibility that I cannot exclude in law (such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence), I am not legally responsible for any:

losses that:
were not foreseeable to you and me when the contract was formed or that were not caused by any breach of these terms on my part.

business losses, including loss of business, loss of profits, loss of management time and loss of business opportunity.

My total liability to you is limited to the amount of fees you have paid for the membership.

Resolving problems and complaints

In the unlikely event that there is a problem with the membership, please contact me as soon as possible and give the opportunity to address any concerns with you and reach a positive outcome.

I may at my option vary or re-perform the services if there is a problem and the terms of this agreement will apply to any re-performed services.

Nothing in this contract affects your legal rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) in New Zealand (also known as ‘statutory rights’). You may also have other rights in law.

Disputes

I shall try to resolve any disputes with you quickly and efficiently.

If you and I cannot resolve a dispute using my internal complaint handling procedure and either of us want to take court proceedings, the relevant courts of New Zealand will have exclusive jurisdiction in relation to this contract.

The laws of New Zealand will apply to this contract.

In the event of a dispute between us, you and I agree not to engage in any conduct or communications, including on social media, designed to disparage each other or my website, products and services.

Entire agreement

These terms constitute the entire agreement between us in relation to your purchase.

Third party rights

No one other than a party to this contract has any right to enforce any term of this agreement.
