If the different parts of this Agreement conflict with each other, the document listed higher in the above list takes priority to the extent of any conflict. 

Buying my Services 

3. Further terms may apply for specific Services

When you buy Services from me, other specific terms may apply as well as these Terms.

For example, Service-specific terms such as how long a course is available or the number of Sessions included in the package you select.

Services or Content provided at no cost

If you access Content I make available on my Site at no cost or book in for a free call with me, I may provide some general information for you.

  • You agree that this information is not tailored for your circumstances and you should use your own judgment and get independent advice to see if it is right for you in your situation.

4. Paying for my Services

  • I won’t start working on your Program until you pay (and may stop working if you haven’t paid).
    • For most Services you buy from me, you pay for them upfront or by instalments.
    • I may offer payment plans for different services
  • If you need extra Services or Out of Scope work on top of the Program inclusions, I’ll let you know the Fees and send you an invoice you’ll need to pay before I start that work.
  • The payment method you choose might have extra conditions from the relevant payment processor or by your bank (e.g. processing fees). Please check the conditions before using your selected payment method. 

Prices

  • Prices on my Sites are in AUD (Australian currency) unless I clearly say otherwise.
  • I might update my prices from time to time. I don’t have to give you notice if I change my pricing.

Out of Scope Work

I do lots of great things, but I don’t do it all. This Program does not include: 

Things I don’t doThings that aren’t included 
Ask me if you need the following and I can recommend someone or arrange it for you separately:
– Website design
– Personal errands or administrative tasks
– Ongoing support or VA work
– Copy review
– Proofreading of any copy (e.g. sales page, emails)
The following items are out of scope and are charged as extras. I’ll let you know the costs before agreeing to complete the work.
– Work outside my stated Alchemy Hours
– Extensive changes to agreed inclusions
– Add on services outside the package inclusions you’ve selected

Alchemy Hours: My standard office hours

My standard office hours when I work my magic are Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm (excluding Public Holidays in New South Wales and April 30 each year)

  • Work required urgently or outside these standard office hours attracts a premium rate. 
  • I’ll let you know the rate before agreeing to complete the work.

Assumptions

You’ll need to make sure you have the following in place: 

  • You will need to ensure you complete the relevant tasks I assign to you in a timely way (such as giving me access to your systems and answering questions I ask you). 
  • Your Program might be delayed or incomplete if you don’t provide timely and full responses.

5. Cancelling or rescheduling your Program and Sessions

Lots of my different Service Packages include access to Sessions, such as coaching and collaborative discussions. I know sometimes things happen which mean you might need to reschedule a Session or shift the timeframe for a Program. 

A Program is how I talk about a package of various services I might bundle and deliver to you. It might be a once-off project package – such as a Systemised Power Session or an ongoing course such as CEO Ignited with various services included. 

  • If you need to change a Session or Program timeframes, please let me know as soon as you can. This allows me to offer the Session to others, reschedule your Session, and book new Programs.
    • Change Notice – Session: I need at least 48 hours’ notice via my scheduling application to reschedule Sessions.
    • Change Notice – Program: I need at least 14 days notice via email to reschedule a Program.
    • Cancellation Fee (outside Change Notice): 50% x Fee
    • Late Notice Fee: AU$250
    • No show: You are not entitled to a refund and must pay the full Fees if you do not attend a Session without giving me the required Change Notice.
    • Late show: If you arrive late, I still end Sessions at the scheduled time to respect other Clients.
  • If I need to change a Session or Program timeframes, I will aim to give you as much notice as I can in the circumstances and, where possible, minimise disruption to your Program.

6. Resolving issues  

Let’s talk to resolve your issue

  • I always aim for happy Clients, so if you have any questions, let me know so I can help fix things!
  • If you are a consumer, you have certain rights under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), and nothing in these Terms excludes your rights to Consumer Guarantees.
  • If I give you access to digital download or other Content, unless I’ve completely underdelivered on what I promised, you generally aren’t entitled to a refund.
  • If a refund is required by law, I’ll provide that refund. 
  • In other situations, I may choose to offer refunds at my discretion. I may decide to refund a portion of Fees already paid, less reasonable costs incurred for Content accessed or Services delivered and / or administrative costs.

Results and expectations

11. Results from my Services 

Your results depend on many different factors

I cannot and do not guarantee particular business outcomes for buying my Services. Business outcomes depend on many different factors including:

  • current process and business knowledge, systems implementation (in-house or using external parties), market factors, changes in technology,
  • your ability and willingness to follow and implement my recommendations,
  • resources, systems, and team members you have available to implement strategy,
  • accuracy and completeness of information you provide me, and other factors.

12. I use reasonable care + skill

I use reasonable care and skill to deliver Services to you, however you agree that:

  • I cannot and do not promise my Services or Content will be continuously available or fault free;
  • If things outside my reasonable control impact on my ability to supply the Service, you agree I am not responsible for impacts on you as a result; and

For example, if you or your team don’t complete tasks assigned on time or misinterpret my advice so the automations I create cannot be finalised or do not work, I’m not responsible for that outcome.

  • Services and related content are provided in good faith, based on information you provide me, and you are responsible for your use of my Services.
  • You understand that changes in your chosen software platform features or service plan tier, number of team members, services you offer, strategic developments in your chosen market. and other factors might mean my strategic advice is no longer accurate or as impactful as intended, despite my best efforts.

For example, if you or your team give me incorrect process steps when providing background information, and I rely on that information to provide you strategy or build automations,  then I’m not responsible for incorrect process flows or extra services that might be needed to correct the error.

13. Paying for losses and limiting liability

If you cause me loss, you’ll need to compensate me 

  • You must pay me for any loss you cause me that arises from your use of the Site or your breach of these Terms (such as misusing my Content).

To the extent allowed by law, you must pay for costs I incur caused or contributed to by:

  • inaccurate or misleading info you give me, 
  • your breach of these Terms or my other policies,
  • your breach of any applicable laws or regulations, or 
  • your use or misuse of Services or my Content. 

For example, if you misuse my Content by re-selling it or claiming it as yours and I suffer loss, you will need to pay me for that loss.

Limiting my liability to you

Nothing in these Terms restricts consumer laws that may apply to your purchase of my products and services. 

  • To the extent allowed by law, I exclude all liability for claims by you or a third party for all forms of loss or damage, including loss or inaccuracy of data or loss of business profits or revenue.
  • Unless I directly cause your loss through negligence or wilful misconduct, I am not responsible for loss from you using my Site, products, or services (or inability to use).
  • Where I can’t exclude liability, my total liability to you is limited to me re-supplying the relevant Service to you or, if applicable, paying to you the cost of paying someone to re-supply the relevant Services to you.
