      You must provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and keep your Herrmann Account up-to-date at all times.

      We will send all communications to the address you nominate. Therefore, it is essential you keep all contact and address details current. We may communicate with you by email.

      You may not register more than one (1) Herrmann Account unless we authorise you to do so. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your Herrmann Account to another party.

      You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Herrmann Account credentials and may not disclose your credentials to any third party. You must immediately notify us if you know or have any reason to suspect that your credentials have been lost, stolen, misappropriated, or otherwise compromised or in case of any actual or suspected unauthorised use of your Herrmann Account. You are liable for any and all activities conducted through your Herrmann Account unless you do not authorise such activities, and you are not otherwise negligent (such as failing to report the unauthorised use or loss of your credentials).

      Invoicing and payments

      Payment

      You must pay our fees within 14 days of receiving a tax invoice from us unless the payment terms provide otherwise on the invoice. The payment of the fee constitutes full payment for the provision of the relevant Products and Services.

      If your account is on COD terms, you must pay us all monies owed before we will supply you with the ordered Products and Services.

      You acknowledge that certain credit card payments or bank transactions may attract a surcharge, transaction fee or other charge. You acknowledge and agree that we may charge you an amount equal to this cost imposed on us (if any). You are also responsible for the payment of any fees, charges or costs in relation to any exchange rate applicable.

      Unless otherwise stated, payment obligations are non-cancellable and any fees paid are non-refundable.

      Automatic Payments

      An Automatic Payment is a payment that we will automatically charge directly to your nominated credit card upon the due date of the tax invoice. You have the option to select Automatic Payments by choosing payment via Credit Card on a transaction. If not previously saved in your My Account, you will be required to provide your credit card details to us at the time of the transaction.

      You can update or change your credit card details at any time in My Account.

      Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, you hereby expressly consent to, authorise and instruct Herrmann to deduct the Automatic Payment from your nominated credit card for the tax invoice amount on the due date stipulated in the applicable tax invoice. You acknowledge that you are giving us the ability to collect our fees automatically when they become due and payable.

      You are responsible for ensuring that you have sufficient funds in your credit card available to make Automatic Payments on the due date specified in the tax invoice. You are liable for any fees or charges imposed by your nominated credit card. You hereby consent to us attempting to process the payment again if it is not successfully processed on the due date.

      If an Automatic Payment fails (for example, if your nominated credit card is a card that has expired), interest may apply unless you otherwise make payment immediately upon request or provide us with updated credit card details.

      Certification Workshop Bookings

      • Your workshop registration is not confirmed until FULL payment is received.
      • If your payment is not received before the ‘Getting Started Session’, you cannot attend and will be deferred to the next available workshop.
      • Full payment is due by the invoice due date.
      • Deferrals and cancellations are permitted until 15 days before your scheduled workshop’s ‘Getting Started Session’. There will be no fee for this.
      • Deferrals less than 14 days before the ‘Getting Started Session’ and at any time throughout the program will incur a rebooking fee of 25%. This will be invoiced when rebooking.
      • Cancellations between 7 and 14 days before the ‘Getting Started Session’ will incur a fee of 25%. If the invoice is paid, this will be deducted from any refunds.
      • Cancellations 6 days or less before the ‘Getting Started Session’ will not be refunded.
      • Your status as a Certified Practitioner will not be active until your invoice is fully paid.

      Last-Minute Engagements

      If we are requested to provide a Product and/or Service (including the provision of a “Herrmann Direct Workshop”), and that request is made within seven (7) days or less from the Engagement Date, that request is deemed to be a “Last Minute Engagement”.

      If a Last Minute Engagement arises, you must immediately pay us a non-refundable deposit equal to 50% of the total Products and/or Services to be provided to you. We will not start any work in relation to the Products and/or Services (including sourcing appropriate practitioners) until we receive the relevant deposit amount or you provide us with evidence demonstrating that the deposit has been paid. The balance of any amount owing for the Products and/or Services will be payable in accordance with our standard terms of payment.

      Cancellations

      If you choose to cancel a Last Minute Engagement prior to us providing the Products and/or Services, the deposit will not be returned to you.

      If you cancel any other engagement with us ten (10) days or less from the scheduled Engagement Date, then you will pay us 50% of the fees for the Products and/or Services that would have been provided had you not otherwise cancelled. Any amount owing in relation to a cancelled engagement will be due and payable in accordance with our standard terms of payment (and as set out in our Tax Invoice issued to you).

      Expenses

      You will reimburse us with any out-of-pocket expenses which are reasonably incurred in providing Products and Services subject to us:

      • first obtaining the approval for the expenditure from you; and
      • when claiming an expense, producing documentary evidence satisfactory to you.

      No set-off

      In the event of a payment dispute:

      • you may not set off, deduct or withhold payment of the fee on any basis; and
      • if you dispute the whole or part of any claim by us for payment, then you must pay the amount claimed by us and initiate the dispute resolution process in relation to any amount disputed.

      Late Payments & Interest

      If our account remains unpaid, or you do not pay money in advance that we have requested, we may stop work until we are paid and impose interest on the unpaid amount at the rate of 10% per annum (calculated on a daily basis).

      A failure to comply with the payment terms is deemed to be a material breach of these Terms.

      If you default in payment of the fee or any other amount owing to us, we may, at our absolute discretion, initiate legal proceedings against you to recover:

      • the unpaid fee;
      • interest at the pre-judgment interest rate which applies at the time, which will accrue from the date on which the amount becomes due up until the date on which the amount is paid in full by you;
      • our costs (including legal costs on a solicitor-client basis) and expenses incurred as a result of your default and in enforcing the Terms, or such quantum adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction,

      without giving notice and without affecting any other right that Herrmann has under these Terms or at law.

      GST

      Australia

      In this clause, the expressions Consideration, Recipient, Supply, Tax Invoice and Taxable Supply have the meanings given to those expressions in the Goods and Services Tax Act 1985 (GST Act) and GST means goods and services tax chargeable in accordance with the GST Act.

      Unless otherwise expressly stated, all prices or other sums payable or Consideration to be provided under or in accordance with these Terms are exclusive of GST.

      Payment of GST:

      • If GST is imposed on any Supply made under or in accordance with these Terms, the Recipient of the Taxable Supply must pay to the Supplier an additional amount equal to the GST payable on or for the Taxable Supply, subject to the Recipient receiving a valid Tax Invoice in respect of the Supply at or before the time of payment.
      • Payment of the additional amount must be made at the same time as payment for the Taxable Supply is required to be made in accordance with these Terms.

      If the amount of GST recovered by the Supplier from the Recipient of the Supply differs from the amount of GST payable at law by the Supplier in respect of the Supply, the amount payable by the Recipient of the Supply to the Supplier will be adjusted accordingly. If subdivision 38-E of the GST Act applies, then any Supply to a non-resident recipient will be GST-free.

      Dispute Resolution

      We are committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part process:

      • an informal negotiation directly with us, and
      • if, 30 days after the date the dispute arises we fail to settle the dispute, a referral to mediation, with a mediator chosen by both of us.

      If the Parties cannot agree on the identity of the mediator or the location and date, and time of the mediation, the Parties will request the president for the time being of the Law Society of New South Wales to nominate a mediator and the location and date and time of the mediation.

      The cost of the mediator and the mediation (apart from each Party’s legal costs) will be borne equally between the Parties to the dispute.

      If the Parties fail to resolve the dispute by mediation in accordance with this section, then the Parties are free to institute legal proceedings through the Courts.

      You agree to cooperate and act in good faith. Neither party will disparage or denigrate the other.

      You must not make any public statements in relation to a dispute without the prior written consent of Herrmann. You acknowledge the importance of maintaining public confidence in the integrity of the 9Herrmann Platform and the Products and Services provided.

      This clause will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop using the Herrmann Platform or your Herrmann Account is terminated.

      Confidential Information

      Each Party (Receiving Party) receiving, possessing or otherwise acquiring Confidential Information of any other Party (Disclosing Party) acknowledges that the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information is the property of, confidential to or a trade secret of the Disclosing Party.

      Confidential Information means all information belonging or relating to a Party, whether oral, graphic, electronic, written or in any other form, that is:

      • not generally available to the public at the time of disclosure other than by reason of a breach of this Agreement.

      The Receiving Party must:

      • keep the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information confidential and not directly or indirectly disclose, divulge or communicate that Confidential Information to, or otherwise place that Confidential Information at the disposal of, any other person without the prior written approval of the Disclosing Party;
      • take all reasonable steps to secure and keep secure all the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information coming into its possession or control;
      • use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that any third party receiving Confidential Information from it does not disclose that information except in the circumstances permitted within these Terms;
      • only use the Confidential Information of the Receiving Party to the extent necessary to perform its obligations under these Terms;
      • not memorise, modify, reverse engineer or make copies, notes or records of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than in connection with, and to the extent required for, the performance by the Receiving Party of its obligations under these Terms; and
      • the Receiving Party will indemnify the Disclosing Party and its personnel (if any) against any loss or damage suffered by the Disclosing Party as a result of a breach of any of the obligations of confidentiality contained in these Terms.

      The obligations of confidentiality listed above do not apply to any information that is:

      • or becomes generally available to the public (other than by reason of a breach of these Terms);
      • required to be disclosed by law; or
      • disclosed for the purposes of obtaining legal or accounting advice regarding these Terms.

      The Receiving Party must, on the request of the Disclosing Party, immediately deliver to the Disclosing Party all Confidential Information which is in its possession, power or control, or in the possession, power or control of persons who have received Confidential Information from the Receiving Party.

      The provision of these Terms regarding Confidential Information will be in addition to and not in derogation of any of the common law rights of the Disclosing Party with respect to the Confidential Information.

      If you or we terminate the agreement, the clauses of these Terms of Use that reasonably should survive termination will remain in effect.

      • details of the obligations affected by it and the extent to which they are affected;
      • an estimate of its likely duration; and

      A Party who has given notice of a Force Majeure Event under this clause must:

      • use its reasonable endeavours to remove, overcome or minimise the effects of that Force Majeure Event as quickly as reasonably possible; and
      • keep the other Party regularly informed as to the steps or actions being taken to achieve this.

However, the duration of statutorily required warranties, if any, shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. A Party’s liability for any claim in connection with these Terms will not extend to any indirect or consequential loss.

        Your sole remedy for a defective provision of the Products and Services to you under an Order shall be the correction of such deficiency.

        General Provisions

        Severance

        No Waiver

        Herrmann’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing.
