Billing
  1. Annual subscriptions paid by monthly instalments will be paid in advance by direct debit of your credit card each month on the first day of your billing cycle, which commences on the first day of your subscription (after any trial period). The annual subscription commences after the trial concludes and does not include the trial period.
  2. Annual subscriptions paid annually will be paid in advance by direct debit of your credit card on the first day of your billing cycle, which commences on the first day of your subscription (after any trial period). The annual subscription commences after the trial concludes and does not include the trial period.
  3. Annual subscriptions paid annually for the “Support” or “Partner” levels may be paid by invoice. If the “pay annually” and “invoice us” options are chosen for these two levels, we will issue you with an invoice that is due within seven (7) days or on the first day following the end of the trial period, whichever is the longest time period. If this invoice is unpaid the Services will not be delivered and no further trial period will be provided in the future. The annual subscription commences after the trial concludes and does not include the trial period.
  4. If you have received a free 10-day trial, your payments will automatically commence on the first day following the end of the trial period. This will be the 11th day following the commencement of the trial period.
  5. If your subscription includes a 10-day trial period you have agreed to commence an annual subscription (paid annually or monthly) commencing the first day after the end of your trial period unless you cancel the trial period by midnight Australian Eastern Standard Time on the final day of the 10-day trial period.
  6. Cancellation of the trial period must be through the member portal on the Site.
  7. If any of your details change, including address, payment details or contact information, it is up to you to correct these details on your member portal on the Site. If you cannot, you must notify us by email of these changes.
  8. If your payment method fails to complete the payment, we will attempt to complete the payment up to four (4) subsequent times within the following seven (7) days. After this time, if the payment continues to fail we will terminate your subscription and no refund will be provided for the unused portion of time. If you are paying by monthly instalments you will still be liable for the balance of those months still to be paid. You will be able to resume your subscription once you have provided us with updated payment details and payment recommences. In this instance, time lost will not be made up and your original subscription end date (and therefore renewal date) will remain the same.
  9. At any time you are able to upgrade your subscription level or add an elective, however this will be considered the commencement of a new 12-month subscription, as each level offers different resources over the year of subscription. In this situation, all resources, training, support or events that were a part of the original subscription – used or unused – will cease and those offered at the new level will replace them. No credits will be offered for resources or Services that were unused under the original subscription level.
  10. Any upgraded subscription will be effective from the next billing cycle if the original subscription level was being paid by monthly instalments. If the original subscription level was being paid annually, a credit will be issued for the unused portion of the original level on pro-rata time basis (each month being a twelfth of the total amount), against the annual subscription for the new upgraded level, and you will be invoiced the difference. The new subscription will commence from the next billing cycle subject to payment of the invoice by that date.
  11. Subscription levels cannot be downgraded until the completion of the annual subscription.
