Sisterhood Club Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: July 2023

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement ("Agreement") between you and Sisterhood Club Pty Ltd ACN 658 373 329 trading as Sisterhood Club governing your access to and use of the Sisterhood Club website with URL address http://www.sisterhoodclub.io and any other websites and sub-domains through which Sisterhood Club makes its services and functions available, our mobile tablet and other smart device applications ("Application") and application program interfaces (collectively referred to as the “Platform”). Our Non-Discrimination Policy, Non-Coercion Policy, Content Policy, and other policies applicable to your use of the Platform are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

The term ‘Sisterhood Club' or ‘us’ or ‘our’ or ‘we’ refers to Sisterhood Club Pty Ltd ACN 658 373 329, the owner of the Platform. The term ‘you’ or ‘your’ refers to any person using or accessing the Platform (whether Member, User, or Mentor as context requires).

By continuing to use the Platform, you agree with the terms of our Privacy Policy and any and all payment processing through or in connection with your use of the Platform ("Payment Services") which are provided to you by one or more Sisterhood Club Payments entities (individually and collectively as appropriate "Sisterhood Club Payments") as set out in the Payments Terms and Service Fees ("Payments Terms"). Our collection and use of personal information in connection with your access to and use of the Platform is governed by our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree with any of these terms and conditions, you must not use the Platform.

Platform Conditions

Online Presence for Members

The Platform is an online presence providing and enabling various tools, services, features, and functions that enable:

  • Registered users (“Users”) to interact with other Users and participate in Sisterhood Club by viewing materials and courses
  • Registered mentors ("Mentors") to connect directly with mentees to provide guidance and support in their professional development.

Users and Mentors are “Members”.

Relationship between Members and Sisterhood Club

As the provider of the Platform, Sisterhood Club does not own, create, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any mentoring services directly. Mentors alone are responsible for their mentoring services. Sisterhood Club is not and does not become a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between Members or between Mentors and third parties, nor is Sisterhood Club an insurer or broker.

Sisterhood Club is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member except as specified in the Payments Terms.

Resolution of Disputes

While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes, Sisterhood Club has no control over and does not guarantee:

  • The existence, authenticity, quality, fitness for purpose, suitability, or legality of any mentoring service;
  • The identity of Mentors or Users or whether the Member is trustworthy, safe, or suitable;
  • The truth or accuracy of any Ratings, Reviews, or other Member Content; or
  • The performance or conduct of any Member or third party.

No Endorsement or Verification

Sisterhood Club does not endorse any Member or mentoring service. Any references to a Member being "verified" (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification or identification process and nothing else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification, or guarantee by Sisterhood Club about any Member, including the Member's identity or background or whether the Member is trustworthy, safe, or suitable.

You should always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to communicate and interact with other Members or Mentors, whether online or in person.

Relationship

If you choose to use the Platform as a Member, your relationship with Sisterhood Club is limited to being an independent third-party contractor and not an employee, agent, joint venturer, or partner of Sisterhood Club for any reason, and you act exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit and not on behalf or for the benefit of Sisterhood Club.

Use of Member Content

To promote the Platform and to increase the exposure of the mentoring services to potential Members, Member Content may be displayed on other websites, in applications, within emails, and in online and offline advertisements.

To assist Members who speak different languages, Member Content may be translated in whole or in part into other languages. Sisterhood Club cannot guarantee the accuracy or quality of such translations, and Members are responsible for reviewing and verifying the accuracy of such translations.

The Platform may contain translations powered by Google or other language translation providers. Google and other language translation providers disclaim all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties for merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Links to Third-Party Services

The Platform may contain links to third-party websites or resources (“Third-Party Services”). Such Third-Party Services may be subject to different terms and conditions and privacy practices. Sisterhood Club is not responsible or liable for the availability or accuracy of such Third-Party Services or the content, products, or services available from such Third-Party Services. Links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by Sisterhood Club of such Third-Party Services.

Availability of Platform

Due to the nature of the Internet, Sisterhood Club cannot guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability and accessibility of the Platform. Sisterhood Club may restrict the availability of the Platform or certain areas or features thereof if this is necessary in view of capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of the Platform. Sisterhood Club may improve, enhance, and modify the Platform and introduce new Platform features from time to time at its sole discretion.

Use of the Platform

Legal Capacity

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into legally binding contracts to access and use the Platform and register an Account. By accessing or using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older and have the legal capacity and authority to enter into this Agreement.

Use of Platform by Sisterhood Club

Sisterhood Club may make access to and use of the Platform or certain areas or features of the Platform subject to certain conditions or requirements, such as completing a verification process, meeting specific quality or eligibility criteria, meeting Ratings or Reviews thresholds, or other factors.

No Responsibility for Member Identity

User verification on the Internet is difficult, and we do not assume any responsibility for the confirmation of any Member’s identity. Notwithstanding the above, for transparency and fraud prevention purposes, and as permitted by applicable laws, we may but have no obligation to:

  • Ask Members to provide a form of identification or other information or undertake additional checks designed to help verify the identities or backgrounds of Members and Mentors;
  • Screen Members against third-party databases or other sources and request reports from service providers; and
  • Where we have insufficient information to identify a Member, obtain reports from public records of criminal convictions (if available).

Additional Terms and Conditions

Access to or use of certain areas and features of the Platform may be subject to separate policies, standards, or guidelines, or may require that you accept additional terms and conditions. If there is a conflict between these Terms and terms and conditions applicable to a specific area or feature of the Platform, the later terms and conditions will take precedence with respect to your access to or use of that area or feature unless specified otherwise.

Modification of these Terms

Modification to Terms

Sisterhood Club reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time in accordance with this clause. If we make changes to these Terms, we will post the revised Terms on the Platform and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms. We will also provide you with notice of the modifications by email at least thirty (30) days before the date they become effective.

Your Right of Termination

If you disagree with the revised Terms, you may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect. We will inform you about your right to terminate the Agreement in the notification email. If you do not terminate your Agreement before the date the revised Terms become effective, your continued access to or use of the Platform will constitute acceptance of the revised Terms.

Account Registration

Member Registration of Account

You must register an account ("Account") to access and use certain features of the Platform, such as viewing Content or participating in mentoring sessions. If you are registering an Account for a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to legally bind that entity and grant us all permissions and licenses provided in these Terms.

Linking to Social Media Account

You can register an Account using an email address and creating a password or through your account with certain third-party social networking services such as Facebook or Google ("SNS Account"). You have the ability to disable the connection between your Account and your SNS Account at any time by accessing the "Settings" section of the Platform.

Member's Obligation to Provide Accurate Information

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

Multiple Member Accounts

You may not register more than one Account unless Sisterhood Club authorizes you to do so. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your Account to another party.

Member Responsible for Confidentiality

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Account credentials and may not disclose your credentials to any third party. You must immediately notify Sisterhood Club 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 unauthorized use of your Account. You are liable for any and all activities conducted through your Account unless such activities are not authorized by you and you are not otherwise negligent (such as failing to report the unauthorized use or loss of your credentials).

Authorisation of Other Members

Sisterhood Club may enable features that allow you to authorize other Members or certain third parties to take certain actions that affect your Account. For example, we may allow individuals associated with a company to purchase for other Members. These features do not require that you share your credentials with any other person. No third party is authorized by Sisterhood Club to ask for your credentials, and you shall not request the credentials of another Member.

Member Content Control

Sisterhood Club may, at its sole discretion, enable Users to:

  • Create, upload, post, send, receive, and store content such as text, documents, photographs, audio, video, or other materials and information on or through the Platform ("Member Content"); and
