In these Terms:
Company, we, us and our mean: Learning Comedy

You and your mean the person accessing the Website and, where applicable, the organisation on whose behalf that person is acting.
By accessing or using the Website, creating an account, placing an order or purchasing a product or service, you agree to these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Website or purchase through it.

you are authorised to act for that organisation
you are authorised to provide the information submitted
you are authorised to enter into the applicable agreement

If you are not authorised to bind the organisation, you must not accept an agreement or place an order on its behalf.

Purchases of comedy course teaching materials are also governed by the applicable:
Independent Licence Agreement
Community Licence Agreement
Institution Licence Agreement
order form, licence schedule or special conditions
Refund and Cancellation Policy
other product-specific terms identified before purchase.
By purchasing or using licensed course materials, you agree to the licence agreement identified on the relevant product page, order form or checkout page.
If there is an inconsistency between documents, the following order of priority applies:
an individually signed agreement or negotiated special conditions
the applicable licence schedule or order form
the applicable product-specific licence agreement
these Website Terms of Service
general promotional or informational website content.
The higher-priority document applies only to the extent of the inconsistency.
The Licensing FAQ is a plain-language guide. It does not replace the applicable licence agreement.
4. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a contract to:
create a purchasing account
accept a licence agreement
purchase a product or service
enter into an agreement on behalf of an organisation.
A person under 18 may use learner resources supplied through an authorised course provider, subject to the arrangements established by that provider.
5. Website accounts
You may be required to create an account to purchase, access or download materials.
You must:
provide accurate and current information
keep your login details secure
restrict account access to authorised persons
notify us if you believe your account has been compromised
update relevant account and contact information when it changes.
You are responsible for activity carried out through your account where that activity results from your failure to take reasonable security precautions.
You must not:
share an individual account with unauthorised users
allow another organisation to use your account
attempt to access another customer’s account
use false or misleading identity or organisation information
interfere with account security controls.
We may reset credentials, suspend access links or take other reasonable security measures where we believe an account or download link has been compromised.
Where practical, we will explain the action taken and help restore legitimate access.
6. Information on the Website
We aim to provide clear and accurate information about:
products and services
licence options
prices
course formats
resource inclusions
purchasing processes
delivery and access arrangements.
Website content is general information and may not address every customer’s circumstances.
Before purchasing, you should review:
the product description
the licence comparison
the applicable licence agreement
pricing information
renewal information
the Refund and Cancellation Policy
any stated technical requirements.
Contact learningcomedy.mail@gmail.com before purchasing if you are unsure which licence or product applies.
7. Educational information
The Website and course materials provide educational content and resources.
Unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement, they do not constitute:
legal advice
regulatory advice
accreditation advice
financial advice
medical or psychological advice
a guarantee of educational compliance
endorsement of a particular provider or program
approval by a regulator, accrediting body or education institution.
You remain responsible for obtaining professional advice appropriate to your circumstances.
8. Course and assessment information
The comedy course assessment materials have been professionally designed for use with CUAWRT401 Write comedy in the Australian vocational education and training context.
They were developed by a qualified instructional designer who holds the TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment and a Master of Education.
This does not mean that the materials are automatically:
accredited
validated for every provider
approved by a regulator
compliant with every institutional requirement
suitable without contextualisation
guaranteed to meet future versions of the unit or regulatory framework.
An education or training provider remains responsible for its own:
mapping
validation
contextualisation
assessment approval
compliance review
trainer and assessor requirements
accessibility and reasonable adjustment
regulatory and institutional obligations.
Formal or accredited use is permitted only under the applicable Institution Licence.
9. Orders
An order is an offer by you to purchase the identified product or service under the terms displayed at checkout.
An order is accepted when we:
issue an order confirmation
issue an invoice that we accept as binding
provide access to the purchased product
sign an applicable agreement
otherwise confirm acceptance in writing.
We may contact you before accepting an order where:
information is incomplete
the selected licence appears inconsistent with the proposed use
institutional procurement information is required
a pricing or technical error is apparent
payment has not been authorised
additional terms need to be agreed.
We will not unreasonably refuse an order.
If we decline an order after receiving payment, we will refund the amount paid unless another lawful arrangement is agreed.
10. Prices
Prices are displayed in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated.
The Website or invoice will state whether:
GST is included
GST is payable in addition
a price is introductory or promotional
a subscription or renewal applies
a multi-year commitment applies.
You are responsible for reviewing the total price before completing the purchase.
We may change prices for future purchases and renewal periods.
A price change will not retrospectively alter the amount payable for an existing fixed-term purchase unless:
the change is required by law
the original price was an obvious error and the order has not yet been accepted
you agree to the change
the applicable agreement expressly permits the adjustment on fair and transparent terms.
11. Payment
Payment may be processed through Squarespace, Stripe, PayPal or another payment provider identified at checkout.
You authorise the relevant payment provider to process the transaction information required to complete your purchase.
We do not control all aspects of third-party payment services.
You must provide accurate payment and billing information.
Where payment is made by invoice, you must pay by the due date shown on the invoice.
A purchase order does not alter these Terms or a licence agreement unless we expressly accept the proposed variation in writing.
Terms printed on a purchase order do not apply solely because we accept, reference or process that purchase order.
12. Failed and disputed payments
If a payment fails or an undisputed invoice remains overdue, we may:
notify you of the payment issue
allow a reasonable period for correction
suspend new downloads or account access after reasonable notice
terminate access if the issue is not remedied.
We will not suspend access solely because of a genuinely disputed amount while both parties are taking reasonable steps to resolve the dispute.
You must not initiate a payment reversal or chargeback dishonestly or without first attempting to resolve a genuine issue with us.
Nothing in this section limits any lawful right to dispute a transaction.
13. Digital delivery
Digital products may be delivered through:
a customer account
a restricted website page
a secure download link
email
a cloud storage service
another method stated at purchase.
You are responsible for:
supplying a valid email address
maintaining access to your account
downloading files during the available access period
using compatible software and equipment
storing downloaded files securely
maintaining your own lawful backup copies.
Contact EMAIL@ADDRESS.COM if you do not receive access within a reasonable time after successful payment.
14. Technical requirements
The Website and downloadable materials may require:
a supported web browser
PDF-reading software
presentation software
word-processing software
spreadsheet software
internet access
sufficient device storage.
We do not guarantee compatibility with every:
device
browser
operating system
software version
learning management system
institutional security environment.
Where a product page identifies a particular file format, you are responsible for confirming that you can use that format.
We will reasonably assist with genuine access or file-corruption issues, but custom conversion or technical implementation may require a separate service.
15. Product updates
We may update, correct or replace downloadable materials.
Updates may address:
errors
outdated examples
broken links
revised references
accessibility improvements
legal or copyright concerns
formatting
usability
educational improvements.
An active licence includes access to updates made available during the applicable licence term.
We do not promise that:
every file will be changed every year
every superseded version will remain available
every third-party link or reference will remain active
updates will be released on a specific date.
Licence holders are responsible for deciding when to adopt an update within an active delivery period and for maintaining any institutional version-control records they require.
16. Refunds and cancellations
Refunds and cancellations are governed by:
our Refund and Cancellation Policy
the applicable licence agreement
any specific terms displayed at purchase
rights and remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.
We do not ordinarily provide a refund solely because:
you change your delivery plans
enrolments are lower than expected
you do not use all the materials
staff or facilitator availability changes
a proposed program does not proceed
you decide the purchase is no longer commercially useful.
This does not exclude any right or remedy available under applicable law.
Contact EMAIL@ADDRESS.COM promptly if:
files are inaccessible or corrupted
you receive the wrong product
a payment is duplicated
the product materially differs from its description
another problem may entitle you to a remedy.
17. Subscriptions and renewals
Where a product has a recurring or renewable term, the purchase page or agreement will identify:
the licence or subscription term
the renewal process
whether renewal is automatic
the renewal price or how it will be determined
how to cancel future renewal.
You are not required to renew unless:
you have expressly accepted automatic renewal
you have entered into a binding multi-year agreement
another written agreement requires renewal or continued payment.
Where automatic renewal applies, we will provide a reasonable method for cancelling future renewal.
A renewal cancellation ends future renewal. It does not ordinarily provide a refund for a licence period that has already begun, except where required by law or expressly agreed.
Licensed teaching use must stop when the applicable licence expires unless it is renewed or extended in writing.
18. Intellectual property in the Website
Unless otherwise stated, we or our licensors own the intellectual property in:

Ending a Website account does not automatically cancel:
an existing order
an outstanding payment
a licence term
a multi-year commitment

We may terminate access where you materially breach these Terms and do not remedy the breach within a reasonable period after written notice.
We may terminate immediately where a breach:
cannot reasonably be remedied

a consumer guarantee
a right or remedy
a warranty
a statutory condition
a liability
that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.

Liability arising under a product-specific licence agreement is governed by the liability provisions in that agreement.

content you submit
material you add to our resources

We may update or change:
Website design
navigation

changes to the Website
new services
changes in law

the applicable agreement allows the change on fair and transparent terms
you expressly accept the change.
Where a material change affects an ongoing account or service, we will take reasonable steps to notify affected users.
40. Confidentiality
Information submitted through ordinary public enquiry forms is not automatically treated as confidential.
If you need to disclose confidential business, assessment or institutional information, contact us first so appropriate arrangements can be considered.
Each party must protect confidential information received under a separate commercial discussion or agreement and use it only for the purpose for which it was supplied.
This section does not prevent disclosure required by law.
41. Dispute resolution
Before commencing court proceedings, a party should give the other party written notice describing:
the dispute
the relevant facts
the outcome sought.

exercising a statutory right
contacting an applicable regulator or consumer body.

43. General provisions
43.1 Independent parties
These Terms do not create a partnership, employment relationship, agency, franchise, fiduciary relationship or joint venture.
43.2 Assignment
You must not transfer a paid account, order or licence to another person or legal entity without our written consent.
We may transfer our rights and obligations as part of a genuine business sale, restructure or transfer of the relevant intellectual property, provided that the transfer does not materially reduce your rights during an existing fixed term.
43.3 Service providers
We may use contractors and technology providers to operate the Website and provide services.
We remain responsible for our own contractual obligations.
43.4 Force majeure
Neither party is liable for delay caused by an event beyond its reasonable control, except for payment obligations already due.
The affected party must take reasonable steps to reduce the impact of the event.
43.5 No waiver
A failure or delay in exercising a right does not waive that right.
43.6 Severability
If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, it is to be read down to the extent necessary.
If it cannot be read down, it is severed without affecting the remaining provisions.
43.7 Entire agreement
For general Website use, these Terms and the policies incorporated by reference constitute the agreement between you and us.
For purchased products, the full agreement also includes the applicable product-specific documents described in section 3.
