Terms of Use

Effective date: 20th September 2024

1. Website Terms

This website (Website) is owned and operated by PassGP (PassGP, we, us, our). Your use of this Website is subject to:

these Terms of Use; and
any other terms, conditions, notices or disclaimers displayed on this Website, (together, the Website Terms).

By accessing and using this Website, by purchasing access to any program or course available through this Website (Course) or by accessing any materials, information or content made available on or through the Website, including with any Course (Materials), you are deemed to accept the Website Terms and agree to be bound by them. If you do not accept the Website Terms, you must immediately stop using this Website and must not purchase access to any Course or use any Materials. Other terms may apply to the use of our products and services in addition to the Website Terms, for example, if we supply you with software to access any Course. The terms supplied with those products and services apply in addition to the Website Terms and prevail to the extent of inconsistency (see also section 18).

As a wholly owned subsidiary of PassGP, PassAMC forms an integral part of the PassGP Group. PassGP is not endorsed by or affiliated with any College.

Please carefully read these terms and contact us if you have any questions. The Terms & Conditions constitute a legally binding agreement between PassGP and its affiliates, partners, divisions ("we," "us," and "our") and you, personally and, if applicable, on behalf of the entity for which you are using this website (collectively, "you," "your," "yours").

2. Amendments to the Website Terms

We may amend the Website Terms from time to time. Amendments will be effective immediately upon the publication of an updated version of the Website Terms on this Website. By continuing to use this Website, you will be deemed to accept the amended Website Terms and agree to be bound by them, except that the terms of your access to any Course or Materials purchased before the Website Terms were amended will remain subject to the Website Terms that applied at the time of your purchase.

3. Registration

We may require you to register with us and establish an account (Account) in order to access some parts of the Website, including any Course or Materials (as further discussed at section 4 below). If you register an Account with us: (i) you must provide accurate and complete information when creating or updating or using your Account; and (ii) you must keep your Account credentials and password secure and confidential. You are responsible for any access to the Website which results from the use of your Account login details, even if the access is by another person.

4. Access to Course Content

Your access to any Course is subject to you registering an Account and paying us the applicable fee for that Course as detailed on this Website (Course Fee). We will nominate a period of time that you will be able to access the relevant Course and associated Materials in return for payment of the Course Fee (Access Term). On our receipt of the Course Fee, you will be given access to the relevant Course and Materials for the Access Term. The Course Fee is payable in advance. Subject to your rights in respect of any Non-Excludable Term, as that term is described in section 15 below, the Course Fee is only refundable in accordance with our Refund Policy. Your continued access to the Course and Materials is subject to your ongoing compliance with the Website Terms. Where a Course specifies a teaching component in the form of coaching and/or individualised tuition, the teaching provision will be capped at a maximum of three (3) hours per Course within the duration of access, unless otherwise explicitly agreed.

If you are not satisfied or unable to use your PassGP subscription for any reason, PassGP has a fully flexible cancellation policy. This is enacted by emailing [email protected], and we will arrange a full refund. Written notice of your cancellation must be received within 7 days of registration of your subscription. After this period, cancellations, transfers, or deferrals will not be accepted.

This clause does not apply to PassAMC subscriptions, where no refund will be payable in all instances of cancellation. This includes cancellation initiated by PassGP.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, and subject to any Non-Excludable Term (as that term is defined in section 15 below):

all representations, warranties, conditions, guarantees, indemnities or undertakings that would be implied in, or affect, these Website Terms by legislation, common law, tort, equity, or by course of performance, dealing, trade, custom or usage are excluded;
neither we nor any person involved in creating, producing or delivering the Website, Courses or Materials is liable to you for losses (whether direct, indirect or consequential), damages, liabilities, charges, expenses, outgoings or costs (including all legal and other professional costs) of any nature or kind which are incurred by you in connection with your access to, use of or reliance on:
the Website, any Course or any Materials; or
any Third Party Application or Third Party Content,
whether in contract, tort (including negligence), statute or otherwise; and
in no event shall we or any person involved in creating, producing or delivering the Website, Courses or Materials be liable for any indirect, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including damages for loss of profits, goodwill, data or other intangible losses that result from the use of, or inability to use, the Website, Courses or any Materials.
Any individual person or any organisation, its officers, associates, employees, contractors and other affiliated bodies accessing PassGP in contravention of the Terms of Use will release, assume and bear all liability for and indemnify and keep indemnified and defend each of PassGP, its officers and its associates from and against all Claims, and all Liability suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Persons. This is included but not limited to any claim under the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth).
The operation of the Law is excluded in relation to all and any rights, obligations and Liabilities arising out of use of PassGP, its Website and Materials which are in violation of the Terms of Use, whether such rights, obligations or Liabilities are sought to be enforced as a breach of contract or claim in tort (including negligence), in equity, under statute or otherwise at Law.

15.Non-Excludable Terms

Nothing in the Website Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy conferred on you by the Australian Consumer Law contained in Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) or any other applicable law that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified by agreement (Non-Excludable Term). To the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability for breach of a Non-Excludable Term is limited, at our option, to: (a) in the case of goods, any one or more of the following: (i) the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods; (ii) the repair of the goods; (iii) the payment of the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods; or (iv) the payment of the cost of having the goods repaired; or (b) in the case of services: (i) the supplying of the services again; or (ii) the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again.

16. Unfair Contract Terms

If, but for this section, a term of the Website Terms, would be deemed “unfair” within the meaning of Part 2-3 of the Australian Consumer Law, then:

such term will be construed, as nearly as possible, to operate without the parts of that term that deem that provision to be “unfair” and, if that is not possible, such provision will be of no effect; and
the balance of the Website Terms will continue unaffected.

17. Indemnity

You indemnify us against all:

claims, actions, proceedings or investigations of any nature or kind (including the allegation or threat of a claim) (Claims); and
losses (whether direct, indirect or consequential), damages, liabilities, charges, expenses, outgoings or costs (including all legal and other professional costs on a full indemnity basis) of any nature or kind (Losses),
suffered or incurred by us that are caused by or arise from: (i) your use of the Website or Materials contrary to these Website Terms or our disclaimers or instructions to you; (ii) our use of Your Content as permitted by these Website Terms; or (iii) any claim by a third party that Your Content infringes the intellectual property rights of any person. Your liability under this indemnity is reduced to the extent that any Claims or Losses covered by the indemnity were caused or contributed to by our proven wilful misconduct.
Any individual person or any organisation, its officers, associates, employees, contractors and other affiliated bodies accessing PassGP in contravention of the Terms of Use will release, assume and bear all liability for and indemnify and keep indemnified and defend each of PassGP, its officers and its associates from and against all Claims, and all Liability suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Persons. This is included but not limited to any claim under the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth).
The operation of the Law is excluded in relation to all and any rights, obligations and Liabilities arising out of use of PassGP, its Website and Materials which are in violation of the Terms of Use, whether such rights, obligations or Liabilities are sought to be enforced as a breach of contract or claim in tort (including negligence), in equity, under statute or otherwise at Law.

18. Inconsistencies

If there is any inconsistency between these Terms of Use and any other terms, conditions, notices or disclaimers displayed on individual pages of this Website (Other Terms), the Terms of Use prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.

19. Governing Law

The Website Terms are governed by the laws in force in the State of Western Australia, Australia. In respect of all matters connected to the Website Terms, you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of that jurisdiction.

20. Miscellaneous

We accept no liability for any failure to comply with the Website Terms where such failure is due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control. If we waive any rights available to us under the Website Terms on one occasion, this does not mean that those rights will automatically be waived on any other occasion. If any part of the Website Terms are held to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal for any reason, the remaining terms and conditions in the Website Terms continue to apply in full force and effect. We may provide notices to you via publishing such notices on this Website, or via the email address associated with your Account (if applicable). Unless otherwise stated, in the Website Terms:

headings are for reference purposes only and do not affect the interpretation of the Website Terms;
a reference to a statute, code or other law includes regulations and other instruments under it and consolidations, amendments, re-enactments or replacements of any of them;
the singular includes the plural, and vice versa; and
“includes”, “including”, “for example”, “such as” and similar terms are not words of limitation.
