The terms and conditions set out in this document ("Terms") govern your access to, and use of, the Site, as well as any application for enrolment, subscription, or order of products or services that you lodge through the Site.

By continuing to access Men’s School or our website you are agreeing to comply with and be bound by the following terms and conditions of use, which together with the privacy policy, govern Men’s School’s relationship with you. The term ‘you’ refers to the user or viewer of our website and/or member.

We may vary these Terms, for any reason, at any time and without notice. It is your responsibility to periodically check our website for changes. If you disagree with any part of these terms and conditions, please do not use this website or sign up for a membership.

Memberships

Men’s School content, courses, and events are developed and conducted for adults seeking non-award short courses, active learning experiences, and educational content.

We offer three different lengths of membership (3, 6, or 12 months) as a one-off payment.

Memberships do not auto-renew at the end of the membership term; you must re-apply for membership if your current membership period expires.

Please ensure you carefully review the membership description and inclusions on our website before applying and contact us if you have any enquiries. If you choose incorrectly or change your mind, our standard terms and conditions apply.

Your email details will be entered into our secure database upon signing up to a membership. If you prefer not to receive email updates, then please unsubscribe from further communication.

Occasionally photos or video may be taken of the events for promotional work. Please advise at the time if you do not wish to be photographed or filmed.

We accept membership applications from adults 18 years of age and over.

Acceptance, rejection, and withdrawal by us

Your membership, course, or event registration is subject to acceptance by Men's School. Men's School may in its absolute discretion refuse to accept your registration.

For each application or order we accept, we agree to enrol you in the relevant course or supply the relevant product or service to you, in accordance with the Terms.

Fees and charges

All fees and charges identified in these Terms and all prices for the courses, products, and services include GST where applicable.

We may vary prices for memberships, courses, products, and services from time to time without notice. Subject to these Terms, we will not increase the amount payable by you for the relevant courses, products, or services once we have accepted your application or order.

A full refund of membership fees paid will be provided if notice of cancellation (made in writing by email addressed to info@mensschool.co) is received within 5 working days of our receipt of your payment.
