Terms and conditions of membership

Members are bound during their membership by these terms and conditions including any amendments made from time to time.

The Leadership Framework Pty Limited reserves the right to change the terms and conditions at any time by posting changes online, so please read these terms and conditions whenever you log in.

1. Membership applications

1.1. Applications for membership will be considered by Leadership Framework Pty Limited who has the right to refuse applications.

1.2. By submitting an application form by email or website, the member is deemed to have signed the application form.

2. Term of membership

2.1. Membership is fixed for a period of one calendar year starting on the day the member joins (the membership period). Membership will be activated at point of approval of the application but payment must be received within 30 days of receipt of the invoice.

2.2. Once memberships are purchased they cannot be cancelled unless otherwise stated in these conditions. No refunds of unexpired memberships will be made.

3. Types of membership

There are two types of memberships, individual members and corporate members.

3.1. Individual membership

3.1.1. Individual membership belongs to the individual and not to an organisation regardless of who pays for the membership. Any dispute arising from this must be resolved by the member and their organisation. Members will be issued with a membership number which should be used when calling us to help identify you quickly.
3.1.2. Individual members may upgrade membership from Manager Level to Executive level at anytime.
3.1.3. A member may upgrade from Manager Level to Executive Level in one of two ways. Either:
(a) During the first month of any 12 month membership, by paying a sum equivalent to the difference between the fees already paid and the amount of fees that would have been due had the member registered at the Executive Level at the start of The Membership Period; or
(b) Alternatively a member may choose to pay the full amount of fees charged for the Executive Level and a new period of 12 months will start from the date of payment of that fee. In this case members will be provided with a refund of the unused portion of the Manager Level of membership.
3.1.4. Members cannot downgrade membership from Executive Level to Manager Level except at the expiry of The Membership Period.
3.1.5. Members are provided with a user identification code and password as part of the Leadership Framework Pty Limited's registration process. Members must treat such information as confidential and must not disclose it to any third party. The Leadership Framework Pty Limited does not permit the sharing of logins or passwords and similarly, no group logins and passwords are permitted. The Leadership Framework Pty Limited has the right to disable any user identification code or password at any time.

3.2. Corporate membership

3.2.1. Corporate membership is intended for employees of the named member company. Parent or other related companies are expected to join in their own right if employees of those companies wish to receive Member benefits, unless otherwise agreed, in writing, with The Leadership Framework Pty Limited.
3.2.2. Corporate members require a named Corporate Member Representative in order to receive all benefits of the membership package. Corporate membership can be transferred to a different representative within the organisation, but The Leadership Framework Pty Limited must be informed of the new representatives contact details.
3.2.3. It is the Corporate Member Representative's responsibility to ensure that details of membership and its benefits are disseminated throughout the membership organisation.
3.2.4. Access to the Leadership Framework website will only be available through the Corporate Member's website/email. Access will not be available through an individual's private computer/email.
3.2.5. Corporate members are responsible for making all arrangements necessary to access The Leadership Framework website subject always to the prohibition on login and password sharing.
3.2.6. Corporate members are also responsible for ensuring that all persons who access Leadership Framework website through the member's internet connection are aware of the Terms and Conditions, and ensure that they comply with them.
3.2.7. Corporate members are responsible to ensure that the users who access The Leadership Framework website via their corporate membership are legitimate users. Corporate members may not add a user who is not an employee of the member organisation.
