You must not use any part of the content on our Site for commercial purposes without obtaining a licence to do so from us or our licensors.

You agree that you will not use our intellectual property rights in any way other than allowed under these Terms and any infringement by you thereof will be a material breach of these Terms.

8. No reliance on information

The content on our Site is provided for general information only. It is not intended to amount to advice on which you should rely. It is your responsibility to ensure that any Services or information available through the Site (either directly or indirectly) meet your specific requirements.

Although we try to make sure the information on our Site is up to date, we cannot always ensure this and as such, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the content on our Site is accurate, complete or up to date.

9. Peer coaching and interacting with your peer coach(es) on the Site

As part of the Services, we provide you with basic training on the principles of ‘peer coaching’ and how to run peer coaching sessions to enable you as a user of the Services to ‘peer coach’ another individual, who is also a Site user and with whom you explicitly agree to be paired up with, and in turn for them to ‘peer coach’ you. You understand and agree that the training we provide is intended solely as guidance and recommendations regarding how to be a ‘peer coach’ yourself as an individual and how, in return, to receive ‘peer coaching’. We make no warranties, express or implied, as to the fitness of the training we provide for any purpose or that the Services will be fit for any purpose. We do not guarantee that you will achieve any specific results as a result of using the Services.

The training we provide does not constitute financial, management or legal advice.

You accept and agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with other users of the Site. You understand that we do not conduct any background checks on our site users or otherwise inquire into the background of our Site users. We make no representations or warranties as to the conduct or compatibility of our Site users or the consequences of any relationship professional or otherwise you or may or may not have with another Site user.

10. Fees and payment‍

If you are accessing our Services as an individual (i.e.: not as part of a company or group that is offering you access to the Services) (a Direct Customer), the fees (“Fees”) for the Services are set out here. You will only be charged the Fees upon being successfully matched with a peer coach and having agreed that you would like to continue with the subsequent Services beyond that point (either in writing via email or by booking on of our introductory Training & Onboarding Workshop).

Time shall be of the essence in respect of the payment of the Fees, any instalment of the Fees and/or any deposit. Payment of the Fees shall be made without deduction, set off or any form of withholding, except as is required by law. You must pay the Fees, which we must receive by way of cleared funds, before you are entitled to receive the Services. You must pay the Fees for the Services in GBP via Chargebee (which uses Stripe as a payment gateway) or bank transfer (following an invoice being raised).

On rare occasions the price of some of our Services may be incorrect on the Site. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the correct price for the Services at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the correct price for the Services at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mis-pricing, we may terminate the contract with you and cancel the order and refund you any sums you have paid.

If your company or group has arranged access to the Services on your behalf (an Indirect Customer), you will not be charged a fee for accessing the Services.

11. Refunds and Cancellation Policy‍

If you are accessing our Services as a Direct Customer, you have 14 days from when you agree to pay the Fees in which to cancel the contract. You will not be charged if you cancel in these 14 days unless you have started to receive some of our subsequent Services (such as have already attended the Training & Onboarding Workshop), in which case we will charge you for the value of what you have received.

In addition, you may also cancel the contract at any time prior to attending the introductory Training & Onboarding Workshop. If you cancel within less than 48-hours of the Training & Onboarding Workshop (which you have booked) being scheduled to take place, you will not be entitled to receive the initial Setup Fee back by way of refund, but we will not charge you any Platform Fees and Ongoing Support Fees and you will have no further liability to us.

To cancel your contract with us please email hello@runyourself.co.

12. Freezing you monthly membership fee‍

In exceptional circumstances, if you are accessing our Services as a Direct Customer, we may be able to freeze your monthly membership. If you would like to request a membership freeze, please contact us at hello@runyourself.co and your request will be dealt with on a case by case basis. Please note that we can only grant membership freezes for up to 6 consecutive months.
