Please note that additional terms and conditions govern the sale of other products and services on our Website.

Payments, Refunds and All that Fun Money Stuff
eCommerce
While we take every care to make sure our online store on the Website is accurate and up to date, we’re only human and from time to time, mistakes may occur (for example, a pricing error).
Please note that when you submit an order through the Website, no agreement is formed until we process and accept your order and send you a confirmation. If there’s been a technical error leading to your order, we may choose not to fill the order, but we’ll be sure to contact you to discuss your options (for example, placing an order at the correct price).
Term of Membership
The term of each Thrivalist Membership is for the period that you opted to pay for starting on your purchase date and will be automatically renewed for successive periods of the same durations, unless you cancel prior to the expiration of your current membership term (See “Cancellation Policy” below). If you do not notify us of your desire to cancel your Membership prior to the commencement of a renewal term, you understand that your membership will automatically renew and you authorise us to collect the annual membership fee, biannual membership fee, or the next monthly fee, as applicable, based on the same method of payment used for the prior membership term.
Trial Period
Your trial period begins upon registration and lasts for a duration of seven (7) days, during which you will have access to our services. During the trial period, you’ll have full access to all features and functionalities of our services, allowing you to explore and evaluate their suitability for your needs.
Cancel Trial: You may cancel your trial at any time during the seven-day period without incurring any charges. To cancel, simply contact our customer support team at [email protected] or login and cancel within the Manage Your Subscription section.
Automatic Trial: If you do not cancel before the end of the trial period, your account will automatically convert to a paid subscription, and your selected payment method will be charged accordingly.
Billing: Upon the conversion to a paid subscription, you agree to abide by our billing terms and pricing policies, as outlined in our standard terms and conditions.
Data Retention: Any data or content you create or upload during the trial period will be retained in accordance with our privacy policy, even if you choose not to continue with a paid subscription.
Limitations: The trial period is intended for evaluation purposes only. We reserve the right to limit or restrict access to certain features or functionalities during the trial period, at our discretion.
Payment Terms
You can pay for your Membership either in one lump sum annual payment, one lump sum 6-month payment, or one monthly payment at the time of your purchase, which will start after your 7 day trial. Fees for renewal periods will be charged to you at the beginning of each renewal term.
Payment
You agree to pay us the price listed on our Website (subject of course to the proviso above, in the case of accidental errors and omissions) to purchase access to the Membership in the amounts, currencies and at the time as set out on the Website. You may pay for your order via any method of payment available on our Website from time to time.
If you are paying for the Membership by credit or debit card, you give us permission and authorization to automatically charge your credit or debit card as payment for the Membership. You will receive an electronic receipt. For any installment payment, you give us permission to automatically charge your credit or debit card at the time it is due without any additional authorization.
You acknowledge and agree that your payment in full in cleared funds is a condition of this Agreement, any breach of which will entitle us to terminate this Agreement immediately. If a request for payment is returned or denied by your financial institution or is unpaid by you for any other reason, then you’ll be liable for any associated costs incurred by us, including banking fees and charges.
If a payment due to us is not made for any reason, this amounts to a breach of this Agreement, which will entitle us to suspend or limit your access to the Membership until the payment is made and/or to terminate this Agreement immediately on notice to you.
In making a payment, you warrant to us that you’ve read and agreed to the terms of any third-party payment gateway or processor (such as Stripe or PayPal), which are available on their respective websites. You understand that these services are provided by third parties and are made available to you on our Website for convenience only. We’re not responsible for any issues, loss or damage arising out of those facilities. If you have an issue with a third-party provider on our Website, please contact them directly.
We may vary our prices from time to time. You agree and acknowledge that we may do so at any time on notice, and that such notice is given by us posting the updated price on our Website.
If you fail to pay us for an order, or if an insolvency event occurs in relation to you (for example, if you commit an act of bankruptcy or become insolvent), we may terminate this Agreement.
Refunds
For full details on cancellations and refunds, please see our Refund & Cancellation Policy.
Discounts
We may offer discounts from time to time. Please note that discounts are not available in conjunction with any other offer (for example, if we have two promotions on offer at the same time, you can only apply one discount to a purchase, not both). Discounts are available for the stated time, or else for a period of seven (7) days from the date that the offer was first made (whichever occurs first). We reserve the right to revoke any discount offer at any time without notice.

Privacy and Confidentiality

We know that privacy is important when opening up about your struggles with alcohol.
We are committed to respecting your privacy.
Thrivalist will not share any information you share with us without obtaining your prior permission (for example, a testimonial). If you’re worried about disclosing personal details to the group, you can choose to sign up to the Membership using an alias.
The group call recordings are stored in a Cloud-based server for one (1) week before being deleted. There is no public record of any member information.
You can read more about the way that we collect, manage, and store your personal and sensitive information in our Privacy Policy, available on our Website.
Confidentiality
Our Membership is designed to be a safe space for all members to share openly and honestly.
It is an essential term of this Agreement that you agree to keep all Member information (Member Confidential Information) strictly confidential and do not share it with any other person.
Member Confidential Information that falls within the scope of this clause includes (but is not limited to):
- the name and contact details of each Member
- any image, likeness or description of a Member (without limitation to the above, taking screenshots or photos of Members in a videoconference call is strictly prohibited)

You warrant to us that you will not use or disclose any Member Confidential Information or Our Confidential Information other than as set out in this clause.
In the event of a breach or threatened breach by you of this clause, you acknowledge we will be irreparably harmed, and monetary damages will be an insufficient remedy. Accordingly, you consent to enforcement of this clause by means of temporary or permanent injunction and other appropriate legal or equitable relief in any competent court.
You agree the restrictions set out in this clause are reasonable and necessary to protect our goodwill and reasonable commercial interests.
This clause survives the expiry or termination for any reason of this Agreement.

If you agree to provide us with a testimonial, and you agree to us using your image, you grant us permission to use and reproduce your name (or alias), photograph or likeness, as well as evidence of services delivered and results achieved to promote our business.

We love it when you post about our Membership on social media. If you do share images or videos (or any other depiction whatsoever) of our services on your social media (“Posts”), you provide to us your express and unconditional consent to share your Posts on our social media. We will of course provide appropriate attribution to you (through tagging you or other appropriate means) when reposting your Posts.
Non-Disparagement

This clause survives termination of this Agreement.
Not a Medical Service
Advice, Information, and Instructional Content
Our Membership has been designed by life coaches as a holistic and evidence-based way of educating and supporting you in your journey to changing your relationship with alcohol in an empowered way. However, it’s important to note that we are not licensed medical practitioners.
Throughout the Membership, we may give you advice, recommendations, information, instruction, or assistance in relation to improving your relationship with alcohol. We may do this in writing, verbally or in another format. At the time we provide this information or advice, we believe it to be accurate, appropriate, and reliable, but we don’t give any warranty of accuracy, appropriateness, or reliability.
The information, advice, and instruction we give are general in nature and are not intended to constitute or substitute for professional, medical, or psychological advice. You should seek appropriate professional, medical or psychological advice suitable for your personal circumstances if necessary.
You should also consult with your doctor or health care professional before acting on recommendations or suggested changes to your lifestyle or health care. If at any time you experience an adverse health reaction you should seek professional medical attention immediately.
Where possible, information provided in our Membership is supported by external research. We don’t give any warranty of accuracy, appropriateness, or reliability for third-party content. You should make your own enquiries into any research referenced throughout the Membership.
We won’t accept any liability or responsibility (including liability for negligence) for any loss suffered because of your or any other person’s reliance on information or advice we provide in the Membership, unless otherwise required by law.
This clause survives termination of this Agreement.
Not Suitable for Alcohol Dependency
Our Membership is not suitable for any person who suffers from a physical dependence on alcohol or other medical condition. Abrupt alcohol discontinuance can have severe consequences.
We recommend that all members speak with a medical practitioner for professional medical advice tailored to their individual circumstances prior to commencing the Membership.
If you are (or suspect that you may be) physically dependent on alcohol or are suffering from another medical condition, you warrant that you have first sought medical advice from a suitably qualified medical practitioner prior to commencing our Membership and are participating in the Membership (which may include you reducing or stopping your alcohol intake) under the supervision, guidance, direction or advice of that practitioner.
We won’t accept any liability or responsibility (including liability for negligence) for any loss suffered by you or any other person if you participate in our Membership otherwise than in accordance with this clause.
This clause survives termination of this Agreement.
What we don’t do
Our Membership is not a health or medical service.
We do not:
- make medical or psychological diagnoses or prognoses;
- provide rehabilitation services or any medical or psychiatric treatment; or
- provide letters of reference to any third party (such as a Court, lawyer, employer or other agency)
- give any information, advice or instruction relevant to use of substances other than alcohol (such as use prohibited drugs or prescription medications)
No Guarantees
Information that we provide to you in our Membership has been prepared in line with external research in this area. We do not guarantee that participation in the Membership will result in a change in your individual circumstances, such as attaining or maintaining sobriety. Individual results may vary.
This clause survives termination of this Agreement.
Third Party Contributors
New Year Real Me
As part of the New Year Real Me promotion starting January 8th 2023, ‘The Mindful Mocktail’ Natalie Battaglia will be contributing to the promotion of Thrivalist and the Signature Sobriety Course using her social media platforms and database. She will also be hosting a weekly casual chat with the Thrivalist Members for 8 weeks from the course start date.

From time to time, we may invite guest speakers to deliver presentations to you as part of the Membership. These topics are presented by experts in their respective fields, however, we make no guarantees as to their qualifications. Any advice provided to you by a guest contributor or interviewee is general in nature and should not be relied upon as medical or other professional advice and should not be a substitute for the same.
We may also link to and from other websites that we think share our ethos and that we think you will find helpful. Those websites will have information collated and presented by third-party businesses, organisations, and individuals. As the linked websites are run by third parties, we can’t warrant or represent that any of the information on them is up to date, complete or correct. For your own safety, please make sure you check the protocols and standards of the linked websites before using them.
We do not necessarily endorse or support the views expressed on third party websites or by interviewees or guest contributors.
We won’t accept any liability or responsibility (including liability for negligence) for any loss suffered because of your or any other person’s reliance on information or advice from a linked website, guest contributor or interviewee, unless otherwise required by law.

Limitations of Liability
Australian Consumer Law
Our Membership is covered by the Australian Consumer Law, which forms Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (ACL), and which provides for consumer guarantees that cannot be excluded.
Nothing in these terms excludes any right, guarantee or warranty you’re entitled to by law, however we do exclude all other guarantees, conditions and warranties to the maximum extent permitted by law. We also specifically exclude liability for negligence.
Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability
Except as set out above, to the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all terms, guarantees, warranties, representations, or conditions which are not expressly stated in these terms and conditions.
Please note that we will not be liable for any special, indirect or consequential loss or damage (unless such loss or damage is reasonably foreseeable resulting from our failure to meet an applicable consumer guarantee to which you are entitled under the ACL), loss of profit or opportunity, or damage to goodwill arising out of or in connection with the Membership, Website or this Agreement (including as a result of not being able to use or access the Membership or Website), whether at common law, under contract, tort (including negligence), in equity, pursuant to statute or otherwise, except where we are unable to limit or exclude such loss under the ACL (for example, we are unable to exclude or limit liability for consequential loss arising out of a breach of a consumer guarantee).
We make the Membership available to you, however you use the Membership at your own risk. Everything in the Membership is provided “as is” and “as available” – we don’t make any representations or warranties of any kind.
Exclusion of Liability – Limited Application
If for any reason you are not a consumer for the purposes of the ACL, we exclude all liability to you, however arising, including by negligence.
Managing Disagreements
Dispute Resolution
If a dispute arises between the parties, the party claiming the dispute must not commence any court or arbitration proceedings (except where they seek urgent interlocutory relief), unless they have first complied with this clause.
The party must inform the other party in writing of the following:
- the nature of the dispute.
- the outcome they desire to resolve the dispute, and
- the action they believe will settle the dispute.
On receipt of the notice by the other party, both parties will make every effort, without delay and in good faith, to resolve the dispute by mutual negotiation within fourteen (14) Business Days. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute in that time, the parties must agree on selection of a mediator (if the parties are unable to agree, they agree to request that the President of the Law Society of Victoria appoint a mediator) and will be equally liable for the fees and reasonable expenses of the mediator and the cost of the venue of the mediation (to be paid in advance). The parties must each pay their own costs associated with the mediation, which must be held in Melbourne, Victoria, unless the parties agree on a suitable virtual alternative.
The existence of a dispute or the commencement of proceedings does not affect the obligation of the parties to continue to perform their obligations under this Agreement.
This clause survives termination of this Agreement.
Ending this Agreement
Termination
We may terminate this Agreement at any time on fourteen (14) days’ written notice to you.
Consequences of Termination
If we elect to terminate this Agreement without cause, your access to the Membership will expire on the effective date of termination.
We may elect (in our absolute discretion) to provide you with such documents or other items as we determine to provide you with information you can access post-termination (such as copies of Membership materials), however we will be under no obligation to do so and failure to do so will not entitle you to any remedy.
If we terminate this Agreement for cause due to a breach of a clause or warranty as contemplated by this Agreement, you agree that we may terminate immediately (or if in our opinion immediate termination is not reasonable, on expiry of such notice as we give in writing) and that access to the Membership will be withdrawn on the effective date of termination.
All disclaimers and limitations of liability will survive termination. Any accrued rights or remedies to which either party is entitled will not be affected.

The variations will take effect thirty (30) days after the date of posting. Your continued access and use of the Membership will indicate your acceptance of the variations.

We may choose to cancel your order, or otherwise to complete your order once things have returned to normal. If we expect a major delay, we’ll contact you to discuss a suitable solution.
Relationship of parties
The relationship between the parties is that of independent contractors and nothing in this Agreement is to be construed as constituting an agency, partnership, joint venture, relationship of employee and employer or franchisor and franchisee or any other form of association between the parties.
Jurisdiction
As we’re based in Victoria, these conditions will be governed by the laws of that state. If we do end up in court, you agree that the non-exclusive venue for resolving any dispute will be in the courts of Victoria.
Independent Legal Advice
You can seek independent legal advice on these terms and contact us to negotiate changes or amendments to these conditions before proceeding with your order. If you don’t do so, we’ll take it that you’ve read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these conditions, and that you consider the conditions fair and reasonable and not against public policy.
Severance
If any part of these conditions is found to be void or unenforceable by a Court of competent jurisdiction, that part will be severed, and the rest of the Agreement will remain in force.
