Other Policies and Purchase Terms

These Terms should be read together with our:

• Privacy Policy;
• Cookie Policy;
• Disclaimer;
• Income Disclaimer; and
• Terms of Purchase.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share and protect personal information. Our Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on the Website.

Our Disclaimer and Income Disclaimer explain important limitations concerning the educational, financial, fundraising and other information made available through the Services.

Where you purchase a product or service from us, the transaction will also be governed by our Terms of Purchase and any additional terms clearly presented to you before the purchase is completed.

If there is an inconsistency between these Terms and the Terms of Purchase concerning a purchase, payment, subscription, refund, cancellation or delivery matter, the Terms of Purchase will apply to that matter.

Eligibility and Authority

The Services are intended for adults acting in a personal capacity or on behalf of sports clubs, governing bodies, local sports partnerships, community organisations, businesses and other organisations.

You must be at least 18 years of age and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement to use the Services or make a purchase.

If you use the Services or make a purchase on behalf of a club, company or other organisation, you confirm that:

• you have authority to act on behalf of that organisation;
• you have authority to accept these Terms on its behalf; and
• the organisation agrees to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not have the required authority, you must not enter into an agreement or make a purchase on behalf of the organisation.

Permitted Use

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to access and use the Website and Services in accordance with these Terms.

Unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing, you may use the Services and materials provided through them only:

• for your own personal use;
• for the internal purposes of the club or organisation for which access was purchased or granted;
• for lawful purposes; and
• in accordance with any usage limits, licence terms or access conditions communicated to you.

You must not use the Services in any way that breaches applicable law, infringes another person’s rights or interferes with the operation or security of the Website or Services.

Prohibited Conduct

You must not, without our prior written permission:

• copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit or distribute any material from the Services except where expressly permitted;
• sell, license, sublicense, rent, lease or commercially exploit any part of the Services or materials;
• share your account, password, course access or membership access with another person or organisation;
• provide access to materials to a club or organisation other than the club or organisation for which access was purchased;
• record, download or reproduce a consultation, webinar, course, presentation or training session except where a download or recording has been expressly provided by us;
• modify, translate, adapt or create derivative works from our materials;
• remove or alter any copyright, trade mark, branding, confidentiality or proprietary notice;
• use our materials to create or deliver a competing product, service, course, training programme or consultancy service;

• submit false, misleading, unlawful, defamatory, abusive or infringing material;
• use the Services for fraudulent or unlawful purposes; or
• encourage, assist or permit another person to do any of the above.

Accounts and Account Security

Certain Services may require you to create an account or receive login credentials.

You agree to provide information that is accurate, current and complete and to update it where necessary.

You are responsible for:

• keeping your username, password and account credentials confidential;
• using reasonable security measures to protect your account;
• all activity carried out through your account, except where caused by our breach of duty;
• ensuring that any authorised user complies with these Terms; and
• notifying us promptly if you become aware of unauthorised access, disclosure or use.

You must not allow another person, club or organisation to use your account unless we have expressly authorised shared or multi-user access.

We may require you to reset your password or take other reasonable security measures where we believe that an account may have been compromised.

Code of Conduct

Users, customers, members and participants must communicate and behave respectfully and professionally when interacting with SCA, our representatives and other participants.

You must not:

• harass, threaten, intimidate or abuse another person;
• use discriminatory, defamatory, obscene or seriously offensive language;
• disrupt a course, consultation, webinar, group, community or event;
• publish or share another person’s personal or confidential information without authority;
• make unauthorised recordings of another participant or SCA representative;
• send spam, unsolicited promotions or irrelevant commercial communications;
• engage in conduct that creates a material safety, security or reputational risk; or
• encourage another person to breach this Code of Conduct.

We may take proportionate action in response to a breach, including issuing a warning, removing content, restricting participation, suspending access or terminating access.

Where access is terminated because of a serious or repeated breach by you, any refund entitlement will be determined in accordance with applicable law and our Terms of Purchase. Nothing in these Terms removes any refund or remedy that you are legally entitled to receive.

Concerns about conduct may be reported to [email protected].

Free and Downloadable Resources

We may provide free or downloadable materials, including eBooks, guides, templates, checklists, handouts and other resources.

Unless stated otherwise, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to use those materials for your own personal use or the internal use of your club or organisation.

You must not, without our prior written consent:

• sell or commercially exploit the materials;
• share them publicly or distribute them to other clubs or organisations;
• upload them to another website, shared drive, membership platform or social-media group;
• remove our branding or copyright notices;
• present the materials as your own work;
• substantially reproduce them in another course, programme or publication; or
• create derivative commercial products from them.

The fact that a resource is provided free of charge does not transfer ownership of the resource or its intellectual-property rights to you.

Our Intellectual Property

The Website, Services and materials made available through them are owned by, or licensed to, SCA and are protected by copyright, trade mark and other intellectual-property laws.

Protected materials may include:

• website text and design;
• business names, brands, logos and trade marks;
• online courses and training programmes;
• videos, audio recordings, webinars and presentations;
• eBooks, guides, reports, handouts and templates;
• fundraising strategies, models, frameworks and processes;
• worksheets, checklists, calculations and tools;
• graphics, photographs and illustrations;
• membership content;
• consultation materials;
• software, databases and platform content; and
• the selection, arrangement and presentation of the above.

Except for the limited permission expressly granted under these Terms, no right, title or interest in the Website, Services or materials is transferred to you.

You must obtain our prior written consent for any use that is not expressly permitted by these Terms.

Unauthorised use may result in suspension or termination of access and may constitute an infringement of our intellectual-property rights.

We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

Club and Organisational Use

Where a product, course, membership or resource is purchased for a named club or organisation, it may be used internally by that club or organisation only to the extent expressly included in the relevant product description or purchase terms.

Unless a multi-user, group or organisation-wide licence has been expressly purchased, access is limited to the individual account holder.

A club or organisation licence does not permit the materials to be:

• shared with another club, governing body or organisation;
• used by an external consultant for unrelated commercial purposes;
• published on a public website or unrestricted internal platform;
• incorporated into paid training for third parties; or
• resold, sublicensed or transferred.

Additional licences or permissions may be available by contacting us.

Content Submitted by Users

You retain ownership of content that you submit to us or through the Services, including comments, feedback, questionnaire responses, files and other materials (“User Content”).

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, process and use User Content only to the extent reasonably necessary to:

• provide the Services;
• respond to your request or enquiry;
• administer your account or participation;
• provide support;
• maintain, secure and improve the Services;
• comply with the law; or
• exercise or defend legal rights.

This operational licence ends when the relevant User Content is no longer reasonably required, subject to lawful retention requirements, backups and legal claims.

We will not use your name, club name, logo, testimonial, identifiable results or confidential information for promotional or marketing purposes without an appropriate lawful basis and, where required, your permission.

You confirm that:

• you own the User Content or have permission to submit it;
• the User Content does not infringe another person’s rights;
• the User Content is not unlawful, misleading, defamatory or malicious; and
• you have authority to provide any personal, confidential or club information contained in it.

We may remove or restrict access to User Content that we reasonably believe breaches these Terms, infringes rights, creates a security risk or is unlawful.

Testimonials, Reviews and Case Studies

We may invite customers or participants to provide testimonials, reviews, feedback or case-study information.

We will not publish your name, image, club identity, logo, testimonial or identifiable case-study information for promotional purposes unless we have an appropriate lawful basis and any permission required by law.

Where permission is granted, we may edit a testimonial for length, spelling or clarity, but we will not intentionally alter its substantive meaning.

You may contact us if you wish to withdraw permission for future use. Withdrawal will not necessarily require us to recall materials that were lawfully printed, published or distributed before withdrawal, but we will take reasonable steps concerning future use.

Third-Party Content and Links

The Services may contain links to websites, platforms, applications, tools or resources operated by third parties.

Third-party links are provided for information or convenience. Unless expressly stated otherwise, a link does not mean that we control, endorse or accept responsibility for the third party or its content, products, services, security, availability or privacy practices.

Your use of a third-party service may be governed by that third party’s own terms, policies and charges.

We may also include content contributed by guest speakers, interviewees, external experts or other third parties. The views expressed by a contributor are their own and do not necessarily represent our views.

We are not responsible for independently verifying every statement made by a third-party contributor. You should consider whether independent professional advice is appropriate before relying on third-party information.

Educational and General Information

The content provided through the Services is intended for general educational and informational purposes.

Although we aim to provide useful, accurate and practical information, the Services do not constitute legal, taxation, investment, regulated financial, insurance or other regulated professional advice.

Accounting or financial-support services expressly agreed under a separate engagement may be subject to separate engagement terms. General content available through the Website or training programmes does not create an accountant-client, solicitor-client or other regulated professional relationship.

You are responsible for considering your club’s or organisation’s own circumstances and obtaining appropriate independent professional advice where required.

You remain responsible for:

• decisions made by you or your organisation;
• compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
• taxation, accounting and financial decisions;
• lottery, raffle, gaming or fundraising permissions;
• advertising and promotional compliance;
• grant applications and supporting information;
• health and safety matters;
• employment and volunteer arrangements; and
• implementation of any strategy or recommendation.

No Guarantee of Results

We do not guarantee that use of the Services will produce a particular financial, fundraising, membership, grant, lotto, raffle, commercial or organisational result.

Results depend on numerous factors outside our control, including the nature and location of the club or organisation, volunteer participation, leadership, implementation, market conditions, pricing, advertising, competition, community support, regulatory requirements and the accuracy of information provided to us.

Examples, case studies, projections and past results are provided for educational or illustrative purposes. They are not promises or guarantees that you will achieve the same or similar results.

Further information is contained in our Income Disclaimer and Disclaimer.

Availability and Changes to the Services

We aim to make the Website and Services available with reasonable care, but continuous or uninterrupted access cannot be guaranteed.

Access may occasionally be interrupted or restricted because of:

• maintenance or updates;
• technical faults;
• internet or telecommunications failures;
• third-party platform interruptions;
• security incidents;
• events outside our reasonable control; or
• changes reasonably required to maintain or improve the Services.

We may make reasonable changes to the Website, content or Services to:

• improve functionality or security;
• correct errors;
• reflect changes in law, regulation or industry practice;
• update outdated information;
• replace content with equivalent or improved content; or
• adapt to changes made by a third-party platform or provider.

Where a material change affects a paid digital service supplied on an ongoing basis, we will comply with any applicable notice and consumer-law obligations.

We may withdraw free content or free functionality without notice. The withdrawal or material modification of paid Services will be dealt with in accordance with the applicable purchase terms and mandatory consumer law.

Technology, Security and Malicious Code

We take reasonable measures designed to protect the Website and Services. However, no website, electronic transmission, computer system or third-party platform can be guaranteed to be completely secure or free from defects.

You are responsible for:

• using appropriate antivirus and security software;
• maintaining current software and device updates;
• protecting your login credentials;
• maintaining suitable backups of your own information; and
• ensuring that your systems are compatible with the Services.

You must notify us promptly if you become aware of a suspected security incident affecting your account or the Services.

Nothing in this section excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Suspension and Termination

We may suspend, restrict or terminate your access where we reasonably believe that:

• you have materially or repeatedly breached these Terms;
• you have failed to pay an amount properly due under the applicable purchase terms;
• your account is being used without authority;
• your conduct presents a security, legal or reputational risk;
• continued access may infringe another person’s rights;
• we are required to do so by law, court order or a competent authority; or
• suspension is reasonably necessary to investigate suspected fraud or misuse.

Where reasonably practicable and appropriate, we may provide notice and an opportunity to remedy the breach before terminating access.

Immediate suspension or termination may occur where the breach is serious, involves unlawful activity, compromises security, infringes intellectual-property rights or creates a material risk to another person or to SCA.

Any payment or refund consequences will be determined in accordance with the Terms of Purchase and applicable law.

Termination does not affect rights, obligations or liabilities that arose before termination. Provisions that by their nature are intended to continue will survive termination, including provisions concerning intellectual property, confidentiality, liability, payment obligations and dispute resolution.

Consumer Rights

If you are acting wholly or mainly for purposes outside your trade, business, craft or profession, you may be a “consumer” for the purposes of applicable consumer-protection law.

Consumers have mandatory statutory rights concerning services, digital content and digital services, including rights relating to:

• conformity with the contract;
• supply and performance;
• remedies where a service or digital product is not supplied or does not conform with the contract;
• repair, correction or bringing a service or digital product into conformity where applicable;
• price reduction or termination in circumstances provided by law;
• refunds and reimbursement;
• online cancellation or withdrawal rights where applicable; and
• fair and transparent contract terms.

Nothing in these Terms or any other SCA policy is intended to exclude, restrict or reduce a mandatory consumer right or remedy.

Specific information concerning purchases, cancellation rights, digital content, services commenced during a cancellation period, refunds and subscriptions is contained in our Terms of Purchase.

If a provision of these Terms conflicts with a mandatory consumer right, the mandatory consumer right will apply.

Disclaimers

We will provide the Services with the level of care and skill required by applicable law.

Subject to that obligation and to the fullest extent permitted by law:

• the Website and free informational content are provided on an “as available” basis;
• we do not guarantee that the Website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or error-free;
• we do not guarantee that every item of general information will remain current or be suitable for every club or organisation;
• we do not guarantee that content will be compatible with every device, browser or third-party system;
• we do not guarantee that a particular result will be achieved; and
• we are not responsible for a decision made without appropriate consideration of your circumstances or independent professional advice where such advice is reasonably required.

Any warranties, conditions or terms implied by law are excluded only to the extent that the law permits them to be excluded.

Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for:

• death or personal injury caused by negligence where such liability cannot lawfully be excluded;
• fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
• wilful misconduct;
• breach of any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited;
• any mandatory consumer right or remedy; or
• any other matter for which exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law.

If you are a consumer, we are responsible for loss or damage that is a reasonably foreseeable consequence of our breach of these Terms or our failure to use the care and skill required by law.

We are not responsible for loss or damage that:

• was not reasonably foreseeable when the contract was entered into;
• was caused by inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information supplied by you or on your behalf;
• was caused by your failure to follow reasonable instructions or implement appropriate safeguards;
• arose from use of the Services for a purpose for which they were not designed;
• was caused by an event outside our reasonable control, except where the law provides otherwise; or
• could reasonably have been avoided by taking appropriate steps.

If you use the Services for business, club, organisational or commercial purposes, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for:

• loss of profits;
• loss of revenue;
• loss of anticipated savings;
• loss of fundraising income;
• loss of grants, sponsorship or donations;
• loss of business opportunity;
• loss of goodwill or reputation;
• loss or corruption of data where appropriate backups were not maintained; or
• indirect or consequential loss.

Where you use the Services for business, club, organisational or commercial purposes, our total aggregate liability arising from or in connection with the relevant paid Service will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be limited to the total amount paid by you for that Service during the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

The preceding financial cap does not apply to any liability that cannot lawfully be capped or excluded.

We will not be liable for the acts or omissions of a separate third-party provider merely because its website, platform, product or service is linked to or interoperates with our Services. This does not affect any liability we may have for our own selection, instructions or actions where applicable.

Indemnity

If you use the Services for business, club, organisational or commercial purposes, you agree to indemnify us against reasonable losses, liabilities, damages and legal costs finally awarded or reasonably incurred as a direct result of a third-party claim arising from:

• your unlawful use of the Services;
• your material breach of these Terms;
• User Content supplied by you that infringes another person’s rights;
• your unauthorised distribution or commercial exploitation of our materials; or
• fraudulent or deliberately harmful conduct by you.

This indemnity does not apply to the extent that a loss was caused by our own breach, negligence or unlawful conduct.

We will take reasonable steps to notify you of a relevant third-party claim and will not unreasonably refuse your participation in its defence.

If you are a consumer, this indemnity applies only to the extent that it is fair, proportionate and permitted by applicable law.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to:

• the Website or Services;
• applicable law or regulation;
• security requirements;
• our business operations;
• technology or third-party platforms; or
• the manner in which Services are supplied.

The date at the top of these Terms indicates when they were last updated.

Changes will apply from the date the updated Terms are published, unless a later date is stated.

Where a material change affects an existing paid, subscription or ongoing Service, we will provide any notice and rights required under the applicable contract and consumer law.

Changes will not retrospectively remove a right that has already accrued or impose a material new obligation concerning a completed purchase unless permitted by law and fairly agreed.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court or competent authority to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be treated as removed or limited only to the minimum extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect, provided that doing so does not produce an outcome that is unlawful or fundamentally different from the agreement intended by the parties.

No Waiver

If we delay or fail to enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not mean that we have waived the provision or any related right.

A waiver concerning one breach or event will not constitute a waiver concerning a later breach or event.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the policies and purchase terms expressly incorporated into them, constitute the agreement governing your use of the Website and Services.

They do not exclude:

• any additional written agreement entered into between you and SCA;
• any engagement letter or service-specific agreement;
• any mandatory representation or information required by law; or
• liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

If a separate written agreement applies to a particular service and conflicts with these general Terms, the separate written agreement will apply to that service to the extent of the conflict.

Assignment

You may not transfer or assign your account, access rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.

We may transfer our rights and obligations to another organisation as part of a genuine sale, transfer, restructuring or reorganisation of our business, provided that:

• the transfer does not reduce any mandatory consumer protection;
• the organisation is capable of performing the relevant obligations; and
• we provide any notice required by law.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any non-contractual obligations arising from or connected with them are governed by the laws of Ireland.

If you are acting for business, club, organisational or commercial purposes, the courts of Ireland will have jurisdiction to determine disputes arising from or connected with these Terms, subject to any separate written agreement.

If you are a consumer resident in Ireland, disputes may be brought before the Irish courts.

If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the European Union or European Economic Area, nothing in these Terms deprives you of any mandatory protection or right to bring proceedings available under the laws and jurisdiction rules applicable in your country of residence.

Dispute Resolution and Recovery of Unpaid Amounts

If a dispute arises, either party may contact the other to attempt to resolve the matter directly. The parties may also agree to use mediation or another appropriate alternative dispute-resolution process.

Participation in mediation or any other alternative dispute-resolution process is voluntary unless the parties have expressly agreed otherwise in a separate written agreement.

Nothing in these Terms requires SCA to engage in mediation, negotiation or any other alternative dispute-resolution process before commencing legal proceedings.

Without limiting our other rights, where an invoice, instalment, subscription payment or other amount properly due to us remains unpaid, we may:

• issue payment reminders or a formal demand for payment;
• suspend or terminate access to the relevant Services;
• refer the debt to a solicitor or debt-recovery provider;
• commence legal proceedings to recover the unpaid amount; and
• seek interest, court fees, legal costs and other recovery costs to the extent permitted by law or expressly agreed under the applicable purchase terms.

We may commence legal proceedings without first entering mediation or another dispute-resolution process where we consider this appropriate, including in relation to:

• an unpaid invoice or other outstanding debt;
• a breach of contract;
• unauthorised use or distribution of our intellectual property;
• misuse of an account or the Services;
• protection of confidential information;
• fraud, unlawful conduct or a security incident;
• the need for urgent interim or injunctive relief; or
• the risk that a legal limitation period may expire.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from exercising any statutory right, using a complaint or enforcement process, seeking urgent relief or commencing legal proceedings at any time where legally permitted.

Sports Club Advisors Disclaimer Policy

Last Updated: 20 July 2026

This Disclaimer Policy should be read together with our Terms and Conditions of Use, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Terms of Purchase and Income Disclaimer.

Educational and Informational Purposes

The information and materials provided through the Services are intended primarily for general educational and informational purposes.

The Services may include:

• fundraising training and strategies;
• income-growth recommendations;
• membership-development guidance;
• lotto and raffle guidance;
• grant-funding information;
• club-management information;
• financial and accounting information;
• marketing and advertising guidance;
• templates, examples, calculations and projections;
• online courses and training programmes;
• consultations and implementation support;
• webinars, videos, eBooks, guides and reports; and
• other information relevant to sports clubs, governing bodies, community organisations and similar organisations.

Although we aim to provide useful, practical and accurate information, general content cannot take account of every club’s, organisation’s or individual’s circumstances.

You should carefully consider whether information provided through the Services is suitable for your particular circumstances before acting upon it.

Professional Advice

Unless expressly agreed under a separate written engagement, information provided through the Services does not constitute legal, taxation, accounting, audit, investment, insurance, regulated financial or other regulated professional advice.

Although certain content may be prepared, presented or reviewed by persons with relevant professional experience or qualifications, general content is not tailored to your particular circumstances and should not be relied upon as a substitute for appropriate independent professional advice.

You should obtain advice from a suitably qualified professional where your circumstances require advice concerning matters such as:

• legal or regulatory compliance;
• taxation;
• accounting treatment;
• financial reporting;
• investment or borrowing decisions;
• employment or volunteer arrangements;
• data protection;
• insurance;
• lottery, raffle, gaming or competition law;
• planning or property matters;
• grant conditions;
• advertising compliance; or
• any other matter requiring professional judgement.

Any decision not to obtain independent professional advice is made at your own discretion and responsibility.

Accounting and Consultancy Engagements

SCA or Dalglen Accountancy Services Limited may separately agree to provide accounting, consultancy, advisory, implementation or other professional services under a specific engagement letter, proposal, service agreement or written scope of work.

Where a separate written engagement applies, the services provided under that engagement will be governed by its own terms, scope, limitations and responsibilities.

Nothing in this Disclaimer Policy overrides any obligations expressly accepted by us under a separate written agreement.

General website content, courses, webinars, downloadable materials and informal communications do not, by themselves, create an accounting, advisory or other professional engagement.

No Professional-Client Relationship

Your access to or use of the Website, free resources, online courses, general training content, emails, newsletters, blog posts, videos or other general materials does not create a solicitor-client, accountant-client, financial adviser-client or other regulated professional-client relationship.

A professional or advisory relationship will arise only where we have expressly agreed in writing to provide specific services to you or your organisation.

Submitting an enquiry, completing a questionnaire, attending a webinar or purchasing a general online training product does not by itself create such a relationship.

Your Responsibility

You are responsible for deciding whether and how to apply information, strategies, recommendations, templates or examples provided through the Services.

You agree to exercise reasonable judgement and carry out appropriate due diligence before making or implementing any decision.

You remain responsible for:

• the decisions made by you, your club or your organisation;
• the accuracy and completeness of information provided to us;
• ensuring that recommendations are appropriate for your circumstances;
• obtaining necessary professional advice;
• obtaining required approvals, licences, permits or permissions;
• compliance with applicable laws, regulations and governing-body rules;
• financial controls and authorisation procedures;
• the conduct of staff, officers, volunteers, committees and service providers;
• monitoring and reviewing implementation;
• maintaining appropriate insurance; and
• taking reasonable steps to manage risk.

You should not implement a recommendation where you know, or ought reasonably to know, that it is inappropriate, unlawful or inconsistent with professional advice received by you.

Accuracy and Currency of Information

We take reasonable care in preparing information and materials provided through the Services.

However, laws, regulations, grant schemes, platform rules, advertising policies, funding criteria, technology, market conditions and industry practices may change over time.

Information that was accurate when prepared may later become outdated.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, we do not guarantee that all general content will at all times be:

• complete;
• current;
• free from error;
• suitable for every club or organisation;
• applicable in every jurisdiction; or
• appropriate for every factual situation.

You should verify important information before relying upon it, particularly where a decision involves legal compliance, substantial expenditure, borrowing, contractual commitments, taxation, public fundraising or financial risk.

We may update, correct, replace or withdraw information without notice where reasonably appropriate.

Fundraising, Grant and Income Information

The Services may provide information, recommendations, examples or projections relating to fundraising, grant funding, membership income, sponsorship, donations, lotteries, raffles, events, advertising and other income-generating activities.

Such information is intended to assist clubs and organisations in considering possible strategies. It does not guarantee that:

• a fundraiser will achieve a particular level of income;
• a grant application will be successful;
• a sponsor or donor will provide funding;
• membership will increase;
• a lotto or raffle will achieve a particular level of sales;
• advertising expenditure will generate a return;
• a particular strategy will be suitable for every organisation; or
• income will exceed the costs or risks involved.

Fundraising and income results may be affected by factors including:

• the size and location of the club or organisation;
• community demographics;
• local competition;
• pricing;
• volunteer capacity;
• committee participation;
• implementation quality;
• timing;
• marketing expenditure;
• economic conditions;
• regulatory requirements;
• public interest;
• weather;
• platform performance; and
• other matters outside our control.

Any budgets, forecasts, revenue figures, fundraising targets or financial illustrations are estimates or examples unless expressly stated otherwise.

You should prepare and approve your own budgets, forecasts and risk assessments before committing expenditure or entering contracts.

Lottery, Raffle and Competition Information

Information relating to club lotteries, raffles, prize draws, competitions, ticket sales or similar activities is provided for general educational and strategic purposes.

You remain responsible for determining whether a proposed activity is lawful and for obtaining any legal advice, permits, licences, approvals or permissions that may be required.

You must also ensure compliance with all applicable requirements relating to:

• gaming, lotteries, raffles and competitions;
• ticket sales and draw procedures;
• advertising and promotion;
• consumer protection;
• data protection;
• payment processing;
• record keeping;
• taxation;
• prize ownership and transfer;
• insurance;
• governing-body rules; and
• terms imposed by advertising, social-media, payment or technology platforms.

Platform or advertising approval is not a substitute for legal or regulatory compliance.

We do not guarantee that an application for approval, advertising permission, payment processing, regulatory permission or platform access will be accepted.

No Guarantee of Results

We do not guarantee that use of the Services will produce any particular financial, fundraising, commercial, organisational or other result.

Your results will depend upon your own circumstances, decisions, effort, implementation and factors outside our control.

No statement made through the Services should be interpreted as:

• a promise of income;
• a guarantee of fundraising success;
• a guarantee of grant approval;
• a guarantee of increased membership;
• a guarantee of advertising performance;
• a guarantee of sales or conversions;
• a guarantee of cost savings;
• a guarantee of organisational improvement; or
• a guarantee that a target or projection will be achieved.

Further information is contained in our Income Disclaimer.

Examples, Projections and Case Studies

The Services may refer to actual or illustrative examples, projections, case studies and results achieved by SCA, its representatives, customers, clients, sports clubs or other organisations.

Past performance and previous results do not guarantee future performance or similar results.

Unless expressly stated otherwise:

• examples are provided for educational or illustrative purposes;
• projections are estimates rather than promises;
• case studies reflect the circumstances of the organisation concerned;
• gross income figures may not reflect all associated costs;
• results may have been achieved over different time periods;
• different levels of support or expenditure may have been involved; and
• your results may differ materially.

You should not assume that you or your organisation will achieve the same result merely by purchasing or using a product or service.

Testimonials and Reviews

The Services may include testimonials, reviews, endorsements or feedback from customers, clients, course participants, clubs or organisations.

Testimonials and reviews reflect the personal experiences and opinions of the persons who provided them.

They do not constitute a guarantee that another person, club or organisation will achieve the same or similar results.

Where a testimonial or review has been provided in connection with an incentive, discount, free product, complimentary access, affiliate arrangement or other material benefit, we will disclose that relationship where required.

We may make reasonable edits to a testimonial for spelling, grammar, length or clarity, but we will not intentionally change its substantive meaning.

We will use names, images, club identities, logos or other personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection law.

Affiliate Links and Commercial Relationships

From time to time, the Services may contain affiliate links or recommendations for third-party products or services.

If you select an affiliate link or make a purchase through it, we may receive a commission, referral fee or other benefit at no additional cost to you.

Where required, affiliate links or commercial relationships will be clearly identified.

The existence of an affiliate relationship does not mean that a product or service is suitable for your particular circumstances.

You should conduct your own assessment before purchasing or relying upon a third-party product or service.

We are not responsible for the quality, performance, pricing, availability, terms, security or conduct of a third-party provider merely because we receive an affiliate commission or referral benefit.

Third-Party Products, Services and Information

We may refer to or discuss products, services, software, consultants, coaches, advisers, contractors, platforms or other third-party providers.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, a reference does not amount to:

• a guarantee of quality;
• a warranty of performance;
• a statement that the provider is suitable for every user;
• an acceptance of responsibility for the provider’s actions; or
• a representation that the provider will continue to offer the same terms, pricing or service.

You are responsible for conducting your own due diligence and reviewing the third party’s terms, policies, pricing, qualifications and suitability.

Any contract entered into with a third party is between you and that third party unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing.

External Links

The Website and Services may contain links to external websites, platforms or resources operated by third parties.

External links are provided for information or convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for:

• the content of an external website;
• its accuracy or availability;
• its privacy or cookie practices;
• its security;
• its products or services;
• changes made after a link is published; or
• any loss arising from your use of the external website.

You should review the terms and policies of external websites before using them or providing personal information.

Technology and Availability

We take reasonable steps to make the Website and Services available and secure.

However, no website, online course, membership platform, payment system, communication service or other digital service can be guaranteed to operate continuously or without error.

The Services may be affected by:

• maintenance;
• updates;
• internet or telecommunications failures;
• third-party platform outages;
• cybersecurity incidents;
• device or browser incompatibility;
• payment-provider issues;
• software defects;
• events outside our reasonable control; or
• other technical issues.

You are responsible for maintaining suitable devices, software, internet access, security controls and backups.

Nothing in this section excludes any obligation or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Limitation of Liability

The limitations in this section apply subject to our Terms and Conditions of Use, any separate written service agreement and applicable law.

Nothing in this Disclaimer Policy excludes or limits liability for:

• death or personal injury caused by negligence where liability cannot lawfully be excluded;
• fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
• wilful misconduct;
• breach of a mandatory consumer right;
• liability expressly accepted under a separate written agreement; or
• any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Subject to those qualifications, we are not responsible for loss arising solely because:

• you relied upon general information without considering your own circumstances;
• you did not obtain appropriate independent professional advice;
• you provided inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information;
• you failed to obtain a necessary approval, licence, permit or permission;
• you failed to follow reasonable instructions or safeguards;
• you used information for a purpose for which it was not intended;
• you modified or misapplied a recommendation, template or resource;
• you relied upon outdated information after a relevant law, rule, policy or scheme had changed;
• a third-party platform, provider or contractor failed to perform; or
• a projected, expected or desired result was not achieved.

Any further exclusion, limitation or financial cap on our liability is set out in our Terms and Conditions of Use or the separate written agreement governing the relevant Service.

Mandatory Legal Rights

Nothing in this Disclaimer Policy is intended to exclude, restrict or reduce any mandatory right or remedy available under Irish or European Union law.

If you are a consumer, you may have statutory rights concerning services, digital content and digital services.

If any provision of this Disclaimer Policy conflicts with a mandatory legal right, the mandatory legal right will apply.

Changes to This Disclaimer Policy

We may update this Disclaimer Policy from time to time to reflect changes to:

• the Website or Services;
• the information or training we provide;
• our business operations;
• applicable laws or regulations;
• professional or industry practices; or
• third-party services and platforms.

The date shown at the top of this Disclaimer Policy indicates when it was last updated.

Changes will apply from the date the updated policy is published unless a later date is stated.

1. Definitions

In these Terms of Purchase:

• “Digital Content” means content produced and supplied in digital form, including online course lessons, videos, recordings, eBooks, guides, handouts, templates, reports, downloads and other digital materials.
• “Digital Service” means a service that allows you to access, use, store, process or interact with information in digital form, including access to an online course platform or members area.
• “Purchaser”, “you” or “your” means the individual whose full name and email address are entered at checkout and who completes or authorises the purchase.
• “Services” means the products and services supplied by SCA, including Digital Content, Digital Services, courses, programmes, memberships, consultations, coaching, implementation support, webinars and related materials.
• “Total Purchase Price” means the full price payable for the product or Service, whether paid in one payment or through a payment plan.

2. Scope of These Terms

These Terms of Purchase apply to all purchases of products and Services from SCA unless a separate written agreement expressly states otherwise.

They apply whether you purchase:

• through our website;
• through a Kajabi checkout page;
• through an invoice or payment link;
• following an email or telephone discussion;
• on a one-time payment basis;
• through a payment plan;
• as part of a recurring membership; or
• on behalf of, or for the benefit of, a sports club or other organisation.

Additional terms may apply to a particular programme, consultation or professional engagement. Where additional terms are provided before purchase, they form part of the agreement between you and SCA.

If there is a direct conflict between these Terms of Purchase and a separately signed engagement letter or service agreement, the separately signed agreement will apply to the extent of that conflict.

3. Identity of the Purchaser

The individual whose full name and email address are entered at checkout is the purchaser and enters into the contract with SCA personally.

This remains the case where:

• the email address used belongs to, or is associated with, a sports club or other organisation;
• you intend to use the training or Services for the benefit of a club or organisation;
• you are an officer, committee member, employee, coach, volunteer or representative of a club or organisation;
• you expect a club or organisation to reimburse the purchase price;
• a club or organisation provides the payment card or funds used;
• an invoice or receipt refers to a club or organisation; or
• the club or organisation otherwise benefits from your participation.

Unless SCA expressly agrees in writing before the purchase is completed that another identified person or organisation will be the sole purchaser, you remain responsible for:

• paying the Total Purchase Price;
• paying every instalment due under a payment plan;
• complying with these Terms of Purchase; and
• all use of the account created using the email address provided at checkout.

Any funding, reimbursement, expense or approval arrangement between you and a club or organisation is separate from your contract with SCA and does not affect your payment obligations.

4. Eligibility and Authority to Purchase

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding contract to make a purchase.

By completing a purchase, you confirm that:

• the information you provide is complete and accurate;
• you are authorised to use the payment method provided;
• you understand the nature and Total Purchase Price of the product or Service;
• you have reviewed the available payment options;
• you have obtained any approval or funding required from your club or organisation;
• you are not relying on an unconfirmed reimbursement arrangement; and
• you are able and willing to meet the payment obligations associated with the purchase.

You must not complete a purchase using another person’s name, email address or payment details without their permission.

5. Product and Service Information

We take reasonable care to describe our products and Services accurately.

The applicable sales page, checkout page or written proposal will ordinarily identify:

• the principal features of the product or Service;
• the Total Purchase Price;
• the available payment options;
• the expected access period;
• what is included in the purchase;
• any material eligibility requirements; and
• any important restrictions or technical requirements.

Images, screenshots, examples and demonstrations are provided for illustration. We may update the appearance, layout or delivery of a product where this does not materially reduce the principal features purchased.

You should contact us before purchasing if you require clarification about a material aspect of a product or Service.

6. Orders and Contract Formation

Submitting an order is an offer to purchase the selected product or Service subject to these Terms of Purchase.

A binding contract is formed when:

• your payment or first instalment is successfully processed; and
• we send you an order confirmation, receipt, access email or other confirmation that your order has been accepted.

We may decline or cancel an order before acceptance where:

• payment cannot be authorised;
• the product or Service is unavailable;
• the price or description contains an obvious error;
• we reasonably suspect fraud, misuse or unauthorised payment;
• you do not meet an applicable eligibility requirement; or
• accepting the order would breach a legal, regulatory or platform requirement.

If we cancel an order before access or supply begins, we will refund any payment received for the cancelled order.

7. Prices and VAT

Prices are stated in euro unless otherwise indicated.

Prices include VAT where applicable unless the relevant sales page, checkout page, proposal or invoice clearly states otherwise.

We may change our prices at any time. A price change will not normally alter the price of a purchase that has already been accepted.

Promotional prices, discount codes and special offers:

• may be subject to additional conditions;
• may expire or be withdrawn;
• may not be combined unless expressly permitted;
• have no cash value; and
• do not create a right to a retrospective refund or price adjustment.

8. Payment Methods and Authorisation

Payment must be made using a payment method offered through our checkout, invoicing or payment process.

By providing or authorising a payment method, you confirm that:

• you are entitled to use it;
• the payment information is accurate;
• we and our payment provider may process the payment;
• scheduled instalments may be collected in accordance with the payment option selected; and
• recurring membership charges may be collected where you have purchased an automatically renewing membership.

SCA does not ordinarily receive or store your complete payment-card information. Card payments are processed by independent payment-service providers.

The option to store a payment card for future purchases is separate from your obligation to pay instalments already agreed under a payment plan.

9. Payment Plans

Where you select a payment plan, you are purchasing the entire product, course, programme or Service for the full Total Purchase Price displayed at checkout.

A payment plan is a facility that allows you to pay the Total Purchase Price by scheduled instalments. It is not a monthly subscription and does not provide a right to cancel the purchase between instalments.

For example, where a programme is offered for either a one-time payment of €597 or three monthly instalments of €209, selecting the instalment option means that you have agreed to purchase the entire programme for a Total Purchase Price of €627, payable through three instalments of €209.

By selecting a payment plan and completing your purchase, you agree to pay every instalment forming part of the Total Purchase Price on its scheduled due date.

Except where you have a mandatory legal right to cancel, terminate, withhold payment or obtain another remedy, your obligation to pay the remaining instalments continues even where you:

• do not commence the course or programme;
• do not complete the course or programme;
• do not view every lesson;
• do not download every resource;
• stop using the Services;
• change your mind;
• decide that the product or Service is no longer required;
• do not have sufficient time to complete the training;
• leave or change your position within a club or organisation;
• are not reimbursed by a club or organisation;
• have a reimbursement or expense request refused;
• do not implement the information provided;
• do not obtain the result you expected;
• cancel, replace or allow your payment card to expire; or
• cancel a recurring-card payment, direct debit or other payment authority.

Cancelling, replacing or interfering with your payment method does not cancel the purchase, terminate the contract or discharge the outstanding balance.

You must ensure that a valid payment method remains available for each scheduled instalment.

10. Club Funding and Reimbursement

SCA is not responsible for determining whether your club or another organisation has approved, funded or agreed to reimburse your purchase.

You are responsible for obtaining any required funding, approval or reimbursement agreement before completing your purchase.

A refusal, failure or delay by a club or organisation to reimburse you does not:

• cancel the purchase;
• transfer your contract to the club or organisation;
• release you from your payment obligations;
• entitle you to stop paying instalments;
• entitle you to a refund; or
• require SCA to recover payment from the club or organisation.

SCA may agree to accept a payment directly from a club or organisation. This does not release you from responsibility for the purchase unless SCA expressly confirms your release in writing.

11. Memberships and Recurring Subscriptions

This section applies only where a product is expressly described as a recurring membership or subscription.

A recurring membership is different from a fixed-price purchase paid by instalments.

The relevant sales page or checkout page will state:

• the recurring charge;
• the billing period;
• whether the membership renews automatically;
• the renewal date or how it is calculated; and
• how the membership may be cancelled.

By purchasing an automatically renewing membership, you authorise the applicable recurring charge to be collected until cancellation.

You may cancel a recurring membership through the available account settings or by contacting us at [email protected].

Cancellation prevents future renewal charges. It does not ordinarily create a refund entitlement for a billing period that has already begun, except where required by law.

Access will normally continue until the end of the paid billing period unless:

• the product description states otherwise;
• access is suspended for breach or non-payment;
• we agree otherwise; or
• applicable law requires otherwise.

12. Failed and Overdue Payments

If a payment is declined, reversed, cancelled or otherwise not received when due, we may:

• notify you by email or telephone;
• ask you to update your payment information;
• make further reasonable attempts to process the authorised payment;
• issue an invoice or payment demand;
• suspend access to some or all of the Services; and
• take the further recovery steps described in these Terms of Purchase.

You must pay an overdue instalment within seven days after we issue written notice of the missed payment, unless a different period is stated in that notice.

A failure to receive an automated payment reminder does not remove your responsibility to make payments on the agreed dates.

13. Suspension and Termination for Non-Payment

If an overdue payment is not paid within seven days after written notice, SCA may, subject to applicable law:

• suspend or restrict access to the Services;
• remove access to the members area;
• withhold additional course modules or resources;
• cancel scheduled consultations, calls or support;
• stop further performance until payment is received;
• require immediate payment of the overdue instalment;
• declare the remaining unpaid balance of the Total Purchase Price immediately due and payable;
• terminate access for material or repeated payment default;
• instruct a solicitor or debt-recovery provider; and
• commence legal proceedings to recover amounts properly due.

Suspension or termination caused by payment default does not cancel the underlying purchase or discharge the outstanding balance.

We are not required to extend your access period to compensate for any suspension caused by your payment default.

Acceptance of a late payment, part payment or alternative payment arrangement does not waive our right to recover the remaining balance unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing.

14. Recovery of Unpaid Amounts

Where an amount remains overdue after the applicable notice period, SCA may:

• issue formal payment demands;
• contact you by email, telephone or post;
• instruct a solicitor;
• instruct a debt-recovery provider;
• commence court proceedings;
• seek judgment for amounts properly due;
• enforce any judgment obtained; and
• seek interest and reasonable legal or recovery costs to the extent permitted by law or awarded by a court.

SCA is not required to enter mediation or another alternative dispute-resolution process before seeking recovery of an unpaid amount.

You remain responsible for keeping your email address, telephone number, billing information and payment details current.

15. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

You should contact SCA at [email protected] before initiating a chargeback or payment dispute so that we have a reasonable opportunity to investigate and resolve the matter.

Nothing in these Terms of Purchase prevents you from raising a genuine payment dispute or exercising a mandatory legal right.

However, initiating a chargeback, cancelling a payment instruction or reversing a payment does not by itself cancel the contract or remove your obligation to pay an amount properly due.

Where a chargeback or payment reversal relates to a valid and authorised purchase, we may provide the payment provider or financial institution with:

• the purchaser’s name and email address;
• the order and transaction details;
• the pricing option selected;
• evidence that these Terms were accepted;
• the order confirmation;
• evidence that access was provided;
• login and course-usage records;
• download records; and
• relevant communications concerning the purchase.

We may also:

• suspend access while the dispute is investigated;
• seek payment directly from you;
• refer the amount for debt recovery; and
• commence legal proceedings for amounts properly due.

Where we reasonably believe that a payment dispute is fraudulent, dishonest or deliberately misleading, we may report relevant information to the payment provider or another appropriate authority where doing so is lawful and proportionate.

16. Immediate Access to Digital Content

Our online courses, training programmes, videos, recordings, eBooks, guides, handouts, templates and downloadable resources include Digital Content supplied electronically without a tangible medium.

Digital Content is normally made available immediately or shortly after your payment or first instalment has been successfully processed.

By completing your purchase and choosing to receive immediate access, you request that supply of the Digital Content begins immediately and before the end of any statutory cancellation period that might otherwise apply.

You expressly consent to SCA beginning the supply of the Digital Content immediately.

You acknowledge and agree that, where permitted by applicable law, your statutory right to cancel the Digital Content purchase will be lost once supply begins following your prior express consent and acknowledgement.

Supply may begin when we:

• activate your online account or members-area access;
• make course lessons or digital resources available in your account;
• send you login details or an access link;
• send or make available a downloadable product;
• provide access to any part of a course or programme; or
• otherwise enable you to access the Digital Content.

Once Digital Content has been supplied following the consent and acknowledgement required by applicable law, the purchase is non-refundable except where:

• the Digital Content has not been supplied as agreed;
• the Digital Content is materially defective or does not conform to the contract;
• SCA is unable to resolve an access problem for which it is responsible within a reasonable period;
• we expressly agree to provide a refund; or
• another mandatory legal right or remedy applies.

If the legally required consent and acknowledgement have not been obtained, any statutory cancellation right will continue to apply to the extent required by law.

17. Refund Policy

Except where required by law, expressly stated in a product-specific guarantee or agreed by SCA in writing, purchases are non-refundable after:

• access to Digital Content has been provided;
• an online course or members area has been activated;
• a downloadable product has been supplied;
• a consultation or Service has been fully delivered; or
• an applicable statutory cancellation right has expired or been validly lost.

We do not ordinarily provide refunds because you:

• changed your mind;
• did not commence or complete the training;
• did not access all of the available content;
• did not download the available materials;
• did not allocate sufficient time to the programme;
• left or changed your role within a club;
• were not reimbursed by your club;
• did not implement the information or recommendations;
• did not achieve a particular fundraising or financial result;
• missed a scheduled session;
• cancelled or changed your payment method; or
• decided that the product or Service was no longer required.

Nothing in this Refund Policy affects your mandatory rights where Digital Content, a Digital Service or another Service:

• has not been supplied;
• does not conform to the contract;
• is materially defective;
• has not been provided with the legally required level of care and skill;
• cannot be accessed because of an unresolved issue for which SCA is responsible; or
• otherwise gives rise to a mandatory legal remedy.

We may provide a discretionary refund, credit, transfer or alternative remedy in exceptional circumstances. Providing a discretionary remedy in one case does not create an obligation to provide the same remedy in another case.

18. Access to Digital Products

Access will be provided for the period described on the relevant sales page, checkout page, proposal or order confirmation.

Unless expressly described as lifetime access, access is not permanent.

Where “lifetime access” is expressly offered, it means access for the period during which SCA continues to operate and make the relevant product available through its chosen platform. It does not mean the purchaser’s lifetime or guarantee the permanent operation of a particular third-party platform.

Access is personal to you and may not be:

• shared with another person;
• transferred without our permission;
• resold;
• made available using a shared login;
• uploaded to another website or shared drive;
• used to train unrelated third parties; or
• used to reproduce or commercially exploit the content.

Where a product is expressly sold for internal club use, you may use the materials internally within that club, subject to the licence and restrictions stated in these Terms of Purchase.

19. Consultations and Appointments

Where your purchase includes a consultation, coaching call, implementation meeting or other scheduled appointment:

• you must provide accurate booking information;
• you must attend at the agreed time;
• you must provide any reasonably requested information in advance;
• you should provide at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to request rescheduling; and
• any alternative appointment remains subject to availability.

If you fail to attend or provide sufficient notice, the appointment may be treated as delivered and may not be refundable or rescheduled.

We may reschedule an appointment due to illness, emergency, technical failure or another reasonable cause. Where we cannot provide the appointment within a reasonable period, we will provide an appropriate alternative or remedy.

20. Purchaser Responsibilities

You are responsible for:

• reviewing the product description before purchase;
• providing accurate personal, billing and contact information;
• maintaining access to the email address entered at checkout;
• checking spam and junk folders for access emails;
• maintaining a suitable device and internet connection;
• following reasonable technical instructions;
• keeping your login credentials secure;
• using the Services lawfully;
• obtaining professional advice where appropriate;
• conducting appropriate due diligence before implementing recommendations; and
• ensuring that any use on behalf of a club complies with applicable laws, rules and internal approvals.

You must notify us promptly if you believe that your account or payment information has been used without authority.

21. Intellectual Property and Permitted Use

All intellectual-property rights in the Services are owned by or licensed to SCA.

Subject to payment of the Total Purchase Price and compliance with these Terms of Purchase, we grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive and non-transferable licence to access and use the purchased materials:

• for your own education and professional development; and
• where relevant, for permitted internal use within your sports club.

You must not, without our prior written permission:

• copy or reproduce substantial parts of the content;
• sell, license, rent or distribute the content;
• share your login credentials;
• upload the content to another website, platform or shared drive;
• record or redistribute course videos, webinars or consultations;
• remove copyright, trademark or ownership notices;
• create competing training products from the content;
• use the content to advise or train unrelated organisations commercially;
• use automated tools to scrape, copy or download the content; or
• otherwise exploit the content outside the permitted licence.

Unauthorised sharing, reproduction or commercial use may result in immediate suspension or termination of access and may expose you to legal proceedings.

22. Account Security

You must keep your username, password and access links confidential.

You are responsible for activity carried out through your account unless that activity results from a failure for which SCA is legally responsible.

We may suspend or restrict access where we reasonably suspect:

• credential sharing;
• unauthorised account access;
• fraud or attempted fraud;
• a security compromise;
• unusual or excessive downloading;
• automated scraping or copying; or
• another material breach of these Terms of Purchase.

23. Technical Requirements and Availability

We take reasonable steps to maintain access to our Digital Content and Digital Services.

Access may occasionally be interrupted by:

• planned or emergency maintenance;
• platform updates;
• hosting or service-provider outages;
• internet or telecommunications failures;
• security incidents;
• payment-provider issues;
• device or browser incompatibility; or
• events outside our reasonable control.

You are responsible for maintaining a compatible device, current browser, reliable internet connection and appropriate security software.

Where a technical problem is within our control, you must give us a reasonable opportunity to investigate and resolve it.

24. Changes to Products and Services

We may make reasonable changes to a product or Service to:

• improve its content or delivery;
• correct errors or inaccuracies;
• update outdated information;
• respond to legal or regulatory changes;
• maintain security;
• change a third-party platform;
• replace content with materially equivalent content; or
• adapt to changes in technology or industry practice.

We will not intentionally make a change that materially reduces the principal features of a paid product without providing an appropriate remedy where required by law.

25. Third-Party Platforms and Providers

The Services may rely upon third-party platforms and providers, including:

• Kajabi;
• payment processors;
• video-hosting providers;
• email-service providers;
• webinar and video-conferencing platforms;
• advertising platforms; and
• other technology and professional-service providers.

Your use of a third-party platform may also be subject to that provider’s terms and privacy practices.

We are not responsible for independent third-party services outside our reasonable control. This does not remove any responsibility that SCA cannot lawfully exclude.

26. No Guarantee of Results

Purchasing or using a product or Service does not guarantee any particular fundraising, income, grant, membership, sponsorship, commercial, organisational or financial result.

Results depend on factors including:

• your circumstances;
• the circumstances of your club;
• your effort and implementation;
• available volunteers and resources;
• market conditions;
• local demand;
• legal and regulatory requirements;
• decisions made by grant providers or third parties; and
• other matters outside our control.

Further information is contained in our Disclaimer Policy and Income Disclaimer Policy.

27. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms of Purchase excludes or limits liability for:

• death or personal injury caused by negligence where liability cannot lawfully be excluded;
• fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
• wilful misconduct;
• breach of a mandatory consumer right;
• liability expressly accepted under a separate written agreement; or
• any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Subject to applicable law, SCA is not liable merely because:

• you did not achieve an anticipated result;
• you failed to complete or use the product;
• your club did not reimburse you;
• you relied on general information without obtaining appropriate professional advice;
• you supplied incomplete or inaccurate information;
• a third-party platform experienced an outage;
• you used an incompatible device or browser;
• you shared or compromised your login credentials; or
• you used the Services outside their intended purpose.

Where you purchase wholly or mainly for business, professional, club or organisational purposes, SCA will not be liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of anticipated profits, loss of fundraising income, loss of opportunity or loss arising from decisions made using general educational material, except where such liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

Any additional limitation or financial cap applying to a particular consultancy or professional engagement may be stated in the separate written agreement governing that engagement.

28. Indemnity

Where you are acting wholly or mainly for purposes connected with a trade, business, profession, club or organisation, you agree to indemnify SCA against reasonable losses, claims and costs arising directly from:

• your unlawful use of the Services;
• your unauthorised reproduction or distribution of SCA content;
• your infringement of another person’s rights;
• your deliberate misuse of an account or payment process; or
• your material breach of these Terms of Purchase.

This indemnity does not apply to the extent that a loss was caused by SCA or where applying it would conflict with mandatory law.

29. Events Outside Our Control

We are not responsible for delay or failure to perform an obligation where that delay or failure is caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Such circumstances may include:

• internet, hosting or telecommunications failures;
• power outages;
• cyberattacks or security incidents;
• failure of a third-party platform;
• industrial disputes;
• government restrictions;
• natural disasters;
• serious illness or emergency;
• war, terrorism or civil disturbance; or
• another event that could not reasonably have been prevented.

Where such an event occurs, we will take reasonable steps to reduce disruption and resume performance when reasonably possible.

30. Complaints and Dispute Resolution

If you have a complaint, please contact us at [email protected] and provide:

• your full name;
• the email address used for your purchase;
• your order details;
• a clear description of the issue; and
• the remedy you are requesting.

We will make reasonable efforts to investigate and respond within a reasonable period.

The parties may agree to mediation or another dispute-resolution process. Neither party is required to mediate before commencing legal proceedings unless a separate written agreement expressly requires it.

31. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Purchase and all purchases made from SCA are governed by the laws of Ireland.

Subject to any mandatory right you may have to bring proceedings elsewhere, the courts of Ireland will have jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms of Purchase or a purchase from SCA.

Nothing in these Terms of Purchase deprives a consumer of the protection of mandatory laws that apply in the consumer’s country of residence.

32. General Provisions

If any provision of these Terms of Purchase is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect.

A failure or delay by SCA in enforcing a right does not waive that right.

You may not assign or transfer your rights under a purchase without our prior written permission.

We may transfer our rights or obligations as part of a business transfer, restructuring or change of service provider, provided that doing so does not materially reduce your mandatory rights.

These Terms of Purchase, the relevant sales page, checkout details, order confirmation and any applicable additional terms constitute the agreement relating to your purchase.

Nothing in these Terms of Purchase creates a partnership, employment relationship, agency or joint venture between you and SCA.

No person other than the purchaser and SCA has any right to enforce these Terms of Purchase unless expressly stated otherwise.

33. Changes to These Terms of Purchase

We may update these Terms of Purchase from time to time to reflect changes to:

• our products and Services;
• our payment or checkout processes;
• applicable laws or regulations;
• our business operations;
• technology or security requirements; or
• third-party platforms.

The Terms of Purchase applying to a purchase will ordinarily be the version presented and accepted when that purchase was completed.

A later change will not retrospectively alter a completed purchase unless:

• the change is required by law;
• you expressly agree to the change;
• the change benefits you; or
• the original agreement permits the change and the change is fair and proportionate.
