Terms and Conditions
Preamble.
a)This Web Site (the "Site") is an online information, career management/outplacement assistance service provided by Associated Career Management Australia (the "Company") - Crosby Holdings Trust & Brickwest P/L t/a Associated Career Management Australia ACN 007 435 761 • ABN 93 045 890 549 and is subject to your compliance with these Terms and Conditions as set forth below. These Terms and Conditions form the basis for the contractual engagement of the Company's assistance services (online or otherwise), whether by way of any third-party contractual agreement, written or oral agreement, on-site registration or any other instruction or advice and shall be binding on all natural persons, organisations and/or corporate entities and their representatives alike.
a.1)NOTE: All written content on this website, including articles and blogs, is original in creation and not AI-generated.
b)These Terms and Conditions are binding on all enquiring persons/entities and Licensed Users alike.
c)A "Licensed User" (participant or participating person) is a natural person to whom the Company has granted access to its online Career Management System (known as "Career Talk") following their registration on the Site and unqualified acceptance of these terms and conditions.
d)The Company's Online Career Management System, "Career Talk", is the proprietary learning and development system that forms part of the Site and is accessed via the CLIENT AREA tab by licensed users only.
e)Please read this page carefully...contractual engagement of the Company's assistance services (refer to Preamble a)) by any natural persons, organisations and/or corporate entities and their representatives alike (online or otherwise, as above) is in fact, a Common Law contract for the provision of Professional Services and represents an automatic acknowledgement, acceptance of and consent to these Terms and Conditions by all and any (directly or indirectly) interested or involved party or parties.
IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS STATED HERE, DO NOT USE THE SITE OR THE COMPANY'S ASSISTANCE SERVICES (ONLINE OR OTHERWISE).
f)Contractual engagement of the Company's assistance services (refer to Preamble a)) immediately creates unique legal, ethical and long-term obligations/liabilities, including Duty of Care, and risk on the Company, its employees and consultants (do not equate engagement of the Company's assistance services as being the same as the purchase of a physical piece of equipment or hiring a tradesperson etc....as it is not). The clinical relationship between the participating person/s and counsellor/consultant is separate from the original commercial contract created to engage the Company's assistance services (online or otherwise) in the first instance.
g)This page states the Terms and Conditions under which you may use the Site and assistance services offered and supplied by the Company through the Site (online or otherwise). The right to use any assistance services offered by the Company is specific to the individual, organisation and/or corporate entity, and is not transferable to any other person, organisation and/or corporate entity.
h)The Company reserves the right to change or modify the Terms and Conditions applicable to the Site and its associated assistance services or to impose new Terms and Conditions without notice.
i)The Company is the sole proprietor, primary developer, originator and manager of its programs, systems and methods. Engagement of the Company's assistant services DOES NOT transfer ownership or imply the transfer of any legal rights whatsoever to other persons, organisations and/or corporate entities. The conduct of any career management assignment is based on the ACMA case management process, with the program's final design, implementation, and delivery process always being at the sole discretion and professional expertise of the Company.
j)The Company provides a safe and professional environment for both prospective and active program participants. All prospective and/or active licensed users, plus any other interested parties (a natural person, any business, organisation, corporate entity and/or related third party) are expected to interact with the Company's personnel in a professional, polite and non-threatening manner, and in accordance with prevailing community workplace conduct standards and laws.
k)In the event of any contractual or interpretational conflict that may arise between any interested party/s and the Company, then these Terms and Conditions will automatically override, take precedence and prevail over all others, including both written contracts and/or oral agreements (refer to Sections 14a, 15a & 15b).
l)Any interested stakeholder or licensed user consents to receive communications from the Company electronically. The Company will communicate with a licensed user by email (using the email address provided to the Company either during the registration process or when updating the licensed user's email address) or by posting notices on the ACMA "Career Talk" Career Management System. The licensed user agrees that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that the Company provides electronically satisfy any legal requirements that such communications be in writing. In addition to, but not limited to the foregoing, any notices from interested stakeholders with the Company shall be given by email.
m)These Terms and Conditions include our Privacy Policy, which is set out on a separate web page.

c)A licensed user unconditionally agrees to become "the guarantor of last resort" for the full payment of all fees (as specified in clause Section 11j1). This applies irrespective of any third-party involvement or prior commitment to the licensed user to fund or pay the fees on their behalf, plus any similar promise to the licensed user to refund the fees to the licensed user. Such arrangements are deemed a contractual agreement solely between the third party/s and the licensed user. Any such arrangements do not infer or incur any contractual, common law, vicarious liability, or involvement on the Company whatsoever. A licensed user's personal or third-party payment arrangements/methods are entirely their own responsibility.
d)A licensed user agrees to use the services offered by the Company in a manner consistent with all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations.

Any activity that restricts or inhibits any other user from using the services of the Company is also prohibited. Unless allowed by a written agreement, you may not post or transmit advertising or commercial solicitation on the Site.
e)The contents of the Site, such as text, graphics, images and other material ("Material"), are protected by Australian and foreign copyright and trademark laws.

h)If a licensed user violates any of these Terms and Conditions, your permission to use the Material automatically terminates. You must immediately destroy any copies you have made of the Material, close your Login, and immediately cease using or accessing the Site.

f)Where a program is funded by a third party (a natural person, any business, organisation, corporate entity and/or related third party) the clinical nature of the relationship with the participating person and counsellor/consultant means that no information (excepting personal welfare issues) about any participating persons or groups progress or otherwise can be discussed or disclosed by the Company and/or its consultants to any natural person, organisation and/or corporate entity (refer to our Privacy Policy statement on this website). The privacy, personal welfare and betterment of the participating person/s take precedence over all else. All interest, benefit and ownership in the funded program automatically become the sole property for the unlimited exclusive use of the nominated participating person/s.
g)Where a program is funded or promised to be by a third party (a natural person, any business, organisation, corporate entity and/or related third party), the person, entity and/or its responsible officers will provide all reasonable initial and ongoing unimpeded assistance, support, consideration, accurate and salient information, including participant/s name/s email addresses and mobile phone numbers (their "immediate contact details") to the Company to enable completion of the contract. Plus, refrain from any intervention or interference and ensure complete compliance with these Terms and Conditions by all involved parties. If applicable, also provide adequate on-site facilities (including reliable internet access) and safety to the Company and/or its consultants.
h)Where a program is funded by a third party (a natural person, any business, organisation, corporate entity and/or related third party) and Reach Out support or EAP services are provided by the Company to a transitioning person/s, then this will be treated as an actual binding engagement of the Company's assistance services and will attract the same fee structure as specified in Section 11b (Reach Out and embedded EAP support services form an integral part of the Company's Outplacement assistance program).
