2. Definitions

In these Terms & Conditions, the following expressions have the meanings set out below:

“Academy”, “we”, “us” or “our” refers to Coursedepneus Growth Academy.

“Participant” refers to any individual who enrols in or attends our training programs.
“Client” refers to the contracting party that pays for a training program, which may be an organisation or an individual.

3. Application of these Terms

These Terms & Conditions apply to:

use of our Website and online forms;
all enquiries, proposals and offers related to our Programs;
any training contract or agreement concluded between the Academy and a Client or Participant.

In case of conflict between these Terms & Conditions and a separate written agreement signed by both parties, the written agreement prevails for the specific program covered by it.

4. Eligibility and professional context

Our Programs are designed for adults acting in a professional capacity, such as founders, executives, managers, advisors or staff nominated by their employer.

Participants must be at least 18 years old.
When you enrol on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to do so.
The content of our Programs does not constitute personal financial advice for individuals and is not directed at retail consumers.

5. Formation of training contracts

A binding training contract is formed when one of the following occurs:

you receive written confirmation from us that your registration has been accepted; or
both parties sign a written agreement setting out the details of an in-company or tailored Program.

We reserve the right to decline registrations or enquiries at our discretion, for example where the program is full or where we believe there is a conflict of interest or other incompatibility.

6. Fees, invoicing and payment

Unless stated otherwise in a specific proposal or agreement:

fees for open Programs (cohorts, executive intensives) are payable in advance by the date indicated in the invoice;
fees for in-company Programs may be invoiced in instalments (for example, a deposit and a final payment) and are payable according to the agreed schedule;
all fees are quoted exclusive of any applicable taxes, which will be added as required by law.

Late payment may result in suspension of access to the Program or refusal of entry to sessions until outstanding amounts are settled.

7. Cancellations, rescheduling and substitutions

We recognise that plans may change, especially for busy leadership teams. Specific cancellation terms are set out in program proposals or joining instructions. Unless those terms state otherwise, the following baseline rules apply:

cancellations more than 30 days before the start date may receive a full or partial refund, excluding any non-recoverable costs;
cancellations within 30 days may incur a partial or full charge, depending on how close they are to the start date and on commitments already made;
clients may propose a substitute Participant from the same organisation, subject to suitability and our confirmation.

The Academy may reschedule or adapt a Program where necessary due to facilitator illness, low enrolment or other valid reasons. In such cases we aim to provide suitable alternatives or a refund of fees for sessions not delivered.

8. Participant responsibilities

Our Programs are most effective when Participants actively engage with the material and with one another. Participants agree to:

arrive on time and participate in good faith;
respect confidentiality boundaries agreed within the group;
avoid behaviour that disrupts the learning environment or disrespects other Participants;
comply with any policies of venues or online platforms used for the Program.

We reserve the right to remove a Participant from a Program in cases of serious misconduct or repeated disruption. In such cases, no refund is due.

9. Nature of information provided

Our Programs focus on frameworks, tools and case-based learning in the field of business growth through financial consulting.

content is provided for educational and informational purposes only;
nothing in our sessions, materials or communications should be interpreted as personalised financial, legal, tax or investment advice;
decisions taken by Participants or Clients on the basis of our Programs remain their own responsibility.

We encourage Clients and Participants to consult qualified advisors before taking specific financial or legal decisions.

10. Intellectual property

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the Academy (or its licensors) owns all intellectual property rights in:

11. Confidentiality and case discussions

Programs often involve sharing real business scenarios and financial situations. We take confidentiality seriously:

the Academy treats information shared by Clients and Participants as confidential, unless it is already public or must be disclosed by law;
Participants are expected to respect the confidentiality of other participants’ examples and not to share identifiable details outside the group;
we may use anonymised and aggregated insights from case discussions to improve our Programs.
