Privacy Policy

Talisman Group Pty Ltd. believes in protecting your privacy. Please click here to review our current Privacy Policy, which also governs your use of the Website and, as stated above, is incorporated by reference, to understand our practices: Privacy Policy.

The Booking Contract

Your booking in the training program will be confirmed via confirmation email and a contract will exist when Blockchain Smart Solutions issues a written confirmation after receipt of the total payment amount. Please check your confirmation carefully and report any incorrect or incomplete information to Blockchain Smart Solutions immediately. Please ensure that names are exactly as you want them to be.

You agree to provide full, complete and accurate information to Blockchain Smart Solutions.

Booking On Behalf Of Others

By booking on behalf of other participants, you are deemed to be the designated contact person for every participant included on that booking. This means that you are responsible for making all payments due in connection with your training booking, notifying Blockchain Smart Solutions if any changes or cancellations are required and keeping your party informed. By booking on behalf of another person or persons, you represent and warrant that you have obtained all required consents. You are responsible for verifying that any information you provide on behalf of another participant is complete and accurate and Blockchain Smart Solutions will under no circumstances be liable for any errors or omissions in the information provided by you to complete a booking.

Special Requirements

Any special requirements must be disclosed to Blockchain Smart Solutions at the time of booking. Blockchain Smart Solutions will use reasonable efforts to accommodate special requirements or requests but this is not always possible.

Validity

All dates for training programs are subject to change (due to any flight interruptions or other impacts) at any time and the ideal revised dates will be provided to you in the best interest of the training participants.

Force Majeure

Blockchain Smart Solutions will not be liable in any way for death, bodily injury, illness, damage, delay or other loss or detriment to person or property, or financial costs both direct and indirect incurred, or for Blockchain Smart Solutions failure to commence, perform or complete any duty owed to you if such death, delay, bodily injury (including emotional distress or injury), illness, damage or other loss or detriment to person or property is caused by Act of God, war or war like operations, mechanical breakdowns, terrorist activities or threat thereof, civil commotions, labor difficulties, interference by authorities, political disturbance, howsoever and where so ever any of the same may arise or be caused, riot, insurrection and government restraint, fire, extreme weather or any other cause whatsoever beyond the reasonable control of Blockchain Smart Solutions; or an event which Blockchain Smart Solutions or the Third Party Supplier of services, even with all due care, could not foresee any and all of which, individually and collectively, constitute “Force Majeure”.

Prices, Surcharges And Taxes

The price of the Training program and any products or services offered and after the signing of the purchase agreement (and after receipt of full payment for the “Service” by Blockchain Smart Solutions) is firm and final from 30 days before departure. The training programs are priced and advertised exclusive of applicable sales taxes. 

Cancellation Policy

In case of cancellation of your or the Participant’s Training (if upon your or Participant’s convenience), 70% of the total shall be reimbursed to you or to the Participants of the Training, provided they inform Blockchain Smart Solutions in writing 30 days (twenty calendar days) before the commencement of the Training program. Any claims within the last 30 days (thirty calendar days) before the commencement of the Training will not be refunded. 

Such reimbursement shall be released back to you or to the Participants’ bank account within 30 days (thirty calendar days) of receipt of their written intimation. All payments (both ways) will be processed through banking cheques and/or electronic transfer to your nominated bank account and/or bank debit/credit card.

Bank And Credit Card Fees

Your payment is processed in Australia, when we process your payment. 

Blockchain Smart Solutions may have to verify: (i) the validity of the payment card (through a charge of a nominal value that is either refunded within a few days or deducted from the final payment due to the supplier) and, (ii) the availability of funds on the payment card (to be confirmed by the bank issuing the your credit card).

Some banks and credit card companies impose fees for international or cross border transactions. For instance, if you are making a booking using a non US-issued card with a US merchant, your bank may charge you a cross border or international transaction fee. Furthermore, booking your training program may be considered an international transaction by your bank or card company, since we may pass your card details to an international supplier to be charged. In addition, some banks and card companies impose fees for currency conversion. For instance, if you are making a booking in a currency other than the currency of your credit card, your credit card company may convert the booking amount to the currency of your credit card and charge you a conversion fee. The currency exchange rate and foreign transaction fee is determined solely by your bank on the day that they process the transaction. If you have any questions about these fees or the exchange rate applied to your booking, please contact your bank.

Flexibility And Unused Services

The schedules, venue, amenities and mode of training delivered are subject to change without notice due to unforeseeable circumstances or events outside the control of Blockchain Smart Solutions (including but not limited to Force Majeure, illness, mechanical breakdown, flight cancellations, strikes, political events and entry or border difficulties). No reimbursements, discounts or refunds will be issued for services that are missed or unused due to no fault of Blockchain Smart Solutions, including your negligence or breach of these Terms.

Acceptance Of Risk

You acknowledge that the products and services offered by Blockchain Smart Solutions may involve a significant amount of risk to your health and safety. By interacting with Blockchain Smart Solutions, you acknowledge that you have considered any potential risks to health and safety. You hereby assume responsibility for all such risk and releases Blockchain Smart Solutions from all claims and causes of action arising from any losses, damages or injuries or death, included in services or products otherwise offered by Blockchain Smart Solutions. You and the other participants must at all times strictly comply with all applicable laws and regulations of all countries and regions. Should you fail to comply with the above or commit any illegal act during the training or, if in the opinion of Blockchain Smart Solutions (acting reasonably), your behavior is causing or is likely to cause danger, distress or material annoyance to others, Blockchain Smart Solutions may terminate your arrangements on any product or service immediately at your expense and without any liability on Blockchain Smart Solutions’s part. You will not be entitled to any refund for unused or missed services or costs incurred as a result of termination of your contract, including, without limitation, return travel, accommodations, meals, and incidentals.

You agree to take all prudent measures in relation to your own safety while in the training program, including, but not limited to, the proper use of safety devices (wherever applicable) and obeying all posted signs and oral or written warnings regarding health and safety. Neither Blockchain Smart Solutions nor its Third-Party Suppliers (as defined herein) are liable for loss or damages caused by your failure to comply with safety instructions or warnings. You agree to bring any complaints to Blockchain Smart Solutions as soon as possible in order to provide Blockchain Smart Solutions with the opportunity to properly address such complaints. Blockchain Smart Solutions assumes no liability for complaints that are not properly brought to the attention of Blockchain Smart Solutions and cannot resolve or attempt to resolve complaints until proper notice is provided. Any complaint made after the completion of a Training program or any other engagement with Blockchain Smart Solutions must be received in writing by Blockchain Smart Solutions within 30 days of the last day of training program in question.

Disputes

Blockchain Smart Solutions is committed to customer satisfaction, so if you have a problem or dispute, we will try to resolve your concerns. But if we are unsuccessful, you may pursue claims as explained in this section. 

You agree to give us an opportunity to resolve any disputes or claims relating in any way to the Website, any dealings with our customer service agents, any services or products provided, any representations made by us, or our Privacy Policy (“Claims”) by contacting us. If we are not able to resolve your Claims within 60 days, you may seek relief through arbitration or in small claims court, as set forth below. 

Any and all Claims will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except you may assert Claims on an individual basis in small claims court if they qualify. This includes any Claims you assert against us, our subsidiaries, suppliers or any companies offering products or services through us (which are beneficiaries of this arbitration agreement). This also includes any Claims that arose before you accepted these Terms of Use, regardless of whether prior versions of the Terms of Use required arbitration. 

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including statutory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs), and must follow and enforce these Terms of Use as a court would.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your Claims to “Blockchain Smart Solutions Legal: Arbitration Claim Manager,” at Talisman Group Pty Ltd. 222 Crown Street, Grantham Farm, NSW 2065, Australia. If we request arbitration against you, we will give you notice at the email address or street address you have provided.
