CLA is in the main business of organising educational courses and events in the field of Employer Branding.

2. Declaration of consent

I hereby give my consent for CLA to collect, process and use my personal data for the purposes of processing my enrolment and for reaching out to me directly with offers about future CLA courses, events and services of CLA Partners and sponsors. This information will also be used for the purposes of processing enrolments, ticket sales and compiling delegate lists which may be shared with our Partners and circulated by email to our email database, which includes all past and current delegates. It will also be used to improve our system for enhanced networking opportunities and tailored content.

I further give my permission for my user account details to be stored. I acknowledge and accept that my data may be used for commercial, marketing and advertising purposes such as marketing and sales emails, social media messages and advertisements, and newsletters. I acknowledge that I may provide CLA a reasonable timeframe to remove my details at any time that I no longer wish them to be stored. I acknowledge and accept that my data may be used for commercial purposes in accordance with this Data Protection Policy and Declaration of Consent and will be retained and stored for this purpose.

Australia

I hereby give my consent for CLA to use for the purposes of processing the mandatory data and any voluntary data I provide when enrolling in a CLA course. I further give my consent for the voluntary data provided.

4. Enrolment and registration confirmation

Once a successful purchase transaction has been completed, an enrolment is confirmed in writing in electronic copy by CLA or a registration partner (e.g. Eventbrite), via email to the email address nominated by the purchaser. CLA claims the right to reject any enrolment ticket purchase in maximum 7 days after the clarified payment. If this happens, we will refund the full price of the ticket less bank fees.

5. Enrolment and registration fees

Course enrolment and event registration fees are published on the EBC website and/or ticketing partner's (e.g. Eventbrite) website and are subject to change at any time as CLA sees fit.

Enrolments are non-transferable and can only be used by the assigned person, they cannot be shared with another person.

6. Invoices

If requesting to pay by invoice, the terms will be 14 days nett, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the organizers in writing. The enrolment cannot held or reserved and can only be confirmed upon payment of the full course fee.

Once the invoice is issued, the enrolment is subject to clause 13 Refund and cancellation policy.

7. Enrolment handling

You cannot resell any course enrolment. Doing so will void the enrolment and the course holder will not gain entry into the course. All enrolments must be assigned to an attendee, and all attendee details must be complete. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes name, job title and company name.

8. eLearning platform access

Participants will have access to the eLearning platform following their course orientation call up until the date of graduation.

9. Intellectual property and right to use

9.1.

You acknowledge and agree that all copyright, trademarks, brand names, images and all other intellectual property rights in material or content contained within the website or part of the course shall remain at all times owned by us or our licensors. You are permitted to use this material only as expressly authorised by us in writing for the purposes of completing your course.

9.2.

The course content cannot be shared or used by anyone other than the enrolled student and/or used in any other training course or similar program by the enrolled person, their company and/or any other third party without written permission and/or licence and/or agreement in place .

The course content cannot be used in any other training course including in-house training courses or public courses.

We reserve the right to seek damages for a breach of unauthorised use of the course content.

9.3.

The Fast Track Employer Brand Leaders Course is designed for all leaders including those from agencies, vendors, consultancies, coaching and/or other industry product/service providers.

All enrolments will be assessed to ensure that no conflict of interest exists with the Employer Banding College. For example, a conflict of interest would exist if the agency, vendor, consultant, coach and/or other industry product/service provider is currently (or planning to in the next 2 years) delivering employer brand training courses or programs. Where we believe a conflict of interest exists we reserve the right to deny an enrolment(s).

Leaders from agencies, vendors, consultancies, coaching and/or other industry product/service providers are not eligible to enrol in the accelerate, Certificate in Employer Brand Leadership or Employer Brand Executive Program courses due to the project assignment tasks for these courses.

In the event that a participant changes jobs during an accelerate, Certificate in Employer Brand Leadership or Employer Brand Executive Program course and begins employment with an agency, vendor, consultancy, coaching and/or other industry product/service providers, we reserve the right to cancel the enrolment following a review to determine if a conflict of interest exists (e.g. the new employer also offers employer brand training and/or event services).

9.4.

We agree to provide enrolled persons with complimentary access to the EBC Online Resource Centre, Online Library and/or any other name provided to the online portal of stored content in www.box.com, to support their studies. Access is for 6 months from the date of the course orientation session.

10. Fair use policy

10.1.

A fair use policy applies of no more than 10 downloads per day on no more than five occasions during the access period for the EBC Online Resource Centre. Users are not permitted to download entire folders, other than the folder containing the course text and case study books from the EBC Online Resource Centre. The resources can only be use for personal use by the enrolled student. A breach of this policy will result in access to the portal being cancelled.

We reserve the right to seek damages for a breach of unauthorised use of the course content.

10.2.

Content should not be downloaded from the eLearning platform without prior written permission. The courses are designed to be taken online and it is important to ensure learning items are 'marked as completed,' in order to track your learning progress.

11. Travel information

I acknowledge that CLA will not provide transport or travel expenses to or from any CLA educational course or event.

12. Course and/or event cancellation & postponement policy

CLA is not responsible for any loss or damage as a result of a cancellation or postponement of a CLA course and/or event. CLA shall assume no liability whatsoever in the circumstances that a CLA course and/event is cancelled, rescheduled or postponed due to a fortuitous event, Act of God, unforeseen occurrence or any other event that renders performance of an event impracticable, illegal or impossible. For purposes of this clause, a fortuitous event shall include, but not be limited to: war, fire, labour strike, extreme weather, pandemics, diseases, government directives, health authority directives or other emergency. For purposes of this clause CLA event tickets and partner or sponsorship fees are non-refundable. We encourage you to take out the necessary insurances to protect against any loss.

Please note that while course leaders, speakers and topics are confirmed at the time of publishing, circumstances beyond the control of the organisers may necessitate substitutions, alterations or cancellations of the course leaders, speakers and/or topics. As such, CLA reserves the right to alter or modify the advertised speakers and/or topics if necessary without any liability to you whatsoever. Any substitutions or alterations will be updated on our web page as soon as possible.

It is strictly forbidden for any company, organisation or attendee to attempt to host or organise any course and/or event or publish marketing content in conjunction with, contiguous to or purporting to be related to EBC without the express prior permission and cooperation of CLA. In the event of a breach of these terms any tickets purchased will be rendered null and void. CLA reserves their right to take such legal action including a claim for damages as may be appropriate.

The enrolment purchased is for your own personal use or that of your business only and may not be resold under any circumstances, including but not limited to use as part of any promotion or competition.

19. Academic integrity

EBC aims to foster and preserve the scholarly values of inquiry, experimentation, critical appraisal and integrity, and to foster these values in its students. Academic Integrity is a term used to describe honest behaviour as it relates to all academic work and is the foundation of College life. One of the main principles is respecting other people’s ideas and not claiming them as your own. Anyone found to have used another person’s ideas without proper acknowledgement is guilty of academic misconduct and EBC considers this to be a serious matter.

EBC wants its students to display academic integrity so that their qualifications are earned honestly and are trusted and valued by its students and their employers.

20. Course fees

Course fees must be paid prior to commencing the course. If approved to pay by instalments, participants are required to complete a credit card authorisation or direct debit confirmation so that instalments can be made by the due date by EBC. Outstanding course fees may result in suspension of your course until outstanding fees are paid.

The maximum course completion times are:

Accelerate: 4 calendar months

Certificate in Employer Brand Leadership: 6 calendar months

FAST TRACK Employer Brand Leaders Course: 4 calendar months

The time limit begins from the date of the course orientation session.

Participants who have not completed the course within the maximum completion time shall deem to have not completed the course and may be required to complete a new enrolment and pay the relevant course fee at the time of enrolment.

22. Deferment

We understand due to factors such as work, family and/or illness some students may request a deferment for their studies. Students can request a deferment in writing for up to two months to ensure they complete their studies within the course completion time limits.

Active attendance and participation in 1-1 and/or group sessions in our courses is an important part of the Certification process. In the event a student does not attend a scheduled 1-1 or group session without prior notice, Employer Branding College reserves the right to suspend and/or cancel the enrolment and access to the eLearning platform and Online Resource Centre. It is the responsibility of the student to contact and advise Employer Branding College if unable to attend a scheduled session.

23. Jurisdiction

The courts of Australia shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with your enrolment or its subject matter or formation.

We transfer your personal information in accordance with law, and take steps to ensure that your information is appropriately protected.

In particular, where we transfer information to countries that are not viewed as providing adequate protections, we generally rely on an approved mechanism known as the “standard contractual clauses” to protect the information transferred. These are template contracts published by the European Commission containing approved commitments to protect the privacy and security of the information transferred. To request a copy of the clauses, please contact us.

Where we use your information for direct marketing, you can always object using the unsubscribe link in such communications, changing your profile settings or by contacting us.
