The Promoter requires all Buyers to be respectful and professional to our staff, venue staff, speakers, and other Buyers and their guests throughout the Seminar, including during non-scheduled downtime and breaks.

5. DISCLAIMERS

Our Seminars and Programmes are for educational and informational purposes only. As stipulated by law:

  • We make no guarantees that you will achieve any specific results or make any money from our information
  • We offer no professional, legal, therapeutic, or financial advice
  • Our training cannot replace or substitute for the services of certified professionals in any field, including, but not limited to, financial, health, or legal matters
  • We do not purport anything we do or teach as a "get rich scheme"
  • Any financial figures outlined in our training are examples, opinions, and illustrations and should not be considered average earnings, exact earnings, or promises for your actual or future performance
  • Past successes or results cannot be used as an indication of your or anyone's future success or results

You should check with your accountant, lawyer, or professional advisor before acting on any information provided during our Seminars or Programmes.

6. LIABILITY WAIVER

You alone are responsible and accountable for your decisions, actions, and results in life. By registering for our Seminars or Programmes, you agree not to hold us liable for any such decisions, actions, or results, at any time, under any circumstance.

You specifically release the Promoter and our representatives or contractors from liability for:

  • Any special or consequential damages that result from the use of, or inability to use, the information or strategies communicated through our Seminars, Programmes, materials, websites, or services
  • Any business losses or personal losses that may result from applying concepts taught

Buyer hereby accepts all risk to their business and health that may result from participation in the Seminar and Programme, excluding personal injury or death resulting from the Promoter's negligence.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

All materials provided before, during, and after the Event, including but not limited to presentations, handouts, videos, workbooks, frameworks, recordings, and digital content within the Membership Area, are the intellectual property of Ant Hodges. You may not:

  • Record any portion of the Event without prior written permission
  • Reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works based on these materials
  • Share login credentials or access links for any digital content or the Membership Area
  • Use any materials to create, deliver, or sell your own competing training, courses, or programmes

Any breach of this section may result in immediate removal of access to the Membership Area without refund, and the Promoter reserves all rights to pursue further legal remedies.

8. PRICE AND PAYMENT

Currency

Unless stated otherwise in the Offer, all prices are quoted and charged in either British Pounds Sterling (£GBP) or United States Dollars ($USD). Where your card or bank account is held in another currency, your card issuer or bank sets the exchange rate and any conversion or foreign transaction fees are your responsibility.

VAT and Sales Taxes

Where VAT or any equivalent sales tax is applicable to your purchase, it will be calculated and charged at checkout at the current statutory rate in addition to the price on checkout. The applicable tax treatment depends on the nature of the Event and your location, and will be itemised on your receipt.

Payment Terms

  • Full payment is required prior to the Event
  • All payments must be received 7 clear business days before attending an Event
  • Acceptable payment methods include credit and debit cards and other methods specified at checkout
  • Should you wish to pay by bank transfer, please request an invoice for payment
  • Late payments may result in cancellation of your registration without notice

Payment Plans and Deposits

Where the Offer includes a deposit or payment plan:

  • Any deposit paid secures your place and is non-refundable unless stated otherwise in the Offer
  • All instalments must be paid on their due dates, and full payment must be received before the Event start date regardless of the plan schedule
  • If an instalment fails, the Promoter will attempt to collect it again and will notify you; if payment is not brought up to date within 7 days of notice, the Promoter may cancel your registration and any sums already paid will not be refunded
  • Choosing a payment plan is a commitment to pay the full price of the Offer, and cancelling attendance does not cancel the obligation to complete the remaining instalments unless the Cancellation Policy provides otherwise

Chargebacks

If you have a concern about a payment, you agree to contact the Promoter first at service@hodgesnet.com and allow a reasonable opportunity to resolve it. Initiating a card chargeback or payment dispute without first following this process is a breach of these Terms and Conditions. Where a chargeback is raised without merit, the Promoter reserves the right to suspend or remove your access to Events and the Membership Area, and to recover any fees, costs, and losses incurred in responding to the dispute. These Terms and Conditions and full details of the Offer purchased, including your confirmation on checkout for the acceptance of these Terms and Conditions, will be provided during any dispute resolution as evidence of your acceptance and to any legal counsel that may be involved in the case.

9. INCLUSIONS AND EXCLUSIONS

Each Event includes only what is expressly stated in the Offer on checkout or invoice. Unless the Offer states otherwise, Events are not residential and do not include accommodation, travel, transfers, food, or beverages.

Where the Offer for a Retreat states that accommodation, food, or beverages are included, they are included only to the extent and standard described in the Offer.

10. ONLINE EVENTS

Where an Event is delivered online, the following additional terms apply:

  • You are responsible for your own internet connection, device, software, virus security, firewall protection, VPN provision and any account access needed to join the Event
  • No refund, credit, or reschedule will be offered where you are unable to attend or fully participate because of a failure of your own equipment, software, or internet connection
  • Access details are provided for your use only; one login per Buyer, and you may not share, stream, or rebroadcast the Event to anyone who has not purchased a place
  • The Promoter may remove any attendee from an Online Event for conduct that breaches Section 4, with no refund

If a technical failure on the Promoter’s side prevents the live delivery of an Online Event, the Promoter will either reschedule the Event to an alternative date or offer you a full refund of the amount paid for that Event. This is your sole remedy in those circumstances.

11. RECORDINGS AND MEMBERSHIP AREA ACCESS

Where the Offer includes on-demand recordings of an Event, they will be provided through a secure Membership Area.

  • Access is personal to you and may not be shared, resold, or transferred
  • The duration of access is as stated in the Offer; where no duration is stated, access is provided for 12 months from the Event date
  • Recordings and materials are provided for your personal business education only and remain the intellectual property of Ant Hodges under Section 7
  • Downloading, copying, or redistributing recordings is prohibited unless the Offer expressly permits it
  • The Promoter may suspend or withdraw access where these Terms and Conditions are breached, with no refund

The Promoter does not guarantee that recordings will capture every part of a live Event, and breakout sessions, private coaching moments, Q&A sessions and informal discussion may not be included within recordings made available to you.

12. OVERSEAS RETREATS

Where an Event takes place outside the United Kingdom, or where you are travelling internationally to attend any Event, the following additional terms apply:

  • The Retreat includes only what is expressly stated in the Offer; everything else, including flights and travel to and from the Venue, is your responsibility and at your own cost
  • You are solely responsible for holding a valid passport, obtaining any visas or entry documentation required, and meeting any health or vaccination requirements of the destination country
  • You are required to hold comprehensive travel insurance for the full duration of the Retreat, covering trip cancellation, medical treatment, repatriation, and personal belongings; the Promoter may request proof of cover before the Retreat
  • The Promoter accepts no liability for travel disruption, delayed or cancelled flights, missed connections, denied boarding or entry, or any costs you incur as a result, including where the Retreat is rescheduled or relocated
  • You agree to comply with all local laws and customs of the destination country and with the rules of the Venue
  • You must disclose in writing, at least 14 days before the Retreat, any medical condition, dietary requirement, or accessibility need that may affect your participation; the Promoter will make reasonable efforts to accommodate needs disclosed in time
  • Participation in any optional activities during a Retreat is at your own risk, and you confirm you are fit to take part in any activity you choose to join

For Retreats, the Venue change provision in Section 13 does not apply. If the original Venue becomes unavailable, the Promoter may substitute a venue of a reasonably comparable standard in the same region and will notify you as soon as reasonably possible.

13. CANCELLATION POLICY

Nature of the Contract

Each Event is a service related to a leisure or educational activity which the Promoter contracts to provide on a specific date or dates. Places are limited, and the Promoter commits to venue, supplier, and delegate costs in reliance on your booking. You acknowledge that, in accordance with Regulation 28(1)(h) of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, the statutory 14-day cancellation right does not apply to contracts for such services.

Business Purchases

Where you purchase in the course of a business, trade, or profession, or on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are not contracting as a consumer, and no consumer cancellation rights apply to your purchase.

Goodwill Refund Period

Although the statutory cancellation right does not apply, the Promoter voluntarily offers the following goodwill terms. Where you purchase a place at an Event more than 30 days before the Event start date, you may cancel your purchase within 14 days of the date of purchase and receive a full refund, provided the Event has not yet taken place and you have not accessed any included digital content or bonuses. This goodwill period is offered at the Promoter's discretion and is more generous than the law requires.

Purchases Within 30 Days of the Event

Where you purchase a place at an Event 30 days or fewer before the Event start date, your purchase is final and non-refundable from the moment of purchase. By completing your purchase, you acknowledge at checkout that the Event takes place on a specific date, that the Promoter incurs committed costs on confirmation of your place, that you request immediate confirmation and access to any included digital content, and that no refund will be available. This acknowledgment forms part of your contract.

Digital Content and Bonuses

Where your purchase includes immediate access to digital content, you expressly request at checkout that access begins straight away, and you acknowledge that once access has begun, any statutory cancellation right in respect of that digital content is lost.

Failure to Attend

No refunds, credits, or transfers will be provided for failure to attend an Event for which you have registered, whatever the reason, except as set out under Date Changes and Substitutions below.

Date Changes and Substitutions

Tickets are non-transferable except as set out in this section. Under exceptional circumstances (serious illness, bereavement, or other significant personal emergencies), a request to change to an alternative date once may be considered by the Promoter at its sole discretion, subject to availability and a $50 administration fee payable immediately. You may request to substitute a named colleague to attend in your place, provided the request is made in writing at least 7 days before the Event and the substitute accepts these Terms and Conditions. Substitutions are not available for Retreats or for any Event where the Offer states places are personal to the Buyer.

Cancellation by the Promoter

The Promoter reserves the right to: for UK Events, change the Venue to an alternative within a 10-mile radius of the original Venue; reschedule the Event to an alternative date with at least 14 days' notice; modify the Event content, duration, or speakers as necessary; cancel the Event due to unforeseen circumstances; and cancel or reschedule the Event where minimum attendance numbers, as determined by the Promoter, are not met.

In the event of cancellation by the Promoter, Buyers will be offered a choice of: transfer to an alternative date; a credit for a future Event; or a full refund of the amount paid.

Where the Promoter cancels or reschedules an Event, the Promoter's liability is limited to the amount paid for the Event, and the Promoter is not responsible for travel, accommodation, or other costs you have incurred.

14. FORCE MAJEURE

Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performing their obligations where such failure or delay results from any cause that is beyond the reasonable control of that party. Such causes include, but are not limited to:

  • Power failure
  • Internet service provider failure
  • Acts of God
  • Epidemic or pandemic
  • Natural disasters
  • War, civil unrest, or terrorism
  • Governmental action, including travel restrictions, strikes and border closures
  • Any other event that is beyond the control of the party in question

If affected by such an event, the Promoter will contact the Buyer as soon as reasonably possible to notify them and will offer the remedies set out in Section 13 (Cancellation by the Promoter) where the Event cannot proceed.

15. ALTERATIONS TO ADVERTISED PACKAGES

  • All advertised tickets and prices are subject to availability
  • Every reasonable effort will be made to adhere to the advertised packages
  • Packages may be altered or dates changed either before or after confirmation of booking
  • Where alterations or date changes occur prior to booking confirmation, the Promoter accepts no contractual liability
  • Where alterations or date changes occur after booking confirmation, the Promoter will use reasonable endeavours to make alternative packages available

16. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

  • The Promoter will make reasonable efforts to accommodate special dietary requirements or accessibility needs when notified in advance
  • Notification of such requirements must be made in writing at least 7 days prior to the Event (14 days for Retreats)
  • The Promoter takes no responsibility for special dietary or allergic requirements if not notified in advance in writing

17. NETWORKING AND COMMUNICATION

The Promoter prohibits any unauthorised solicitation or networking activities. Specifically:

  • You may not collect contact details from other attendees without their explicit consent
  • Creating unofficial communication groups or communities from Event attendees is not permitted
  • Direct marketing or sales pitches to other attendees is prohibited
  • All attendee communication should occur through the official HodgesNet app, WhatsApp group or other channel provided by the Promoter unless mutually agreed by both parties prior to the Event

Violation may result in immediate removal from the Event with no refund as outlined in the Cancellation Policy.

18. PHOTOGRAPHY AND RECORDING

By attending any Event, whether in person or online, you consent to:

  • Being photographed, filmed, or recorded, including screen recordings of Online Events
  • Your appearance, voice, questions, and chat contributions being included in recordings, replays, and edited content
  • The use of such content in promotional materials, social media, the Membership Area, or educational products

If you do not wish to be photographed or recorded, you must notify the Promoter in writing prior to the Event. For Online Events, you may keep your camera off and use the chat privately where the platform allows, and the Promoter will make reasonable efforts to exclude you from promotional use of the recording on request.

19. DATA PROTECTION

  • The Promoter will collect and store your personal information in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR
  • Your information may be used to process your registration, communicate with you about the Event, and send you information about future Events
  • Your data will not be shared with third parties except as necessary for the delivery of the Event, which for Retreats may include sharing rooming and dietary information with the Venue
  • Full details are available in our Privacy Policy

20. COMPLAINTS

If you are unhappy with any aspect of an Event or Programme, please contact the Promoter at service@hodgesnet.com within 14 days of the Event. The Promoter will acknowledge your complaint within 5 business days and aim to resolve it within 30 days.

21. GENERAL

Entire Agreement

These Terms and Conditions, together with the Offer and our Privacy Policy, form the entire agreement between you and the Promoter in relation to the Event or Programme, and supersede any prior discussions or representations.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be removed or limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

Variation

The Promoter may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. The version published at the time of your purchase applies to that purchase. Continued use of the Membership Area after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated terms for that ongoing access.

No Waiver

Any failure by the Promoter to enforce a provision of these Terms and Conditions does not waive the right to enforce it later.

22. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising under these Terms and Conditions shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. This applies regardless of where the Event takes place or where you are located, and nothing in this section affects any mandatory consumer rights you hold under the laws of your country of residence.
