9.1 Dauntless Fitness promises a 30-day money back guarantee on all orders related to in-person fitness coaching.
9.2 This is a conditional guarantee made under the good faith argument that a customer is not happy with their results from the product offered whilst having completed all required exercise sets prescribed by their individual coach, as well as having used the built-in accountability tracker offered in their Google Sheets program.
9.3 Within the immediate 30 days following the successful order of a subscription from Dauntless Fitness the customer must complete at least 3 full weeks of their training program, logging every set of repetitions completed as well as ticking the accountability checkbox, and if they are still not satisfied with their results then they will be offered their money back for the training period they have worked with Dauntless Fitness as well as become eligible for a further 30 days of coaching for no charge.
9.4 This conditional guarantee is provided by Dauntless Fitness at their sole and absolute discretion and evaluation that the customer has fulfilled the obligation laid out in this article of the agreement.
9.5 In regards to physical products, Dauntless Fitness offers refunds for products received that are not of acceptable quality under Australian Consumer Law. Note this does not cover returns for reasons such as change of mind, or disputes about colour or make of the product if this has been covered in advance with the customer. If products do not match their product description and this has not been reasonably communicated to the customer in advance of their order then they have the full right to request a refund. Refunds will be processed within 30 days from the given request.
9.6 In regards to licensing for services related to personal training, Dauntless Fitness does not offer refunds for change of mind or inability to properly use the materials provided. Licensed materials are provided as-is and there is no guarantee of continuous updates or bug fixes in future. The licensee accepts that their ability to generate business using the materials is gated by their business acumen and sales skill, and Dauntless Fitness does not guarantee any form of business result from use of the materials. Licensed materials are charged with ’per-seat’ pricing, and it is the licensee’s responsibility to make sure Dauntless Fitness is made aware of any increases in the number of seats for the current subscription via written communication in order for Dauntless Fitness to allow access to the materials for subsequent seats. The licensee agrees by placing the order that Dauntless Fitness may update their subscription price and/or quantity at their discretion in order to update the subscription with any newly added seats. Licensee’s may cancel their order at any time and accept that this will result in the immediate cessation of access to Dauntless Fitness materials for themselves and any dependent seats covered through their subscription.
9.7 Licensed materials are the sole intellectual property of Dauntless Fitness and are allowed to be used, duplicated and shared only within the bounds of this agreement for the lifetime of the subscription. You agree to only share the materials with the advance written permission of Dauntless Fitness, using the same software and settings granted to you by Dauntless Fitness, as these include copy-protection. Any attempt to circumvent copy-protection and to duplicate written, auditory or video content without the advance written permission of Dauntless Fitness is strictly prohibited. For any edge cases or special circumstances, please contact us for our opinion on use of our intellectual property and we will be glad to assist you. After cancellation or cessation of your subscription for any reason you no longer have the right to access, use or modify any of Dauntless Fitness materials and must immediately cease use of the materials until a time you are once again an active subscriber. Outstanding payments must be paid within 14 days of them becoming overdue or Dauntless Fitness has full right to prevent your access to the licensed materials until your account is out of arrears.
10. Pausing Service
10.1 From time to time during ongoing service of a recurring coaching plan or similar service, a current client whose account is not in arrears is eligible to ask Dauntless Fitness to pause their service for a period of time not exceeding eight (8) consecutive weeks.
10.2 The client becomes eligible for this pause once they have been a paying customer for a consecutive eight (8) weeks of service, and every consecutive eight (8) weeks of service they become eligible, once again, to reset the amount of ‘paused time’ they are capable of asking for.
10.3 During this time their payments are paused and clients are not eligible to have any updates to their programming, nutrition, customer portal or other services. These updates will resume as normal once the client’s payment schedule once again becomes unpaused and current.
10.4 This article exists to allow clients the flexibility for holidays and time off training due to injury or other circumstances and paused time is not to be used to simply avoid payments or to attempt to limit the overall cost of services, or become eligible for discounts or other offers.
10.5 Clients resuming service do not qualify as ‘new’ clients for the purposes of any offer or discount.
10.6 Clients acknowledge and accept that their payments are paused at the same time as their services are paused, and release Dauntless Fitness from any obligation surrounding updates and currency of training and access to other services during the ‘paused’ period. Clients maintain a current ‘stock’ of paused time, and this time is used as they take time off, clients may take any number of weeks consecutively or non-consecutively as they wish, but the paused weeks may not total eight (8) weeks or more cumulatively without service resuming for a total of eight (8) weeks time. Should clients exceed their current amount of total paused weeks in stock, their service and payments will resume immediately.
10.7 Articles 10.1 through 10.7 are in regards to recurring coaching, either online or in-person, for training or nutrition purposes, and do not extend to licensed materials and their access.
10.8 Dauntless Fitness reserves the right to not offer the ability to pause payments to any client based on their own discretion at the time the client presents their request in writing.

Subsection A: Fixed-Term Agreements
Article 1: Contract Term
This document is a binding agreement with Dauntless Fitness to engage in a fixed term of personal training services delivered and paid for weekly. This fixed term is based upon a total session number completed weekly over the term, and varies based on the frequency of sessions selected by the customer. The number of sessions completed is therefore twenty 26, 52, 78 or 104 over the length of the term for a session frequency of 1, 2, 3, or 4 times per week, respectively. In simple terms, this is the number of sessions a customer would complete at that frequency over a 6 month period, and this agreement can be thought of as a 6 month fixed term. The total session count is used for tracking purposes as well as for the event of pausing or upgrading service over the term, and is why the term is determined by total session count completed and not by time elapsed.
Article 2: Pricing
Regardless of the session frequency selected, the customer receives a 20% ongoing discount to their personal training subscription. The non-discounted price is determined by the current rate of week-to-week personal training sessions currently offered by Dauntless Fitness.
Article 3: Cooling Off Period
Dauntless Fitness extends a no-questions-asked 14 day Cooling Off Period to every customer who signs this agreement. If, for any reason, during the 14 days after signing this agreement the customer wishes to terminate the agreement then they may do so, without facing any additional fees or penalties. The customer is still liable for any outstanding fees or payments that they have incurred by engaging with the service during this 14 day period. The customer is then fully able to continue engaging with services on a week-to-week basis or sign a new agreement and will then be entitled to this same Cooling Off Period again.
Article 4: Pause of Service
Pausing service during a fixed-term agreement works similarly to pausing on week-to-week agreements for ease of understanding, but has some key differences. Each customer gains one week of paused service and payments per week of paid service, which reaches a cap of eight weeks. Customers may choose to pause their service at any time, for any reason, by providing a written request to Dauntless Fitness and are not entitled to service during this paused period while their payments are halted. Payments and service will be halted within 24 hours from the written request being received and not from when it is sent. Customers may choose to pause for any length of time that they have available based on the total number of weeks they have banked, and then must rebuild their paused weeks by engaging in paid weeks of service. For this fixed-term agreement, this paused period simply extends the lifetime of the agreement in accordance with he paused period, so that the customer eventually completes and pays for each of the individual sessions they are liable for under the agreement. For example, a customer who would normally have completed their fixed-term in 6 months who engaged in a one month pause would then complete their term in 7 months, still having only paid for the 6 months of unpaused service that they engaged with.
Article 5: Renegotiation
If at any point during their fixed term the customer wishes to change their level of service, this can be done and the fixed term updated by Dauntless Fitness at their sole discretion upon written request by the customer. Any change to ongoing service will be subject to the Terms and Conditions of this agreement. The updated agreement will not incur any additional fees or charges beyond the cost of the ongoing service offering and will not generate a new Cooling Off Period. Downgrades to service will extend the lifetime of the fixed term in line with the time to complete the total number of sessions agreed upon at the initial creation of the agreement.
Article 6: Other Offers
From time to time Dauntless Fitness may offer other promotions or offers to customers who are engaged in week-to-week or fixed-term agreements for ongoing personal training services. The ability for these promotions to be used on top of the discounted rate of a fixed-term offer exists at the sole discretion of Dauntless Fitness and is not guaranteed. Customers may always add additional service offerings to their account such as individual one-off sessions, coaching calls and the like at any time during their fixed term, and these additional service offerings will not affect their fixed-term.
Article 7: Termination
Customers engaging in this fixed-term agreement have signed a binding agreement with Dauntless Fitness for personal training services and as such, termination of the agreement by the customer is considered breach of agreement and requires payment of the remaining cost associated with their contract term. Customers may choose to breach their agreement at any time by providing notice in writing to Dauntless Fitness. The customer is able to engage in a payment plan that may be negotiated with Dauntless Fitness, and they may also continue to engage in a tier of service that reflects the price of their ongoing payments. Dauntless Fitness does not levy any additional fees or charges for breach of contract and once the cost of the initial fixed-term agreement is paid in full the customer may choose to leave service or engage in different service offerings at their discretion. A customer in arrears is not entitled to service until their outstanding balance is paid in full and Dauntless Fitness reserves their right to engage with legal processes and other agencies, such as debt-collection agencies, in order to recoup outstanding payments. Dauntless Fitness reserves the right to terminate ongoing fixed-term agreements at their sole discretion by providing the customer with written notice via text or email and, if terminated in this way, the customer is not liable for any outstanding cost associated with the fixed-term agreement.
Article 8: Fees and Charges
Dauntless Fitness does not levy any additional fees or charges above or beyond the cost of ongoing service offerings. The cost of ongoing personal training services is offered through a fixed-term agreement at a 20% discounted rate from the price of the week-to-week service offered at the time the agreement is signed. Customers do not need to worry about any changes to pricing during their fixed-term agreement, nor any fees or charges associated with administration, joining or termination.
