Terms & Conditions

Welcome to Motherhood By Design!

We know it’s not much fun, but it’s important that you read these Terms of Use page. These conditions apply to your use of Motherhood By Design Services, applications, website, our Live Chat services and media streaming services (Services).

If you don’t like what you see or you don’t agree to the Terms of Use, we will be really sad to see you go, but please stop using our Services because your continued use means you agree to, and accept these Terms of Use.

Our Privacy Policy, along with any other terms and conditions that appear in or are linked to our Website, also form part of these Terms of Use.

What is Motherhood by Design?

Motherhood By Design is brought to you by Motherhood By Design Pty Ltd (us, we our). Motherhood By Design is a subscription service that provides our subscribers with access to an amazing range of programs, videos, informational content, factsheets and other audio-visual entertainment (Content) which can be streamed directly to compatible televisions, computers, phones, tablets and other devices (Devices).

Subscriptions

To access the range of our Services you will need to sign up as an Motherhood By Design subscriber (Subscription). Amongst other things, Subscription gives you partial access to the Motherhood By Design Content, related to what stage you are at on your journey. You also have the option to unlock the next chapter by simply clicking the unlock button on the section you are wanting access to. The aim of this is to give you the information you need to now first without bombarding you with too much content and becoming overwhelmed and overloaded.

You can select either monthly Subscription or annual Subscription. We will charge you a fee either monthly or annually for your Subscription depending on which option you select when signing up (Subscription Fee).

Subscription will commence on the day you first pay your Subscription Fee and will expire one calendar month thereafter for a monthly Subscription, or twelve months thereafter for an annual Subscription.

Your Subscription will automatically renew for the same term upon expiry unless terminated in accordance with these Terms of Use.

The Subscription Fee is currently:

Monthly $18.00
Yearly $196.00

Some Subscriptions may come with special offers, discounts or different terms to those disclosed in the Terms of Use (Offers). If any Offers apply to your Subscription these will be communicated to you when signing up. You can find specific details regarding your Subscription by clicking on the ‘Account’ link on the website (My Profile).

Pricing includes current GST (Goods and services tax).

Billing

On signing up for Subscription, you must provide us with a current, valid, accepted method of paying the Subscription Fee (Payment Method). We currently only accept Paypal, Visa and MasterCard. Your Payment Method can be changed through My Profile.

By signing up for Subscription and providing us with a Payment Method you authorise us to automatically charge you the Subscription Fee via the Payment Method.

The Subscription Fee is charged in advance via direct debit monthly or annually (depending on which Subscription you selected), on the date corresponding to the date on which you initially commenced payment for your Subscription (Billing Date). Your Billing Date can be found via the ‘View Billing Details’ section of My Profile.

We may vary your Billing Date without notice at times to account for:

differences between months (e.g. if your monthly Billing Date is the 31st, for 30 day months you will be charged on the 30th);
where your Payment Method has not been charged successfully and we are re-attempting to charge you;
leap years; or
where you have changed from monthly to annual Subscription or vice versa.

You may download a tax invoice for payments in the ‘My Account’ section.

The issuer of your Payment Method may charge you a foreign transaction fee or other charges for payment of the Subscription Fee if you are not based in Australia.

The Subscription Fee is inclusive of all other fees and taxes (if applicable).

Termination by you

You can terminate your Subscription at any time by sending written notice to contact@motherhoodbd.com or through ‘My Account’.

You will still have full access to the Services and be required to pay for your Subscription until the next Billing Date.

For example, if you have an annual Subscription you will still have full access to the Services and be required to pay for your Subscription until the anniversary of the date you first paid for your Subscription.

You need to terminate your Subscription at least three clear days before the next Billing Date otherwise your Subscription will automatically renew for the same term.

For example, if you first paid for a monthly Subscription on the 7th of October, you need to let us know that you are terminating your Subscription by the 3rd of November otherwise you will have to pay for the Subscription up until the 6th of December.

Termination by us

In addition to other rights we may have, if you do not pay your Subscription Fees, we suspect you or a third party are using the Subscription or Services improperly (such as by sharing your Subscription with multiple people or posting inappropriate comments), or illegally or if you otherwise do not comply with these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to immediately terminate or suspend your Subscription and access to the Services without notice to you.

Liability

Our goal is to provide you with the best range of health and wellness content possible. We are constantly working to achieve this, however we cannot promise that everything will be perfect all of the time.

These Terms of Use do not limit any non-waivable rights that you may be entitled to under the laws of the country you reside in. In Australia, our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law set out in Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth). You may be entitled to a resupply or refund for a major failure of the Services.

All intellectual property rights in the Content and Services are reserved accordingly, aside from the limited personal licence which has been granted to you in these Terms of Use.

We take copyright protection very seriously. If you believe your work has been reproduced or distributed in a way that constitutes copyright infringement or if you are aware of any infringing material available through our Services please notify us via our Contact Us page.

We do not accept unsolicited materials or ideas for content – please do not send them to us. Because we do not read unsolicited materials we need to protect ourselves in case we come up with an idea that is similar to yours. Accordingly, should you send any unsolicited materials or ideas, you do so with the understanding that no payment of any sort will be provided to you, and you are waiving any claim against us regarding the use of such materials and ideas, even if we implement an idea or material that is substantially similar to what you submitted to us.

Changes

Sometimes we might make changes to these Terms of Use and the Services.

If we make changes that are directly related to your Subscription (specifically Subscription Fees, Refunds and Termination), we will let you know by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect so that you may terminate your Subscription in accordance with these Terms of Use if you are not happy with them (this will also apply if you have an annual Subscription).

If we make any other changes to the Services then we may do this without notice to you. You should regularly review these Terms of Use to keep up to date with the latest changes as they will apply to your continued use of the Services.
