GENERAL TERMS OF SERVICE
The terms and conditions set out in this page, together with the documents referred to within it, explain the terms and conditions on which Digital Engage (Pty) Ltd trading as Private Practice Growth Club, referred to as "Private Practice Growth Club" (“we”, ”us”, ”our”), supply any of the content, products, services, memberships, or subscriptions made available to you through this site (“these Terms”).


Please read these Terms carefully and ensure that you understand it, because by purchasing any content (“Material”), product, service, membership, or subscription (each “a Service” or several or all of them being “Services”), you agree to be bound by these Terms and warrant that you have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts. If you sign this agreement on behalf of another person (which may be a natural person, juristic person, or other entity), you warrant that you have the authority to do so.


If you do not wish to be bound by these Terms, then you may not buy, access, or use any of the Material or Services made available to you through this website. These Terms are referred to in the Service-specific terms as the “General ToS”.


1. The process for forming an agreement between you and us

1.1 We will confirm that we received your order, but such confirmation does not mean that we accept your order. All orders you place are subject to our acceptance of your offer to purchase a Service or Services and your agreement to be bound by these Terms (or any other terms and conditions applicable to a particular Service that is contained in a link on this page). The agreement between you and us will only form once the bank authorised your payment and we make the Service available to you. We may also refuse to accept your order for legitimate reasons.


1.2 The parties to these Terms are you and us. For the purposes of these Terms, Private Practice Growth Club includes its successors and assigns. You may also be referred to as a “Member”, "Student", "Customer" or "Client".


2. Opening an account

2.1 You will provide accurate information about yourself to us when you create an account and may not attempt to impersonate another individual. You will update the information should it change. If your payment details change and we can no longer collect your payments, we may suspend the Service until you make payment.
