General Terms and Conditions of Participation

Leadership Essentials for Museums, Arts and Non-profit Managers

General Terms

Agreement to these terms is a condition of participation in the Leadership Essentials for Museums, Arts and Non-profit Managers program, hereafter known as "Essentials".

Group Allocation

1. Essentials is run over 6 online sessions (75-90 minutes), each taking place weekly over Zoom. It is conducted in small groups (min 5, max 10). Each group completes the program as a cohort, with their sessions being held on the same day and time each week.

2. Minimum numbers are required for the group to proceed as scheduled.

3. As a general policy, participants from the same organisation will not be placed in the same group. Exceptions will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis and only with the express consent of all affected parties.

Payment, Cancellation and Refund Policy

1. A participant’s place is secured upon payment of the registration fee.

2. Once the minimum registration number for the selected group has been reached, the registration fee is non-refundable (except where required under Australian Consumer Law).

3. If the group does not reach minimum numbers prior to the start date, the participant will have the choice of being placed in an alternative group or receiving a full refund.

4. Participants are to provide 24 hours’ notice (via email) if they choose to exit Essentials early. The registration fee will not be refunded unless required by Australian Consumer Law.

5. If the exit is due to circumstances outside of the participant’s control, reallocating the participant to a different group at a future date may be considered. This may be accommodated for no fee or a reduced fee, depending on the circumstances.

Terms of Participation

1. It is expected that participants will attend and participate in all six sessions (best endeavours).

2. The online sessions follow a facilitated peer-coaching model, which will include a combination of presentation material, reflection and discussion. To make the most of the sessions it is expected that all participants will be in a place where they can hear and speak openly. Camera-on discussions may be valuable at times, however in the interests of inclusion this will not be a requirement.

3. There may be recommended reading or activities set between sessions. These are optional, but completing the activities will assist participants in getting the most out of each session.

4. Session summaries, participant testimonials and other materials may be collated during Essentials for promotional purposes. This will be done in a way that does not identify individual participants (except with their prior written consent).

Confidentiality, Intellectual Property and Liability

1. The nature of Essentials means all participants need to feel free to share their experiences honestly and openly. To facilitate this, sessions will be run using the Chatham House Rule. Under this rule, participants may share what they hear discussed in general terms but not reveal the identity or affiliation of who said what. Participants must not divulge or act upon any information shared in confidence.

2. Recording of sessions or use of AI-powered transcribers/note takers is forbidden.

3. Selected sections of sessions may be recorded for use as training materials. Participants will be advised in advance when a session or part thereof is being recorded. Recordings will be limited to the presentation of content. Participant discussions will not be recorded.

4. Except where source material is duly credited, the materials used and presented in Essentials are the intellectual property of interactivate. They may not be used or shared in any context outside of the program without prior written consent.

5. Essentials is not intended to be a formally accredited education or training course. It is targeted at people for whom such courses may not be relevant or accessible at this stage of their career.

6. The materials presented in Essentials have been prepared with care and diligence, however it is the responsibility of all participants to make their own judgement regarding their relevance and applicability to their own particular circumstances. To the extent permitted by law, participants release interactivate as well as their fellow participants from all liability and responsibility in any way for any loss arising at any time as a result of any reliance on materials used or discussions held during Essentials. Nothing presented in Essentials should be construed as legal or professional HR advice.

The obligations of confidentiality in this Agreement are ongoing, and survive the termination of Essentials. The releases in this Agreement are ongoing, and survive termination of Essentials.
