Our website and Digital Products are intended for adults.

3. Educational information only

Content on this website is for general educational and informational purposes. It is not therapy, counselling, psychological treatment, medical care or individual professional advice. It should not be used as a substitute for care or advice from an appropriately qualified professional. Using the website, joining our email list, contacting us or purchasing a Digital Product does not create a psychologist-client, therapist-client, counsellor-client, doctor-patient, coaching or other professional care relationship between you and The Simplified Self. Website content is created for a general audience and cannot take your individual health, circumstances, history or support needs into account. You remain responsible for deciding whether general information or a self-guided practice is appropriate for your circumstances. If something feels uncomfortable, unsafe or unsuitable for you, you can stop or skip it and seek appropriate professional support. Please also read our Disclaimer, which provides further information about the educational nature and limitations of our content.

4. Accuracy and changes in information

We take reasonable care when preparing and reviewing our content. Wellbeing research, professional guidance, technology and other information can change over time. We do not promise that every piece of general educational content will remain complete, current or free from error indefinitely. Where we become aware of a material error, we may correct or update the relevant content. Nothing in this section allows us to make misleading representations or reduces any consumer right relating to a product or service you purchase from us.

5. No guaranteed results

People can respond differently to the same information or practice. We do not guarantee that using the website or our educational content will produce a particular emotional, psychological, physical or wellbeing outcome. Descriptions of an intended purpose, possible benefit or experience are not guarantees of individual results.

6. Website access

We aim to keep the website reasonably available and functioning. We may occasionally need to maintain, change, suspend or remove part of the website because of technical issues, security requirements, platform changes, legal obligations or changes to the business. We do not guarantee uninterrupted website availability. Temporary website downtime does not remove any rights you may have in relation to a Digital Product you have purchased.

7. Intellectual property

11. Affiliate and commercial links

Some website content may contain affiliate links or relate to another commercial relationship.

12. Privacy, cookies and marketing

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and handle personal information. Our website may use cookies and similar technologies for essential functions and, where enabled, analytics, advertising or measurement. Where applicable law requires consent before a technology is used, we will obtain the required consent. Where applicable law allows a particular low-risk functional or statistical technology to operate without prior consent, we may rely on that permission while meeting any transparency or choice requirements that apply. Joining our mailing list is separate from simply visiting our website or purchasing a Digital Product. Marketing communications are subject to the consent and unsubscribe arrangements explained in our Privacy Policy.

13. Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any liability, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified. To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for loss or damage to the extent it is caused by circumstances for which we are not legally responsible, including:

  • using general website information as a substitute for individual professional advice;

  • using content in a way that materially conflicts with an express safety instruction;

  • unauthorised alteration or redistribution of our material;

  • a device, internet connection or third-party service outside our reasonable control; or

  • another website, platform or service that we do not operate.

Nothing in these Terms excludes responsibility where applicable law requires us to be responsible.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms for future website use where our website, business, technology or legal obligations change. The current version and effective date will be published on this page. Changes to these Website Terms do not retrospectively alter the terms applying to a completed Digital Product purchase.

15. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. Subject to any mandatory law that applies to you, you and The Simplified Self submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts and tribunals of Victoria, Australia. Nothing in this section removes or restricts a mandatory right or remedy available to you under the law of another jurisdiction.
