Purchases

The Health Teachers' Network is an Australian entity and all prices quoted are in Australian dollars (AUD). 

If you wish to purchase any product or service made available through the HTN website, you are required to create an account. In order to create an account, you will be asked to supply certain information relevant to your purchase including:

  • Your name

  • Your email address

  • Your current school

Please see our privacy policy for information relating to the use of your personal information.

The following Terms and Conditions of Use apply to all purchases:

  • Only teachers and schools are permitted to purchase School-Assessed Coursework (SAC) tasks (tutors and students are not permitted to purchase SAC tasks). 

  • Purchasing schools are permitted to use all purchased SAC tasks and trial examinations within their school only.

  • Tutors wanting to attend a lecture (whether student or teacher sessions) must register as a teacher and are prohibited from duplicating supplied materials for commercial use. 

  • Teacher professional development sessions (including live and recorded webinars) are only to be viewed and accessed by the purchasing teacher. Third parties are not permitted to view these sessions. Doing so constitutes a breach of copyright. Recording these sessions in any way is also prohibited. 

  • Resources provided as a part of teacher and student lectures may not be reproduced in any way for use by third parties, including, but not limited to:

    •           Other teachers

    •           Other students

    •           Other websites

    •           Other companies presenting HHD lectures

  • Whilst the selling of these resources to third parties is also prohibited, they may be stored and modified for personal, non-commercial use.

  • Resources posted as part of the library subscription are not permitted to be stored on any file sharing platform (such as Dropbox, Google Drive etc) that makes these resources available to non-subscribers.

  • Note that refunds on electronic resources and library subscriptions are not available once access has been initiated. If you have any issues with these resources, please lodge a complaint with the Health Teachers’ Network. Each complaint will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

Registrations for student and teacher sessions (lectures)

Please note that any purchases for face-to-face or online lectures are non-refundable. If you are unable to attend the lecture for which you have purchased a ticket, you may be able to transfer to another session, provided seats are available and your request is received at least 2 days prior to the lecture date. Note that any deposit paid to reserve your seat is non-refundable.  

Resources for online student sessions will be sent to the student's postal address via registered mail with Australia Post. As a result, HTN cannot take responsibility for delays in the postal system that result in a booklet arriving after the lecture date.  

Recording HTN sessions in any form (including, but not restricted to audio, video, still photography, screen capture etc) is expressly prohibited. 

The Health Teachers' Network reserves the right to decline registrations and orders from (or on behalf of) individuals contributing to or presenting for any company or third party who presents or produces HHD-related lectures and / or resources.

In the unlikely event: 

  • that unforeseen circumstances (such as illness) prevent the lecturer from presenting on the day, a recording of the session may be shown in place of a live session. Participants will still be able to submit questions to be answered by the presenter. 

  • a lecture must be postponed, participants will be able to attend an alternative session. 

Participants in online lectures are reminded that they are in a semi-public forum. As a result, any behaviour that is deemed inappropriate may result in the participant being evicted from the session. Should this occur, no refund is available and the participant may be declined the opportunity to purchase a ticket for an alternative session. 

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material we will try to provide at least 7 days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion.

Whilst the Health Teachers’ Network takes every precaution to ensure the continuous operation of this website, technical issues beyond our control may impact accessibility from time to time. The Health Teachers’ Network takes no responsibility for these issues and cannot be held liable for any loss or inconvenience that occurs as a result.
