TERMS AND CONDITIONS

FOR OUR SERVICES

Welcome to FoodLogic, the ultimate resource for foodservice leaders. Thank you for your interest in our services.

In these terms of use (terms), we also refer to FoodLogic as “our”, “we, or “us”.

And you are you!

What are these terms about?

These terms apply when you sign up for any of our Services through our website, being www.foodlogic.com.au and any other websites we operate with the same domain name and a different extension (Website).

How do I read these terms?

We separated these terms into three parts, so they are easy to read and understand.

Those parts are:

PART A: Terms for when you use any of our Services (applies when you use our Services and incorporates Part C.)

PART B: Terms for when you browse and interact with this Website (applies when you browse and incorporates Part C)

PART C: Liability and warranties, and interpretation provisions (applies to both our Services and browsing)

Key Words used in these terms

To make it easier for you to understand the terms on which we provide, and you use, our Services, we've tried to keep these terms as simple as possible by using plain English.

When we refer to our Services in these terms, we mean:

any FoodLogic courses we offer through this Website (Online Course);

a subscription to our resource portal (Subscription); or

one-on-one live consulting sessions (Consulting Services),

depending on which of those is applicable to you – based on the offer you select at checkout or, if applicable, in a Statement of Work, when you agree to these terms.

We’ve also used a few other capitalised words and phrases as shorthand to refer to recurring concepts. Each of these are defined in bold and in brackets after the concepts are first mentioned.
