Terms & Conditions

The rules for using our website and courses

Last updated: [DATE] · Project Rescue is an initiative of [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], [ABN/ACN].

Draft — requires legal review before publishing

A starting-point draft only. Have your lawyer review and adapt this before publishing, particularly the liability, disclaimer and jurisdiction clauses.

1. Acceptance

By using this website or our courses, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

2. Our courses are educational only

Project Rescue courses provide general educational information about first aid, emergency preparedness and practical skills. They are not nationally recognised accredited training, and they do not result in a formal qualification, certificate or licence. If you need accredited training, please seek it from a Registered Training Organisation.

3. No substitute for professional help

Our content is general information, not professional, medical, legal or emergency advice. In an emergency, always call emergency services immediately. You are responsible for deciding whether and how to act on anything you learn from our content, and for your own safety and the safety of others.

4. No guarantee of outcome

We make no promise that any technique shown will be effective in any particular situation. Real emergencies are unpredictable. Nothing on this site creates a duty of care between us and you or any third party.

5. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss, injury or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, our website, courses or content. Nothing in these terms excludes rights you have under applicable consumer law that cannot be excluded. [Lawyer to tailor to applicable consumer law.]

6. Intellectual property

All content on this site — including courses, videos, text, graphics and branding — is owned by us or our licensors. You may view and use it for your own personal, non-commercial learning. You may not copy, resell, redistribute or use it commercially without our written permission.

7. Acceptable use

  • Don't misuse the site, attempt to breach its security, or disrupt it for others.
  • Don't upload or submit unlawful, harmful or misleading content.
  • Don't misrepresent our courses as accredited training or imply endorsement we haven't given.

8. Third-party platforms

Some courses and memberships are delivered through third-party platforms (such as YouTube and Patreon). Your use of those platforms is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, not ours.

9. Changes

We may update these terms. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.

10. Governing law

[Lawyer to insert governing law and jurisdiction — note this requires care given the entity structure.]

Membership Terms

Backing the mission — how memberships, billing and rewards work

Last updated: [DATE] · Applies to all Project Rescue memberships.

Draft — requires legal review before publishing

These terms govern recurring billing, cancellations and refunds. They must be reviewed by a lawyer before you accept any payments, and checked against the rules of each platform you bill through (Patreon, YouTube, Stripe, PayPal).

1. What a membership is

Backing the mission is a paid membership with rewards. It is not a donation, and it is not an investment. Project Rescue is not a registered charity, and membership payments are not tax-deductible donations.

2. What you get

Membership benefits depend on your tier and may include access to member-only courses, community rewards and recognition, and updates on our impact. Benefits are described on the Back the Mission page and may change over time as the community grows.

3. Billing

  • Memberships are billed on a recurring basis (monthly, unless stated otherwise) by the platform you signed up through.
  • Prices are shown in [CURRENCY] and may change with reasonable notice.
  • Where you sign up through a third-party platform, that platform's billing terms and fees also apply. Prices may differ on mobile app platforms due to app-store fees.

4. Free trials

Where a free trial is offered, your membership will begin billing automatically at the end of the trial unless you cancel before it ends.

5. Cancellation

You can cancel at any time — there is no lock-in. Cancel through the platform you signed up with. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period, after which it ends. We do not pro-rate part-months.

6. Refunds

[Lawyer to draft refund policy in line with applicable consumer law and platform rules. State clearly whether payments are refundable, and the process for requesting a refund.]

7. Rewards and points

Community rewards, points and badges recognise participation. They have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money by us, and may be varied or discontinued. They are not a financial product and are not offered as an investment. See our $RESCUE disclaimer.

8. Where your money goes

Membership payments fund the production and delivery of free courses, equipment, and the running of the platform. We publish an indicative allocation on our Impact page. Allocations are indicative and may vary.

9. Suspension

We may suspend or end a membership if these terms or our acceptable use rules are breached.

10. Changes

We may update these membership terms with reasonable notice. If a change materially reduces your benefits, you may cancel.

$RESCUE Disclaimer

Important information about $RESCUE

Last updated: [DATE]

Do not publish without specific legal advice

This page concerns a token that trades on a public exchange and involves an offshore entity. The wording below is deliberately conservative, but it is not sufficient on its own. A qualified financial-services / digital-assets lawyer must review how $RESCUE actually operates and draft or approve the final wording — including whether it is a financial product in each jurisdiction you reach. Publishing token claims without that advice creates real legal risk.

1. What $RESCUE is used for

Within the Project Rescue community, $RESCUE is used as a rewards and participation mechanism — recognising people who learn, share and support the mission, and unlocking perks such as discounts, badges and recognition.

2. Not an investment

$RESCUE is not offered by Project Rescue as an investment. We do not promise, guarantee or suggest that $RESCUE will increase in value, generate income, or produce any financial return. Nothing on this website is an offer to sell, or a solicitation to buy, $RESCUE.

3. Not financial advice

Nothing on this website is financial, investment, tax or legal advice. You should obtain your own independent advice before making any decision involving digital assets.

4. Risk

Digital assets are volatile and involve significant risk, including the risk of total loss. Any value $RESCUE may have on third-party exchanges is set by those markets, not by Project Rescue, and is outside our control.

5. No relationship with exchanges

[Lawyer to address: any listing of $RESCUE on third-party exchanges, and Project Rescue's relationship (if any) to those listings.]

6. Rewards may change

Rewards, perks and the way participation is recognised may be varied, suspended or discontinued at any time as the community and platform evolve.

7. Jurisdiction and availability

[Lawyer to address: which jurisdictions this is and is not offered in, the role and location of the issuing entity, and any restrictions required in those jurisdictions.]

8. Questions
