DAD HOURS – TERMS OF USE
1. Introduction
Dad Hours is a remote coaching platform through which fitness coaches provide fitness, health, and related programs, guidance, and educational content (“Services”). These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern the relationship between Dad Hours (“we”, “us”, “our”) and you, the member or client (“you”, “your”). By accessing or using the Dad Hours website, app, or Services (“Site” or “App”), you agree to be bound by these Terms.
2. Payment Terms
2.1 Billing Cycle and Fees
Memberships are offered on a recurring subscription basis at the following rates (all prices in Australian Dollars, AUD):
- Monthly subscription: $23
- 3‑month subscription: $60
- 6‑month subscription: $115
- 12‑month subscription: $210
From time to time, Dad Hours may offer promotional or limited‑time pricing. Promotional pricing applies only for the period specified at purchase. Upon expiry of the promotional period, your subscription will automatically renew at the standard rate for your selected plan unless cancelled at least 24 hours prior to the renewal date. Promotional offers are subject to their own terms and may be modified or withdrawn without notice.
We will provide at least 30 days’ notice of any changes to standard pricing. Any revised pricing will apply only from your next renewal date.
2.2 Upgrading Your Subscription
You may upgrade your subscription at any time before your renewal date. You will retain access to your current plan until the end of the existing billing period. The upgraded rate will be charged at the commencement of your next billing cycle.
2.3 Downgrading Your Subscription
You may request a downgrade at any time through your account settings or by contacting our Customer Team. Downgrades are subject to the plans available at the time of your request.
Effective Date of Downgrade:
Downgrades take effect at the beginning of your next quarterly billing cycle. As subscriptions are billed in advance, no partial refunds or pro‑rata credits will be issued unless required under the Australian Consumer Law.
Your subscription will renew at the applicable rate for the downgraded plan from the effective date. If a payment cannot be processed and your subscription transitions to a lower‑tier plan, your access will adjust immediately and certain features may become limited or unavailable.
2.4 Payment Authorisation
By subscribing, you authorise Dad Hours to collect payment immediately upon signup and thereafter on an automatic monthly, quarterly, bi‑annual, or annual basis (as applicable). You will receive immediate access to the program upon successful payment.
2.5 Cancellations
If you cancel your membership, you will retain access until the end of your current billing cycle. Dad Hours does not provide refunds for membership fees. It is your responsibility to cancel prior to the renewal date.
Unless cancelled at least 24 hours before your monthly, quarterly, bi‑annual, or annual billing date, you authorise Dad Hours to charge the next applicable membership fee to your nominated payment method.
2.6 Failed Payments
If a payment attempt fails, we will retry the payment and notify you of the unsuccessful attempt. If payment cannot be processed after subsequent attempts, your subscription will be cancelled. Any outstanding fees remain payable.
2.7 No Fixed‑Term Contract
Recurring payments do not constitute a fixed‑term contract. You may cancel future recurring payments by cancelling your membership before the next billing date.
