If you do not agree to all of the documents listed above, you must not complete checkout. The Agreement comes into force when BIA confirms receipt of your payment in full.

You are purchasing a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access the Broker Institute of Australia Program (the Course) delivered as a digital information product hosted on the Kajabi platform.

Course inclusions are as described on the BIA website at the time of your purchase. BIA may add, remove, update or substitute Course content from time to time without notice provided that the overall scope of the Course is not materially diminished.

Total Course fee: AUD $4,999 (exclusive of GST), being AUD $5,498.90 (inclusive of GST). GST of AUD $499.90 is included in this total and is shown separately on the tax invoice.

The Total Course fee must be paid in full at checkout as a single upfront payment.

A single upfront payment of AUD $4,999 (exclusive of GST), being AUD $5,498.90 (inclusive of GST), will be charged to your nominated payment method at checkout.

Payment authorisation. By completing checkout you irrevocably authorise BIA (and our payment processors, including Kajabi Payments and Stripe) to charge your nominated payment method for the Total Course fee in full.

GST. All fees are quoted in Australian dollars. The Total Course fee is exclusive of GST; GST is calculated on the charge and shown separately on the tax invoice. BIA is registered for GST (ABN 72 514 173 255).

Failed payments. If the payment cannot be successfully processed, checkout will not be completed and Course access will not be provisioned until the Total Course fee has been paid in full.

Course access will be provisioned to the email address you provided at checkout within twenty-four (24) hours of successful processing of your payment in full.

Your access licence is granted for a period of twelve (12) months from the date access is first provisioned (the Access Period). BIA is not obliged to extend the Access Period and any extension is at our absolute discretion.

Your account is personal and may be used by one (1) natural person only. Sharing, reselling, transferring or disclosing your account credentials is strictly prohibited (see clause 7).

You acknowledge and warrant that:

1. you are at least eighteen (18) years of age and have full legal capacity to enter into this Agreement;
2. you are purchasing the Course for your own personal or business use and not for resale;
3. BIA is not a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and the Course is not a nationally accredited or recognised qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework;
4. the Course provides general educational and informational content only and does not constitute financial product advice, credit advice, legal advice or personal advice for the purposes of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) or the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 (Cth);
5. to operate as a mortgage broker in Australia you must independently obtain the relevant vocational qualifications (currently FNS40821 Certificate IV in Finance and Mortgage Broking and FNS50322 Diploma of Finance and Mortgage Broking Management), join an accredited industry association (such as the MFAA or FBAA), and become an authorised credit representative under an Australian Credit Licence (or hold your own); and
6. BIA makes no representation, warranty or guarantee that you will obtain employment as a mortgage broker, generate any particular level of income, settle any volume of loans, or achieve any commercial outcome from completing the Course.

You should read the BIA Disclaimer for further detail.

Refunds are governed by the BIA Refund Policy. Because this Agreement is for a digital information product that is delivered immediately on enrolment, we do not offer change-of-mind or cooling-off refunds. Refunds will only be granted where you have a right to a remedy under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) - for example, where there is a major failure to comply with a consumer guarantee.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be lawfully excluded, restricted or modified.

All Course content, including videos, written material, templates, scripts, frameworks, slide decks, audio, software, branding and any derivative works, is owned by BIA or licensed to BIA by third parties. You receive no ownership rights of any kind.

You must not copy, record, screen-capture, download (except where a download function is expressly provided), redistribute, publish, sub-licence, sell, modify, reverse-engineer, extract, scrape, train an artificial intelligence or machine learning model on, or create any derivative work from, any Course content.

This Agreement commences on the date your payment in full is processed and ends on the earlier of:

1. the expiry of the Access Period;
2. termination by us in accordance with the BIA Terms and Conditions; or
3. termination by you upon a refund being granted under the BIA Refund Policy.

Termination does not relieve you of any payment obligations that have accrued before termination unless those obligations are expressly waived as part of a refund.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Each party submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales, Australia and any courts competent to hear appeals from those courts.

Before commencing court proceedings (other than urgent injunctive relief), the parties must follow the dispute resolution process set out in the BIA Terms and Conditions and the BIA Complaints Handling Policy.
