Terms & Conditions

About these terms

These terms are between Film Me Pty Ltd (ABN 57 612 132 395), trading as Rupert Chesman (“we”), and you. Part 1 applies to everyone who uses this website. Part 2 applies to people who enrol in the live online course. Part 3 applies to organisations that book workshops, keynotes, guest lectures, executive sessions or other training.

For training and speaking, the agreement is made up of: (1) any signed contract, (2) your quote or proposal, (3) these terms and (4) our Licence & Usage Rights. If they conflict, they rank in that order, so anything agreed specifically for your booking overrides these general terms.

Free courses and resources

The self-paced courses, lessons, cheat sheets, prompt packs, glossary, tools and course slides on this site are free and open access. You do not need an account. You may use them for your own learning and share links to any page. Our Licence & Usage Rights explains what else you can do with them, including using them with your team.

Content

The text, design, courses, slides, frameworks and videos on this site belong to Film Me Pty Ltd or to their owners, and are protected by copyright. Please do not republish them as your own or sell them.

Clients, tools and trademarks

Client and partner names and logos are shown to describe work we have carried out. They remain the property of their owners and do not imply endorsement. The names of AI tools and companies are trademarks of their owners. We are independent and are not paid to recommend any tool unless we say so.

AI-generated imagery

Some illustrative images on this site are AI-generated and do not show real people or events.

Accuracy, advice and AI tools

AI changes quickly. We aim to keep this site accurate and up to date, but tool names, features, prices and availability change, sometimes within weeks. Each page shows when it was last updated where that matters.

Our courses and articles are general education, not legal, financial, security or other professional advice for your particular situation. Before you use AI with sensitive data or for important decisions, check your organisation’s policies and get advice where you need it.

When you use a third-party AI tool, you do so under that tool’s own terms, fees and privacy policy. AI tools can produce wrong, biased or made-up answers. You are responsible for checking anything an AI tool produces before you rely on it or publish it.

Links

This site links to other websites, including AI tools and video hosting services. We are not responsible for their content or how they handle your information.

Enrolment and price

The price of the live course is shown on the pricing page and the course page when enrolment opens. Payment is taken when you enrol. Your enrolment is personal to you. If you cannot attend, you may transfer your place to a colleague by telling us before the course starts.

30-day money-back guarantee

If you are not satisfied, email ru@rupertchesman.com within 30 days of the first session and we will refund you in full. No questions asked. Refunds go back to your original payment method, usually within 10 business days.

Dates and changes

Session times are shown in Sydney time and other time zones. If we need to move or cancel a cohort, we will tell you as early as we can and offer you a place in another cohort or a full refund, whichever you prefer.

Taking part

Please treat other participants with respect, and do not record sessions or share other participants’ details or work without their permission. You will need your own access to the AI tools used in the course. Many have free versions, and we will tell you in advance which ones you need. A certificate of completion is issued to participants who take part in the sessions.

Quotes and pricing

We quote a price for each booking, based on the format, length, number of participants and any tailoring. Our published rates are starting points and are on the pricing page.

Quotes are valid for 30 days. For Australian clients, prices are in Australian dollars and exclude GST, which is added to our invoices. Services supplied to clients outside Australia are generally GST-free.

Travel, accommodation and other costs outside Sydney are charged at cost, and we agree them with you before we book them.

Payment

A 50% deposit confirms your date. The balance is due after delivery. Invoices are payable within 14 days, unless your quote sets out other terms. If an invoice is overdue, we may hold back further sessions or materials until it is paid. We will always tell you before we do this.

Rescheduling and cancellation

These terms apply to confirmed session dates:

• More than 14 days’ notice: one free reschedule. If you cancel, we keep only the part of the deposit that covers preparation already done.
• 7–14 days’ notice: 50% of the session fee is payable.
• Less than 7 days’ notice: 100% of the session fee is payable.

In every case, you pay for non-refundable travel and other third-party costs we have committed to on your behalf. If Rupert cannot deliver a session because of illness or another event outside our control, we will agree a new date with you at no extra charge, or refund what you have paid for that session.

Tailoring and your information

When we tailor a session, we may ask about your organisation, its tools, its AI policy and the people attending. Please tell us at the start about any AI policy, security requirements, approved or banned tools, or need for a non-disclosure agreement.

You are responsible for any venue, room set-up, screens, audio and internet access, unless we agree otherwise, and for making sure participants can log in to the AI tools the session needs.

Confidentiality

We treat your briefs, internal documents and business information as confidential, and use them only to prepare and deliver your sessions. This does not apply to information that is already public, or that we are required by law to disclose.

Recording and photography

Sessions may be recorded or photographed only with Rupert’s agreement, which is usually given for internal use. For keynotes and public events, recording, live-streaming and publishing need written agreement first. Our Licence & Usage Rights explains how recordings can be used.

Naming you as a client

Once a session has taken place, we may name your organisation as a client and show its logo on this site and in proposals. If you would prefer we did not, tell us in writing and we won’t.

Australian Consumer Law

Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or changes any right or remedy you have under that law.

Liability

To the extent the law allows:

• our total liability arising from a course or booking is limited to the fees you have paid us for it
• where the Australian Consumer Law lets us limit our liability for failing to meet a consumer guarantee, our liability is limited to supplying the services again or paying the cost of having them supplied again
• we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including loss of profit, revenue, data or opportunity
• we are not liable for what an AI tool produces, or for decisions made using it
• we are not liable for loss arising from use of this website

You agree to indemnify us against third-party claims arising from material you give us, or from your use of our materials outside the rights described in our Licence & Usage Rights.

Events outside our control

Neither of us is responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond reasonable control. These include illness, extreme weather, natural disasters, public-health orders, travel disruption, industrial action, and failures of essential third-party services. If one of these happens, we will work with you to reschedule.

Ending the agreement

Either of us may end the agreement by written notice if the other seriously breaches it and does not fix the breach within 14 days of being asked to. You then pay for work completed and costs committed up to that date.

Disputes

If a problem comes up, please talk to us first. If we cannot resolve a dispute within 30 days, either of us may refer it to mediation in Sydney before starting court proceedings. This does not stop either of us seeking urgent relief from a court.

Governing law and changes

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and both of us submit to the courts of New South Wales.

We may update these terms from time to time. A booking or enrolment stays on the version in place when you accepted your quote or enrolled, unless we both agree otherwise in writing. See also our Privacy Policy.
