Exclusions and Limitations
Every reasonable precaution is taken to ensure the accuracy of information, advice and any guidance as a part of service provision. Content within the website, hard-copy and digital versions of training materials and any other service-related offerings is produced and given in good faith whereby no liability shall be accepted for any errors, omissions or inaccuracies.
If there is a matter that you'd like us to resolve, please refer to our Complaint Handling Procedure (Public Guide)
The information contained in literature and on the website is provided on an "as is" basis.
To the extent permitted by law, we:
•exclude all representations and warranties relating to the website and its contents or which is or may be provided by any affiliates or any other third party, including in relation to any inaccuracies or omissions in the website and/or literature; and
•exclude all liability for damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the website. This includes, without limitation, direct loss, loss of business or profits (whether or not the loss of such profits was foreseeable, arose in the normal course of things or you have advised of the possibility of such potential loss), damage caused to your computer, computer software, systems and programs and the data thereon or any other direct or indirect, consequential and incidental damages.
The above exclusions and limitations apply only to the extent permitted by law. None of your statutory rights as a consumer are affected.
Relevant personnel hold current disclosure certification, as too, any and all external training facilitators on our roster. Details and evidence of qualifications and experience are available upon request.
All sub-contracted parties maintain continuing professional development (CPD), in order to provide a professional service with integrity.
We endeavour to ensure that all information, guidance, support and advice given is accurate, truthful and in compliance with appropriate English Law.
The purpose of provision ("Services") is to help people across the private, public, charitable and educational sectors to fully understand mental health issues, to build their own resilience and to lead more positive and successful lives.
Services may involve the sharing of personal journeys and of the concepts, beliefs and values, which have best served to empower. Particular thoughts, comments and observations can be found, though perhaps expressed in different ways, in books and via other means and sources. Under no circumstances may Clients or third-party partner provider personnel divulge respective circumstances, personal contribution to Services or any other relevant information arising out of provision of Services, to any third parties, other than in connection with notifying others of our contact details, for those who may wish to seek similar assistance. Failure to respect personal confidentiality will result in the immediate cessation of any and all Services and, where deemed appropriate, may give rise to the instigation of proceedings.
Any guidance, advice, recommendations, tailored solutions or any other form of assistance offered to Clients is on the express and implied basis that delivery materials, content and guidance are offered in the context of assistance intended solely to aid Clients to decide for themselves whether particular courses of action are necessary to bring about the investigation of, or furtherance of their individual and professional aspirations, that they wish to effect.
Clients are advised to take note that no legal counsel is offered as any part of our service provision, other than in connection with making Clients aware of the need to seek such professional advice from an appropriate source, when necessary. No financial or legal advice is offered.
Clients shall be issued with Agreement Forms to complete, sign and return. The Agreement set out the best practice delivery requirements for parties to adhere to, in order to ensure smooth and effective provision of Services. Opportunity will be given to rectify any situation or breach of conditions. However, repeated failure to observe the requirements and terms and conditions herein will render any agreement between us as terminated and shall lead to the immediate cessation of all Services.
Under no circumstances will we accept, undertake or continue Services for any Client where it is, or becomes evident, that the Client's aim, intention, objective, goal or expressed thoughts are likely to cause harm, offence, illegal, unethical or immoral act or other negative outcome, through malicious act, slander, libel, religious or other intolerance, in any way whatsoever or howsoever against anyone or anything in any form.
Our personnel are entitled to physical safety during service delivery and to be treated with respect. Any instance of verbal or physical abuse may result in the immediate cessation of Services (without refund if payment applies) and we reserve the right to subsequently instigate proceedings.
Clients' attention is drawn to our full Resilient Me Privacy Notice and, for ease, our Information Governance Policy-Easy Read.
In the event that it is so deemed or statutorily required, we reserve the right to report any instance of civil or criminal offence or damage to the appropriate authorities whereby Client information and Client Records held may be disclosed to authorised persons or organisations without infringement of Client Confidentiality privilege. Resilient Me abides by Data Protection directives and is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office: certificate number ZA460897.

Redistribution or republication of any part of this site or its content is prohibited, including such by framing or other similar or any other means, without the express written consent.

Payments
Electronic Transfer or cash are acceptable methods of payment. Online banking details available on request.
Where contracts have been entered into on an hourly rate or fixed-fee basis, payment must be made in full within 30 days of the invoice date. Monies that remain outstanding by the due date will incur late payment interest on any outstanding balance at the statutory rate of 8% above the prevailing Bank of England Base Reference Rate, until such time as the balance is paid in full and final settlement. We reserve the right to seek recovery of any monies remaining unpaid sixty days from the date of invoice via Collection Agencies and/or through the Small Claims Court in the event that the outstanding balance does not exceed £3000. In such circumstances, you shall be liable for any and all additional administrative and/or court costs and/or compensatory claims for costs incurred in undertaking debt recovery action. Returned or declined transfers incur a £35 charge to cover banking fees/administrative costs. In an instance of a second payment being declined, arrangements will terminate with future cash transactions only. Consequently, all bookings and/or transactions and agreements entered into will cease with immediate effect until such time as any and all outstanding monies are recovered.

OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This privacy policy explains exactly why and how we contact you, how we collect and store your data, where we find your information, how we work with our partners and what to do if you do not wish to be contacted by us along with information about how we would handle security breaches.
We are fully compliant with the PECR, Data Protection Act 1998, GDPR and are understand the guidance set out by the ICO and DMA. Our lawful basis for processing is ‘legitimate interest’. We will never share your information with any third parties.
Why and how we contact you and our lawful basis for processing.
Why?
Our ethos is ‘Strength Through Understanding’ by training and inspiring as many employees, students, teachers and parents as we can.
The reason for our contact is to make you aware of our services. We are an educational training provider who have delivered in the marketplace for the past 11 years. We raise mental health awareness, and provide wellbeing/resilience workshops plus personal development training for employees and students. Our workshops provide benefit to many companies and schools across the country (we have testimonials, case studies and quantitative data to support this) therefore it is in the best interest of the schools that we inform them of what we can offer their employees and students.
How?
There are 3 steps we take in order to fulfil our ethos:
1. Collect contact information from organisations and schools in the UK, so that we can send them direct marketing in the form of emails.
2. Promote our brand to organisations and schools, in the hope that they will invite us to deliver our workshops.
3. Ensure that we send excellent presenters to provide outstanding workshops, or deliver them online via our online resource.
The direct marketing we carry out is via email or occasionally via post. We do not ‘cold call’ - the only time an individual would hear from us via telephone is if they had showed interest in our services by clicking on our emails, enquiring with us or by meeting the conditions our any third party partners deem as legitimate interest. For further information about our partners, please see the section stating ‘how we work with our partners’.
Lawful basis for processing
We have recently conducted an Information Audit along with a legitimate Interest Assessment to ensure that we are fully compliant with the new rules around personal data.
The DMA, summarising instructions from the GDPR update, states that -
‘You can send individuals a marketing email/text as long as you provide an easy way to opt-out of future communications from you.’ [1]
We operate under a ‘soft opt-in’ policy relating to previous customers, which is approved by the ICO. This means that if you have bought from us in the past, we can assume that you are interested in hearing about our services still.
'The term ‘soft opt-in’ is sometimes used to describe the rule about existing customers. The idea is that if an individual bought something from you recently, gave you their details, and did not opt out of marketing messages, they are probably happy to receive marketing from you about similar products or services even if they haven’t specifically consented. However, you must have given them a clear chance to opt out – both when you first collected their details, and in every message you send.’ [2]
We provide an ‘unsubscribe’ link (which is considered to be an ‘opt out’) at the bottom of all of our marketing emails.
Please refer to the ‘what to do if you do not wish to be contacted by us’ section for information about unsubscribing from our marketing mails and your rights.The Resilient Me website is operated by Rachel Munns and Tony Munns (“the Partnership”).
The Partnership is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office for Data Protection Act purposes, Certificate No: ZA460897. The Act requires us to hold data securely and specifies how we may only use personal information for appropriate reasons.
Please refer to our Information Governance Policy-Easy Read which explains how and why we process data and provides details about your right to access information that we hold about you.
The ePrivacy Directive and GDPR Recitals came into effect in the UK on 25th May 2018. Our policies and processes reflect the changes in data protection law. Please refer to our full Resilient Me Privacy Notice [updated GDPR May2018].
