You may view the Site using your web browser and save an electronic copy, or print out a copy, of parts of this web site solely for your own personal use, information, research or study, but only if you keep all Content intact and in the same form as presented on the Site (including without limitation all copyright, trade mark and other proprietary notices and all advertisements).

You must not use the Site or the Content in any manner or for any purpose which is unlawful or in any manner which violates any right of GTA or which is prohibited by the General Conditions.

Governing Law

These General Conditions are governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Disputes arising from these General Conditions are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in New South Wales, Australia.

Security when you order online

We are highly confident of the quality and security of our e-commerce facility and recommend this method of payment and ordering. This allows us to offer the best level of speed, accuracy and security in our service to you.

Credit card numbers provided through our e-commerce facility are processed immediately in an encrypted form (using SSL encryption) over a secure link and are not stored permanently. This provides a high level of security protection for our customers. The transaction is processed by the National Australia Bank, one of Australia's largest and longest established banks.

The Netscape and the Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers have built-in security mechanisms to ensure that users do not accidentally submit personal information over an insecure link. If a user tries to submit information to an unsecured site, the browsers will, by default, show a warning. In contrast, if a user submits credit card or other information to a site with a valid Server ID and an SSL connection, the warning does not appear and the secure connection is seamless.

Cancellation/Refund Policy

GTA will only conduct courses if minimum numbers are obtained (a minimum of 10 participants is required). Therefore, refunds will only be granted where the cancellation occurs at least 14 days prior to the event.
