Terms & Conditions

1. Who you are contracting with

This website, practicemakesthemaster.com, and the Practice Makes The Master audio course are operated by Daniel Ernest Consulting Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales, trading as Practice Makes The Master ("we", "us", "our"). When you use this site or buy the audio course, you are entering into an agreement with Daniel Ernest Consulting Ltd.

You can reach us at any time at hello@practicemakesthemaster.com.

2. Acceptance of these terms

By using this website, subscribing to our emails, listening to the podcast or free introduction, or purchasing the audio course, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the site. Continued use means you accept these terms and any future updates published on this page.

You confirm you are of legal age to form a binding contract, and if you are purchasing on behalf of an organisation, that you have authority to bind it.

3. What we provide

We provide self-development content: a book, a podcast, written articles, a free audio introduction, and the Practice Makes The Master audio course — a series of twelve audio "quests" plus an introduction, released to you on a schedule after launch, streamed from this website.

Access to the paid course is a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to listen to the recordings for your own personal development. It is not a licence to redistribute, resell, broadcast, or share the recordings.

4. Your account and details

Access to the course is tied to the email address used at purchase. You are responsible for keeping that address secure and for any activity that takes place under it. Please give us accurate information and keep it up to date, so that course emails and access links reach you.

5. Acceptable use

You must not:

• use the site or course for any unlawful purpose;
• commit fraud, send spam, or impersonate anyone;
• copy, download for redistribution, share, resell, sublicense, or publicly perform the audio recordings, book text, or articles;
• infringe our intellectual property or anyone else's, including by reproducing our content without permission;
• interfere with the security or operation of the site — no malware, probing, penetration attempts, scraping, or circumventing access controls or technical limits;
• reverse engineer or attempt to derive the source of any part of the service.

6. Intellectual property

All content on this site — the audio recordings, scripts, book text, articles, podcast episodes, artwork, branding and software — remains the property of Daniel Ernest Limited or its licensors. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership to you.

If you believe content on this site infringes your rights, email hello@practicemakesthemaster.com with details and we will investigate and remove infringing material where appropriate.

7. Service availability

We work to keep the site available and the recordings playable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. Access may be interrupted for maintenance, updates, or reasons outside our control.

8. Payments, billing and subscriptions

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns.

Payment, billing, taxes, cancellations and refund mechanics are governed by Paddle's Checkout Buyer Terms. Prices are shown before you complete your order; applicable sales tax or VAT is calculated by Paddle at checkout. Pre-orders are charged at the time of purchase and access opens on the stated launch date.

Our own refund commitment is set out in our Refund Policy.

9. Disclaimer — education only, no professional advice

The book, podcast, articles, free introduction and audio course are provided for general information, education and personal development only. They are not, and must not be relied upon as, medical, psychiatric, psychological, therapeutic, health, nutritional, financial, investment, legal, tax, accounting or business advice, and they do not create any professional, clinical, coaching, therapeutic or fiduciary relationship between you and us.

We are not doctors, therapists, financial advisers or lawyers, and nothing in the content is a diagnosis, treatment, prescription or recommendation for your individual circumstances. Always seek advice from a suitably qualified professional before acting, and never delay or discontinue professional treatment because of something you have read or heard here. If you are experiencing a medical or mental-health crisis, contact your local emergency services immediately.

Any practice, breathing exercise, meditation, habit, journalling prompt or financial exercise described is undertaken entirely at your own risk and at your own discretion. You are solely responsible for deciding whether a practice is suitable for you, for consulting a professional where appropriate, and for stopping any practice that causes discomfort or distress.

No guarantee of results. Personal development outcomes depend on factors outside our control, including your own effort, circumstances, health and judgement. We make no promise, representation or guarantee — express or implied — of any particular result, improvement, income, wellbeing or other outcome. Any example, story, case study or testimonial is illustrative only and is not typical or a promise of what you will achieve.

Content may include third-party references, links or quoted material. We do not endorse and are not responsible for third-party content, products or services. Content is accurate to the best of our knowledge at the date of publication and may become out of date; we are under no obligation to update it.

10. Warranties, liability and your consumer rights

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the service and all content are provided "as is" and "as available", and we exclude all implied warranties, conditions and terms, including merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness and non-infringement.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for: any decision you make or action you take based on the content; any loss of profit, revenue, business, opportunity, savings, data or goodwill; any indirect, consequential, incidental, special or punitive loss; any personal injury, illness, emotional distress or aggravation of an existing condition arising from your voluntary participation in a practice described in the content; or any interruption, unavailability, data loss or error in the service.

Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise — is limited to the total amount you actually paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited. If you are a consumer, these terms do not affect your statutory rights, including under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

11. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or end your access without refund where there is material breach of these terms, non-payment or a reversed payment, security or fraud risk, or repeated or serious misuse — including sharing or redistributing course audio. You may stop using the service at any time. On termination, your right to access the recordings ends.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the service, your breach of these terms, or content you submit to us.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The current version is always published on this page with the date it was last updated. Material changes will not apply retroactively to an order already placed.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, save for any rights you have as a consumer to bring proceedings in your country of residence. We may assign these terms as part of a merger or sale of the business; you may not assign them without our consent.

15. Force majeure

We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including outages of hosting, payment or email providers.
