Terms and Conditions
Effective date: 21 July 2026
These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of the Harbourmetric website, practice tests, courses, memberships and related services.
By creating an account, purchasing a course, subscribing to a membership or using Harbourmetric, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. Online contracts can be accepted through actions such as making payment or clicking an agreement checkbox, but their terms cannot remove rights provided under the Australian Consumer Law.
1. About Harbourmetric
Harbourmetric Pty Ltd provides online certification practice tests, exam-preparation courses and digital learning services.
In these Terms:
- Harbourmetric, we, us and our mean Harbourmetric Pty Ltd
- You and your mean the person accessing or purchasing our services
- Course means an individual Harbourmetric practice-test course
- Membership means a Harbourmetric All Access monthly or yearly subscription
- Content includes questions, answers, explanations, case studies, images, documents, course descriptions and other learning materials
2. Important Membership Information
The Harbourmetric All Access Membership is available as either:
- Monthly All Access: A$4.99 per month, automatically renewing each month until cancelled
- Yearly All Access: A$39.99 per year, automatically renewing each year until cancelled
- Both plans give you access to the courses included in the membership library
- Membership fees are charged using the payment method supplied during checkout
- Memberships can be cancelled through the Manage Membership link on the Harbourmetric My Account page
Your subscription price, renewal frequency and cancellation terms will also be shown before payment. Important subscription renewal and cancellation conditions should be disclosed clearly and upfront rather than hidden within lengthy terms.
3. Account Registration
You may need to create a Harbourmetric account to purchase or access a course.
You agree to:
- Provide accurate and current registration information
- Maintain the security of your username and password
- Keep your contact email address up to date
- Notify us if you believe your account has been accessed without permission
- Accept responsibility for activity carried out through your account where you have failed to protect your login details
Accounts are for individual use only. You must not share, sell, transfer or provide your account credentials to another person.
You must be at least 18 years old to make a purchase, or have the permission of a parent or legal guardian.
4. Individual Course Purchases
Individual courses are currently available for a one-time payment of A$4.99 per course.
An individual purchase gives the purchasing account access to that course for personal learning purposes, subject to these Terms.
Unless specifically stated otherwise:
- The purchase is not a recurring subscription
- Access is limited to the course purchased
- Access cannot be transferred to another account
- The purchase does not give access to all Harbourmetric courses
- New courses are not automatically included
We may update, improve, replace or retire course material where reasonably necessary to maintain accuracy, quality, security or alignment with certification changes.
5. All Access Membership
The Harbourmetric All Access Membership provides access to the courses assigned to the membership library while the subscription remains active.
The membership includes:
- Access to current courses included in the membership
- Access to new courses added to the membership library
- Practice-test results and progress tracking
- Course explanations and supporting learning content
The inclusion of a particular course may change where an exam is retired, substantially replaced or no longer supported. Where reasonably possible, we will provide notice of material changes affecting active members.
Membership access is personal and cannot be shared with another person or organisation.
6. Recurring Payments
By purchasing an All Access Membership, you authorise Stripe and Harbourmetric to charge the applicable recurring fee — A$4.99 each month for Monthly All Access or A$39.99 each year for Yearly All Access — using your selected payment method until the subscription is cancelled.
You are responsible for ensuring that your payment details remain valid.
If a payment fails:
- Stripe may retry the payment
- Your membership access may be temporarily suspended
- Access may be restored after successful payment
- We may contact you regarding the failed payment
We will not continue charging for a period in which we are unable to provide the paid subscription service, except where the interruption is brief, outside our reasonable control or otherwise permitted by law.
7. Cancelling a Membership
You can cancel your membership through:
My Account → Manage Membership
Cancellation will normally take effect at the end of your current paid billing period. You will retain membership access until that date, after which:
- Future payments will stop
- Membership-provided course access will end
- Courses purchased separately through one-time payments will remain available
- Your learning account and historical results may remain available
You should cancel before your next renewal date to prevent the next charge.
If the Manage Membership feature is unavailable, contact:
info\@harbourmetric.com.au
8. Refunds
Refunds and billing disputes are governed by the separate Harbourmetric Refunds and Cancellations Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
We do not generally provide refunds for:
- Change of mind
- Failure to use a purchased course or membership
- Changing or postponing your certification exam
- Purchasing the wrong course where the course was accurately described
- Failure to pass an external certification exam
This does not limit any right or remedy available under the Australian Consumer Law. Consumer guarantees apply automatically and cannot be excluded through a business policy or contractual term.
9. Certification and Exam Disclaimer
Harbourmetric provides independent exam-preparation and educational content.
We do not guarantee that:
- You will pass an official certification exam
- Questions on an official exam will match Harbourmetric questions
- An exam provider will accept or approve your preparation method
- A certification will result in employment, promotion or increased income
- Every course will remain aligned after an exam provider changes its curriculum
Your results depend on factors including your knowledge, experience, study effort and performance during the official exam.
Harbourmetric does not provide or distribute confidential exam questions, examination dumps or unlawfully obtained certification content.
10. Independent Training Provider
Harbourmetric is an independent training provider and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Google, CompTIA, PeopleCert, PMI, GitHub or other certification providers unless expressly stated.
Certification names, logos, product names and trademarks belong to their respective owners. They are used only to identify the certifications or technologies covered by our educational content.
11. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, Harbourmetric owns or licenses all intellectual property rights in its original content, including:
- Practice-test questions
- Answer choices
- Explanations
- Case studies
- Course structures
- Graphics and branding
- Downloadable materials
- Website content
Your purchase gives you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the content for your own learning.
You must not:
- Copy or reproduce Harbourmetric content
- Share questions or explanations publicly
- Upload content to another website or learning platform
- Resell or redistribute any course
- Use automated tools to scrape or extract content
- Use the content to create competing practice tests

This licence ends if your account is terminated for a serious breach of these Terms.
12. Acceptable Use

- Introduce malware, malicious code or automated attacks
- Circumvent course-access or payment controls

- Harass other users or Harbourmetric personnel
- Use false payment, identity or registration information
We may investigate suspected misuse and take proportionate action to protect users, our systems and our intellectual property.
13. Suspension or Termination
We may suspend or terminate access where there is reasonable evidence of:
- Account sharing
- Payment fraud or chargeback abuse
- Unauthorised copying or distribution
- Attempts to compromise the website
- Serious or repeated breaches of these Terms
- Illegal or abusive conduct
Where appropriate, we will provide notice and a reasonable opportunity to address the issue. Immediate suspension may occur where necessary to protect customers, content, payment systems or website security.
Termination does not remove any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law.
14. Course Availability and Updates
We aim to keep Harbourmetric available and its content accurate, but uninterrupted access cannot be guaranteed.
Access may be temporarily affected by:
- Maintenance
- Hosting interruptions
- Security incidents
- LearnDash or WordPress updates
- Stripe outages
- Internet or network failures
- Events outside our reasonable control
We may correct errors and update course content as certification objectives, technologies and official documentation change.
Where an interruption materially prevents you from accessing a paid service, contact us so we can investigate and provide an appropriate remedy where required.
15. Third-Party Services
Harbourmetric uses third-party providers to operate parts of its service, including:
- Stripe for payment processing and subscription management
- LearnDash for course delivery and learner access
- WordPress and website-hosting providers
- Email and analytics services
Your use of these features may also be subject to the relevant provider’s terms and privacy practices.
Harbourmetric does not directly store complete payment-card details. Payment information is submitted to and processed by the payment provider.
16. Privacy
Your personal information is handled in accordance with the Harbourmetric Privacy Policy.
This may include your:
- Name
- Email address
- Account details
- Course enrolments
- Quiz attempts and results
- Payment and transaction references
- Website activity

Organisations covered by the Privacy Act must publish a privacy policy explaining in plain language how personal information is handled. Some small businesses are exempt, although particular business activities can still bring them within the Act.
17. Communications
We may send transactional communications relating to:
- Account registration
- Purchases and receipts
- Password resets
- Subscription renewals or failures
- Course access
- Security and service notices
- Support requests
Marketing communications will be managed separately, and you may unsubscribe from promotional emails using the link provided.
18. Reviews and Testimonials
Reviews must reflect genuine experiences.
You must not submit content that is false, misleading, defamatory, abusive or unrelated to your experience with Harbourmetric.
We may moderate or remove reviews that breach these requirements, but we will not remove a genuine negative review merely because it is critical. Businesses must not create or arrange fake or misleading online reviews.
19. Liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.
To the extent permitted by law, Harbourmetric is not responsible for:
- Certification exam fees
- Failed examination attempts
- Employment or career decisions
- Loss caused by sharing account credentials
- Problems caused by unsupported devices, browsers or internet connections
- Third-party platforms outside our reasonable control
- Indirect or consequential loss that was not reasonably foreseeable
Where our services fail to meet a consumer guarantee, the remedies available will be those required under applicable law.

Please include:
- Your name
- The email used for your account
- The relevant course or membership
- Your payment or order reference
- A clear explanation of the problem

We will review the matter and respond within a reasonable period.
Nothing in this section prevents you from exercising any legal right or contacting an applicable consumer-protection body.
21. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes to:
- Our products or pricing
- Payment or membership systems
- Website functionality
- Certification offerings
- Security requirements

Material changes will apply prospectively and will be communicated reasonably where they significantly affect an existing paid membership.
