Referral Agreement

AFFILIATE, COLLABORATING PROVIDER, REFERRAL AGREEMENT

Last Modified: January 2nd, 2023.

PLEASE READ THIS REFERRAL AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.

This is a contract between you (the “Referrer”) and us (“Global Guardian Services Pty Ltd ATF TWH Business Services” referred hereafter as The Mind Manual”).

It describes how we will work together and other aspects of our business relationship. It is a legal document so some of the language is necessarily “legalese” but we have tried to make it as readable as possible.

The Referral Agreement applies to your participation in our program Weight Loss Without Willpower and/or The Manifestation MBA (“Referral Program/s”). These terms are so important that we cannot have you participate in our Referral Program unless you agree to them.

We periodically update these terms. We might also choose to replace these terms in their entirety if, for example, the Referral Program changes, ends, or becomes part of an existing program, including our partner programs. If we update or replace the terms we will let you know via electronic means, which may include an in-app notification or by email. If you don’t agree to the update or replacement, you can choose to terminate as we describe below.
