Terms and Conditions
Eating Disorders Families Australia (EDFA) is a not-for-profit public company established as a charity.
Our ABN is 82 613 590 588.
Eating Disorders Families Australia is owned by its members as defined in our constitution. As a
member of EDFA, you agreed to be bound by the constitution and pay the membership fee.
Members
To be a member of EDFA you must be a person: caring for someone with an eating disorder, has
previously cared for someone who had an eating disorder, is a relative of someone who has or has
had an eating disorder, an organisation whose primary purpose is to support families and carers of

Membership Fee
Your membership fee covers annual membership of EDFA.
Your membership is a recurring membership and will be automatically renewed on an annual basis
unless you cancel your membership prior to the next annual renewal date. By ticking the box to
agree to these terms and conditions, you authorise EDFA to charge your payment method on file for
the annual membership fee on the same date each year. If a payment is not successfully settled due
to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not cancel your account, we may suspend
your membership until we have successfully charged a valid payment method. We may re-attempt
unsuccessful direct debits or contact you seeking instructions. Any dishonour fees incurred against
your account by your financial institution are your responsibility.
If you wish to cancel your membership, you must provide written notice prior to the next annual
renewal date (see Cancellation).
Cancellation
You can cancel your membership at any time. To the extent permitted by the applicable law,
payments are non-refundable, and we do not provide refunds or credits for any partial membership
periods. To cancel, defer or make alterations to your membership, please contact EDFA. Contact
details appear at the end of this notice. Please note we require five days’ notice to process any
adjustments.
These Terms are effective until terminated by us, which we may do without cause by giving you 7
days’ notice. To the maximum extent permitted by law, there will be no refunds available if we
terminate these Terms. In the event of termination, all restrictions imposed on you by these Terms
and limitations of liability set out in these Terms will survive.
Changes to membership services and fees
We may change our membership services and pricing from time to time. You will be given 30 days’
notice of any change.
Disputes
In the event of any dispute arising from, or in connection with, these Terms (Dispute), the party
claiming there is a Dispute must give written notice to the other party setting out the details of the
Dispute and proposing a resolution. Within 7 days after receiving the notice, the parties must, by
their senior executives or senior managers (who have the authority to reach a resolution on behalf of the party), meet at least once to attempt to resolve the Dispute or agree on the method of
resolving the Dispute by other means, in good faith. All aspects of every such conference, except the
fact of the occurrence of the conference, will be privileged. If the parties do not resolve the Dispute,
or (if the Dispute is not resolved) agree on an alternate method to resolve the Dispute, within 21
days after receipt of the notice, the Dispute may be referred by either party (by notice in writing to
the other party) to litigation.
If a part of these Terms isn’t right
If a provision of these Terms is held to be void, invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision must
be read down as narrowly as necessary to allow it to be valid or enforceable. If it is not possible to
read down a provision (in whole or in part), that provision (or that part of that provision) is severed
from these Terms without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remainder of that provision
or the other provisions in these Terms.
Liability
Despite anything to the contrary, to the maximum extent permitted by law and whether under
statute, contract, equity, tort (including negligence), indemnity or otherwise, (1) our maximum
aggregate Liability arising from or in connection with these Terms will be limited to us repaying you
the amount of the Membership Fees to which the Liability relates; and (2) we will not be liable to
you for any loss of profit (including anticipated profit), loss of benefit (including anticipated benefit),
