Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website located at bellaandbellaproductions.com (the “Site”) and any services, programmes, events, productions, or engagements provided by Bella & Bella Productions (“Bella & Bella Productions,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Site or engaging our services, you (“you” or the “Client”) confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not use the Site or engage our services. These Terms apply to all visitors, clients, collaborators, and applicants, including speaker and panelist applicants for our programmes and events.

These Terms also apply to online purchases and payments, event registrations, speaker and panelist applications, Student Speaker applications, Speaker + Visibility Package purchases, and digital programmes and online retreats offered through the Site.

By submitting an application or completing a purchase, you acknowledge that you have reviewed these Terms & Conditions, including the applicable selection, payment, cancellation, and refund provisions.

Bella & Bella Productions provides strategic advisory, investor relations, media and training, production, and related creative and professional services. The specific scope, deliverables, timeline, and fees for any engagement are confirmed in a separate written agreement, proposal, or booking confirmation (a “Service Agreement”).

Where these Terms and a Service Agreement differ, the Service Agreement prevails for that engagement only. Bookings, event registrations, and application submissions are not confirmed until accepted in writing by Bella & Bella Productions and, where applicable, until any required fee is paid in full.

Event applications and selection

Events and programmes organized by Bella & Bella Productions, including The Power of Pause™, may involve an application and selection process.

Submitting an application, making a payment, or receiving a payment confirmation does not guarantee acceptance, selection, participation as a speaker or panelist, or inclusion in the event programme.

All applications are evaluated by the organizing team according to relevant selection criteria, which may include professional experience, topic relevance, programme alignment, presentation quality, and event requirements.

Only applicants who receive formal written acceptance from Bella & Bella Productions are considered selected.

Bella & Bella Productions reserves the right to accept or decline applications and make reasonable curatorial decisions regarding the final programme, subject to applicable law.

You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information when engaging our services, submitting an application, or registering for an event. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any credentials, access details, or accounts we provide to you.

You agree to cooperate reasonably with Bella & Bella Productions, meet agreed content and approval deadlines, and supply materials in the formats and within the timeframes we request. Delays or failures to provide required information, approvals, or materials may affect delivery timelines and may result in additional fees.

Fees, deposits, and payment schedules for each professional engagement are set out in the relevant Service Agreement or booking confirmation. Unless otherwise stated in a Service Agreement, deposits are applied toward the total cost of that engagement.

Invoices are payable in the currency and by the method stated on the invoice. Unless otherwise agreed, invoices are due within the period stated on the invoice; late payment may suspend or delay deliverables.

Online payments and application fees

All prices are displayed in the currency specified at checkout. Customers are responsible for reviewing the product description, eligibility conditions, and applicable terms before completing payment.

Fees identified as non-refundable at the point of purchase are non-refundable, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

For The Power of Pause™ and other selective programmes, payment does not guarantee acceptance or selection.

A payment receipt confirms that a transaction has been processed. It does not constitute a speaking invitation, event participation agreement, or confirmation of selection.

Any additional payment-provider fees, exchange-rate charges, or bank charges may be applied by the customer’s payment provider and are the responsibility of the customer.

Cancellation, rescheduling, and refund terms for a separately contracted professional engagement are governed by the applicable Service Agreement. Where an event or programme has its own published cancellation policy, that policy applies.

As a general guide, cancellations of separately contracted services made in writing may be subject to a charge reflecting work already performed and costs incurred.

Non-refundable event application fees

All application fees for The Power of Pause™ and other programmes expressly identified as non-refundable are final and non-refundable, except where refunds are required by applicable law.

This includes unsuccessful applications and circumstances where an applicant:

• Is not selected or accepted.
• Withdraws an application.
• Changes their mind after submitting payment.
• Becomes unavailable to participate.
• Does not complete required application materials.
• Fails to meet participation requirements.

Non-selection does not itself entitle an applicant to a refund of a fee expressly identified as non-refundable.

Speaker + Visibility Package

Purchasing the Speaker + Visibility Package does not guarantee selection as a speaker or inclusion in the event programme.

Speaker participation and associated visibility benefits are conditional upon formal written acceptance and fulfilment of applicable programme requirements.

Any fees identified as non-refundable must be clearly disclosed before payment. Where an application is unsuccessful, the applicable refund terms remain subject to mandatory consumer protection rights and other legal obligations.

Organizer-initiated cancellations

If Bella & Bella Productions cancels an event or is unable to deliver a purchased service, affected customers will be notified and any applicable refunds, credits, transfers, or other remedies will be determined in accordance with the purchased service, contractual obligations, and applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms permits Bella & Bella Productions to retain payments in circumstances where a refund is legally required.
