9. THE CLIENT’S COVENANTS AND WARRANTIES
9.1 The Client agrees that where it is utilising the Services it shall:
(a) Other than in accordance with law it shall not make any statement or undertake or perform any act or omission which brings or is reasonably likely to bring MMA or any of its Personnel into disrepute, and without limitation, where the Client is not an individual, it shall not cause or allow any of its Personnel to engage in any activity, conduct or otherwise that shall or may prejudicially affect the reputation or goodwill of MMA or its business;

10.5 While MMA has used its reasonable endeavours to develop training programmes and Goods that are designed to deliver helpful outcomes for clients, certain training, coaching, consultation and outcomes from Goods can have results that vary from individual to individual or which may not work in required timeframes or provide the expected or desired results or are dependent on the client to couple any learning with dietary and exercise requirements and other healthy practices. Accordingly, MMA cannot warrant any particular outcome from its training and individual clients may not achieve the desired results from a course or use of any Goods supplied, despite it being generally designed to provide those results, or in the case of Goods, designed to provide results in conjunction with consultation and advice from your consultant.
