2.  INSIGHTS DISCOVERY ACCREDITATION (IDA) BOOKING

​

When the booking of an Insights Discovery Accreditation (IDA) for a Client Practitioner (CP) is confirmed by The Distributor in writing, a contract is deemed to exist. Any cancellation or postponement of the IDA must be confirmed in writing. The terms and conditions for cancelling or postponing an IDA mirror those of Insights: if any agreed dates are cancelled with less than 21 days’ notice, 100% of the fees are payable.  Prior to this, dates can be postponed without charge on one occasion, any subsequent postponement up to 21 days before the IDA will be charged at 10%.

 

3. IDA COMPLETION

​

A candidate who successfully completes the IDA course and assessments will qualify as an Insights Accredited Practitioner and will be granted a licence to access certain practitioner materials to use and deliver certain Insights products internally to the Client as a CP for a period of one year from the date of their accreditation (the “IDA Year”). The Distributorship will also enable access for the CP to Insights Online.

 

4. BLUE GNU PRACTITIONER COMMUNITY

​

Once accredited, the CP will also be able to join, for free, The Blue Gnu Practitioner Community to share best practice and learn from other Insights licensed practitioners. Within this community, The Distributor will provide events to help new and existing CPs on the inside of our Client organisations to get the best out of the Insights Discovery model.

 

5. ANNUAL LICENCE

​

All CPs at the Client organisation must be licensed through The Distributorship. Upon expiration of the IDA year, and each CP Annual Licence Period thereafter, each CP must pay an Annual Licence Fee to The Distributorship to maintain their accreditation to deliver Insights products internally to the Client and to be able to access materials. CPs may not deliver, run or facilitate any events incorporating Insights products to anyone other than the Client.

 

Where the expiration of the IDA Year falls during a CP Annual Licence Period, The Distributorship will charge for the CP Annual Licence Fee on a pro rata basis for the first CP Annual Licence Period. Thereafter, all CP Annual Licence Fees shall be paid in full for each subsequent CP Annual Licence Period
 

Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties, the CP Annual Licence Fee will be invoiced on 1st December each year and is payable in advance of the next CP Annual Licence Period for all active CPs.

​

6. INSIGHTS PROFILES AND MATERIALS

​

All Insights products (Insights Units for profiles, and materials e.g., soft blocks, floor mats etc.) must be purchased through The Distributorship. The CP must provide enough lead time for Insights Units to be purchased. The minimum order for Insights Units is 2500. The transfer of Insights Units to the CPs account will occur on receipt of payment.

 

CPs should order Insights materials with at least 14 days’ notice to allow sufficient time for the order to be processed and postage time. All orders will incur a postage and package charge as outlined in the CP Price List.

 

All orders of Insights Units and materials are non-refundable.

 

7. BLUE GNU ADMINISTRATION SUPPORT  

​

Once the CP is licensed and wishes to generate Insights Discovery Profiles, there are two options at The Distributorship. The first option is for the CP to order Insights Units and generate their own profiles through their Insights Online account, whereas the second option is for The Distributorship to generate the profiles and email to the CP. If the CP choses this second option, The Distributor will provide the CP with Blue Gnu’s URL to send to delegates. The CP is required to provide a delegate list so that The Distributor can monitor completion of the evaluator. The Distributor will generate the Insights Discovery Profiles with the chapters requested and PDFs will be sent by email. The cost of this service is detailed in the CP Price List.
