If you disagree with any element of these terms, please DO NOT USE this website or service. By using our website and broader services, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. Users of our website and broader services should read these Terms & Conditions in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.
You are providing your explicit consent to process your data as described and receive payment, as and when authorised by you.
By visiting, pre-registering, registering or using any aspect of our services, you are entering into a legally binding agreement with Setyourworth.com, a trading name of CoveyCarrot, based in the United Kingdom.
You are acknowledging you are over 18 years old, and where you are accessing our services on behalf of a company, you are authorised to do so.
