THE ARDENT MENTORING PROGRAM

 

1.1 Ardent Mentoring involvement in the mentoring program is limited to identifying the Mentor and Mentee from a pool of volunteers and introducing the Mentor to the Mentee. Ardent will do this at its discretion and may decline to do so for any reason.

​

Ardent will have no other role in the operation of the program, except it may decide, at its sole discretion, to seek feedback from the Mentors and Mentees. Ardent is not responsible for the skills, experience, character, circumstances, or other attributes of any Mentor or Mentee. (Ardent has not checked or verified the skills, experience, character, circumstances, or other attributes of any Mentor or Mentee.)

​

1.2 The expectation is that the mentoring program will consist of Zoom meetings and/or phone calls and/or email or other communications between the Mentor and the Mentee from time to time, the content, frequency, and duration of which will be as agreed upon between the Mentor and the Mentee. 

​

1.3 The Mentor shall not at any time be obliged to continue to provide any mentoring services to the Mentee once the term has concluded, but if and to the extent that it does so, this is at the discretion of the mentor.

 

2. LIABILITY

​

2.1 The Mentee shall not at any time be obliged to act on any information, suggestion, advice, or guidance given by the Mentor as part of the mentoring program, but if and to the extent that it does so, it shall do so at its own risk.

​

2.2 The Mentee is advised to take independent financial, legal or other appropriate professional (if relevant) before acting on any information, suggestion, advice, or guidance given by the Mentor. If you act on any advice given by the Mentor, you hereby agree that you are taking the action of your own independent volition and you are not relying on the Mentor for the success of any action taken by you.

​

2.3 Ardent is not liable to the Mentor, Mentee, or any third party for any loss, damage, costs or liabilities suffered as a result of this agreement, the existence of the relationships between the parties, the services provided, or the act or omissions of the Mentor or Mentee. Nothing in this clause shall limit or exclude any liability for death or personal injury, or which results from fraud. The Mentor is acting in a voluntary capacity, and Ardent does not guarantee the quality or accuracy of their advice or consulting.

 

3. TERM

​

3.1 Whilst the Mentor and the Mentee remain engaged in the mentoring program (whether such engagement exists to be determined by Ardent acting reasonably), these Terms and Conditions will continue in force.

 

4. CONFIDENTIALITY

​

4.1 The Mentor and the Mentee hereby permit Ardent to refer to the Mentee, the Mentor, and the existence of the arrangement contemplated by this agreement in any publication or material it may use to publicize and promote the work of Ardent.

​

4.2 Neither the Mentee nor the Mentor may use or mention Ardent’s name, logo or any other intellectual property of Ardent in any of their publicity materials or in any announcement, without the prior written consent of Ardent.

​

4.4 The Mentee and Mentor will keep in strict confidence all and any information of a confidential nature that it obtains about either of the other parties as a result of the arrangements contemplated by this agreement. This clause shall not apply in relation to any information that is already available in the public domain other than as a result of a breach of this clause by any party.
