Terms and Conditions

Last updated: September 2026

Welcome to The Maternity Plan.

These terms and conditions set out the rules for using this website, located at https://thematernityplan.com, and for buying my digital products and services. By accessing this website I assume you accept these terms. Please do not continue to use the website if you do not agree to them.

Throughout these terms, "I," "me" and "my" refer to The Maternity Plan, and "you" refers to you as a visitor or customer.

If you have any questions about these terms, email me at donna@thematernityplan.com

My products and services

I sell digital products, including The Maternity Blueprint, and 1:1 planning and consultancy calls. Prices are shown in pounds sterling and include any applicable tax. Payment is taken at the point of purchase via Stripe.

The Maternity Blueprint is an online planning portal that you access and complete through your browser, on your phone or laptop. It is not a file you download, although you can download and print your own completed Blueprint at any time.

Access is for your own personal use. You must not share your access, resell it, or make the Blueprint or its contents available to anyone else.

I intend to keep the Blueprint available and maintained for as long as it is sold. If I ever need to withdraw it, I will give existing customers reasonable notice and the opportunity to download and print their completed Blueprint first.

Digital content and cancellation

The Maternity Blueprint and any other digital products are supplied immediately on purchase.

Under regulation 37 of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, you are asked to give express consent to immediate supply and to acknowledge that you will lose your right to cancel under regulation 29(1) once supply begins. You give that consent and acknowledgement at checkout. Once access has been provided, the purchase is non-refundable.

This does not affect your statutory rights in respect of digital content that is faulty, not as described, or not fit for purpose.

Cancellation and rescheduling terms for 1:1 calls, and full details of my refund position, are set out in my Refund Policy.

Not legal, financial or medical advice

The Maternity Blueprint, my planning calls, my articles and everything else on this website are provided for general information and planning purposes. They are not legal, financial, tax or medical advice, and no solicitor–client or other professional relationship is created by using them.

Maternity rights, pay and benefits depend on your individual circumstances, your employer's own policies and your contract of employment, and the law changes over time. You should check the position that applies to you with official sources such as GOV.UK, ACAS or HMRC, with your employer, or with a qualified adviser before making decisions.

I am CIPD qualified and draw on many years of HR experience, but I am not a solicitor and I am not acting as your legal adviser. Any decisions you make remain your own.

Accuracy of information

I take care to keep the information in my products and on this website accurate and up to date, but I cannot warrant that it is complete, accurate or current at all times, or that the website will always be available.

Cookies

Some cookies are required for the website to function and do not need your consent. Please note that accepting required cookies may also involve third-party cookies, where third-party services are integrated into the website — for example an embedded video player.

Unless otherwise stated, The Maternity Plan and/or its licensors own the intellectual property rights in all material on this website and in all of my products. All rights are reserved.

You may access and use this material for your own personal use, subject to the restrictions in these terms.

Linking to this website

You may link to this website provided you do so in a way that is fair and legal, is not deceptive, does not falsely imply sponsorship or endorsement, and does not damage my reputation or take advantage of it.

You must not use my logo or other artwork to link to this website without a written licence agreement.

I reserve the right to ask you to remove any link to this website, and you agree to remove it promptly on request. I also reserve the right to amend these terms and my linking policy at any time.

Content on other websites

I am not responsible for content that appears on your website or any third-party website. You agree to protect and defend me against all claims arising from content on your website. No link to this website should appear on any website that may be considered libellous, obscene or criminal, or which infringes or advocates the infringement of any third-party rights.

If you find a link on this website that you consider offensive, you are welcome to contact me at any time. I will consider requests to remove links but am not obliged to act on them or to respond directly.

Liability

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes my liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded — including your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 in respect of digital content that is faulty, not as described, or not fit for purpose.

Subject to that:

• I am not liable for any loss arising from decisions you take based on information in my products or on this website

• I am not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of earnings, employment or opportunity

• My total liability in connection with any product or service is limited to the amount you paid for it

These limitations govern all liabilities arising under these terms, including liabilities arising in contract, in tort and for breach of statutory duty.

Changes to these terms

I may update these terms from time to time. The version published on this page at the time of your purchase or visit is the version that applies.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Any dispute will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
