TERMS AND CONDITIONS

FOR THE SUPPLY OF TRAINING COURSES

1. SERVICE AVAILABILITY

Our site is only intended for use by people resident in the United Kingdom. We do not accept orders from individuals outside those countries.

2. YOUR STATUS

   1. By placing an order through the site, you warrant that:
      1. you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and
      2. you are at least 18 years old;
      3. you are resident in the United Kingdom

3. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US

   1. After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy Training. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Training has been booked (the “Booking Confirmation”). The contract between us (the “Contract”) will only be formed when we send you the Booking Confirmation.
   2. The Contract will relate only to Training whose booking we have confirmed in the Booking Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Training which may have been part of your order until we have confirmed your booking for such Training in a separate Booking Confirmation.

4. CONSUMER RIGHTS

   1. If you are contracting as a consumer and subject to Clause 4.3, you may cancel a Contract at any time within seven working days, beginning on the day after the day the Contract is made (the “cooling-off period”). In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Training in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in clause 9 below).
   2. To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing.
   3. You will not have any right to cancel a Contract for the supply of any Training where the Training starts before the acceptance of the cancellation period specified in Clause 4.1.
   4. Details of this statutory right, and an explanation of how to exercise it, are provided in the Booking Confirmation. This provision does not affect your statutory rights.

5. CANCELLATION

   1. Once a Contract is formed between us, you will be liable for the full price of the Training and may not cancel the Contract or cancel or reschedule any Training unless both of us agree to this in writing. You may not withhold payment for the Training and are not entitled to receive a refund of the price you have paid for the Training unless we agree to this in writing.] This clause does not affect your right to cancel the Contract under clause 4.1.
   2. We reserve the right to refuse to provide the Training if you have not paid us for the Training.

6. PROVISION OF TRAINING

   1. The Training will be provided on the dates specified in the Booking Confirmation or if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days of the date of the Booking Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
   2. We reserve the right to alter the venue for the Training and to alter the training personnel. If we alter the venue, we will notify you of the change in venue as soon as possible and in any event before the Training starts.
   3. We reserve the right to cancel, curtail or reschedule Training. If we do this, we will use reasonable endeavours to notify you before the Training was due to start. Where we cancel Training we shall refund the price of the Training that has been cancelled or if Training is curtailed we shall refund part of the price you paid for the Training which will be in proportion to the part of the Training that has been curtailed. If we reschedule Training we shall notify you of the new date for provision of the Training. If you do not wish to accept the new date you must notify us within 7 days of the date of the Training that you wish to cancel the Training and we shall refund the price of the Training. If you do not notify us within this timescale you will be deemed to have accepted the rescheduled Training. You will not be entitled to receive any other compensation for our cancellation, curtailment or rescheduling of the Training.
   4. We may help you to specify or choose Training, but the assessment and selection of your chosen Training for your requirements is your responsibility and you must satisfy yourself that the Training is suitable for your requirements.

7. PRICE AND PAYMENT

   1. The price of any Training will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
   2. These prices are subject to VAT at the prevailing rate.
   3. Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Booking Confirmation.
   4. The site contains a large number of Training and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Training listed on the site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our booking procedures so that, where the correct price of Training is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when the Training is booked. If the correct price of Training is higher than the price stated on the site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before the Training is booked, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
   5. We are under no obligation to provide Training to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Booking Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
   6. If you do not make payment on time we may charge you interest at 4% over Barclays Bank plc’s base rate from time to time in force on the amount outstanding. Interest will accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment. This clause does not apply to payments that are withheld in good faith.

8. OUR REFUNDS POLICY

   1. If you have cancelled the Contract between us within the seven-day cooling-off period (see clause 4.1 above) and provided that the date for Training was not before the end of the cooling off period, we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day you have given notice of your cancellation. In this case, we will refund the price of the Training in full.
