This might be because the Services cannot be delivered because of trainer incapacity due to illness or because of low subscription to the training course you have booked; or because of unexpected limits on our resources, which we could not reasonably plan for; or because we have identified an error in the price or description of the Services; or because we are unable to meet a delivery date or deadline specified by you.

5.    YOUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES

  • 5.1   If you wish to make a change to the Services you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible, we will let you know about any changes to the Charges for the Services, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change. We will then ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.

6.   CANCELLING YOUR ORDER (Consumers)

  • 6.1   You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the Contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing, when you decide to end the Contract and whether you are a consumer or a business customer:

    (a)   If what you have bought is mis-described you may have a legal right to end the Contract (or to have some or all of the Services re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 6.2;
    (b)   If you want to end the Contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 6.2;
    (c)   If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the Services, see clauses 6.3-6.5. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions, and you will have to pay the costs of return of any training materials;
    (d)   In all other cases (if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer exercising your right to change your mind), see clause 6.6.
  • 6.2   Ending the Contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending the Contract for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below the Contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any Services which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:

    (a)   we have told you about an upcoming change to these Terms which you do not agree to (see clause 7.3);
    (b)   we have told you about an error in the price or description of the Services you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
    (c)   there is a risk that supply of the Services may be significantly delayed because of Events Outside Our Control (see clause 19);
    (d)   we have suspended supply of the Services for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 45 days; or
    (e)   you have a legal right to end the Contract because of something we have done wrong.
  • 6.3   Exercising your right to change your mind if you are a consumer (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). If you are a consumer then for most Services bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in clauses 6.4 and 6.5 of these Terms.
  • 6.4   When consumers do not have a right to change their minds. Your right as a consumer to change your mind does not apply in respect of:

    (a)   digital products after you have started to download or stream them; or
    (b)   Services, once they have been completed, even if the cancellation period under clause 6.3 is still running.
  • 6.5   How long do consumers have to change their minds? If you are a consumer how long you have to change your mind depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered:

    (a)   Where you have bought Services, such as a training course at which you are required to attend in person or online on a set date and time, you have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your order. However, once we have completed the Services you cannot change your mind, even if the cancellation period is still running. If you cancel after we have started to perform the Services, even if that is during the cancellation period, you must pay us for the Services provided up until the time you tell us that you have changed your mind, including for any course materials that you have received up to that time.
    (b)   Where you have bought Services by way of digital content for download or streaming (for example, a pre-recorded training course or e-learning), you have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your order, or, if earlier, until you start downloading or streaming. If we delivered the digital content to you immediately, and you agreed to this when ordering, you will not have a right to change your mind.
  • 6.6    Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has a right to change their mind (see clause 6.1), you can still end the Contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. The Contract for Services is completed when we have finished providing the Services and you have paid for them. If you want to end the Contract before it is completed (where we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has changed their mind), you must write to us to let us know in accordance with clause 6.7. The Contract will end immediately, and we will refund any sums paid by you for Services not provided, but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the Contract, based on the timing of the cancellation in accordance with the following tables: 

    (a)   Public Courses (i.e. a training course open to any number of delegates, who may book to attend as individuals or groups of individuals) 
Time of Cancellation (i.e. number of days prior to Services start date)Cancellation Fee due from youAmount of refund to you

  • 6.7   Where you have placed an order and paid in advance to attend a programme of training courses, as part of a certification or other programme, and attend some but not all of the courses within that programme, you will not be able to cancel the courses not attended. Instead, it will be treated as a non-attendance by you and no refund will be payable. Where you can demonstrate that your non-attendance was due to illness and/or other exceptional circumstances beyond your reasonable control, we may (at our discretion) agree to postpone your attendance for missed courses from the programme to another date.
  • 6.8   To cancel the Contract, or any part of the Services, you must complete the Cancellation Form on our website. A link to the website Cancellation Form will be included in our Order Confirmation. We will email you to confirm we have received your cancellation. 
  • 6.9   Refunds. If you cancel the Contract or any part of the Services, we will aim to refund you for the price paid for all or part of the Services cancelled, by the same method you used for the original payment within 28 calendar days. We may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the Services provided for the period up to the time when you gave notice of cancellation in accordance with clause 6.6. We shall not be responsible for any fluctuation and/or change in bank charges and/or exchange rates in respect of refunds to non-UK bank accounts or credit cards or other repayment methods. For the avoidance of doubt, no refunds will be given in respect of any costs of which you are informed, at the time of booking and/or at any time during the booking process, are non-refundable.
  • 6.10   Rescheduling your course or examination. If you would like to request a reschedule of any part of the Services (for example, the date of attendance on a course or an examination), you must complete the Request for Change Form on our website. A link to the website Request for Change form will be included in our Order Confirmation. We will email you to confirm we have received your request. Alternatively, you can contact us in accordance with clause 6.7 by email or telephone or by post. Our ability to reschedule any part of the Services may depend on the timing of your request for reschedule and/or the conditions of booking of any relevant examination body. If we are unable to reschedule any part of the Services, they will be treated instead as a cancellation request under clause 6.6 to which clause 6.9 shall also apply. 

7.   OUR SERVICES

10.   CHARGES

  • 10.1   In consideration of us providing the Services you must pay our charges (Charges) in accordance with this clause 10.
  • 10.2   Subject to clause 10.6, the Charges are the prices quoted on our site at the time you submit your order. The prices quoted are exclusive of any and all travel, accommodation, living expenses or other associated costs for attending any training course provided by us as part of the Services. 
  • 10.3   If you wish to change the scope of the Services after we accept your order, and we agree to such change, we will modify the Charges accordingly.

We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. However, if we mistakenly accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mis-pricing, we may cancel supply of the Services and refund you any sums you have paid.

We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the Contract.

  • 21.5   Nobody else has any rights under the Contract. The Contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the Contract or make any changes to these Terms.

  • 21.7   Even if we delay in enforcing the Contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaching the terms of the Contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
