(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 8.2;

8.3 Exercising your right to change your mind

8.3.1 When purchasing digital content online, you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund, but the cancellation rights do not apply after you have started to download or stream the digital content. 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.

8.3.2 Subject to Clause 8.3.4, when booking a 1-day event, you have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your booking, to cancel the booking and obtain a full refund. You can still cancel a booking after that time but you will not be entitled to a refund. You may however, transfer your booking to another date where possible (see clause 8.4)

8.3.3 Subject to Clause 8.3.4 where you have booked an event or multi-day course (a course that takes place over a series of days or modules) you have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your booking, to cancel the booking and obtain a full refund. After the 14 day cooling off period, you may cancel the booking at any time up to 2 weeks after the first module was delivered to you and we still refund the course fees less the deposit.

8.3.4 If the event is to take place within 14 days of the date of your booking, this means that you are giving us specific consent to provide the event within the normal cancellation period. By continuing with the booking, you understand and accept that, if you then cancel the booking the right to a refund will be lost.

8.4 Transferring a booking.

8.4.1 Single or 2 day events. You may transfer a booking to the same course to an alternative date provided you notify us in writing up to 30 days before the start date of the booking, subject to availability. Where we agree to transfer a booking, a new booking must be made within 6 months of the date we inform you that the booking can be transferred.

8.4.2 Events and module based courses. You may transfer a booking to the same course to an alternative date provided you notify us in writing up to 30 days before the start date of the booking, subject to availability. Please note that our courses book up very quickly so transfers are managed at our discretion and your first choice may not always be available. However, we will use our best endeavours to offer alternative options until all modules are complete.

8.4.3 Where a request to transfer a booking is made within the 30 day period stipulated, there will be no fee payable by you. Any requests to transfer with notice of less than 30 days are subject to our sole discretion and you will be subject to an administration charge of 10% of the course booking fee (plus VAT) and must be paid to us prior to the start of the new booking date.

8.4.4 We will only agree to transfer a course where we have confirmed this in writing to you.

8.5 Failure by you to attend a course module does not constitute grounds to a refund and you will be required to re-book that module (at an additional fee) before completing subsequent modules.

8.6 Where we agree to transfer a module or postpone the whole course, we will discuss with you whether this will have an effect on the original price paid. Where there has been no increase in price between the date you originally agreed the pricing plan and the date of proposed postponement, then we will not charge you any additional fee. Where there has been a price increase between the date you originally agreed the pricing plan and the date of the proposed postponement, we will ask you to pay the difference in price.

8.7 Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind (see Clause 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for digital content is completed when the product is delivered, downloaded or streamed and paid for. A contract for services is completed when we have finished providing the services and you have paid for them. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you have not changed your mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately, and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract. For most events, this will, in most cases, amount to 100% of the price paid.

12.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of GST. If the rate of GST changes between your order date and the date we supply the services, we will adjust the rate of GST that you pay, unless you have already paid for the services in full before the change in the rate of GST takes effect.

12.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, we make a mistake with the price. If we have overcharged you at the time of booking, we will refund you the difference. Where we have undercharged you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your booking. If we accept and process your booking where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may still end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and have no further legal obligation to you.

12.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. All courses and events must be paid for at the time of submitting your booking. Methods of payment are as stated on the website.

13. Our Responsibility For Loss Or Damage Suffered By You

13.1 If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.

13.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products.

13.3 If defective digital content which we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage which you could have avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage which was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us.

13.5 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply our services to individuals for domestic and private use only.

(a) to supply our services;

(b) to process your payment; and

(c) if you agreed to this during the booking process, to give you information about similar services or products that we provide, but you may stop receiving this at any time by contacting us.

15. Other Important Terms

15.1 Special offers and discounts. Any special offers or discounts on the website can be withdrawn at any time, without notice. Discounts for group bookings can only be given when all those being booked are attending the same event.

15.2 We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will contact you to let you know if we plan to do this.

15.3 You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, this also means that any courses or seminars booked can only be attended by the person named on the booking.

15.4 This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.

15.5 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

15.6 Even if we delay in enforcing this 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 breaking this 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 products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

15.7 These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts.

15.8 Mediation dispute resolution. Mediation dispute resolution (MDR) is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to contact an MDR provider however, as we are not members of an MDR, we shall, at our sole discretion, have the right as to whether to accept or reject your nominated MDR.
