Purchases and payment
- You will be able to purchase a Course directly using our provided Services. At the time you place an order for purchase, you must give authority for payment. We may take payment from you at any time between you placing the order and us making the content available to you.
- When you indicate that you wish to purchase a Course, you will be required to make the full payment of the course price. A purchase will not be complete and you will not have secured a place on your selected Course until you have made payment and received a confirmation e-mail from us.
- Payment will be made to us via our PayPal account or by credit or debit card or any other method mentioned on the Website.
- Upon getting notification that you have paid, we will verify the Course and provide access details by e-mail. We may also notify your purchase to Instructor and, where necessary, provide them with your contact details. By making a purchase, you confirm that you consent to us passing your contact details to the Instructor.
- At the point we confirm your purchase, a binding agreement will be formed for the purchase of the Course. Your purchase will always be subject to, and the Course will be provided in accordance with, the terms of the Instructors on the relevant listing.
- Your order is a proposition to purchase the Course content from us. There will be no contract of any kind between you and us (Website) unless and until we actually take payment from you. At any point up until then, we may decline to provide the Course to you without showing any reason. If we take payment and consequently fail to make available the Course for any reason, we will refund your payment in full. Please note all refunds will be issued to the original method of payment used.
- The charges payable for the Courses that you order are clearly set out on the Website or application on which you make your purchase. If, by mistake, we have under-priced a Course, we will not be liable to supply that Course to you at the stated price.
- All prices are displayed inclusive of any VAT payable unless otherwise declared.
Your Right to Cancel
- You can cancel your order up to 14 days after your order is delivered. But you have to give a proper ground/reason for withdrawing. This period allows you a conditional right to cancel.
- How to cancel: E-mail us at info@WEBSITENAME.uk or call us +PHONE NUMBER with your order details to cancel your order.
Course Supplies and Content
- The course material will be made available per the course description and, subject to our right to alter/modify or delete any material, will be accessible for the duration of the course. It will not be accessible (save for a limited period at our discretion) after the course is complete. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you download all the available material during the term of the course.
- We make great efforts to guarantee that the Instructors who list their Courses are providing Courses of a high standard but we take no accountability and will have no liability to you if the Course does not meet your requirements or you find it inadequate in some way and your right of action or claim will be against the Instructor.
- We will use conscious attempts to solve any technical issues which prevent or limit access to the material during the course. Access may occasionally be restricted or interrupted to allow for repairs, maintenance or the introduction of new facilities or services.
- We take no responsibility if you lose or delete downloadable material during or after the course, although we may attempt to assist recovery at our discretion.
Termination and suspension
- We may suspend your account at any time should you be in breach of these terms. Besides, if you have not registered with us, we may suspend your access to the Services if we believe you to be in breach of this Agreement.
- If we suspend your Account or access to the Services for any reason, we may refuse to provide you with any Services or the right to purchase further Courses.
