We intend that the terms of our contract will also include any special agreed terms that have been subsequently discussed, confirmed and agreed in writing between you and us.

You are only permitted to use this website to submit an offer to buy goods, places on our courses or other services if you are aged 16 years or older.

your offer to purchase goods / services

Nothing on this website is intended to mean that we are making a legally binding offer to you to provide goods, places on our courses or other services: instead, we are inviting you to make a legally binding offer to us to purchase goods, places on our courses or other services. 

Offers can be submitted by completing the online order form on our website and clicking on the “SUBMIT ORDER” button.

acknowledgement of your offer

Once you have submitted your offer to us, you should be presented with a confirmation webpage which sets out the final details of your offer. 

We shall also endeavour to confirm the details of your offer by email within 24 hours.  Please note that although this email constitutes notification of receipt of your offer, it does not constitute our acceptance of your offer.

acceptance of your offer &  formation of our contract

Unless specifically accepted by us as set out below, we will not be bound by any offers submitted by you via this website. 

Our contract with you is formed only when we have accepted your order by:-

§         delivering the goods or providing the services you have offered to purchase (in which case the date of formation of the contract is the date on which we attempt to deliver the goods or perform the services); or

§         if earlier, sending you notice of our acceptance by email or by post (in which case the date of  formation of our contract is the date shown on that notice of acceptance).

All contracts shall be concluded in the English language.

rejection of your offer

It is entirely at our discretion to accept or reject any offer submitted by you.  Our acceptance of such offers is always subject to authorisation of your payment card (or receipt of payment in cleared funds), availability of stock at the stated price and confirmation that you have read and accepted these terms and conditions by clicking on the “I ACCEPT” button.

If for whatever reason we are unable to accept your order, we shall endeavour to notify you of this promptly and shall provide a full refund of any prepayments made.

 

address

Goods ordered via this website can only be delivered to addresses in the UK (and such other territories as may be specifically detailed in our website), being the address provided by you in your offer to purchase goods or services from us.  Courses and other services can only be delivered at the venues specified on our website.

date

If we accept your offer to purchase goods, places on our courses or other services from us, we shall use reasonable endeavours to deliver the goods or provide the services you have ordered:-

§         within thirty (30) days after we receive your offer; or

§         if we agree an alternative date with you, by that date (provided that the alternative date is not merely declared to be an estimate).

We can only deliver goods to you during normal  working hours, on normal working days Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays).  We are unable to specify the exact time or period in the day at which the goods will be delivered to you.

delay

If we anticipate any delay in delivery or performance, we shall endeavour to notify you of such delay as soon as possible.

If we cannot supply you with the goods, places on our courses or other services you have ordered within thirty (30) days after we receive your offer (or by any alternative date we have agreed with you), we shall endeavour to inform you accordingly and you shall have the option of either:-

§         accepting a later delivery/performance date which we propose to you; or

§         cancelling your contract with us (or, as appropriate, cancelling your offer) and accepting a refund of any prepayments which you have made.

If we are unable to contact you (or are otherwise unable to ascertain your preference in relation to the above two options) within seven (7) days after the expected delivery date our contract with you shall be treated as cancelled in full.

If delivery of goods ordered by you is not accepted within two weeks of our first attempt to deliver the goods to any specified address, we reserve the right to charge you for any consequential storage costs reasonably incurred by us.

payment methods

All payments must be made in UK pounds Sterling (and we reserve the right to make any refunds in UK pounds Sterling.)  Our receipt of cleared funds sent by you does not constitute our acceptance of your order.

Payment for goods, places on our courses or other services ordered is processed using the services of Paypal.  Payment may be made by any of the methods below and will be debited when we accept your offer, or when we deliver the goods or perform the services ordered by you, whichever is earlier:-

§         Visa/Delta/Electron

In addition to the price of goods, delivery charges may be payable by you.  The delivery charge will be that shown on the order form section of our website at the time you place your order.  A greater charge is applicable to delivery outwith the UK: this should be detailed on our website but should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

errors made by us

While we try to ensure that the descriptions, prices and delivery charges displayed on our website are correct, errors may occur.  If, prior to delivery to you, we discover an error in relation to goods or services you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible and you will then have the option of either:-

§         confirming your offer to purchase subject to the corrected description, price or delivery charge; or

§          cancelling your offer to purchase and receiving a full refund of any prepayments.

If we are unable to contact you (or are otherwise unable to ascertain your preference in relation to the above two options) within seven (7) days after the expected delivery date our contract with you shall be treated as cancelled in full.

§         After you have submitted your offer to us: by contacting us by post or by email, prior to acceptance by us of your offer.  Our contact details can be found at the end of these Course Terms and Conditions.

our right to cancel

The sale and supply of goods, places on our courses or other services are always subject to availability of stock, availability of staff and venues, and receipt of your payment in cash or in cleared funds, so:-

§         In the event that we are reasonably unable to supply the goods, course or other services which you have ordered due to circumstances beyond our control, we will endeavour to inform you of this as soon as possible and our contract with you will, insofar as it relates to goods or services which we are unable to supply, be treated as cancelled. Any prepayment which you have made will be refunded to you in full.

§         In the event that your payment is not authorised, we will endeavour to inform you of this as soon as possible and our contract with you will be treated as cancelled.

your right to cancel

You have a right to cancel your order for goods or services at any time before the expiry of the “cooling-off period”, which is a period of seven (7) working days after the date on which:-

§         if your order was for goods, you receive the goods; or

§         if your order was for services, our contract with you is formed (by us accepting  your offer in accordance with the ‘order process’ explained above.)

exceptions to your right to cancel

You do not have a right to cancel your order:-

§         after the end of the cooling-off period (unless the goods, courses or other services provided are faulty, defective or  not in accordance with specification); or

§         if your order is for a place on our courses or other services and you have agreed to performance of these services before the cooling-off period has ended; or

§         if your order is for goods which are perishable or, by reason of their nature, cannot be returned; or

§         if your order is for goods which have been specifically made to your specification, are clearly personalised or are otherwise unique (unless the goods or services provided are faulty or  not in accordance with specification).

If, at our sole discretion, we allow you to return unwanted goods which conform to contract after the cooling-off period has ended, we reserve the right to charge you a  handling fee based on any consequential costs we incur.

how to exercise your right to cancel

If you wish to cancel your order, you must notify us (using the contact details provided at the end of these Course Terms and Conditions) by delivering the notice to us by hand, by post, or by email.  If you have placed more than one current order, please specify clearly which order you wish to cancel.

return of goods where your order is cancelled

If you wish to exercise your right to cancel after the goods you have ordered have been delivered, you must arrange for return of the goods to us at your own cost within seven (7) working days from the date we receive notice of cancellation from you. 

If you fail to return the goods to us within this time, you must, at our request, make the goods available for collection and we reserve the right to charge you the direct cost to us of recovering the goods.

duty to take care of goods

You are under a duty to take reasonable care of goods to be returned  following cancellation by you.  You will be liable for any loss or damage to the goods if you fail in this duty.  Without limitation, this duty requires you to ensure that:-

§         prior to being returned to us, the goods are carefully, safely and securely stored;

§         goods being returned are packaged in a manner which is adequate for transit, taking into account the nature of the goods being returned and the distance which they are required to travel (please use the original protective packaging if still available: we will not provide additional packaging or boxes); and

§         (unless we decide to exercise our right to recover the goods from you), the goods are correctly addressed, bear adequate postage and are transported using a reputable carrier so as to ensure that the goods are not lost or damaged in transit.

refunds

If your order is cancelled, we will refund to you any monies paid within thirty (30) days of notice of cancellation being given. 

We reserve the right to deduct from the monies being refunded the direct cost to us of recovering the goods if you fail to return them to us within seven (7) working days from the date we receive notice of cancellation from you.

rejecting defective goods

If you wish to reject goods we have provided because you believe them to be faulty,  not in accordance with specification, or damaged on delivery, you must inform us within a reasonable period of time and you must make the rejected goods available for collection by our courier at our request.

Where we have provided goods which were faulty,  not in accordance with specification, or damaged on delivery, we are usually able to offer a repair (where reasonably possible), replacement or a refund.

If you reject goods which are in every respect what you ordered (being in accordance with specification, and not damaged on delivery) and you are not otherwise entitled to cancel your contract with us, we reserve the right to charge you the direct cost to us of collecting, testing, storing and redelivering the rejected goods.

duty to take care of goods

You are under a duty to take reasonable care of goods you are rejecting, irrespective of whether they are faulty, not in accordance with specification, or were damaged on delivery.  You will be liable for any loss of damage to the goods if you fail in this duty.  Without limitation, this duty requires you to ensure that:-

§         prior to being returned to us, the goods are carefully, safely and securely stored;

§         at the time they are made available for collection, the goods are packaged in a manner which is adequate for transit, taking into account the nature of the goods being returned and the distance which they are required to travel (please use the original protective packaging if still available: we will not provide additional packaging or boxes).
