We reserve the right, at our discretion, to modify, add, or remove any or all of these terms and conditions at any time and each such change shall be effective immediately upon posting.
Please check these terms and conditions periodically for changes.
The terms that apply to you are those posted here on Our Website on the day you order Services.
Your continued use of this site and purchase of goods on this site following the posting of changes to these terms and conditions will mean you accept those changes. Please check the terms before every purchase.
If any revised terms apply to your order, we will notify you of the changes. If you intend to cancel the Contract with us upon such changes, you may cancel either in respect of all the affected services or just the services you are yet to receive. If you opt to cancel, you shall return relevant goods you have already received and we will refund the price you have paid, including any delivery charges in accordance with our returns policy.
This agreement contains the entire agreement between us and supersedes all previous agreements and understandings between us.
Each party acknowledges that, in entering into this agreement, he/she does not rely on any representation, warranty, information or document or other term not forming part of this agreement.
If you use Our Website in any way and make an order on behalf of another person you warrant that you have full authority to do so and you accept personal responsibility for every act or omission by you.
The price of Services may be changed by us at any time. We will never change a price so as to affect the price charged to you at the time when you buy those Services.
If in future, you buy Services from us under any arrangement which does not involve your payment via Our Website, these terms still apply so far as they can be applied.
We do not sell the Services in all countries. We may refuse to deliver the Services if you live in a country we do not serve.
When you place an order with us, the legal contract between you and us will only come into existence when we tell you that we can supply the services to you, which we will communicate by email. If we tell you that we cannot supply the services to you for whatever reason, then we will not charge you for them. If we tell you that we are unable to supply the services, and we have already received payment from you, then we will promptly refund you for any services that we cannot provide to you.
If there is any conflict between these Terms and any term of the Order, the Order will take priority.
If you would like to make a change to the services for which you have already placed an order, please contact us as promptly as you can at contact@coachingstudies.org. We will always be willing to discuss with you whether the change you would like to make is possible, and whether there are likely to be any changes to price, times for delivery, any suspension period whilst any changes are made, or any other consequences or changes arising from your request. If your requested change is possible, we’ll ask you to confirm that you would like to continue with the change, to ensure that we’re both clear on how we need to fulfil your request.
In some circumstances, we may need to make minor changes to the services that you ordered. As these are minor changes and will not affect your use of the services, we will not usually contact you about these. These minor changes are likely to be:
It is possible that, exceptionally, we may need to make a more major change to the services. If these exceptional circumstances arise in relation to an order that you have placed with us, then we will contact you before we make the change to let you know. If you do not want to proceed with the change, you’ll be entitled to cancel the contract and the cancellation terms of these terms and conditions will apply.
The price of the services will be the price set out on our website at the time when you place your order. Our prices include VAT at the current rate.
We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that we do not make errors with the prices that we charge you. For example, before we accept your order, we usually try to check the website price against our price list in force at the time of your order. However, if an error has been made and the price in the price list is lower than the website price, then we will charge you the price on the price list (being the lower amount). If an error has been made and the price in the price list is higher than the website price, we will contact you to confirm how you would like to proceed (and if you want to cancel the contract, the cancellation terms of these terms and conditions will apply).
Any costs for delivery of the services and other costs associated with the services will be the amounts that were set out in the order process on our website.
When you need to pay us depends on the choice of payment you make upon ordering a service:
We accept payment by credit card, debit card and bank deposit.
Bank charges by the receiving bank on payments to us will be borne by us. All other charges relating to payment in a currency other than Euro will be borne by you. Any information given by us in relation to exchange rates are approximate only and may vary from time to time.
We take care to make Our Website safe for you to use.
Card payments are not processed through pages controlled by us. We use Stripe as an online payment service provider who will encrypt your card or bank account details in a secure environment.
If you have asked us to remember your credit card details in readiness for your next purchase or subscription, we will securely store your payment details on our systems. These details will be fully encrypted and only used to process your automatic monthly payments or other transactions which you have initiated.
Before you place your order on our Website, we will let you know when we will supply the services to you. All training dates are indicated on the Website. We will supply the services to you until the services have been completed or the contract is cancelled by you or by us or until we withdraw the services.
We will contact you if we are delayed in supplying the services to you because of circumstances which are not within our control. If we contact you within a reasonable time to let you know about this, then we will not be responsible for any delays due to those circumstances. However, if the delay continues beyond a reasonable amount of time, then you can contact us to cancel the contract, and we will provide you with a refund for any services that you have paid for but not yet received.
If something happens that means we must suspend the supply of the services to you, for example:
then we will contact you to let you know.
We will usually let you know in advance of any suspension unless it is an emergency – in which case, we will let you know as soon as reasonably possible. If we do suspend the supply of services, your payment will be adjusted so that you do not pay for the relevant suspended item during the period of suspension.
If we are going to suspend the supply of a service for more than six months, then you may contact us to cancel the contract. We will provide you with a refund for the relevant service for which you have made payment but have not yet received.
We will inform you during the order process of information that we need from you in order to supply you with the services.
If you don’t provide us with this required information in a reasonable time, or if information that you give us is not accurate, we may cancel the contract, or we may charge you for the additional costs that we incur as a result.
If you don’t give us required information within a reasonable time, we will not be liable to you if this causes a delay in providing you with the goods, or if we do not provide any part of them to you.
