3. How the contract is formed between you and us
3.1 Your booking is a request to us to reserve a place for you on a course with a specific start date (“course start date”) and duration, including any optional extra course choices (“course options”) chosen by you. All bookings are subject to acceptance by us. After placing an order, you will receive an email or text from us acknowledging that we have received and accept your order (the “order confirmation”). The order confirmation shall include a copy of these terms and conditions (“the contract”). The contract will only be formed when we send you the order confirmation.
By accepting the specific course start date you hereby accept that delivery of the course may fall outside of the 15 day delivery window from the date of the order confirmation.
3.2 The contract will relate only to those courses and chosen course options which we have confirmed we will provide in the order confirmation. The value of the contract will be the sum of the tuition fee and any course options (“the course fee”).
3.3 You warrant that all information provided to us by you for the purposes of the contract is complete and accurate.
4. Instalment policy and instalment fee
4.1 For certain courses you may choose at the time you make your course booking either to pay the course fee in full or to pay by instalments.
4.2 If you choose to pay by instalments, the due date for subsequent payments and any refunds due if you choose to withdraw from the course, are set out in our fee information and refund policy.
5. Price and payment
5.1 The course fee will be as quoted on our site at the time of order, except in cases of obvious error. These prices, where applicable, are inclusive of a sum representing UK VAT.
5.2 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you an order confirmation.
5.3 It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the courses or course options listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. If the correct price for a course or a course option is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. Any price paid will be refunded to you but we shall have no liability to you beyond the price paid.
5.4 We are under no obligation to book you on a course at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an order confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
5.5 You will be responsible for paying us the course fee unless you cancel your course booking within the period of eligibility for a refund as in Clause 6.2, or within our refund policy as set out in our fee information and refunds policy.
5.6 Payment by you via our site must be by credit or debit card; we accept most major debit and credit cards. You may contact our Admissions Team if you wish to pay the course fee by another method.

6.5 We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise. In any event you will not incur any fees as a result of this reimbursement.
6.6 If you requested to begin the performance of the contract during the cancellation period (i.e. if the course commences during the 7 day cancellation period or if you access the course materials via our online course spaces (i.e. via our virtual learning environment), you shall pay us an amount which is in proportion to what has been performed up until you have communicated to us your cancellation from this contract, in comparison to full coverage of the contract.
6.7 Express request to start the services within the cancellation period – if you wish to start our services during the cancellation period, you must make an express request to do so in writing, e.g. email.
