1.Your order
We will do our best to fulfil your order but cannot guarantee to do so. If you are ordering from our website, your order is placed and you are committed to pay for it when you press the “Place Order” button at the end of the checkout process. We will confirm we have received any order you place through our website and we will acknowledge that your order is being processed. However no order is accepted and no contract is created between you and us unless and until we dispatch any physical items to you, or we give you access to any online resources or downloads, or we confirm acceptance of your Event booking.
By submitting your order for downloads (such as ebooks and pdfs), you agree we may process your order and give you access to the downloads as soon as possible. You may not cancel an order for a download once payment has been confirmed, as this is when the download process starts. We will process your order on receipt, but we do not guarantee immediate response or availability of online resources or downloads.
2. Price
Prices are as stated from time to time on our Website and are subject to change without notice.
3. Payment
All credit/charge card payments are subject to authorisation by the card issuer. If your payment is not authorised, we will cancel your order (and notify you that we have done so) and you must return the goods to us (if you have already received them) at your own expense. The goods remain our property until you have paid for them.
In the case of online resources and downloads, including online subscription services, these will only be made available to you once your payment has been authorised, unless we have agreed credit terms with you.
We may suspend your access to all or part of any subscription service if you are late with your subscription payments.

If we do not hear from you within those 3 business days your booking will remain in place for the new time/date/venue and you may not subsequently claim a refund.

When arranging an in-house Event we will communicate with you using the contact details you provided at the point of purchase.
