Terms and ConditionsA. Open (or venue) Courses1. You may book delegates onto open events by sending us a fax or email. Once you have sent us this booking we will treat it as a firm booking. If your emails or faxes carry notices to the contrary, you are expressly refuting those notices by using this method of booking a place or places on an event or events. At this stage please make sure you inform us of the name and address of the person who you want us to send the invoice to. Please include either a purchase order number or a statement that your organisation does not use these.2. We will always acknowledge your booking within five working days of receiving it. At this stage please note that your booking is not confirmed. This is because courses need minimum numbers before they can run. Do not make any firm travel or hotel arrangements at this stage. If you haven’t heard from us, please resend your email or call 08454 300 262. 3. At least ten working days before the first day of the event, we will confirm your booking by email. You should not treat a booking as confirmed until you have received this notification. If you have not heard about any event two weeks before you are due to attend, please telephone us immediately. 4. We will not cancel an event unless we have no other option. If we do have to cancel an event we will give you as much notice as we can. In the event that we have to cancel an event later than noon on the previous working day, we will reimburse the reasonable travelling costs of any delegate whom you are unable to contact. |

| 5. Our
prices for open courses include tea and coffee and a light
lunch. We do our best to accommodate any special dietary requirements,
although we are unable to guarantee this as we have to rely on the
training venues to provide food and drink.
6. You may cancel a place on a training event at any time. There is no charge so long as twenty-eight days remain between the date of cancellation and the start date of the event (with both dates included in the twenty-eight days). Cancellations after this date attract a full charge. 7. If you agree to host an open event you can change your mind at any time up to and including four weeks before the event is due to start. If you change your mind after this time, you may be liable for our costs in arranging a new venue. 8. If you agree to host an event but are unable to provide rooms on the day, you will be liable for the reasonable travel costs of all parties, for our costs in arranging a new venue and for our losses. B. Closed (in house) Events and Consultancy9. You may book a closed event or consultancy by sending us a fax or email. Once you have sent us this booking we will treat it as a firm booking. If your emails or faxes carry notices to the contrary, you are expressly refuting those notices by using this method of booking a place or places on an event or events. At this stage please make sure you inform us of the name and address of the person who you want us to send the invoice to. Please include either a purchase order number or a statement that your organisation does not use these.10. If you book an in-house event that is an ‘off the shelf’ course, you may cancel this booking at any time. There is no charge as long as twenty-eight days remain between the date of cancellation and the start date of the event (with both dates included in the twenty-eight days). Cancellations after this date attract a full charge. Bespoke events are counted as consultancy for cancellation purposes. 11. Bookings for consultancy or bespoke events may be cancelled but will always be charged at the full rate. This is because we often start to prepare materials many weeks before the days that we come to see you to actually carry out consultancy or training. Provided, however , that you give us at least four weeks notice, we are quite prepared to offer alternative dates to you at no extra charge. Changes to dates at less than four weeks notice will be subject to a charge of 20% of the total cost for the dates changed. Changes to dates of less than two weeks notice will be subject to a charge of 40% of the total cost for the dates changed. C. All events12. We will provide certificates for all delegates, in the names and spellings that we are given, for all training events (but see ‘13’ below). You will be charged £10.00 for each certificate that has to be reissued because we have been incorrectly notified of the delegates’ names.13. For briefing events or any half day session we provide one certificate to the organisation covering all attendees. 14. We will always endeavour to modify events to suit the delegates but, in all cases, you are responsible for ensuring that you know the content of the event(s) and that the delegate(s) you send is/are suitable. By booking a course (or booking a delegate onto a course), where a course information sheet specifies prior experience or knowledge, you are certifying that the delegate(s) has/have the relevant knowledge or experience. Delegates who fall short of the specified prior experience may be asked to leave the course. You will still be charged for their place. 15. We will invoice you for training events about four weeks before the event is due to take place. (This will normally be by a PDF invoice sent with your confirmation or joining instructions.) Consultancy will be billed on a schedule that we agree with you when you accept our quotation for the consultancy. 16. Our payment terms are fourteen days from invoice date. Late payment will attract charges and interest in accordance with current legislation, and will lead to the removal of any discount. 17. If you make a booking within four weeks of the start date of the event or consultancy then you will always be charged at the full rate if you cancel your booking. 18. You may notify us of a change in person attending an event at any time up to the start of the course at no charge. Please make sure that your substitute delegate has the necessary knowledge or experience to be on the course and that they have undertaken any pre-course work that was supplied to the original delegate. 19. Whenever we refer to a time period, this includes the day on which you notify us of a change, cancellation or postponement and the day on which the course is due to run (with both dates included in the twenty-eight days). 20. Notifying us of a change of delegate, a cancellation or a postponement must always be by writing, fax or email. The relevant date is the date of RECEIPT not posting. Our fax number is 0845 805 4861, our address is ITS Training (UK) Ltd. Highfield House, Bishop Norton Road, Glentham, Lincolnshire, LN8 2EU and our email is bookings@its-training-uk.com. 21. All material that we deliver is regularly checked for accuracy, however the nature of the material is such that what we deliver is our interpretation of the current law and procedures and no responsibility can be taken for any such interpretation. 22. All material is copyright and must not be copied without prior permission in writing. 23. By booking a place, an event or consultancy, you are agreeing to these terms and conditions. 24. a) For some of our events, we use associate trainers – specialists who we employ on a contract basis. Most of our events are run by permanent ITS staff. You must not attempt to make bookings direct with our trainers – they have all undertaken not to accept such approaches and they would be in breach of their terms of employment. b) You expressly agree to make no approaches to our trainers, as set out in clause (a) above. You agree that, if you are found to have directly employed any trainer supplied by us, you will pay us a fee equivalent to 75% of our normal day rate for each day that they run for you as an introduction fee. c) Under no circumstances may any of our materials be used by anyone other than one of our trainers (unless we have granted you a licence in writing to use specific materials). If you are found to have used any of our copyright materials, you agree to pay a copyright fee of ten times the current standard course price for up to ten uses. If you have used the material more than ten times, you will pay a fee of ten times the standard course price plus the standard course price for each use over ten. 25. Termination. In the event that either party to a contract under these terms and conditions becomes bankrupt or goes into receivership or liquidation this contract, together with any associated or subsidiary contracts or warranties, may be terminated by written notice as set out above. 26. Force Majure & Health and Safety. We have an overriding duty of care to the health and safety of our employees and delegates. If, in our view, the premises that you provide for a training course fall so far short of the acceptable standard so as to place at risk the trainer or any of the delegates, we will advise you immediately. If you are unable to rectify the problems or provide suitable alternative accommodation, we will not deliver the service. In any event you will remain liable for full payment. 27. These terms and conditions may change from time to time. The most up to date version will always be that on our website - www.its-training-uk.com. If you have any questions about these terms and conditions, please resolve them by emailing us before booking a place or a course. |
