Placing an order and pricing
1 After you apply to book a place on a course we will send you an e-mail acknowledging we have received your application. This does not mean we have accepted your application. Your application is an offer to us to book a place on a course. All applications are subject to acceptance by us. If we accept your application we will confirm acceptance by sending you an acceptance e-mail. A contract between us will only be formed when we send you that acceptance e-mail. Our website sets out further details on the specific requirements for each course and acceptance is subject to compliance with those specific requirements.
2 If you do not receive an acceptance e-mail within 28 days of applying to book a place on a course (or, if sooner, within 5 days of the course starting) please call the Booking Department on +44 161 222 1036 to confirm whether your application has been accepted.
3 By applying to book a place on a course you confirm that: (a) you are legally capable of entering binding contracts; (b) you are at least 18 years old; (c) your application is in a private capacity for an individual participant with whom you have a personal relationship and you are not applying for places on courses which you intend to resell in the course of a trade or business.
4 The price of courses and any additional fees we charge (but not any fees charged by third parties which you may incur in attending courses) will be as stated on our website from time to time, unless there is an obvious error. These prices and additional fees may change at any time, but any change will not affect any application for which we have sent an acceptance e-mail. You are responsible for arranging and paying for the participant’s return travel to the course venue.
5 Prices include VAT. If the rate of VAT changes before you make any payment due to us we may adjust the VAT you pay.
6 All applications must be accompanied by payment in full of the appropriate course fee.
Cancellation and refunds
7 To cancel an accepted booking, you must inform us in writing.
8 You may cancel your booking without any charge within 7 working days of us accepting your booking provided the course has not already started.
9 Unless condition 8 applies, no refund can be given for cancellations received for residential courses, less than 6 weeks prior to the date of the relevant course.
10 For cancellations made in accordance with condition 9 a full refund is available subject to, in the case of residential courses, a £25 administrative charge. Please note that a booking can be transferred to another eligible person without charge.
11 All courses, activities, venues and travel arrangements are subject to change according to weather, venue availability, a satisfactory number of participants, and other factors beyond our control. As such, we may cancel or change any courses, should this be necessary for these reasons. If we do have to cancel a course we will offer an alternative course (if available and suitable) or a full refund.
12 You are responsible for arranging and paying for suitable insurance to cover any injury or illness to the participant as, unfortunately, we cannot provide a refund under these circumstances.
13 For the avoidance of doubt, no refund is permitted for participant’s failure to attend the course or if the participant is unable to obtain any necessary travel visas.
14 In all cases where we make any refund we will process the refund as soon as possible and always within 30 days of notice of cancellation (for cancellation under paragraphs 8, 9 and 11). We will usually issue a refund using the same method you used to pay.
Fitness
15 You must ensure that the participant is physically fit and able to participate in the sporting activities. If you need any further information on the physical fitness required of participants or have any doubt that a participant is sufficiently physically fit to attend a course please contact us before applying for a place on a course. We will not issue a refund because a participant is not sufficiently physically fit to participate in any part of a course.
16 We may require additional information depending on the medical information supplied to us by you when you apply for a place on a course before we can accept your booking.
17 In the event that the participant needs medical attention during any course you agree to us arranging for any appropriate and necessary treatment.
Liability
18 You are responsible for arranging and paying for travel and personal possessions insurance for our residential courses.
19 Neither you nor we shall be liable to the other for any loss or damage the other suffers as a result of a breach of these terms and conditions, unless that loss or damage was reasonably foreseeable at the time of agreement of these terms and conditions.

21 Nothing in this agreement excludes or limits in any way our liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; or (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any other matter for which it would be illegal or unlawful for us to exclude or limit or attempt to exclude or limit our liability.
22 The cost of any damage caused by you or any participant you have booked on a course to any property or facilities will be passed on to you and you will be liable to pay it.

24 Any prizes offered are non-transferable and there is no cash alternative. We reserve the right to substitute prizes of equal or greater value at any time.
25 All Skills Competition finalists must be accompanied by one adult and will be responsible for all additional costs and expenses associated with attending the final and organising their own travel.
Removal of participants from courses
26 Participants on courses must comply with the Course Regulations, all rules and regulations that apply at any location where courses are provided, and all instructions of course leaders and other staff at any location where courses are provided.

Waiver
38 If we fail to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled, this will not be a waiver of such rights or remedies and will not relieve you from compliance with such obligations. A waiver by us of any breach by you will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach. No waiver by us of any of these terms and conditions will be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in writing.
Severability
39 If any court or competent authority decides that any of these provisions are invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, the term will, to that extent, be severed from the remaining terms, which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
