  1. Providing the Services

6.1 As required by law, We will provide the Services with reasonable skill and care, consistent with reasonable practices and standards in the personal development and wellbeing industry and in accordance with any information provided by Us about the Services and about Us.

6.2 We will begin providing the Services on the date specified in your Booking (and confirmed in Our Booking Confirmation).

6.3 We will continue providing the Services for the period set out in the Services Materials.

6.4 We will make every reasonable effort to complete the Services on time (and in accordance with your Booking). We cannot, however, be held responsible for any delays if an event outside of Our control occurs. See Clause 10 for events outside of Our control.

6.5 If We require any information or action from you in order to provide the Services, We will inform you of this as soon as is reasonably possible.

6.6 If the information or action required of you under sub-Clause 6.5 is delayed incomplete or otherwise incorrect, We will not be responsible for any delay caused as a result. If additional work is required from Us to correct or compensate for a mistake made as a result of incomplete or otherwise incorrect information or action on your part, We may charge you a reasonable additional sum for that work.

6.7 In certain circumstances, for example where there is a delay in you sending Us information or taking action required under sub-Clause 6.5, We may suspend the Services (and will inform you of that suspension in writing).

6.8 In certain circumstances, for example where We encounter a technical problem, We may need to suspend the Services in order to resolve the issue.  Unless the issue is an emergency and requires immediate attention We will inform you in advance in writing before suspending the Services.

6.9 If the Services are suspended under sub-Clauses 6.7 or 6.8, you will not be required to pay for them during the period of suspension. You must, however, pay any invoices that you have already received from Us by their due date(s).

6.10 If you do not pay Us for the Services as required by Clause 5, We may suspend the Services until you have paid all outstanding sums due. If this happens, We will inform you in writing. This does not affect Our right to charge you interest under sub-Clause 5.8.

  1. Problems with the Services and Your Legal Rights

7.1 We always use reasonable efforts to ensure that Our provision of the Services is trouble-free. If, however, there is a problem with the Services We request that you inform Us as soon as is reasonably possible in writing.

7.2 We will use reasonable efforts to remedy problems with the Services as quickly as is reasonably possible and practical.

7.3 We will not charge you for remedying problems under this Clause 7 where the problems have been caused by Us, any of our agents or sub-contractors or where nobody is at fault. If We determine that a problem has been caused by incorrect or incomplete information or action provided or taken by you, sub-Clause 6.6 will apply and We may charge you for remedial work.

7.4 As a consumer, you have certain legal rights with respect to the purchase of services. For full details of your legal rights and guidance on exercising them, it is recommended that you contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau or Trading Standards Office. If We do not perform the Services with reasonable skill and care, you have the right to request repeat performance or, if that is not possible or done within a reasonable time without inconvenience to you, you have the right to a reduction in price. If the Services are not performed in line with information that We have provided about them, you also have the right to request repeat performance or, if that is not possible or done within a reasonable time without inconvenience to you (or if Our breach concerns information about Us that does not relate to the performance of the Services), you have the right to a reduction in price. If for any reason We are required to repeat the Services in accordance with your legal rights, We will not charge you for the same and We will bear any and all costs of such repeat performance. In cases where a price reduction applies, this may be any sum up to the full Price and, where you have already made payment(s) to Us, may result in a full or partial refund. Any such refunds will be issued without undue delay (and in any event within 14 calendar days starting on the date on which We agree that you are entitled to the refund) and made via the same payment method originally used by you unless you request an alternative method. In addition to your legal rights relating directly to the Services, You also have remedies if We use materials that are incorrectly described.

7.5 As a consumer you have certain legal rights with respect to digital content.  If any work produced for you under these Terms and Conditions is supplied as digital content, these rights may apply to you. For full details of your legal rights and guidance on exercising them, it is recommended that you contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau or Trading Standards Office. Any digital content that We supply to you must be of satisfactory quality, it must be fit for purpose (where any such purpose has been made known to Us whether expressly or by implication), and it must match any description given by Us.  Due to the nature of digital content you are unable to reject digital content which does not comply with the above; however you may have the right to a repair or replacement or, if these are not possible, to a price reduction up to the full Price.  In cases where a price reduction applies and you have already made payment(s) to Us, you may be due a full or partial refund. Any such refunds will be issued without undue delay (and in any event within 14 Calendar Days starting on the date on which We agree that you are entitled to the refund) and made via the same payment method originally used by you unless you request an alternative method. If digital content provided by Us under these Terms and Conditions damages your device(s) as a result of Our failure to exercise reasonable skill and care, you also have the legal right to compensation for such damage which may take the form of a repair or replacement, or financial compensation.

  1. Intellectual Property Rights

8.1 During the course of providing the Services to you, We may create or produce Materials for you which embody/embodies certain Intellectual Property Rights (such as copyright or trademarks).

8.2 We will retain ownership of any and all Intellectual Property Rights that may exist in the Materials. We will grant to you a royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Materials for personal use only. The licence granted under this sub-Clause 8.2 will continue for a period to be defined in Our Booking Confirmation. The duration of the licence will not necessarily be related to the duration of the Services themselves and may continue beyond the duration of the Services.

8.3 If the Contract is cancelled under Clause 11, the licence granted under sub-Clause 8.2 may also be cancelled in full or in part and you will no longer be permitted to use all or part of the Materials. Upon cancellation We will explain to you exactly which part(s) of the Materials (if any) that you will remain entitled to use.

8.4 If any documents, forms, contracts or other formalities are required to enable Us to grant the licence to you under sub-Clause 8.2, We will ensure that any and all such documents, forms, contracts or other formalities are executed, performed and complied with.

  1. Our Liability

9.1 Our liability to you in respect of any foreseeable loss or damage that you may suffer as a result of Our breach of these Terms and Conditions or as a result of Our negligence (including that of Our agents or sub-contractors) is limited. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is an obvious consequence of the breach or negligence or if it is contemplated by you and Us when the Contract is created.
