7. Purchases: You are encouraged to familiarise Yourself with Your rights contained within the Sale of Goods Act 1979, Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999.
If You wish to purchase any product or service made available through the Website and/or the Company (a "Purchase"), You may be asked to supply certain information relevant to Your Purchase including, without limitation, Your credit card number, the expiration date of Your credit card, Your billing address, and Your shipping information.
In such circumstances, You represent and warrant that: (i) You have the legal right to use any applicable credit card(s) or other payment method(s) in connection with any such Purchase; and (ii) that the information You supply to us is true, correct and complete. You expressly agree that the Company, Caroline Britton and any other Coaches are not responsible for any loss or damage arising from the submission of false or inaccurate information.
By submitting such information, You grant the Company the right to provide the information to third parties for the purposes of facilitating the completion of any applicable Purchases.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel Your Purchase at any time for any reason including but not limited to: lack of Service availability, errors in the description or price of any Service or error in Your order. You expressly agree that the Company, Caroline Britton or any other Coaches cannot accept any liability for loss or damage arising out of such cancellation.
The Company reserves the right to refuse or cancel Your Purchase if any fraudulent activity or any other unauthorised or illegal activity is suspected in connection with the Purchase.
8. Pricing: It is possible that, before you complete the Purchase of a Service, the price of that Service may have increased from that posted on the Website at the time You decided to Purchase that Service. In the event that this should occur, the Company is not obligated to provide You with that Service until You have confirmed that You wish to Purchase that Service at the new price.
All Services are billed in GBP, and You agree to all fees or currency conversion rates You may incur from purchasing a Service from the Company.
You agree to pay any and all charge(s) in connection with the Purchase of any Services from any third party payment processor (such as, but not limited to, Stripe) and/or Your credit/debit card information for which You have supplied and authorised the Company to use.
Prices for the Services are subject to change without notice to You.
We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue any Service (or any part thereof) without notice to You at any time. Should we terminate the Service with you it is at the discretion of Company whether you are eligible or not for a refund. It is decided on a case by case basis and dependent upon the amount of monies collected at the time of the termination.
We shall not be liable to You or to any Third-Party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of any Service.
9. Payment Plans: Payment plans are available as an optional form of payment for certain Services. You are billed in advance according to the relevant specified payment due dates. You authorise the Company to arrange withdrawal of funds in the form of payment specified on Your account, at the intervals specified in the applicable payment plan agreement on the payment page of the Website at the time of the relevant Purchase (the “Payment Plan Schedule”).
If You have purchased a Service that is on a scheduled Payment Plan, You agree that You are obligated to pay for the Service in full according to the Payment Plan Schedule.
10. All Payments: You must ensure there are sufficient funds available with respect to Your designated form of payment (credit card, debit card, PayPal, cheque or other payment processor) in order to allow the payment to be processed when due. You agree to notify the Company promptly in writing if the nominated form of payment You provided is cancelled, suspended, or due to expire or otherwise ceases to be a means by which the Company is able to collect payments while payments remain outstanding. In this case, You must immediately nominate another valid form of payment or pay the outstanding balance as per this Agreement and/or Your designated Payment Plan.
11. Authorisation of Payment: With respect to a Purchase, by making Your initial payment and/or by ticking the box “Terms and Conditions” which refers to this Agreement, You authorise the Company to charge Your credit or debit card, cash Your cheque, or initiate payment via Stripe (or any other monetary collection agency) (as applicable) AND You agree that it is Your responsibility to set up a direct debit on 1st of each month should You have chosen a Payment Plan.
You represent to the Company that payment of the amount due to the Company with respect to any Purchase will not place a significant financial burden on You or Your family. You are responsible for payment of the entire amount due or the relevant instalment(s) due in accordance with any applicable Payment Plan (as applicable) before the applicable Service starts. This amount will be paid regardless of whether You attend all sessions, and regardless of whether You have selected to pay in one lump sum in accordance with a Payment Plan.
By ticking the box “Terms and Conditions” which refers to this Agreement, You agree that if, for any reason, You choose to cancel any part of a Service, You are obligated to pay or continue to pay whatever balance is due regardless of Your participation or lack thereof in the applicable Service. For the avoidance of doubt, no refunds will be issued by the Company (unless the Company agrees otherwise), and all scheduled payments must be paid on time and/or at the specified intervals in accordance with any applicable Payment Plan and/or this Agreement (see clause 13 Failure of Payment details below).
12. Refunds: Refunds are not offered by the Company, unless the Company agrees otherwise. You may email support@caroline-britton.com to discuss any extenuating circumstances that may result in the issuance of a voucher for future Services (noting that full payment of the original Service is required at the time of distribution of any such voucher for future Services). Vouchers are only offered at the discretion of the Company on a case-by-case basis.
Should the Company owe You a refund, it shall be credited to Your form of payment on file as soon as reasonably possible, but no later than 30 business days.
13. Failure of Payment: Should You be in arrears with respect to payment of any Service, the Company has the right to revoke all access to Your Account including (but not limited to) any access to past, current, or future Services
Full payment of overdue payments does not guarantee You access to any Services and Your Account will only be reinstated upon the approval and at the discretion of the Company. By ticking the box “Terms and Conditions” which refers to this Agreement, You are stating You understand and agree to these terms.
There is a 30 day grace period for failure of payment of any Service. Failure of payment beyond the 30 day grace period, and/or any lack of communication regarding outstanding payments, and/or failure to mutually agree a new Payment Plan with the Company by the end of the 30 day grace period, may result in a late fee charge of either a) £75 per month for each month You have failed to pay for the relevant Service or b) 2.00% of the outstanding balance of the relevant Service (whichever is greater) for the extra time and effort the Company needs to spend to recover the outstanding monies.
The Company will send one courtesy email to Your email address on file (or the email address You used to purchase any Services), in order to help facilitate rectifying any outstanding payment issues during the 30 day grace period. Any and all communication after this is Your responsibility. It is not Company’s responsibility to rectify any outstanding payment issues. You are responsible for any expired card information, insufficient funds and any other payment discrepancies.
Should there be an attempt to purchase a new Service at any time when a payment of an existing Service remains outstanding, access to that new Service will be denied and any payment made towards the new Service will be applied towards the outstanding balance of the existing Service by reference to the oldest outstanding invoice date before the residual balance (if any) is applied to the purchase of the new Service.
14. Foreign Taxes, Duties and Import Restrictions: If You are not residing in the United Kingdom, the Company has no knowledge of, and no responsibility for, the laws in Your country. You are responsible for purchasing Services which You are lawfully entitled to import and use and for the payment of import duties and taxes of any kind levied in Your country.
15. Termination for Unprofessionalism: The Company is committed to attempting to provide You with a positive, nourishing, healing, and productive experience yet recognises this is contingent upon an individual's subjective view/perspective. Therefore, all outcomes with respect to Your Coaching Relationship are Your responsibility and obligation.
By ticking the box “Terms and Conditions” which refers to this Agreement, You agree the Company, at its sole discretion, may limit, suspend, or terminate Your right to participate in any Services without refund or forgiveness of any remaining monthly payments if You become disruptive or difficult to work with, and/or fail to follow guidelines, expectations, or rules with respect to any Services.
16. Cancellation: The Company has a 48-hour cancellation policy with respect to any one-to-one sessions for a Service (“One-to-One Sessions”), which means You may cancel or reschedule a One-to-One Session, but You MUST notify the Company no later than 48 hours prior to the relevant scheduled One-to-One Session. If You missYour scheduled One-to-One Session, or You are late for such a session, the Company will attempt, in good faith, to reschedule the missed session (or the missed portion thereof). If the session cannot be rescheduled to the convenience of the Company, that One-to-One Session will be forfeited, and no refund will be given.
You also understand that any/all Services that You purchase (including any associated benefits) shall expire at the end of the applicable Service and will not be carried-over. You agree that the Services you purchase (and any associated benefits) shall be used during the applicable Service (or otherwise shall be forfeited without refund).
