6. OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES 

6.1  Minor changes to the Products. We may change the Product:

(a) to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;

(b) to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat. These changes will not affect your use of the Product;

(c) to make changes to start/end times of Events;

(e) to change the format of the course including changing all or part of the course to an online course rather than an in-person course where caused by a reason beyond our reasonable control;

(f) to change the date of a course where such change is caused by a reason beyond our reasonable control

(g) to change the venue of the course;

(h) to change the place of Accommodation; and

(i) to change the place of any site being visited as part of the Product (including visits to any specific company, organisation or tourist attraction).

6.2 As set out in our pre-contract material, our courses may be provided either in person or online. Circumstances beyond our reasonable control may require the substitution of in-person delivery with online performance. We may also make significant changes to the Products and these Terms. We may make significant changes to a Product including the venue or the date of an Event other than as permitted in 6.1 above, where reasonably necessary as a result of circumstances outside our reasonable control and in those circumstances where changes to the Products are made, we will notify you and you may then contact us to end the contract before the changes take effect and receive a credit for any services paid for but not received as at that date.

6.3 Updates to digital content. We may update or require you to update digital content, provided that the digital content shall always match in all material respects the description of it that we provided to you before you bought it.

7. PROVIDING THE PRODUCTS

7.1 The date of when Events, digital content and online courses will be available are as set out on the Website, save as varied in accordance with these Terms.

7.2 We are not responsible for delays or failures in providing Products or an Event taking place which result from matters outside our control. If our supply of the Products or an Event is delayed, hindered or prevented by an event outside our control, then we will contact you as soon as reasonably practicable to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the Event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to cancel the booking and obtain a 100% credit to use for a future booking, with the caveat that only one credit will be granted per purchase. This credit must be used within 12 months of the date it is given and any booking made with this credit will be subject to our standard terms and conditions of business in force as at that time.

7.3 We may need certain information from a student and/or a student's parent/guardian so that we can supply the Products to you, including but not limited to identification details and medical requirements. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information by the stipulated deadline or if no deadline is stipulated then within a reasonable timeframe, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract in accordance with Clause 10 or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the Products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need by the stipulated deadline or if no deadline is stipulated then within a reasonable timeframe.

7.4 Reasons we may suspend the supply of Products to you. We may have to suspend the supply of a Product to:
(a) deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;

(b) update the Product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;

(c) make changes to the Product as notified by us to you (see Clause 6.);

(d) deal with circumstances where you have not paid us for the Products;

(e) deal with circumstances which delay or hinder performance of the agreement between us and supply of the Product outside our reasonable control; or

(f) deal with circumstances where you have not supplied us with information as per clause 7.3 above.

7.5 Your rights if we suspend the supply of Products. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the Product, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. You may contact us to end the contract for a Product if we suspend it, or we will tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case where such suspension is for a period of more than 2 months and we will provide you with a 100% credit to use for a future booking, with the caveat that only one credit will be granted per purchase. This credit must be used within 12 months of the date it is given and any booking made with this credit will be subject to our standard terms and conditions of business in force as at that time.

7.6 Where we are entitled to suspend the supply of the Product and the circumstances of clause 7.4 apply and we have notified you at the time of booking that we may decide to provide all or part of the Product by way of realtime online streaming instead of live/in-person delivery, we will offer you the option to complete part or all of the Event, course or seminar in this realtime online format instead of in-person. We will notify you and you may then contact us to end the contract before delivery of the realtime online streaming and receive a credit for any services paid for but not received as at that date.

  1. YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

8.1 You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought and when you wish to end the contract.

(a) If what you have bought is misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to request a service to be re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 11;

(b) If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 8.2;

8.2 Subject to 8.3 and 8.4, if you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (d) to (e) in this clause 8.2 the contract will end immediately and we will refund you for any Products which have not been supplied. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) – (c) in this clause 8.2, then the contract will end and you will be entitled to a 100% credit to use for a future booking. Credits are only applicable for these purposes where the payment for the Product has been made in full; any deposit or part-payment will be forfeited entirely by you. The reasons for ending the contract are: 

(a)  we have told you about an upcoming major change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to (see Clause 6.2);

(b) there is a risk that supply of the Products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control and we notify you that such significant delay is unavoidable;

(c) we have suspended supply of the Products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 3 months but only for those Products that were to be provided exclusively online;

If we delivered the digital content to you immediately, and you agreed to this when ordering, you will not have a right to change your mind and to cancel the order.

8.4 You have no legal right to change your mind with regards to any courses or seminars (whether to be provided online or in person) that you book for specific dates. If however for any reason you cannot attend, provided you give us at least 30 days’ notice prior to the date of the Event, we will provide you with a 100% credit to use for a future booking, with the caveat that only one credit will be granted per purchase. This credit must be used within 12 months of the date it is given. Credits are only applicable for these purposes where the payment for the Product has been made in full; any deposit or part-payment will be forfeited entirely by you.

8.5 You have no legal right to change your mind with regards to the booking of any Accommodation or travel booked with us, and no credit will be provided to you in the event of a cancellation of any Place of Accommodation or travel at any time.

This clause will not prevent us from providing all or part of a Product which includes an in-person programme to an on-line programme.

11. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PRODUCT

11.1  How to tell us about problems. If you have any questions or complaints about the product, please contact us. You should email our customer service team at info@investin.org. You should also see the complaints procedure here. 

11.2 Summary of your legal rights. We are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with this contract. This means that (i) if your Product is digital content, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says digital content must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality; and (ii) if your Product is services, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says it must be carried out with reasonable care and skill. Nothing in these Terms will affect your legal rights.

  1. PRICE AND PAYMENT

12.1 The price of the Product (which includes VAT where applicable) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the Product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 12.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Product you order.

12.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the Product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

12.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the Product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the Product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may still end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and have no further legal obligation to you.

12.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. All Products must be paid for at the time of submitting your order. The methods of payment are as stated on our Website.

12.5 If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of Barclays Bank from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

  1. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU

13.1 Subject to the remainder of this clause 13, if we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.

13.2 Accommodation Bookings: where you have booked Accommodation as part of your booking, subject to the remainder of this clause 13, we have a duty to select the accommodation suppliers with reasonable skill and care. We have no liability to you for the actual provision of the accommodation, except in cases where it is proved that we have breached that duty and damage to you has been caused. Therefore, providing we have selected the suppliers/subcontractors with reasonable skill and care, we will have no liability to you for anything that happens during the provision of the accommodation or any acts or omissions of the supplier, its employees or agents.

13.3 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Products. In any other event and subject to any grounds under which it would be unlawful to exclude liability, our liability to you will be limited to the value of the Product you paid for or £1,000, whichever is the higher.

13.4 If defective digital content which we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage which you could have avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage which was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us.

13.5 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the Products to individuals for domestic and private use. If you use the Products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

13.6 We will not accept responsibility for services or facilities which do not form part of our agreement or where they are not advertised on our Website. For example, any service or facility which your hotel or any other supplier agrees to provide for you.

  1. HOW WE MAY USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

14.1 We will use the personal information you provide to us as more particularly set out in our privacy policy:

(a)  to supply the products to you;

(b)  to process your payment for the products; and

(c)  if you agreed to this during the order process, to give you information about similar products that we provide, but you may stop receiving this at any time by contacting us.

  1. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

15.1    Special offers and discounts.  Any special offers or discounts on the website can be withdrawn at any time, without notice.  Discounts for group bookings can only be given when all those being booked are attending the same Event.

15.2    We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will contact you to let you know if we plan to do this. If you are unhappy with the transfer, you may contact us to end the contract within 10 days of us telling you about it and we will refund you any payments you have made in advance for products not provided.

15.3  You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.  For the avoidance of doubt, this also means that any courses or seminars booked can only be attended by the person named on the booking.

15.4  This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.

15.5  If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

15.6  Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

15.7  These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts.

15.8  Alternative dispute resolution. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to contact an ADR provider however, as we are not members of an ADR, we shall, at our sole discretion, have the right as to whether to accept or reject your nominated ADR. In addition, please note that disputes may be submitted for online resolution to the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform.

15.9 Events Beyond Our Control: Except where otherwise expressly stated in these Terms, we exclude our liability to you as well as having to pay you compensation if our contractual obligations to you are affected by events beyond our control. We will however provide you with the right to terminate the contract where events beyond our control occur as set out in these Terms. This means any event beyond our or our supplier’s control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if reasonable measures had been taken. Examples include warfare and acts of terrorism (and threat thereof), civil strife, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions, the act of any government or other national or local authority including port or river authorities, industrial dispute, labour strikes, lock closure, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, chemical or biological disaster, unavoidable technical problems with transport and all similar events outside our or supplier(s)’s control.

15.10 Brexit Implications: please note that certain travel arrangements may be affected as a result of the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union. This could include an unavailability of certain flight routes, access to certain ports and airports and changes to the visa requirements of British citizens travelling to, within or through the EU. Please rest assured that this is something we will continue to monitor and will advise our customers as soon as possible if we become aware of any confirmed bookings that will be affected. However, since this is something which is completely unprecedented and outside our control, we would treat any such changes as an Event Beyond Our Control in accordance with clause 15.9, and whilst we will endeavour to provide suitable alternative arrangements or refunds where possible, we will not be liable to pay you any compensation.
