Fees and payment

In consideration of us providing the Courses you must pay our fees in accordance with this clause 9.
The fees are those quoted on our website at the time you submit your booking.
If you wish to change the Course after we accept your booking, and we agree to such change, we will modify the fees accordingly (if applicable).
We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices stated for the Courses are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto our website. However, please see clause 9.7 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Courses you booked.
Our fees may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any booking you have already placed.
Our fees are exclusive of VAT. Where VAT (or other local tax) is payable in respect of some or all of the Courses you must pay us such additional amounts in respect of the tax, at the applicable rate, at the same time as you pay the fees.
It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Courses on our website may be incorrectly priced. Where the correct price for the Courses is less than the price stated on our website, we will charge the lower amount and if the correct price for the Courses is higher than the price stated on our website, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Courses at the correct price or cancelling your booking. We will not process your booking until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the booking process, we will treat the booking as cancelled and notify you in writing. However, if we mistakenly accept and process your booking where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may cancel supply of the Courses and refund you any sums you have paid.

How to pay

Payment for the Courses is in advance. You must pay a deposit when booking in advance which varies between £50.00 and £200.00, and will be disclosed to you at the time of booking. The remaining balance is to be paid 3 weeks before the start of the Course. Bookings made within 3 weeks of a Course start date will have to be paid in full at the time of booking.
You can only pay for products using PayPal, a debit card or credit card. We accept the following cards: Visa Electron, Visa, Maestro, Forbrugsforeningen, Dankort, MasterCard, Amex, DinersClub, Discover, UnionPay, JCB.
If you fail to make a payment under the Contract by the due date, then, without limiting our remedies under clause 15 (Termination), you will have to pay interest on the overdue sum from the due date until payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment. Interest under this clause 10.3 will accrue each day at 4% a year above the Bank of England's base rate from time to time, but at 4% a year for any period when that base rate is below 0%.
We shall each pay all amounts due under the Contract in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
If you think an invoice or our Fees are wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.
