This might be because the Product is out of stock, because the workshop you have chosen has reached maximum capacity, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because a credit reference we have obtained for you does not meet our minimum requirements, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the Product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

We will pay the costs of return:
(a) for orders placed in and delivered to an address in the UK you must contact us to request a “return slip” (for postage purposes):
(i) if the Products are faulty or misdescribed;
(ii) if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the Product or these terms, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong; or in all other circumstances (including where you are exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return.

We will refund you the price you paid for the Products by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below. Refunds cannot be made until you receive the goods and in turn those goods are returned to (and received by) us.

9.5 Deductions from refunds.

If you are exercising your right to change your mind:
(a) We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
(b) The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a Product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the Product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
(c) Where the Product is a service, we may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it was supplied, ending with the time when you told us you had changed your mind. The amount will be in proportion to what has been supplied, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.

9.6 When your refund will be made.

We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind then:
(a) If the Products are goods and we have not offered to collect them, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to us. For information about how to return a Product to us, see clause 9.2.
(b) In all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind.

9.7 Clause 9.6 (a) and (b) apply only to goods delivered and returned from an address based in the UK. For overseas orders, if the Products are goods, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the Product back from you.

10. Our rights to end the contract

10.1 We may end the contract if you break it.

We may end the contract for a Product at any time by writing to you if:
(a) you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within 7 days of us reminding you that payment is due;

12. Price and payment

12.1 Where to find the price for the Product.

The price of the Product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you place your order. We use our best efforts 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, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.

12.4 When you must pay and how you must pay.

We accept payment with Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Paypal and Klarna. When you must pay depends on what Product you are buying:
(a) For goods, you must pay for the Products before we dispatch them. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch the Products to you.
(b) For services, you must make full payment of the price of the services, before we start providing them.
(c) If you are a business booking a workshop, you must make full payment of the price of the services, in line with the issued invoice before we start providing them. Price per person is based on the group size and quoted individually. All prices quoted for corporate workshops exclude VAT. The price will be based on the confirmed number of participants at the time of order and will not be amended for any drop outs or non-attendees.

12.5 We can charge interest if you pay late.

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 2% a year above the base lending rate of Barclays Bank plc 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.

12.6 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong.

If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know and we will not charge you interest until we have resolved the issue.

16.5 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.

16.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Products in the courts of England and Wales.

If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Products in either the Northern Irish or the English and Welsh courts.

Applies to Workshops bookings, 1-2-1 bookings and vouchers for our experiences:

From December 2022 onwards and until further notice, the following additional terms and conditions are adapting to the current government guidelines and apply to all workshop bookings. 

We no longer accept positive Covid-19 tests as a reason for cancellation or to be rescheduled. Should you test positive and are unable to attend your workshop, you may send someone else of your choice to attend your workshop.

1.1 Bookings cancellation

(a) Group workshops. You have 14 days from the date of your order to cancel a workshop booking except where the order is made less than 14 days prior to a workshop taking place, in which event you have acknowledged that there is no right of cancellation.

We require 15 days cancellation notice prior to your scheduled group workshop (Apprentice or Expert Masterclass) to reschedule your session, otherwise you will be charged the full amount of the workshop.

(b) One-to-one sessions. A minimum of 3 days’ notice is required if you wish to reschedule a private appointment, otherwise you will be charged the full amount of the workshop.

(c) If you can not attend your workshop or visit us, you may send someone else in your place.

If you cannot attend the workshop you have booked due to these reasons, unfortunately we cannot offer reschedule or refund options.

Should we need to cancel a workshop due to circumstances outside of our reasonable control (i.e. lockdown enforcement), we will aim to give you as much notice as possible and seek to re-book to an alternative date. We do not offer refunds for any workshop bookings.

(e) In the event you can be rescheduled to a later date – by letting us know with more than 15 days notice – you will be given 6 months from your reschedule workshop to rebook your space.

Outside these validity periods, we will not offer extensions or further extensions regardless of new restrictions coming into place in 2021 and reserve the right to extend the valid period of a voucher at our discretion.
