Terms & Conditions

 

Acceptance of StayAhead Training Limited Terms and Conditions is confirmed by the Purchaser providing one of the following:

a) An authorised signature or an authorised Purchase Order Number on a StayAhead Booking Form

b) An official company Purchase Order number

c) Payment for Provision of Service

The Purchaser contracts with StayAhead Training Limited (therein after called “StayAhead”) on its own behalf and on behalf of persons (delegates) who are enrolled by the Purchaser on StayAhead courses including courses on StayAhead provided premises or on Purchaser provided premises.

These terms and conditions supersede and replace any previous agreements, proposals or representations made between the Purchaser and StayAhead for the provision of Scheduled Courses and Closed Company Courses. These terms and conditions shall prevail notwithstanding any terms and conditions contained in any order submitted by the Purchaser. Any variation must be agreed in writing by StayAhead. The Waiver by StayAhead of any breach of any term of this Agreement shall not prevent the Subsequent enforcement of that term and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach.

CANCELLATION, TRANSFER AND SUBSTITUTION

The Purchaser agrees to pay the following charges to StayAhead in the Event that for whatever reason a Delegate fails to attend, withdraws or transfers from a course without providing at least, twenty (20) days excluding weekends, written notice prior to the schedule start of the course. In this respect, a cancellation fee refers to a specific course date and therefore a transfer to a later course counts as a cancellation.

(a) Written Notice of Cancellation or Transfer – Public Scheduled Courses and Public Scheduled Course booked as part of a Prepaid Training Licence or Course Passport.

11-20 days excluding weekends: 50% of course fee

0-10 days excluding weekends: 100% of course fee

(b) Written Notice of Cancellation or Transfer – Closed Company Courses

0-30 days excluding weekends: 100% of course fee

Substitute delegates will be accepted free of charge. If course documentation (Joining Instructions, etc.) has already been sent to the Purchaser it is the responsibility of the Purchaser to ensure that the replacement delegate receives this documentation. In addition to the course fee, where a confirmed Closed Company Course booking is cancelled or transferred, additional costs (flights, hotels, course development, etc.) incurred by StayAhead will be charged, irrespective of when the course is cancelled/transferred.

FEES / PAYMENT TERMS

(a) Public Scheduled Courses

Unless otherwise stipulated by StayAhead, fees for all Public Scheduled Courses are payable by the Purchaser twenty (20) days excluding weekends prior to course commencement, or are payable at time of order where this is less than twenty (20) days excluding weekends before course commencement. Where payment is due before the commencement of the course, if we do not receive payment we reserve the right to cancel the course booking.

(b) Closed Company Courses

Unless otherwise stipulated by StayAhead, fees for Closed Company Courses are payable within thirty (30) days excluding weekends from date of invoice, or are payable at time at time of order where this is less than thirty (30) days excluding weekends before course commencement.

Any unused balance remaining at the end of this period will expire.
