No other terms and conditions shall be accepted unless otherwise agreed by Direct Sales Training Centre in writing,

3. Training Courses
The contents of the Course Outlines and the duration and timings stated are intended for general guidance only and do not form any part of a contract. Direct Sales Training Centre reserves the right to make any reasonable changes to public scheduled courses and private courses, including the content, timing and location of the courses, without notice.

The indication of course availability and location shown on the Direct Sales Training Centre website is for guidance only and does not form any part of a contract. Please contact Direct Sales Training Centre before making any travel or accommodation arrangements as Direct Sales Training Centre will not be liable for any such expenses that you may incur.

It is the responsibility of the person booking the course to ensure that the course content meets their/their delegates requirements and that the delegates meet the prerequisites of the course on which they are booked.

Training will be in the form of a one-off training course for any number of attendees delivered at a place and time agreed between the customer and the company. This will be based on information supplied by the customer by promotional literature, company website, company brochures and other appropriate means. The company will accept no responsibility for any consequences should any incorrect content be provided as a result of errors in any such information.

Duration: Unless otherwise agreed by the customer and the company and stated in the contract, training shall be of the specified duration and will be between 10am and 3pm. Training days will be between Monday and Thursday. If for any reason the company is unable to deliver on the specified day, we will re-book within 30 days otherwise we will refund only the money already paid. The company will not be liable for any losses or expenses incurred in the event of a delay or cancellation.

4. VAT
Prices quoted are exclusive of Value Added Tax; this will be charged at the appropriate rate.

5. Terms of Payment
Booking: All courses are bespoke and must be booked at least ten working days before delivery in order to allow training consultants to familiarise themselves with and prepare the course content.
Payment: All courses should be paid for over a period of not more than 12 months, by monthly standing order. No course can be delivered until the first payment is received as cleared funds by the company. Invoices will be issued on a monthly basis for allocation against payments. Receipt of second monthly payment shall be deemed to be acceptance of satisfactory course content. A missed payment thereafter will cause the full outstanding balance to be due immediately.

6. Cancellation, Transfers and Substitutions with respect to Training Courses
Direct Sales Training Centre reserves the right to cancel or arrange an alternative date for any course. Where this does occur, Direct Sales Training Centre will endeavour to provide as much notice of cancellation or change to the Client as possible. In the event of cancellation, the Client will be entitled to a full refund of the course fee, but Direct Sales Training Centre shall not be liable for any other loss or expense arising.

The Client may cancel the course booking by notifying Direct Sales Training Centre in writing by acknowledged email, or by recorded delivery, as soon as reasonably practicable. If a delegate does not attend the training the Client shall be deemed to have cancelled the course booking. The Client shall be liable to pay a cancellation fee as follows:

Public Scheduled or Private Courses:
Number of Days Notice:
0-2 Working Days: 100% of course fee payable
3-7 Working Day: 50% of course fee payable

Please note that any bank fees incurred by Direct Sales Training Centre in processing any payment will not be refunded. We also reserve the right to charge a £10 administration fee.

In the event that a delegate is unable to attend the course booked, Direct Sales Training Centre will endeavour to transfer the delegate to an alternative course. If this is requested 8 or more Working Days from the start date of the booked course, then no charge will apply. If a transfer is requested 7 or fewer Working Days prior to the course commencement date, then the cancellation fees above will be payable.

Direct Sales Training Centre will allow the Client to substitute one delegate for another. In the event of a substitution, there will be no charge to the Client.

7. Credit Rating
Direct Sales Training Centre normally requires payment 7 days prior to commencement of a course. Where prior payment is not possible Direct Sales Training Centre reserves the right to assess the financial records of any organisation or individual making a booking to determine their credit status. Direct Sales Training Centre reserves the right to refuse a booking if the credit status is deemed by Direct Sales Training Centre to represent too high a risk.
