Safety Nation reserves the right to cancel a course at any time without liability. In these circumstances, delegates will be offered an alternative date. Safety Nation Limited is not liable for any expenses incurred. Safety Nation Limited will not compensate for time spent travelling or away from the office.
5) Termination
We may terminate the provision of any part of the services or restrict your access to services without any prior notice to you where (by way of example and without limitation):
a. there is a regulatory or statutory change limiting our ability to provide the services;
b. any event beyond our reasonable control prevents us from continuing to provide the services (for example and without limitation, technical difficulties, capacity problems and communication failures). In this respect, should the service be unavailable for more than one working day our performance under this agreement is deemed to be suspended for the period that the event in question continues, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period. We will use our reasonable endeavours to bring the event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under this agreement may be performed despite the event in question;
c. we consider in our reasonable discretion that you are abusing the services provided by us or acting in any way which deliberately jeopardises the service or you are otherwise acting in breach of these terms and conditions and we have notified you of the abuse or breach.
6) Payments
Payments are subject to our payment schedule.
The contract formed – receipt of the purchase order number.
50% non-refundable booking fee – receipt of invoice
50% remainder or full payment if booking made within one month of training – 1 month prior to training
By exception only, Safety Nation has the discretion (for in-house training only) to alter these depending on the client’s payment criteria.
Important: Your training program, and the work necessary to complete your training, begins as soon as a date is held for you. This means that your trainer is reserved exclusively for you – no other client can book. Additionally, we prepare joining instructions including access to pre-learning, printed materials plus any accommodation. These are non-recoverable costs and guide our terms and payment schedule.
Failure to receive the course fees in adherence with these terms means that Safety Nation reserves the right to refuse access to the Course. Furthermore, having formed a contract, failure to receive course fees will still incur a financial liability for the client according to the cancellation terms and periods.
Bookings made within 10 working days of the course delivery date may only be paid via bank transfer, not invoice. Safety Nation reserves the right to make exceptions to this rule by prior agreement.
In the event of late payment, Safety Nation reserves the right to charge interest on all outstanding amounts at the rate of 5% above the Bank of England’s base rate plus £100 per calendar month or part thereof from the last date that payment was due to the date that payment is made.
You acknowledge and agree that you will not be entitled to bring any claims or legal proceedings in respect of any refund or other repayment of funds howsoever arising.
7) Prices
The prices quoted on this site and in our brochures are correct at the date of publication (that is the earliest course date published within a brochure) and for 30 days thereafter. Safety Nation reserves the right to adjust these prices in order to meet their true cost outside this period.
8) Services updates
We reserve the right to amend, substitute, modify and improve the content and format of any service (in whole or part) or to substitute and modify the service required from time to time to form a Course in the light of either changes to qualifications made by the appropriate certifying bodies or our industry experience or ongoing improvements in its service to you. Such changes shall be made unilaterally and without your prior consent and may be reflected in the services.
9) Equipment
For public courses, any internet-based content will be provided by the facilitator for the group as a whole. If you wish to use a tablet or other device to access online content and materials during a classroom-based course you must have the agreement of the facilitator and their decision is at their discretion. For online and eLearning courses, it is your responsibility to ensure that the equipment you use meets the minimum recommendations as shown on the website.
We are not responsible for any technical or other issues that may arise if you download software from an external third-party website or upgrade your browser software to enhance your usage of the service.
You agree to provide us with an up-to-date email address throughout your period of study with us.
10) Web services
We reserve the right to suspend or disconnect any web-related services without prior notice where it is necessary for maintenance and/or upgrades. We will endeavour to resume service with minimum delay.
