Terms and Conditions for Seminars, Courses and Workshops

These terms and conditions apply to all our services linked to the provision of seminars, courses and workshops (each a "Seminar") and shall be deemed to have been accepted when a booking is made for a Tortue Rouge Seminar.

The contract between us

Bookings for Seminars shall be sent to us in writing. If a particular Seminar is already booked up, you will be informed and provided with any alternative available dates. Our written confirmation of a booking brings into existence a legally binding contract between us.

Prices and payment

The prices payable for Seminars are as set out in our website from time to time.

Seminar prices are net prices per participant before VAT (if appropriate). Failure to attend Seminars shall not entitle you to a reduction of the Seminar price. The Seminar price will be invoiced after a booking has been confirmed and must be paid in pounds sterling prior to the commencement of the Seminar. We will not confirm a booking until we have received payment of 15% of the Seminar price.

Cancellation of Seminars

We retain the right to change the content, documentation and duration of Seminars and the venue for Seminars. You may only cancel a confirmed booking by giving written notice to us. If you cancel your booking, we will charge the following cancellation fees:

Time of cancellation                                        Charge as % of Seminar price

More than 8 weeks                                                           15%

Between 4 and 8 weeks                                                    65%

Less than 4 weeks                                                            100%

We retain the right to cancel or postpone a Seminar up to 14 days before the date thereof for technical or economic reasons. You shall be notified immediately and offered, at our discretion, an alternative date/venue or a full refund. All additional claims are excluded.

Permission is required prior to the use of any recording or photographic equipment. We will on occasion photograph or record training sessions and use images and media obtained for future advertising or promotion. Permission will be sought from Seminar attendees prior to the use of any recording medium. No royalty or other fee will be paid to Seminar attendees and agreement to the recording of images will be taken as acceptance of this condition.

Third party rights

Except for our affiliates, directors, employees or representatives, a person who is not a party to an agreement to which these terms and conditions apply has no right under the UK Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of such agreement but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party that exists or is available apart from that Act.
