Booking terms and conditions

• By making a booking either online or offline, you are liable for the fees set out within it. We cannot provisionally hold or reserve places via either booking type. If you would like to discuss this or book a private event for more than 8 people, please don’t hesitate to contact me at info@thewatchscholar.com. 
  
• In the event of late booking arrangements, Adrian Hailwood at The Watch Scholar may change this schedule to suit practical arrangements.  Please contact me for more information at info@thewatchscholar.com.

Amendments and transfers

• Courses are priced based on attendance and other associated costs and may need to meet minimum delegate numbers to be viable and to ensure that the facilities are available in order to deliver the courses to the high standards expected.
• Adrian Hailwood at The Watch Scholar reserves the right to re-arrange and to cancel part or all of a training course but will endeavour to inform you as soon as possible in any such instance.
• In these rare cases, you will be offered a place on the same course on another date or venue, in line with our transfers and amendments policy noted above. If this is not convenient or possible for you, a full refund will be given.
• Should you wish to change your course booking please notify me as soon as possible, and I will endeavour to re-arrange your booking to a more convenient course at a suitable date, subject to the cancellation terms set out below.
• For all transfers and changes you will be charged according to the original booking price and subject to the original and agreed payment terms and no partial or full refund will be payable.

Cancellation

Where cancellation rather than amendment is requested by you, the following fees and charges apply:

• Full payment must be made prior to a course commencing to reserve your place.
• The course fee will be refundable if written notice of cancellation is received at any time 6 weeks prior to the course start date, less a 10% administration charge.
• If you cancel within 6 weeks from the course start date you will be responsible for payment of the full fees. However, you are welcome to send another person in your place.

Non-attendance

Non-Attendance of any course for any reason whatsoever is deemed to be a cancellation with no notice and payment is therefore due in full.

Exceptions

Under no circumstances will compensation be payable or shall Adrian Hailwood at The Watch Scholar be liable for additional costs, loss or penalties incurred by you as a result of changes and cancellation of training arrangements and bookings.

Payment terms

Standard payment terms are as follows, although we reserve the right to discuss alternative payment terms as required.

• Your course is not a confirmed booking until you have paid in full.
• Payment is due strictly 5 days from date of issue of an invoice unless alternative terms are agreed in writing, in advance.

• Due to our continued growth we are now obliged to become VAT registered. This means we will be adding VAT at the prevailing rate to all invoices from January 2025.
