TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These Terms and Conditions of Business relate to Recruitment Solutions Training Ltd.

DEFINITIONS In these conditions:

  • The “Provider” means Recruitment Solutions Training Limited, The Yard, Tan Lane, Exeter, EX2 8EG
  • The “Client” means the individual, group, firm, company, or organisation with whom the Provider contracts

Any agreement made between the Provider and the Client whether for the sale of goods or for work and materials or services hereinafter called the “Contract” shall only be subject to these terms and conditions.

Any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of the Provider prior to the Contract orally or in writing is hereby expressly excluded and shall be of no effect. No agent of the Provider has any authority to vary or add to these terms and conditions except with the Provider’s confirmation in writing signed by one of its directors and issued from its head office at The Yard, Tan Lane, Exeter, EX2 8EG.

A Provider’s quotation shall be deemed to have been withdrawn unless the Client accepts the quotation within 28 days of the date of issue. If the Provider enters a contract without the client having submitted a written quotation or a standard acknowledgement of order form but in circumstances when the buyer has had prior notice of these conditions, then all the goods and materials supplied, or work done, or services rendered shall be subject to these conditions.

SUITABILITY OF TRAINING The Provider will provide information to the Client relating to the training that it offers and will make endeavours to ensure that any training booked by the Provider is suitable for the candidate. Any information provided by the Provider will be accurate to the best of the Provider’s knowledge, however the Provider cannot guarantee the absolute accuracy of any information offered except that which relates to anything solely controlled by the Provider (e.g., pricing). As such, any information provided by the Provider on which a purchasing decision is or will be made should be verified by the Client with the relevant governing body or authority, where applicable, before a booking is made.

The Client is ultimately responsible for establishing the suitability of any training booked or undertaken. The Provider will accept no responsibility for any loss or damage, financial or otherwise, resulting from any training booked or undertaken that is not suitable for the candidate(s) or that does not result in the desired outcome within the expected timeframe. If it becomes apparent that any training that has been booked, but not yet undertaken, is not suitable for the candidate(s) attending the course, the terms relating to cancellation will apply (see “CANCELLATION AND POSTPONEMENT”, below).

The Provider may, at its absolute discretion, allow the Client to transfer some or all any monies paid as payment towards an alternative training course offered by the Provider.

Information of any kind contained in the Provider’s catalogues, price lists or other advertising literature is not guaranteed to be accurate and is intended merely to represent a general picture of the Provider’s products and services and shall not form part of any contract between the Provider and the Client. The Provider reserves the right to amend the specification of its products and services and the Client is advised to check the specification set out in the Provider’s quotation before placing their order.

BOOKING & CONFIRMATION

In respect of a business customer with an existing account, an enquiry from the client regarding training services will be treated as a confirmed booking when either of the following conditions apply.

  • The Client or any agent of the Client, whether with authorisation or otherwise, has expressly stated, either by written or verbal communication(s) that they wish for the Provider to provide training services.
  • The Client, or any agent of the Client, whether with authorisation or otherwise, has given the Provider reasonable grounds to believe that they wish for the Provider to provide training services as discussed. This may include, but is not limited to, agreeing to, expressly or otherwise, proposed course dates, course schedules or quotations. In respect of business customers without an account, or where the Client is a private individual, an enquiry will be treated as a confirmed booking when any of the following conditions apply:
    • The Client has paid a deposit relating to the course being booked.
    • The Client is a business customer and has completed a New Client Details form and satisfied either of the conditions that apply to business customers with an existing account.

CANCELLATION AND POSTPONEMENT

Cancellation and postponements must be advised in writing or email. No agent or servant of the Seller is authorised to accept verbally cancellation or postponement. Where such notice is given by email it is not deemed to have been received until it has been read by an agent or servant of the Provider. Office hours are typically 08:00-17:00 Monday to Friday.
Where notice of cancellation is received fourteen (14) days or less before the commencement of the course, the entire course fee is payable. Where a training course is booked within 72 hours of the start of the course, standard cancellation and postponement terms will apply.

The Client will also ensure that a suitable area(s) is made available for the training. Should training be cancelled or postponed due to failure of the Client to provide access to equipment or ensure a suitable area(s) for training are made available, the full course fee will be chargeable and may not be transferred.

Equipment must be in a serviceable condition, with all necessary checks having been completed as required by any applicable regulation(s) or legislation at the time. The Trainer may reasonably request to see evidence of such checks. Where such evidence cannot be provided, the Trainer reserves the right to deem the equipment unsuitable for use. The Trainer reserves the right to determine in any case whether the equipment is in a serviceable condition irrespective of any checks that have been completed. Where there are any concerns, the Client will be given the opportunity to rectify the issue(s) for the training to continue. If training is delayed as a result, this may incur extra charges as outlined above.

PRICES AND PAYMENT

  1. Prices charged will be those ruling at the time of course commencement, however, courses paid for in advance will not be surcharged in the event of a price increase. This includes courses where the Client has paid a deposit to secure a booking.

Unless mutually agreed, payment in full is due no later than 14 days before commencement of the course or, for business customers with a credit account only, twenty-eight days from the date of course.When courses are spread over a period, each separate part of the course will be regarded as a separate contract but may appear on the same invoice.
  5. All prices are shown exclusive of Value Added Tax, which will be added at the appropriate rate on invoicing or booking, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
  6. The company will be entitled to suspend all further supplies if payment terms are not met. This will not in any way prejudice the Provider’s rights under the contract.

  8. Quotations are based on the work being carried out during normal working hours unless otherwise stated. Normal working hours are defined as 08:00-17:00, Monday to Saturday.
