Training Terms & Conditions
Please find below our terms and conditions for training courses led by The Natural Coaching Company. We are registered in England and Wales as Natural Coaching Ltd., company number 12199836.
These terms and conditions have been designed to protect the quality of the training you receive. The Natural Coaching Company is an ethical organisation that values honest and open communication with its course participants. In the unlikely event that you are unable to meet your obligations under this agreement, please feel free to contact us to discuss your individual circumstances.
These terms and conditions do not cover our one-to-one and group coaching. This work is dealt with via a separate Coaching Agreement, a copy of which can be provided on request.
Process and Payment
Applications for a place on a course are considered on submission of a Natural Coaching Company application form. Places are confirmed on receipt of course deposit.
Payment
A deposit or instalment payment must be received in order to confirm a place on the course. Until such time as this payment is received The Natural Coaching Company may continue to sell or allocate places.
We will only accept your order when we email you to confirm this. At this point, a legally binding contract will be in place between you and us. If you are under the age of 18, you may not buy any course from us.
Balance of payment in full will be required at a specified date before the course commences.
Fee differences may arise as a result of delegates booking courses with us at different times or subject to different promotions from time to time. We are under no obligation to refund any fee differences.
The fee of the courses are in pounds sterling (£)(GBP) and includes VAT at the applicable rate.
Variation to Payment Terms
The Natural Coaching Company reserves the right to adjust the above terms. In such an event, the revised terms will be supplied to the participant in writing and will be valid on that occasion only.
Carrying out of courses
We must carry out the course at the time or within the period which you and we agree. Our carrying out of the course might be affected by events beyond our reasonable control. If so, there might be a delay before we can restart the course, having made reasonable efforts to limit the effect of any of those events and having kept you informed of the circumstances, but we will try to restart the course as soon as those events have been fixed. Examples of events which might be beyond our reasonable control include:
- you change the course (and this means we have to do extra work or wait for extra materials)
- materials are not delivered at the time agreed from our supplier of the materials. We will ensure all materials are received
- we cannot access a site, including online platform, at the times we agreed with you
- poor weather conditions.
Filming and/or the photographing of the tutors in session may occasionally take place for the purposes of learning resources and/or promotional materials. If you do not wish to be included please advise us accordingly.
