These terms and conditions (Terms) together with the registration form on the website (Contract), comprise the entire agreement under which South Bank University Enterprises Limited (SBUEL), an affiliate of London South Bank University (LSBU), will provide Consultancy and/or Testing services (Services) to you. Please read the Terms carefully before you submit your order to us. These Terms will tell you what your rights are in relation to the contract.
Your attention is particularly drawn to the provisions of clause 10 (Limitation of liability).
1. Placing an order and its acceptance
For Individuals: Please review the ‘General information’ description of any product under the Consultancy or Services sections of the website. Some products have a customised enquiry form to complete before they can be added to your basket, and some products can be added straight to your basket. Follow the onscreen prompts to place your order.
For Businesses: Please review the ‘General Information’ description of any product under the Consultancy or Services sections of the website. Some products have a customised enquiry form to complete before they can be added to a user, and some products can be added straight to your users. Follow the onscreen prompts to place your order.
You may only submit an order using the method set out on the site. Each order is an offer by you to buy the services specified in the order (Services) subject to these Terms. Please check the order carefully before confirming it. You are responsible for ensuring that your order and any information submitted by you is complete and accurate.
1.2 Accepting your order. Our acceptance of your order takes place when we send an email to you to accept it (Order Confirmation), at which point and on which date (Commencement Date) the Contract between you and us will come into existence. The Contract will relate only to those Services confirmed in the Order Confirmation. If we are unable to supply you with the Services for any reason, we will inform you of this by email and we will not process your order. If you have already paid for the Services, we will refund you the full amount.
2.1 You may cancel the Contract and receive a refund, if you notify us as set out in clause 2.1 within 14 days of your receipt of the Order Confirmation. You cannot cancel the Contract once we have completed the Services, even if the 14-day period is still running.
2.2 To cancel the Contract, you must email us at shortcoursesadmin@lsbu.ac.uk including details of your order to help us to identify it. Your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the email. For example, you will have given us notice in time as long as you email us before midnight on that day. We will email you to confirm we have received your cancellation.
2.3 If you cancel the Contract, we will refund you in full for the price you paid for the Services, by the method you used for payment. We may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the Services provided for the period up to the time when you gave notice of cancellation in accordance with clause 2.1. The amount we deduct will reflect the amount that has been supplied as a proportion of the entirety of the Contract.
3. Our services
3.1 Descriptions and illustrations. Any descriptions or illustrations on our site are published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the services described in them. They will not form part of the Contract or have any contractual force.
3.2 Changes to specification. We reserve the right to amend the specification of the Services if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirement or if the amendment will not materially affect the nature or quality of the Services, and we will notify you in advance of any such amendment.
3.3 Reasonable care and skill. We warrant to you that the Services will be provided using reasonable care and skill but do not warrant that any result or objective whether stated in this agreement or not shall be achieved, be achievable or be attained at all or by a specified date.
3.4 Time for performance. We will use all reasonable endeavours to meet any performance dates specified in the Order Confirmation, but any such dates are estimates only and failure to perform the Services by such dates will not give you the right to terminate the Contract.
4.1 It is your responsibility to ensure that:
(a) the terms of your order are complete and accurate;
(b) you cooperate with us in all matters relating to the Services;
(c) you provide us, our employees, agents, consultants and subcontractors, with access to your facilities as we may reasonably require;
(d) you provide us with such information and materials we may reasonably require in order to supply the Services, and ensure that such information is complete and accurate in all material respects;
(e) you obtain and maintain all necessary licences, permissions and consents which may be required for the Services before the date on which the Services are to start;
(f) you comply with all applicable laws, including health and safety laws;
(g) you keep all of our materials, equipment, documents and other property (Our Materials) at your premises in safe custody at your own risk, maintain (Our Materials) in good condition until returned to us, and not dispose of or use Our Materials other than in accordance with our written instructions or authorisation;
4.2 If our ability to perform the Services is prevented or delayed by any failure by you to fulfil any obligation listed in clause 4.1 (Your Default):
(a) we will be entitled to suspend performance of the Services until you remedy Your Default, and to rely on Your Default to relieve us from the performance of the Services, in each case to the extent Your Default prevents or delays performance of the Services. In certain circumstances Your Default may entitle us to terminate the Contract under clause 12 (Termination);
(b) we will not be responsible for any costs or losses you sustain or incur arising directly or indirectly from our failure or delay to perform the Services; and
(c) it will be your responsibility to reimburse us on written demand for any costs or losses we sustain or incur arising directly or indirectly from Your Default.
5.1 In consideration of us providing the Services you must pay our charges (Charges) in accordance with this clause 5.
5.2 The Charges are the prices quoted on our site at the time you submit your order. However, if you wish to change the scope of the Services after we accept your order, and we agree to such change, or if the scope of the Services to be provided to you requires additional time and resources, we will modify the Charges accordingly.
5.3 We use our best efforts to ensure that the prices stated for the Services are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered into the system. However, please see clause 5.6 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Services you ordered.
5.4 Our Charges may be exclusive or inclusive of VAT. Where VAT is payable in respect of some or all of the Services, it is itemised on the payment screen, and you must pay us such additional amounts in respect of VAT, at the applicable rate, at the same time as you pay the Charges.
5.5 It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Services on our site may be incorrectly priced. Where the correct price for the Services is less than the price stated on our site, we will charge the lower amount and if the correct price for the Services is higher than the price stated on our site, we will contact you in writing as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Services at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. However, if we mistakenly accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may cancel supply of the Services and refund you any sums you have paid.
6.1 Payment for the Services is in advance. We will take your payment upon acceptance of your order as follows:
For Individuals: You can pay for the Services using a debit or credit card.
For Businesses: You can pay for the Services using a debit or credit card or by invoice.
6.2 We use WPM as our payment provider for payments made by debit or credit card and they accept the following cards:
6.3 We will send you an electronic invoice immediately on receipt of your payment. For any failed or cancelled payments, a £20 administration fee will be levied.
6.4 If you fail to make a payment under the Contract by the due date, then, without limiting our remedies under clause 12 (Termination), you will have to pay interest on the overdue sum from the due date until payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment. Interest under this clause 6.4 will accrue each day at 4% a year above the Bank of England's base rate from time to time, but at 4% a year for any period when that base rate is below 0%.
6.5 All amounts due under the Contract shall be paid in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
