Booking for workshops, training and other events run by Kumoco implies acceptance of these terms and conditions.
These terms shall prevail over any terms put forward by you, unless we expressly agree to them in writing. No conduct by us, our employees or our associates shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of any terms put forward by you. Terms and conditions may be updated from time to time and will apply from the date of publication on the website. Any variations for specific events will be specified in the web materials publicising the events.
Bookings and Payment
Acceptance of bookings is subject to availability, suitability for the programme and other conditions that Kumoco may set for any specific event. Registered bookings are confirmed subject to payment in advance, either by credit card or by the date specified on the invoice. Bookings for which payment is not received by the due date may be subject to cancellation by Kumoco.
Discounts
Discount policy will differ between events and will be as described on our web or printed material for each event.
Discounts cannot be applied following a purchase.
No more than one discount may be applied per order.
Cancellation
If for some reason, we have to cancel the course, participants will get a full refund. We need a minimum amount of people to make it feasible. We will not be liable for any travel costs incurred by participants if a course is cancelled. Please wait until 1 week before the course to book travel, or contact us to find out the status of a course.
If a participant wishes to cancel a place, they may do so and receive a full refund minus any transaction fees up until 30 days before the course. We are able to offer a 50% refund up until 2 weeks before the course. After this period we are unable to offer a refund as we will have committed to costs for the participant’s place.
If however a participant finds someone else to take their place then we would offer a refund at any time, minus any costs incurred with the transaction.
Changes
The programmes for our workshops, training and other events are correct at the time of publication. We reserve the right to change programmes without notice.
On occasion we may have to change the venue to a different location to the one advertised. We reserve the right to change this and will inform participants via email.
Pre-Requisites
If a course has pre-requisites, it is the participant’s responsibility to ensure they are suitably qualified to attend the course. Refunds will not be made if the participant cannot complete the course due to finding it too difficult, or if the course leader thinks they cannot stay on due to not achieving the required pre-requisites.
Contact Details
Contact details for participants and ticket buyers will be kept strictly private and will be shared only with the course trainer and Kumoco.
Photography and Video
Certain sessions during some of our events are filmed and recorded. If you do not wish to be included in any footage or photography, please contact us and we will ensure that you are not included. If you do not contact the team, you consent to being filmed and recorded and (hence maybe) included in this and subsequent versions in any and all media, worldwide, without limitation of time. The team can be contacted at: [email protected]
Intellectual property rights and copyright
All intellectual property rights and know-how in or relating to the course designs, training materials, consultancy methods and the software used by us, whether subsisting prior to the event or generated or arising in the course of the event shall (with the sole exception of any intellectual property rights or know-how belonging to you prior to the event) remain or vest with us and our suppliers.
Limitation of liability
If we breach the terms of an agreement, or you seek compensation and damages for any claim or claims arising out of any contract between us for whatever reason, your remedy will be limited to damages. Our liability will not exceed the cost of the registration fee received (if any), except in the case of injury or death or any person.
With the exception of the above paragraph, we shall not be liable to you, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence and breach of statutory duty), strict liability, or otherwise whatsoever:
- for any loss of profit, business, contracts or revenues
- for failure to achieve anticipated savings in costs
- for any special, indirect or consequential damage of any nature whatsoever arising directly
- or indirectly out of the services we offer, or of any error or defect caused by us, UNLESS you inform us in writing before you book a place on each event, of any particular circumstances covered above.
- Each of the foregoing points is to be construed as a separate limitation (applying and surviving even if for any reason one or other of these points is held inapplicable or unreasonable in any circumstances) and shall remain in force notwithstanding termination of any contract between us.
