7.4 If we are unable to supply you with a Course, for example because that Course is no longer available or because of an error in the price on our site as referred to in clause 11.4, we will inform you of this by email and we will not process your order any further.

You may cancel the agreement either in respect of all the affected Courses or just the Courses you have yet to receive. If you decide to cancel, you will have to return (at our cost) any relevant Courses you have already received and we will arrange a full refund of the price you have paid, including any delivery charges.

9. YOUR CONSUMER RIGHT OF RETURN AND REFUND

This clause 9 only applies if you are a consumer.

9.1 If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel an Agreement under the Consumer Agreements (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 during the period which is set out below in clause 9.3. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Course, you can advise us of your decision to cancel the Agreement and receive a refund. Information and advice about your legal right to cancel the Agreement is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

9.2 However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of:

(a) sealed audio or sealed video recordings or sealed computer software, once these Courses are unsealed after you receive them.
(b) any Courses which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.

9.3 Your legal right to cancel an Agreement commences from the date of the confirmation email (the date on which we email you to confirm our acceptance of your order), which is when the Agreement between us is formed. Your final date to cancel the Agreement will then depend on what you have ordered and how it is to be delivered, as described in the table below:

YOUR AGREEMENT	END OF THE CANCELLATION PERIOD
Your Agreement is for a single Course (which is not delivered in instalments on separate days).	The end date is the end of 14 days after the day on which you receive the Course. Example: if we send you a Confirmation Email on 1st January and you receive the course on the same date you may cancel at any time between 1st January to 15th January.
Your Agreement is for either of the following: • one Course which is delivered in instalments on separate days. • multiple Courses which are delivered on separate days.	The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the last instalment of the Course or the last of the separate Courses ordered. Example: if we send you a confirmation email on 1st January and you receive the first instalment of your Course or the first of your separate Courses on the same date and the last instalment or last separate Course on 15th January you may cancel in respect of all instalments and any or all of the separate Courses at any time between 1st January and the end of the day on 29th January.
Your Agreement is for the regular delivery of a Course over a set period.	The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the first delivery of the Courses (which in the case of electronic courses are usually sent directly by email). Example: if we send you a confirmation email on 1st January in respect of Courses to be delivered at regular intervals over a year and you receive the first delivery of your Course on 10th January, you may cancel at any time between 1st January and the end of the day on 24th January. 24th January is the last day of the cancellation period in respect of all Courses to arrive during the year.

9.4 To cancel an Agreement, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The most straightforward way to do this is to complete the cancellation form on our website. If you use this method we will email you to confirm we have received your request to cancel.

You may also email us at [email protected] or contact us by telephone on 01641 406 880 or by post to RP Alba Ltd, Seaview Office, Melvich, Sutherland, KW14 7YL. If you decide to email us or contact us in writing please include details of your order to help us to identify it. If you send us your notice of cancellation by email or by post, then your cancellation will take effect from the date you send us the email or post the letter to us. For example, you will have given us notice in the correct time as long as you get your letter into the last post on the last day of the cancellation period or email us before midnight on that day.

9.5 If you decide to cancel your Agreement we will:

(a) refund the price paid for the Courses to you. However, you should be aware that we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the courses (if the course is delivered in whole or part in a ‘hard format’ rather than purely electronic), if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop.
(b) refund any delivery costs you may have paid for our courses which are not purely delivered electronically, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method). For example, if we offer delivery of a Course within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the Course delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
(c) process any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:
- (i) if you have received the Course and we have not provided an offer to collect it from you: 14 days following the day on which we receive the Course after you have returned it to us, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence to show that you have returned the course to us. For information about how you may return a Course to us, see clause 9.8;
- (ii) if you have not yet received the Course or if you have received it and we have offered to collect it from you: 14 days after you advise us of your decision to cancel the Agreement.

9.6 If you have returned the Courses to us pursuant to this clause 9 because they are mis-described or defective, we will provide you with a refund of the price of the Courses in full, together with any delivery charges that may apply, and any reasonable costs you may incur in returning the item to us.

9.7 We will refund you on the debit or credit card that you used to pay (or by another method subject to our agreement and your original method of payment).

9.8 If materials for a Course have been delivered to you before you make a decision to cancel your Agreement:

(a) then you must return all materials to us without delay and no later than 14 days after the day on which you advise us that you wish to cancel the Agreement. You can either send it back to our registered office or alternatively we may arrange to collect the Course materials from the address to which they were delivered. We will contact you to arrange a suitable time to collect the materials;
(b) unless the Course Materials are defective or not in accordance with their description (in this case, see clause 9.6), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Courses to us. If we have offered to collect the Course from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection.

9.9 Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Courses that are in conformity with this Agreement. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Courses that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause 9 or anything else set out in these Terms and Conditions.

10. DELIVERY

10.1 The majority of our courses are electronic courses which will be delivered automatically and in accordance with the confirmation email (the date on which we email you to confirm our acceptance of your order). For any other courses which are delivered in a hard format we will confirm an estimated delivery date in our confirmation email (the date on which we email you to confirm our acceptance of your order). Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. See clause 15 for details of our responsibilities when this happens.

10.2 Delivery of an order shall be completed when we deliver the Courses to the address you gave us and the Courses will be your responsibility from that time.

10.3 Except in the case of courses delivered electronically and unless agreed otherwise we do not deliver courses internationally.

This clause only applies if you are a consumer.

10.4 If we miss the agreed delivery date for any Courses then you may cancel your order straight away if any of the following circumstances apply:

(a) we have refused to deliver any of the Courses;
(b) delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or
(c) you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.

10.5 If you decide that you do not wish to cancel your order immediately, or do not have the right to do so under clause 10.4, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel your order if we do not meet the new deadline.

10.6 If you do choose to cancel your order for late delivery under clause 10.4 or clause 10.5 you may do so for just some of the Courses or all of them, unless splitting them up would substantially diminish their value. If the Courses have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us or allow us to collect them, and we will pay the costs of this. After you cancel your order we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Courses and their delivery.

10.7 In the case of courses delivered electronically, these will be delivered immediately either at the same time or following the confirmation email.

11. PRICE OF COURSES AND DELIVERY CHARGES

11.1 The prices of the Courses will be as quoted on our site at the time you submit your order. We take all reasonable care to make sure that the prices of Courses are correct at the time when they are entered onto the system. However please see clause 11.4 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Course(s) you ordered.

11.2 Prices for our Courses may vary from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.

11.3 The price of a Course includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT varies between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Courses in full before the change in VAT takes effect.

11.4 The price of a Course does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as advised to you during the check-out process, before you confirm your order. In the case of electronic courses (where no hard copies of materials are delivered), there is of course no separate delivery charge.

11.5 Our site contains a large number of Courses. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Courses on our site may not be correctly priced. If we find an error in the price of the Courses you have ordered we will contact you to advise you of this error and provide you with the option of continuing to purchase the Course 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. Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing, we do not have to provide the Courses to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

12. HOW TO PAY

12.1 You can only pay for Courses using a debit card, credit card or Paypal. We accept the following cards: Mastercard, Visa, Visa Electron, American Express.

12.2 Further and subject to our agreement you may request delivery of an invoice from us and make payment for Courses by bank transfer or cheque (although full payment must usually be received in advance of access to the Courses).

12.3 Payment for the Courses and all applicable delivery charges is in advance. We will not charge your debit card or credit card until we dispatch your order.

13.5 Except as expressly stated in these Terms and Conditions, we do not give any representation, warranties or undertakings in relation to the Courses. Any representation, condition or warranty which might be implied or incorporated into these Terms and Conditions by statute, common law or otherwise is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. In particular, we will not be responsible for ensuring that the Courses are suitable for your purposes.

14. OUR LIABILITY IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER

This clause 14 only applies if you are a consumer.

14.1 If we fail to comply with these Terms and Conditions, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms and Conditions or our negligence, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is an obvious consequence of our breach or if it was contemplated by you and us at the time we entered into this Agreement.

14.2 We only supply the Courses for domestic and private use. You agree not to use the Course for any commercial, business or resale purposes, and we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

17.5 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under this Agreement, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations.
