1.3 The Attendee’s Order shall only be deemed to be accepted by Barefoot when Barefoot notifies the Attendee in writing, usually by email, that their application is approved (the Application Approval Date) on which date (the Commencement Date) a contract between the Attendee and Barefoot shall come into existence on the basis of these Terms and Conditions.

1.4 The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the Attendee and Barefoot and supersedes and extinguishes all previous terms, agreements and discussions. The Attendee shall not be entitled to rely on any statement, promise or representation made or given by or on behalf of Barefoot which is not set out in the Contract.

1.5 Any example coaching or training sessions or presentations, descriptive matter or advertising issued by Barefoot and any illustrations or descriptions of the Courses contained in our catalogues, brochures or Barefoot’s Website are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Courses described in them. They shall not form part of the Contract or have any contractual force except where expressly provided in these Terms and Conditions.

2. SUPPLY OF SERVICES

2.1 Subject to receipt of the Charges by Barefoot in full, Barefoot shall supply the Course to the Attendee in accordance with the adult and work-based learning principles set out on Barefoot’s Website from time to time.

2.2 Barefoot shall have the right to make any changes to the Course which are necessary to comply with any applicable law or safety requirements which do not materially affect the nature or quality of the Course, or which Barefoot considers desirable or appropriate in connection with the Course.

3.1 The charges for the Course (the Charges) shall be as described on Barefoot’s Website at the Commencement Date.

3.2 Payment in full of the Charges shall be received by Barefoot in cleared funds no later than 6 weeks before date of commencement of the Course, unless by prior written agreement with Barefoot.

3.4 All amounts payable by the Attendee under the Contract are exclusive of amounts in respect of value added tax chargeable for the time being.

3.5 It is always possible that some of the Courses we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the Course’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the Course’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we 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 end the Contract, refund you any sums you have paid and cancel your position on the relevant Course.
