Booking Terms (Professional/Adult Courses)
We always work hard to satisfy our customers and we are always more than happy to negotiate with our customers to resolve any issues. If you have any concerns, or if there is anything you may be worried about, please do get in touch to see what we can do to help.
1. By sending an order or booking, even prior to making any payment, the customer has agreed to be bound by these terms and conditions.
In this terms and condition, “customer” refers to any individual, company or institution enquiring and/or confirming or placing an order or making a booking. The “institution” refers to Software Academy.
2. A booking is taken as a confirmed order. The customer has the right to cancel any arrangements prior to placing or confirming an order. Customer’s confirmation can be written (through any means such as emails or letters) or it could be verbal, or it could be made through the booking system of the website. Making payment for purchase is also considered as customer’s confirmation.
3. The institution is only obliged to provide its training or services on the agreed date and time, following the agreed curriculum or services between the institution and the customer, as well as the terms and conditions of Software Academy.
4. If the customer chooses to change or cancel the order after placing or confirming an order, whether it being prior or after making a payment, the institution is entitled to keep full payment (if any payment has been made) or demand full payment (if no payment, or part of a payment has been made). The institution may consider to fully or partially refund the customer if it chooses to do so, however the institution is not bound to any obligations for this. In most cases, we offer a full refund after deducting a £50 cancellation fee, however we’re not obligated to do so.
5. If the customer chooses to cancel, reschedule or in any way or form change any part of an order (such as date, time, location, curriculum, services, etc.), the institution reserves the right not to agree to any changes or cancellations but is still entitled for full payment for the placed or confirmed order. In a case full payment has been made, the institution is entitled to keep the entire order and not provide a refund.
6. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the content of the placed order (such as date, time, services, curriculum, etc.) is correct.
The institution prides itself on providing excellent tuition and services, but does not guarantee students or clients will fully learn subjects as this is relative to each individual’s learning abilities.
7. Invoices are issued on receipt of the order. Payments are to be made within 30 days of date of invoice or prior to the start of the training or services whichever is earlier. If the institution chooses to be flexible with the date of payment, then the payment is to be cleared latest by the last day of training/services. The institution reserves the right not to provide any training or services unless full payment is made.
8. By providing your details you agree to being sent updates on our products and services. Should you wish to opt-out, please do get in touch.
9. The institution reserves the right to cancel, change or amend any order by informing the customer.
The institution will not be liable to customer if for any reason beyond its control it is unable to provide the agreed tuition or services. In the unlikely event of such circumstances where the institution changes the order, the institution will reschedule the training or services and is not obliged to refund the customer. Should the customer choose to disagree with the changes, the institution is not obliged to offer any refunds.
Should the institution fail to reschedule the training or services or chooses to cancel the the entire or part of an order, a refund will be made to the customer after deducting the costs for any training or services already provided.
10. Placing a booking, order or providing confirmation for an agreed product or service is considered as the customer’s confirmation and commitment to the service and/or product. This however does not serve as a confirmation and/or commitment on behalf of the institution. The institution’s confirmation and/or commitment will be established once the institution has sent a written order and/or booking confirmation to the customer. In the event of an error, the institution holds the rights to cancel or amend any confirmations and/or commitments.

Offers
Best-Price Guarantee
We have checked other major training providers in London and have set our prices at a more affordable rate compared to those. We will match the price of another cheaper provider if they a) are an established organization, b) the total price divided by the total training hours is cheaper than our total price divided by the total training hours including our after training support.
Money-back Guarantee
We offer a full money back guarantee if you’re not happy with your training. You must inform us about this either on the first session (if your course is an evening course), or the morning sessions (if your course is a daytime course).
In this case, you can terminate your course and be given a full-refund.
