  1. Basis of Sale
    1. The description of the Services and any Goods in our website does not constitute a contractual offer to sell the Services or Goods. When an Order has been submitted on the Website, we can reject it for any reason, although we will try to tell you the reason without delay.
    2. The Order process is set out on the Website. Each step allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting the Order. It is your responsibility to check that you have used the ordering process correctly.
    3. A Contract will be formed for the Services ordered only when you receive an email from us confirming the Order (Order Confirmation). You must ensure that the Order Confirmation is complete and accurate and inform us immediately of any errors. We are not responsible for any inaccuracies in the Order placed by you. By placing an Order you agree to us giving you confirmation of the Contract by means of an email with all information in it (i.e. the Order Confirmation). You will receive the Order Confirmation within a reasonable time after making the Contract, but in any event not later than the delivery of any Goods or Services supplied under the Contract, and before performance begins of any of the Services.
    4. No variation of the Contract, whether about description of the Services, Fees or otherwise, can be made after it has been entered into unless the variation is agreed by the Customer and the Supplier in writing.
    5. We intend that these Terms and Conditions apply only to a Contract entered into by you as a Consumer. If this is not the case, you must tell us, so that we can provide you with a different contract with terms which are more appropriate for you and which might, in some respects, be better for you, e.g. by giving you rights as a business.

 

  1. Fees and Payment
    1. The fees (Fees) for the Services, the price of any Goods (if not included in the Fees) and any additional delivery or other charges is that set out on the Website at the date we accept the Order or such other price as we may agree in writing.

    2. in the case of Services, within a reasonable time; and
    3. in the case of Goods, without undue delay and, in any event, not more than 30 days after the day on which the Contract is entered into.
    4. In any case, regardless of events beyond our control, if we do not deliver the Services on time, you can require us to reduce the Fees or charges by an appropriate amount (including the right to receive a refund for anything already paid above the reduced amount). The amount of the reduction can, where appropriate, be up to the full amount of the Fees or charges.
    5. In any case, regardless of events beyond our control, if we do not deliver the Goods on time, you can (in addition to any other remedies) treat the Contract at an end if:
    6. we have refused to deliver the Goods, or if delivery on time is essential taking into account all the relevant circumstances at the time the Contract was made, or you said to us before the Contract was made that delivery on time was essential; or
    7. after we have failed to deliver on time, you have specified a later period which is appropriate to the circumstances and we have not delivered within that period.
    8. If you treat the Contract at an end, we will (in addition to other remedies) promptly return all payments made under the Contract.
    9. If you were entitled to treat the Contract at an end, but do not do so, you are not prevented from cancelling the Order for any Goods or rejecting Goods that have been delivered and, if you do this, we will (in addition to other remedies) without delay return all payments made under the Contract for any such cancelled or rejected Goods. If the Goods have been delivered, you must return them to us or allow us to collect them from you and we will pay the costs of this.
    10. If any Goods form a commercial unit (a unit is a commercial unit if division of the unit would materially impair the value of the goods or the character of the unit) you cannot cancel or reject the Order for some of those Goods without also cancelling or rejecting the Order for the rest of them.
    11. We do not generally deliver to addresses outside Mainland UK. If, however, we accept an Order for delivery outside that area, you may need to pay import duties or other postal charges or taxes, as we will not pay them.
    12. You agree we may deliver the Goods in instalments if we suffer a shortage of stock or other genuine and fair reason, subject to the above provisions and provided you are not liable for extra charges.

    14. The Goods will become your responsibility from the completion of delivery or Customer collection. You must, if reasonably practicable, examine the Goods before accepting them.

 

  1. Risk and Title
    1. Risk of damage to, or loss of, any Goods will pass to you when the Goods are delivered to you.
    2. You do not own the Goods until we have received payment in full. If full payment is overdue or a step occurs towards your bankruptcy, we can choose, by notice to cancel any delivery and end any right to use the Goods still owned by you, in which case you must return them or allow us to collect them.

 

  1. Withdrawal  and cancellation
    1. You can withdraw the Order by telling us before the Contract is made, if you simply wish to change your mind and without giving us a reason, and without incurring any liability.

      1. goods that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised;
      2. goods which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly
    3. Students, Parents and Guardians are required to give half a term’s notice (or minimum of 6 weeks) if they wish to withdraw from Brighton Ballet School classes or courses.

    4. Fees not paid before the end of the current course/term of classes or half term will incur a £10 late payment fee accruing on their account.

 

 

  1. Right to cancel
    1. Subject as stated in these Terms and Conditions, you can cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason subject to the terms below.
    2. The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you or acquire, or a third party, other than the carrier, indicated by you, acquires physical possession of the last of the Goods.

    4. To receive a refund for services (without goods) cancelations must be made within 14 days of the date the contract was entered into (as stated above) and at least 14 days before the commencement of the course, class, or start of the term.
    5. Refunds are not offered under any circumstances after the commencement of the course, class or start of the term.

    9. Students, Parents and Guardians are required to give half a term’s notice (or minimum of 6 weeks) if they wish to withdraw from Brighton Ballet School classes or courses. Failure to do so will result in fees remaining liable for payment in full, regardless of whether their child attends the class or not. 

 

 

  1. Deduction for Goods supplied
    1. We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any Goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you (i.e. handling the Goods beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods: e.g. it goes beyond the sort of handling that might be reasonably allowed in a shop). This is because you are liable for that loss and, if that deduction is not made, you must pay us the amount of that loss.

 

  1. Timing of reimbursement
    1. If we have not offered to collect the Goods, we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:
    2. 14 days after the day we receive back from you any Goods supplied, or
    3. (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have sent back the Goods.
    4. If we have offered to collect the Goods or if no Goods were supplied or to be supplied (i.e. it is a contract for the supply of services only), we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this Contract.
    5. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.

 

  1. Returning Goods
    1. If you have received Goods in connection with the Contract which you have cancelled, you must send back the Goods or hand them over to us at 23 Freshfield Street, Brighton, East Sussex, BN2 9ZG without delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate to us your cancellation of this Contract. The deadline is met if you send back the Goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You agree that you will have to bear the cost of returning the Goods.
    2. For the purposes of these Cancellation Rights, these words have the following meanings:
    3. distance contract means a contract concluded between a trader and a consumer under an organised distance sales or service-provision scheme without the simultaneous physical presence of the trader and the consumer, with the exclusive use of one or more means of distance communication up to and including the time at which the contract is concluded;
