1.Booking terms and conditions
1. Introduction
1.1 Bookings made through our website, and our and your rights and obligations in relation to such bookings, are governed by these terms and conditions.
1.2 You will be asked to give your express agreement to these terms and conditions before you place an order on our website.
1.3 Any statutory rights that you may have as a consumer are not affected by these terms and conditions.
2. Interpretation
2.1 In these terms and conditions:
(a) "we" means Freedom Training and Consultancy Ltd (and "us and "our" should be construed accordingly);
(b) "you" means our customer or prospective customer under these terms and conditions (and "your" should be construed accordingly);
(c) "booking" means a booking in respect of [booking subject matter], which may be made by you under these terms and conditions; and
(d) "force majeure event" means an event that is, or a series of related events that are, beyond our reasonable control.
3. Order process
3.1 The advertising of bookings on our website constitutes an "invitation to treat" rather than a contractual offer.
3.2 No contract will come into force between you and us unless and until we accept your order in accordance with the procedure set out in this Section 3.
3.3 To make a booking through our website, the following steps must be taken:
Single Course Booking
To order a ticket or tickets for a single event just click the 'Add to Cart' button that corresponds to the course you wish to attend. This will open a new window and display the checkout screen. Here you can adjust the number of delegate tickets you wish to buy and then you can continue through the payment process
Multiple Course Booking
To order tickets for different events at the same time click on the 'Add to Cart' button that corresponds to the first course you wish to purchase a ticket for. This will open a new window showing the checkout screen. Just click back on the first window which shows the courses and then click on the 'Add to Cart' button the next course you wish to buy a ticket for. This will then take you back to the updated checkout screen. Repeat this process as necessary until you have selected all you desired courses.
In each case you will be transferred to our payment service provider's website, and our payment service provider will handle your payment; we will then send you an initial acknowledgement; and, finally, we will either send you an order confirmation (at which point your order will become a binding contract) or we will confirm by email that we are unable to meet your order.
3.4 You will have the opportunity to identify and correct input errors prior to making your order by viewing the 'View Cart' screen and once on the Payment Providers payment screen.
