The following terms and conditions (‘the Conditions’) are the terms under which Cuddle Professional International (hereafter referred to as "CPI’) offers and sells to the buyer (‘the Buyer’) and the Conditions supersede all other terms and conditions relating to the subject matter of these Conditions. Any sale agreement (‘the Agreement’) between CPI and the Buyer shall be governed by these Conditions. Any variation to this clause must be by prior agreement in writing to CPI by email.

 

Services

 

The description and quantity of the Services (‘the Services’) shall be as set out on the CPI website (‘the Website’). The service (‘the Service’) shall be the specific combination of Services in the Agreement between CPI and the Buyer.  

 

Accuracy

 

Every effort has been made to ensure that the Services are described as accurately as possible. CPI will make every effort to ensure that the information on the Website is accurate and up to date. However, we disclaim all liabilities resulting from the following: i) technical problems resulting in errors (including pricing errors) or interruptions of the website, due to server upgrades or otherwise. In the unlikely event that a product's correct price is higher than that shown, we will contact you to see if you still wish to proceed with the order, ii) incompatibility of the website with your hardware, software or telecommunication links, iii) failure of the website to meet your requirements.

 

Pricing

 

The price (‘the Price’) is quoted in pounds sterling. The Price for the Services may change from time to time, without prior notice. In the event of a change in the Price, the price contracted with the Buyer in the Agreement will be maintained, except under exceptional circumstances, when notification of the change will be provided to the Buyer a minimum of one month in advance. Changes to fees levied on the Company by external Examining or Awarding Bodies (for example, but not limited to, individual Registration or Accreditation Fees) are not under the reasonable control of CPI and these changes will be passed on directly to the Buyer. Notification of any changes will be provided to the Buyer in advance in writing.

 

Payments

 

The Service shall not commence until the total payment is received and shall commence within two weeks of the receipt of the payment. CPI accepts payment by Paypal and Stripe.

 

Refunds

 

CPI shall not refund payments made for the Service in the event of: i) the Buyer being dissatisfied or perceiving that the Service is not suitable for the Buyer’s requirements, ii) the Buyer failing to fulfil their commitment to the Service (for example, but not limited to, failure to submit work for marking or to answer or respond regularly to communication from the tutor) iii) the Buyer failing to cancel recurring payments that are under the Buyer’s control (for example, but not limited to, recurring Standing Orders) or iv) termination of the Service by CPI having judged that there are reasonable grounds for termination.  Refunds may be permitted, at CPI's discretion, if the Buyer is able to demonstrate a failure of CPI to deliver the Service as detailed in the Agreement.  Our refund policy is legally binding and forms part of the Terms and Conditions  you accepted when you enrolled. It does not affect your statutory rights.

​

Statutory Rights

​

This course falls under the scope of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 in the UK. These regulations cover distance and off-premises contracts, including online sales, and provide consumers with certain rights, including the right to cancel a contract within 14 days of purchase for most goods and services bought online, which is often referred to as the "cooling-off" period.  However, if you purchase and access this course BEFORE the 14-days have elapsed you waive the cooling-off period for accessed digital content, and lose your right to a refund upon accessing the content. 

 

Termination of the Service by CPI

 

The Buyer is liable for any losses resulting from termination of the service by CPI as a result of evidence of plagiarism in any work submitted by the Buyer that is presented as original work. Judgement that there are reasonable grounds for termination of the Service is entirely at the discretion of CPI.

 

Disclaimer

 

CPI shall not be held liable in any way for default, loss of trade or profit occurring to the customer in the event of delivery of the Service being frustrated or delayed for any reason including but not limited to: fire, flood, accidents, riots, lockouts, trade disputes, acts or restraints of governments, the imposing of restrictions on exploration or from other causes not within reasonable control of the Company. The maximum liability of CPI to the Buyer shall not exceed the cost of the goods supplied. In no event shall CPI be liable to the Buyer for incidental, indirect, consequential or special damages.

General

 

CPI reserves the right to withhold the Service in the event of any breach of these terms and conditions if for any other reason which at the discretion of the Company warrants such action. If any term or provision of the Conditions is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason by any Court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the provisions of the Conditions shall continue in full force and effect as if the Conditions had been agreed with the invalid illegal or unenforceable provision eliminated. The headings in the Conditions are for ease of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the Conditions.
