We will use Our reasonable endeavours to provide You with all agreed training using reasonable care and skill. However, the nature of an online training session is such that there may be intrinsic limitations due to the online nature of it. Consequently, although dependent on various factors, the effectiveness or result of any one or more sessions will differ in each case.

We will tell You before, during or after providing any session whether, in addition to that or any other online sessions, We will need to see in person either You or any of Your personnel in order to be able to provide the training in order to fulfil the training needs that You have explained to Us or a training programme agreed between You and Us. If Our view is that We need to see You or any of Your personnel for that purpose, We will discuss the situation with You and, unless You decline Our offer for Us to see You or Your personnel in person, We will endeavour to arrange an appointment to see You or Your personnel either at Our office or at Your premises. Any such meeting in person at Our office or Your premises, and any work carried out or services provided to You (other than provision under these Terms of Sale of any Paid Content) will be subject to Our standard terms and conditions applicable to in person appointments and to other work and services.

We make no warranty or representation that, and give no undertaking that:

(a) any, or any particular, result will be brought about as a result of You or Your staff taking part in any training session(s) or receiving or using any other Paid Content; or

(b) We will carry out any work or provide any services for You other than or additional to providing Paid Content within Your Subscription, save as We may expressly agree under a separate agreement.

  1. Miscellaneous

Number of sessions needed:  Where a Subscription is only for a standard pre-existing package of training that We offer that does not necessitate Us planning, designing or creating, altering or adding to any such standard pre-existing training for You specifically, the number of sessions will be as stated on Our website and as agreed with You when you purchase the relevant Subscription. In all other cases the number of sessions will be as stated by Us and agreed with You.

Period of a consultation or training session: Where a session is a live two-way interactive session, it will be for 60 minutes (or any other period that We agree with You when You purchase a Subscription).

Punctuality: We expect You to be ready for a consultation or training session at least 5 minutes before the scheduled start time of that session to ensure that You are ready to start on time.

Missing a consultation or training session: If You are not available for a session for any reason it is solely Your responsibility to ensure that You purchase an additional session if necessary.
