Our contract

By placing an order you are entering into a legally binding contract. If you supply us with your organisation’s address and contact details, our contract will be with your organisation.  If you supply us with your personal address and contact detail our contract will be with you.  Your order or booking, and thereby the contract with us, can be made online via our platform. By placing an order or booking, and thereby entering into a contract with us, you agree to be bound by our terms and conditions.

Payment terms

Unless otherwise stated on our invoice, our payment terms are strictly 14 days from date of invoice. We reserve the right to apply a late payment charge of £10.00 on invoices that are still outstanding beyond this period. We also reserve the right to enforce the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 1998 on invoices that are still outstanding after 60 days; meaning a late payment charge of £40.00 plus interest will be added to the outstanding amount.  We have the right to instruct external agencies to collect these fees and the customer will be liable for all costs including recovery. All prices include all applicable sales tax (e.g. VAT).

Payment Plans

Payment plans are available via a direct debit mandate only.  It is your responsibility to ensure that there are enough funds in your bank account to pay the regular direct debit instalments.  Should an instalment remain unpaid after 14 days of the agreed date of collection then the balance of the remaining instalments will become immediately payable and a £35.00 administration charge will be applied to your account.  An administration charge of £35.00 will be applied to your account for re-instatement of a cancelled direct debit mandate.  Should funds remain unpaid after 30 consecutive days from the initial failed monthly instalment we have the right to instruct external agencies to collect these fees. 

Cancellations

All our products have specific cancellation periods. Please see each product type below for product-specific cancellation periods.  No cancellations will be accepted outside the specified cancellation periods.  All cancellations must be made in writing (email is acceptable), quote your customer or invoice number on all communication with us. 

Subscription Courses

Platform offers subscription courses. They are only available online.  The subscription contract is billed every 12 months and you have the right to cancel the renewal. If you do not wish to renew your subscription you must notify us in writing at least two working days prior to the automatic renewal.  Once our invoice for the next subscription period has been issued the subscription cannot be cancelled until the following renewal time and our renewal invoice will remain payable. 

You may cancel your initial order for the online subscription course within 14 days of placing your order; cancellation must be made in writing.  After this 14-day period has elapsed the order may not be cancelled.  This right to cancel is lost if you have logged into the course within this 14-day period.

For subscriptions, we reserve the right to change the price, whereby the new price will apply to the next billing period and should be communicated no later than 14 days prior to its introduction.

Your Subscription will continue until you cancel it. Cancellation shall take effect on the day after the last day of your billing period.

Online Short & 12 Months Access Courses

Platform offers Online Short & 12 Months Access Courses to which you gain access for a strictly limited time after full payment for the course.

You may cancel your initial order for the online course within 14 days of placing your order; cancellation must be made in writing. After this 14-day period has elapsed the order may not be cancelled.  This right to cancel is lost if you have logged into the course within this 14-day period.  You have access to the online course for a maximum of 12 months.  An extension to this period may be negotiated for an additional fee. 

Updating These Terms

From time to time, we may update these Terms & Conditions to clarify our practices or to reflect new or different practices (such as when we add new features). We reserve the right in our sole discretion to modify and/or make changes to these Terms at any time. A change in the provisions of the Terms & Conditions shall not lead to the loss of acquired rights, if they were acquired in accordance with the law. All Orders placed before the date of change of Terms & Conditions shall be executed on the basis of Terms & Conditions that were in force on the date of placing the order, unless the provisions of the new version of Terms & Conditions are more favorable. We will notify account holders of the change in the Terms & Conditions by sending the relevant information to their e-mail box addresses. We will also post the consolidated text of the amended Terms & Conditions on the platform's website.

If you do not accept the new Terms & Conditions, please notify us within 14 days from the date of receipt of information about the amended Terms & Conditions at hello@uniqskills.com. Failure to object within this period will be considered as acceptance of the new version of the Terms & Conditions.
