This agreement between the Bobath Centre  (“Bobath Centre”, “We” or “Us”) and [purchaser] (“you”) sets out the terms under which our training is provided and explains what happens once you have placed an order, how to make payment, how you and we may change or end the contract, what to do if there is a problem and other important information.  This agreement hereby incorporates  Training Supply Terms and Conditions (Appendix 1).   

Under this agreement Bobath Centre shall supply and you agree to purchase Bobath Centre training for individuals (“the training”) at the cost specified

Provision of Training

The Bobath Centre shall supply the training online/class-room based courses from the date of payment of the invoice.  The training will be delivered by a qualified Bobath trained tutor. 

On occasion, unforeseen circumstances may require us to cancel a class-room based course. In such circumstances you will be given as much notice as possible and we will either (1) re-schedule to a mutually-agreed time and date, (2) provide a free transfer to another course date for individual trainees, and refund any fees where individuals cannot attend such an alternate course, or (3) provide a full refund of fees paid. 

Cancellation & Transfer 

The Bobath Centre’s courses are carefully priced to ensure that they remain accessible. The Centre’s training programme is restricted to a specified number of applicants per course, late cancellations, due to illness or inability to attend have a significant impact to the overall finance of the Centre. 

This course is non-refundable because of the on-line nature of the course content. The liability of fees in the event of cancellation is your responsibility of the delegate or their employer and are nonrefundable. 

Classroom-based courses at our Centre We are unable to offer refunds on cancellations arising from events beyond our control, this includes participant illness or inability to attend at short notice, adverse weather conditions, transport difficulties or terrorist alert. The Bobath Centre reserve the right to cancel the course if there are insufficient enrolments and in this case will refund fees in full, the Bobath Centre will not be held responsible for damages incurred as a result of course cancellation. 

Please do not book travel to the venue until you have checked that the course you are booked on to is fully confirmed (minimum 6 weeks prior to the event).  The Bobath Centre will not reimburse expenses for travel or accommodation should courses be cancelled. 

Please note that – where a discounted rate was quoted because of a bulk order – cancellation of courses may also lead to the loss of such discounted rate if the magnitude of the order after such cancellation no longer qualifies for the bulk discount, in which case a further invoice will be raised for the difference in price.

Should circumstances mean that individual trainees need to transfer to another Bobath Centre  course, we will do our best to accommodate any such requests, subject to availability and course size constraints.  All transfers must be taken within a period of six months from the date of the originally scheduled training. 

Note: If trainees do not attend a course, and we have not been previously informed, the full course fee remains payable.
