3.         Fees and Payment

3.1       All payments must be made in GB Pounds Sterling. Any currency conversion costs or other charges incurred in making the payment or in processing a refund shall be borne by you, and shall not be deductible from the Tuition Fee due to University of Surrey.

4.         Attendee’s Rights to cancel and Applicable Refund

4.1      Attendee’s right to cancel within fourteen days: Attendee has the right to cancel your Confirmed Place for no reason within fourteen days of the day attendee received notification of a Confirmed Place, provided that Organisers receive Attendee’s cancellation before the start of the Course.

4.2       Attendee’s general right to cancel: Attendee has the right to cancel their Confirmed Place at any time if organisers are affected by an Event Outside Our Control or if organisers change the Terms under Clause 9 to attendee’s material disadvantage.

4.3       Applicable Refund: Other than in cases where clauses 4.1 or 4.2 apply, you will not qualify for a refund of all or any part of the Tuition Fee or Accommodation Fee unless there is evidence of exceptional mitigating circumstances. Any refund will be at the sole discretion of University of Surrey.

4.4       To cancel Attendee’s Confirmed Place please inform us in writing, by emailing the Course Administrator at [email protected]

5.         Organisers Rights to cancel and Applicable Refund

5.1       Organisers reserve the right to cancel the Course (and therefore your Confirmed Place):

(a)        due to an Event Outside Organisers Control; or

(b)        if the Course fails to meet the minimum recruitment level by four weeks preceding commencement of the Course. Organisers will contact Attendee promptly if this happens.

5.2       If Organisers have to cancel a Course under Clause 5.1 and Attendee has a Confirmed Course Place, Organisers will refund the Tuition Fee to Attendee. Organisers will not accept liability for any costs or losses incurred by Attendee which are claimed to have arisen through cancellation of the Course and Attendee is strongly advised to take out insurance against cancellation of the Course if their travel costs are likely to be substantial.

5.3       Where Organisers have already started a Course by the time Organisers have to cancel under Clause 5.1(a), Organisers will refund Attendee a pro-rata amount of the Tuition Fee.

5.4       Organisers may cancel this contract at any time with immediate effect by giving Attendee written notice if Attendee breach the contract in any material way and Attendee does not correct or fix the situation within the deadline we give to Attendee for doing so.
