TERMS AND CONDITIONS:-
PAYMENT/CANCELLATION POLICY:
WORKSHOPS: There are strictly no refunds available for workshops once booked. It is not possible to return payments for workshops for failure to attend or failure to complete the workshop under any circumstances. Nor is it possible to return a workshop that you have already received the information for.
TRAININGS: All trainings are subject to a £200 non-refundable administration fee. We cannot refund once the manual and the materials have been sent out to you and your space on the training has been allocated as there are limited spaces on this online course. We regret there can be no exceptions to this (including illness, family issues, pregnancy, job changes, international emergencies such as strikes or any outbreak of war or terrorism, epidemics or contraction of disease, including COVID-19) as there are limited places and your place has been taken and reserved for you. Please purchase cancellation insurance to protect you from any losses you may incur. All cancellations must be made in writing to Sarah@SarahLo.co.uk. No refunds will be made for failure to attend or failure to complete the teacher training or withdrawal from the program due to unforseen circumstances. No transfers to other courses or between students allowed. All refunds will be processed within 2 weeks following a program. The cancellation policy is firm. After registered payment, we will send you a confirmation of your booked spot. This will also act as your payment receipt. No other receipts will be provided. We highly recommend that you purchase cancellation insurance if you are concerned about the possibility of needing to cancel your course as we cannot be responsible for covering the cost of refunds under any circumstances.
