Trading Terms and Privacy Policy
Terms of Trading of Institute for Meridian
Psychotherapy
We reserve the right to
make changes to the availability, content, fees, or any other
details of any service that we provide at any time. The mention of a service on
this website is not a guarantee of availability. If we receive a payment and
the service or product is not available, a full refund will be made.
We reserve the right to refuse admission to any grade of membership without
giving a reason.
Members
of the Institute and members of the public are responsible for their own
conduct. The Institute is not responsible for the behaviour or actions of any
member or for the consequences of any contact with any member.
In
compliance with the EU Distance Selling Directive and Consumer Protection
(Distance Selling) Regulations 2000.
This law
and the rights detailed below apply to all transactions within the UK for
customers in the UK and the EU, where the customer does not meet the seller in
person.
Sales from
one business to another are not controlled by these regulations. If you are a
self-employed professional, and you have enrolled for
professional purposes, we interpret that to be a
business-to-business transaction.
The law
allows you a 7-day "cooling off" period. During that time you have the right to
cancel your contract and to obtain a full refund. The 7 days will begin from
the time you receive our confirmation of your enrolment. During that time you
may cancel without a reason. Let us know by the quickest means: email, fax,
telephone (we will return the call if you reach our voicemail and leave your
number - but landlines only please, no mobiles.) Please also confirm your
request by letter sent by regular mail to our postal address in London. If you
claim a refund within the 7-day "cooling off" period we will let you have that
refund within 30 days.
Any refunds
of moneys paid by credit/debit card will be refunded to the same card. Paypal
payments will be refunded via Paypal. Non-card payments will be refunded by the
most convenient means at our discretion - normally by cheque or bank transfer.
Deductions for currency conversion and bank charges may be made to any refunds
in non-UK currency.
However,
the regulations allow that if the order is for specially personalised goods, the
right to cancel a purchase does not apply. If, for example, we have arranged an
award comprising a personalised certificate, or you are ordering a personalised
or made to order product the "cooling off" period will not apply.
If you are
outside the UK or EU the Distance Selling Regulations do not apply and there is
no statutory requirement for a refund.
