Summary of your key legal rights

This is a summary of your key legal rights. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.

If your product is goods, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your product your legal rights entitle you to the following:

  • Up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get an immediate refund.
  • Up to six months: if your goods can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund, in most cases.
  • Up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back.

If your product is digital content, namely a membership to The Applied Technique Hub or other online programme or course, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says digital content must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality:

  • if your digital content is faulty, you're entitled to a repair or a replacement.
  • if the fault can't be fixed, or if it hasn't been fixed within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience, you can get some or all of your money back
  • if you can show the fault has damaged your device and we haven't used reasonable care and skill, you may be entitled to a repair or compensation 

 

  1. PRICE AND PAYMENT
  • The price of the product will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct.
  • It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract and refund you any sums you have paid.
  • We accept payment via Stripe for digital products. You must pay for the products at the point of sale and before the content is made available to you.
  • If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know.

  • If you leave the membership and then return at a later date, you will pay the price the membership is being offered at, at the time you rejoin. 

 

  1. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU
  • If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
  • We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.
