Terms, Conditions & Payment Terms

Amount

The amount you must pay us is the fee described at the point of booking, or any other amount we have expressly agreed with you (including in a Proposal accepted by you).

Payment

Unless we have expressly agreed otherwise (including any Proposal accepted by you) Bookings for Public Courses (Virtual or Face to Face) must be paid within 7 days of invoicing you OR prior to the training taking place. In House Training (Virtual or Face to Face) invoices must be paid within 7 days and/or prior to training dates being agreed.

Invoices must be paid before you or your delegates attend any course which we invoice you for – even if that takes place before the end of the periods described above.

Unfortunately, without payment, you or your delegates may not be allowed on the course, and you will still owe the full amount. We will not be able to send joining details for the course until the invoice is paid.

Payment Methods

We accept the following payment methods:

• Bank Transfer OR Card Payment

Leadership Through Data uses Stripe to provide a Card Payment Platform to our Delegates for those wishing to pay by (Business Credit) Card. A link will be sent to pay with our Invoice.

Please note that charges vary between Countries and some of these are indicated below.

Australia 1.75% + 20 cents per transaction

UK 1.90% + 20p per transaction (Business Credit Cards Only)

USA  2.9% + 30 cents per transaction

Canada  (Paying in USD) 4.4% +30 cents per transaction

Canada (Paying in CAD) 5.4% +30 cents per transaction

In addition to the above, Stripe also makes additional charges for Payments made with non-domestic cards and these vary between 1.5% in the USA and 3.25% in the UK.

In the UK & USA the charges will be calculated and included on your Invoice.

In Australia you will be presented with these charges at the time of payment.

For any further information please contact us.

Late Payment

If you pay us late then:

• We reserve the right to impose a late payment administration fee of $50;
• You will also pay us interest on the late amount at an annual rate of 6.47% above the NAB base rate, for each day the payment is late (both before and after any judgement concerning that debt);
• We are entitled to suspend provision of our services to you (including not allowing you or your delegates to join any courses) until any additional fees have been paid.

Changes by You – Cancellations or Postponement

If you cancel any course (or any delegate’s attendance on a course) for any reason, you will be subject to the following costs to cover our venue (where applicable), administration, staffing and opportunity costs (based on how long before the course start date you cancel) You will be invoiced separately for any cancellation fees that are incurred if your invoice has not been settled.

No refund is payable for a cancellation made within the calendar month immediately prior to the training course. In this event the full sum shown on the invoice remains payable.

If you don’t attend your course that you are booked onto for any reason you will not entitled to a refund. If you wish to attend another course you will have to pay the full fee again plus any fees shown above.

In House Courses

This may apply where we are required to comply with relevant government or other official guidance, or restrictions on travel, and this is beyond our control. We will discuss this with you.

Any quote or proposal can be accepted by a return email of agreement. That acceptance will be legally binding. If no start date for the training has been set out in the acceptance, then this will be agreed upon at a later date and will not affect the requirement for payment to be made.
