Bookings – Contract of Sale
When you make a booking through constructionscheme.com, you will be sent an e-mail confirming receipt of your booking and containing the details of your booking. Your booking represents an offer to us to purchase, which is accepted by us when we send an e-mail confirmation to you to confirm the course booking. It is essential that you provide us with a current e-mail address, which can be used to communicate with you on any matters relating to your booking. It is your responsibility to advise us of any changes to your email address or other contact details.
There are three types of bookings as explained below:
• Bookings – Subject to Confirmation: Bookings that are Subject to Confirmation by Training Providers are not continuously updated with availability by Providers as spaces are booked. Therefore, there is a chance that your booking may not be successful, particularly if the course date is very near. Should your initial booking be unsuccessful we will, wherever possible, offer an alternative to best match your requirements, but you are not obliged to accept an alternative.
• Confirmed Free Space Bookings: Confirmed Free Space Bookings relate to courses that are updated with Availability Status. Availability is confirmed at the time of booking when booking one of these courses on the constructionscheme.com website.
• Payment Details: If you choose to pay by Cheque or BACS, the ‘Payment Details’ section of the Confirmation of course booking should be used as your Proforma invoice. This is for immediate payment and will need to be paid in full at least 30 days prior to the course start date. Making the payment to Construction Scheme by the deadline dates is your responsibility and although we will chase the payment, we will not accept responsibility if you fail to make payment by 30 days prior to the course start date. If these conditions are not met, Construction Scheme reserves the right to cancel the place on the course with the trainer and you will be liable for cancellation fees as set out in the section below and any additional costs incurred by Construction Scheme for this cancellation.
• E-learning/Distance Learning Courses: Unless otherwise agreed, all fees for e-Learning and distance learning courses are payable in advance.
