Minor changes to the Courses.

We may change the Course and these terms:

• To reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;

From time to time certain courses and/or study materials may be superseded by new legislation, new syllabi, or the issue of new regulations. If this arises then we may produce courses covering the new material. For the avoidance of doubt, the purchase of a current Course does not as part of the original purchase price entitle access to future revised courses and further amounts may be due.

The costs of delivery of study materials will be as displayed to you on our website at www.seperacollege.com

During the enrolment process, we will let you know when we will provide the Course to you. For study materials, we will provide e-books free of charge on the Sepera College study platform, however, if you wish to purchase paper books additional fees are applicable.

If the provision of the Courses is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any part of the Course you have paid for but not received.

• Deal with technical problems or make technical changes;
• Make changes to a Course as notified by us to you (see clause 5); and
• Complete any disciplinary procedure.

We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending the provision of a Course unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. You may contact us to end the contract for a Course if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for part of the Course that you have paid for but not received.

If you do not pay us for a Course when you are supposed to and you still do not make payment within 7 days of us reminding you that payment is due, or if your sponsoring employer or third party funder does not pay us, we may suspend the provision of the Course until you have paid us the outstanding amounts.

We will contact you to tell you we are suspending the provision of the Course.

All intellectual property rights (including copyright) in a Course or other learning materials belong to us, or another company in the same group of companies as us.

We will allow you to use the applicable study materials in a personal capacity to study the Course. That permission will end when this Contract ends. You agree that you will only use any study materials and/ or digital content for study purposes and that you will not copy, make available, transmit, reproduce, sell, licence, distribute, publish or broadcast or otherwise circulate the materials.

It is your responsibility to register and/or become a member of the relevant professional body for your Course;

You can always end your contract with us.
Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have applied for, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:

If you have just changed your mind about a Course, You will be entitled to a refund if you cancel within the 7 day Cancellation Period.
There is a risk that the Course may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control as provided
We have suspended provision of the Course for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend it for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 30 days; or
You have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.

When you don’t have the right to change your mind.
You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:

• Digital content after you have started to download or stream these; and
• Services, once these have been completed, even if the Cancellation Period is still running; and
• Sealed audio or sealed video recordings or sealed computer software, once these products are unsealed after you receive them.

We will refund you the price you paid for the Course including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the fees, as described below.

If you are exercising your right to change your mind:

We may reduce your refund of the fees (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the study materials, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop, such as where the item has not just been checked but used. If you have marked or written on the study materials, they will no longer have any value for us and so we will be unable to issue a refund. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the study materials and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
We may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it was supplied, ending with the time when you told us you had changed your mind. The amount will be in proportion to what has been supplied, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract. In the case of a refund for an exam booking where you have not sat the exam, we will deduct an amount up to full exam cost if we have already administered your booking with the relevant institute. If we delivered digital content to you immediately, and you agreed to this when you applied, you will not receive a refund for that part of the Course and you will be deducted fees for cost of e-books.

Sepera College Membership fee is not refundable even when you change your mind and do not want to study with us.

If you do not make any payment to us by the due date, we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of Barclays Bank from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

Nothing in this policy affects the student’s statutory consumer rights.

We may transfer this agreement to someone else.
We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happened and we will ensure that the transfer does not affect your rights under this contract.

Courses are not transferable between students.

Students must not share any online content with nor make their online passwords available to any third parties including other students.
We reserve the right to terminate access to your online account in these circumstances or where we detect any suspicious or unusual activity related to your account.

Nobody else has any rights under this contract. Unless you are sponsored by your employer, this contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.

If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force.
Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

Even if we delay enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later.
If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Courses, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings.
By agreeing to these terms and conditions, you are agreeing that these terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Courses in the English courts. This is the case even if you live outside of the European Economic Area.

You should satisfy yourself that you will not be in breach of any law where you are resident if this is outside of the UK.
When ordering study materials for delivery (other than in the UK), you may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the goods reach the specified destination. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country, so you should contact your local customs office for further information.
