Booking a lesson indicates acceptance of the following full Booking Terms & Conditions:

1.1     Bookings made through my website, and my and your rights and obligations in relation to such bookings, are governed by these terms and conditions.

1.2     You will be asked to give your express agreement to these terms and conditions before you place an order on my website.

1.3     This document does not affect any statutory rights you may have as a consumer.

 

2.       Interpretation

2.1     In these terms and conditions:

(a)      "I" means Kathleen Savage (and "me and "my" should be construed accordingly);

(b)      "you" means my customer or prospective customer under these terms and conditions (and "your" should be construed accordingly);

(c)      "booking" means a booking in respect of singing lessons, which may be made by you under these terms and conditions; and

(d)      "force majeure event" means an event that is, or a series of related events that are, beyond my reasonable control.

 

3.         Membership

3.1       Membership of my website is by invitation.

3.2       Once you are a member, both you and I have the right to terminate the membership by giving 7 days notice in writing, using the email address published on the site. If membership is cancelled, any future lessons booked under that basis will be automatically cancelled and refunded.

 

4.         Booking process

4.1     The advertising of bookings on my website constitutes an "invitation to treat" rather than a contractual offer.

4.2     No contract will come into force between you and me unless and until I accept your order in accordance with the procedure set out in this Section 4.

4.3     To make a booking through my website, the following steps must be taken: you must click "make a booking" in relation to the relevant event; as an existing member, you must enter your login details; once you are logged in, you must consent to these terms and conditions; you will make payment by credit or debit card or PayPal; I will then send you a confirmation email (at which point your order will become a binding contract) or I will confirm by email that I am unable to meet your order.

4.4     You will have the opportunity to review and correct booking errors prior to clicking the ‘pay now’ button.

 

5.       Prices

5.1     My prices are quoted on my website on the 'How It Works' page.

5.2     I will from time to time change the prices quoted on my website, but this will not affect contracts that have previously come into force.

7.2     I may change the time and date and/or location of an event that is the subject of a booking by giving to you written notice of the change at least 48 hours before the event is due to begin. If I notify you of a change to a booking under this Section 7.2, you shall have a right to cancel the booking and receive a full refund of the price paid in respect of the booking, providing that your notice of cancellation must be received by me within 24 hours following my notification of the change. If your notice of cancellation is received after the end of that period, you will not be entitled to a refund under this Section 7.2

9.1     Any rights you may have under this Section 9 are additional to your statutory rights.
