Cancellation by us and changes to courses
7.1. Whilst every effort is made to avoid changes to the courses we offer, we reserve the right to suspend, reschedule or cancel courses at any time. In such circumstances, we shall use reasonable endeavours to offer an alternative date within 12 months and only where this is not reasonably possible we will offer you a credit or a refund. We will not be liable for any costs or losses arising from cancellation or rescheduling, including without limitation liability travel and accommodation costs or other consequential or indirect losses.

7.3 Whilst courses have a designated Named Geek, we reserve the right, in certain circumstances, to change such Named Geeks due to unavailability, illness and/or circumstances outside of our control.
7.4 For Sales Club events, whilst we also make every effort to avoid changes to scheduled events, courses and activities, it is likely that some rescheduling will occur over the course of your membership, due to factors such as venue closure, Named Geek illnesses, weather conditions and business priorities.

We reserve the right, without liability or an obligation to refund sums, to exclude you and any delegates from any course, event or activity after its commencement if in our absolute discretion we consider that you are impeding the provision of the course or other of our activities, or your presence is bringing or threatening to bring us into disrepute.

Alternatively, you may elect a different course by the same Named Geek which is scheduled within 12 months of the original course date, or wait until the same Named Geek delivers the same course again. We make no guarantee as to when the course may be repeated by the same, or other, Named Geek.
