2.6 Except where Courses are sold together by OCAT in one bundle for a single price, where your order consists of multiple Courses, each individual Course will be treated by OCAT as a separate offer to purchase. Acceptance of your offer to purchase one or more of the Courses will not be an acceptance by OCAT of your offer to purchase any other Courses which make up your order.
2.7 OCAT reserves the right to withdraw at any time Courses advertised for sale on the Website and/or the Brochure.
- Payment Terms
3.1 The Fee for any Course at any given time will be displayed on the Website and the Brochure and/or will be notified to you by a OCAT Customer Services representative. Fees are quoted in pounds sterling, exclusive of VAT and exclusive of any Additional Charges.
3.2 If you purchase a Course on the Website:
3.2.1 the Fee including VAT and any delivery charges payable in relation to delivery of Study Materials, if applicable, will be shown prior to completion of the online transaction; and
3.2.2 OCAT will debit the Fee from your credit card or debit card on or after the day you make an order for a Course. Credit or debit card details are collected over a secure link and an authorised amount verification is taken immediately. At the time of collection of these details you will be asked if you would like to register these card details with us to facilitate future orders. If you have agreed to your card details being stored, they will be stored securely by OCAT and/or our third party payment service providers and, unless you tell us otherwise, we will use these card details for payments in connection with this and any future order you may place with OCAT. Your order will be confirmed only upon receipt of the Fee in cleared funds by OCAT and will be subject to acceptance of your offer to purchase by OCAT in accordance with Clause 2.5.
3.3 If you are ordering the Course by telephone, email, fax or post:
3.3.1 the Fee is either set out in the Brochure and/or on the Website and/or will be notified to you by a OCAT Customer Services representative. Delivery charges payable in relation to delivery of Study Materials, if applicable, are order specific and may vary, the correct delivery charges for your particular order can be confirmed by contacting a OCAT Customer Services representative;
3.3.2 if you are paying for the Fee on your own account, payment is due from you immediately by either credit or debit card or cheque. Your order will be subject to acceptance by OCAT of your offer to purchase in accordance with Clause 2.5; and
3.3.3 if you choose to pay by selecting the “invoice your company” option (not available for orders placed by telephone) and your employer has an account with OCAT Credit Control, OCAT will review your order and invoice your employer directly in accordance with Clause 3.7. Your order will be subject to (i) receipt by OCAT of your signed order form in accordance with Clause 3.7.1 and (ii) acceptance by OCAT of your offer to purchase in accordance with Clause 2.5.
3.4 In the unlikely event that due to a technical error, the amount of the Fee displayed on the Website or in the Brochure is incorrect, or the Fee has been changed on the Website but the Brochure is out of date, OCAT will notify you as soon as it reasonably can. If the correct amount of the Fee is higher than the amount displayed on the Website and/or in the Brochure, OCAT will contact you to notify you of the correct Fee, so you can decide whether or not you wish to continue with your order of the Course at the increased Fee.
3.5 Pursuant to Clause 3.4 if you decide you want to cancel your order OCAT will give you a full refund in respect of any amount you have already paid in accordance with Clause 4. If the correct Fee is lower, OCAT will refund you the difference only between the amount which you have paid and the correct Fee payable.
3.6 The provision of the Course is contingent upon OCAT having received cleared funds from you or your employer (if you select to invoice your employer) in respect of the Fee for the relevant Course. Without prejudice to OCAT’s rights and remedies under these Terms, if any sum payable is not paid in cleared funds on or before the due date (being the date the Course is booked if you are responsible for paying the Fee or within 30 days from the date of the invoice if your employer is responsible for paying the Fee, save that payment will be due immediately if booking is made less than 30 days before the Course start date), OCAT reserves the right, forthwith and at OCAT’s sole discretion, to suspend the provision to you and refuse you entry to the relevant Course.
3.7 Where you choose to invoice your employer for the payment of the Fee, the following additional terms shall apply:
3.7.1 Upon receiving your order form signed by the training manager or other individual designated by your employer, OCAT will send an invoice to your employer within 3-5 working days;
3.7.2 Full payment in cleared funds of the Fee is due from your employer within 30 days from the date of the invoice (14 days for Professional Development courses);
3.7.3 Payment is due immediately if booking is made less than 30 days before the Course start date;
3.7.4 You and your employer are joint and severally liable for all unpaid invoices; and
3.7.5 You authorise OCAT to release to your employer details of your attendance, marks, exam results, general progress reports and any other information reasonably requested by your employer and which OCAT in its sole discretion considers appropriate for it to provide.
3.8 The Fee excludes any Additional Charges which shall be payable by you on and when they are due. Where, in addition to Fees, OCAT is required to collect applicable examination fees on behalf of a relevant professional body, these will be paid by OCAT on your behalf to that professional body and be included as an Additional Charge to you.
3.9 No Study Materials will be dispatched to you by OCAT or be made available for collection, unless OCAT has received full payment in cleared funds from you or your employer (including payment of delivery charges where applicable) in respect of the related Fee.
