TERMS & CONDITIONS
For the supply of Services of:
(Osiris Training & Consultancy Ltd via Osiris College)

1.                Interpretation

1.1             "Consumer" shall have the meaning ascribed in Section 12 of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977.

1.2              "Customer" means any person who purchases Services from the Supplier specifically when
                    the Supplier is acting in the role of Osiris College.

1.3              "Proposal" means a statement of work, quotation or other similar document describing the
                    services to be provided by the Supplier.

1.4              "Services" means the services specified in the Proposal.

1.5              "Supplier" in this sense means Osiris Training & Consultancy Ltd of Wellesley House, Duke of Wellington
                    Wellington Avenue, London, SE18 6SS (registered address) when acting as Osiris College in
                   supplying "Services". Please note that this is our official registered address and is NOT a
                   correspondence address. Our correspondence address is supplied when booking a course.

1.6              "Terms & Conditions" means the terms and conditions of supply set out in this document and any
                    special terms and conditions agreed in writing by the supplier.                

2                  General

2.1               These terms and Conditions shall apply to all contracts for the supply of Services by the Supplier to the
                    Customer and shall prevail over any other documentation or communication from the Customer.

 2.2              Any variation to these Terms and Conditions shall be inapplicable unless agreed in writing by the
                    Supplier.

2.3               Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall prejudice any condition or warranty, express or implied,
                    or any legal remedy to which the Supplier may be entitled in relation to the Services, by virtue of any
                    statute, law or regulation.

2.4               Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall affect the Customer's statutory rights as a Consumer.

3                  The Order

3.1               Proposals attached to these Terms and Conditions comprise Services (training courses) which
                    remain valid and bookable up from the moment they are publicly advertised to 72 hours before the start
                    date of the course (if course places remain available).                   

3.2               The Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the Proposal by placing an Order with the Supplier
                    ("the Order") within the period specified by 3.1.

3.3               All Orders for the Services shall be deemed to be acceptance of the Proposal pursuant to these
                    Terms and Conditions.

4.                 Price and Payment

4.1               The price of the Services is as specified in the Proposal (see Course Fees page) and is inclusive of VAT
                    and any applicable charges outlined in the Proposal.

4.2               Payment of the price shall be as specified in the Proposal and in terms of 4.3, 4.5 and 4.6 below.

4.3               Late Booking charges will apply to any purchase of the Proposal 28 days or less to the course
                    start date - this charge can be waived at the discretion of the Directors.

4.4               No purchase of Services will be accepted later than 72 hours before course start date even if course
                    places are available.

4.5               If the Customer fails to make payment within 14 days of it becoming due, the Supplier shall be entitled to
                    either cancel the Booking or charge interest on the outstanding sum at a rate of 5% per 14 days on the
                    outstanding amounts. However, all course payments must be paid in full by the end of 28 days from the
                    day the Invoice was issued to the customer. The only exception to this is when a customer books
                    28 days or less to the desired Services (course date) in which case the whole payment becomes due
                    immediately and Invoices will be expected to be paid upon issue. If an Invoice remains unpaid the
                    Supplier may cancel the place (notice of cancellation will be given).

4.6               Schedule of Payment: because customers book courses at different times of the year and the same
                    customer may book on more than one course, it is the practice of Osiris College to require up front
                    payment (as detailed above 4.3 and 4.5) whether the customer is a private individual or an organisation.
                    This does not affect the Supplier's Cancellation Policy as set out below in 8.

5.                Customer Obligations - to enable the Supplier to perform its obligations the Customer shall:

5.1               Co-operate with the Supplier from the time of Booking through to the end of the Services purchased.

5.2               Provide the Supplier with any information reasonably required by the Supplier.

5.3               Obtain all necessary permissions, licences and consents which may be required before the
                    commencement of Services, the cost of which shall be the sole responsibility of the Customer; and

5.4               Comply with all such other requirements as may be set out in the Proposal or otherwise agreed
                    between the parties.

6.                Supplier Obligations

6.1              The Supplier shall perform the services with reasonable skill and care and to a reasonable standard
                   in accordance with recognised standards and codes of practice.

6.2              The Supplier accepts all responsibility for the condition of equipment used in the performance of the
                   Services and shall ensure that any materials supplied shall be free of defects.

6.3              The Supplier provides the following guarantee in relation to the Services carried out:
                    "If a Customer who has purchased Services is totally dissatisfied following delivery of those
                     Services, and has fully recorded their dissatisfaction on the post-service Evaluation, then Osiris
                    Training & Consultancy Ltd, acting as Osiris College, will refund the Booking fee in full in respect of
                    such an individual".
This is known as our "Osiris College: Money Back Guarantee" and will also
                    apply automatically to any Osiris College customer who, for any reason, is asked to leave training before
                    its end.

7.                Limitation of Liability

7.1              Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall exclude or limit the liability of the Supplier for death or
                   personal injury, however the Supplier shall not be liable for any direct loss or damage suffered by the
                   Customer howsoever caused, as a result of any negligence, breach of contract, misrepresentation or
                   otherwise.

7.2              For the avoidance of doubt, time shall not be of the essence and the Supplier shall incur no liability
                   to the Customer in respect of any failure to complete the Services by any agreed completion date.

8.                Cancellations

8.1              The following Cancellation Policies shall apply:

   There are two cancellation policies in fact:

   a) What happens if the Supplier (Osiris College) has to cancel?

   b) What is the procedure if the Customer has to cancel?

    Answer a) The Supplier always hopes never to cancel a Proposal (course) but sometimes 
    things happen and go wrong and we may have to contact you to announce that the course
    isn't going ahead. Since 1998, when Osiris formed, this has never happened. But there is
    always a first time.

    However, should we have to cancel we will certainly tell you why and offer to place you as a
    priority placement on the next available training or, if you prefer, you will get a full refund
   
without any equivocation whatsoever.

    Answer b) If the Customer cancels before 28 days of the training you will get a full refund.

    If the Customer cancels 28 days to 16 days before the training we will refund you your full
    payment minus £30 administration fee.

    If the Customer cancels 15 days to 0 days before the training the full fee is payable.

8.2               All cancellations must be in writing and communicated by email to
                    osiriscollege@osiris-training.co.uk.
In exceptional circumstances, and at the discretion of the
                    Supplier, cancellations may be accepted by telephone (you will be provided a contact telephone number
                    in your course joining instructions).

8.5               Complaints

                    All complaints should be via the Complaints Procedure as set out on this website but note should be
                    taken of 6.3 above regarding our guarantee concerning Services.

9.                 Force Majeure

                    Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform any of its obligations if the delay or
                    failure results from events or circumstances outside its reasonable control, including but not limited
                    to acts of God, strikes, lock-outs, accidents, war, fire, breakdown of plant or machinery or shortage
                    of raw materials from a natural source of supply, and the party shall be entitled to a reasonable
                    extension of its obligations.

10.              Severance

                   If any term or provision of these Terms and Conditions is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any
                   reason by any Court of competent jurisdiction such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the
                   provisions hereof shall continue in full force and effect as if these Terms and Conditions had been agreed
                   with the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision eliminated.

11.              Governing Law

                   These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
                   law of England and parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.

       The above Terms & Conditions are not negotiable.
