18. PRICE AND PAYMENT
18.1 Where to find the price for the Course. The price of the Course (which includes any applicable VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We use our best efforts to ensure that the price of the Course advised to you is correct. However please see clause 18.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Course you order.
18.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we provide the Course, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Course in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
18.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, a Course may be incorrectly priced or charged. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the Course’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the Course’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any materials provided to you.
18.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. You must use one of the available payment means on the Website to pay for your order. You must pay the Purchase Price to place an order with us. We are not responsible or liable for third party payment providers, and by electing to use a payment provider, you do so at your own risk.
18.5 Payment plans. If you opt to use one of our Payment Plans, you will be charged 50% of the Purchase Price on order, and the second 50% will be collected a month after your enrollment date. If the payment fails, we will try to collect payment 3 more times - on the 3rd, 7th and 14th day after the first attempt. If you do not update your credit/debit card information within this time for a successful payment, then you will be automatically unenrolled from the course. You will receive a receipt after you are charged.
