We require a minimum of 24 hours’ notice prior to the start of the class or your treatment if you wish to cancel it or make any changes. If you wish to make any changes to the service you have booked, please contact us and we will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the services, the date on which it will take place or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to cancel the contract for our services (see clause 8- Your rights to end the contract).
6. Our rights to make changes
6.1 We may change the services or the content of any of the classes or the treatments:
(a) to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and
(b) to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements to the services.
These changes will not affect your use of the services.
7. Providing the Services
7.1 When the Services will take place. During the booking process we will confirm the date and time of the class or treatment you have booked. We will also tell you during the order process when and how you can end the contract.
7.2 If you have purchased a course of our classes. We will supply the course for its advertised duration until it is completed or you end the contract as described in clause 8 or we end the contract by written notice to you as described in clause 10. If you are unable to attend one of the classes in the course, we may, at our discretion, offer you an alternative class to attend, based on availability. If you are unable to attend a replacement class then we will not be able to offer a refund unless the reason you are unable to attend one of the classes is our fault, in which case clause 7.7 or clause 8.2 may apply.
7.3 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our ability to provide the classes or treatment is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any services you have paid for but not received.
7.4 If you do not allow us access to provide services. If we have agreed with you that we will provide the services in your home and you do not allow us access to your property to perform the services as arranged (and you do not have a good reason for this) we may charge you additional costs incurred by us as a result. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange access to your property we may end the contract and clause 10.2 will apply.
7.5 What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can provide the services, for example, we require you to provide us with certain information concerning your health prior to the services being performed. We will either ask you for this information at the time of booking or we shall ask you to provide it on arrival for your service start time and you will be required to complete it before we can perform the services. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 10.2 will apply) or we may make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for providing the services late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
7.6 Reasons we may delay the services. We may have to delay delivery of the services to:
(a) deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
(b) implement any changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; or
(c) deal with any problems arising from the location at which we intend to perform the services, including unavailability of the location or its unsuitability for the performance of the services (this will not apply if the location is unavailable due to any issue listed in clause 7.4).
7.7 Your rights if we delay the services. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be delaying provision of the services, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to delay the services for longer than 1 hour from the date and time on which we had agreed to provide the services, we will offer you an alternative date and time for the services to take place. If this alternative date and time is not suitable for you then we shall refund any sums you have paid in advance for the services.
7.8 We may also suspend supply of the services if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the services when you are supposed to (see clause 12.3) and you still do not make payment 48 hours prior to the time on which the services are due to take place, we will not provide the services.
8. Your rights to end the contract
8.1 You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:
(a) If the service is misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 11;
(b) If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 8.2;
(c) If you have just changed your mind about the services, see clause 8.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions;
(d) In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see clause 8.6.
8.2 Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any services which have not been provided. The reasons are:
(a) we have told you about an upcoming change to the services or these terms which you do not agree to (see clause 6);
(b) we have told you about an error in the price or description of the service and you do not wish to proceed;
(c) there is a risk that our ability to perform the services may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control (see clause 7.3);
(d) we have delayed supply of the services for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to delay them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 14 days; or
(e) you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
8.3 Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.
8.4 When you don’t have the right to change your mind. You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:
(a) digital services after you have started to download or stream these;
(b) services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running;
8.5 How long do I have to change my mind? How long you have depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered.
(a) Have you bought services? If so, you have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your booking. However, once we have provided the service you cannot change your mind, even if the period is still running.
(b) Have you bought digital content for download or streaming? If so, you have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your booking, or, if earlier, until you start downloading or streaming. If we delivered the digital content to you immediately, and you agreed to this when ordering, you will not have a right to change your mind.
8.6 Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind (see clause 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for digital content is completed when the product is downloaded or streamed and paid for. A contract for services is completed when we have finished providing the services and you have paid for them. Where you have purchased a course of classes and you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you have not changed your mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately but we will retain the balance of the fees paid for the course as reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.

10. Our rights to end the contract
10.1 We may end the contract if you break it. We may end the contract at any time by writing to you if:
(a) you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment 48 hours prior to the start of your services;
(b) you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the services (including health information we have requested); or
(c) you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us access to your property to supply the services.
