Terms

STANDARD TERMS & CONDITIONS OF HOLISTIC EQUITATION LTD

These terms of use (“Terms”) represent an agreement between you and Holistic Equitation ltd (“we,” “us,”, “Holistic Equitation” or the “Company”) and govern your use of our websites including derekandjo.comholisticequitation.com and schoolingmadesimple.com collectively among others (the “Sites”) and any products or services made available from time to time by means of a password protected Programme Library area within any of these sites (the “Products”). We refer to the Sites and the Products collectively in these Terms as the “Services.” By using any of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by and comply with these Terms.

1. SERVICES

Holistic Equitation grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, revocable license to use the Services, including the Products (subject to payment, where applicable), for your personal use only, in accordance with these Terms. We reserve all rights that we do not expressly grant in these Terms. Holistic Equitation reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Sites (or any part thereof) with or without notice. The Company shall maintain a password-protected Programme Library area containing Products comprising video lessons, audio lessons and other information. Subject to payment of any applicable fees (and in the case of subscription-based products, any applicable timescales) Holistic Equitation grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, revocable license to access the Products you have purchased for as long as the Programme Library area exists. In the event that the Company decides to discontinue supporting any Product or to close the Programme Library area it shall use reasonable endeavours to provide clients who remain in good standing with at least 30 days notice and the facility to download the core resources of Products already purchased. You agree that Holistic Equitation will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Services other than as described above. We have no obligation to retain any of Your Account or Submitted Content for any period of time beyond what may be required by applicable law.

2. PAYMENT

You may purchase licenses to certain Products as specified on the Sites. When you make a purchase, you authorise us to charge the credit or debit card you provide (on a periodic basis if appropriate, depending on which payment plan you elect to use).

Prices of the Services are specified on our Sites and confirmed on the checkout page. We may change our prices any time, but that will not affect the prices for confirmed orders.

Payment Plan Policy: By selecting any payment plan for a Product that is not identified as a Monthly Membership Product, you are agreeing to complete all of your payments, on time, and in full until all of your monthly payments are fulfilled. By selecting such payment plan for any Product (other than a Monthly Membership Product) you accept that this is NOT a member subscription which you can cancel at any time. You receive the entire programme and all of its resources upfront as an act in good faith from the Company. We fully reserve the right to require you to complete all of your payments. 

If you do not make any payment due to us by the due date for payment, we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 3% a year above the base lending rate from time to time of Santander Bank. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

If we do not hear from you within 30 days of the initial failed payments we reserve the right to remove you (even if temporarily) from Schooling Made Simple, Schooling Made Simple Next Level and/or Schooling Made Simple Mentorship programme and their resources. Kindly respond to email inquiries about why your payments are failing and when you plan to fulfil them to avoid this from happening.

You cannot attend group calls when your payment has defaulted.

3. REFUNDS & CANCELLING

If you have purchased a Training Product (that is not a monthly or annual recurring membership) from us as a consumer you have the right to cancel this agreement within 14 days of the date of purchase by emailing us at [email protected]. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired. If you cancel this agreement, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you in relation to the purchase of said Training Product within 14 days after the date on which we were informed about your decision to cancel this Contract.

You can cancel any ongoing Monthly Membership Product by doing so prior to the next applicable monthly or annual billing date.
