1.    Bookings

a.    A confirmation email will be sent at the time of booking for all events that are paid for online.  If an invoice has been requested, a purchase order number must be supplied before the booking can be confirmed.  Please note that we cannot hold any places open and they remain available to book online by another party.  It is the responsibility of the participant to obtain a purchase order number and ensure that this is supplied to us so that we can confirm the booking.  Upon receipt of the purchase order number, provided that the place remains available, we will send a confirmation email within 48 hours.  All confirmations will be sent to the email address provided at the time of booking.  If your organisation does not operate purchase order numbers, you will be required to provide evidence that your funding has been agreed.

b.   Your confirmation email will contain information about how to download your joining instructions and any pre-course reading from your on-line account, but we will also send you a reminder approximately one month before the course is due to take place.

c.    When a booking is incomplete, and no payment has been received, we will use the contact details supplied at the time of registration to contact you regarding your attempted purchase. On successful contact we will either confirm or cancel your order. If we are unable to reach you using the details specified, the booking will remain incomplete and the place will remain in the public domain and can be booked by another party.

d.   If you cannot attend the event, a substitute person may replace you at the event at no additional charge, with the provision that the replacement participant is of a suitable level of experience and knowledge to attend the event in question. This person will be required to register with our online system in order to be added to the event and in order to receive the confirmation information.

e.   We reserve the right to alter or cancel any event or re-schedule any event due to low numbers of participants.  If an alternative event cannot be provided for the cancellation, a full refund will be offered. BPNA will not reimburse travel or accommodation expenses.  BPNA will not offer refunds for cancellations outside our control, including adverse weather conditions, flooding or natural disasters.

f.     If a participant does not meet the required level or hold the appropriate knowledge or job role as specified in the course criteria, BPNA reserves the right to cancel or transfer the place.  If an alternative event cannot be provided for the cancellation, a full refund will be offered.  BPNA will not offer reimburse travel or accommodation in this instance.

 

2.    Fees

a.    All fees quoted on the website are correct at the time of purchase.

3.    Transfer and Cancellation Policy

We understand that occasionally people need to cancel their bookings at short notice. The BPNA is a not for profit organisation and will endeavour to refund fees whenever possible. However, this is not always possible at short notice and the following terms will apply:
