  • In line with the UK’s consumer protection (distance selling) regulations (as amended and including the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013), the terms set out below apply only to purchases made from this website by consumers acting for purposes that are wholly or mainly outside the individual’s business, and do not under any conditions apply to purchases made by businesses, or by individuals acting for or on behalf of businesses, organisations or corporations of any sort.
  • All tangible, movable items (‘goods’) are subject to a delivery charge, which will be raised at the point of sale. Further specific conditions governing delivery charges (including a list of those countries for which risk in the delivery passes to the purchaser on despatch from our facility) are set out here.
  • All ‘prior information’ required under the regulations is provided in each individual product description page on this website.
  • Substitute products will only ever be supplied with the consumer’s prior agreement.
  • RETURNS POLICY - subject to the clauses below, consumers may cancel the purchase of any goods purchased through this site and return the goods to the company for a refund of the purchase price.
  • With the exception of unsealed audio or video recordings or software or electronic subscription products or downloadable templates, documents, books or reports in pdf or other electronic format (digital content, the value in which is inherent in the information and/or analysis that has been delivered and which, by its nature, cannot be returned) in respect of which consumers waive, on receipt of the digital content, any right of contract cancellation, consumers have a statutory right to cancel purchases made from this website at any time up to 14 (fourteen) working days starting the day after delivery .
  • Subject to the point above, consumers who choose to cancel their purchase must inform the Company by writing to the Company’s registered office address, or by emailing servicecentre@itgovernance.co.uk, quoting the electronic purchase sale number, the date of the transaction and the items purchased. This letter must contain a categorical statement that goods that have been delivered have not been copied, duplicated or used in any way.
  • Consumers are responsible for protecting and maintaining goods and must return all goods purchased and in respect of which they wish to exercise their right to cancel, at their own expense and in the same condition as they received them, to the Company’s registered address or such other address as the Company directs.
  • We will refund in full the actual purchase price paid for the returned items, less any appropriate deductions for diminution of the goods prior to return together with the cost of the cheapest method of delivery that was available at the point of purchase. When goods are returned to us or collected by us at our own cost, we will deduct these costs from the amount of money that we will refund to the consumer.

  • Severability

    If any of these terms is at any time held in any jurisdiction to be void, invalid or unenforceable, then it shall be treated as changed or reduced only to the extent minimally necessary to bring it within the laws of that jurisdiction and to prevent it from being void, and it shall be binding in that changed or reduced form. Subject to that, each provision shall be interpreted as severable and shall not in any way affect any other of these terms.

  • No Waiver

    No waiver by the Company, in exercising any right, power or provision hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any other right or of that same right at a future time; nor shall any delay in exercise of any power or right be interpreted as a waiver.

  • Governing Law

    These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and the user explicitly accepts that only the law courts of England have jurisdiction to deal with any matter arising from or in any way, whether directly or indirectly, related to the use of this website and, accordingly, the user explicitly waives all and any rights to bring any action of any sort in relation to this website or to any transaction carried out with it or any data stored on it or provided to it in any court anywhere else in the world.

  • RETURNS

Please obtain a returns number from our sales and support staff by emailing servicecentre@itgovernance.co.uk with details of your cancelled purchase and we will email you with a returns number together with the current returns mailing address.

Training Course Terms and Conditions

  • All IT Governance Ltd (‘ITG’) public training courses, including all those for which we act as booking agents for third-party training providers, are subject to the terms and conditions set out below and, by booking an ITG training course or a third-party training course through us, our customers (‘you’) accept these terms and conditions. All in-house training courses are subject to our General Terms and Conditions.

  • Booking

  • Prices for individual courses are as advertised on our website and are exclusive of VAT. Where required, VAT will be added to the advertised price to arrive at the final total cost. The course price includes trainers’ time, provision of training rooms and necessary facilities, all necessary training materials and morning and/or afternoon refreshments. It does not include travelling or other subsistence costs.
  • Bookings can be made by credit card online via our website (www.itgovernance.co.uk), by telephone (+44 (0)333 800 7000) or by mailing a booking form to fax + 44 1353 662667 or by emailing it to servicecentre@itgovernance.co.uk, our sales office.
  • Bookings, which are in all cases subject to the availability of places on courses and, for third-party courses, on confirmation to us by the training provider that the course will actually run, will be accepted by us and the rights and responsibilities in respect of cancellation will apply from the date at which the booking is made. We reserve the right to refuse admittance to any public course unless:
    • The full purchase price has been paid through the booking page for your chosen course through our website; or
    • a valid purchase order has been received by ITG from a UK local authority, other UK public sector organisation or a company that has an approved credit account with us; and/or
    • the full purchase price has been received by bank transfer to ITG in advance.
  • Delegates will not be permitted to enter the classroom if payment has not been made as set out above. The cancellation terms above shall apply in any case.
  • Once a booking has been accepted, cancellation terms (below) apply.

  • Delegate cancellation charges

    You may cancel your booking without penalty providing ITG receives written notice more than 28 working days prior to the start of the relevant training course. Written cancellations received by us between 28 and 21 days prior to the start of the training course will be subject to a 25% cancellation fee, and if between 20 and 11 days a 50% cancellation fee. No refunds will be given for written cancellations received 10 working days or less before the start of the training course. No refunds will be given if you fail to attend a course for which you have made a booking.

  • Substitutions

    Delegates can be transferred from one course to another or alternative delegates can be substituted for those already booked on a course. For this to happen, the following fees apply: written notification more than 28 working days prior to the start of the relevant training course without penalty; between 28 and 21 days prior to the start of the training course a 25% transfer fee; 20 to 11 days a 50% transfer fee. Transfers 10 days or less in advance of a course will be treated as a cancellation, and will be charged a 100% cancellation fee.

    (N.B. Unless we know the names of delegates five working days in advance, it may not be possible to provide attendance certificates at the end of the training course.)

  • Course cancellations

    ITG (and its selected training partners) reserve the right to cancel training courses but will endeavour not to do so within 10 working days of the start of the course. If a training course is cancelled, ITG’s only obligation to you will be, at our discretion, either to reschedule the cancelled course within four months or to refund in full the fees paid by you for the training course. To the fullest extent permitted by law, ITG will not be liable to you in contract, tort, negligence or otherwise for any loss, damage, costs or expenses of any nature whatsoever incurred or suffered by you as a direct, indirect, special or consequential nature arising from such a cancellation.

  • Course cancellations

    Delegates from outside the UK may have to obtain visas in order to attend a public training course in the UK. We will endeavour to provide you with reasonable support in order for you to obtain a visa, but the actual issue of a visa is beyond our control and we have no liability to you in respect of the issue of such a visa. We will only issue appropriate invitation letters once you have booked and paid for the course(s) you wish to attend and our visa invitation letters will only be in respect of such course(s). If your visa is not issued in time for you to travel to the UK to attend your chosen course we will, at your discretion, arrange for you to attend an alternative course at a later date or we will without deduction refund any course fees paid. We will not under any circumstances be responsible for travel costs you may have incurred. If your visa is issued in sufficient time for you to attend your course but you do not attend, then our standard cancellation clauses will apply, including your liability to make payment in full.

  • Delegate Background

    You are responsible for ensuring that the backgrounds of your delegates are suitable for the training course(s) that they are attending. ITG will not be liable for any refund if delegates decide that the course material is inappropriate for them or where they are unable to participate fully for any reason. In no circumstances will ITG be liable to refund any amount in excess of the agreed and paid price for any training course. This applies in particular (but is not limited) to any travelling, subsistence or consequential expenses of any sort incurred by your delegates.

  • Copyright and intellectual property

    All copyright and other intellectual property rights in or relating to any course materials provided or made available in connection with the course are and remain the sole property of ITG and/or its third-party providers. Course materials may not be used, copied, reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, distributed or transmitted in whole or in part or in any form or by any means, whether electronically, mechanically, or otherwise, or translated into any language, without the prior written permission of ITG and/or its third-party providers.
