Description and pricing of Training

Although we make every effort to ensure the prices listed are correct, mistakes may sometimes be made. If a mistake is discovered in the price of the training that you have booked prior to confirmation of your booking, we will tell you and give you the option of either reconfirming your booking at the correct price or cancelling your booking. In this instance, if we are unable to contact you or we receive no reply from you your booking will be cancelled. PEDCO Managed Process Services reserves the right to change prices listed without notice. PEDCO Managed Process Services also reserves the right to refuse to supply to any individual or company.

Provisional bookings

When booking a Training online, acknowledgement of the booking request is emailed within 2 working days the request is received by PEDCO Managed Process Services. Where a booking made online, by email or over the telephone is not accompanied by full payment or a formal purchase order (sent either by post or by email), the booking will be deemed to be provisional (“Provisional Booking”). Provisional Bookings will only be held until 25 working days prior to commencement of the Course, after this any Provisional Bookings will be cancelled.

When payment has been received in full, or a formal purchase order has been provided (either by email or by post), the individuals’ place on the Course will then be confirmed and a binding contract will have been entered into between PEDCO Managed Process Services and the booking party. Please refer further to the “How to pay” section below.

PEDCO Managed Process Services reserves the right to amend or cancel any Training, Training times, dates or published prices.

Any travel or accommodation costs incurred are entirely the delegate’s responsibility. PEDCO Managed Process Services does not accept any liability for reimbursement of any costs incurred whatsoever in relation to its training or events. Where a Training has been cancelled, delegates will be offered an alternative date for the same Training, a credit towards another Training or a refund.
