We contact you to confirm we’ve received your order and then we contact you again (normally within 48 hours) to confirm we’ve accepted it. 

Sometimes we reject orders

Sometimes we reject orders, for example because the service was mispriced by us. When this happens, we let you know as soon as possible and refund any sums you have paid.

We charge you when you order

However, for some services we take payment at regular intervals, as explained to you during the order process. 

We charge interest on late payments

If we’re unable to collect any payment you owe us we charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the Bank of England base rate from time to time. This interest accrues on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You pay us the interest together with any overdue amount. 

We pass on increases in VAT

If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the service, we adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

We’re not responsible for delays outside our control 

If our supply of your service is delayed by an event outside our control and we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and do what we can to reduce the delay. As long as we do this, we won’t compensate you for the delay, but if the delay is likely to be substantial you can contact us on to end the contract and receive a refund for any services you have paid for in advance, but not received, less reasonable costs we have already incurred.

Changes we can only make if we give you notice and an option to terminate.

You have several options for resolving disputes with us

Our complaints policy. We will do our best to resolve any problems you have with us or our services. If you have a complaint, please email us at jen@theprimaryeducator.co.uk

Resolving disputes without going to court. In the first instance we will attempt to resolve any dispute that you have directly with you. If we are unable to resolve your complaint either party may suggest to the other that alternative dispute resolution  is used. Alternative dispute resolution is an optional process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you’re not satisfied with the outcome you can still go to court. 

You can go to court. These terms are governed by English law and wherever you live you can bring claims against us in the English courts. If you live in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring claims against us in the courts of the country you live in. We can claim against you in the courts of the country you live in.

Other important terms apply to our contract

We can transfer our contract with you, so that a different organisation is responsible for supplying your service. We’ll contact you to let you know if we plan to do this. If you’re unhappy with the transfer you can contact us at jen@theprimaryeducator.co.uk to end the contract within 30 days of us telling you about it and we will refund you any payments you’ve made in advance for services not provided.

You can only transfer your contract with us to someone else if we agree to this. We may not agree to you transferring your contract to another person. We can require the new owner to prove you transferred the service to them.

Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. Nobody else can enforce it and neither of us will need to ask anybody else to sign-off on ending or changing it.

If a court invalidates some of this contract, the rest of it will still apply. If a court or other authority decides that some of these terms are unlawful, the rest will continue to apply.

Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. We might not immediately chase you for not doing something (like paying) or for doing something you’re not allowed to, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do it later.
