Where it has been agreed to accept payment by instalments, the Price remains due and payable at dispatch, and any failure to make any instalment payment within three days of its due date shall, in addition to any other remedies the Company may have, entitle the Company to:

  • If you do not sign your Direct Debit for within 7 days of purchase we may suspend your support and the full amount will fall due.
  • Should a debt recovery agency be utilised to recover outstanding monies, the cost of that may be added to the outstanding balance.  We may also lodge the failure to pay with the main Credit Reference Agencies which may affect your ability to obtain credit in the future.

Waiver

A waiver of any right under this Agreement is only effective if it is in writing and it applies only to the circumstances for which it is given.  No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement or by law shall constitute a waiver of that (or any other) right or remedy, nor preclude or restrict its further exercise.  No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall preclude or restrict the further exercise of that (or any other) right or remedy.

Unless specifically provided otherwise, rights arising under this Agreement are cumulative and do not exclude rights provided by law.

If you are still not happy or if your complaint is regarding another support issue, please write to your tutor outlining your problem, and he/she will answer in writing within seven working days.
