About Us

If you need to contact me, please e-mail lois@eartherealofyorkshire.co.uk or call on 01943 435910.

Making a contract with us

When you book a course or treatment session with me, by phone, Internet or in person, you are making an offer to buy my services. I will send you an e-mail to confirm that I have received your booking and request a deposit (see below) if the booking is direct with me, or request that you book through the London Therapists site if you are booking onto one of the courses I teach for them (see below for their terms.)

If booking direct with me, a deposit of 50% of the total course or treatment fee is payable on booking. The remainder is payable when you come to the course or treatment. This is negotiable if you wish to pay in instalments: please contact me to discuss this option. Payment can be made via PayPal, by cheque to Earthereal of Yorkshire, or by cash in person.

Cancellation and returns

If you cancel a booked course or treatment session, the following penalties will apply:

Up to 1 week beforehand: your deposit will be returned less a nominal £20 admin fee.

Less than 1 week beforehand: your deposit will not be returned.

If you need to change the date of your booking for a genuine reason, please contact me as soon as possible to discuss it. I will do my best to arrange an alternative date with you, but reserve the right to impose the penalties outlined above if none of my available dates suit you.

If I have to cancel a course for any reason, I will negotiate an alternative date with you at no extra cost. If for any reason this is unacceptable to you, I will refund your deposit within 28 days less a nominal £10 admin fee. I will only cancel a course in exceptional circumstances and if at all possible will give 48 hours' notice.

In the event of any student behaving improperly, they will be asked to leave the course immediately and no monies will be refunded.

Courses taught on behalf of London Therapists

The following T and Cs apply to these courses: please check the London Therapists website for more details.

Fees, Registration and Refunds

1.  No refund of fees or transfer onto a later course can be offered if you fail to attend on the day of your course for any reason (hospital/doctor/dentist appointment, domestic crisis, travel delays, cold/flu, change of mind, lack of child care etc.,).  Fees are not refundable or transferable in this instance unless exceptional circumstances apply.  To ensure fairness these terms apply to everyone, and there are good reasons for them.  Unlike many training providers we will run a course, with the overheads that this incurs, even if we have very low student numbers - you may be one of only two students booked onto a date, for example. In addition our courses are very popular, and it's quite likely that we turned away another student who could have taken your place.

2. Cancelling or transferring a course in advance will incur the following penalty:

  • Courses cancelled or transferred up to 48 hours before the course date: 100% of fee
  • Courses cancelled or transferred up to 7 days before the course date: 75% of fee
  • Courses cancelled or transferred up to 14 days before the course date: 50% of fee.

3.  We rarely have to cancel a course, but if we do we will transfer you onto the next date that's convenient for you at no extra charge.  We will always give you at least 48 hours notice of a cancellation, and if no other date suits you we will issue you with a full refund of all monies paid as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than 30 days from the date of your booking.

4.  Bookings are taken online via our website, and the full fee is payable in advance to reserve a place.  A booking may be made by telephone, by or on behalf of a student who does not have internet access, at our discretion.

5.  You are accepted onto a course on the understanding that you attend on the date and at the time specified in your confirmation email.  Classes will commence promptly at the time stated, irrespective of whether all students are present, and are not delayed for late-comers.  Tutors are not responsible for repeating notes or stages missed, and can refuse to admit you at their discretion.

6. Fees are not refundable if the course is interrupted or cancelled through circumstances beyond our control.

Attendance and Diplomas

Paying for and/or attending a course does not guarantee the awarding of a diploma or certificate.  Diplomas are gained by the successful fulfilment of the criteria set out by London Therapists and its accrediting bodies, and the awarding of diplomas is at the discretion of the tutor.  In the case of a dispute the decision of  the Principal is final.

Other

1.  The use of camcorders, mobile phone cameras and audio equipment during a class is not permitted.  

2.   All courses, fees and discounts are subject to change without prior notice.

3.  Students unable to understand or speak English will not be permitted to attend courses without the assistance of a suitably qualified interpreter.  The student is responsible for this expense.

4.  These conditions form the main part of the contract between London Therapists and the Student. Only the Principal shall be authorised to alter or waive any of the aforementioned terms and conditions.

Disciplinary

If any student behaves improperly on the tutor's premises, either before or during an assessment, or damages or removes any equipment belonging to the tutor, they will be asked to leave immediately and no refund of fees will be given.

Changes to these terms

These terms were last changed on 3rd October 2009.

These terms apply to your booking. We may change our terms and conditions at any time, so please do not assume that the same terms will apply to future bookings.
