Terms and conditions

1. Acceptance

1.1. These terms and conditions ('Terms') form the entire agreement between Epic Multimedia Limited ('Epic') and the client ('Client', 'you') for the training course detailed on your application form. The confirmation of a booking is acceptance of these Terms.

2. Bookings

2.1. Initial bookings may be made by phone, fax or on our website. We will contact you to confirm this booking and then issue an invoice for payment. The invoice is final confirmation of the booking.

2.2. Course joining instructions and any pre-course documentation will be made available to you prior to the course commencement. Completion of any pre-course work is recommended.

3. Changes

3.1. You may cancel a confirmed booking by giving written notice and on payment of a cancellation fee, which is a percentage of the Course fee. The cancellation fee varies with the amount of written notice given to Epic as follows:

  • 11 - 20 working days - 50%
  • 0 - 10 working days - 100%

3.2. No charge will be made for the substitution of course participants. It is the Client's responsibility to ensure that the new delegate receives any joining instructions or pre-course documentation already sent by Epic. To assist with the event planning, you should inform Epic of any changes and ensure that the replacement course participant has undertaken any pre-course work.

3.3. In the event that Epic has to reschedule a Course, all confirmed course participants will be offered an alternative booking. If no alternative can be agreed then Epic will refund any course fee paid.

  • charge on an indemnity basis for all collection costs incurred as a result of instructing a solicitor or collection agency to recover the outstanding payment

5. Confidentiality

5.1. All intellectual property rights ("Rights") in Course and e-Learning documents, software, materials and media ("Materials") are vested in Epic and all such Rights are reserved.

5.2. All Materials provided to course participants are on loan for the exclusive use of the individual delegate and remain the property of Epic. Materials may not be reproduced or transmitted in any form, or by any means, electronically or mechanically, including photocopying, recording or any information storage or retrieval system without the prior written permission of Epic. Materials are provided subject to the condition that they shall not, by way of trade or otherwise, be lent, resold, hired out, or otherwise circulated without the prior written permission of Epic. Any use, duplication or lending of Materials without the prior written consent of Epic, save for such uses as are allowed under applicable law is prohibited.

5.3. All Epic personnel and contractors are employed under contracts that protect the client's confidential information. The client warrants that it will not seek to employ, or solicit the services of any Epic personnel or contractor except through a primary contract with Epic.
