APPLICATION OF THESE TERMS

‍

2.1 Payment of the requisite fee (as detailed below) is an offer by you to enter into a binding contract with us, which we are free to accept or decline at our absolute discretion.

2.2 We intend to rely upon these Terms and any document expressly referred to in them in relation to the Contract between you and us. While we accept responsibility for statements and representations made by our duly authorised agents, please make sure you ask for any variations from these Terms to be confirmed in writing.

2.3 We have the right to revise and amend these Terms from time to time. You will be subject to our Terms (including policies and procedures) in force at the time that you enroll on a course with us, unless any change to those policies or these Terms is required by law or government or regulatory authority in which case the same will apply to courses you have enrolled on or started.

2.4 If you do not provide us with the requisite information, or you provide us with incomplete, incorrect or inaccurate information or instructions, we may make an additional administration charge of a reasonable sum to cover any extra work that is required or choose to cancel this Contract.

APPLICATION, ENROLLMENT AND PAYMENT

‍

3.1 Applications will only be accepted with payment of the deposit. Please note that any deposits are non-refundable.

3.2 In cases where payment of course fees will be made via a payment plan you will be held to the payment time frame that is agreed upon at time of purchase. Payments that are one month overdue will be forwarded to our legal team for collection.

3.3 If your course requires you to have a particular qualification, you must provide proof of that qualification when enrolling.

3.4 The balance of course fees (i.e. the total fee(s) less any deposit previously paid) are due no later than 14 days before the course starts or as the payment plan indicates. If the balance is not paid by this date, we reserve the right to suspend access to online accounts and/or treat the course as being cancelled and offer the place to another student. Furthermore any progression in the course is put to a complete halt and all records are sealed. The suspension and deactivation of an account is universal and does affect all other services provided by International Fitness Alliance (IFA) that are not included in this payment plan.
