British Action Academy Booking Terms and Conditions. This is a live document and could change periodically. It is your responsibility to check the latest version and read accordingly. You can see the latest edit date at the bottom of the terms.

1. Bookings

The making of a booking does not constitute the creation of a contract and British Action Academy Limited reserves the right to decline to process a booking for any reason whatsoever. If a booking cannot be fulfilled for any reason, British Action Academy Limited will promptly refund all monies. The making of a booking constitutes your acceptance of the British Action Academy Limited’s Terms & Conditions of trading. For the protection of our customers, British Action Academy Limited reserves the right to undertake additional security checks and if necessary, delay the booking. All bookings must be made via the British Action Academy, we have no affilation with other third parties.

2. VAT

Prices quoted include VAT at rates applicable on the day of purchase.

3. Booking Form

British Action Academy Limited provides an online booking form for all Training Courses, which must be completed in order to book a place on a Training Course. A booking is not complete until a form has been submitted and payment taken.

4. Instalments

We offer instalment plans, spread over 3 easy payments, so that our course payments can be easier to pay off over a certain amount of time. If you chose the instalment plan, the cost of the course is £20.00 more than purchasing the course in a one off payment. The extra £20.00 is an administration charge for arranging and processing instalment plans.

First Payment: The first payment is a non-refundable deposit to hold your place, due immediately. Should you cancel for any reason, the initial deposit will be retained.

Second and final payments: Once you have paid the initial deposit, we will send you an email with dates of when the next instalments are due to be made. On each of those dates, we will send you new invoice via email, which you will need to pay within 48 hours.

General

If you would like the instalment option within 28 days before the start of the course, we will only be able to offer you a 2 step instalment plan. The first is the non-refundable deposit and the last instalment will need to be the final balance. The final balance is due no less than 10 working days prior to the course start date.

Late payments

We provide 3 working days grace for late instalment payments. During this time we shall send several reminders via email. Should we not receive communication from you in this time, we will call you. Should we not receive payment, we reserve the right to cancel your booking and retain all monies paid.

This is obviously not what we want to do! So please ensure you make prompt payment. If you are away or have any problems meeting your agreed payment date, please contact us as soon as possible to avoid these cancellation charges.

Should we have to chase you for instalment payments on a regular basis, the BAA reserve the right to refuse the instalment plan on future bookings and will require the full balance up front.

5. Cancellations - Full payment

Applicable to all BAA Training courses:

If you have paid the full amount and you wish to cancel your place any time up to 10 working days prior to the Training Course start date, you have the option to roll your payment over to the next available course or apply for a refund minus a £20 administration fee. During normal business operations, please allow 7 working days for your refunds to be processed.

You may only roll your booking fee once. Should you wish to roll your payment over to the next course, should there be an increase in the price of the course within the time period of purchase and attending, you will be required to pay the increase 10 working days before the start of the course. 

Should you cancel within the 10 working day run up to the Training Course start date you will be subject to a 100% cancellation fee. On certain occasions we may be able to fill your space. If this is possible, we may offer you a refund minus £20 administrative fee, however, this is not a guarantee. 

Should you need to cancel due to injury/illness within 10 working days of the course start date, you maybe subject to a 100% cancellation charge.  If you cancel outside the 10 working day period due to injury/illness or you are unable to complete part of an attended course due to an injury or illness, a copy of a valid, dated doctor’s certificate is required (to be provided within 7 working days from the first day of the course) in order to gain a refund minus a £20 admin fee. If you have paid for the course in instalments, your first instalment is non-refundable.

Should we not receive the certificate within the stated period, we reserve the right to retain all monies paid. 

British Action Academy Limited cannot be held liable for any travel/accommodation expenses incurred in this instance. A refund can only be made to the purchaser and if payment was originally made by credit/debit card the refund will be made to the same card.

6. Cancellation - Instalment payments

Should you wish to cancel your space on the course at any time before the 10 working day period to the start of the course and you have paid by our instalment plan, the first payment is non-refundable for all circumstances. We will refund any further instalment payments to you as soon as possible. During normal business operations, please allow 7 working days for your refunds to be processed.

Should you cancel within the 10 working day period to the start of the course, you will be subject to 100% cancellation charge of the full amount. Under certain circumstances, depending on the reason for cancellation, the cancellation charge may be lowered. This is at the British Action Academy's discretion. 

7. Cancellations: Consumers’ Statutory Right to Cancel

Accrual of the Statutory Right to Cancel the Contract

Should you book a Training Course for a purpose that is wholly or mainly outside of your trade, business, craft or profession, you are entitled to a 14-day “cooling off” period beginning the day after the day on which you enter into the contract for the supply of the Training Course with British Action Academy Limited.

During the 14-day “cooling off” period you have the right to cancel the contract without giving any reason, and at no cost.

Exercise of the Statutory Right to Cancel the Contract

In order to exercise your right to cancel the contract, you must inform British Action Academy Limited of your decision to do so. Should you exercise this right to cancel, British Action Academy Limited will refund any and all payments that you have made to it pursuant to the cancelled contract by the end of 14 days after the day on which it is informed of your decision to exercise your right to cancel the contract.

Booking a Course Due to Start Within the Statutory “Cooling Off” Period

Should you book a Training Course due to begin during your 14-day “cooling off” period, that period shall expire either at the end of the 14-day “cooling off” period or at the end of the Training Course, whichever occurs first.

Should you exercise your right to cancel the contract during the Training Course, you will be liable to a full cancellation charge (100% of the ticket cost). This sum will be set off against any payments that you have already made to British Action Academy Limited pursuant to the cancelled contract.

Interaction of the Statutory Right to Cancel for Consumers with the British Action Academy’s Cancellation Policy

Should you be entitled to a 14-day “cooling off” period, during that 14-day “cooling off” period the provisions within Part 4 of these Terms and Conditions of trading, entitled “Cancellations”, do not apply. The provisions contained within Part 4 of these Terms and Conditions of trading apply as normal after the expiry of the “cooling off” period.

8. Rolling payments over for Training Courses

Should you cancel a Training Course outside of the 10 working day cancellation period, the British Action Academy Limited will offer you the chance to roll your booking over to a next available Phase and keep hold of your original payment. 

British Action Academy Limited will only offer the chance to roll over a booking once.

9. Refunds

Should you cancel a Training Course within the agreed cancellation time and do not wish to roll your booking over, British Action Academy Limited will refund the course fee minus a £20 administration fee.

A refund can only be made to the purchaser and if payment was originally made by credit/debit card the refund will be made to the same card. If payment was made by BACS the refund will be paid back in the same manor to the purchasers account details.

10. DBS Certificate - Gun Rush

As a condition of booking on to our Gun Rush training experience, we require a valid 'Basic' DBS Certificate for added security as the course teaches live firing and weapon handling. If you make payment for Gun Rush and you cannot provide a copy of a valid DBS Certificate in time for the course, we reserve the right to cancel your booking and retain monies paid.

You must apply for this check yourself and can view more information on how to do this this here

You must email a scanned copy of your DBS Certificate to our office on info@britishactionacademy.com before the course date. The latest we will accept DBS Certificates is 2 working days prior to the start of the course.

DBS Certificates received after this time or on the day of the course will not be accepted as we have to process them on our system before the course date. 

Should any convictions, past or present show up on your DBS Certificate the BAA reserves the right to refuse entry onto Gun Rush. In this instance, should payment have been made, a refund will be processed under the terms of our refund policy. 

11. Group course/event booking

Should you wish to pay for a range of courses up front, you have 18 months from date of purchase to attend all courses, before you may be liable to pay any course price increases that should occur during this period. 

12. No Show

Any participant who does not show up for the event or cancels on the morning of the event date will be subject to a 100% cancellation fee of the cost of the event. British Action Academy Limited accepts a degree of extenuating circumstances, in these instances it is at the British Action Academy Limited’s discretion to provide a refund or roll the booking over to a future course date.

13. Non-completion of a training course/event

Should you not complete a course or event, in it's entirety for reasons not limited to injury/illness/expectation/personal dislike of event/course you will not be entitled to a refund of the full amount or any partial amount.

We measure appropriate fitness by stating that if you can successfully complete a circuit-training class without your fitness being too compromised the physicality of our courses should be appropriate for you. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to ensure that the Training Course is appropriate for them and to be sure that the restrictions are not prohibitive. We are very clear about the activities of each course listed on our website, however, if you are unsure of the suitability/physicality of the course/event please telephone us on 01252 711130 or email us at info@britishactionacademy.com and we will be happy to advise you.
