2 Basis of Sale

(a) We consider these Terms, the Booking Confirmation and our price list (as set out under the heading "Courses" on Our Website from time to time, for online Bookings) to set out the whole agreement between you and us for the supply of the Services. These Terms only apply to our contracts with consumers.

(b) Please check that the details in these Terms and on the Booking Confirmation are complete and accurate before you commit yourself to the contract. If you think that there is a mistake, please make sure that you ask us to confirm any changes in writing, as we only accept responsibility for statements and representations made in writing by our authorised employees and agents.

(c) Please ensure that you read and understand these Terms before you submit the Booking, because you will be bound by the Terms once a contract comes into existence between us, in accordance with clause 2.5.

2.1 Any descriptions, photographs or advertising we publish or issue or contained in Our Website, are solely intended to provide you with an approximate idea of the services they describe. They do not form part of the contract between you and us or any other contract between you and us for the supply of the Services.

2.2 If any of these Terms are inconsistent with any term of the Booking Confirmation, the Booking Confirmation shall prevail.

2.3 The Booking 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.

2.4 These Terms shall become binding on you and us when:

(a) we issue you with written acceptance of a Booking; or

(b) we notify you by email or telephone (or telephone in the event that you do not provide an email address) that we are able to provide the Services,

3 Cancellation or Rescheduling of a Lesson or Event by you

3.1 If you wish to cancel or reschedule a Course, Lesson and/or an Event, you must do so by notifying us by telephone, in the first instance and then by providing written confirmation in accordance with this clause 3.1.

The Course, Lesson and/or Event will only be cancelled or rescheduled when you receive notice in writing (or telephone in the event that you do not provide an email address) from us confirming the cancellation or rescheduling. Your right to cancel or reschedule will end as soon as the Lesson or Event has started. Booking your Course, Lesson or Event closes our availability to other clients. Therefore in certain circumstances, as set out below, a cancellation fee will be payable by you to us. The cancellation fee will be determined by:-

The Price which would have been payable for the cancelled or rescheduled Course, Lesson or Event if it had not been cancelled or rescheduled, based on the Booking Confirmation.; and

The period of notice of cancellation received by us.

The cancellation fee shall be calculated in accordance with the following Cancellation Schedule:

Period of Notice received by us

Cancellation Fee as a percentage of the Price for the cancelled or rescheduled Lesson or Event

48 hours or more before the Lesson Date

NIL

24 hours to 48 hours before the Lesson Date

For the avoidance of doubt, but without limitation, you will be liable to pay to us the costs of any and all ingredients and/or equipment and/or venue purchased and/or hired for the cancelled Lesson or Event. [However, where the cancellation is due to our failure to comply with these Terms you shall have no liability to us for it.]

3.3 If your Booking is for a Course, for the purposes of this clause 3 only, each Lesson forming part of the Course shall be treated as a separate Lesson and the cancellation fee shall be calculated in accordance with the Cancellation Schedule set out in clause 3.1 above as a percentage of the Price (shown on Our Website from time to time) of the Lesson described as "Your Favourite Dishes Course" for the number of people participating in your Course.

3.4 If your Booking is for a Course, the cancellation of 50% or more of the Lessons forming part of the Course (irrespective of whether such Lessons are cancelled at the same time or separately) shall incur a further cancellation fee (in addition to the cancellation fee calculated in accordance clause 3.3 above). This additional cancellation fee shall be 100% of the Price (shown on Our Website from time to time) of one Lesson described as "Your Favourite Dishes Course" for the number of people participating in your Course.

3.5 If your Booking is for one Party Lesson, if you reschedule or cancel the Party Lesson the 50% of the Price which you have paid at least one week before the Lesson Date in accordance with clause 9.4 below shall not be refundable. If you reschedule or cancel the Party Lesson less than 24 hours before the Lesson Date, the cancellation fee shall be calculated in accordance with the Cancellation Schedule set out in clause 3.1 above.

3.6 If your Booking is for two or more Party Lessons, if you reschedule or cancel the Party Lessons, the Price which you have paid at least one week before the Lesson Date of the First Party Lesson in accordance with clause 9.5 below shall not be refundable.

3.7 We have the right to revise and amend these Terms from time to time. You will be subject to the policies and terms in force at the time that you receive a Booking Confirmation, unless any change to those policies or these Terms is required by law or government or regulatory authority in which case it will apply to Bookings you have previously placed that we have not yet fulfilled.
