However, once we have completed the services you cannot change your mind, even if the period is still running. If you cancel after we have started the services, you must pay us for the services provided up until the time you tell us that you have changed your mind. You may cancel your order for participating in a course, up to 5 working days before the start of the course. If you cancel less than 5 working days before the course, or fail to show up, we will be entitled to keep (in case you have paid in advance) or claim (in case you haven’t paid) the course fee.
  2. Have you bought goods? If so you have 180 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless:
    1. Your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 180 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery to change your mind about the goods.
    2. Your goods are for regular delivery over a set period. In this case you have until 180 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the first delivery of the goods.

You must post them back to us.

7. When we will pay the costs of return.
  1. We will pay the costs of return:
    1. if the products are faulty or mis-described;
    2. if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the product or these terms, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong; or
  2. In all other circumstances (including where you are exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return.
8. Deductions from refunds. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:
  1. We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
  2. The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
  3. Where the product is a service, we may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it was supplied, ending with the time when you told us you had changed your mind. The amount will be in proportion to what has been supplied, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.
9. When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind then:
  1. If the products are goods, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the product back from you.
  2. In all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind.
SHOP: PRODUCTS & DELIVERY

In this case, you must also send us a damage report letter signed by an employee of the shipping company, in order to obtain a refund or replacement.
2. Your obligation to inspect the goods. It is your responsibility to check the integrity of the products immediately upon delivery. If an order is delivered damaged or with quality issues, you must inform us through the Return functionality in the online shop within 24 hours of delivery/receipt. Thereafter, you must return these damaged goods to the seller at “Boston Education Company Ltd, 128 City Road, London EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom.” within 5 working days.

4. Delivery times. The delivery time is a combination of processing time (till dispatch) and transportation time, which is dependent on the carrier. If the products are one-off services we will begin the services on the date agreed with you during the order process. The estimated completion date for the services is also as told to you during the order process. If a delivery date or date-range is indicated by us on a product page, order email, or other communication, then this is indicative “expected” date provided for the convenience of the customer, and is not a promised delivery date and is not binding in any way.
5. When we process and dispatch orders. Orders shall be processed and dispatched on weekdays; orders placed during weekends, public holidays, or company holidays shall be processed on or after the next working day.

7. Where you request quick delivery. If you request us to dispatch the order quickly in order to meet a target delivery date, we will only accept any such request strictly on best effort basis, without any liability for the consequences of any delays.
8. Delivery fees. We may charge you a shipping fee for using any or all modes of delivery. Shipping fees are dependent on type of delivery (standard, expedited, etc.), weight & value of order, and delivery location. These charges can vary based on market conditions and the rate list(s) of the carrier(s). The latest applicable delivery charges are always available on our website. The delivery fee shall always be displayed in the online shop during the checkout process, before you pay for the order.
9. We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received. You also cannot claim from us any compensation for delays caused by you, the shipping company, or other force majeure conditions.

You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

5. Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
6. These Terms and its subject matter and its formation, are governed by British law and the courts of United Kingdom will have non-exclusive jurisdiction. However, in the event of a dispute, as a first recourse, the parties shall attempt to settle disputes among themselves.
