Tech School Terms and Conditions

The following terms and conditions for purchase of Tech School (the “Tech School Terms & Conditions”) are entered into between you, our customer (referred to as “you” or “your”), and This Mum Loves Tech, a business located at THIS MUM LOVES TECH 82A James Carter Road Mildenhall IP28 7DE (referred to as “This Mum Loves Tech”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).

The Service

This Mum Loves Tech provides a digital coaching and implementation programme called Tech School, which offers one-to-one support, group sessions, and resources to help business owners learn and apply online technology in their businesses. As a condition of purchasing Tech School, you agree to be bound by these Tech School Terms & Conditions.

Legal terms that apply to your purchase

Our Website Terms of Use and Privacy Policy form part of these Online Course Terms & Conditions, and they also apply to any purchase you make from us.

If there is any inconsistency between any of those agreements and/or policies and these Tech School Terms & Conditions, these Tech School Terms & Conditions will take precedence.

For example, if our general refund policy is a certain number of days, and you see a different number of days in the refund policy in these Tech School Terms & Conditions, you can be sure that the refund policy you see here applies to your Tech School purchase.

Minimum age for purchase

Our products are intended to be purchased by individuals over the legal age of adulthood (which happens to be 18 years old in most places in the world).

If you are not a legal adult, you must only make purchases from our site with the consent of a responsible adult.

Our relationship with you

When you purchase Tech School, This Mum Loves Tech agrees to provide you with access to Tech School, which is an educational and informational resource. The information contained in Tech School, including any interactions with our staff or contractors, is not intended as, and shall not be understood as, professional advice.

Nothing in these Tech School Terms & Conditions forms any partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between you and This Mum Loves Tech.

Payment required for access

By purchasing Tech School, you understand and acknowledge that you are entering into a legally binding contract with This Mum Loves Tech, which requires you to pay the fees in full in exchange for access to Tech School.

You will only be allowed to use Tech School when we receive payment in full, or the first instalment of your selected payment plan.

Due to the nature of online payments, your payment may appear as “pending” or a similar status for several days. As a gesture of good faith, we provide access immediately when you make a payment, but if the payment then fails, we may revoke your access immediately without notifying you.

By making a payment online with your credit or debit card, you give us permission to automatically charge your payment method for the amounts specified on the Tech School purchasing page. You also give us permission to share your payment information and instructions required to complete any and all payments in the transaction with our third-party payment providers.

Payment Authorisation

By electing to pay through a payment plan:

a) You authorise This Mum Loves Tech to charge your payment method automatically for each subsequent payment without further authorisation or notice to you (unless required by law).

b) You understand that it is your responsibility to ensure that the payment method we have on file for you is valid for the duration of the payments you have committed to in the payment plan. If your payment method becomes invalid before completing all payments in the payment plan, you must provide an alternate payment method before your next payment is due by writing to us at info@thismumlovestech.co.uk or calling us at 07721644656.

c) You understand that you are required by law to complete all remaining payments of your payment plan unless you have correctly requested and been granted a refund in accordance these Tech School Terms & Conditions.

In summary, you commit to paying in full, and you may not cancel or avoid any of the payments in any selected payment plan except by correctly using the refund policy. 

Consequences of failed payments

In the event any payment fails or is not made by the due date, your access to Tech School and the Online Community will be immediately suspended, and any rights or licenses to use the Tech School and related materials will be revoked immediately.

The first time a payment fails or a payment deadline is missed, if you subsequently make the payment that was due, we will not take any further action and your access will be restored.

If there is any subsequent failed or missed payment, the total remaining balance on your payment plan will become due immediately, regardless of how many payment instalments remain. Your access will be restored once you have paid in full.

If your failure to make a payment on time results in the suspension of your access which causes you to miss out on any live calls or presentations, you will not be entitled to any reduction in the Tech School fees or any refund.

By agreeing to these Tech School Terms & Conditions, you acknowledge that these are fair and reasonable consequences for failed and/or missed payments.

Refund Policy

We want you to be satisfied with your purchase. For this reason, we offer the following “Conditional” refund policy.

You may request a full refund if you decide Tech School isn’t the right fit before the start of the term or within 48 hours after completing your Orientation Call. 

After this point, no refunds will be issued, as spaces are limited and your place reserves time and resources for the duration of the term.

If you are not satisfied with your purchase and would like to request a refund, you can email us at info@thismumlovestech.co.uk within 7 business days of the scheduled Start Date (as specified on the checkout page), and if you have met the conditions of our refund policy, we will give you your money back.

Our policy is in addition to any legal rights you may have through legislation that applies to your purchase. If you believe that a law in your geographic area entitles you to a refund outside of what is permitted by this policy, please contact us at info@thismumlovestech.co.uk. We will verify our legal obligations, and if required, we will provide you with a refund.
