Introduction

As with all businesses, The Lazarus Consultancy Ltd (and its Director, Jeremy Lazarus) strive to serve our clients, and give them the best service we possibly can whilst keeping in mind commercial realities. One of these realities relates to intellectual property.

The copyright of all original works are held by Jeremy Lazarus and/or The Lazarus Consultancy Ltd, and unless specified otherwise you do not have permission to copy or reuse any of the material without our prior written consent.

As with many websites we have items for sale and also free downloads.  Where we ask for your name and email address in order for you to make a purchase or to download material, we will do this on the basis that you are agreeing to allow us to contact you subsequently in relation to your transaction and/or for marketing purposes. Our system makes it very easy for you to unsubscribe at any time.

Terms and Conditions of Sale

1.  Delivery timescales

Our intention is to despatch books, booklets and CDs within 48 hours of receipt of the order. Occasionally this may not be possible – we will always despatch products as soon as possible and inform you if there is any delay in porcessing your order.

For UK Addresses:

CDs (NLP Practitioner, Master Practitioner and ‘Understanding, Predicting & Influencing Behaviour’) will be despatched either by courier or Special Delivery. Books and booklets and ‘Creating The Life You Want’ CDs  will be sent by first class post. If you require special posting arrangements, please let us know (there may be a charge for this).

For non-UK Addresses:

We may contact you to confirm the delivery logistics.

2.  Payments and Refunds

Payment in full is required for all products before delivery. For training courses, unless otherwise agreed we require payment in full at the time of booking, or when booked by an organisation, payment in full is due the earlier of 30 days after the invoice and one month prior to the start of the course. In any event, unless otherwise agreed, payment is due in full one month prior to the course.

Refunds on products will be given ONLY if the goods are returned to us by Special Delivery within 10 days of despatch. Goods must be in perfect, re-saleable condition.

If the goods we send you are faulty in some way, we will exchange them.

In the very unlikely event that you are not satisfied with our training courses, we will refund you in full, less a deduction for the price of any materials provided such as the course manuals and MP3s, which remain yours to keep (we will waive the price of the manual if you confirm in writing that you will delete the manual and all copies of it from your system, and confirm that you have not passed a copy to anyone else). This offer is subject to you telling us and confirming in writing / via email as follows:

• for courses lasting more than two days, by the end of the second day,
• for courses lasting two days, by the end of the first day,
• for courses lasting one day, by lunchtime.

3.  Cancellation of Training Courses

Unless otherwise agreed or stated, for all courses:

-if cancelled more than two months prior to the course starting, the cancellation fee is 20% of the agreed price

-if cancelled within two months of the course starting, the cancellation fee is 30% of the agreed price

-if cancelled within one month of the course starting, the cancellation fee is 50% of the agreed price

-if cancelled within one week of the course starting, the cancellation fee is 100% of the agreed price

Any manuals, audio materials and videos that have been provided (regardless of whether they have been provided physically or digitally) will remain your property.

Should you wish to defer a course to a different date, or substitute an alternative suitable delegate, the cancellation fee is waived for the first deferment or substitute, but there will be an administration fee of 10% of the agreed price plus VAT.

If by some chance we cancel a course, we will refund your tuition fees in full, and allow you to retain any course materials as a gesture of goodwill, and offer you alternative courses or book you onto the subsequent course. We are not liable for any costs you incur, such as travel or accommodation costs.

4.  Training Agreements

Please refer to the Our training approach page.

5.  Purchase Terms and Conditions

All our electronic and physical products are sold on the basis that they are to be used by the purchaser only and are not to be copied or distributed without our permission. By purchasing any of our products, you are agreeing to this.

For our courses, on rare occasions we allow people to complete payment beyond the final day of the course.  In such circumstances the Certificate is not issued until the course has been paid for in full.

6. Recording of live trainings

Where a training course, workshop,  webinar or similar event is recorded, the recording may be made available for sale. We will make clear in our publicity if events will be recorded. By attending such events, attendees are accepting that they may appear in a product we may sell and waive any right to payment (including royalties, commission or similar payment), and in return delegates will receive their own copy of the recording, or be able to purchase it from us at a specially reduced price. Breakout room sessions will not be recorded. Any special terms in addition to those noted here will be made explicit in our marketing and / or written confirmation after booking.
