Instalments and Payment Plans

If we have agreed that you can pay for any products or services by instalment or payment plan, you agree to make the payments on the same date every month, regardless of circumstances, including situations such as illness, unemployment, maternity leave, etc.  Provision should be made (eg, savings/income protection/insurance, etc) that in the event of any such circumstances, your commitment to pay Blossom & Berry will not be affected and will be paid on the date agreed. If you do not honour this commitment and complete the payments, or if an instalment is late, Blossom & Berry reserves the right to demand payment of the outstanding balance, which will become payable as a debt and may incur additional credit enforcement charges. We reserve the right to demand full payment of outstanding amounts on the default of any one monthly instalment.

In the event of defaulting on a payment, we will write to you (via email) to request that you make payment of the instalment amount. If we do not hear from you within a reasonable amount of time, we reserve the right to remove you from the course and no longer mark your work or provide tuition. We also reserve the right to take further action to recover this debt.

In the event that we demand the return of any materials supplied, you hereby agree that you will not make any copy of the materials or make use of any copies or other materials derived from those being returned.

No course certificate will be provided (if otherwise appropriate) if there are any outstanding fees due to Blossom & Berry in relation to that course or program.

If you wish to reapply to join Blossom & Berry at a future date, any monies previously paid will be forfeited upon your suspension from the course.

We reserve the right to remove you from any Blossom & Berry social media group or to suspend communication with you while any money is outstanding and/or to send details of any debts to a factoring or other debt-collecting agency.

Please, therefore, make absolutely sure that before you enrol on any of our courses, you take the time to research them and us fully by reading the full course description and content (found on the training tab) and have taken all steps necessary to ensure that this is the right course and training provider for you.  If you are unsure, then Gayle is available for a call and you can email any questions to admin@blossomandberry.com.  We are unable to offer any refunds, cancellations or changes to courses after enrolment.

Refunds, Cancellations & Requirements For In-Person Training

Course cancellation by the student

If you cancel prior to 12 weeks before the start of the course, we will refund the full course price minus the non-refundable deposit.

If you cancel your place less than 6 weeks before the first day of the course, Blossom & Berry is unable to offer you a refund. We will endeavour to offer the course place to another student; to the extent that this is possible, we will seek to refund some or all of the remaining balance.

If you need to leave the course for any reason once the course has started, we are unable to offer you a refund or defer your course place.

If you are on a monthly payment plan, all instalments will need to be settled before the course starts.

If you cannot attend a day of the course, then the additional time can be caught up via our online course or in additional training, which is payable by you for the instructor’s time and expenses.

Course cancellation by Blossom & Berry

In the unlikely event of extenuating circumstances, Blossom & Berry reserves the right to cancel the course at any time. If the course is cancelled prior to the course starting, the course may be rescheduled and if students cannot attend the new course, then 100% refunds will be made. If the course is cancelled partway through the course, Blossom & Berry will rearrange the remaining modules of the course.

Withdrawal of Support

For clarity, I thought I would set out the following;

I am here to help you develop your business but as a teacher, you are not able to use our materials and resources to set up a teacher training organisation.

If you want to set up your own training school, you will be asked to leave the collective and return all resources and lifetime access to the course will be revoked. I will no longer be able to offer you mentorship or coaching as part of B & B or my mentorship programs as Gayle Berry

Using the names of my programs directly is not allowed.

Blossom & Berry is built on the values of trust, respect and service and so when I create and share my knowledge and materials I have an expectation that they will not be directly used to create competition. In addition, selling courses or creating a competitive community through networking with teachers in this group in a non-transparent way will also mean you will be asked to leave the collective

Date policy adopted: 21 January 2024
