Any general Terms and Conditions printed on the Recipient’s Enrollment form, purchase orders or related documents shall not be applicable if they are contrary to these Terms and Conditions, unless expressly accepted in writing by Skillogic. For the interpretation of the trade conditions, the contract is governed by relevant legislation in South Africa in force on the date of written acceptance of the order or service with Skillogic.

2: CONTRACT FORMATION

The contract is formed either when the Recipient’s/Participant’s order or enrollment is confirmed by Skillogic by e-mail, fax or letter, or, in case the order is placed by phone, when it is confirmed over the phone by Skillogic, without prejudice of 3 of these Terms and Conditions. Moreover, the Recipient/Participant agrees not to discuss the validity of the contract when formed through mutual agreement during a telephone conversation.

3: RECIPIENT/PARTICIPANT ACCEPTANCE

1. Recipient’s [also referred to Participant] as orders [also referred to as ‘’enrollment’’] are binding on Skillogic only if Skillogic has not refused such orders within 10 days after receipt of a registered letter, the postal date being conclusive. Skillogic can indeed subordinate the validity of the contract to additional conditions to these relating for example to the good execution of the obligations resulting from the contract. Skillogic reserves the right to refuse an order for enrollment for technical or organisational problems such as: a too important a number of participants, the impossibility to rent a suitable venue or the absence of a lecturer, this list being non exhaustive.

The modification shall be communicated at least 15 days prior to the date of the service commencing and will incur, unless otherwise agreed to in writing, a flat administration charge of R1000. Moreover, the non-attendance of a registered participant/Participant to a programme will entail payment of the full fee.
3. If the Recipient/Participant cancels or modifies its initial delivering instructions, Skillogic may invoice the goods/services and retain them on Recipient’s/Participant’s account at Recipient’s/Participant’s risk and expenses until reception of definitive instructions.

4: PRICE AND CHANGE OF PRICE.

Any taxes, levies, duties, insurance and transportation costs arising after delivery or resulting from the service are for Recipient’s account.

10: CANCELLATION OF CONTRACT

This is why the following conditions shall apply whenever the Participant/Recipient books a seat to one of Skillogic’s programmes:
• a colleague of same level or experience may take the Recipient’s/Participants place provided that this is communicated at least 20 working days before the start of the programme and subject to administration charges as set forth in 3 of these Terms and Conditions.
• if Recipient decides to postpone to a later outing of the programme and/or cancels his/her participation at least 20 working days beforehand, he/she is subject to administrative costs as set forth in of these Terms and Conditions.
• if the Recipient/Participant fails to comply with the above conditions or notification is received within 20 days before start date, registration fees and costs shall be due in full.
