Workshop Terms & Conditions

The following terms and conditions apply to all companies and or persons or other entities (“you”) that are attending any workshop (“Workshop”) organised by Stories Without Shame Ltd (“we” or “us”). Please ensure you have read and understand the following:

1. Acceptance of terms and conditions

By completing a booking for a Workshop via Eventbrite, our website, or any other booking method we make available, you are agreeing to these terms and conditions (“Terms”) and they will be incorporated into the contract between us (“Contract”). The Contract is formed when your booking is confirmed, whether by Eventbrite acting on our behalf or by us directly.

Where you book via Eventbrite, your use of Eventbrite may also be subject to Eventbrite’s own terms and conditions and privacy policy. Those terms apply separately between you and Eventbrite and do not replace these Terms, which apply to the contract between you and us for attendance at the Workshop.

2. Payment

The fee for attending the Workshop (“Registration Fee”) will be as stated on the relevant Eventbrite booking page, our website, or any other booking page or registration form we make available from time to time. All prices are total; the company is not registered for VAT, and no VAT is charged or applicable to these transactions.

All payments for the Registration Fee must be made in full at the time of booking and in any event prior to the date of the Workshop. Where bookings are made through Eventbrite, payment will be processed via Eventbrite and/or its payment processing providers. You may be required to provide Eventbrite with payment and contact information in order to complete your booking.

We reserve the right to run price promotions as we think fit. Any booking fees, processing fees, or other charges displayed by Eventbrite during the booking process will be dealt with in accordance with the information shown on Eventbrite at the time of booking and Eventbrite’s applicable terms.

3. Refunds

All tickets for the Workshop are non-refundable, except where we cancel the Workshop or where you have a specific right to a refund under these Terms.

If you are purchasing as a consumer, that is you are purchasing for purposes wholly or mainly outside of a trade, profession, craft or business, the following applies:

As this Workshop falls under the category of services related to leisure activities and there is a specific date or period of performance, the usual consumer cooling-off period does not apply. As such, once your booking has been made, you may not cancel the Contract and we shall not be obliged to provide any refund if you are unable or choose not to attend the Workshop.

Where you have booked through Eventbrite, any request to cancel or amend your booking may also be subject to Eventbrite’s processes and functionality. However, this does not change our no-refund position set out in these Terms.

4. Cancellation by us

There may be circumstances in which we need to cancel the Workshop. In such circumstances, we will provide you with a full refund of the amount of the Registration Fee that you have paid to us for the Workshop and we will make every effort to provide you with such refund within 60 days of the date of cancellation.

Where you booked via Eventbrite, any refund may be processed via Eventbrite and/or its payment processing providers. We are not responsible for any delay caused by Eventbrite or its payment processing providers in processing the refund.

5. Postponement or change to venue

There may be circumstances in which we need to postpone the Workshop or change the venue at which the Workshop is to be held and if we do, we shall advise you as soon as we possibly can.

If the postponement is for more than 6 months after the publicised date of the Workshop or the replacement venue is more than 50 miles away from the publicised venue, you may cancel your ticket by emailing us at hello@storieswithoutshame.com and we shall provide you with a full refund of the Registration Fee.
