If the products delivered to you do not include all of the Products that you ordered or include incorrect Products, you must inform us in writing within 14 working days from the date of delivery. If you do not, we will not be responsible for any loss or damage suffered by you as a result. In any event, our liability is limited to the price of the Products not delivered or the cost of replacing such Products.
Delivery
Within 72 hours of purchase, a confirmation email will be sent to the customer acknowledging successful payment and enrollment (or nonsuccessful payment, and thereby non enrollment) in the course.
For Live Courses, within one week before the announced course start date, the customer will be notified by email of an online URL where the course materials will be located and/or the live meetings will be held. (If a Course is purchased closer to the event start date than one week, the same notification will be provided as soon as possible). Any further instructions needed will be given at that time. Students/customers will be required to create a username and password for logging into the site and accessing the course content.
New course content will be delivered as specified by the course outline. Students will have access to course material for the period of time specified on the course outline. Upon request, it is likely but not guaranteed that students may continue to have access to course content (when available). This will be decided on the discretion of Margot A. Holloman, PhD and Beginning to Bloom.
The time and method for delivery for downloadable and prerecorded products will be immediately after payment is confirmed unless otherwise stated at the time of sale. The place of delivery for a downloadable or prerecorded product will be the installed reader on your computer, our Site, or your email. The place, date, and time of delivery for a live course or “session” will be on our website and communicated at the time of sale.
Pre-Orders
From time to time, we may make certain Products available to be preordered for a set period before their launch date. As with any other order, payment for pre-ordered Products shall be processed on the date of the order. The price charged for preordered Products will be the price of the relevant Products as stated on this site on the date the order is placed. In the unlikely event that the price of the relevant Product is less on the date of dispatch than its price on the date that the pre-order was placed, you may request a refund of the difference between these prices by contacting our customer service as set out here (by making a request in writing to Beginning to Bloom at [email protected]).
