1. General

1.1 These terms and conditions (“Terms”) apply to the coaching courses, programmes and other products (the “Products”) sold by Soul Searchers Limited, trading as The Upbeat Network, and operated by Anna Lycett (“we”, “our”, “us”). By purchasing our Products, you agree to the following Terms and Conditions of Sale, and that these prevail over any inconsistent terms or conditions contained, or referred to, elsewhere on this website or as implied by law, trade custom, practice or course of dealing.

1.2 The agreement between us and you, the person or entity registering to be a participant in the Products (“you”, “your”) and which is subject to these Terms (“Contract”), shall come into effect upon us emailing you to confirm our acceptance of your registration form for the Products and shall continue until terminated in accordance with these Terms.

1.3 By registering for our Products you warrant that:

1.3.1 You are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and

1.3.2 You are at least 18 years old; and

1.3.3 That all information you provide us with is materially true and accurate at all times and not misleading in any way.

1.4 You accept that communication with us will be mainly electronic. We will contact you by e-mail or provide you with information by posting notices on our site. You agree to this electronic means of communication and you acknowledge that all contracts, notices, information and other communications that we provide to you electronically comply with any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. This condition does not affect your statutory rights.

1.5 We may vary these Terms (other than the price payable by you for the Products) from time to time and if we do, we shall notify you of the change of terms via email. Your continuation with the Products will be deemed to be your acceptance of any new Terms.

1.6 The Contract is personal to you and you may not assign, transfer, charge, subcontract, sub-license or deal in any other manner with all or any of your rights under the Contract.

1.7 We may transfer, assign, charge, sub-contract or otherwise dispose of a Contract, or any of our rights or obligations arising under it, at any time during the term of the Contract without providing prior notice to you.

1.8 If we fail to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under the Contract, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under the Contract, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such obligations. A waiver by us of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default. No waiver by us of any of these Terms shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is in writing.

1.9 If any of these Terms are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

1.10 A person who is not a party to the Contract shall not have any rights under the Contract (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of the Contract.

1.11 The rights of the parties to terminate, rescind or agree any variation, waiver or settlement under the Contract are not subject to the consent of any person that is not a party to the Contract.

1.12 The Contract and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.

1.13 We each irrevocably agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim that arises out of or in connection with the Contract or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims).

1.14 Wherever the context shall require, all words herein in the one gender shall be deemed to include the other genders, whether masculine, feminine or neuter; all singular words shall include the plural, and all plural shall include the singular.
