Terms Of Use

Terms & Conditions

The following terms and conditions govern business transacted with SGFiction.co.uk, hereinafter referred to as “SG Fiction”.

Booking A Course with SG Fiction

Enrolment

To confirm your booking and enrol on a course, you must complete the booking form available from Eventbrite (including accepting these terms and conditions).

Late Enrolment

Bookings made within 10 working days of course commencement must be paid for at time of enrolment. Provisional bookings cannot be accepted after this time.

International Enrolment

International delegates must pay in advance via credit card or bank transfer. Payment must clear prior to course commencement; only then will your booking be confirmed by SG Fiction.

Confirmation of Enrolment by SG Fiction

When we receive your payment, or agreement to pay, we will confirm your enrolment by email. If you have not received this confirmation at least one week prior to commencement of your course, please contact us. We recommend that delegates do not make travel and/or hotel accommodation arrangements without this confirmation email.

SG Fiction will send another email just prior to your course, which will include course details such as directions to the event destination and parking.

Attendance and Substitutions

Attendance

If a delegate fails to attend the first or any subsequent day of a course,
SG Fiction reserves the right to deny them entry to the
classroom for the remainder of the course. If SG Fiction exercises
this right, the booking will be deemed cancelled and the course fee will not be refundable.

Delegate substitutions are acceptable, provided notice is given prior to course commencement and that the substitute delegate meets all course prerequisites and is approved by SG Fiction management.
