Each delegate will train at a different speed and this may affect the waiting times for you as a model.   We will use all reasonable endeavours to meet any performance dates specified in your order confirmation. In the event that we need to change a date and/or location of your treatment, we will contact you immediately and offer you an alternative date and/or location, as appropriate. If the alternative date and/or location is not suitable for you, you may cancel the order and request a refund.

Where appropriate and if the nature of your concern or complaint requires further assessment, we will endeavour to book a review appointment for you as soon as practicable. Please note that if you have had an anti wrinkle injection treatment with us, any review appointment will be appropriate after a minimum of two weeks after you have received the treatment in line with manufacturers guidelines. You will be required to attend one of our training locations for your review appointment which may differ to your original treatment location if this is deemed most appropriate for your care.

  • What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products and/or services we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, in the event of a price discrepancy at your order date, we will charge you the lower amount. If the correct price of the product and/or services at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
  • When you must pay and how you must pay. Prices for individual treatments are available on our website in the Models section. The full price list is also available by clicking on this link.

  1. YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
  • You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will be determined as follows:
  • If what you have bought is misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 14 (Your rights in respect of poor services);
  • If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause2;
  • If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the product, see clause 9.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions
  • Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any services which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
  • we have told you about an upcoming change to the services or these terms which you do not agree to (see clause 6.2);
  • we have told you about an error in the price or description of the services you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
  • there is a risk that our services may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
  • we have suspended supply of the services for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 6 weeks
  • you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
  • Exercising your right to change your mind, as a consumer (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). If you are a consumer then for most products and/or services bought online (or over the telephone) you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.
  • When consumers do not have a right to change their minds. Your right as a consumer to change your mind does not apply in respect of:
  • Neostrata skincare range or EYN skincare range, heliocare and any other retail products and/or
  • services in anticipation of and for your treatment where we have had to incur costs in order to secure your treatment and/or the date of the treatment; and/or
  • services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running; and/or
  • products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them.
  • How long do consumers have to change their minds? Where you have bought services (for example, a cosmetic treatment), you have 24 hours days after the day we email you to confirm your booking. However, once we have completed the services or where one or more circumstances in clause 10.4 apply, you cannot change your mind, even if the period is still running. If you cancel after we have started the services, you must pay us for the services provided up until the time you tell us that you have changed your mind.
  • Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has a right to change their mind (see clause1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for goods or digital content is completed when the product is delivered, downloaded or streamed and paid for. A contract for services is completed when we have finished providing the services and you have paid for them. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has changed their mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.
