When a Contract With Shaping Little Minds Is Formed
Acceptance of your booking request will only take place when Shaping Little Minds (referred to as “SLM” in these terms and conditions) sends the booking confirmation email to you to confirm the booking. At that point, a contract will come into existence between you and SLM which includes these terms and conditions.
If you do not receive a booking confirmation email, then please call Us or contact Us using the contact details on our webpage.
Where the person (referred to as “you” in these terms and conditions) making the booking is not the person who will be accompanying and having care and control of the child attending the booked SLM session (the carer) you are responsible for ensuring that the carer has read and complies with these terms and conditions and you are responsible for the carer’s behaviour and any breach of these terms and conditions by the carer.
If SLM is unable to accept your booking request We will inform you and no contract will be formed between you and SLM. In these circumstances you will not be charged or, if you have already paid for the booked SLM session you will be refunded the amount paid by you.
Our Rights To Make Changes
We may have to occasionally change the SLM session to reflect changes in relevant laws, health and safety requirements (including any social distancing requirements or guidelines) and regulatory requirements. These changes will not affect your use of the SLM session.
If we make any change which affect your rights under these terms and conditions or your use of SLM session in any material way you will be notified when the relevant changes take effect and will be given the opportunity to end the contract before the changes take effect and receive a refund for any SLM session paid for but not yet completed.
Booking Changes
Booking changes are possible up to 12 hours before the session.
If you wish to make a change to the time, date or venue of the booked SLM session, please contact Us. You will be informed if the change is possible. If it is possible, you will be notified about any changes to the price of the SLM session, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and you will be requested to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.
If the requested change cannot be made or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract (see paragraph below).
Cancellations
You can cancel your booking at any time within 7 calendar days from the date the contract between you and us is first formed.
To exercise your right, you must inform Us in writing of your decision to cancel within the cancellation period.
Important please read as it affects your ability to cancel.
If you start or attend your SLM sessions during and before the end of the cancellation period (e.g. attending regular classes within the cancellation period) and then subsequently exercise your right to cancel because the cancellation period is still running, you must pay the cost of the SLM sessions which have been provided to you up until the date you exercised your right to cancel.
Refunds
Any refunds due to you will be made as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to terminate within the cancellation period and are entitled to a refund it will be processed no later than 14 days after the date on which your notice to cancel was received. Please note an amount for the supply of any SLM session to you during the cancellation period may be deducted from your refund. The deduction will be in proportion to what has been supplied, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.
All refunds will be issued using the same method you used for payment unless you expressly agree otherwise.
Your Responsability
You promise and represent to us that:
– the information you provided at the time of booking either via the online booking system or on the telephone is complete and accurate and that any changes will be notified to us;

– you agree to compensate Us on demand for any and all loss, liability, costs and expenses which your franchisee may suffer or incur as a result of any breach of this condition by you or your carer.
We Are Not Medically Trained
Whilst we give you the option to provide us with information about your child’s health and needs so that your franchisee is better prepared to provide the SLM session more generally, you acknowledge that our staff are not medically trained and are not qualified to assess whether you or your child are fit and well enough to take part in the SLM session. Please contact your GP if you are in any doubt before starting a SLM session. Also, if you or your child feels unwell before or during a SLM session, please let the staff know as soon as possible.
Right To Exclude
You, your carer and any child accompanying you or your carer may be excluded from any SLM session being delivered at the venue where the SLM experience is being performed either permanently or for such period as your franchisee specifies if in the opinion of your franchisee the behaviour of you or your carer or any child attending the SLM session with you or your carer is unacceptable, detrimentally disruptive to any class or puts other children or adults attending the SLM session at risk or disruption. In these circumstances the price you have paid will either not be refunded and us will re-commence the SLM session as soon as we are able to do so or, if you, your carer or any child accompanying you is permanently excluded from the SLM session or you decide you wish to cancel the contract, your franchisee will refund you any price paid by you in advance that relates to the part of the SLM session not yet performed.
