Please read these terms and conditions carefully before signing up for the Dadvengers Expectant Fathers Course. By registering for the course, you agree to be bound by these terms.
1.1 These terms and conditions ("Terms") apply to the Dadvengers Expectant Fathers Course (the "Course") provided by Dadvengers CIC, a community interest company registered in England and Wales under company number 13907084, whose registered office is at 64 Brookdale, London, N11 1BN ("Dadvengers", "we", "us", "our").
1.2 You can contact us by email at info@dadvengers.com or by post at the address above. If we need to contact you, we will do so using the email address or telephone number you provide when registering.
1.3 By registering for the Course, you confirm that: (a) you are aged 18 or over, or will be by the date the Course commences; (b) you have legal capacity to enter into a binding contract; and (c) you are purchasing the Course for the personal use of the attending father (or co-parent/partner, as applicable) only, and not for resale or commercial use.
2.1 If you book online, by phone, or by any other means without meeting us in person, you have a cooling-off period of 14 days from the date you complete your booking, during which you can cancel for a full refund.
2.2 To cancel during the cooling-off period, please email info@dadvengers.com with the subject line "Dadvengers Course Cancellation", including your name and booking reference. We will confirm receipt by email and process any refund within 14 days.
2.3 If the Course is due to start within the 14 day cooling-off period, by confirming your booking you are asking us to begin providing the Course straight away. If you then cancel after the Course has started, the refund will be reduced to reflect the part of the Course you have already received.
3.1 Full payment for the Course is required at the point of booking. Your place on the Course is not confirmed until payment has been received in full.
3.2 Outside of the cooling-off period described in Section 2, you may reschedule your place on the Course to another available date free of charge, provided you notify us at least 48 hours before the original Course start date.
3.3 A place may only be rescheduled once free of charge. If you wish to reschedule again, a further booking fee will apply at the price in force at the time.
After the cooling-off period has expired, Course fees are non-refundable except where required by law or where these Terms provide otherwise. You may request to rearrange dates of the course as per clause 3.2 above.
4.1 The Course is delivered either remotely via a virtual meeting platform or in person at a venue confirmed at the time of booking.
4.2 For remote courses, we will send you sign-in details by email, to the address used at registration, no later than one week before the Course start date. It is your responsibility to check for these details and contact us promptly if you have not received them. For in-person courses, venue and arrival details will be confirmed in the same way.
4.3 If we have to cancel or change a session for any reason, we will take all reasonable steps to notify attendees as soon as possible and will arrange a new date for you to attend. Refunds are not available where a session is rearranged under this clause.
4.4 Events Outside Our Reasonable Control: We are not responsible for delays or failure to deliver the Course where this is caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including severe weather, illness of facilitators, government restrictions, failure of utilities or internet services, or other unforeseen events. Where this happens, we will take reasonable steps to rearrange the affected session or offer an alternative where reasonably practicable.
4.4 Participants must not sell, promote, or advertise any products or services to other attendees during the Course without our prior written permission. We may remove a participant who breaches this clause.
4.5 If you arrive more than 30 minutes after a session has started, we may refuse entry where this would significantly disrupt the session or prevent you from receiving a meaningful part of the Course. Where possible, we will discuss alternative arrangements with you.
4.6 We may remove a participant from a session where their behaviour is abusive, threatening, disruptive to other attendees, or otherwise in clear breach of these Terms. Where reasonably practicable, we will give a verbal warning first. If you are removed under this clause for a reason other than non-payment, we will consider a partial refund reflecting any part of the Course you have not received.
5.1 The Course is delivered only by approved Dadvengers facilitators.
5.2 We will use reasonable care and skill to ensure that information shared during the Course reflects up-to-date guidance from relevant professional sources at the time of delivery.
5.3 Guidance and best practice in areas such as childbirth, parenting, and infant care can change after the Course has been delivered. We are not responsible for you continuing to rely on advice given during the Course if that advice is later superseded by updated guidance, provided the advice was reasonable and accurate at the time it was given.
5.4 The Course provides general guidance and peer support only. It does not constitute medical, psychological, legal, or other professional advice, and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified healthcare professional. You should always seek the advice of a doctor, midwife, or other qualified professional with any questions you may have regarding a medical or psychological condition.
5.5 We do not guarantee any particular outcome or result for any individual attending the Course.
5.6 You acknowledge that some information shared during the Course may already be publicly available elsewhere.
5.7 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
5.8 Subject only to clause 5.7, we exclude all liability, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for any loss, damage, injury, or death arising from your decision to follow, or not follow, general guidance discussed during the Course.
5.9 Subject only to clause 5.7, our total liability to you in connection with the Course, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed the total amount you paid for the Course.
6.1 We (or our licensors) own all intellectual property rights in the Course and its content. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any such rights to you or any other person.
6.2 You may not copy, reproduce, publish, share, sell, or otherwise distribute any content or materials from the Course to any third party, except for your own personal, non-commercial reference.
6.3 You may not make audio or video recordings of any part of the Course without our prior written consent.
6.4 We may record sessions for quality, training, or promotional purposes. Where we intend to use a recording in a way that identifies you (for example, in promotional material), we will ask for your specific consent at the relevant time; you may decline, withdraw consent before the recording is used, and continuing to attend the Course is not conditional on giving such consent. Recordings made solely for internal quality or facilitator training purposes will be kept only as long as reasonably necessary and handled in accordance with our Privacy Notice.
7.1 We will collect, use, and store your personal data in accordance with UK data protection law and our Privacy Notice, available at [link to Privacy Notice]. This explains what data we collect, why, how long we keep it, and your rights, including the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
8.1 You agree that we may communicate with you mainly by email, including by sending notices, confirmations, and information relevant to the Course. This does not affect your statutory rights.
9.1 We may update these Terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the law, regulatory requirements, or how we deliver the Course. We will not increase the price you have already agreed to pay for a Course you have booked.
9.2 Where a change affects a Course you have already booked and paid for, we will notify you by email at least 7 days before it takes effect. If you do not wish to accept the change, you may cancel your booking for a full refund within 14 days of being notified, even if this falls outside the cooling-off period in Section 2.
10.1 If we do not enforce any of these Terms at any time, this does not waive our right to enforce them later. Any waiver must be in writing and expressly described as a waiver to be effective.
10.2 If any part of these Terms is found by a court or regulator to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest of the Terms will remain in full force.
10.3 These Terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. If you are a consumer resident in Scotland or Northern Ireland, mandatory consumer protections under the law of your country of residence will continue to apply, and you may also be able to bring proceedings in your local courts.
10.4 Nothing in these Terms affects your other statutory rights as a consumer.
Thank you for reading these Terms. By registering for and attending the Course, you confirm that you accept them.
