Training Terms and Conditions
These Training terms and conditions relate to any North East Medical Services Ltd (NEMS) training and events taking place on or after 4th January 2023.
This document (together with the documents referred to on it) tells you (“you” means the party contracting with NEMS for Courses) the terms and conditions on which we (“we”, “us” or “NEMS” means the North East Medical Services) supply training courses and events (“Courses”). Please read these terms and conditions carefully before booking any Courses on our Website. You should understand that by booking any Courses, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. You should print a copy of these terms and conditions for future reference.
1. Booking Courses or events
Bookings for Courses can be made via our “Website” (means www.ne-medical.co.uk) at the following link: https://ne-medical.co.uk/training_calendar/ or by contacting our Training & Events Team on +44 (0) 1482 242300 or at info@ne-medical.co.uk. For online bookings, please select the Course that you require and click on the “Register” button, following the instructions step by step.
2. Description and pricing of Courses
Although we make every effort to ensure the prices listed are correct, mistakes may sometimes be made. If a mistake is discovered in the price of the Course that you have booked prior to confirmation of your booking, we will tell you and give you the option of either reconfirming your booking at the correct price or cancelling your booking. In this instance, if we are unable to contact you or we receive no reply from you, your booking will be cancelled. NEMS reserves the right to change prices listed without notice. NEMS also reserves the right to refuse to supply to any individual or company.
3. Provisional bookings
When booking a Course online, acknowledgement of the booking request is emailed within 1 working day of
the request being received by NEMS. Where a booking made online, by email or over the telephone is not
accompanied by full payment or a formal purchase order (sent either by post or by email), the booking will be
deemed to be provisional (“Provisional Booking”). Provisional Bookings will only be held until 2 (two) weeks
prior to commencement of the Course, after this any Provisional Bookings will be cancelled.
When payment has been received in full, or a formal purchase order has been provided (either by email or by
post), the individuals’ place on the Course will then be confirmed and a binding contract will have been
entered into between NEMS and the booking party. Please refer further to the “How to pay” section below.
4. Third party bookings
We accept bookings from third party companies acting on a delegate’s or organisation’s behalf, however the
booking information supplied must relate directly to the delegate(s) in question and include the following:
- Delegate name
- Company name and address (site address)
- Direct phone number
- Direct email address – this can be a work or personal email address
Bookings cannot be processed without this information being provided in full. This is to enable us to contact
the delegate(s) directly when necessary (such as to provide joining instructions or attendance certificates) and
also to provide appropriate health & safety and security measures at course venues.
5. Cancellation of Courses
NEMS reserves the right to amend or cancel any Course, Course times, dates or published prices. Changes to
Course prices, times and dates will be advised before the Course start date and any Course already paid in full
will not be subject to the increased price. As a Course may be cancelled at any time up to four weeks prior to
its start, we recommend that delegates do not make travel or accommodation arrangements before this time.
Any travel, accommodation or subsistence costs incurred (including incidental costs such as car parking) are
entirely the responsibility of the delegate or the delegate’s organisation.
NEMS does not accept any liability for reimbursement of any costs incurred whatsoever in relation to its
training Courses or events. Where a Course has been cancelled, delegates will be offered an alternative date
for the same Course or a refund.
6. How to Pay
If paying by purchase order, the invoice will need to be addressed to the booker or delegate’s employer.
Payment must be made within 30 days from the date of the invoice or if the booking is made less than 14 days
before the Course date, payment is required before the Course start.

is received.

prior to the delegate attending the Course, NEMS reserves the right to refuse admission until payment has been
made in full.
