TERMS & CONDITIONS

Booking

A booking does not constitute the creation of a contract and Barefoot Birthing reserves the right to decline to process a booking for any reason whatsoever. If the booking is not able to be fulfilled the full cost will be refunded.

Cancellation

The cost of the course will be repaid in full if your baby arrives before the course start date or in the unlikely event of the course being cancelled.

Should you need to cancel the course less than two weeks before the course start date, the full cost of the course will be kept and is not refundable.

Should you need to cancel the course less than four weeks (but not more than two weeks) before the course start date, 50% of the cost of the course will be refunded to you.

Any cancellation made more than four weeks before the course start date will incur a £25.00 administration charge.

Barefoot Birthing 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 any price increase.
