Courses

  1. BirthSense courses are services. Provision of the service is considered to have started from the point at which the course begins.
  2. Submission of a booking form does not constitute a guarantee of a course place: a booking is not considered finalised until we have received cleared payment of the full course fee. Until cleared payment has been received and confirmed by BirthSense, the course place will not be considered allocated, and may be booked by another client.
  3. The description of the course and any additional course materials is as set out in our website. Any description is for illustrative purposes only and there may be small discrepancies in content.
  4. BirthSense reserves the right to decline any booking
  5. All course places are booked subject to availability. Once the course is fully booked no further bookings will be accepted.
  6. On receipt of the cleared funds, a confirmation email will be sent to the client. BirthSense endeavours to send confirmation within five working days of receiving the cleared payment.
  7. Any deposits placed to reserve a place on a course are non-refundable.
  8. A course comprises a set number of sessions as defined in the course description and specified in the confirmation letter sent on booking. Payment is charged for a full course, not for individual sessions. We are unable to give refunds for any sessions missed or cancelled by the client.
  9. Should you miss a session we may be able to offer a make-up session on a future course, subject to availability and at the course leader’s discretion. If you know you cannot attend a particular session please speak to your course leader as soon as possible. Alternatively, your course leader may be able to offer you a private session which will incur an additional charge. Speak to your course leader about their private rates.
  10. Course dates and times may be changed in exceptional circumstances. If the new time and date is not convenient to you we will try to offer you an alternative course but if one is not available you will be given a refund for the session or sessions changed. No refund will be given for sessions already taken.
  11. In the unlikely event that the course venue is changed, a new venue will be found within three miles of the original but no refund is available in these circumstances.

Cancellations and refunds

  1. BirthSense and BirthSense practitioners reserve the right to cancel courses or sessions at short-notice, or to change course or session dates or times in the event of situations such as practitioner illness, childcare restrictions, or if the practitioner is working in the capacity of birth doula to a client.
  2. Any class cancelled by BirthSense or the BirthSense practitioner will be rescheduled if possible. If this is not possible or if alternative dates cannot be agreed, all monies paid by the client will be refunded and no further payments will be owed to BirthSense.
  3. All group courses require a minimum number of participants to run. If for any reason these numbers are not reached you will be notified. We will endeavour offer you an alternative arrangement, but if no acceptable alternative can be found or agreed upon you will be entitled to a full refund.
  4. Once a class has been booked and paid for, no refunds will be given for cancellations. We may be able to transfer your booking to another class where availability exists but this is at the sole discretion of your practitioner. Should you wish to request a transfer please contact your practitioner directly or email [email protected]
  5. Exceptions may be made to the above policy in extenuating circumstances. These are at the sole discretion of the practitioner. Should you wish to discuss a cancellation with us please contact your practitioner directly or email [email protected]
