1. Introduction 

By ordering one, or more than one, SEAN PURCELL SBL online Course or Product you have agreed to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, by any additional or supplementary terms and conditions noted in the t&cs tab of the course description of the Course of Product you bought, and by the Appendices to these Terms and Conditions.

2. Terms & Conditions

2.1 These terms and conditions are applicable to any product, service, course or equivalent purchased through, or acquired by enrolling through seanpurcell.co.uk, a domain owned and operated by Sean Purcell(henceforth ‘SEAN PURCELL SBL’) of 3 Beverley Road London W4 2LL.

2.2. You may order a Course from your SEAN PURCELL SBL via the seanpurcell.co.uk website. Your order is accepted by SEAN PURCELL SBL once cleared funds have been received.

2.3. Access to your Course is through the VLE

2.4 Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the Course description, access to your Course shall be given from the date of your Course enrolment and shall end on the date of the exam sitting specified when you booked. For instance, if you book for March 202X, then access to your learning materials will end on your course subject’s March 202X ACCA exam date. See also the deferral and transfer section below.

2.5 SEAN PURCELL SBL is contractually obliged to deliver courses under these terms and conditions. SEAN PURCELL SBL cannot amend these terms and conditions or agree anything that conflicts with these terms, but they can provide more information as to how they will exercise their discretion and / or add additional terms through course descriptions given on the SEAN PURCELL SBL website, or through direct communication with you. If there is a conflict between these terms and any additional terms, then these terms shall prevail.

3, Personal service for the exam your course is designed to prepare you for

3.1. Your Course is personal to you and once you have accessed your Course you may not transfer your rights to access your Course or provide access to your Course, in whole or in part, to any other person. Video content is designed only to be viewed online and should not be recorded for viewing offline. SEAN PURCELL SBL will retain a record of the IP addresses you use to access all materials held on the VLE and reserves the right to suspend or cancel your enrolment should SEAN PURCELL SBL believe you are abusing this clause or if you hide or otherwise disguise your IP address. In such circumstances no refund of any fee will be given.

3.2 SEAN PURCELL SBL does not take any responsibility for visa applications. SEAN PURCELL SBL courses are fully online and therefore are available in all countries that allow you to access the SEAN PURCELL SBL websites and videos.

3.3 To be eligible to buy and remain on a course you must be enrolled on, or be eligible and intend to enrol on, the professional exam and exam diet which your chosen course is designed to prepare you for. SEAN PURCELL SBL has the right to request evidence that this is the case. If you are not enrolled, or eligible and intending to be enrol, on the professional exam which your chosen course is designed to prepare you for (e.g. if you have recently passed the exam, or you have indicated you do not intend to sit your exam), then you may be excluded from your course. In this case no refund will be due to you.

4. Enrolment, re-enrolment, cancellation, refunds and Pass Assurances

4.1 SEAN PURCELL SBL reserves the right to cancel your enrolment on your course at any time at their discretion. Reasons for cancellation may include but are not limited to your inability to access your learning resources for technical or other reasons, your impact on the learning environment of other learners, the inappropriate use of learning materials, the inability of SEAN PURCELL SBL to deliver your Course, or that SEAN PURCELL SBL judges the course to be unsuitable for your needs. In such cases you will be given either a full refund, or, if you have made use of SEAN PURCELL SBL’s learning resources already, a reasonable proportionate refund based on your period of enrolment on your course and / or your use of / downloading of resources on that course.

4.2 You will be enrolled on the VLE within two working days of funds clearing to SEAN PURCELL SBL via a payment gateway such as Stripe (often you will be enrolled immediately), or within five working days of SEAN PURCELL SBL receiving your payment if you pay by bank transfer. You will be enrolled on the course as described on this website, and as noted on your enrolment receipt.

4.3 If you have not downloaded a product or accessed your purchased course on the VLE using your registered name and password then you may cancel your purchase within 14 days of your order and receive a full refund by emailing sean@seanpurcell.co.uk

4.3a If you have purchased and downloaded a downloadable product you are not able to cancel your purchase and no refund will be given.

4.3b If you purchased your course within 14 days AND have accessed your course (or courses) on the VLE (as recorded in the VLE logs) then 50% of the full undiscounted value of any course (or courses) you have accessed will be deducted from your payment and the balance refunded. This is because views of (usually extensive) video content visible on the course front page are not logged. Platinum Package course values will be assumed to divide in the proportion 3:3:1 between tuition, revision and mock, and the value of Revision Plus and Core courses shall be assumed to divide in the proportion 3:2 between revision and mock.

4.4 Cancellation: Where you cancel more than 14 days after purchase no refund will be made.

4.5 If you enrol on an ACCA course you will be asked to supply your ACCA registered name, ACCA number and date of birth (your data). Your data is required by the ACCA to enable us to enrol you on the SEAN PURCELL SBL instance of the ACCA CBE practice platform, and also to allow the ACCA to monitor our pass rates, and thereby ensure continued ACCA ALP accreditation.

4.6 Our inability to enrol you on the ACCA Practice Platform because either you have not provided us with your data or if your data does not reconcile with that held by the ACCA, shall not entitle you to a refund of your course fee or to the alternative delivery of any product which requires the use of the ACCA Practice Platform.

4.7 We require your permission to share your data with the ACCA as part of their Approved Learning Provider Results Service. If SEAN PURCELL SBL is unable to register you on the ACCA Approved Learning Provider Results Service by the standard ACCA enrolment date for the exam you are taking due to you withholding your permission or providing inaccurate or incomplete personal data then you will not be entitled to claim under any Pass Assurance, Pass Guarantee or Free Re-enrolment scheme.

4.8 Where you make a payment on account or pay by instalments you should ensure you note as part of your payment the name of the course and the exam date on your payment. In the absence of such detail you will be enrolled on the next available exam date course for a course of the value covered by your payment, and in such cases you will be bound by these terms and any additional terms of the course on which you are enrolled.

4.9 A Pass Assurance, Pass Guarantee, a Free Re-enrolment offer (henceforth Pass Assurance) or other sales incentive, where offered, will always include conditions that will be set out in the course description, and which must be met before the Pass Assurance offer can be exercised. Pass assurance only applies to Platinum courses (not revision courses). Pass assurance conditions include a minimum score of 40% in the actual exam. You should ensure you read such Pass Assurance offer conditions before purchasing your course.

4.10 Nothing in any Pass Assurance offer, or any other offer or sales incentives shall be taken to be an offer to support you indefinitely until you pass your exam, or a guarantee that you will pass your exam, or indicate any special relationship with any examiner.

 5 .Course amendment / Course fee amendment / Payment by instalment

5.1. SEAN PURCELL SBL reserves the right to withdraw a Course or Courses at any time, or to amend the fee for any Course, or to change the content of your course, or to change the dates and/or times of any webinar delivered under your Course, or to remove you from their course. If you have already enrolled on a Course which is cancelled, or on a course where changes are significantly detrimental to you, then you will be offered the choice between receiving a pro-rata refund or enrolment on an alternative Course if one is available. This clause does not apply to deliberate changes in the price of a Course.

5.2. Where a Course is withdrawn SEAN PURCELL SBL shall endeavour to give you reasonable notice of this.

5.3. Where a student pays for a course by buying the first instalment then any failure to pay any subsequent instalment by the due date shall result in their permanent exclusion from their course or courses. In such cases no refund of earlier instalment payments shall be due. The due date of subsequent instalments shall be specified either within the course description or by email/WhatsApp.

6. Student commitment and behaviour

6.1. Your commitment to and diligent pursuit of your studies is the key to your success. We monitor your use of our materials, and many Courses also include tests, assignments and/or homework. SEAN PURCELL SBL reserves the right to suspend your individual access to a Course in the event that you do not complete such tests, assignments and/or homework adequately without good reason and/or do not respond to reasonable requests for explanations and/or do not participate adequately in a Course on which you are enrolled. In such cases you may be recommended to defer OR permanently excluded from your course OR transferred to another course at the discretion of SEAN PURCELL SBL, and following any such action by SEAN PURCELL SBL you shall not be eligible for any refund.

6.2. If your Course includes Tutor support then this will be provided, at SEAN PURCELL SBL option, via Whatsapp or email, study site forum, Zoom, Webinar or a mutually agreed communication mechanism and:

1. a) support will only be given to assist you in understanding the learning materials provided by the course on which you are enrolled.

2. b) SEAN PURCELL SBL shall respond to your request for support within a reasonable period (usually 24 hours). SEAN PURCELL SBL may advise you of holiday periods when their responses may be delayed.

3. c) in exceptional circumstances SEAN PURCELL SBL may limit the amount of support you receive where you make excessive demands. What constitutes excessive demands is at the discretion of SEAN PURCELL SBL but shall be reasonable. If SEAN PURCELL SBL notifies you of such a limit then you may apply to withdraw from your Course, and in this case, you will be refunded a proportion of your Course fee based on the days from purchase to withdrawal from your course compared to the days from purchase to your exam date.

4. d) tutor support via some channels (e.g. WhatsApp) may require your contact details to be visible to others in that support group. By enrolling on your course and revealing your contact details to SEAN PURCELL SBL then you accept your contact details may become visible to others in one or more support groups associated with your course. If you do not wish to join a specific support group then you should make this clear to your Tutor at the time you purchase your course.

5. e) tutor support will be relevant to the course it is designed to support. For instance, tutor support for a revision course will not include support relevant to a tuition course.

6. f) any and all communications and behaviour shall be professional and mutually respectful. You must not share the intellectual property of others on any support group.  Any unprofessional or disrespectful communication or behaviour may result in you being suspended or excluded from your Course.

7. g) support groups will close within 24 hours before the date of the exam your Course is designed to support.

8. Deferral / Adequate Progress in Tuition / Transfer

7. Exam protocol

7.1 Your initial decision to take an exam should involve a serious commitment that you intend and have the time and resources to study for and sit your exam.

7.2. SEAN PURCELL SBL may recommend you defer your exam sit based on a lack of participation, but the decision to do so, or not to do so, rests solely with you. If you choose to defer your exam sit you should notify SEAN PURCELL SBL as soon as possible.

7.3 If you defer your exam sitting, SEAN PURCELL SBL may, at their sole discretion, offer you the option to enrol on a later Course (a Course Deferral) either for free or at a reduced fee. If you choose to take your exam following a decision to defer then your tutor may, at their option, cancel your Course Deferral.

7.4 Deferral after the ACCA standard enrolment date for your exam will not be possible without evidenced extenuating circumstances.

7.5 Where you are paying for your course by instalments then any Course Deferral you must continue to pay all instalment(s) by the previously agreed due date(s) to maintain your Course Deferral enrolment. If you are unable to make any previously agreed instalment payment(s) by the agreed due date(s) then you should speak to SEAN PURCELL SBL before the due date. If you do not pay an instalment by the due date SEAN PURCELL SBL may, at their discretion, terminate your enrolment and no refund will be due in such cases.

7.6 Unless SEAN PURCELL SBL informs you otherwise in writing, where you re-enrol on a later Course at no cost to you (e.g. under a deferral or transfer) then that re-enrolment shall not include any Pass Assurance or Free Re-enrolment element otherwise applicable to the course on which you are re-enrolled.

8. Webinars / webinar recordings

8.1 Where a webinar is scheduled, but no student has logged on to the webinar within 15 minutes of the commencement of that webinar, the tutor may cancel that webinar. Such webinars are recorded and a copy will be circulated to eligible students.

9. Fees / Value Added Tax (VAT)

9.1. Fees for Courses and Resources are quoted in pounds sterling exclusive of VAT (if applicable) and any import duties, taxes and customs clearances which may be payable either by you or by SEAN PURCELL SBL. SEAN PURCELL SBL is not currently VAT registered in the UK.

9.2. All our Courses/Resources include a personal service element by SEAN PURCELL SBL and are therefore not classed as electronic services for VAT purposes by the EU/UK. As such they are treated as delivered at the location of SEAN PURCELL SBL under UK/EU law.

9.3. If you are a registered business outside the UK then you may not be due to pay VAT.  Please discuss your situation with SEAN PURCELL SBL in such cases.

Appendix 1 . Complaints policy

Introduction

This document outlines the policy which applies to complaints by students concerning their treatment by SEAN PURCELL SBL.  These guidelines are designed to ensure complaints are investigated and resolved in a fair and timely manner, and that SEAN PURCELL SBL learns from such complaints and implements appropriate responses.

Policy

1. Complaints should, where reasonably possible, be raised informally with your tutor.

2. Formal complaints should be made as soon as reasonably possible after the informal complaints procedures explained here are exhausted, and within 60 calendar days of the occurrence of the event which is the subject of the complaint.

3. If submitted more than 40 calendar days after the event which is the subject of the complaint, then a formal complaint will only be considered where there are good reasons for the delay. An explanation for any such delay, together with authoritative evidence to support such lateness, should accompany any Formal Complaint.

4. Formal complaints should be made by email sean@seanpurcell.co.uk Any communication received which states that it is a formal complaint will be treated as such. Any formal complaint received by email will be acknowledged as having been received within 24 hours. If no acknowledgement is received then it is likely your email has not been received, and you should contact us by WhatsApp on +44 7427 953549

5. A formal complaint should:

1.  a) state the nature of the complaint,

2.  b) state whether your complaint concerns the actions or non-actions of a particular person,

3.  c) provide evidence to support the complaint, and

4.  d) detail the outcome and/or remedy being sought.

The formal complaint investigation can only investigate what has been complained about on the basis of evidence available to SEAN PURCELL SBL. You should ensure all issues are addressed, and that you provide what evidence you can to support your complaint. This evidence should include a full WhatsApp Export (with media) of any WhatsApp chat.

1. Where your complaint concerns the actions of a particular person then that person may, if appropriate, be informed of your complaint and allowed to present evidence to explain their actions but will not otherwise be involved in the handling of your complaint. Your identity will only be revealed as part of this process where this is necessary for the person complained of to respond to the complaint.

2. SEAN PURCELL SBL will investigate your complaint in a timely fashion, will keep you informed of the progress of your complaint, and will inform you of the outcome of your complaint within 14 days unless there is good reason for any investigation to take longer.

3. SEAN PURCELL SBL is governed by professional ethical codes. This means SEAN PURCELL SBL may be obliged under those ethical codes to inform the ACCA or another professional body where evidence is found of a breach of those professional ethical codes by your tutor or yourself.
