Any liability arising under any agreement between you and us shall be limited to any sums paid by you to us. As far as permitted by law, we shall not be liable to any person for losses or damages that were not reasonably foreseeable and that were not caused by any breach on our part.

If you require any changes to these terms, please request such changes in writing to Distance Learning Plus. We do not undertake to incorporate such changes, but any mutually beneficial suggestions will be considered.

We shall not be liable to any person for any direct or indirect loss or damage as a result of your course enrolment. Should any liability arise, it will be limited to the course fee paid.

Responsibility for Course Materials

We affirm that the course materials provided will meet a satisfactory standard. We aim to produce materials of the highest quality however we do not affirm that they will be error free. You are responsible for inspecting the course materials as soon as is reasonably possible following receipt. It is your sole responsibility to contact us should the course materials not be received in a satisfactory condition.

Accreditation

Many of our courses are accredited by national Awarding Organisations, including (but not limited to) Focus Awards Due to changes in certification processes, it may occasionally be necessary to substitute an Awarding Organisation for another of similar or superior status. Such substituted accreditation will always be from an Ofqual-regulated provider. We reserve the right to do so according to operational requirements, without individual notification.

We will not allow copying of work and where plagiarism is found we reserve the right to withdraw the student from the course without a refund of the course fee.

Posting of Assignments

Assignments must be submitted using the online student interface, or exceptionally by post in specific cases agreed by us in writing. It is suggested you keep copy of such submissions to protect against loss, and if submitting by post you would be well advised to use a trackable guaranteed delivery service. We do not accept any liability for non-delivery.

You will receive details of your Direct Debit payments in a letter, included with your course materials. If any of the details on this letter are incorrect, or you wish to make an amendment, please contact us straight away in order to ensure you don’t incur additional charges.

All outstanding debts to us must be made before we will issue you with a certificate. Failure to make necessary payments may also result in withdrawal of tutor support.
