Where to find information about us and our products

You can find everything you need to know about us, Inclusive Employers Limited, and our products on our website before you order and these are the terms on which we supply products to you that are ordered on our website. We also confirm the key information to you in writing before you order, either by email or in your online account.

Please read these terms carefully before ordering any products us.

You should print a copy of these terms for future reference.

We don’t give business customers all the same rights as consumers

For example, business customers can’t cancel their orders, they have different rights where there is a problem with a product, and we don’t compensate them in the same way for losses caused by us or our products. Where a term applies just to businesses or just to consumers, this is clearly stated. You are a business customer if you are buying products wholly or mainly for use in connection with your trade, business, craft or profession, even if you are an individual.

When you buy from us you are agreeing that:

We only accept orders when we’ve checked them.
Sometimes we reject orders.
We charge you when we accept your order.
We charge interest on late payments.
We pass on increases in VAT.
We’re not responsible for delays outside our control.
Products can vary slightly from their pictures.
You’re responsible for making sure your measurements are accurate.
We charge you if you don’t give us information we need or do preparatory work as agreed with us
If you are a consumer and you bought online, you have a legal right to change your mind plus extra rights under our guarantee.
You can end an on-going contract (find out how).
You have rights if there is something wrong with your product.
We can change products and these terms.
We can suspend supply (and you have rights if we do).
We can withdraw products.
We can end our contract with you.
We don’t compensate you for all losses caused by us or our products.
We use your personal data as set out in our Privacy Notice.
You have several options for resolving disputes with us.
Other important terms apply to our contract.

If you are a business customer, this is our entire agreement with you

If you are a business customer these terms constitute the entire agreement between us in relation to your purchase. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise, representation, assurance or warranty made or given by us or on our behalf which is not set out in these terms and that you have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation or negligent misstatement based on any stateWe only accept orders when we’ve checked them

We only accept orders when we’ve checked them

We contact you to confirm we’ve received your order and then we contact you again to confirm we’ve accepted it.

Sometimes we reject orders

Sometimes we reject orders, for example, because a product is unexpectedly out of stock, because you are located outside the UK or because the product was mispriced by us. When this happens, we let you know as soon as possible and refund any sums you have paid.

We charge you when we accept your order

However, for some products we take payment at regular intervals, as explained to you during the order process. If your product is goods (rather than digital content or services), you will own it once we have received payment in full.

If you are a business customer, you have no set-off rights

If you are a business customer you must pay all amounts due to us under these terms in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).

We charge interest on late payments

If we’re unable to collect any payment you owe us we charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the Bank of England base rate from time to time. This interest accrues on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You pay us the interest together with any overdue amount.

We pass on increases in VAT

If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

We’re not responsible for delays outside our control

If our supply of your product is delayed by an event outside our control, we contact you as soon as possible to let you know and do what we can to reduce the delay. As long as we do this, we won’t compensate you for the delay, but you can contact our Customer Service Team: by email on info@inclusiveemployers.co.uk or telephone on 0207 8030689 or fill in the online form at Contact Inclusive Employers to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for in advance but not received.

A product’s true colour may not exactly match that shown on your device or its packaging may be slightly different.

We charge you if you don’t give us information we need or do preparatory work as agreed with us

We charge you additional sums if you don’t give us information we’ve asked for about how we can access your property for delivery or to provide services. For example, we might need to re-deliver or reschedule services.

If you are a consumer and you bought online, you have a legal right to change your mind

Your legal right to change your mind. For most of our products bought online, you have a legal right to change your mind about your purchase and receive a refund of what you paid for it, including the delivery costs. This is subject to some conditions, as set out below.

Your legal rights

14 days to change your mind, online sales only.

You pay costs of return

When you can’t change your mind. You can’t change your mind about an order for:

digital products, after you have started to download or stream these;
services, once these have been completed;
goods that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised; and
goods which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.

The deadline for changing your mind. If you change your mind about a product, you must let us know no later than 14 days after:

the day we deliver your product, if it is goods. If the goods are for regular delivery (for example, a subscription), you can only change your mind after the first delivery. If the goods are split into several deliveries over different days, the period runs from the day after the last delivery.
the day we confirm we have accepted your order, if it is for a service.
the day we confirm we have accepted your order, if it is for digital content for download or streaming, although you can’t change your mind about digital content once we have started providing it.

How to let us know. To let us know you want to change your mind, contact our Customer Service Team: by email on info@inclusiveemployers.co.uk or telephone on 0207 8030689 or fill in the online form at Contact Inclusive Employers.

You have to return the product at your own cost. If your product is goods, you have to return it to us within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind. Returns are at your own cost. You can send the product back to us, using an established delivery service. You should keep a receipt or other evidence from the delivery service that proves you have sent the product and when you sent it. If you don’t do this and we don’t receive the goods at all or within a reasonable time we won’t refund you the price.

We only refund standard delivery costs. For example, we don’t refund any extra you have paid for express delivery or delivery at a particular time.

You have to pay for services you received before you change your mind. If you bought a service, we don’t refund you for the time you were receiving it before you told us you’d changed your mind.

When and how we refund you. If your product is a service, digital content or goods that haven’t been delivered or that we’re collecting from you, we refund you as soon as possible and within 14 days of you telling us you’ve changed your mind. If your product is goods that you’re sending back to us, we refund you within 14 days of receiving them back from you (or receiving evidence you’ve sent them to us). We refund you by the method you used for payment. We don’t charge a fee for the refund.

You can end an on-going contract (find out how)

Our cancellation policy for business customers varies depending on the type of products purchased.

Events

You may cancel an order for a place at a training course or event offered by us provided that notice of such cancellation is received no less than 14 days prior to the day of the training course or event, in which case we shall refund 50% of the price to you. Unless otherwise specified, any cancellation notices received by us less than 14 days prior to the day of the training course or event shall not be eligible for a refund.
You may send a substitute attendee if the original attendee can no longer attend but you must let us know in advance of the training course or event if you wish to do so.
Non-payment and/or non-attendance do not constitute valid cancellation, and we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to charge (and you agree to pay) the full price of the training course or event in such circumstances.
Where more than one training course or event place is booked together each place may be cancelled individually and we will refund you a pro-rata amount of the price paid in accordance with these terms.

2. Other goods or services

If, at any time after you have placed an order, you wish to change or cancel the order, you should email or telephone us on info@inclusiveemployers.co.uk or 0207 8030689. We may at our absolute discretion accept any change or cancellation. If we do accept the change or cancellation, we may recover from you any unavoidable losses that we suffer as a result of the change or cancellation and may charge you the price for the products which is ruling as at the date of the change or cancellation (opposed to any price quoted as at the date of the order).

Where you are a consumer customer, we tell you when and how you can end an on-going contract with us (for example, for regular services or a subscription to digital content or goods) during the order process and we confirm this information to you in writing after we’ve accepted your order. If you have any questions, please contact our Customer Service Team: by email on info@inclusiveemployers.co.uk or telephone on 0207 8030689 or fill in the online form at Contact Inclusive Employers.

Summary of your key legal rights

If your product is goods, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your product your legal rights entitle you to the following:
Up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get a refund.
Up to six months: if your goods can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund, in most cases.
Up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back.
If your product is digital content, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says digital content must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality:
If your digital content is faulty, you’re entitled to a repair or a replacement.
If the fault can’t be fixed, or if it hasn’t been fixed within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience, you can get some or all of your money back.
If you can show the fault has damaged your device and we haven’t used reasonable care and skill, you may be entitled to a repair or compensation
If your product is services, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says:
You can ask us to repeat or fix a service if it’s not carried out with reasonable care and skill, or get some money back if we can’t fix it.
If a price hasn’t been agreed upfront, what you’re asked to pay must be reasonable.
If a time hasn’t been agreed upfront, it must be carried out within a reasonable time.

Your rights if you are a business. We warrant that on delivery, any products which are goods shall:

conform in all material respects with their description and any relevant specification;
be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship;
be of satisfactory quality (within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979); and
be fit for any purpose held out by us.

Your remedies if you are a business. Unless an exception applies (see Exceptions to business customers’ warranty) if:

you give us notice in writing within a reasonable time of discovery that a product does not comply with the business customer warranty (see Your rights if you are a consumer);
we are given a reasonable opportunity of examining such product; and
you return such product to us at our cost,

we shall, at our option, repair or replace the defective product, or refund the price of the defective product in full and this will be your only remedy for breach of the warranty. These terms shall apply to any repaired or replacement products supplied by us.

Exceptions to business customers’ warranty. We will not be liable for a product’s failure to comply with the business customer warranty (see Your rights if you are a business) if:

you make any further use of such product after telling us it is non-compliant;
the defect arises because you failed to follow our oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use or maintenance of the product or (if there are none) good trade practice;
the defect arises because we followed any drawing, design or specification supplied by you;
you alter or repair the product without our written consent; or
the defect arises because of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal working conditions.

We can change products and these terms

Changes we can always make. We can always change a product:

to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
to make minor technical adjustments and improvements. These are changes that don’t affect your use of the product; and
to update digital content, provided that the digital content always matches the description of it that we provided to you before you bought it. We might ask you to install these updates.

We can suspend supply (and you have rights if we do)

We can suspend the supply of a product. We do this to:

deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; or
make changes to the product (see We can change products and these terms).

We let you know and may allow you to terminate. We contact you in advance to tell you we’re suspending supply, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we suspend supply, or tell you we’re going to suspend supply, for more than one month you can contact our Customer Service Team: by email on info@inclusiveemployers.co.uk or telephone on 0207 8030689 or fill in the online form at Contact Inclusive Employers, to end the contract and we’ll refund any sums you’ve paid in advance for products you won’t receive.

We can withdraw products

We can stop providing a product, such as an ongoing service or a subscription for digital content or goods. We let you know at least one month in advance, and we refund any sums you’ve paid in advance for products which won’t be provided.

We can end our contract with you
We can end our contract with you for a product and claim any compensation due to us if:

you don’t make any payment to us when it’s due and you still don’t make payment within 14 days of our reminding you that payment is due;
you don’t, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information, cooperation or access that we need to provide the product; or
you don’t, within a reasonable time, either allow us to deliver the product to you or collect it from us.

We don’t compensate you for all losses caused by us or our products

Our liability to consumers. We’re not responsible for losses you suffer caused by us breaking this contract if the loss is:

Unexpected. It was not obvious that it would happen and nothing you said to us before we accepted your order meant we should have expected it (so, in the law, the loss was unforeseeable).
Caused by a delaying event outside our control. As long as we have taken the steps set out in the section We’re not responsible for delays outside our control.
Avoidable. Something you could have avoided by taking reasonable action. For example, damage to your own digital content or device, which was caused by digital content we supplied and which you could have avoided by following our advice to apply a free update or by correctly following the installation instructions or having the minimum system requirements advised by us.

Our liability for any loss you suffer in connection with your trade, business, craft or profession is limited, as described in Our liability to businesses.

Our liability to businesses. If you’re a business, then, except in respect of the losses described in Losses we never limit or exclude:

we shall not be liable to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, for any loss of profit, or any indirect or consequential loss arising under or in connection with any contract between us; and
our total liability to you for all other losses arising under or in connection with any contract between us, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall be limited to one hundred per cent (100%) of the total sums paid by you for products under such contract.

Losses we never limit or exclude. Nothing in these terms shall limit or exclude our liability for:

death or personal injury caused by negligence to the extent preserved by section 2(1) of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977;
fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982;
defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987; or
any liability that cannot legally be limited.

No implied terms about goods. Except to the extent expressly stated in Your rights if you are a business, we exclude all terms implied by sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and sections 3 to 5 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982.

We use your personal data as set out in our Privacy Notice
How we use any personal data you give us is set out in our Privacy Notice: Privacy Policy – Inclusive Employers.

You have several options for resolving disputes with us

Our complaints policy. Our Customer Service Team: by email on info@inclusiveemployers.co.uk or telephone on 0207 8030689 or fill in the online form at Contact Inclusive Employers will do their best to resolve any problems you have with us or our products as per our Complaints policy, which is available on request.

You can go to court. These terms are governed by English law. If you are a consumer then, wherever you live, you can bring claims against us in the English courts and if you live in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring claims against us in the courts of the country you live in. If you are a consumer, we can claim against you in the courts of the country you live in. If you are a business, you irrevocably agree to submit all disputes arising out of or in connection with our contract with you to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

Other important terms apply to our contract

We can transfer our contract with you, so that a different organisation is responsible for supplying your product. We’ll tell you in writing if this happens and if you are a consumer we’ll ensure that the transfer won’t affect your rights under the contract.

You can only transfer your contract with us to someone else if we agree to this. If you’re a consumer, you can transfer our consumer guarantee (as explained in Our goodwill guarantee) to a new owner of the product. We can require the new owner to prove you transferred the product to them. If you’re a business, you need our agreement to transfer your contract with us and it’s entirely up to us whether we give it.

Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. Nobody else can enforce it and neither of us will need to ask anybody else to sign-off on ending or changing it.

If a court invalidates some of this contract, the rest of it will still apply. If a court or other authority decides that some of these terms are unlawful, the rest will continue to apply.

Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. We might not immediately chase you for not doing something (like paying) or for doing something you’re not allowed to, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do it later.
