If you use this website you agree to comply with and be bound by the following terms & conditions, which together with our Privacy & Cookie Policy, Disclosure Policy and Copyright & IP notes, govern the website owner’s relationship with you in relation to this website.
When you register for one or more of The Design Trust’s courses, or purchase one of our memberships, publications or e-books then you agree to the following terms & conditions:
- All our products and services are priced in GBP £ as we are based in London (UK). Any approximate US Dollar equivalent will be given as a reference only. When you pay through your selected payment channel (Paypal or Stripe) then you will be charged in your local currency at your selected payment provider’s exchange rate of that date. If you want to pay directly via invoice then note that any international bank charges are payable by yourself, not Dream Plan Do Ltd/The Design Trust.
- Our prices are inclusive of UK VAT, currently at 20%. If you are a VAT registered business within the EU and purchase from us then please get in touch asap on info@thedesigntrust.co.uk if VAT has been charged and you are unable to use the VAT invoice to reclaim with your own tax agency.
- Your purchase is subject to any applicable tax in your country, which will be charged, but is not controlled by us.
- You confirm that you are purchasing a single license for our online courses, memberships and other online publications, and is for your individual, non-commercial use only. If we would discover that you have been sharing your private log in details with others then we will immediately close your account, without any refunds. If you would use our copyrighted content for commercial purposes then we will take legal action. If you would like to have access for larger groups, then please get in touch with us on info@thedesigntrust.co.uk
- When you join our Business Club membership then note that this is a subscription-based membership, and your next monthly or annual payment will automatically be taken by Paypal or Stripe on the next scheduled payment date. Annual Business Club members will be emailed 10 days prior to their due payment date.
- Faulty products or downloads. If there is an issue with our physical products (e.g. the diary planner) or downloads then get in touch with us asap in writing to info@thedesigntrust.co.uk, ideally within 7 days of receiving the goods and include a clear description of the issue or a photograph. We will endeavor to rectify any issues as soon as possible on an individual basis. You can return our physical publications within 30 days if you are in the UK, and 45 days outside of the UK.
- Non-payment of installments or membership subscription: Some of our online courses can be paid for in installments and our Business Club membership can be paid for on a monthly basis. If there is an issue with your payment then you will receive an urgent email message to settle your payment asap. For example your bankcard might have been changed recently or you don’t have enough money in the bank account. You will get 7 days to resolve the issue, but if you do not fix it within that time frame then we have the right to stop access to the course or membership immediately, and you are not eligible for any refunds.
- When you purchase our physical products from outside of the UK then you will be charged additional international postage costs. When possible we will send your purchase ‘tracked and signed for’, and you will receive a separate email with the details. We are not responsible for the payment of any additional duties or taxes when your purchase arrives in your country or at your door.
- Refunds for our online courses are only given before the start of your first online class if you contact us by email. Any exceptions will be decided on a case-by-case basis for extraordinary personal circumstances and at the sole discretion of Patricia van den Akker, the Director of Dream Plan Do Ltd and The Design Trust. You can contact her on patricia@thedesigntrust.co.uk
- No refunds are given for our Annual Business Club or Strategic Away Day Club memberships, gift vouchers, e-books or other downloads. You can cancel your membership at any time, but no part-refunds will be given for any payments already made. You will continue to have access to the relevant membership hub for the duration of your payment period. Any exceptions will be decided on a case-by-case basis for extraordinary personal circumstances and at the sole discretion of Patricia van den Akker, the Director of Dream Plan Do Ltd and The Design Trust. You can contact her on patricia@thedesigntrust.co.uk
- Refunds for our publications are given only if you return the goods in a good sale-able condition, in the original packaging and within 14 days of you receiving the goods. You will be responsible for the return postage fee and any taxes or duties. Your returned purchase must be send in appropriate packaging and ‘recorded and signed for’ so that it is insured.
- You give permission for us to add your details to our database system, and to contact you by email in relation to your purchase and to deliver the educational content related to that purchase.
