We must receive payment of the whole of the price for the goods that you order before your order can be accepted. Once payment has been received by us we will confirm that your order has been accepted by sending an email to you at the email address you provide in your order form. Our acceptance of your order brings into existence a legally binding contract between us.

Copyright exists on all materials supplied in any form. Copying, transfer or storage by whatever means may only be performed with the express written permission of PMIQ.
3 Accuracy of content
We have taken care in the preparation of the content of this website, in particular to ensure that prices quoted are correct at the time of publishing and that all goods have been fairly described. However, orders will only be accepted if there are no material errors in the description of the goods or their prices as advertised on this website. Any weights, dimensions and capacities given about the goods are approximate only.
4 Damage to your computer
We try to ensure that this website is free from viruses or defects. However, we cannot guarantee that your use of this website or any websites accessible through it will not cause damage to your computer. It is your responsibility to ensure that the right equipment is available to use the website. Except in the case of negligence on our part, we will not be liable to any person for any loss or damage which may arise to computer equipment as a result of using this website.
5 Availability
All orders are subject to acceptance and availability. If the Goods you have ordered are not available from stock, we will contact you by e-mail or phone (if you have given us details). You will have the option either to wait until the item is available from stock or to cancel your order. If the owner/ accrediting body for any of the courses that we offer either terminates, retires or upgrades the course material and associated examination requirements, we reserve the right to reduce your course duration and impose a completion date earlier than previously agreed. If we need to take this action, we will write to you via email to inform you of your new course expiry date in line with the changes being imposed, giving you notice of at least one month of the change to allow you sufficient time to complete the course and exams. In such circumstances, PMIQ will not be held liable for any refund payment to clients.
6 Ordering errors
You are able to correct errors on your order up to the point on which you click on “submit” during the ordering process.
7 Price
The prices payable for goods that you order are as set out in our website. All prices are exclusive of VAT and are correct at the time of entering information. Wherever it is not possible to accept your order to buy goods of the specification and description at the price indicated, we will advise you by email, offer to sell you the goods of the specification and description at the price stated in the email and will state the period for which the offer or the price remains valid.
8 Payment terms
We will charge your credit account for payment upon receipt of your order unless delivery cannot be fulfilled within 30 days. We accept no liability if a delivery is delayed because you did not give us the correct payment details. If it is not possible to obtain full payment for the goods from your account then we can cancel the contract and or suspend any further deliveries to you. This does not affect any other rights we may have. For late payments, the Customer will be liable to payment of interest accruing daily at the rate being 4 percent above the Bank of England base rate from the date when payment first became due until the date of actual payment both before and after any judgement. All interest is payable to us on demand. If a Customer continues to withhold payment, further action will be taken which may include legal action to recover the monies.
9 Delivery
9.1 Our delivery charges are included in the prices shown in our website.
9.2 We will deliver the goods to the address you specify for delivery in your order. It is important that this address is accurate. Please be precise about where you would like the goods left if you are out when we deliver. Shipment will be by standard Royal Mail (not tracked) unless otherwise specified and agreed with the client. We cannot accept any liability for any loss or damage to the goods once they have been delivered in accordance with your delivery instructions (unless this is caused by our negligence). We will aim to deliver the goods by the date quoted for delivery but delivery times are not guaranteed. Clients can purchase a tracked international shipment at additional cost if they so desire. If delivery is delayed due to any cause beyond our reasonable control, the delivery date will be extended by a reasonable period and we will contact you to arrange an alternative time.
