6.2 We may from time to time change Our prices. Changes in price will not affect any Course that You have already purchased but will apply to any subsequent or new Course. We will inform You of any change in price at least 30 days before the change is due to take effect. If You do not agree to such a change, You may cancel the Contract as described in sub-Clause 13.1.

6.3 Minor changes may, from time to time, be made to certain Paid Content, for example, to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, or to address technical or security issues.

6.5 Where any updates are made to Paid Content, that Paid Content will continue to match Our description of it as provided to You before You purchased Your Course for access to the Paid Content.

11 Scope of Our Services

Services offered: We offer tuition in coffee related courses, such as.

Period of sessions: Where a session is a live two way interactive session, We will provide individual tuition for You for a period of 60 minutes (or any other period that We agree with You when You purchase a Course).

[Trial session: Where You have not previously received any live two way interactive tuition from Us for the relevant subject, We may agree to provide a single live two way interactive session as a trial for a period of up to 5 minutes so that You can decide whether to continue with further sessions with Us in that subject.]

Your Progress: Whilst We will use Our reasonable endeavours to ensure that You make satisfactory progress, results will be different for each individual depending on various factors, including, without limitation, number and frequency of sessions, whether they are interactive rather than one way recorded sessions, any preparation or other tasks or work done or activity engaged in by You set or suggested by the Tutor, and Your aptitude.

Satisfactory progress cannot be guaranteed, and We make no warranty or representation that any particular progress or result will be brought about (including, where relevant, passing any  examination) as a result of You taking part in or viewing any session(s).

Attendance: If You are not available for a session for any reason it is solely Your responsibility to ensure that You make up for that missed session by purchasing an additional session if necessary.

Punctuality: We expect You to be ready for a session at least 5 minutes before the scheduled start time of the session to ensure that You are ready to start on time.

Course or other equipment, items materials etc.: We may make suggestions as to any equipment, textbooks, videos or other materials or items that You should read, view, purchase or otherwise acquire where We think it is necessary or helpful for You to have a copy to use during or outside sessions but We cannot provide such materials or items for You.

Practise/Homework/Tasks/Assignments: We [may][will usually] give You at the end of a session a [practise][homework] assignment or tasks to carry out, and You should complete it/them prior to Your next session. [It is best if You have a quiet place to [practice][study][carry out tasks][work on any assignment] without interruption.]

Our commitment, amount of tuition needed: We agree to teach You at the agreed times and days. It is not possible to determine at the outset how much tuition You will require. [Where We decide that We are able to do so, We may recommend to You, as and when appropriate, when We consider that You are ready for any relevant examination.] [We may recommend additional opportunities to help with Your [study][training] such as relevant workshops run by third parties where We are aware of such opportunities.]

12. Your Commitment

Preparation for each session: You should attend each session prepared by completing any assignment, work, tasks set for You at the previous session. Adequate preparation for sessions is more likely to result in satisfactory progress. [If you require guidance with an assignment or tasks between sessions, We are [usually] contactable by email/phone and [may be] able to provide some help remotely.]

[Records: You should provide and maintain a tuition  diary [and this [should] [can] be in the form of a notebook] in which You can make notes, setting out any information useful or necessary to You when studying, practising or carrying out any task or assignment or to prepare for an examination.]
