Terms and Conditions

  1. Applications

    To apply for a place on the Course (as defined below) either complete the relevant application form (“Application Form”) or apply online. Your application is an offer to Lloyd’s Maritime Academy (a trading division of Informa Connect Limited) (“LMA”) to study on the course as set out in the Application Form (“the Course”) which is subject to LMA’s acceptance. A binding contract between LMA and you will only be formed when written confirmation of acceptance (which may be sent by email) is sent by LMA to you.
  2. Partner Institution Applications and Application Fees

    Where the Course is provided by LMA in partnership with a third party educational institution (a “Partner Institution”) there may be a fee for processing your application along with additional requirements for acceptance on to the Course, as set out in the registration process. Where a Course has an application fee included as part of the Course fee participants will need to pay this when they make their application. Applications will not be processed if the application fee has not been received. Anyone who is rejected by a Partner Institution on academic grounds will have their application fee refunded in full. Where students have incomplete applications, withdraw their application or fail to respond to requests for further information or do not take up their place after being awarded a place or offered a place, the application fee will be treated as a cancellation fee and will not be refunded.
  3. Payment

    You must pay to LMA the fees set out in the Application Form. Payment of any invoice must be received by LMA, in full and in cleared funds, by the due date set out on the invoice or seven days before the start date of the Course, whichever is sooner. Please note that non-payment of fees will result in the withholding of any Course materials due to be provided as part of the Course (“the Course Materials”) and LMA may charge you interest on any overdue fees at the rate of 2% per annum above National Westminster Bank Plc’s base lending rate from time to time. You may pay by (i) Visa, MasterCard, Diners Club or American Express; or (ii) bank transfer. On booking, your credit card details will be required. No charge will be taken at this point, but if you fail to pay any invoice in full and on time, we will charge the card for any outstanding sums.
  4. Taxes

    It is the intent of the parties that LMA will receive payment of your fees net of all applicable taxes, including without limitation, sales, VAT, service or withholding taxes (“Taxes”), all of which shall be paid solely by you. If and to the extent that any Taxes are levied upon, or found to be applicable to, the whole or any portion of the payment of your fees, the amount of such payment shall be increased by an amount necessary to compensate for the Taxes (including any amount necessary to “gross up” for Taxes levied on the increase itself).
  5. Participant Cancellation Policy

    You may cancel your place on the Course by giving notice in writing to the Course Administrator up to (and including) 7 days from the date LMA confirms your acceptance to the Course in accordance with Condition 1 and you will not be liable for the payment of any fees and any fees already paid to LMA for the Course will be refunded. If LMA receives your notice of cancellation 8 days or more from the date LMA has confirmed your acceptance to the Course you will still receive a refund of your fees already paid to LMA, subject to payment by you to LMA of: (i) if applicable, a cancellation fee equal to the application fee in accordance with Clause 2; or (ii) where (i) is not applicable, a cancellation fee of £200 to cover administrative costs (which shall be payable immediately upon your cancellation), in each case, provided such notice of cancellation is received by LMA before the first day of the Course. For the avoidance of doubt, the "first day of the Course" shall mean Day 1 of the first iteration or scheduled delivery of the Course or Day 1 of when the on-demand access to the Course starts. LMA regrets that no refunds can be given for any cancellation notice it receives on or after the first day of the Course and, in such circumstances, the full fees remain payable by you to LMA.

LMA may offer you the option of participating in any re-arranged comparable Course that LMA chooses (in its sole discretion) to organise.
