Terms for The Sourdough School Ltd and The Sourdough Club Ltd

Running Sourdough courses and the Sourdough School website is a business and despite me feeling very much that I am meeting with the loveliest people from all over the world, experience as taught me that we still have to have terms of business, which we adhere to.

The terms and conditions below are about fairness and integrity, and respect.  We are a small business and when you book a course we commit to the costs of running a workshop, which actually begin 2 months before you attend.

We prepare the research and plan the schedule, prepare food, (especially some of our fermented foods,) book guests, and staff in advance, and we supply you with a membership to the sourdough club, and your place is secured. We also ask that you use the sourdough club tutorials to ensure that you have a minimum level of knowledge before attending. So a significant amount of administration, and direct costs are incurred for each booking a long time before you arrive at the school.

We also teach in very small groups, and a great deal of care is put into making each workshop successful.

RESPECT & PRIVACY

Students are able to discuss personal details during the course without worrying about their details or participation being shared. Our terms of business therefore reflect this.

Therefore we ask that you please read these terms carefully before booking.

We regret that courses are not open to people who teach bread making. (The only exception to this is for Sourdough Sisters.  Please see information below.) 

Please note that by applying to the course you sign in your application, to say that you have read and accepted these terms and conditions.

By entering into a competition you are agreeing with the terms and conditions outlined below.

3.2 Fees: To the extent the Service or any portion thereof is made available for any fee, you will be required to select a payment plan and provide the Sourdough Club information regarding your credit card or other payment instrument. You represent and warrant to the Sourdough Club that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You will promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree to pay the Sourdough Club the amount that is specified in the payment plan in accordance with the terms of such plan and this Terms of Service. You hereby authorize the Sourdough Club to bill your payment instrument in accordance with the terms of the applicable payment plan until you terminate your account, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred. If you dispute any charges you must let the Sourdough Club know within sixty (60) days after the date that the Sourdough Club charges you. We reserve the right to change the Sourdough Club’ prices. Your continued use of the Service after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. You shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the Services other than UK taxes based on the Sourdough Club’ net income.

3.3 Recurring Subscriptions: If you select a Service with an auto renewal feature (“Recurring Subscription”), you authorize the Sourdough Club to maintain your account information and charge that account automatically upon the renewal of the Service you choose with no further action required by you. In the event that the Sourdough Club is unable to charge your account as authorized by you when you enrolled in a Recurring Subscription, the Sourdough Club, may, in its sole discretion: (i) bill you for your Service and suspend your access to the Service until payment is received, and/or (ii) seek to update your account information through third party sources (i.e., your bank or a payment processor) to continue charging your account as authorized by you.

The Sourdough Club may change the price for Recurring Subscriptions from time to time and will communicate any price changes to you in advance and, if applicable, how to accept those changes. Price changes for Recurring Subscriptions will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. As permitted by local law, you accept the new price by continuing to use your Recurring Subscription after the price change takes effect.

Please therefore make sure you read any such notification of price changes carefully.

Payments are non-refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods. You may cancel a Recurring Subscription at any time, but if you cancel your subscription before the end of the current subscription period, we will not refund any subscription fees already paid to us. Following any cancellation, however, you will continue to have access to the service through the end of your current subscription period. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our users (“credits”). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide credits in the future, under any circumstance.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE ABOVE DISPUTE PROCEDURES SHALL BE YOUR SOLE REMEDY IN THE EVENT OF DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND THE SOURDOUGH CLUB REGARDING ANY ASPECT OF THE SERVICE (INCLUDING THE ENROLMENT PROCESS) AND THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO LEAD OR PARTICIPATE IN A LAWSUIT INVOLVING OTHER PERSONS, SUCH AS A CLASS ACTION.
