2.1.2 where you and we agree orally that you will attend a Session, there will be a legally binding contract on the date of our oral agreement.

2.3 You should keep a copy of these terms and conditions for your records.
3. Providing the Services
3.1 Once we and you have entered into a legally binding contract, you will be entitled to attend the Session that you have booked.
3.2 Our aim is to always provide you with the Services:
3.2.1 using reasonable care and skill;
3.2.2 in compliance with commonly accepted practices and standards in our industry; and

4. The Premises
4.1 We will provide the Services at the location relevant to the Session you have booked. This information is available via our online booking system on our website, or can be provided on request.
4.2 You should ensure that you are aware of the location of the Session that you are attending prior to completing the booking. We will not be held responsible for any errors made by you during the booking process.
5. Timing
5.1 What happens if we cannot perform the Services?

5.2.2 The provisions of Part 3 of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (concerning your right to cancel) do not apply to the contract between us, on the basis that the contract falls within the exemption set out in section 28(1)(h) of those Regulations (services related to leisure activities where the contract provides for a specific date of performance).
