Cancelation Policy

In order to continue to provide education and training to as many individuals as possible, the Multi-disciplinary Approach to Paediatric End of Life care Education (MAPLE) team reserves the right to operate a strict cancellation policy.

All courses will be subject to the following cancellation policy:

Within 48 hours immediately after booking - No fee owed

From 48 hours after booking up to 14 days before the booking start date - 20% of the booking fee will be owed

Within 14 days prior to the course start date - 100% of the booking fee will be owed

Cancellations must be received in writing to the MAPLE team at: peolc@uhbw.nhs.uk

Cancellation fees are as above.

Cooling Off Period: from time of booking, delegates/course bookers have 48 hours in which they can cancel their place without any cancellation fees. In the event of a cancellation within this cooling off period, either a full refund will be given (if payment has been made) or a credit note will be raised to cancel any issued invoices.
After 48 hours: upon cancellation, if payment has yet to be made, either a new invoice will be issued for the 20% fee (if the cancellation is received at least 14 days before the course start date) or the original invoice for the full course fee will still be owed (if the cancellation is received within 14 days prior to the course start date). The MAPLE administration team will confirm the cancellation fee upon receiving the cancellation email.
If payment has already been made for a course, a refund, less the 20% cancellation fee, will be paid if a cancellation is received, in writing, at least 14 days before a course start date. We regret that cancellations made within 14 days prior to the course start date cannot be refunded, even in the event of being unable to attend.
Failure to attend a course/your booking will incur the full course fee.
The MAPLE team classes a booking as being made once a confirmation email has been sent to the attendee.
All delegates must ensure that they have booked and received the necessary approval for study/annual leave prior to booking on a course. In the event that this approval has not been sought prior to booking, delegates will still remain subject to this Cancellation Policy.
In the unlikely event that MAPLE team has to cancel or postpone a course, either the course fees will be refunded or a place on the next course will be offered to the attendee. Please note that MAPLE team is not liable for any costs incurred by delegates in the event of a course being cancelled or postponed.
Attendees book course places to attend MAPLE courses at their own risk. The MAPLE team is not liable for any costs incurred by delegates should they be unable to travel for any reason, including lockdown restrictions, travel restrictions, travel quarantine periods, isolation periods due to showing any infectious disease symptoms or any other reasons why travel is not possible.
