5.6 In the event that an administrative or system error results in the incorrect display of the fee (whether under- or over-charged), we reserve the right to correct the error and, where appropriate, cancel the booking and issue a full refund, or request further payment to reflect the correct fee. We will notify you in writing in either case and provide you with a reasonable opportunity to confirm or cancel your booking accordingly.
6. Refund and Rescheduling Policy
6.1 The Event is priced at £82.50 plus VAT. You may be eligible for a refund strictly subject to the conditions set out in this clause. No refunds will be issued outside of these terms under any circumstances, and all refund decisions are final.
6.2 Refunds will only be considered where:
(a) the Client has attended the entirety of Day 1 of the Event;
(b) the Client submits a written refund request to ops@stevedoran.co.uk strictly between the hours of 09:00 and 17:30 (UK time) on Day 1 of the Event; and
(c) the Client does not attend or access any part of Day 2 of the Event.
6.3 For the avoidance of doubt, attendance at or access to any portion of Day 2 (including joining the live session, viewing any shared content, or accessing event links or chat) will be treated as acceptance of the full Event and shall disqualify the Client from receiving a refund.
6.4 Refunds will be processed within 14 days of a valid request, using the original payment method, and subject to internal verification that all conditions have been met.
6.5 Clients are advised to ensure receipt of their refund request is acknowledged via email within the stated refund window. It is your responsibility to ensure that the request is correctly submitted on time and to the correct email address. No consideration will be given to refund requests sent outside the stated time period or to any other email address.
6.6 Where a Client is unable to attend the Event for any reason, and notifies us at least 24 hours prior to the Event’s scheduled start time, we may, at our sole discretion, offer to reschedule the Client onto a future Event date of the same type. Rescheduling is subject to availability and the Client’s request being made in advance. No reschedule will be offered after the Event has started or where no prior notice is given.
6.7 This refund policy constitutes an express variation of the default consumer right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, pursuant to Regulation 28(1)(h), which disapplies the 14-day cooling-off period where services have begun with the consumer’s consent and they acknowledged the right to cancel would be lost upon commencement.
6.8 Except as expressly stated in this clause, all Event fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
6.9 No other grounds for cancellation, rescheduling, or refund (including non-attendance due to illness, travel issues, technical difficulties, or personal circumstances) will be considered valid unless required by law.
7. Cancellation and Rescheduling by You
7.1 You are not entitled to cancel your booking for the Event and receive a refund, except in the limited circumstances expressly set out in Section 6 of these Terms.
7.2 If you are unable to attend the Event, you may submit a request to reschedule your attendance to a future Event of the same type. Rescheduling is not guaranteed and is entirely at our discretion. We will consider such requests where:
(a) you notify us in writing by email to ops@stevedoran.co.uk a minimum of 24 hours before the scheduled start time of the Event you are due to attend; and
(b) you provide your full name, contact details, and your reason for non-attendance.
7.3 If your request is accepted, we will offer you the opportunity to transfer your booking to a future Event of the same type, subject to availability and provided that the alternative Event takes place within twelve (12) months of the purchase date. We do not guarantee that future Events will be available or that a similar Event will be scheduled within this timeframe.
7.4 You may only request to reschedule a booking once. Any further requests will be declined, and your booking will be deemed forfeited with no entitlement to refund or further deferral.
7.5 Requests to reschedule received after the Event has started, or made without prior notice, will not be considered. Accessing or attending any portion of the Event will be deemed full acceptance of the service and will invalidate your eligibility for rescheduling. Rescheduling is a discretionary policy and not a statutory entitlement.
7.6 Any approved rescheduled place is strictly non-transferable to another person unless otherwise agreed by us in writing in advance.
8. Cancellation or Rescheduling by Us
8.1 We reserve the right to cancel, reschedule, or make reasonable changes to the Event at any time, including the format, speakers, agenda, content, or delivery platform, where such changes are necessary for operational, legal, or practical reasons. Any such changes will not entitle you to a refund unless otherwise stated in this clause.
8.2 In the unlikely event that we cancel the Event entirely for reasons within our reasonable control, we will offer you the choice of:
(a) a full refund of the fee paid; or
(b) a transfer of your booking to an equivalent Event at a future date, subject to availability.
8.3 If we are required to cancel or delay the Event due to circumstances outside our control, including but not limited to force majeure events (see Section 18), government restrictions, technical failures, or illness of key personnel, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you as soon as practicable. In such cases, you will be entitled to transfer your booking to the next available equivalent Event. No refunds shall be issued under these circumstances.
8.4 We shall not be liable to you for any other costs, losses, or expenses (including travel, accommodation, or business interruption) incurred by you in connection with the cancellation, postponement, or amendment of the Event. We strongly recommend you avoid incurring non-refundable arrangements related to the Event.
8.5 We reserve the right to remove any participant from the Event, without refund, where we reasonably believe that individual is behaving in a disruptive, abusive, or otherwise unacceptable manner, or is in breach of these Terms. This includes unauthorised recording or distribution of Event content, or any conduct that may harm the Event experience for others.

Introduction and Scope
2.1 These Terms govern the agreement between the Client and S Doran Ltd for enrolment in and participation in The Academy (“The Academy”).
2.2 The Academy is a structured property investment training programme, delivered by S Doran Ltd, that may include a combination of the following: live online group training or in-person workshops; one-to-one or group mentoring; access to digital or physical course materials; private community engagement or discussion groups; support, templates, and resources for practical implementation.
2.3 By placing a Booking, the Client confirms and agrees that: (a) They have read and understood these Terms in full; (b) They are either entering the Agreement as an individual (aged 18 or over) or are duly authorised to bind the company on whose behalf they are acting; (c) They accept and agree to be legally bound by these Terms and any supplementary policies referenced herein; (d) They are not relying on any representations or promises not expressly set out in writing by S Doran Ltd.
2.4 These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the Client and S Doran Ltd in relation to The Academy and supersede all prior discussions, communications, or marketing materials, whether oral or written.
2.5 The Academy does not constitute an offer of employment, partnership, agency, or franchising. No legal relationship other than that of independent contractor and client is created by this Agreement.
2.6 These Terms should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and any refund or rescheduling terms expressly notified at the time of Booking. Where conflicts arise, these Terms take precedence unless expressly stated otherwise in writing.
2.7 We reserve the right to amend these Terms where necessary to reflect changes in law, regulation, or operational practice. Where material changes are made, we will notify affected Clients in writing.
-
Eligibility and Enrolment
3.1 Eligibility Criteria
To enrol in The Academy, the Client must:
(a) Be at least 18 years of age at the time of Booking; and
(b) Either:
(i) act in their personal capacity; or
(ii) act on behalf of a registered company or legal entity, in which case the individual completing the Booking confirms that they have the full authority to bind that company to these Terms.
By completing a Booking, the Client warrants that these eligibility conditions are satisfied.
3.2 Verification of Identity or Authority
We may request documentation to verify:
(a) your identity (such as a passport, driving licence, or other valid photo ID); and/or
(b) your authority to act on behalf of a company, where applicable.
This is to ensure compliance with applicable legal or regulatory requirements and to protect the integrity of The Academy. Failure to provide such documentation on request may result in cancellation of access, without refund, where deemed necessary and proportionate.
3.3 Formation of Contract
A legally binding contract is formed when the Client makes payment of the applicable Fee in cleared funds - whether through our website, via a payment link, over the phone, or in person at an event, or otherwise. By submitting payment, the Client confirms acceptance of these Terms in full and enters into a binding Agreement with S Doran Ltd.
Each Booking grants access to one named individual only. Access may not be shared, transferred, or sublicensed without our prior written consent, except where a couples membership has been expressly offered and purchased, in which case access shall be granted to both named individuals under that membership.
For the avoidance of doubt, no Client shall be entitled to claim unenrolment or non-participation once payment has been submitted and access to any part of The Academy or its materials has been made available.
3.4 Non-Transferability of Access
The Academy is designed for individual participation only. Enrolment does not permit group learning, shared credentials, or the attendance of multiple team members under a single Booking, whether from a company or otherwise.
If a company wishes to enrol multiple employees, each individual must register separately and pay the full applicable Fee. Requests for discounted group rates may be considered at our sole discretion but must be arranged through a separate written agreement.
An exception applies where a couples membership has been expressly offered and purchased by S Doran Ltd, in which case access may be granted to both named individuals under that specific membership arrangement.
3.5 Right to Refuse or Cancel Enrolment
We reserve the right to refuse, suspend, or cancel any Booking or participation in The Academy:
(a) where we have reasonable concerns over unauthorised access, misuse of content, or breach of these Terms;
(b) where eligibility or authority cannot be verified to our satisfaction; or
(c) for any other legitimate reason, at our sole discretion.
Where a Booking is refused or cancelled prior to any access being granted, a full refund will be issued.
No refund will be provided if cancellation occurs after access has been granted or where the cancellation arises due to a breach of these Terms, misrepresentation, or unauthorised use
3.6. Couples Participation Offer
As a limited promotional offer, S Doran Ltd may, at its sole discretion, permit two individuals (a “Couple”) to enrol jointly in The Academy for the price of a single Booking (“Couples Offer”), provided that all of the following conditions are met:
(a) Both individuals must be working together towards the same property investment project and shared commercial goals;
(b) Each participant must be expressly identified at the point of Booking and approved in writing by S Doran Ltd;
(c) Each participant will receive individual login credentials and must independently complete all modules, exercises, and assignments to be eligible for any money-back guarantee, where such a guarantee has been expressly offered at the point of sale;
(d) All one-to-one mentoring sessions will be delivered jointly and must be attended together. No separate sessions will be provided;
(e) This offer is strictly non-transferable and may not be substituted, reassigned, or extended to any third party without the prior written consent of S Doran Ltd.
3.6.1. The Couples Offer does not alter any other terms of this Agreement. All obligations, conduct requirements, confidentiality provisions, and intellectual property restrictions shall apply to each participant individually.
3.6.2. Where one participant breaches these Terms, S Doran Ltd reserves the right to suspend or terminate access for both participants without refund.

Booking and Payment
4.1 Booking Process
A Booking will only be accepted once full payment of the Fee has been received by S Doran Ltd in cleared funds and the Client has provided sufficient registration details to enable access to The Academy. No Agreement shall exist, and no access shall be granted, until both conditions are satisfied.
4.2 Payment Terms
(a) The Fee must be paid in full at the time of Booking. No split or instalment payments are permitted unless expressly agreed in writing in advance.
(b) All payments must be made in pounds sterling (£) using one of the accepted methods available during the checkout process.

4.4 Booking Errors
If a clear and obvious error in the advertised Fee or description is identified during the Booking process, we reserve the right to:
(a) cancel the Booking and issue a full refund; or
(b) contact the Client with revised terms, giving the Client the opportunity to accept or decline.
4.5 No Deductions or Offsets
All payments must be made in full without set-off, counterclaim or deduction, unless required by law. The Client may not withhold or reduce payment based on dissatisfaction, disputes, or claims of any kind, nor offset any amount allegedly owed to them by S Doran Ltd against sums due under this Agreement.
4.6 Confirmation and Receipt

Refund and Cancellation Policy
5.1 No General Right to Cancel
Once a Booking has been confirmed and payment received, the client shall have no general right to cancel or request a refund, except where expressly stated in this Section or where required by applicable law.
5.2 Waiver of 14-Day Cooling-Off Period (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013)
If the Client is a consumer (i.e. not booking in the course of business) and completes their Booking online, by phone, or at a distance, they may ordinarily have a legal right to cancel within 14 days of the date of Booking. However, by submitting payment and accepting these Terms, the Client expressly requests immediate access to The Academy and acknowledges that doing so constitutes the commencement of services. The Client further agrees that this waives their right to cancel under regulation 28(1)(h) of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.
The Client further agrees that this waiver applies as soon as access credentials are issued or enrolment into the training platform has occurred, and not contingent upon the Client’s actual login or use of the materials.
This waiver applies whether or not the Client actually accesses any materials, joins any sessions, or downloads any content.
5.3 No Refund Based on Inactivity
Once the Client has been granted access to any Academy platform, portal, or training environment—whether or not they have logged in, attended a session, or consumed any material—they shall be deemed to have commenced services. Accordingly, no refund or cancellation right shall apply under any circumstances, unless otherwise required by law or expressly stated in writing by S Doran Ltd.
5.4 Refund Eligibility
Except where required by law or as set out in clause 5.2, no refunds shall be issued under any circumstances, including but not limited to:
non-attendance or partial attendance by the client;
dissatisfaction with the content, delivery, or perceived value of The Academy;
changes in personal circumstances, illness, travel issues, or technical difficulties.
All sales are final, and clients accept full responsibility for ensuring their availability and commitment before completing a Booking.
5.5 Cancellation by S Doran Ltd
S Doran Ltd reserves the right to cancel The Academy or restrict access to any client, without refund, where:
(a) there has been a breach of these Terms by the client;
(b) the Booking was made using false information, misrepresentation, or without valid authority;
(c) circumstances beyond S Doran Ltd’s control (including but not limited to force majeure events) render delivery of The Academy impracticable, unsafe, or commercially unviable.
5.6 Non-Transferability
All Bookings are strictly non-transferable. The right to access or attend The Academy is personal to the named client and may not be assigned, shared, or transferred to another person or entity without the prior written consent of S Doran Ltd.
5.7 Partial Payments and Deposits
Where a partial payment, deposit, or initial instalment is made to secure a place in The Academy or related programmes, such payment shall be deemed a confirmation of Booking and acceptance of these Terms in full.
Unless otherwise stated in writing, all such payments are strictly non-refundable, regardless of the Client’s decision to defer, withdraw, or not proceed with the remaining balance.
For the avoidance of doubt:
This applies even where no further payments are made;
The Client remains liable for any outstanding balance if access has been granted or a payment schedule agreed;
S Doran Ltd may, at its sole discretion, permit the transfer of paid value to other products or services, but is under no obligation to do so.
Any exceptions must be agreed in writing and shall not constitute a waiver of this clause for future Bookings.

S Doran Ltd reserves the right to verify all claims and documentation, and to deny any claim where there is insufficient, late, or unreliable evidence. The burden of proof lies with the client.

Introduction and Scope
2.1 These Terms govern the agreement between the Client and S Doran Ltd for enrolment in and participation in The Academy (“The Academy”).
2.2 The Academy is a structured property investment training programme, delivered by S Doran Ltd, that may include a combination of the following: live online group training or in-person workshops; one-to-one or group mentoring; access to digital or physical course materials; private community engagement or discussion groups; support, templates, and resources for practical implementation.
2.3 By placing a Booking, the Client confirms and agrees that: (a) They have read and understood these Terms in full; (b) They are either entering the Agreement as an individual (aged 18 or over) or are duly authorised to bind the company on whose behalf they are acting; (c) They accept and agree to be legally bound by these Terms and any supplementary policies referenced herein; (d) They are not relying on any representations or promises not expressly set out in writing by S Doran Ltd.
2.4 These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the Client and S Doran Ltd in relation to The Academy and supersede all prior discussions, communications, or marketing materials, whether oral or written.
2.5 The Academy does not constitute an offer of employment, partnership, agency, or franchising. No legal relationship other than that of independent contractor and client is created by this Agreement.
2.6 These Terms should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and any refund or rescheduling terms expressly notified at the time of Booking. Where conflicts arise, these Terms take precedence unless expressly stated otherwise in writing.
2.7 We reserve the right to amend these Terms where necessary to reflect changes in law, regulation, or operational practice. Where material changes are made, we will notify affected Clients in writing.
-
Eligibility and Enrolment
3.1 Eligibility Criteria
To enrol in The Academy, the Client must:
(a) Be at least 18 years of age at the time of Booking; and
(b) Either:
(i) act in their personal capacity; or
(ii) act on behalf of a registered company or legal entity, in which case the individual completing the Booking confirms that they have the full authority to bind that company to these Terms.
By completing a Booking, the Client warrants that these eligibility conditions are satisfied.
3.2 Verification of Identity or Authority
We may request documentation to verify:
(a) your identity (such as a passport, driving licence, or other valid photo ID); and/or
(b) your authority to act on behalf of a company, where applicable.
This is to ensure compliance with applicable legal or regulatory requirements and to protect the integrity of The Academy. Failure to provide such documentation on request may result in cancellation of access, without refund, where deemed necessary and proportionate.
3.3 Formation of Contract
A legally binding contract is formed when the Client makes payment of the applicable Fee in cleared funds - whether through our website, via a payment link, over the phone, or in person at an event, or otherwise. By submitting payment, the Client confirms acceptance of these Terms in full and enters into a binding Agreement with S Doran Ltd.
Each Booking grants access to one named individual only. Access may not be shared, transferred, or sublicensed without our prior written consent, except where a couples membership has been expressly offered and purchased, in which case access shall be granted to both named individuals under that membership.
For the avoidance of doubt, no Client shall be entitled to claim unenrolment or non-participation once payment has been submitted and access to any part of The Academy or its materials has been made available.
3.4 Non-Transferability of Access
The Academy is designed for individual participation only. Enrolment does not permit group learning, shared credentials, or the attendance of multiple team members under a single Booking, whether from a company or otherwise.
If a company wishes to enrol multiple employees, each individual must register separately and pay the full applicable Fee. Requests for discounted group rates may be considered at our sole discretion but must be arranged through a separate written agreement.
An exception applies where a couples membership has been expressly offered and purchased by S Doran Ltd, in which case access may be granted to both named individuals under that specific membership arrangement.
3.5 Right to Refuse or Cancel Enrolment
We reserve the right to refuse, suspend, or cancel any Booking or participation in The Academy:
(a) where we have reasonable concerns over unauthorised access, misuse of content, or breach of these Terms;
(b) where eligibility or authority cannot be verified to our satisfaction; or
(c) for any other legitimate reason, at our sole discretion.
Where a Booking is refused or cancelled prior to any access being granted, a full refund will be issued.
No refund will be provided if cancellation occurs after access has been granted or where the cancellation arises due to a breach of these Terms, misrepresentation, or unauthorised use
3.6. Couples Participation Offer
As a limited promotional offer, S Doran Ltd may, at its sole discretion, permit two individuals (a “Couple”) to enrol jointly in The Academy for the price of a single Booking (“Couples Offer”), provided that all of the following conditions are met:
(a) Both individuals must be working together towards the same property investment project and shared commercial goals;
(b) Each participant must be expressly identified at the point of Booking and approved in writing by S Doran Ltd;
(c) Each participant will receive individual login credentials and must independently complete all modules, exercises, and assignments to be eligible for any money-back guarantee, where such a guarantee has been expressly offered at the point of sale;
(d) All one-to-one mentoring sessions will be delivered jointly and must be attended together. No separate sessions will be provided;
(e) This offer is strictly non-transferable and may not be substituted, reassigned, or extended to any third party without the prior written consent of S Doran Ltd.
3.6.1. The Couples Offer does not alter any other terms of this Agreement. All obligations, conduct requirements, confidentiality provisions, and intellectual property restrictions shall apply to each participant individually.
3.6.2. Where one participant breaches these Terms, S Doran Ltd reserves the right to suspend or terminate access for both participants without refund.

Booking and Payment
4.1 Booking Process
A Booking will only be accepted once full payment of the Fee has been received by S Doran Ltd in cleared funds and the Client has provided sufficient registration details to enable access to The Academy. No Agreement shall exist, and no access shall be granted, until both conditions are satisfied.
4.2 Payment Terms
(a) The Fee must be paid in full at the time of Booking. No split or instalment payments are permitted unless expressly agreed in writing in advance.
(b) All payments must be made in pounds sterling (£) using one of the accepted methods available during the checkout process.
(c) S Doran Ltd does not accept cash or cheque payments unless expressly agreed in writing in advance.

(b) A VAT invoice will be issued upon request.
(c) S Doran Ltd is a VAT-registered company in the United Kingdom and charges VAT in accordance with the Value Added Tax Act 1994 and HMRC regulations.
4.4 Booking Errors
If a clear and obvious error in the advertised Fee or description is identified during the Booking process, we reserve the right to:
(a) cancel the Booking and issue a full refund; or
(b) contact the Client with revised terms, giving the Client the opportunity to accept or decline.
4.5 No Deductions or Offsets
All payments must be made in full without set-off, counterclaim or deduction, unless required by law. The Client may not withhold or reduce payment based on dissatisfaction, disputes, or claims of any kind, nor offset any amount allegedly owed to them by S Doran Ltd against sums due under this Agreement.
4.6 Confirmation and Receipt

(a) a confirmation email confirming their enrolment in The Academy; and

Refund and Cancellation Policy
5.1 No General Right to Cancel
Once a Booking has been confirmed and payment received, the client shall have no general right to cancel or request a refund, except where expressly stated in this Section or where required by applicable law.
5.2 Waiver of 14-Day Cooling-Off Period (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013)
If the Client is a consumer (i.e. not booking in the course of business) and completes their Booking online, by phone, or at a distance, they may ordinarily have a legal right to cancel within 14 days of the date of Booking. However, by submitting payment and accepting these Terms, the Client expressly requests immediate access to The Academy and acknowledges that doing so constitutes the commencement of services. The Client further agrees that this waives their right to cancel under regulation 28(1)(h) of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.
The Client further agrees that this waiver applies as soon as access credentials are issued or enrolment into the training platform has occurred, and not contingent upon the Client’s actual login or use of the materials.
This waiver applies whether or not the Client actually accesses any materials, joins any sessions, or downloads any content.
5.3 No Refund Based on Inactivity
Once the Client has been granted access to any Academy platform, portal, or training environment—whether or not they have logged in, attended a session, or consumed any material—they shall be deemed to have commenced services. Accordingly, no refund or cancellation right shall apply under any circumstances, unless otherwise required by law or expressly stated in writing by S Doran Ltd.
5.4 Refund Eligibility
Except where required by law or as set out in clause 5.2, no refunds shall be issued under any circumstances, including but not limited to:
non-attendance or partial attendance by the client;
dissatisfaction with the content, delivery, or perceived value of The Academy;
changes in personal circumstances, illness, travel issues, or technical difficulties.
All sales are final, and clients accept full responsibility for ensuring their availability and commitment before completing a Booking.
5.5 Cancellation by S Doran Ltd
S Doran Ltd reserves the right to cancel The Academy or restrict access to any client, without refund, where:
(a) there has been a breach of these Terms by the client;
(b) the Booking was made using false information, misrepresentation, or without valid authority;
(c) circumstances beyond S Doran Ltd’s control (including but not limited to force majeure events) render delivery of The Academy impracticable, unsafe, or commercially unviable.
5.6 Non-Transferability
All Bookings are strictly non-transferable. The right to access or attend The Academy is personal to the named client and may not be assigned, shared, or transferred to another person or entity without the prior written consent of S Doran Ltd.
5.7 Partial Payments and Deposits
Where a partial payment, deposit, or initial instalment is made to secure a place in The Academy or related programmes, such payment shall be deemed a confirmation of Booking and acceptance of these Terms in full.
Unless otherwise stated in writing, all such payments are strictly non-refundable, regardless of the Client’s decision to defer, withdraw, or not proceed with the remaining balance.
For the avoidance of doubt:
This applies even where no further payments are made;
The Client remains liable for any outstanding balance if access has been granted or a payment schedule agreed;
S Doran Ltd may, at its sole discretion, permit the transfer of paid value to other products or services, but is under no obligation to do so.
Any exceptions must be agreed in writing and shall not constitute a waiver of this clause for future Bookings.

S Doran Ltd reserves the right to verify all claims and documentation, and to deny any claim where there is insufficient, late, or unreliable evidence. The burden of proof lies with the client.
