5.2.2. if a change is agreed by the Parties, The Unseen will issue the Student with a new booking confirmation and either:

5.2.2.1. a request for any underpayment arising in consequence, which shall be paid in accordance with sub-clause 4.3.2 above; or,

5.3.3. if the cancellation request is received after the Cooling Off Period and:

5.5. If clause 5.4 above applies and having offered the Student a reasonable opportunity (or further opportunity) to change the Booking and the Parties cannot agree on a new Booking, then clause 8.1 below will apply.

5.6. If the Student wishes to join a different Course after the Booked Course has commenced, this will be treated as a course transfer, clause 5.2 above will not apply, and instead the Student will be asked for any underpayment of the Course Price (which must be before the Student is permitted to transfer to the new Course) but will not be refunded if there is an overpayment.

5.7. The Student will pay all amounts due to The Unseen under these Terms in full without any deduction or withholding and will not be entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against The Unseen in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part.

● What you consider should be done to put it right

We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint within five (5) working days of receipt.

We will then investigate and provide you with a full response which outlines the findings of any investigation and, wherever possible, resolve the matter to your satisfaction. We will also keep each stage of the complaints procedure independent and as impartial as possible.

Stage 2

Whilst we will do our best to ensure your complaint is resolved in the first stage, we understand that you may still not be satisfied with the initial response letter you receive. If this is the case you may write formally to us at:

[Lucy Olivia, The Unseen, 72-74 Dean Street, London W1D 3SG]

If your complaint is particularly complex it may take longer to resolve. We will, however, always keep you informed regarding our investigation into the issues you raise. We will ultimately issue a formal resolution letter in response to your complaint as part of our procedure.

Your complaint will be treated in the strictest confidence.
