Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds, but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend, so that your place can be offered to someone else. You can do this by emailing training@turtlecyp.co.uk or cancel on this EEQU website.

My experience is an educational activity and the 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
