Limitation of liability
While we will use reasonable endeavours to verify the accuracy of any information we place on the website, we make no warranties, whether express or implied in relation to its accuracy.

The website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without any representation or endorsement made and we make no warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, in relation to the website, or any transaction that may be conducted on or through the website including but not limited to, implied warranties of non-infringement, compatibility, security, accuracy, conditions of completeness, or any implied warranty arising from course of dealing or usage or trade.

We will not be responsible or liable to you for any loss of content or material uploaded or transmitted through the website. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, we disclaim any and all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, in relation to the products.

We do not seek to limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence. Our liability in connection with any product(s) purchased through our website is strictly limited to the purchase price of that product.  We will not be liable, in contract, tort (including, without limitation, negligence), pre-contract or other representations (other than fraudulent or negligent misrepresentations) or otherwise out of or in connection with the conditions for: any economic losses (including without limitation loss of revenues, profits, contracts, business or anticipated savings); or any loss of goodwill or reputation; or any special or indirect losses, suffered or incurred by that party arising out of or in connection with the provisions of any matter under the Conditions Entire Agreement.

Purchase of products

Description of products
Each product purchased is sold subject to its product description which sets out additional specific conditions related to that product including, without limitation, terms and conditions concerning estimated delivery dates and times, guarantees, and after-sales service.

We will take all reasonable care to ensure that all details, descriptions and prices of products appearing on the website are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. Although we aim to keep the website as up to date as possible, the information including product descriptions appearing on this website at a particular time may not always reflect the position exactly at the moment you place an order. We cannot confirm the price of a product until your order is accepted, in accordance with our order acceptance policy.

Orders
You must be aged 18 or over to place an order on our website.

Prices and descriptions may be updated from time to time and are subject to change. You must ensure that prior to placing an order you have checked all relevant details about the products and/or services you have selected. We cannot confirm the price of a product until your order is accepted in accordance with our order acceptance policy. Details of this policy can be found in the ‘contract creation and electronic contracting’ section below.

We will take all reasonable care, in so far as it is in our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the website.

Contract creation and electronic contracting 
The technical steps required to create the contract (order acceptance policy) between you and OXCOG Limited are as follows:

  • You place the order for your products on the website by pressing the confirm order button at the end of the checkout process
  • Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy our product(s)
  • We will send to you an order acknowledgement email detailing the products you have ordered. This is not an order confirmation or order acceptance from OXCOG Limited.
  • Order acceptance and the completion of the contract between you and OXCOG Limited will take place on the despatch to you of the products ordered unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled it in accordance with the instructions in ‘change or cancel your order’

Non-acceptance of an order may be a result of one of the following:

  • Our inability to obtain authorisation for your payment
  • The identification of a pricing or product description error

All disputes arising from this contract shall be governed by English law and statutes.

Payment
All prices are inclusive of VAT (where applicable) at the current rates and are correct at the time of entering the information onto the system. The total cost of your order is the price of the products ordered. Payment can be made by any of the methods specified in the payment section of this website and payment will be debited and cleared from your account as set out in the payment section of the website.

You confirm that the credit or debit card being used is yours.

All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to or does not, for any reason, authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery. 

Refusal of transaction
We reserve the right to withdraw any products from this website at any time and/or remove or edit any materials or content on the website. We may refuse to process a transaction for any reason, or refuse service to anyone at any time at our sole discretion.

We will not be liable to you or any third party by reason of: our withdrawing any product from this website whether or not that product has been sold; removing or editing any materials or content on the website; refusing to process a transaction or unwinding or suspending any transaction after processing has begun.

By making an offer to buy a product, you specifically authorise us to transmit information (including any updated information) or to obtain information about you from third parties from time to time, including but not limited to your debit or credit card number or credit reports, to authenticate your identity, to validate your credit card, to obtain an initial credit card authorisation and to authorise individual purchase transactions.

Content and accuracy

The information offered by OXCOG is obtained by our authors from reliable sources. However, while every effort has been made to ensure its accuracy, no responsibility for loss, damage or injury occasioned to any person acting or refraining from action as a result of information contained herein can be accepted by the publishers or author.

Zero tolerance policy

Any form of aggression towards staff working for OXCOG is unacceptable, be it at a course or by email. We therefore operate a zero tolerance policy across the organisation as a whole.

A zero tolerance policy acknowledges that aggressive, abusive and threatening behaviour does not go with the job and will not be tolerated. Violence against staff is a crime and individuals behaving violently or aggressively towards staff may be reported to the police or to the GMC.

This zero tolerance policy covers foul and abusive language sent into the organization by email. We will not respond to any such communication, regardless of the underlying content, and the author will be warned that should their behaviour be repeated, we will terminate their subscription, and the user will not be entitled to any form of refund or compensation.
