Skillseed terms & Conditions for PUBLIC WORKSHOPS
These terms and conditions are applicable for Skillseed’s workshops that are open to the public. Participants for these workshops can be sponsored by his/her organisation (“Organisation”) or may choose to sign up as an individual (“Individual”). If the Organisation has received and accepted a proposal from Skillseed, the specific T&Cs contained within the Proposal will take precedence over this set of T&Cs.
Please read the following terms and conditions carefully before signing up for any of our courses:
1. Payment and Confirmation
An Individual is confirmed as a participant in the workshop only after the individual has successfully submitted the payment of the full workshop fees and completed the participant registration form.
Individuals sponsored by their Organisation have the obligation to check with their organisation that payment has been made successfully before they are confirmed for the workshop. Individuals sponsored by their Organisation will need to fill in the registration form individually before they are confirmed for the workshop.

There shall be no refund, partial or full, in the event that:
2.1 the participant cancels his/her confirmed slot less than 3 calendar weeks (21 calendar days) from the date of the workshop.

2.3 the participant is unable to attend the workshop on the day.

If payment has been made successfully, the participant may transfer his/her slot to another individual, provided that:
3.1 The replacement is also a public servant (for courses that explicitly state that they are only open to public servants)
3.2 Skillseed has been informed of the change, via email, at least 3 working days before the workshop date.
3.3 The replacement has completed the participant registration form.
4. Refund of Unused Services During Workshop or Learning Journey
