ADDITIONAL TERMS OF SERVICE FOR TRAININGS
In addition to the Terms of Service for all products listed above, I also agree to the following additional Terms of Service for the training(s) I am purchasing from The Scheduling Institute.
Payment
Each training purchased must be paid for four weeks prior to the scheduled training date. If purchased as part of a bundle, the prorated portion of the bundle price must be paid.

I understand that The Scheduling Institute is agreeing to commit substantial resources and provide valuable materials to my company, the value of which is difficult to ascertain at the time of my order. I therefore acknowledge that The Scheduling Institute’s retention of the non-refundable portion of the total training price in the event of my company’s cancellation is not a penalty, but rather a reasonable measure of damages likely to be caused by my cancellation.
Travel Expenses
