Terms and Conditions

Teaching Entrepreneur Association (TEA)

We aim to have terms and conditions that are easy to understand. However, should you have any questions please contact us for clarification, we would be delighted to help.  In using the Teaching Entrepreneur Association Website, you are deemed to have read and agreed to these Terms and Conditions.

What you are buying.

Membership is to admit one person to the Teaching Entrepreneur Association Membership website, and cannot be shared or transferred. Membership must be allocated to a named Member at point of sale.

For bulk licences, you are buying a pre-agreed number of memberships to admit only that number of Members to the site.  These memberships will be allocated individually to named members at the point of sale and cannot be shared or transferred.

Each Membership includes:

  • Access to all of our online courses and workbooks (with new courses being added on a regular basis)
  • Essential teaching and business toolkit of downloadable resources and materials
  • Access to select and purchase from a programme of day courses, talks, events and meet-ups at varying locations and dates, to be confirmed by TEA
  • Access to experienced professionals for general advice, and the opportunity to develop this into paid mentorship
  • Access to the Staffroom to share ideas, problems, tips and stories with fellow independent teachers
  • Opportunity to become a trained and professionally competent teacher and to develop this, if required by paying to enrol on our AET qualification courses.
  • Access to the TEA Facebook group.

Payment and pricing

Payment is required at the time of purchase with the fee payable monthly or yearly, both by direct debit.

Once enrolled as a member, the fees will remain static for the duration of that uninterrupted membership. However, TEA reserves the right to raise the fees for new members and should an existing member leave, then re-join, they will be subject to the appropriate fee-rate at the time of re-joining.

Cancellation

We understand that your circumstances can change so if you wish to cancel your membership, login to the TEA website (www.teateaching.com) and go to the bottom of the Members’ area. To the right of the screen is the cancellation button.  Select it, and your membership will be terminated immediately and you will no longer be charged.

Refunds

TEA does not refund, either partly or in total, the membership fee in any circumstances.

Event Cancellation

There may be occasions when, for various reasons, TEA may have to cancel a programmed event.  Decisions about the viability of events or courses will be made two weeks before the start date of that event or course and, if cancelled at this stage, you will be notified by e-mail. We therefore strongly recommend that you do not book, prior to a fortnight before the start date, any transport or accommodation that cannot be refunded, as TEA cannot accept liability for any costs incurred by intended attendees in the event of cancellation.

Privacy

We respect your privacy and you can access our privacy policy via the TEA website. www.teateaching.com
