All programme bookings must be confirmed in writing by an authorised representative of the company and/or delegate (referred to as Client herein) prior to the commencement of the programme.

Fees, Charges and Expenses
Programme fees are for tuition and know-how.
Private Programmes (SCQuARE Virtual Training; SCQuARE Closed Training; SCQuARE Strategy Into Action; interACT High Impact Communications; SCQuARE On-Boarding; SCQuARE for Sales; BREAKER)
We reserve the right to withdraw from programmes for which no signed contract or valid authorisation has been received prior to commencement of the event.

All air travel will be in business class except when flight time is less than three hours from the UK when it will be in economy class.
Public Programmes (SCQuARE Virtual Open; SCQuARE Open; BREAKER Open)
Delegates for whom fees have not been received may be prevented from attending the programme.
Internet platform for delivery of services
SCQuARE International provides ‘Zoom’ or ‘MS Teams’ connection for all programmes, or a client’s preferred system if required. Any costs associated with using a client-chosen platform that is not Zoom or MS Teams must be undertaken by the client.
Although we do all that we can to ensure the best quality of connection by consultants, audio and visuals, SIL is unable to take responsibility for poor internet connection outside of our control. If this impedes our delivery during a scheduled training session we will reschedule at no additional cost to the client.
