Terms & Conditions

Hartbeeps Terms and Conditions (the "Terms and Conditions")

PAYMENT SHOULD BE MADE ON BOOKING - UNPAID SPACES WILL NOT BE HELD

Should we go into a lockdown situation or be restricted from holding face to face classes, online classes will be delivered as an alternative for the remainder of the block.

No refunds can be offered.

Booking/Payments

We run in monthly terms with the new term beginning at the start of each month.

Booking operates on a first come, first served basis. Places are not guaranteed; they are subject to availability and will ordinarily be allocated via an online booking system.

Upon joining Hartbeeps your place will be reserved and rolled on to future terms until such times as you notify us that you are leaving. We would ask that you email isla@hartbeeps.com if you'd like to leave or are unable to attend at any point so that we can reallocate the space.

Unpaid spaces will be cancelled on the last day of the previous term month.

Please note that sessions can not be rolled over and must be taken consecutively. If you aren’t able to attend your regular session please get in touch and we will try to reallocate your booking to another session in the same week.

Payment should be made upon booking or upon receipt of our invoice.

Refunds/credits are not given once the term has started.

Sickness; if your baby/child is sick please feel free to call and let us know. If it is likely to be a long term illness then please call and discuss with your session leader.

Little Hartbeepers often have runny noses and sniffly sneezes as their immune system is exposed to the world and builds strength. Teething symptoms often mimic that of a cold as well, so please do not panic or point blame if you or your little one falls unwell. We are all in this together and doing our best to keep ourselves and each other safe.

In the event of poor weather conditions online classes or a make up date will also be offered as an alternative. No refunds can be offered.

Getting in touch

We are a Hartbeeps franchisee, a sole trader established as Isla Donaghy's Hartbeeps in Scotland ("Hartbeeps"). If you need to contact us for anything related to these Terms and Conditions, you can reach us at isla@hartbeeps.com.

HARTBEEPS TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Date of last update: 5th February 2024

GENERAL

ABOUT US AND THE WEBSITE

1.Hartbeeps is the trading name of Soundplay Music Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales, with registered company number 08655173 and with its registered office address at C/O Hillier Hopkins First Floor, Radius House, 51 Clarendon Road, Watford, United Kingdom, WD17 1HP ("Hartbeeps").

2.Hartbeeps is a franchised business. If you book a Session on the Website, both the booking and the Session itself will be handled, provided and run by one of our independently-owned and independently-operated franchisees (each a "Franchisee"), and not by Hartbeeps.

6.Certain words and phrases which are used repeatedly in these Terms and Conditions are given a specific meaning, and these are known as "defined terms". You can identify defined terms because they start with capital letters (even if they are not at the start of a sentence).

PART 2 – BOOKING TERMS

Concluding a contract

1.In order to make a booking on the Website, you will be required to tick a checkbox to consent to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. When you tick that checkbox and make a booking, you enter into a legally binding contract with the Franchisee with whom you have made the booking (and the full identity of and contact details for the relevant Franchisee will be notified to you during, and confirmed for you after, the booking process). For the avoidance of doubt, bookings are not placed with Hartbeeps and Hartbeeps will not be a party to any contract that you enter into with a Franchisee in relation to a booking.

2.Irrespective of your place of residence, any booking that you make on the Website is deemed to be occurring in Great Britain and will be governed by these Booking Terms (and the Terms and Conditions more generally). These Booking Terms may change from time to time but the Booking Terms that you consent to at the time that you place a booking will be the Booking Terms that apply to the contract that you enter into for that particular booking.

Booking eligibility and process

3.You may only make a booking if you are at least eighteen (18) years old.

4.The booking process will be in English (at this time, translations at the checkout are not available).

5.The booking options offered on the Website may change from time to time for any operational or commercial reason. Currently, the Website enables you to book different "Sessions" (such as classes, events and parties) and, in each case, the description and the price of each such Session will be displayed clearly on the Website. You can request more information on any Session by contacting the Franchisee named on the booking description.

6.In order to make a booking you must first submit a booking request by taking the following steps:

(a)add one or more Sessions to your online basket;

(b)provide the necessary requested information (for example, the booking may require you to input your name / email address / phone number, the date and location of the Session, and your child's name and age);

(d)select a payment method from the options offered at the checkout and enter the necessary associated information (for example, your card details / billing address);

(e)review your order and correct any errors;

(f)tick the checkbox to provide your consent to be bound by the Terms and Conditions; and

(g)click 'Submit' or similar to submit the booking request.

7.You are responsible for ensuring that all of the information that you provide in connection with a booking request is complete and accurate and you must notify the Franchisee immediately if there are any changes to the information entered.

8.Your booking request constitutes an offer to the Franchisee, and once it has been submitted you will receive an acknowledgement via email of your booking request. The acknowledgment is not a confirmation that a booking request has been accepted. Each booking request will be reviewed by the Franchisee and the Franchisee is not obliged to accept any booking request.

9.Booking operates on a first come, first served basis and places are not guaranteed; they are subject to availability.

10.If a booking request is declined, you will be informed via email (although the Franchisee is not obliged to provide you with any reason for the decline) and your payment method will not be charged.

11.If a booking request is accepted, you will be informed via email and your payment method will be charged at that time. The email confirmation of your booking will restate the details of the booking you have made (for example, the date, location and price of the Session(s)). This is the point at which a legal contract of sale between you and the Franchisee will be formed and these Booking Terms (in addition to the other Terms and Conditions) will become legally binding on you. For the avoidance of doubt; Hartbeeps is not a party to and has no responsibility or liability under that contract.

12.You are recommended to store a copy of the contract that you enter into with the Franchisee as neither Hartbeeps nor the Franchisee will keep a copy of this.

13.The Franchisee is under a legal duty to provide you with services that are in accordance with the terms applying to your confirmed booking.

Payment

14.The prices for Sessions will be set out on the Website in GBP and are inclusive of VAT. Neither Hartbeeps nor the Franchisee will be liable for any charges you may be responsible for arising out of currency conversion carried out by your bank in the event that you make payment in any currency other than GBP.

15.It is always possible that Sessions may be incorrectly priced. The Franchisee will normally check prices before accepting your booking request. Where the correct price at the time of your order is less than the stated price at that time, you will be charged the lower amount. If the correct price at the time of your order is higher than the price stated to you, the Franchisee will contact you for your instructions before accepting your booking request. If the Franchisee accepts a booking where a pricing error is obvious, unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, the Franchisee may end their contract with you, cancel that booking, and refund any sums that you have paid.

16.You may make payment using one of the payment methods named at the checkout. Payments are carried out by an independent payment processor, such as Paypal and Stripe, and its affiliates. The processing of your payment is therefore subject to and governed by that payment processor's terms and policies. Neither Hartbeeps nor the Franchisee is involved in payment processing and do not accept any liability relating to those services and processes. In particular, neither Hartbeeps nor the Franchisee is responsible for any errors made by the payment processor. You should review the applicable terms and policies of any payment processor that apply to you.

17.When making a payment, you confirm that the card or bank account which is being used is yours, or that you have the authorisation of the account holder to use it. If you use a payment method that you are not authorised to use, you may be liable to Hartbeeps and/or the Franchisee for any losses incurred or suffered as a result of your unauthorised use of that payment method.

18.All credit and debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the issuer of the card. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to pay or does not for any reason authorise payment, your payment will not be accepted and your booking will be cancelled.

Franchisee performance and/or cancellation of bookings

19.The Franchisee will perform the booked services at the Session on the date set out in your booking confirmation, unless it is necessary (for example, because of legal, operational or safety reasons) for the Franchisee to:

(a)cancel a booking, in which case you will be informed via email and any payment you made in respect of the original booking will be refunded to you; or

(b)postpone or cancel a Session, in which case, you will be informed via email or telephone and you will be given the opportunity to either: (i) accept the new date / time offered, at no extra cost, in which case the updated details of the booking will be confirmed to you via email; or (ii) reject the new date / time offered, in which case your place on the replacement booking will be cancelled and this will be confirmed to you via email, and any payment you made in respect of the original booking will be refunded to you.

Cancellation rights

20.Except for your right to cancel a Session under clause 19 above, you do not have the right to change your mind and cancel your booking for a Session because, under regulation 28 of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (the "CCRs"), a booking for a Session is a contract for a leisure activity with a specific date or period of performance. This means that if you want to cancel your Session for any reason (except those set outin clause 19) or if you do not attend your booked Session then you will not be eligible for a refund because, when you book the Session, the Franchisee reserves a place for you in that particular Session that they may not be able to re-sell if you no longer attend.

Your other rights of refund

21.You have legal rights in relation to services that are not carried out with reasonable care and skill, that are not priced reasonably (if you have not agreed a price beforehand), or that are not performed within a reasonable timeframe (if you have not agreed a timeframe beforehand).

22.If you believe that any services that you have ordered do not conform with your legal rights, please contact the Franchisee as soon as possible.

Rules of Attendance

Application of Rules of Attendance

23.The Rules of Attendance set out in this section apply at any Session that you attend under a booking and are intended to ensure that all attendees are safe and satisfied.

24.The Rules of Attendance include both the rules set out in this section and also any rules and restrictions that are communicated to you by the Franchisee or Session leader as part of the booking process or upon your arrival at the relevant Session location.

25.When you make any booking you are agreeing to comply with the Rules of Attendance. If you have been given permission for another adult to attend a Session that you have booked in your place, it is your responsibility to ensure that such other person consents to comply with these Rules of Attendance in full. You accept responsibility and liability for that person's behaviour.

Who may attend

26.The person who has made the booking is the only person who is permitted to attend the Session (together with the baby or child for whom they have made the booking, details of whom are also required to be provided during the booking process).

27.If you are the person who has made the booking but you would like to assign another adult to attend the Session in your place, you must obtain at least twenty four (24) hours' prior advance permission from the Franchisee to do so.

28.The Franchisee reserves the right to prevent access to a Session to any person who:

(a)is not named on the booking, or otherwise given prior permission to attend;

(b)who does not comply with these Rules of Attendance.

Behaviour

29.Please aim to arrive no more than five (5) minutes before your Session.

30.Disruptive or unruly behaviour during the Session is prohibited. You are asked to be mindful of others' rights to enjoy the Session.

31.Mobile phones must be either off or on silent mode.

32.Bookings are sometimes held in venues with hard surfaces and although mats may be provided you are encouraged to bring a blanket or other soft covering for your baby or child to lie on.

33.The Session environment is intended to be both relaxed and social, however, to show respect for the whole group it is requested that general chatter be kept to a minimum. This ensures that the focus is kept on the children and babies.

34.If a younger baby sleeps or an older baby or toddler simply observes, they are still experiencing the Session.

35.If a child or baby becomes restless or needs breastfeeding or changing during the Session, please feel free to do so. However, no solid food is to be consumed by adults or children during the Hartbeeps Session (except where required for medical reasons), nor shared with or allowed to be accessible to other children. This ensures that the risk of allergy, intolerance or sensitivity is minimised.

36.You must follow and comply with the reasonable instructions of the Session leaders at all times during any Session.

Photographs and videos

37.You are prohibited from making any commercial use of the name, likeness and audio / visual /audio-visual materials of any Session without the explicit prior written consent of Hartbeeps. "Commercial use" in this context would include (but not be limited to) offering for sale or selling.

38.Filming and photos of your child/children during class is permitted, however you must not take any photographs or videos of any other person in a Session without their express permission.

39.A Franchisee may require that all that photography and filming is stopped if they have any concerns that these Terms and Conditions are not being complied with. Their decision is final, and continued participation in the class is contingent upon complying with the Session leader's instructions.

40.You must not share, distribute, publish, or post any photographs or videos of any person (other than yourself and your child) without their express permission.

41.A Franchisee will sometimes request that promotional film and photography is taken during classes, but you will be given due notice and your permission will be requested in advance. You will be permitted to cancel your booking and receive a refund if you do not consent to participate in the filming / photography.

Discrimination

42.Discrimination of any kind is not tolerated at any Session.

43.Parents and caregivers should ensure that their behaviour at each Session is appropriate at all times, and refrain from behaving in a discriminatory or disruptive manner or in a way which could cause offence to anyone else. This includes refraining from using bad language. All parents and caregivers are required to show respect to all Session leaders and attendees.

44.The Session leader has the right to ask anyone who is behaving other than in accordance with these Terms and Conditions to leave a Session. In these circumstances, you may be prevented from booking future Sessions. The Franchisee may also reserve the right to refer any of these matters to the police.

Health and safety

45.Each Franchisee takes child protection very seriously. Each Franchisee will adhere to a company safeguarding policy. Franchisees also have public liability insurance and a valid Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. Please note, however, that neither the Franchisee nor the Session leader is a medically trained professional or capable of or qualified to assess the medical health of any person or perform any medical procedure or intervention whatsoever.

46.The Franchisee will ensure that risk assessments are undertaken in respect of every venue. As parents and carers you will be aware that although every effort is taken to ensure that theenvironment is safe and the props used are in good condition, accidents can occur to children in the safest of environments. Please ensure that you supervise your child at all times during the Session as neither the Franchisee nor Hartbeeps can be held responsible for accident or injury incurred during Sessions, other than as set out in these Terms and Conditions or as required by law.

47.Some classes may be offered online. If you are participating in an online class, neither Hartbeepsnor a Franchisee can reasonably take responsibility for the safety of the space in which you choose to participate in the class, or for any accident or injury incurred by you or your child while participating.

You must also ensure that any props that you choose to use during an online class are safe and age-appropriate. Certain videos will be indicated as containing flashing lights and rapid imagery. Do not participate in these indicated videos if you or your child is prone to seizures. Motion sickness may also be experienced.

Allergies and illness

53.If you or your child has any allergy, intolerance or sensitivity of any kind that has the potential to affect the health of any person, you must inform the Franchisee during the booking process, and reiterate the same on arrival at the Session. The Franchisee will not be aware of any such considerations unless you clearly communicate these.

54.Please do not attend Sessions in the event of you or your child being unwell so that you ensure that the risk of infections or communicable diseases spreading is isolated. In the event that your child contracts an illness or infection prior to a Session, please inform the Franchisee so that your booking can be cancelled.

to provide you with any reason for the decline) and your payment method will not be charged.

If a booking request is accepted, you will be informed via email and your payment method will be

charged at that time

. Th

email confirmation

of your booking will restate the details of the booking you

have made (for example, the date, location and price

of the

ession(s)

). This is the point at which a

legal contract of sale between you and the Franchisee will be formed and these Booking Terms (in

addition to the other Terms and Conditions) will become legally binding on you.

For the avoidance of

doubt;

Hartbeeps is not a party to and has no responsibility or liability under that contract

You are

recommend

ed to

store a copy of the contract that you

enter into with the Franchisee

as neither

Hartbeeps nor the Franchisee will keep a copy of this

The Franchisee is under a legal duty to provide you with services that are

in accordance

with the terms

applying to your confirmed booking.

Payment

The prices

for

ession

s will be

set out on the Website in GBP and are inclusive of VAT.

Neither

Hartbeeps

nor

the Franchisee will be liable for any charges you may be responsible for arising out of

currency conversion carried out by your bank in the event that you make payment in any currency other

than GBP.

It is always possible that

ession

may be incorrectly priced.

The Franchisee

will normally check prices

before accepting your

booking request

. Where

the

correct price at the time of your order is less than

the

stated price at that time,

you will be charged

the lower amount. If

the

correct price at the time of

your order is higher than the price stated to you,

the Franchisee

will contact you for your instructions

before

accepting your booking request

. If

the Franchisee

error is

obvious, unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing,

the

Page

Franchisee

may end

their

contract with

you, cancel that booking,

and refund any sums

that you

have

paid.

You may make payment using one of the payment methods

named at the checkout

. Payments are

carried out by an independent payment processor,

such as Paypal and Stripe

, and its affiliates. The

processing of your payment is therefore subject to and governed by

that payment processor's

terms

and policies.

Neither

Hartbeeps

nor the Franchisee

is involved in payment processing and

do not

any liability relating to th

se services and processes. In particular,

neither

Hartbeeps

nor the Franchisee

is responsible for any errors made by

the

payment processor. You should review the applicable terms

and policies of any payment processor that appl

to you

When

making a

payment

, you confirm that the card or bank account which is being used is yours, or

that you have the authorisation of the account holder to

use it

. If you use a payment method that you

are not authorised to use,

you may be

liable to

Hartbeeps and/or the Franchisee

for any losses

incurred

or suffered

as a result of your

unauthorised

use of that payment method.

All credit

and

debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authori

ation by the issuer of the

card. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to pay or does not for any reason authorise payment,

your

payment

will not be accepted

and your booking will be cancelled

Franchisee p

erformance and/or cancellation of bookings

The Franchisee w

ill perform the

booked

services

at the

ssion

on the date set out in your

booking

confirmation, unless it is necessary

(for example, because of legal, operational or safety reasons)

for

the Franchisee to

(a)

cancel a booking, in which case

you will be informed via email and

any payment you made in

respect of the original booking will be refunded to you; or

(b)

postpone or cancel

ession

, in which case,

you will be informed via email or telephone and

you will be given the opportunity to either

(i)

accept the new date / time offered, at no extra

cost, in which case the updated details of the booking will be confirmed to you via email; or

(ii)

reject the new date / time offered, in which case your place on the replacement booking will be

cancelled and this will be confirmed to you via email, and any payment you made in respect of

the original booking will be

refunded to you.

Cancellation rights

Except for your right to cancel a Session under clause 19 above, you do not have the right to change

your mind and cancel your booking for a Session because,

under regulation 28 of the

Consumer

Contracts (Information, Ca

ncellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (the

CCRs

), a

booking for a Session is a contract for a leisure activity with a specific date or period of performance.

This means that if you want to cancel your Session for any reason

(except those

set out

clause

19)

if you

do not

attend your booked Session then you will not be eligible for a refund

because, when

you book the Session, the Franchisee reserves a place for you in that particular Session that they may

not be able to re

sell

if you no longer attend

Your other

rights of refund

You have legal rights in relation to services that are not carried out with reasonable care and skill, that

are not priced reasonably (if you have

not

agreed a price beforehand), or that are not performed within

a reasonable timeframe (if you have

not

agreed a timeframe beforehand).

If you believe that any services that you have ordered do not conform with

your legal rights,

please

contact

the Franchisee as soon as possible.

The Rules of Attendance

set out in this section

section

and also any rules and restrictions

that are communicated to you by the Franchisee

ession leader

as part of the booking process or

upon

your arrival at the relevant

ssion

location.

When you make any booking you are agreeing to comply with the Rules of Attendance. If you have

been given permission for another adult to attend a

ssion that you have booked in your place, it is

your responsibility to ensure that such other person consents to comply with these Rules of Attendance

in full. You accept responsibility and liability for that person's behaviour.

ession

(

together with the

baby or

child for whom they have made the booking

, details of whom are

also

required

to be provided during the booking process).

If you are the person who has made the booking but you would like to assign another adult to attend

the

ession in your place, you

or child

to lie on.

The

ession environment is intended to be both relaxed and social, however, to show respect for the

whole group

due notice and

your

permission

will be requested

in advance.

You will be permitted to

cancel your booking and receive a refund if you do not consent to participate in the filming / photography.

Discrimination

Discrimination of any kind is not tolerated at any

ession.

Parents and caregivers should ensure that their behaviour

at each Session

is appropriate at all times,

and refrain from behaving in a discriminatory or disruptive manner or

a way which

could

cause offence

to anyone else. This includes refraining from using bad language. All parents and caregivers are

required to show respect to all

ession leaders and attendees.

The

ession leader has the right to ask anyone who is behaving other than in accordance with these

Terms and Conditions to leave

ession

. In these circumstances,

you may be prevented from booking

future

ssions

The Franchisee may also

reserve the right to refer any of these matters to the police.
