Terms and Conditions

(i) Information about workshop content is provided in the workshop listing on our website https://christiemiller.co.uk/writing-workshops (“website”) and the workshop will be delivered on https://classroom.google.com/ (“Google Classroom”) subject to circumstances beyond our control. By enrolling on our workshop, you are confirming that you have received sufficient information and have deemed the workshop suitable for you.

(ii) Once you have enrolled on the workshop and paid the workshop fee, we will send you an email to confirm your enrolment and instructions on how to gain access to the workshop via Google Classroom. The access to the workshop’s Google Classroom page and to our workshop material is for you and you alone. You agree not to allow any third party to access the workshop via your username and you agree to keep your password confidential.

(iii) We will provide instructions for the use of Google Classroom prior to the start of the workshop.  We do not provide technical support for any technical faults or difficulties you may encounter while using Google Classroom. You accept that Google Classroom may occasionally be unavailable in case of Google Classroom outages. You agree that we may move the workshop to a different learning management system in the event of serious malfunction of Google Classroom in order that the workshop can continue – in this event we will notify you and provide instructions and support for the use of the alternative learning management system. We will not be responsible for interruption of service due to events beyond our control, such as but not limited to failure of telecommunications links. Any technical problems relating to your computer or other equipment and their compatibility with the Google Classroom site are your responsibility.

(iv) We reserve the right to refuse to enrol any prospective student on our workshop for any reason prior to workshop commencement. In the event we refuse enrolment, we will promptly refund the workshop fee if already paid.

(i) Provided you pay the workshop fee in full before enrolment and comply with these terms and conditions and such other ‘housekeeping’ rules as we detail in Google Classroom to ensure the smooth running of the workshop – and unless prevented from doing so by circumstances beyond our control – we will deliver the workshop as described in the website and in Google Classroom. We reserve the right to alter personnel involved in provision of the workshop for any reason.

(ii) It is understood that the smooth running and success of the workshop depends on full and positive participation by the students. In enrolling on the workshop, you agree to participate fully and in a timely fashion – this includes undertaking to complete assignments and upload them in Google Classroom.

(iii) We will endeavour to provide feedback to any assignments submitted later than the suggested submission deadline within four business days. However, this will delay your progress on the course.

(iv) You will have access to all workshop materials for the duration of thirty five days after the release of the last module. We will provide you with feedback to any assignments submitted prior to twenty eight days after the release of the last module. After this date, we will not provide you with feedback on assignments. Each late assignment will take four business days to return with feedback, and we will return late assignments according to their module order.

(v) We require that all workshop contributors – tutors, students, and Christie Miller Consulting staff – are treated with respect. 

(vi) You understand that your name, and the content you contribute to forums will be visible in Google Classroom to your tutor, and relevant Christie Miller Consulting staff.

(vii) You must not submit material, images or written content which might reasonably be deemed to be impolite, offensive or abusive or which is/are unlawful. You agree to use Google Classroom only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe the rights of any third party.

(viii) You guarantee that any material posted in Google Classroom or otherwise submitted is your own work, unless otherwise stated, and does not infringe the copyright or intellectual property rights of any third party. If you have made use of an AI tool (such as ChatGPT) in the creation of your material, you agree to disclose this information to us, with the exception of assignments that explicitly incorporate the use of an AI tool.

(ix) All written work and images submitted to us will be securely stored.

(x) We have the right (but not the obligation) to act as moderators and to remove and delete any material from Google Classroom at our discretion at any time in order to ensure the smooth running of the workshop.

(xi) We reserve the right to amend our workshop materials at any time to ensure that they are current and relevant.

(xii) We do not make a commitment that you will obtain any particular result from participation in the workshop or guarantee that you will gain entry to a university.

(i) Personal Data you provide as part of your enrolment in and participation on our workshop will be used only as set out in these terms and conditions and our Privacy Policy (available on https://christiemiller.co.uk/privacy-policy).

(iii) We will not share your personal email address or any other information given to us confidentially in the area of the Google Classroom platform accessible to other students.

(iv) By providing personal information, you expressly consent to your personal information being used and processed as explained.

(i) You own the copyright and intellectual property to all of your original material. We will not attempt to assert proprietorship over any work that is produced on our workshops. All students must respect the integrity and provenance of material which is not their own and must keep confidential and private any information about other students’ original material and essay ideas which has been disclosed to them within the workshop.

(ii) Christie Miller Consulting workshops are owned by Christie Miller Consulting Limited. We will at all times remain the owner of the intellectual property in all parts of the Google Classroom page and of our website that are created by us and our contractors and employees, both public and secure areas, including but not limited to workshop materials, and our names, trademarks and logos.

You may print single copies of workshop materials for your personal use in connection with a workshop only. You may not republish or make public our workshop material on the Internet or elsewhere or make any other use of our workshop material without our prior written approval.

You agree to pay the workshop fee in full before enrolment. The workshop fee covers all parts of the workshop. All fees are quoted in UK pounds sterling.

(i) Our failure to enforce a right does not result in a waiver of such a right.

(ii) If any of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions are held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court having authority to determine such issues, the remaining terms will not be affected.

(iii) These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law and the parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
