Using the Courses
In consideration of you having paid, and DYT having accepted, a fee, DYT grants you, the End User, rights to access the Courses subject to acceptance of the Terms and Conditions set out below.
By accessing the Courses, you, the End User, accept the following conditions:
You agree to use the DYT training site and courses only for lawful purposes, and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of or restrict or inhibit the use and enjoyment of the courses and site by any third party. Such restriction or inhibition includes, without limitation, conduct which is inlawful, or which may harass or cause distress or inconvenience to any person, and the transmission of obscene or offensive content or disruption of normal flow of dialogue within this site.
Neither DYT, nor any Agent distributing access to the courses on behalf of DYT, nor the Course Developers, nor individuals involved in the delivery of the courses (individually and severally covered here by the designation ‘DYT’) make any claims about the suitability of the Courses for any particular purposes. The suitability of the Courses to you, the End user’s, needs is wholly a matter for your judgement. To the maximum extent allowed by law, DYT excludes all claims against it howsoever arising from use of the Courses in circumstances for which it is inappropriate.
While reasonable professional care has been taken in developing the Courses, DYT make no warranties concerning the correctness or completeness of the Courses. To the maximum extent allowed by law, DYT excludes all claims against it arising from errors or omissions in the Courses.
Log-in codes or passwords required to access the Courses are provided for your personal use only and cannot be shared with anyone else unless the commercial terms under which access is provided specifically allow for multiple use. You are required to take reasonable measures to prevent unauthorised use by others and to report such use to DYT. You accept liability for any losses to DYT arising from your deliberately sharing log-in codes or your failure to show appropriate diligence in keeping your code confidential.
Access to the Courses requires the functioning of servers, websites and internet connections. DYT undertakes to provide a service at least meeting industry norms for those elements of availability which are under its control. It does not undertake to provide availability to the Courses at any specific time. Under the conditions of this Licence, DYT specifically excludes liability to you or any third party for losses arising from the non-availability of access to the Courses at any particular time. If you provide evidence that the general availability of access is inferior to that which could be expected under normal industry standards because of failure on the part of DYT, DYT may provide compensation which will not in any event exceed the price paid by you, or on your behalf, to purchase the Course.
DYT may record live learning sessions within courses that contain them. This is for internal purposes. Recorded content may be used for promotional purposes. By accessing live sessions, you accept that content will be recorded.
Duration of access to the courses may vary depending on the course or courses. Access to all courses will not exceed 12 months without renewing your licence and this will include access to forums, discussion sites and portfolio.

We aim to respond to all support requests as soon as possible and no later than within two working days.
Cancellation policy
You may cancel your purchase of any course up to 5 days prior to the start date or any time prior to accessing content on the DYT learning portal. No refunds will be provided after you have accessed content or attended any of the learning events, unless you provide evidence that the general availability of access is inferior to that which could be expected under normal industry standards because of failure on the part of DYT. DYT may provide compensation which will not in any event exceed the price paid by you, or on your behalf, to purchase the Course.
