3.1 In consideration for the provision of the Training Services, the Client shall pay Yordas the Fees in accordance with this clause 3.

3.2 We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices stated for the Training Services are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered into the system. However, it is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Training Services on our site may be incorrectly priced. Where the correct price for the Services is less than the price stated on our site, we will charge the lower amount and if the correct price for the Services is higher than the price stated on our site, we will contact you in writing as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Training Services at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.
