Corporate Workshops & Coaching Terms

Latest update: 12 July 2026

These Terms apply where Beck Academy of Dramatic Art Limited (“BADA”, “we”, “us”, “our”) delivers a Business Workshop, Corporate Coaching engagement, or Schools Workshop to a business, school, university, or other organisation (“Corporate Client”). They apply in addition to our Terms & Conditions, and take precedence over them for that engagement in the event of any conflict.

1. Contracting Party and Scope

1.1 The Corporate Client is the contracting party and is responsible for full payment, regardless of how many of its employees, students, or members actually attend.

1.2 Where BADA delivers a Schools Workshop, this document applies with the school, university, or organisation as the Corporate Client, and Clause 8 (Safeguarding and Under-18 Attendees) applies.

2. Scoping and Quotation

2.1 Each engagement is delivered against an agreed scope, date, location, and quotation. Material changes to scope requested by the Corporate Client after booking may incur additional charges, to be agreed in writing before they are carried out.

3. Fees and Payment

3.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing: a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the quoted fee is payable on booking, with the balance due no later than 7 days before the delivery date. For engagements quoted at under [£500], full payment is due on booking.

3.2 Invoices unpaid after 30 days accrue interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, together with our reasonable costs of recovery.

4. Cancellation

4.1 Cancellation more than 28 days before the delivery date: full refund less the deposit. 14–28 days before: 50% of the total fee is retained. Less than 14 days before: the full fee is payable and non-refundable. Any third-party costs already committed on the Corporate Client’s behalf (venue hire, travel, materials) are non-refundable in all cases.

4.2 We may cancel or reschedule an engagement for reasons beyond our reasonable control (see Force Majeure, Terms & Conditions Clause 14), in which case we will offer the next available date or, where that is not practical, a full refund of sums paid for that engagement.

5. Delivery Location and Health & Safety

5.1 Where an engagement is delivered at the Corporate Client’s premises or a venue it selects, the Corporate Client is responsible for ensuring the venue is safe, suitable, and compliant with applicable health and safety law. We will carry out a basic dynamic risk assessment on arrival but this does not transfer responsibility for the premises to us.

6. Confidentiality (Mutual)

6.1 Each party will protect the other’s Confidential Information (as defined in our Terms & Conditions) to at least a reasonable standard of care, and will not disclose it to third parties except to professional advisers bound by confidentiality or as required by law. This clause survives termination of the engagement.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1 We (or our licensors) retain all intellectual property rights in our BEAT® methodology and all training materials used in the engagement. The Corporate Client receives a licence to use any materials we provide solely for its own internal purposes in connection with the engagement, and must not reproduce, resell, or use them to create a competing or derivative training product.

7.2 Where we create bespoke materials specifically for a Corporate Client, ownership is as agreed in the written quotation for that engagement; in the absence of a written agreement to the contrary, we retain ownership and the Corporate Client receives the licence described in Clause 7.1.

8. Safeguarding and Under-18 Attendees

8.1 Where an engagement involves attendees under 18 (including Schools Workshops), the Corporate Client remains responsible for the supervision, behavioural management, and safeguarding of its own pupils, students, or young attendees throughout the engagement, whether delivered on its own premises or a venue hired for the purpose. We do not chaperone attendees, do not act in loco parentis, and take no responsibility for attendees outside the direct delivery of the workshop content.

8.2 If a BADA team member has a safeguarding concern during an engagement, we will raise it immediately with the supervising member of the Corporate Client’s staff, and may additionally act in accordance with our own safeguarding obligations under our Student Behaviour Policy where relevant.

9. Conduct of Attendees

9.1 The Corporate Client is responsible for ensuring its attendees comply with our House Rules and Customer Code of Conduct. We may remove a disruptive or abusive attendee from a session; this does not entitle the Corporate Client to a refund and does not affect fees due.

10. Liability and Insurance

10.1 We hold Public Liability and Professional Indemnity insurance and will provide evidence of cover on reasonable request.

10.2 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot be excluded under English law. Subject to that, our total liability arising out of any single engagement is limited to the total fees paid for that engagement, and neither party is liable to the other for indirect or consequential loss, including loss of profit, revenue, or business opportunity.

10.3 The Corporate Client agrees to indemnify us against losses, damages, and reasonable costs we incur arising from: (a) a breach of these Terms by the Corporate Client or its attendees; (b) information or materials provided by the Corporate Client that infringe a third party’s rights; or (c) the Corporate Client’s failure to meet its obligations under Clause 5 (venue safety) or Clause 8 (safeguarding).

11. Data Protection

11.1 Where the Corporate Client shares personal data about its employees or attendees with us (for example, names and email addresses for booking), the Corporate Client confirms it has a lawful basis to share that data, and we will process it in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

12. Non-Solicitation

12.1 For 12 months after an engagement ends, the Corporate Client agrees not to directly engage any BADA coach or teacher who delivered that engagement, outside of a further agreement with BADA, without our prior written consent.

13. Term, Termination and Governing Law

13.1 Either party may terminate an engagement for a material, unremedied breach by the other party on 14 days’ written notice. These Terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

14. Recording, Confidentiality & AI Use

14.1 Any recording, filming, or photography of an engagement — whether by us for our own promotional or quality purposes, or by the Corporate Client or its attendees — and any use of Artificial Intelligence tools in connection with materials, recordings, or content arising from the engagement, is governed by our Recording, Confidentiality & AI Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Where our Recording, Confidentiality & AI Use Policy conflicts with this document on those points, the more restrictive provision applies.

14.2 Where the Corporate Client wishes to record an engagement for its own internal purposes (for example, training archives), this must be agreed with us in writing in advance and is subject to the licence and restrictions in our Recording, Confidentiality & AI Use Policy.

15. General Provisions

15.1 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or removed if it cannot be, without affecting the validity of the remaining provisions.

15.2 Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the written quotation for the specific engagement and any documents referred to in it, set out the entire agreement between the parties for that engagement, and supersede any prior discussions, representations, or understandings, whether written or oral, except in the case of fraud.

15.3 Waiver. A failure or delay by either party to exercise a right under these Terms does not waive that right. No waiver is effective unless given in writing.

15.4 Notices. Notices under these Terms must be given in writing by email to courses@beckdrama.com (if to us) or to the Corporate Client’s main contact for the engagement (if to the Corporate Client), and are treated as received on the next working day.

15.5 Amendment. We may update these Terms from time to time for future engagements; the version in force at the date a quotation is accepted governs that engagement.

16. Dispute Resolution

16.1 Before starting formal proceedings, the party raising a dispute will first give the other written notice of the issue, headed “Pre-Action Dispute Notice”, setting out the nature of the dispute and the outcome sought, sent to courses@beckdrama.com (if to us). The parties will use reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute informally within 30 days of that notice before either party commences formal proceedings.

17. Class Action Waiver

17.1 Any dispute between us and a Corporate Client arising out of or in connection with an engagement will be resolved on an individual basis. Neither party will bring, or participate as a member of, any class, collective, or representative proceeding against the other in connection with these Terms.
