Terms and Conditions
The Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) set out below, together with our privacy policy, constitute the legal agreement between you and Causal Thinking Ltd (“we”, “us”, and “our”, trading as Causal Training) in regard to the provision of the Introduction to Causal Inference Course.
Personal data
Your personal data can be processed by us on the legal bases and for the purposes set out in our Privacy Policy
Booking, registration, and payment
You must complete the registration form and pay the appropriate course booking fee to secure a place on the course. Our standard fee is £1250+VAT (£1500 including VAT), but a limited number of places will be available for the reduced fee of £950+VAT (£1140 including VAT) to students (including PhD students) at a higher education institution. Proof of student status may be required. We reserve the right to refuse booking for any reason, including at the reduced rate if we are not satisfied with your status as a student.
After completing the registration form, you will receive an invoice for payment. After receiving the invoice, you will have 30 days to arrange the payment. If payment is not received within 30 days then your reservation may be cancelled and you may lose the chance to attend.
Free place Scheme
A very small number of free place bursaries will be made available to support those who do not have funding to attend the course. These will be allocated via a competitive application process, with priority given to those with the greatest need to attend and a demonstrable lack of available funding options. The free place bursary includes free registration plus up to £750 towards necessary travel and accommodation.
cancellation
If you paid for the course and are no longer to attend, then you may request a cancellation by email. Refunds are offered according to the following policy:
- 60+ days until the event – 100% refund
- Less than 60 days until the event – 0% refund
If you are not longer able to attend, but can arrange for someone to attend in your place, we will process this free of charge regardless of the notice period.
Pre-requisites
All delegates are expected to have a working knowledge of 1) linear regression modelling and 2) the R statistical software environment.
Required hardware and software
Bringing a laptop is required to properly participate in the workshop activities. Many of the activities will be delivered as R notebooks. Delegates should therefore have working installations of R and R Studio on their laptop.
Technical support
We are unable to offer technical support to delegates experiencing problems with their computer or R software installation.
changes to the team and content
We will aim to inform your of changes to the team or proposed content with the maximum possible notice. However, we reserve the right to make last minute changes without notice due to reasons beyond our control (such as illness).
Cancellation of course due to force majeure
We reserve the right to cancel a course due to major unforeseeable forces outside our control. In such an event, we will reimburse in full any fees paid, but our liability will be limited to the value of the course fees paid.
Intellectual property rights
We retain the intellectual property rights for all the materials created by us for the course. We encourage you to use the materials for your ongoing personal education, but they should not be shared publicly, either in whole or part, without permission and attribution, this includes uploading to large language models and agentic AI systems. Violation of these conditions is a breach of copyright and we reserve all legal rights for damages.
