4.8 Special Offer terms
Where membership is redeemed against a Special Offer the conditions of that offer supersede the membership payment and contract terms set out in the above clauses.

5.1 Where to find the membership Fee
Information about the different Membership Levels and the associated Fee for each Membership Level can be found on your Confirmation.
5.2 Making payment
We accept payment via the Payment Providers and also directly from you, via bank transfer and credit card, as set out in more detail in your Confirmation, in cases where we issue you an invoice (an "Invoice"). In the absence of negligence on our part we will not be legally responsible to you for any loss that you may suffer if a third party gains unauthorised access to any information that you give us.

Any Fees are usually immediately payable online prior to the activation of your Membership, unless we notify you otherwise in writing.

5.5 Your membership automatically renews
You acknowledge that your Membership, regardless of which Membership Level you have purchased, will automatically renew on an annual basis. You will be notified in advance of any such automatic renewal.

No Special Offer that applied to your Membership when you initially purchased it will continue or be carried forward without our prior written agreement.
5.6 Renewals constitute a separate order for Services
Any Membership renewal in accordance with paragraph 5.5 will constitute a separate order for Services and shall be treated as a separate binding legal contract between you and DTTT subject to these Terms.
5.7 Prices
The Fee and any other charges are payable in the currency stated on the Website and/or in your Confirmation. If no currency is specified, all fees are quoted in UK Pounds Sterling and shall exclude any and all applicable taxes in any relevant jurisdiction, including but not limited to VAT and/or GST.
5.8 Changes to the Fee
DTTT reserves the right to change its payment policy and the Fee charged for the Services from time to time, with such changes becoming effective immediately.

7.2 All Membership benefits expire when your Membership ends
When your Membership ends or is terminated in accordance with these Terms, all Membership benefits will expire and your access to any such benefits and to your Account will cease with immediate effect. For the avoidance of doubt, no credit will be given for any unused portion of any Membership, for example where fewer Users are on a Multi-User Membership than the total number permitted under the Membership Level in question.
7.3 Multi-User Membership, leaving an organisation
In the event that you cease to be an employee of an organisation or employer which maintained a Multi-User Membership, the provisions of paragraphs 7.2 and 7.4 shall apply to you with immediate effect and you shall be treated in every respect as if your own Membership has come to an end.

8.4 Cancellation for Business Users
If you are acting as a Business User, then if you notify us of your wish to cancel the contract within 3 working days from the date of purchase (the "Business Cancellation Period") and you have not yet Activated your Membership, then DTTT shall refund you the Fee paid for the relevant Services, within a reasonable time of DTTT's receipt of your notice to cancel.

DTTT sometimes provides training through the Website and at other Venues. Users may access some Training online at no charge, however other Training and Workshops may attract a fee.

The arrangements for any Training and Workshops are subject to our confirmation of the booking, usually by email (the "Workshop Confirmation").
11.2 Bespoke Workshops
Where a Member wishes to arrange a bespoke Workshop, the Member and DTTT shall together agree on the Venue, acting reasonably and in good faith, although the final decision regarding which Venue is to be used for the Workshop in question shall be at DTTT's sole discretion.

11.3 Workshop hosts do not represent DTTT

Our terms and conditions for events (found on each event registration page) shall apply to any and all Events and, where relevant, Workshops (the "Event Terms"). By attending an Event and/or a Workshop, you agree to be bound by the Event Terms. The Event Terms are incorporated into these Terms as if set out in full here.
12.1 What an advisory engagement is
An advisory engagement is work we carry out for a client organisation under an agreed scope, which may include strategy and research support, workshops, facilitation, reviews, diagnostics and written deliverables. Advisory work is separate from Membership. Holding a Membership does not include advisory work and an advisory engagement does not by itself grant Membership.
12.2 The engagement agreement takes precedence
Every advisory engagement is governed by a separate written engagement agreement, proposal or statement of work signed by both parties, which records the scope, the term, the commercial basis and any client-specific conditions. Where that agreement and these Terms differ, the engagement agreement prevails for the work it covers. These Terms continue to apply to your use of the Website and the Services.
12.3 How advisory time is drawn down
Where an engagement is structured as a pool of credits, the engagement agreement sets out the size of the pool, the activities that draw against it and the rate at which each activity is counted. We keep a record of the work carried out and the amount drawn down, which is available to the client on request and reported at agreed intervals.
12.4 Term and expiry
Credits are valid for the term stated in the engagement agreement and expire at the end of it. Unused credits do not carry forward into a new term and are not refundable, unless the engagement agreement says otherwise or we agree otherwise in writing.
12.5 Rescheduling and cancelling sessions
A scheduled session, workshop or delivery date may be moved by either party by giving reasonable notice in writing. Where a session is cancelled or moved at short notice, the preparation already carried out may be drawn down against the engagement. The notice periods that apply to a given engagement are set out in its engagement agreement.
12.6 Ownership of deliverables
On payment in full, the client owns the deliverables produced specifically for them under the engagement. We retain ownership of our own frameworks, methods, models, templates and pre-existing materials used to produce those deliverables and we grant the client a non-exclusive licence to use them internally as part of the deliverables. We may describe the engagement in general terms in our own work and may only name the client or publish its outcomes with the client's prior written consent.
12.7 Confidentiality
Each party shall keep confidential the non-public information it receives from the other during an engagement and shall use it only for the purposes of that engagement. This obligation does not apply to information that is already public, that is received lawfully from a third party or that must be disclosed by law. Personal data shared during an engagement is handled in accordance with our privacy policy.
13.1 Verification and checks
We may verify your residential address and other personal details which you provide to us when you register to use the Website and the Services. All personal information provided by you to us is handled by us in accordance with our privacy policy.
13.2 You authorise us to make inquiries about you
By accepting these Terms and using the Website and the Services, you authorise us to make any inquiries which we may consider necessary to validate the information which you provide to us. This may be done directly, for example by us asking you for additional information or requiring you to take steps to confirm ownership of your email address, or indirectly, for example by verifying your information against third party databases or through other sources.
13.3 How we may use your personal information
We will only use your personal information in accordance with our privacy policy.
14.1 Whether you are a Consumer or a Business User
We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors and for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
14.2 If you are a Business User
We exclude all implied conditions, warranties, representations or other terms that may apply to the Website or any content on it and to the Services. We will not be liable to you for any loss or damage, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, even if foreseeable, arising under or in connection with:
In particular we shall not be liable for:
14.3 If you are a Consumer, our liability
You agree not to use our site for any commercial or business purposes and we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
14.4 If you are a Consumer, we are responsible for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us
If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
14.5 If you are a Consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected
These Terms are not intended to and do not change or exclude any statutory consumer rights that cannot be lawfully changed or excluded.
14.6 Misuse of the site
DTTT shall not be responsible or liable in any way for any damage caused by any misuse of the Website and/or the Services by you or any third party, or caused by any service.

Version history
2.0 · 8 September 2026
Restructured into fifteen numbered sections with a contents list, a plain-English summary and a stable anchor on every clause. Headings moved to sentence case.
Section 7 was split. Suspension and termination by us is now section 7 and cancellation and refunds by you is section 8. Advisory engagements are covered for the first time, in section 12.
Drafting errors in the previous version were corrected: the availability clause, which repeated the payment clause word for word, has been rewritten; unclosed brackets and missing words were fixed; the duplicated definition of Materials was removed; cross-references were repointed to the renumbered sections; the members' licence in clause 10.3 no longer grants and withdraws the same permission; and the VAT number now matches our VAT certificate.
