7.4 Discovery Process

Upon purchase of any of our Services, you will be required to complete our dashboard-based discovery process. This process collects essential information about your requirements, objectives, and circumstances to enable us to deliver tailored consulting services. Your prompt and complete participation in the discovery process is essential for timely service delivery.

The discovery process serves as the commencement of work for purposes of cancellation rights (see Section 11).

7.5 No Guarantees of Outcomes

Our Services provide analysis, recommendations, and strategic guidance based on available information and professional judgement. We do not guarantee any specific outcomes, results, or returns from following our recommendations. Real estate markets are subject to numerous external factors beyond our control, and past performance or analysis does not guarantee future results.

7.6 Right to Decline or Terminate Service

7.6.1 Pre-Purchase Declination

Estate Sensei Limited reserves the right to decline service requests before purchase if:

  • The requested services fall outside our scope of expertise or geographic coverage
  • The objectives violate regulatory constraints or legal requirements
  • The request seeks services we do not provide (e.g., FCA-regulated financial advice, legal advice, tax advice, immigration advice)
  • We determine, in our reasonable judgement, that we cannot deliver the requested outcomes

If we decline a service request before you complete your purchase, no contract is formed and no payment will be processed.

7.6.2 Post-Purchase Declination or Termination

Estate Sensei Limited reserves the right to decline or terminate service delivery after purchase if we determine, during the discovery process or service delivery, that:

  • Unrealistic or Unachievable Objectives: The stated objectives are not achievable within the constraints of the African real estate market, applicable regulations, or reasonable timeframes. Examples include:
    • Requests for guaranteed investment returns or guaranteed property appreciation
    • Expectations that violate local property ownership laws or regulatory restrictions
    • Timelines that are impossible to meet due to regulatory or administrative requirements
    • Outcomes dependent on factors entirely beyond our control or expertise
  • Out-of-Scope Requests: The service request materially exceeds or differs from the deliverables specified in Section 7.1 or your selected tier (Base, Core, or Complete). Examples include:
    • Requests for services that require professional licences we do not hold (legal advice, tax planning, immigration applications)
    • Demands for services across more countries or properties than included in your tier
    • Scope expansion beyond the agreed deliverables without purchasing additional services
  • Regulatory or Legal Violations: The requested service would require us to violate UK law, African country regulations, or professional standards. Examples include:
    • Requests that would constitute unlicensed practice of law, accounting, or financial advice
    • Activities that would violate anti-money laundering (AML) regulations
    • Transactions that would breach sanctions or export control laws
  • Incomplete or False Information: You provide materially incomplete, inaccurate, or false information during the discovery process that prevents us from delivering accurate analysis or recommendations.
  • Bad Faith or Abusive Conduct: You engage in conduct that:
    • Violates Section 5 (Acceptable Use) of these Terms and Conditions
    • Constitutes harassment, abuse, or threats toward our employees or partners
    • Demonstrates an intent to misuse our services or deliverables for unlawful purposes
    • Involves fraudulent activity or misrepresentation

7.6.3 Notice and Explanation

If we decline or terminate service post-purchase, we will:

  • Provide written notice to you via email within three (3) business days of our decision
  • Explain the specific reason(s) for declination or termination
  • Outline the refund you are entitled to receive under Section 7.6.4 below

7.6.4 Refund Treatment for Post-Purchase Declination

Refunds for post-purchase service declination or termination are calculated based on the stage at which services are declined:

Stage 1: Before Discovery Process Completion

If we decline service before you have completed our discovery process (i.e., before any consulting work has commenced):

  • Refund: Full refund minus ten percent (10%) administrative fee
  • Rationale: Covers payment processing costs and initial administrative review
  • Example: Base service (£250) = £225 refund; Core service (£750) = £675 refund; Complete service (£2,500) = £2,250 refund

Stage 2: After Discovery Completion, Before Delivery of Interim Deliverables

If we decline service after the discovery process is complete but before delivery of any interim reports, analyses, or recommendations:

  • Refund: Fifty percent (50%) of fees paid
  • Rationale: Reflects resources committed to discovery process review, research scoping, and initial analysis
  • Example: Base service (£250) = £125 refund; Core service (£750) = £375 refund; Complete service (£2,500) = £1,250 refund

Stage 3: After Partial Delivery of Interim Deliverables

If we decline service after delivering partial work product (e.g., preliminary market analysis, initial consultation sessions):

  • Refund: Calculated on a pro-rata basis reflecting work completed and delivered
  • Calculation: (Total fee ÷ Total deliverables) × Remaining undelivered deliverables
  • Minimum refund: Twenty-five percent (25%) of fees paid
  • Example: If 60% of deliverables completed, 40% refunded; if 80% completed, remaining 20% refunded (subject to 25% minimum)

Stage 4: Exceptional Circumstances (Our Fault)

If we decline service due to our own operational failure, resource constraints, or inability to perform (not due to client-related issues):

  • Refund: Full refund of all fees paid, with no administrative fee deduction
  • Additional remedy: Goodwill credit of ten percent (10%) toward future services (optional, at our discretion)

7.6.5 Refund Exclusions

No refund will be provided if service is terminated due to:

  • Your violation of Section 5 (Acceptable Use)
  • Your provision of fraudulent, false, or materially misleading information
  • Your failure to respond to requests for information or clarification within fourteen (14) days
  • Your abusive, threatening, or harassing conduct toward Estate Sensei Limited staff or partners

In such cases, all fees paid are forfeited, and your access to our Site and Services will be terminated immediately under Section 6.3.

7.6.6 Refund Process

Refunds under this Section 7.6 are processed in accordance with Section 11.4 (Refund Process and Timing):

  • Contact us at connect@estatesensei.com with your declination notice reference
  • We will process approved refunds within fourteen (14) days
  • Refunds issued via the same payment method used for original purchase
  • Currency conversion and payment processing fees may apply (see Section 11.5)

7.6.7 No Obligation to Perform Unachievable Services

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • Estate Sensei Limited is not obligated to perform services that are unrealistic, unachievable, or outside our scope of expertise
  • Our assessment of whether objectives are achievable is made in our reasonable professional judgement based on market conditions, regulatory environments, and available information
  • Declination of service does not constitute a breach of contract where legitimate grounds exist under this Section 7.6
  • Our decision to decline service is final, but you may contact us to discuss the reasons and explore alternative service options

10.2 Cancellation Period

The cancellation period will expire fourteen (14) days from:

  • For Services: The day the contract is concluded (i.e., when you complete your purchase).
  • For Digital Products: The day the contract is concluded (i.e., when you complete your purchase).

10.3 How to Exercise Your Right to Cancel

To exercise your right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel by sending a clear statement to:

Estate Sensei Limited

20 Wenlock Road

London, N1 7GU

England

Email: connect@estatesensei.com

Phone: +44 07553166201

You may use the Cancellation Form provided at the end of these Terms and Conditions, but you are not required to do so.

To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

10.4 Waiver of Cancellation Rights

For Digital Products:

You expressly acknowledge and agree that when you purchase Digital Products and request immediate access to download or view the content, you are expressly requesting that we begin performance of the contract before the end of the fourteen (14) day cancellation period. By doing so, you acknowledge that you will lose your right to cancel the contract once the Digital Product has been fully downloaded or accessed.

At the time of purchase, you will be required to provide express consent to this waiver by ticking a box or clicking a button acknowledging:

"I expressly request immediate access to this digital content and acknowledge that I will lose my right to cancel once I access or download the content."

For Services:

You expressly acknowledge and agree that when you purchase Services and our discovery process commences (which constitutes the beginning of service performance), you are expressly requesting that we begin performance of the contract before the end of the fourteen (14) day cancellation period. By completing the discovery process, you acknowledge that you waive your statutory right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 once our work has commenced.

At the time of purchase, you will be required to provide express consent to this waiver by ticking a box or clicking a button acknowledging:

"I expressly request that consulting services begin immediately and acknowledge that I will lose my right to cancel once work commences following completion of the discovery process."

10.5 Effects of Cancellation If You Cancel Within the Cancellation Period

If you validly cancel your contract before the waiver conditions described in Section 10.4 apply, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen (14) days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise. You will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

If you requested the performance of Services to begin during the cancellation period and you subsequently cancel, you are required to pay us an amount which is in proportion to what has been performed until you communicated your decision to cancel. We will calculate this amount based on the total price of the Services and the extent of work completed. We will reimburse any amount you have paid above this proportionate payment.

10.6 Exceptions to the Right to Cancel

The right to cancel does not apply to:

  • Digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium if performance has begun with your prior express consent and acknowledgement that you will thereby lose your right to cancel.
  • Services which have been fully performed and for which performance began with your prior express consent and acknowledgement that you would lose your right to cancel once the contract had been fully performed.
  • Goods or services where the price is dependent on fluctuations in the financial market which we cannot control and which may occur within the cancellation period.

11. REFUNDS AND RETURNS

11.1 General Refund Policy

Our refund policy is designed to be fair to both you and Estate Sensei Limited. Refunds are handled differently depending on the type of product or service purchased, as set out below.

11.2 Refunds for Services

11.2.1 Refund Before Work Commences

If you request a refund before any work has commenced (i.e., before you have completed our discovery process), we will provide a full refund minus a ten percent (10%) administrative fee to cover payment processing costs and administrative overhead. For example:

  • Base Consulting Service (£250): Refund of £225
  • Core Consulting Service (£750): Refund of £675
  • Complete Consulting Service (£2,500): Refund of £2,250

To request a refund at this stage, you must contact us within fourteen (14) days of purchase.

11.2.2 Refund After Discovery Process but Before Delivery

Once you have completed our discovery process and consulting work has commenced (as evidenced by our team beginning research, analysis, or preparation of deliverables), you have expressly consented to waive your statutory fourteen (14) day cancellation right under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

At this stage, refunds are provided at our sole discretion and are typically limited to fifty percent (50%) of the fees paid, reflecting the work already performed and resources committed. Any refund provided will take into account:

  • The extent of work completed by our team.
  • Resources and time committed to your project.
  • The stage of completion of the agreed deliverables.

11.2.3 No Refund After Delivery of Final Deliverables

No refunds are available once final deliverables (reports, analyses, recommendations, or other work product) have been provided to you. At this stage, the service has been fully performed, and you have received the full value for which you contracted.

11.2.4 Satisfaction Guarantee

Whilst we do not provide refunds after delivery of final deliverables, we are committed to your satisfaction with our Services. If you are dissatisfied with the Services provided, we may, at our discretion, offer remedies including:

  • Clarification or additional explanation of recommendations.
  • Supplementary analysis or research on specific points.
  • Extension of advisory support beyond the agreed period.
  • Additional consultation time to address your concerns.

These satisfaction remedies are provided at our sole discretion and do not constitute an entitlement to a refund or re-performance of Services.

11.3 Refunds for Digital Products

11.3.1 No Refunds After Access or Download

Due to the nature of digital content, refunds for Digital Products are not available once you have accessed, downloaded, or streamed the content.

As set out in Section 10.4, when you purchase a Digital Product and request immediate access, you expressly consent to waive your statutory fourteen (14) day cancellation right. Once you have clicked the download link, opened the file, or accessed the content through your account, the Digital Product has been fully supplied, and no refund will be provided.

11.3.2 Refund Before Access

If you have purchased a Digital Product but have not yet accessed, downloaded, or viewed the content, you may request a full refund within fourteen (14) days of purchase.

To be eligible for a refund, you must not have:

  • Opened or viewed any files or content.
  • Accessed the Digital Product through your account dashboard.

11.3.3 Defective Digital Products

If a Digital Product is defective, corrupted, or materially different from the description provided at the time of purchase, you may be entitled to a refund or replacement regardless of whether you have accessed the content.

  • Details of the defect or discrepancy.
  • Evidence such as screenshots or error messages.
  • A description of how the Digital Product fails to match its description.

We will investigate your claim and, if substantiated, provide a full refund or a replacement Digital Product at our discretion.

Refunds will be issued using the same payment method you used for the original purchase. Please note that it may take additional time for your payment provider to process the refund and for the funds to appear in your account. We are not responsible for any delays caused by your payment provider.

11.5 Currency Conversion and Payment Processing Fees

All refunds are processed in British Pounds Sterling (£ GBP). If your original payment was made in a different currency, the refund amount may differ from the amount you originally paid due to currency exchange rate fluctuations. You are responsible for any currency conversion fees or charges imposed by your payment provider.

If you used a payment method that charged you fees (such as international transaction fees), we are not responsible for refunding those fees. You should contact your payment provider regarding the recovery of such fees.

11.6 Non-Refundable Circumstances

Refunds will not be provided in the following circumstances:

  • You have changed your mind about a purchase after receiving Services or accessing Digital Products.
  • You purchased the wrong product or service due to your own error, after having accessed or received the content.
  • You are dissatisfied with Services or Digital Products for subjective reasons not related to quality, accuracy, or material defects.

This limitation of liability applies to all claims, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, statute, or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Specifically, we will not be liable for:

  • Direct damages: Any direct loss or damage you suffer as a result of using our Services, Digital Products, or Site, except where such liability cannot be excluded by law.
  • Indirect or consequential damages: Any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of business opportunities, loss of data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Where liability cannot be excluded by law, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to your use of our Site, Services, or Digital Products will be limited to the amount you paid to us for the specific Service or Digital Product giving rise to the claim.

For example:

  • Death or personal injury caused by our negligence.
  • Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
  • Any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

If you are a consumer, you have certain legal rights which cannot be excluded or limited. These Terms and Conditions do not affect those statutory rights.

12.6 Market Conditions and External Factors

Real estate markets are subject to numerous external factors beyond our control, including but not limited to economic conditions, political instability, regulatory changes, currency fluctuations, natural disasters, pandemics, and social unrest. We are not liable for any losses, damages, or adverse outcomes arising from such external factors, even if our Services or Digital Products did not anticipate or account for such factors.

12.7 Basis of the Bargain

You acknowledge that the limitations of liability and disclaimers set out in this Section 12 are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between you and Estate Sensei Limited. We would not be able to provide Services and Digital Products at the current pricing without these limitations.

18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

18.1 Pre-Dispute Contact Requirement

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution process (including chargebacks, legal proceedings, or arbitration), you must:

  • Contact us at connect@estatesensei.com with a detailed description of your complaint.
  • Allow us fourteen (14) calendar days to investigate and respond to your complaint.
  • Engage in good faith discussions to resolve the matter informally.

Filing a payment dispute (chargeback) with your payment provider or initiating legal proceedings without first completing this pre-dispute contact requirement constitutes a material breach of these Terms and Conditions and may result in:

  • Suspension or termination of your account and access to Services and Digital Products.
  • Forfeiture of any refund rights that would otherwise apply under Section 11.
  • Recovery of our costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred in defending unjustified disputes.

18.2 Good Faith Negotiation

If our response to your complaint does not resolve the matter to your satisfaction, we agree to engage in good faith negotiation for an additional fourteen (14) calendar days before either party initiates formal dispute resolution.

18.3 Binding Arbitration (For Claims Exceeding £1,000)

For any claim, dispute, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions, our Site, or our Services or Digital Products where the amount in controversy exceeds £1,000 (or equivalent in any currency), you agree that such dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration rather than in court, subject to the following terms:

18.3.1 Arbitration Rules and Seat

  • Arbitration will be conducted under the LCIA Arbitration Rules (London Court of International Arbitration) in force at the time of commencement.
  • The seat of arbitration will be London, England.
  • The language of the arbitration will be English.
  • The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise.

18.3.2 Arbitrator Appointment and Authority

  • If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within fourteen (14) days of the arbitration notice, the arbitrator will be appointed by the LCIA Court.
  • The arbitrator will have authority to grant any relief that would be available in court under applicable law, including injunctive relief, specific performance, and declaratory relief.
  • The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding on both parties.

18.3.3 Enforcement of Arbitration Awards

  • Arbitration awards may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction under the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (1958).
  • This arbitration agreement is governed by the Arbitration Act 1996 (England and Wales).

18.3.4 Costs and Fees

  • Each party will bear its own legal fees and costs unless the arbitrator determines otherwise based on the merits of the case.
  • The arbitrator's fees and administrative costs of the LCIA will be split equally between the parties unless the arbitrator allocates costs differently based on the outcome.
  • For consumers (individuals purchasing for personal use), if you prevail in arbitration and the arbitrator awards you damages less than the amount we last offered to settle the claim, we will pay you the amount of the award or £1,000, whichever is greater, plus your reasonable legal fees.

18.3.5 Exceptions to Arbitration

The following disputes are not subject to arbitration and may be brought in the courts specified in Section 17.2:

  • Claims for injunctive relief to protect intellectual property rights (Section 4).
  • Claims for amounts of £1,000 or less (small claims).
  • Claims that can be brought in small claims court or equivalent tribunal in your jurisdiction.
  • Disputes relating to the validity or enforceability of this arbitration clause itself.

18.3.6 Class Action Waiver

YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES WILL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR CONSOLIDATED PROCEEDING. You agree to waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against Estate Sensei Limited.

If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver in this Section is void or unenforceable for any reason, or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above will be deemed null and void in their entirety, and the dispute will be resolved exclusively in the courts specified in Section 17.2.

18.3.7 Opt-Out Right for US-Based Consumers

If you are a consumer resident in the United States, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms and Conditions by sending written notice to:

Estate Sensei Limited

20 Wenlock Road

London, N1 7GU

England

Email: connect@estatesensei.com

Your opt-out notice must include your name, address, email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you opt out, all other terms of these Terms and Conditions will continue to apply, and disputes will be resolved in accordance with Section 17.2.

18.4 Small Claims and Low-Value Disputes (£1,000 or Less)

For disputes where the amount in controversy is £1,000 or less (or equivalent in any currency), either party may elect to:

  • Pursue the claim in small claims court or equivalent tribunal in the jurisdiction specified in Section 17.2, or
  • Resolve the matter through our internal complaint handling process outlined in Section 18.1.

18.5 Timeframe for Resolution

We will aim to:

  • Acknowledge receipt of your complaint within three (3) business days.
  • Provide a substantive response within fourteen (14) business days.

No waiver by Estate Sensei Limited of any term or condition set out in these Terms and Conditions will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions creates any partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, or fiduciary relationship between you and Estate Sensei Limited. You have no authority to bind Estate Sensei Limited or to make any representations or commitments on our behalf.

19.8 Third-Party Rights

A person who is not a party to these Terms and Conditions has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of these Terms and Conditions, but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from that Act.
