TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ENROLMENT IN A CHESS ACADEMY PROGRAM
“Chess Academy” is the provider of the “Service”.
“I” shall be deemed to refer to the Parent/Guardian of a child enrolled in the “Service”
The “Service” is any coaching program, holiday program, workshop, tournament or event provided by Chess Academy.
I approve of my child’s involvement in the Chess Academy Service, and have read all conditions in this document.
I give permission for my child to participate in activities organised for the days/classes my child will be attending.
I acknowledge that the employees or contractors of Chess Academy will be responsible for the supervision and care of my child for the duration of each session my child attends and is enrolled in. If the session takes place within a school and is not a school run event, Chess Academy will be responsible for my child only during the specified duration of the Service or until supervision is handed over to the adult nominated as responsible for the supervision of the child (after school hours activities). I understand that a late pick-up charge of up to $100 per 15 minutes or part thereof, per child, may apply at the discretion of Chess Academy after the Service finishing time if my child is not picked-up and I have not granted permission to release my child after the session ends, and I agree to pay such fees.
I authorise staff, in the event of accident or illness, to obtain all necessary medical assistance and treatment for my child and agree to meet any expenses attached to such treatment. I acknowledge that my child will not attend the Service if suffering from infectious or communicable disease as identified by the Department of Health.
I give permission for Chess Academy to capture photographic or video images of my child during the course of an event or class. I agree that all rights to these images, sounds or text will be the sole property of Chess Academy and make no claim over them. I give permission for any images captured to be used in school and parent reporting, or published on the Chess Academy website or Chess Academy social media pages. (You may opt out of the above clause by notifying Chess Academy in writing/email.)
I understand that if my child continuously demonstrates inappropriate behavior after guidance procedures have been followed, I will be notified and my child may be removed or suspended for a period to be determined or excluded permanently from the Service. No refund will be issued for exclusion due to inappropriate behavior.
All enrollment/registration fees must be paid in advance by EFT or Credit Card.
I understand that Chess Academy may remove my child from the Service if I do not make payment by the due date.
No refunds will be provided once a Service has commenced. For after-school classes, Program duration is generally defined as a School Term of 6 to 8 weeks.
I understand that a refund, less a $20.00 administration fee and any merchant or bank fees, will be provided if a booking or enrollment cancellation request is received in writing (by email) 7-days prior to the commencement of the Service or Program and no refunds will be provided for bookings or enrollments cancelled with less than 7-days notice.
I understand that there are minimum numbers required for a Service to proceed. Chess Academy reserves the right to cancel a Service if a minimum number of enrollments is not met.
In the event of Chess Academy cancelling a Service, enrollment fees will be refunded on a pro-rata basis considering the number of sessions which have been delivered.
I agree to pay for all of the days my child is successfully enrolled in, regardless of whether my child actually attends.
Except as otherwise expressly required by law, Chess Academy does not accept any liability for personal injury, property damage or loss sustained by any participant as a result of his or her participation in the Service due to any cause whatsoever unless caused by the proven negligence of Chess Academy, its contractors or employees.
Chess Academy reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions.
