These terms and conditions apply to all bookings of a place(s) on all Brighton & Hove Albion Foundation (the Foundation) courses or events made by you (each a "course"). Please read these terms and conditions carefully before booking any course. Please note that, by booking a place on a course, you agree to be bound by:
To book a place on a course, you must be:
(a) Legally capable of entering into binding contracts and at least 18 years old; or
(b) A parent or guardian booking on behalf of a child.
You can book for any number of courses considering the participant meets the age requirements for those courses.
All bookings are taken on a first come first served basis and full payment is required with booking, unless otherwise stated. Once your booking is complete, a confirmation page will load on your screen informing you that you have a space on the course. This page is printable. You will receive your booking confirmation by email, please ensure you provide a valid email address when booking.
If the confirmation screen does not load or you do not receive your confirmation email, please contact us immediately to confirm that your booking has been received. If you do not receive confirmation it is unlikely that your booking has been successful so please contact us to avoid disappointment.
The Foundation reserves the right to stop accepting bookings at any time.
Information relating to a booking will not be disclosed to anyone other than the adult who has directly made the booking. Where the course is held in conjunction with a third party, for example a school, we may share information in accordance with our privacy policy.
Parents and guardians will only be permitted to enter the course venue to register their child at the start of the course and to collect their child at the end of the course. Parents may be able to stay and watch but this will be at the discretion of the Foundation and should be discussed with the course leader.
We do not issue refunds unless we cancel a course (please see Cancellations). In the event of an injury where three or more sessions are missed or going to be missed, we will issue you with a Credit Note which can be redeemed against any future the Foundation course for up to a period of 12 months. A medical certificate may be required and you will need to contact us prior to or during the course to inform us. Failure to do so may result in a Credit Note not being issued. We do not issue credit notes for sessions missed due to illness (including Covid) unless the period of absence is three or more sessions.
All courses, activities and venues are subject to change according to weather, programming and a satisfactory level of numbers. We may cancel any courses and/or change any information given, should this be necessary for any reason. If we have to cancel a course (or individual sessions within a course) we will offer an alternative course (if available and suitable), provide a session online or a refund or Credit Note equal to the value of the cancelled sessions.
You must ensure that the participant is physically fit and able to participate in the sporting activities and accordingly, you accept all risks resulting from participation in the course.
It is imperative that you inform us of any medical conditions that may affect the participant whilst attending the course. We may require additional information depending on the medical information supplied to us by you before we can accept your booking.
It is imperative that you inform us of any medication that the participant child requires during the course of a session, there are guidelines for what we will and will not be able to administer which can be found HERE. A medication consent form is required for all medication and you can download it HERE.
In the event that the participant needs medical attention during any course then, subject to any written notice (which notice we must have received prior to the commencement of the relevant course) from a parent or guardian to the contrary, you agree to us arranging for any appropriate and necessary treatment.
We treat as a priority the safety and well-being of all children attending the Foundation courses. We reserve the right to remove from a course any person who is found to be engaged in offensive activity, the bullying of others, disruptive behaviour or for any other reason where we consider a person's behaviour is detrimental to the interests or safety of the persons attending a course. If you are removed from a course for any of these reasons, you will not be refunded any fees already paid by you in connection with that course.
Except in respect of death or personal injury resulting from any negligence of the Charity, Brighton & Hove Albion Foundation nor any of its officers, employees or agents shall be responsible for (whether in tort, contract or otherwise):

If you don't use an account regularly, we may classify it as inactive or dormant. A dormant or inactive account is one that hasn't been used for an extended period of time (typically 3 years). This is determined by when you last logged into the account.
If your account is inactive or dormant, we will notify you that we will delete the account and any records associated with the account. This means you will no longer be able to make transactions with that account and the account cannot be restored. However, if you wish to make transactions in the future you will be able to open a new account.
