Terms and Conditions 2008
Conditions
- Accuracy of Details
We accept bookings on the understanding that the booker provides accurate details. At any time during the course we may request to see official documentation (eg. a passport) to confirm a child's age and identity. If proof cannot be provided, or if we discover that significantly inaccurate details have been provided at the time of booking, we reserve the right to remove the child from the course without refund of fees.
- The deposit
If a place is available we will request a deposit of £200 to secure the booking. This must be paid within 10 days of making the booking: if not, the place will automatically become available to other students. The deposit is refundable (minus a 15% administration charge) only for certified illness or injury or on production of a valid visa refusal letter.
- The balance
The balance of fees is payable 6 weeks before the child attends. If a booking is made less than 6 weeks before attending, the deposit and balance will be payable within 10 days. If any fees remains unpaid 14 days or more after the payment date on the invoice the place will be cancelled.
- Cancellation & withdrawal
If a child fails to attend or is withdrawn 30 days or less before a course begins or if a child is withdrawn during a course there will be no refund of fees except for valid insurance claims (see http://www.countryschool.com/fees.htm#insurance )
- Expulsion
We reserve the right to repatriate a child at any time at the parent / guardian’s expense if we consider the child’s behaviour to be detrimental to the general welfare of the school, without refund of fees.
- Changes to the programme
Programme details are published in good faith. We reserve the right to make changes to any aspect of the course if necessary.
