TERMS OF CONTRACT

 

When we write to you accepting a booking for a place at the Camp, there will be an agreement between: - New Life Camp ('We' or 'us'), and the Member ('you'), and the parent or guardian of the Member signing the form for the benefit of the Member (your parent or guardian'), as follows:

OUR OBLIGATIONS

 

•  We will provide full board, accommodation and outings at the place, for the period and at the price set out in our brochure and on our website for the Camp in which you have been accepted ('the Camp'), unless we told you before we accepted your booking that there would be changes. (In the event that there is any differ­ence between statements made in our main brochure and on our central website, the statements made on our central web­site at www.newlifecamp.org.uk will apply and any other statement shall be disregarded.) The Camp starts with the lunch on the day on which the Camp begins, and ends with breakfast on the day on which the Camp ends.

 

•  We agree to provide the activities described in the Camp brochure, unless we told you before we accepted your booking that there would be changes. There is, however, no guarantee that every member of a camp will be able to do all the activities described.

 

•  We may cancel the Camp if:­

 

•  the minimum number of members required for the camp to take place have not booked a place on the camp 10 weeks before it is due to begin, provided that we have told you of such cancellation not less than 8 weeks before the camp is due to begin;

 

or

 

•  unusual and unforeseen circumstances arise which are beyond our control.

 

In the event of such cancellation, we agree to return to you the deposit and any other part of the Camp price already paid.

 

•  We undertake that the Leaders of the Camp named in the Programme ('the Leaders') and the other voluntary work­ers at the Camp will exercise reasonable care in looking after you during the Camp.

 

•  Subject to conditions 2, 3,11 and 17, we will be liable to you or your parent or guardian for any damage caused to you or your parent or guardian by any failure to perform this Agreement or the improper performance of this Agreement unless the failure or the improper performance is due neither to our fault nor to a fault of the Leaders or other voluntary workers nor to the fault of a supplier of services engaged by us or the leaders because (a) the failures which occur in the performance of the Agreement are attributable to you or your parent or guardian, or (b) such failures are attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the services contracted for, and are unforeseeable or unavoidable, or (c) such failures are due to (i) unusual and unforeseeable circum­stances beyond the control of us or the Leaders, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised, or (ii) an event which neither we nor the Leaders nor a supplier of services engaged by us or the Leaders, even with all due care, could foresee or forestall. Subject to this, neither we, nor our agents and subcontractors, nor the Leaders or other voluntary workers shall be liable to compensate you and/or your parent or guardian in respect of any acts or omissions relating to the performance of this Agreement.

 

YOUR OBLIGATIONS

 

•  You, or your parent or guardian, agree to pay to us the balance of the price of the Camp not less than 8 weeks before the Camp is due to begin. Payment should be made by cheque, made out to 'New Life Camp'. The balance is made up of the total price of the Camp stated in the Brochure less the initial deposit sent with the booking form. This balance shall be sent to the Leaders, unless other directions for payment are given by or on behalf of the Leaders. In the event of non-payment by the due date, the Leaders may cancel this Agreement forthwith.

 

•  You may cancel your place at the Camp by notifying the Leaders or their nominee in writing at any time before the balance of the price of the Camp is due. In the event of such cancellation, the initial deposit will be forfeited. If you wish to cancel your place at the Camp on or after the date when the balance of the price of the Camp is due, you and your parent or guardian will owe us 50% of full fees if less than 6 weeks notice in writing is given, and 75% of full fees if less than 3 weeks notice in writing is given. If you cancel on or after the start date of the Camp, you will owe us the full fees.

 

•  If prior to the commencement of the Camp we become aware of any fact or matter that leads us to believe that your presence at the Camp will or may be incompatible with the running of the Camp or the well-being of any other person or persons who will be present at the Camp we in our absolute discretion may terminate this Agreement and you will not be able to attend the Camp. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Condition we will return to you the deposit and any other part of the Camp price already paid.

 

•  During the Camp, you and your parent or guardian agree to co-operate with the Leaders and any other person having authority at the Camp. In the event of you causing injury to any other person or damage to any property or being wilfully disobedient at any time during the Camp or if the Leaders have any reason to believe that your continued presence at the Camp is or may be incompatible with the running of the Camp or the well-being of any other person or persons present at the Camp, the Leaders (or any person having authority under them) may exercise such reasonable discipline as is considered by them to be appropriate, and/or we and/or the Leaders may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect. In the event of this Agreement being terminated under this Condition, your parent or guardian shall, on being told of the termination, at their own expense collect you from the Camp forthwith, or make such arrangements for your collection as are necessary to remove you from the Camp site.

 

•  If, while you are at the Camp, you believe that we have failed to comply with the terms of this Agreement, you or your parent or guardian should inform the Leaders in writing at the earliest opportunity that you have to do so. You or your parent or guardian should also inform us of such failure in writing at the above address as soon as you can and at the latest within 7 days after you return from the Camp.

 

•  If you or your parent or guardian suffer loss or damage (other than personal injury) for which compensation is payable by reason of the non-performance or improper performance of this Agreement, the amount of such compensation shall be limited to the price of the Camp.

 

•  Please note that we use photographs taken during Camps in our publicity and marketing materials (which include print brochures and websites). In accepting this con­tract, you agree that we may publish any photograph of you provided to us for inclusion in such materials.

 

IMMUNITY OF LEADERS AND VOLUNTARY WORKERS

You agree that the Leaders and other voluntary workers may enforce for their own benefit the final sentence of condi­tion 5 and of condition 11 and that section 1 of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 applies to con­fer such benefit on the leaders and other voluntary workers.

 

INSURANCE

A Limited amount of insurance cover is included in the price of the Camp, but please make sure that personal items are covered by your own insurance. Cancellation or medical insurance is not included in Camp prices, so if you want this cover you will need to arrange your own.

 

CANCELLATION

If you want to cancel your place on a Camp before final fees are due, you will lose your deposit. If you cancel on/or after the date when the balance is due you will owe us a proportion of fees (see paragraphs 3 and 7 of the Terms of Contract). If at the time of cancellation you have already paid more than you need to, we will refund the balance.
