Deft Mentoring Academy is open to boys and girls between the ages of 3 and 12. The participant must be at least 3 years of age or no older than 12 years of age on the last day of the Deft Mentoring Academy program that they are attending.

Deft Mentoring Academy is covered by public liability insurance but not for personal accidents.

Deft Mentoring Academy will not permit any player to participate in the Deft Mentoring Academy Program without a medical consent form completed by their parent(s) or guardian(s). By signing up for the program, you give your permission to allow your child to be given medical treatment either by way of first aid by a suitably qualified person or by a doctor. You also consent to your child being taken to a doctor or hospital in case of an emergency. Deft Mentoring Academy reserves the right to refuse an applicant based on the information provided in the medical consent form. If there is any change to the medical information you provided on your application form, you must inform us immediately.

Deft Mentoring Academy is staffed by accredited coaches who will implement the highest safety measures. Deft Mentoring Academy will not be held responsible for damages, injuries, or loss of possessions. We strongly recommend that all valuables be left at home.

Participants must follow the instructions of the coaching staff in charge. Misbehavior or bullying may result in the participant being expelled from the Deft Mentoring Academy, and any fees will not be refunded. In the interest of safety, participants are not permitted to leave Deft Mentoring Academy during coaching sessions without the written consent of a parent or guardian. If a player is expelled from a program, their parent or guardian will be contacted immediately, and appropriate arrangements for the player’s collection will be made should the participant not have parental consent to travel to and from the venue.

The Head Coach at Deft Mentoring Academy is responsible for all activities for the duration of the call at their local venue. The head coach in charge will manage all coaching activities during the academy period at his or her venue.

All participants in the Deft Mentoring Academy Program may be used in photographic or video material for promotional purposes by the Academy. If the participating player is under a court order, the parent or guardian must advise Deft Mentoring Academy of this in writing before the commencement of the program. If any parent/guardian does not want their child to be photographed or videoed for promotional purposes, the parent or guardian must advise this in writing to the Deft Mentoring Academy Program (info@deftmentoringacademy.com) at least 5 days before the commencement of the Deft Mentoring Academy program.

Deft Mentoring Academy shall not be held accountable should the Deft Mentoring Academy program activities be suspended or cancelled due to adverse weather. In cases where the weather has affected the condition of the playing surface or is deemed so bad that coaching activities have to be suspended, and if the conditions show no signs of improving, Deft Mentoring Academy will contact the parent or guardian to advise them of the suspension of coaching activities if necessary. It will then be the responsibility of the parent or guardian to make arrangements to collect their child immediately.

These terms and conditions apply to all bookings of a place(s) on Deft Mentoring Academy programs made available to you. Please read these terms and conditions carefully before booking any program. Please note that, by booking a place on a program, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

When you book a place on our program, a contract between us and you (the “Contract”) will be formed when we accept your booking. A copy of the terms and conditions of your booking will be sent to you via email.

Please note that places on our programs are subject to availability. Your preferred venue may not be available, in which case you will be notified of places at an alternative venue if one is available. No payment will be taken for a booking until we accept your booking.

Notice of a confirmed program booking will be sent to you by email where possible (or by post) as soon as details of your payment have been processed and entered into our system.

The price of our membership plans will be as set out on the online form through which you book (the “Booking Form”) or as communicated to you by email.

These prices include VAT, which will be added to the total amount due if applicable. Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect bookings for which you have already paid.

It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, the membership plan fee on the booking form may be incorrectly priced. Where a membership plan’s correct price is less than the stated price on the booking form, you will be charged the lower amount. If a membership plan’s correct price is higher than the price stated on the booking form, we reserve the right to reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

Payment for bookings can only be made via direct debit. We retain the right to vary the acceptable methods of payment without notice from time to time.

We treat as a priority the safety and well-being of all children attending Deft Mentoring Academy programs. We reserve the right to remove for a session or season any person who is found to be engaged in offensive activity, the bullying of others, disruptive behavior, or for any other reason where we consider a person’s behaviour is detrimental to the interests or safety of the persons attending a class. If you are removed from a session or season for any of these reasons, you will not be refunded any fees already paid by you in connection with that session or season.

We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule a session at any time by sending you a notice to that effect. In circumstances where such cancellation or rescheduling takes place less than 48 hours before the scheduled date, we will contact you by text. If you do not wish to attend the session on the rescheduled date offered or transfer your booking to another available venue, you shall not be entitled to receive a full refund.

A detailed copy of our refund policy will be sent to you in your confirmation email when you make a booking.

These include but are not limited to, site or building blockades, strikes, riots, civil disruption, war, terrorist acts, inclement weather, epidemics, specific work interruptions, delay in transportation, earthquake, fire, storm, flood, or water damage, delay in or cancellation of the delivery of our services, or governmental, legal, or regulatory restrictions.

Performance under any contract is deemed to be suspended for the period that the force majeure continues, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period.

No waiver by us of any of these terms and conditions shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you by notice in writing.

If any of these terms and conditions or any other provisions of a contract are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition, or provision will, to that extent, be severed from the remaining terms, conditions, and provisions, which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
