The Parent, Carer or Grownup are responsible for informing us of any special medical conditions at the point of booking. This includes any additional needs and any other condition that may be significant in the coach's ability to conduct a class without disruption.
The Parent, Carer or grownup must not attend the class whilst suffering from any serious illness or attend whilst the participant suffers from a serious illness unless pre-agreed in writing.

All participants, including Ballerz, coaches, officials, and spectators, are responsible for adhering to the safety guidelines outlined. Participants should promptly report hazards or unsafe practices to the lead coach or Young Ballerz Basketball.

Parent/Carer/Grownup rules
Customers must inform the Coach of any changes to personal health and well-being or an injury that may affect their or their Ballerz participation in the planned activity. All Children will be encouraged to 'free play' with the equipment to familiarise themselves before the class starts. The accompanying adult is responsible for the child the entire time they are with us and must stay on site. Suitable sportswear is required, including comfortable trainers, shorts/joggers and a top. Prams, bags and other obstructions must be kept away from the edge of the Basketball court to avoid any trip hazards. Children must bring a suitable water bottle to classes to hydrate throughout. If a child becomes disruptive, the coach may ask them to take a 'time out' with their adult to allow the class to continue disruption-free.
The Parent, Carer or Grownup agrees that any claim against Young Ballerz Basketball will be made in writing within 14 days of the incident. Failure to report in writing within this time will negate/void any such claim. The notification will then be forwarded to our insurers. The claim cannot be made directly against the directors of the business. To this end, the maximum aggregate liability for Young Ballerz will not exceed the total fee paid to [Young Ballerz] by the Parent, Carer or Grownup when entering the Contract.

We will only cancel the contract if the Event Outside Our Control continues for longer than 4 weeks in accordance with Our cancellation rights in clause 13.
If we must cancel an order for services before the services start:
we may have to cancel an order before the start date for the services due to an Event Outside Our Control or the unavailability of key personnel or key materials, without which we cannot provide the services. We will promptly contact you if this happens.
If we have to cancel an order under clause 13a) (i) and you have made any payment in advance for services that have not been provided, we will refund these amounts to you.
Where we have already started work on your order for services by the time we have to cancel under clause 13a) (i), we will not charge you anything, and you will not have to pay us.
Once we have begun to provide the services to you, we may cancel the contract at any time by providing you with at least 30 calendar days’ notice in writing. If you have paid in advance for services not provided, we will refund these amounts.
We may cancel the contract for services at any time with immediate effect by giving you written notice if:
you do not pay us when you are supposed to when entering into the Contract; or
you break the Contract in any other material way, and you do not correct or fix the situation within 14 days of us asking you to in writing.
Any notice or other communication given to a party under or in connection with the Contract shall be in writing, addressed to that party at its registered office (if it is a company) or its principal place of business (in any other case) or such other address as that party may have specified to the other party in writing when entering into the Contract or to such other address as is notified by one party to the other from time to time and shall be delivered personally, sent by pre-paid first-class post or other next working day delivery service, commercial courier, fax or e-mail.

If we agree in writing, you may only transfer your rights or obligations under these terms to another person.
The Contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides they are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, which will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
These terms are governed by English law. You and we both agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. However, if you are a resident of Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland. If you are a resident of Scotland, you may also bring proceedings in Scotland.
