1. Bookings

Bookings are accepted on a first-come, first served basis and must be accompanied by full payment of the course fee. Any bookings received without payment will not be deemed valid until payment is received in full. We are unable to reserve places or accept telephone bookings. We require all places on Adur Centre programmes to be booked prior to the course commencing, to ensure correct staff to children ratios are met. Registration on the day may be accepted depending on the availability of places, but we cannot guarantee a place so please have alternative arrangements ready.

2. Payment

Adur Centre accepts the following forms of payment: selected childcare vouchers, cheque, postal order and credit or debit cards. Cash payment will only be accepted for on-the-day bookings. Adur Centre can accept payment by debit or credit card through our online booking system as well as by telephone. Adur Centre will not accept post-dated cheques.

Should it be necessary for Adur Centre to cancel a course, you will be offered a full refund or a place on the same or similar course at a later date.

Adur Centre does not issue cash refunds for any reason. A credit note may be issued in the event of injury or illness if three or more sessions/days are missed. A medical certificate may be required.

5. Returned payments

Payments returned by the bank are subject to bank charges. Any bank charges incurred by Adur Centre as a result of returned payments must be paid in full by the customer, in addition to the original booking fee. Adur Centre does not accept any liability for bank charges you may incur if a post-dated cheque is processed. Due to the high volume of payments received, the responsibility rests firmly with the customer to ensure all payments are valid at the time of booking.

Adur Centre reserves the right to exclude a child from the course where he/she fails to maintain the required standard. Such failure shall include, but not be limited to, racial, sexual, verbal or physical bullying of a fellow child or member of staff. Transportation of the child home will be the responsibility of the parent/guardian, and no refund or credit will be issued.

13. Lost property

Please ensure children do not bring valuable toys or belongings when attending Adur Centre courses. Adur Centre cannot accept liability for lost, stolen or damaged items. Please ensure clothing and other belongings are clearly labelled with the child's name to help us return unclaimed items. Lost property will be kept at the Adur Centre office for a period of four weeks after the end of the course. If items are still unclaimed after this period, Adur Centre will distribute them to local charities.
