This agreement
This agreement is between us, AccessEA, and you, as the person who made the booking. The booking conditions outlined begin after you have made a payment. You are responsible for making sure that anyone else involved in this booking is made aware of, and accepts, the booking conditions.

Payments, Child Care Vouchers and tax-free childcare payments
We don’t add on an extra charge for using credit/debit cards and we do not save card details for future use. Unfortunately, we cannot accept childcare vouchers or tax-free childcare payments at this time.

Confirmation of your booking
The confirmation sent to you details what you have booked. Please check that it is all as you expect as soon as you can and verify that the dates you have booked, the number of people booked on the camp and the details you’ve supplied are all correct. Responsibility for all booking details lies with you (or the person who made the booking).

As you’re booking a service with specific dates, your rights as a consumer are a little different. The 14-day cooling off period does not apply, however if your confirmation is not what you expected please tell us within five working days. We’ll change it if we can, and if there are spaces left on camps, or refund you if we can’t. After five working days our normal cancellation and booking amendment terms will apply (They are detailed in the next section Changing or cancelling your booking).

Changing or cancelling your booking
These conditions apply from five working days after your booking. For conditions before this, check out the previous section (Confirmation of your booking).

If you need to change your booking, please get in touch (info@accessea.co.uk or 0131 624 4900. We will try to make the changes you’ve asked for subject to camp availability.

If you cancel within 48 hours of the camp starting, you will not receive a refund or any credits.

New attendee exception: If it is your child's first visit to an AccessEA camp and they do not settle after the second full day of camp, or if you don't want to try them again after the first day, we can offer you our Money Back Guarantee. All you need to do is call us by the end of their second day and we will refund your payment in full.

AccessEA changes or cancellation
If we have to cancel due to county or school health orders or mandates, you will receive a 100% refund of your original payment (using your original payment method) or a 100% credit that can be used until August 31, 2024 on any AccessEA offerings.

Our camps are small to ensure quality of coaching, and many fill up quickly. Last-minute cancellations prevent other children from enjoying our camps. That’s why we have a strict cancellation policy. Thank you for your understanding.

Health and Safety
So that we can keep everyone safe and sound, and follow health and safety law and guidance, children with certain medical or physical conditions or those who cannot demonstrate sufficient competence may not be allowed to participate in some activities. In such cases we will always provide alternative activities.

Your child’s information
When you book, you will be asked to fill in permission forms giving us important information about your child. The information you provide must be accurate: it’s essential we have a complete picture of your child’s physical and medical needs and information about any support they might need with their behaviour. We need an accurate date of birth too, along with the year group they are in (or just completed at the time of camp) to judge what activities they can safely take part in.

If we don’t have accurate information, your child might be excluded from certain activities. In some circumstances we may have to cancel your booking. If this is because of inaccurate information, you will not receive a refund.

We cannot accept children onto camp if their Permission form is not completed and handed in before the camp starts. All information given will be treated in complete confidence.

Care of your child
The ratio of staff to children varies between activities, age groups and camps. We always make sure there are enough staff to look after the children and adjust according to age. However we do not offer any higher staff to child ratio than 1:15, irrespective of any child’s specific needs.

AccessEA staff have a duty to respond if they suspect a child may be suffering from or makes a disclosure about abuse. In this event staff will contact the relevant local authority and act on their advice.

Liability and personal property
AccessEA does not accept liability for personal injury or the death of any person unless directly caused by the proven negligence of the company or its servants. In this event our liability insurance provides cover of up to £10 million.

AccessEA will not take responsibility for the loss or damage of any items of personal property brought onto the camp. Our Parent Information Guide contains further information about what should/not be brought to camp (including mobile phones) and details our Lost Property Policy.

Exclusions and late collection
AccessEA reserves the right to exclude any child for any reason at its absolute discretion, including persistent late collection; we are only structured to have children on site until 18.00. No refund will be made for days missed and no compensation will be made for any other costs or losses incurred as a result. Please note; where children are collected after 18.00 we will automatically apply a ‘late’ fee of £5 per 15 minutes to your account.

Programme and activities
From time to time we may need to amend our activities, services, dates and venues for reasons within or outside our control. In these circumstances, parents may choose to transfer to an alternative camp (if spaces are available) or alternative date as advertised at that time by AccessEA, subject to other conditions contained herein.

Under no circumstances will there be a refund or compensation. Please note that not all activities appear on the timetable daily, therefore if you are booking for 1/2 days we cannot guarantee specific activities will take place within your booked time slot. Please note there may also be changes in the timetable due to COVID-19 restrictions in place at the time of camp.

Surcharge
AccessEA reserves the right to surcharge published prices if there is an increase in the rate of VAT above 20% prior to the commencement of the camp.

Policies and procedures
Copies of AccessEA’s policies and procedures are held at camp and at AccessEA offices and are available on request.

Complaints
We want your child to have a good time at our camps and to feel safe and well looked after. We pride ourselves on delivering fun, educational activities. However, if you or your child are not entirely satisfied with the service we provide, then we want to be the first to know. If there’s a problem while your child is still at the camp we can almost always resolve it. We cannot change the situation after the event, so please talk to the Camp Manager promptly if you have any concerns or complaints.

If you cannot resolve the issue with the Camp Manager, please contact the AccessEA team on 0131624 4919. If the problem is still not resolved, please write to us at 42 Henderson Row, Edinburgh EH3 5BL within ten days of your child’s last day with us.

You can be assured that your complaint will be taken very seriously. Refunds and compensation will only be made if AccessEA is proven to have been in breach of these booking conditions, and it is proven further that they were not capable of remedying that breach resulting in the child being withdrawn from the camp. Please note: verbal abuse of office or camp staff will not be tolerated and bookings cancelled with immediate effect.

Data protection
AccessEA acts as a Data Controller for the purposes of the GDPR. To process your booking, we need to collect personal details about you and all the children on your booking. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have permission to pass on these details.

Additionally, we’d like to hold and use some of your details for future marketing purposes (full details of how we may use your data are available in our Privacy Policy); we’ll ask for your consent to this when you register your details with us.

Photography / video footage
Each of our camps has a private Facebook page for use by the parents and carers of children booked in with us. Where possible, we will post photos to this and other social media platforms for you to view, but please note we cannot guarantee your child will appear on these. We might also take photographs and video footage at camp to use for training and promotional purposes.

If you do not want photographs or video footage to be taken of your child at camp, please let us know on the camp Child permission form you fill in prior to camp.

Details contained within these booking conditions were published in good faith in June 2021 for our 2021 camps.
