3.       Changes to Booking Details

You may make changes to Your Booking at any time prior to the Holiday Camp via Your Active Network account. We will use reasonable endeavours to accommodate any requests, but We shall be under no obligation to do so. If You provide Us with 14 days or more notice, You can change Your dates within the same holiday camp, subject to availability, free of charge.

4.2.   We may alter the prices in the Price List without prior notice, but if any prices increase between the time when You make a Booking and the date of the Holiday Camp, the price increase will not apply to You and the Fees will therefore not increase for the Holiday Camp on that date.
4.3.   VAT is not charged on prices of Services shown in the Price List.
4.4.   The calculation of the Fees will be based on time which will be spent at the Venue, including parking, unloading, setting up/packing up and the period of time for which the Services are provided. All children MUST be collected at 3.30pm (unless timings are otherwise specified at time of Booking). You will be charged a late collection Fee of £10 for every 15 minutes after 3.45pm to cover the additional time spent at the Venue. We will advise You of the revised Fee amount and expect payment within 5 Business Days. Unless You pay the revised Fee amount, We will not accept future Bookings.
4.5.   Bright Sparks Events cannot accept Childcare Vouchers as a form of payment for Bookings as We are not OFSTED registered. We are exempt from registering with the compulsory Childcare Register as We provide specific tuition to help children improve their scientific skills. This exemption applies where the main purpose of what providers intend to offer is to give instruction or tuition in the activities. We do however adhere to OFSTED guidelines and recommended ratios.

 

5.       Cancellation of Services and Consumer Rights

5.1.   You may for any reason cancel a Booking during the 14 day period after the Booking is made, but if the Booking is for any Services to be provided on a date which is before the end of that 14 day period, You may not cancel those requested Services and You must pay for them in accordance with this Clause 5.

8.2.   It is the responsibility of the You/parent/carer to inform Us of any medical conditions and special educational needs or disabilities, whether booking online or over the phone, so We can discuss how best to accommodate the child, and consider whether any reasonable adjustments can be made to ensure they are able to fully participate and enjoy the activities on our camps within the staffing ratios provided.

2.3     You may make a booking enquiry by phone or in writing or completing the enquiry form on Our website outlining the Services required and the date and place of the Event concerned. When We receive Your enquiry We will respond to let you know provisionally whether We are able to provide the Services that You require on the date, at the time, and at the place required, and We will also advise You of the Fees payable based on the information You have given Us. All information will be relayed to you via the Booking Confirmation.

3.         Changes to Booking Details

You may request changes to your Booking at any time, up to 7 days prior to the Event. We will use reasonable endeavours to accommodate any requested change, but we shall be under no obligation to do so. If We do make a change requested by You, We shall be entitled to amend the Fees as a result of the change in accordance with the Price List, and will notify You of any such amendment to Fees within 3 Business Days of receiving the request to make the change, then:
3.1     If You accept the amended Fees, You may confirm the change and the amended Fees to Us in writing; or
3.2     If you are not willing to accept the amended Fees, You may confirm to Us in writing either that:
3.2.1     You wish to receive the Services at the original Fees agreed and without the requested change; or
3.2.2     You may cancel Your Booking on and subject to the cancellation provisions in this Agreement. If You do not let us have any of the above confirmations within 3 Business Days after We notify You of the amendment to Fees, the Booking shall remain unchanged and We will provide the Services at the original Fees agreed and without the requested change.

 

4.         Fees and Payment

4.1     Bookings made via Active Network either require Fees to be paid in full or pay a £100 non-refundable Deposit and agree to a payment plan with Active Network that will automatically take the remaining balance of the Fees on the Monday immediately after the Event.
Bookings not made via Active Network, but made by other Written means, require the balance of the Fees to be paid in full and cleared funds by no later than 14 calendar days before the Event, but if the Booking is made less than 14 calendar days before the Event, You must instead pay us the balance of the Fees with the Deposit.
4.2     You must pay the Fees for all Services that We fully and correctly provide to You.
4.3     You may pay Us the Fees for the Services using any of the following methods:
4.3.1    Credit/Debit Card by phone or using our online booking system (Active Network);
4.3.2 Cheque, BACS or Cash payment into our nominated bank account;
4.4     We may alter the prices in the Price List without prior notice, but if any prices increase between the time when You make a Booking and the date of the Event, the price increase will not apply to You and the Fees will therefore not increase for the Event on that date.
4.5     VAT is not charged on prices of Services shown in the Price List.
4.6     If You state anything before the event which We were not aware of when We previously quoted the amount of Fees payable and We decide that it necessitates altering that Fee quote, We will advise You of the revised Fee amount and ask You whether You still wish to proceed. Unless You confirm that You do wish to proceed and You pay the revised Fee amount, We will not accept the Booking.
4.7     You must state Your estimate of the number of children who will attend the Event, and the amount of the Fees payable will be based on that number as stated in the Price List. If, however, at any time after initial contact but before the date of the Event You notify Us that You have revised the estimated number, the amount of the Fees may be altered and increased by Us.
4.8     If the number of children who attend the Event is less than You previously estimated and advised to Us and if according to the Price List, the Fees payable for the number attending is less than for the number that You previously estimated and advised to Us, You will not be entitled to any reduction in Fees for that reason but where the number is significantly less, on request We will consider the circumstances and in Our discretion decide whether to make any reduction in Fees, and if We do so decide We will repay to You the amount by which We reduce the Fees.
4.9     The calculation of the Fees will be based on time which will be spent at Your Premises, including parking, unloading, setting up/packing up, the period of time for which the Services are provided, all breaks taken by the Entertainer during that time, and his/her travelling time to and from Your Premises. We will advise You (when We tell You the amount of the Fees to apply) of the total amount of time We will need in addition to the time during which We provide the Services.

 

5.         Cancellation of Services and Consumer Rights

5.1     If, at any time after You pay Us all Fees in advance for all Services, You cancel the Services without giving Us the prior notice that We require to be given as set out in this Clause 5, We will be entitled to keep some or all of those Fees as set out in this Clause 5.
5.2     You may cancel the Services without charge if You give Us at least 14 days prior notice of the cancellation. If You do so We will refund to You any sum(s) You paid in advance minus a £15 admin fee.
5.3     If You give Us prior notice to cancel the Services but do not give Us at least 14 days prior notice of cancellation of the Services, We will be entitled to charge You for any net financial loss that We suffer due to Your cancellation, but that charge will be limited to an amount equal to the total Fees for the Services.
5.4     If, due to exceptional circumstances including, but not limited to, illness, accidents, or bereavement affecting either You or the child for whom the Event has been arranged, or Your inability to run the Event due to non-availability of the Event venue at Your Premises, You cancel the Services without giving Us at least 14 days prior notice, We will consider the circumstances and in Our discretion decide whether to waive any charge for late cancellation that We are entitled to make under the above provisions of this Clause 5.
5.5     We may cancel the Services at any time before the time and date booked for the Services in the following circumstances:
5.5.1     An event described in sub-Clause 8 below occurs and continues for more than 3 hours. If We do decide to cancel the Services in such circumstances We will refund to You in full the Fees You have paid Us for the Services; or
5.5.2     We find that you are not a “Consumer” (as defined in Clause 1 above). If We do decide to cancel the Services in such circumstances We will refund to You in full the Fees You have paid Us for the Services less any costs We have incurred specifically for the Services which We are unable to save or recover. If We cancel the Services in such circumstances We will have no liability to refund Fees or other liability for that cancellation except as above.
5.6     Prices for the Services are subject to change from time to time but We will try to give You as much prior notice as possible of any such changes.
5.7     We may immediately terminate provision of the Services if:
5.7.1     any act or omission or conduct of any person(s) at the Event (whether that person is You or any other adult or minor) in Our reasonable opinion renders it unreasonable for the Entertainer to continue or it amounts to Your breach of this Agreement; or
5.7.2     the venue is outdoors, and weather conditions make it unsafe, impracticable or unsuitable to provide the Services outdoors and You do not have a back up plan to use an indoor area at Your Premises. You will not be entitled to any refund of all or part of the Fees for Services not completed as a result in such a case.
5.8     Where the contract We make with You is not made on Our Premises, the Regulations give You the rights set out in this sub-Clause 5.8, and they will be in addition to the rights given to You by the above provisions of this Clause 5. You may for any reason cancel a Booking during the 14 day period after the Booking is made, but if the Booking is for any Services to be provided on a date which is before the end of that 14 day period, and if You have expressly requested Us to provide such Services in that 14 day period and We do so, You may not cancel those requested Services and You must pay for them in accordance with this Clause 5. If You request that Your Booking be cancelled, You must confirm this in Writing in any way convenient to You. If Your cancellation is allowed by this sub-clause 5.8, and You have already made any payment(s) to Us for the Booking, We will refund the payment(s) to You within 14 days of receiving Your cancellation less the amount due for the Services covered by that Booking that We have provided.
