1. Binding terms

These terms and conditions, to which you hereby agree to be bound, apply to your child’s participation in the University of Warwick Holiday Camp (the “Holiday Camp”) and provision of such Holiday Camp by The University of Warwick, Coventry, CV4 8UW, UK (the “University”). These terms and conditions form the entire agreement between the University and you with respect to the Holiday Camp.

You warrant and represent that you are over 18 years of age and that you are the parent or guardian of the child(ren) for whom the application to the Holiday Camp is being made.

2. Applications

All applications to the University are applications for a place on the Holiday Camp the details of which are set out on the Holiday Camp website which can be found at https://warwick.ac.uk/services/holidaycamps/.

Bookings for the Holiday Camp must be made using the online application form. The University may, in its sole discretion, accept or reject such bookings and notify the applicant by email accordingly. If information provided in the booking form is found to be untruthful or falsified, the University reserves the right to reject the booking or withdraw the acceptance of the booking. All decisions by the University in respect of bookings are final. The payment of any sum to the University by or on behalf of the applicant does not oblige the University to accept a booking. In the event that your child’s participation in the Holiday Camp is terminated, the provisions for clause 4 (Cancellation) shall apply.

Admission to the Holiday Camp is based on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.

3. Payment terms

The fee stated on the Holiday Camp website includes the cost of all social activities throughout the duration of the Holiday Camp. Breakfast cereal and water are available on the Holiday Camp and are included in the fee, but no further catering is provided. You are responsible to ensure that your child has a packed lunch and any other drinks or food as appropriate for each day they attend the Holiday Camp.
