Terms & Conditions and Parental Consent
By registering your child for a Miss Teaspoon programme, camp, workshop, event, or activity (“Programme”), you confirm that you are the parent or legal guardian of the child and acknowledge and agree to the following terms.
1. Participation Consent
- I give permission for my child to participate in the Miss Teaspoon Programme for which they have been registered.
- I understand that the Programme may include group activities, discussions, social-emotional learning exercises, games, creative activities, physical activities, outdoor activities, and other activities appropriate to the nature of the Programme.
- I understand that participation in activities may involve certain inherent risks, including but not limited to minor injuries, accidents, illness, emotional discomfort, or risks associated with group interaction and physical activities.
- I confirm that I have disclosed any relevant medical conditions, allergies, dietary requirements, learning needs, or other information that may affect my child's participation or safety.
- I understand that Miss Teaspoon and its facilitators are not doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, or other healthcare specialists. The activities and programmes offered by Miss Teaspoon are educational and developmental in nature and are not intended to diagnose, treat, or replace professional medical, psychological, or therapeutic care.
2. Registration, Payment, Refunds and Postponement
Each registration is for the specific Programme and date stated at the time of registration.
Once payment has been made, registrations are generally non-refundable and cannot be transferred to another person.
If a participant is unable to attend, the registration fee will not ordinarily be refunded, including in cases of change of plans, personal commitments, travel arrangements, minor illness, or failure to attend the Programme.
Medical Postponement
A request to postpone participation may be considered only where the child is medically unfit to participate due to a significant illness, injury, or medical condition.
A written medical letter or medical certificate from a registered medical practitioner must be provided to Miss Teaspoon as supporting documentation. The document should confirm that the child is medically unfit to participate in the specific Programme or event.
Where a medical postponement is approved:
- the payment may be transferred to a future equivalent Programme, subject to availability;
- the postponement is not a cash refund;
- the transfer must be used within the timeframe communicated by Miss Teaspoon; and
- the transfer is subject to the availability and suitability of future Programme dates.
Requests for medical postponement must be submitted to Miss Teaspoon as soon as reasonably possible and, where practicable, before the Programme begins. Miss Teaspoon reserves the right to assess postponement requests and supporting documentation on a case-by-case basis.
Cancellation or Changes by Miss Teaspoon
Miss Teaspoon reserves the right to cancel, postpone, reschedule, modify, or change a Programme due to circumstances including but not limited to insufficient enrolment, venue or facilitator availability, safety concerns, severe weather, public health concerns, or other circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
If Miss Teaspoon cancels a Programme and is unable to provide a suitable alternative date or arrangement, any refund or alternative remedy will be handled in accordance with applicable law and the circumstances of the cancellation.
3. Programme Changes
Miss Teaspoon reserves the right to make reasonable changes to the Programme schedule, activities, facilitators, venue, or content where necessary.
Any changes will be made with the safety, educational value, and overall experience of participants in mind.
4. Media Consent
I give permission for Miss Teaspoon to photograph, film, or make audio recordings of my child during their participation in the Programme.
I understand that these materials may be used for educational, promotional, marketing, and communication purposes, including but not limited to social media, websites, digital communications, presentations, and printed materials.
If I do not consent to the use of my child's image, video, or recordings, I will contact Miss Teaspoon directly at girls@missteaspoon.com to update my preferences.
5. Personal Data and Privacy
I understand that Miss Teaspoon may collect and process personal data relating to myself and my child for purposes connected with registration, administration, communication, programme delivery, safety, and emergency response.
This may include information such as the child's name, age, parent or guardian contact details, emergency contact information, allergies, dietary requirements, and relevant health or medical information necessary for participation and safety.
I consent to the collection, use, storage, and processing of this information in accordance with Miss Teaspoon's Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. Where medical or health information is requested, I understand that it will be collected only for purposes reasonably connected with the child's participation, wellbeing, and safety.
6. Withdrawal of Media Consent
I may withdraw consent for future use of my child's image, video, or audio recordings by contacting Miss Teaspoon at girls@missteaspoon.com.
I understand that withdrawal of consent does not require Miss Teaspoon to recall or remove materials that have already been published, distributed, or produced before the withdrawal was received.
7. Programme Guidelines and Behaviour
I acknowledge that my child is expected to follow the Programme's safety instructions, code of conduct, and behaviour guidelines.
Miss Teaspoon reserves the right to ask a participant to leave a Programme where their behaviour poses a serious risk to themselves or others, significantly disrupts the Programme, or breaches the applicable behaviour guidelines.
In such circumstances, no refund will ordinarily be provided, subject to applicable law.
8. Emergency Medical Care
In the event of an emergency, I authorise Miss Teaspoon and its appointed facilitators to take reasonable steps to obtain emergency medical assistance for my child where necessary.
I understand that Miss Teaspoon will make reasonable efforts to contact the parent or guardian or emergency contact as soon as reasonably practicable.
I understand that any medical or emergency costs incurred on behalf of my child are the responsibility of the parent or guardian.
9. Liability and Assumption of Risk
I understand that participation in activities involves inherent risks.
To the extent permitted by law, I voluntarily allow my child to participate in the Programme and agree that Miss Teaspoon, its facilitators, staff, volunteers, contractors, and affiliates will not be held responsible for loss, damage, injury, or other claims arising from participation, except where such liability cannot lawfully be excluded or results from negligence, wilful misconduct, or other circumstances for which liability cannot legally be excluded.
10. Acknowledgement and Agreement
By completing the registration and payment process, I confirm that:
- I am the parent or legal guardian of the registered child;
- I have read and understood these Terms & Conditions and Parental Consent;
- I have provided accurate and complete information relevant to my child's participation;
- I understand the Programme's payment, refund, and postponement policy; and
