Booking Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions apply to all bookings of a place(s) on Arsenal ‘Football Plus’ courses made by you (each a ”Course”). Please read these terms and conditions carefully before booking any Course. Please note that, by booking a place on a Course, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, these terms and conditions, including all rights granted to you and our obligations hereunder, are subject to any COVID-19 related restrictions or requirements from time to time imposed by applicable law and/or applicable football regulations. For the avoidance of any doubt, we shall not be in breach of these terms and conditions by virtue of any action which we take or omit to take as a consequence of applicable law or applicable football regulation.

  1. INFORMATION ABOUT US
    1. Courses are operated by The Arsenal Football Club Plc (“we”, “our”, “us”). We are registered in England and Wales under company number 109244 and with our registered office at Highbury House, 75 Drayton Park, London N5 1BU. Our VAT number is 769406787.
  2. YOUR STATUS
    By placing a booking for a space on a Course, you promise that:
    1. You are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and
    2. You are at least 18 years old; or
    3. A parent or guardian has entered into the Contract (as defined in clause 3.1 below) on your behalf.
  3. BOOKING PROCESS
    1. When you book a place on a Course a contract between us and you (the “Contract”) will be formed when we accept your booking.
    2. Please note that places on Courses are subject to availability. Your preferred Course may not be available in which case you will be notified of an alternative Course(s) if available. No payment will be taken for a booking until such time as we accept your booking.
    3. Notice of a confirmed Course booking will be sent to you by email where possible (or alternatively by post) as soon as details of your payment have been processed and entered onto our system.
  4. PRICE AND PAYMENT
    1. The price of Course bookings will be as set out on the online form through which you book the relevant Course(s) (the “Booking Form”) from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
    2. These prices include VAT, which will be added to the total amount due if applicable.
    3. Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect bookings for which you have already paid.
    4. It is always possible that, despite best efforts, some of the Courses listed on the Booking Form may be incorrectly priced. Where a Course’s correct price is less than the stated price on the Booking Form you will be charged the lower amount. If a Course’s correct price is higher than the price stated on the Booking Form, we reserve the right to reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
    5. We shall not be under any obligation to provide the Course to you at the incorrect (lower) price, if the pricing error is obvious and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
    6. Payment for Course bookings shall be due as set out on the Booking Form and can be made in cash, by cheque or credit or debit card. If you pay using a credit or debit card, your credit or debit card will be charged on the same day that we confirm your booking. We retain the right to vary the acceptable methods of payment without notice from time to time.
  5. THE COURSE
    1. We treat as a priority the safety and well-being of all children attending a Course. We reserve the right to remove from a Course any person who is found to: (i) be engaged in offensive activity; (ii) have participated in the bullying of others; (iii) display disruptive behaviour; (iv) have failed to comply with any health and safety requirements set out by us (including, without limitation, any health and safety policies and guidelines relating to the COVID-19 pandemic); or (v) for any other reason where we consider a person’s behaviour is detrimental to the interests or safety of the persons attending a Course. If you are removed from a Course for any of these reasons, you will not be refunded any fees already paid by you in connection with that Course.
  6. CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS POLICY
    1. We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule a Course at any time by sending you a notice to that effect. In circumstances where such cancellation or rescheduling takes place less than 48 hours before the scheduled date we will contact you by telephone. In the event that you are sent details of a rescheduled Course you may choose to either attend the rescheduled date or transfer your booking to another available Course without any charge by following the instructions in the notice. If you do not wish to attend the Course on the rescheduled date offered, or transfer your booking to another available Course, you shall be entitled to receive a full refund. Where you have already attended part of the Course, any refund shall be prorated in respect of any undelivered part of the Course. Where you have received any kit as a part of your Course, the cost of such kit shall be deducted from any refund that you may be entitled to.
    2. You may transfer a confirmed Course booking to an eligible person nominated by you by sending a notice to communitydepartment@arsenal.co.uk or, if it is within 3 days prior to the start of the Course, by calling us on +44(0)20 7619 5003.
    3. You have the right to cancel a confirmed Course booking at any time by sending a notice to communitydepartment@arsenal.co.uk or by calling us on +44(0)20 7619 5003. If you cancel a confirmed Course booking you may be entitled to a refund of charges paid by you in accordance with this clause 6.
    4. If you cancel a confirmed Course booking, and your place(s) on a Course is subsequently rebooked by another person, we shall refund to you the fees you have paid to us less any costs reasonably incurred by us. If you cancel a confirmed Course booking and your place(s) is not rebooked by another person, you will not be entitled to any refund of charges that you have paid if your notice of cancellation is received by 10 days or less before the scheduled start date of the Course. If we receive your cancellation notice more than 10 days before the scheduled start date of the Course you shall be entitled to a refund of all fees paid by you, less an administration fee of £5. This does not affect your statutory rights.
    5. We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for the Course within 30 days of such refund being approved and agreed.
  7. LIABILITY
    1. We are responsible for any loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these terms and conditions or our negligence, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable or caused by events outside our control (for which see clause 10 below).

      3. For fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
      4. For any matter for which it would be illegal to exclude, or attempt to exclude, liability.
    4. We are not responsible for indirect losses which you may suffer as a consequence of the main loss or damage even if such losses result from a deliberate breach of these terms that would entitle you to terminate the Contract.
    5. You shall be liable for the cost of any damage to our property or facilities caused by you or by persons under your control.
  8. NOTICES
