8.1.5
The Parent shall indemnify and keep indemnified ProTot Sports against all loss (including loss of profit), liability, costs and expenses which ProTot Sports shall incur directly or indirectly as a consequence of any action or inaction of the Parent, the Carer or the child.

Customers are expected to behave in a civilised and respectful manner at all times towards the Coaches, other customers and any members of the public who are on the premises. In the event that ProTot Sports determines the behaviour of the child and/or the parent/carer to be unacceptable, ProTot Sports is entitled to exclude the child and the Parent/Carer (or either of them) from the session and premises permanently or for such period as ProTot Sports shall (in its entire discretion) determine.

8.2. Session Rules
8.2.1
For Health and Safety purposes please supervise your child(ren) around the premises/venue prior to your session start time.
8.2.2
Please remember that you are the responsible adult for your child when he/she is attending a ProTot Sports session*. Responsible adults should stay within easy sight and reach of their child at all times.
*At some indoor venues the sessions are more successful when the parents sit outside the room with siblings/buggies etc. during the course of the session. We accommodate this in certain venues but to fulfil our insurance obligations and keep the session safe for everyone we must maintain Ofsted Ratios of 1:4 for children under 3 years and 1:8 for children aged 3 years and over. Parents must not leave the area outside the room and must be made aware that they remain responsible adults for their child/ children at all times.
8.2.3
Please help us start and finish sessions on time by arriving promptly for your session. Please let the coaching team know if you have to leave the session early for any reason; this is for emergency evacuation purposes.
8.2.4
Please keep siblings, buggies and associated equipment off or as far back from the playing area at all times. ‘Pitch invaders’ are not covered by our insurance if they cause or are involved in an accident (see Clause 8.1.8)
8.2.5
Please assist us to ensure that the session runs smoothly by firmly requiring your child to sit with you on the sidelines for a full 2 minute ‘time-out and calm down’ as may be requested by the Coach at any time during the session, if ever necessary.
8.2.6
Parents/carers should provide water but no food must be eaten on the session floor to avoid the hazard of choking.
8.2.7
Parents/carers should take all litter home with them following sessions.
8.2.8
To comply with our ‘Safeguarding & Child Protection Policy’ and best practice, we request that Parents/Carers DO NOT take photographs or videos at ProTot Sports sessions. Whilst our coaches will do their best to enforce a total ban on the use of photographic/film or video equipment by P1arents/Carers at classes, due to the nature of their work and the concentration required during the delivery of sessions, we are unable to guarantee this, and your cooperation would be appreciated. From time to time ProTot Sports may organise session photo shoots, but only where all parental consents have been obtained.
8.2.9
Please try to keep noise and disturbance from the sidelines to a minimum to avoid distracting your child and others.
8.2.10
Please ensure your child is wearing athletic clothing and proper footwear for each session. Ensure that you have packed appropriate clothing for all weather conditions for those sessions that are running outdoors (ProTot Sports will notify you if a session takes place outdoors).
8.2.11
Although general advice will be offered, no requests for transfers, moving up age groups or changing venues or sessions can be confirmed on the spot at classes. Absolutely no cash/cheques or booking forms will be accepted at the class. Please call ProTot Sports to discuss the matter with our team.
9. Complaint’s Procedure

11.2

11.4

12. General
12.1
ProTot Sports accepts the service of documents via email and any notices to be sent by either party to the other shall be sent in writing.
12.2
The failure by either party to enforce at any time or for any period any one or more of the obligations arising under these terms shall not be a waiver of them or of the right at any time subsequently to enforce all the obligations arising under these terms.
12.3
The Parent/ Carer acknowledges, has read and understood the ProTot Sports Data Privacy Policy found here: https://www.prototsports.co.uk/privacy-policy.A copy of the ProTot Sports Safeguarding Policy is available from ProTot Sports.
12.4
We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation.
12.5
You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.
12.6
Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and ProTot Sports. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
12.7
If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
12.8
Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the service, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
12.9
These terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties. It is agreed that no statement, promise or inducement whether written or oral alleged to have been made by either party and which is not contained herein shall be binding or form part of this Agreement.
12.10
The safety and wellbeing of your child or the child in your care is of the upmost importance to ProTot Sports. We have a responsibility to report any inappropriate or suspicious behaviour to the relevant authorities.
12.11
Whilst we will try to ensure you always have the same Coach in a particular class, we cannot guarantee this as coaches may fall ill, leave or cancel for personal reasons. On occasion we may also need to have a new coach join or lead your session in order to complete their teacher training or assessments. This will in no way affect the quality of your lesson.
12.12
Our Classes are designed with a child’s physical, social, cognitive and emotional development in mind. Moving children into classes before a certain age could be challenging for them and detrimental to their progress. We have therefore applied a minimum and maximum age to each level.
12.13
We reserve the right to make amendments to our Terms and Conditions at any time to reflect changes in our business or statutory obligations. The new version will be posted on our website and will take effect immediately upon posting. If applicable these changes will be communicated to all our customers by email. If you book lessons after the new Terms and Conditions have come into effect as part of your booking process you will indicate your agreement to be bound by them. Previous versions of our Terms and Conditions can be requested from info@prototsports.co.uk
12.14
This entire agreement shall be governed by English Law and shall fall under English jurisdiction.
13. Ages Clarification
As of January 2022
Current sessions are delivered for 3&4 year old, 4&5 year old and 5&6 year old children (in groups). This does not mean the ages of the children per session are strictly between 3-4, 4-5 and 5-6 years old, although in most circumstances the age range of the children in each class will be very similar.
For example, children slightly under 3 and also over the age of 4 (but not 5) may be placed in the 3&4yrs group, children in their early 4’s (but not 3) and mid 5’s may be allocated a place in the 4&5yrs group, whilst children in their mid 5’s up to late 6’s may be in the 5&6yrs group (generally).
This flexibility across our classes allows children with differing physical, technical and emotional age levels, to develop and progress at the right time for them.
Your qualified and experienced coach will monitor each individual’s progress and decide when the time is appropriate for them to be moved into the older session. They will communicate this with parents directly.
Under normal circumstances we suggest that once your child turns 7, they will probably have ‘outgrown’ these current sessions, but please discuss this with your coach to clarify.
