3.2 If we cannot accept your Camper Application. If we are unable to accept your Camper Application, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the camp. This might be because the camp you have requested is full, because we have identified an error in the price of the camp or because we are unable to support the medical and/ or behavioural problems which you have detailed in the Camper Information Form.

4. Our rights to make changes
Although we have made every effort to detail programmes, activities, itineraries, excursions and the camp location on our website accurately, we cannot guarantee that there will be no changes to the camp services.

7.4 Medical Attention. If the Camper requires urgent medical attention while under our care, all reasonable efforts will be made to obtain your prior consent. However, if it is not practicable for us to contact you in time (for example because the Camper requires urgent medical treatment recommended by a doctor or other medical practitioner), you authorise us to consent on your behalf to the Camper receiving emergency medical treatment (including blood transfusions within the United Kingdom, general anaesthetic and operations under the National Health Service and where certified by an appropriately qualified person as necessary for the Camper’s welfare.)

8. Price and payment
8.1 Where to find the price for Camp Cooper. The price of Camp Cooper will be the price indicated on our website when you placed your Camper Application. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the camp advised to you is correct. However please see clause 8.2 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the camp you ordered via our Camper Application.
8.2 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the camp sessions we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your Camper Application so that, where the camp's correct price at your Camper Application date is less than our stated price at your Camper Application date, we will charge the lower amount. If the camp's correct price at your Camper Application date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your Camper Application.
8.3 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with debit card or credit card (except for American Express) or by way of bank transfer.

You must pay an advance payment equivalent to £250 per week of the Camp (“Deposit”). (So if in your Camper Application you order a four week camp, the deposit will be £1,000.) The Deposit is payable at the same time as you submit your Camper Application. The Deposit is non-refundable unless we do not accept your Camper Application.
We will invoice you for the balance of the price of the Camp following acceptance of the Camper Application and such invoice is payable in full by 1st June in the year of the Camp the subject of your Camper Application.
In the event that your Camper Application is submitted on or after 1st June in the year of the Camp the subject of your Camper Application, the price of the Camp must be paid in full on submission of your Camper Application.
8.4 We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 2% a year above the base lending rate of Bank of Scotland PLC from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
8.5 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

As detailed on our website, Camp Cooper may involve taking Campers to activities/ places run by third party providers (eg high ropes courses, roller disco etc).

In the event that a Camper fails to adhere to the Camper Code of Conduct this may result in his/ her participation in the Camp being terminated immediately without refund and the Camper may be sent home at your expense. In any event, we are entitled to exercise a wide discretion when deciding whether Campers should be excluded from any activity on the grounds of safety or unsuitability.
14.2 Smoking, Alcohol and Drugs. Possessing, using or consuming alcohol, cigarettes or drugs is strictly prohibited at the Camp.

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.
