General Terms and Conditions for the Funside Balaton camp
1. As the parent or legal guardian of the child/children attending the camp (hereinafter referred to as: Parent), I hereby declare that my Child can attend – during the given time period and under the conditions stated below – the Funside Balaton Summer Camp (located at Györöki Ifitábor, Balatongyörök, Hungary and outside locations). I understand that my Child can attend the camp only with my explicit permission and under the conditions stated below.
2. The Organizers of the Camp declare that they will act to the best of their knowledge to ensure the quality of the education and activities provided to the Child. By signing the General Terms and Conditions, the Organizers of the Camp also declare that in the given period they will provide the participants of the Camp three meals a day, as well as beverages. The Organizers of the Camp declare that the Child may not leave the Camp in the absence of the Parents or without the explicit request or permission of the Parent. The Child may only be picked up from the Camp by the Parent or legal guardian, or any third person authorized by them. The Organizers of the Camp are only responsible as far as the obligations stated in the Camp Policy are concerned; in any other cases the responsibility relies solely on the Parent. Under the Civil Code of the Hungarian State, the Parent is liable for any possible damages to the Camp’s equipment or premises caused by the Child.
3. Due to Hungarian laws (Népjóléti Minisztérium 12/1991. V. 18.) parents of participating children must provide the necessary medical information proving that the child or children are medically fit for the camp activities at the start of the camp and does not suffer from a communicable disease at the start of the camp. The Camp Organizers will provide the Parent with the above declaration form, which the Parent must fill in and sign, and give to the Organizers before the start of the camp. Failure to provide a medical consent form or a false statement on the completed form may result in exclusion from the camp, in which case no refund will be given. The Camp Organizers reserve the right, regardless of the information on the declaration, if at any time at the beginning of the session or during the session, symptoms of communicable diseases are detected in the Child, including but not limited to those on the declaration, the Child will be excluded from the camp in accordance with the National Center for Public Health’s guidelines for camping, in order to protect the community and the individual, and will be turned over to the Parent. In such cases, the Camp Director on site may act on behalf of the Camp Organizers. The same applies in cases where there is an injury or other medical condition which makes the continuation of the camping activity dangerous to the Child’s health. If a Child interrupts the camp for medical reasons, but his/her condition improves during the session, the Child may resume the camp if the Parent provides a valid doctor’s note certifying to the Camp Director that the Child is no longer suffering from a communicable disease and is medically fit to attend the camp. If the Child permanently ends the camping period prematurely for medical reasons, the current refund rules apply.
The Parent declares that he/she is not aware of any other illness, allergy or food sensitivity or special educational needs of his/her Child that he/she has not indicated on the Sign-up Form or the Health Declaration; the Camp Organizers shall not be liable for any illness not listed therein and any consequences thereof. By allowing your child into the Community, you accept the possibility that, even with the greatest care, the possibility of infection or injury cannot be excluded with absolute certainty; if a camper becomes ill during the Camp and is required to leave the Camp or spend part of the day isolated on the Camp site, the Camp Organizers shall not be liable and the illness shall not be grounds for an extraordinary refund of the Camp fee. By signing this T&C, the Parent acknowledges and declares that his/her Child participates in the sports programmes at his/her own risk; the Camp Organizers are also not liable for any injuries resulting from this.
By signing this T&C, the Parent certifies to the Camp Organizers that the child has valid Hungarian TAJ social insurance coverage or a valid European Health Insurance Card. If neither is true, then the Child must have valid private health insurance for the duration of the camp, which also covers the sports classes chosen during the camp. Failing this, the Child may be excluded from the camp. If any payment is due to a health care provider or other facility as a result of or in connection with any health care services that may be incurred during the camp, the Parent shall be responsible for such payment. If the Camp pays the payment on behalf of the Parent during the administration of the Camp, the Parent shall settle the payment with the Camp by the end of the given session.
Special meals: when registering, please note that campers eat in the same place as their peers, so even in the case of cross-contamination-free meals prepared in a separate kitchen, it is not 100% certain that gluten or other allergens are not in the air.
4. Cancellations: in case of cancellation due to illness or any other reason prior to the camp, the Camp Organizers will try their best to find someone from the waiting list to take over the place in question. If another Child (a newly signed up camper or someone from our waiting list) is able to take the place of the Child at the camp, then only the 5% service fee is charged, the remainder of the standard camp fees is fully refunded. If the cancelled camp is a premium camp, then then ‘extra fee’ of the premium class (e.g. the extra cost of Windsurfing, Horseback riding etc.) is only refunded if the newly signed up camper chooses the same class; otherwise this cost is not refunded. In order to have the best chance of a full refund, it is best to notify the Organizers as early as possible about a potential cancellation. It’s never a good idea to join the camp while being ill – should this be the case, please get in touch with our team as early as possible so that we can find the best solution for you.
In case the Organizers are unable to fill the place in question (there is nobody on the waiting list able to take over the place), then due to the costs regarding housing, meals, personal costs etc. in connection with that place already partially or fully spent, refunds may only be issued with the following conditions:
– A 95% of the full camp fee is refunded if the cancellation happens up to the Monday two weeks before the given camp week (only a 5% service fee is charged from the full camp fee). If the cancellation happens following this date but up to the Wednesday before the given camp week, then 80% of the full camp fee is refunded. Any cancellation that happens from Thursday to Saturday before the given week permits a 50% refund of the camp fees. In case of no show or a withdrawal from the camp after the camp week has begun, no refund is issued.
– In case a camper keeps their booking but cancels or substitutes a ‘premium fee’ class (e.g. Windsurfing, Horseback riding etc.) up to the Monday two weeks before the given camp week, the full cost of the extra fee is refunded. If the cancellation happens following this date but up to the Wednesday before the given camp week, then 80% of the extra fee is refunded. Any cancellation that happens from Thursday to Saturday before the given week permits a 50% refund of the extra fees. In case the class is cancelled by the camper or the parent on the first day of camp, or later, then no refund is issued for the extra fee.
In case a Camper keeps their booking but cancels the bus ride, up to the Monday two weeks before the given camp week, the full cost of the extra fee is refunded. If the cancellation happens following this date but up to the Wednesday before the given camp week, then 80% of the extra fee is refunded. Any cancellation that happens from Thursday to Saturday before the given week permits a 50% refund of the extra fees. In case the class is cancelled by the camper or the parent on the first day of camp, or later, then no refund is issued for the extra fee.
In the case of the Camper getting ill during the Camp, forcing them to leave the Camp or spending time in isolation within the Camp, the Organizers cannot be held responsible and the illness does not provide ground for a refund. If the authorities impose mandatory quarantine on the Camper and thus they cannot continue participating in a week which has already begun, there is no ground for a refund. All changes to be possibly made due to legal/public health instructions do not provide grounds for a refund or an extraordinary cancellation.
Cancellations must always be made in writing. The amount of refund eligible is calculated based on the time of the written cancellation. Refunds are then issued within 30 days of the cancellation to the person who made the original payment.
5. Possible instances for the cancellation of the camp and following actions:
5A. If the chosen camp is cancelled by the Organizers of the Camp for any reason, the Organizers of the Camp will issue a full refund, or on request may credit the camp fee towards another camp.
5B. In case overnight (sleepover) camps become legally prohibited by the Hungarian government in 2024, and therefore the camp cannot go ahead this year, and this legal measure takes effect prior to 1 June 2024, anyone who has already made a payment is eligible for a full refund, or a voucher for next year’s camp of the same value, whichever one the payer prefers. The voucher cannot be later exchanged to cash.
5C. In case overnight (sleepover) camps become legally prohibited by the Hungarian government in 2024, and therefore the camp cannot go ahead this year, and this legal measure takes effect on 1 June 2024 or later, anyone who has already made a payment will receive a voucher of the same value. The voucher can be redeemed in 2025, for Funside Balaton summer camps. The voucher cannot be exchanged to cash.
6. The Funside Balaton camp is organized by the Funside Association. By attending camps organized by the Funside Association, the Child receives a supporting membership, or in case of a previous membership an extension of such membership, of the association, valid until December 31, 2024.
7. Any photos or videos taken at the Camp are the property of the Camp. The Camp maintains all the rights. The parents accept that photos may be taken at programs or activities where the child participates. The parent may ask for any photo featuring the camper to be removed from publishing or be deleted.
8. Campers must not have any medications, especially prescription drugs, in their possession during the camp, they must not take any drugs without the explicit knowledge of Camp Management and must not give medications to other campers under any circumstances. In order to ensure this, it is strictly forbidden to bring any drugs to camp without first notifying Camp Management (violation of these rules will result in the parents baring full responsibility for the consequences of any such action).
9. The Camp Sign-up (Registration) Form, as filled out by a parent or other legal representative of the Child electronically, is part of the General Terms and Conditions. Parents are responsible of the validity of the information provided about the Child on the Form.
10. The Camp Policy is part of the General Terms and Conditions. The Parent verifies with his or her signature that he or she and the Child have read and understood the Camp Policy. The Camp Policy can be found on webpage of the Camp and is directly available to any parent on request.
11. The camp fees may be paid in cash, via bank transfer or by debit or credit card. The debit or credit card payments are processed through Barion.
