3 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF MEMBERSHIP I hereby accept the following conditions of my membership of the London Karate dō Shōtō Association (LKDSA): 1. Club Authority 1.1. In all points raised below & all matters pertaining to the LKDSA, I accept that the Deputy Chief Instructor will carry the full authority of the Chief Instructor in his/her absence The grades of proficiency that I may be awarded from time to time are a privilege, not a right, granted at the discretion of the instructors and examiners. The Chief Instructor of LKDSA, as the highest technical authority in the club, may therefore alter my grade/rank at any time (up or down) without prior notice at his/her sole discretion. 2. Behaviour & Discipline 2.1. I promise not to use knowledge/skills that I am taught except in defence of life, honour or truth and, even then, as a last resort when all other options have been exhausted I promise never to do anything that may bring shame, disrespect or dishonour to my teacher, my club or myself I promise not to damage any equipment or item belonging to the LKDSA I accept that no photographic, videographic or media material may be obtained in the club or during club events without the prior permission of the chief instructor I accept that in all matters pertaining to my training and discipline, the Chief Instructor s decision is final and cannot be appealed. 3. Finance issues 3.1. I accept that class fees are payable by the following methods: Paid monthly by standing order (s/o) mandate. This is due at the end of each month, prospectively, for the forthcoming month, eg. Fees for June are due by 31 May. I understand these payments are to continue monthly for ALL TWELVE calendar months because the cost of 10 months training (the academic calendar) is spread evenly over 12 months to make it less of a financial burden. Therefore, even though students are not charged for school holiday periods (Christmas, New Year, Easter, summer holidays etc.), payments that are made during these periods are effectively paying back some of the cost of the remaining ten months of training Paid per semester (4 calendar months at s/o rates), which is due in cash or cheque PRIOR to the commencement of the semester Paid per lesson at a flat rate, which is due in cash PRIOR to the commencement of the lesson. The fee for each lesson is calculated thus: highest monthly s/o rate (for adults or children respectively) divided by 5 (except for the introductory lessons which are divided by 10) I understand that the latest fee rates can be obtained from the Club Treasurer or Chief Instructor I acknowledge that any alternative payment structure must be accepted in writing either by the Chief Instructor, Deputy Chief Instructor or Club Treasurer I promise to pay any fees due by me to the club on time and without delay. I recognise that if payment is late without a reason, submitted in writing, that is acceptable to the Chief Instructor or Chairperson, I am liable to incur a 1% penalty (compounded daily) on any outstanding fees or dues. If this delay persists beyond a month, either my membership may be terminated or the rate of penalty will rise to 2% daily from the 31 st day of delay onwards I acknowledge that all arrears are due within 5 working days from the date of any written notification by the club to the student (or student s guardian). I accept that if arrears are not paid within the 5 working days, my membership will be immediately suspended and that, if I still cannot clear the arrears within 2 weeks from the date of the written notification by the club, my membership will be terminated. I understand that if I should wish to resume training after this point, I will have to apply as a new student (i.e. licence/insurance/membership fee will be due etc.) I understand that all payments are non refundable. Furthermore, I understand that if a cheque is dishonoured by the bank then I will be liable to pay LKDSA a 20 handling fee. 4. Liability 4.1. I accept that the practise of any martial art/combat sport may involve the risk of serious injury I accept that it is my responsibility to ensure that my licence and insurance are up to date at the time of any practice that I take part in I accept that it is my responsibility to look after my personal belongings during practice sessions I acknowledge that LKDSA does not accept any responsibility or liability for any theft, loss or damage of any of my personal belongings I further acknowledge that, if I should steal, lose or damage any equipment or item(s) belonging to the LKDSA, I am responsible for the cost of replacing such item(s). 5. Licence/Membership Status 5.1. If I am granted a licence to practice, I accept that this is always the property of LKDSA which may be given to me for safekeeping. I will willingly surrender it immediately upon request by the Chief Instructor at all times I promise to inform London Karate dō Shōtō Association (in writing within 5 working days) if any of my details held in this document should change I accept that the terms and conditions of membership as well as any fee structure may, from time to time, change according to the changing needs of the club. I understand that, if this should happen, I will be given prior written notice of these changes I may request withdrawal of my membership of the London Karate dō Shōtō Association by giving one month s notice to the Chief Instructor or Chairperson, in writing. This one month may be used by the Club Management Team to resolve any outstanding administrative matters I accept that if any of the points in these terms and conditions are violated by me, my membership of the London Karate dō Shōtō Association may be suspended or terminated immediately without notice, at the sole discretion of the Chief Instructor or Deputy Chief Instructor. 6. Renewal of Membership 6.1. I recognise that my membership, if accepted, is only valid for one year from the date of my signature below in the first instance, subject to a review at the end of the year. After the yearly review, if successful, they may be offered membership for a further year. During this annual period, I understand and accept that the following (amongst other things) will be assessed: Enthusiasm and motivation for the Art. Level of dedication and commitment to learning. Ability to integrate into the club, both as an individual and in terms of club policies.
