For PSA Academies, it is very important that our customer’s package will be fun and a great success in every aspect. We promise that we will, as per our high-performance promise, take the best possible care of our programme participants at all times, ensuring that they have a safe and enjoyable experience. The following are our booking terms and conditions – please be sure to read them carefully and contact us via info@psaacademies.com should you have any questions relating to them.

 

  1. Our Benefits

 

Our benefits correspond to the description on our website, as well as the programme travel documents that you will be issued with following your completed booking, including the confirmation email, pdf ticket, welcome pack and any other relevant documentation issued. Programmes are subject to alteration for reasons of safety, inclement weather or customer numbers. We will always look to provide a suitable replacement in such circumstances.

 

In advance of travelling, customers must inform us of any special requirements that their participant has prior to their arrival, and we will do everything possible to accommodate these requests, albeit we cannot guarantee this without sufficient notice. Any alterations or additions to bookings with Klub Group Ltd., trading as PSA Academies, may be made in writing to sales@psaacademies.com.

All prices shown are also inclusive of VAT, calculated under the Tour Operators Margin Scheme. Due to this special VAT scheme, we are unable to issue invoices showing an exact VAT breakdown and customers will not be able to reclaim VAT against charges from Klub Group Ltd., trading as PSA Academies. Should the VAT regulations change after the time of booking, we reserve the right to surcharge or refund the consequent price difference.

  1. Booking and Contract

Customers enter into a contract, which is binding, as soon as they receive the booking confirmation via email, having paid the minimum deposit percentage for the package involved. The counter party in this contract will be the lead adult/parent/legal guardian person named within and responsible for the booking.

  1. Full Payment Terms

For any bookings made with a deposit payment, the final balancing payment is due no later than 60 days before the start date of the package programme (unless the customer is otherwise notified of an alternative date in writing). If the customer makes a booking within 60 days of the package start date, then payment must be made in full at the time of the booking. Klub Group Ltd., trading as PSA Academies, reserves the right to withdraw and resell any packages for which customers fail to make full payment before the standard 60 days payment deadline (unless the customer is otherwise notified of an alternative date in writing).
