Terms and Conditions

It is the parents’ responsibility to read these Terms and Conditions prior to registration. The Terms and Conditions contained herein are automatically applicable for all registrations made, including pitch sides.

Payment

All applications must be accompanied by payment in full of the appropriate course / camp fee
If you are booking more than 1 participant, they should be only direct members of your family as this will affect the discount system where applicable. If it is found that a person is booked who isn’t part of your direct family then you will have to pay a supplementary fee.

Payment Online

It is the parents’ responsibility to book the course/camp via Book Online. If you have not successfully secured a place online before the beginning of the program, and if you want to join the course/camp, you must pay slightly higher pro-rated pitch side price excluding the past sessions (courses) or depending on the chosen camp days. If a course/camp is sold out, InterSoccer has the right to refuse admission. If a family has accidentally booked the wrong course/camp, a change to another course/camp can be made if not already sold out- any price difference will need to be paid.
Courses/Camps can be booked with a credit/debit card.

Payment Pitchside

Joining without prior booking is possible, but admin fees for the registration will be required in addition to the online fee. For any child doing a trial at a course or paying pitch side for a course or camp, a parent must fill in the Pitch side Registration form provided by our coaches to be allowed to take part in the course/camp, providing full contact information, emergency number, any medical conditions, insurance details, and a signature. This is in accordance with Swiss Law and for health and safety reasons.
Pitch side payments should be made by bank transfer. InterSoccer does NOT accept any cash or cheque payments. The office can be contacted for payment by bank transfer (022 361 5155). Payment must be made on the same day when the participant joined the course/camps. Proof of payment must be given to the coach at the next session in order to continue the participation- a copy should be sent to the office (info@intersoccer.ch). Anyone paying by bank transfer must pay the pitch-side price, which includes admin fees.

Non Payment

Courses- Those who have joined pitch side and have not completed payment within 2 weeks of joining will be sent a reminder from the office. After 2 weeks of non-payment a 50CHF penalty fee per person will be applied. If payment has not been completed after 6 weeks of joining the course, InterSoccer has the right to escalate the matter with the Office des Poursuites.
Camps- Anyone joining a camp pitch side must complete payment within the week. Non-payment after 1 week will incur a 25CHF penalty fee, and after 3 weeks a 50CHF penalty fee for outstanding payment. If payment has not been completed after 6 weeks of joining the camp, InterSoccer has the right to escalate the matter with the Office des Poursuites.
Birthday Parties- Birthday Party invoices are to be paid within 2 weeks of reception. After 1 month of non-payment, a 50CHF penalty fee will be applied. If payment has not been completed after 6 weeks of receiving the invoice, InterSoccer will escalate the matter with the Office des Poursuites.

Discounts

Clients claiming a discount that they are not entitled to (multiple children discount for children from different families, combination discounts applied to courses/camps for which they are not intended, etc.) will be required to repay the difference. After 1 month of non-payment a 50CHF penalty fee will be applied. If payment has not been completed after 6 weeks of joining the course/camp, InterSoccer has the right escalate the matter with the Office des Poursuites.

Refund & Credit Policy

Bookings can be canceled if done 4 weeks (28 days) or more prior to the start date of the relevant course /camp/ birthday party. In these cases, a full refund can be accorded minus CHF 20 administration charge per course/camp/birthday party. For 1-day camps or other events CHF 5 will be charged.
For cancellations made between 15-27 days before the start of the course/camp/birthday party, a refund of 80% of the amount paid is possible.
For cancellations made between 8-14 days before the start of the course /camp/party, a 60% refund of the fee is possible.
There are no refunds for any cancellations made 7 days or less before the start of the course/camp/party. If you decide to cancel after the course has started, a refund is also NOT possible.
If you have never tried an InterSoccer After School, Weekend Soccer or Mini Soccer course, it is possible to do a trial in the first few weeks of the course. If you do a trial, registration is only possible if the course is not already full. Please sign up immediately after a trial to continue with the course. One free trial per child is possible, following trials need to be paid pro rata of a single session fee. Trials are not possible for Camps.
Modifications to the course/camp dates and/or the participant name can be made subject to a CHF 20 per booking administration charge. All changes are allowed no later than a week before the start of the camp/course/birthday party. After that, modifications are no longer applicable.
No refunds are available for missed sessions or illness. If your child is ill or has missed a session for an InterSoccer course /camp for any reason, a make-up day is not possible during the same season, subject to availability. Participants must do the course/camp during the allocated time and day, changing to days you are not registered for can overburden a coach on another day and create safety issues. If a child is injured or sick for a long time, a doctor’s note/certificate needs to be provided. The issuance of a credit only due to the long-term injury (more than 1 month) or illness of the participant will be considered on a case-by-case basis once a doctor’s certificate is received.
All courses/camps, activities, and venues are subject to change according to weather, programming, and a satisfactory level of numbers and ages of participants. InterSoccer has the right to cancel any courses and/or modify logistics. Should InterSoccer have to cancel part of a course/camp, we will offer alternative dates for the participant to make up for the missed time. If InterSoccer has to cancel a whole course/camp, then a full refund will be paid, or credit offered.
If InterSoccer cancels a course/camp partway through (i.e., due to numbers not increasing to a level high enough to sustain a course/camp), a refund/credit will be offered from the finishing date of the course/camp.
Given credits are valid only during 1 financial year or maximum 1 year, counting from the date the credit has been issued.

Cancellation of coaching sessions / Weather

The decision to cancel an courses due to adverse weather will be made by the coaches in charge approximately 15 minutes before the start of the session, sooner if possible. From experience, the weather can change at the last minute; therefore, before this cancellation may not be possible. InterSoccer will always endeavor to go ahead with the program despite bad weather. Unless informed otherwise, parents should assume the course goes ahead. Children should always have weather-appropriate clothing/equipment as stated in the course confirmation details, especially rain jackets and warm clothing in bad weather
The same 15-minute rule generally applies to Day/Soccer Camps, Tournaments and other events. However, we will always endeavor to go ahead with the camp. At some venues, indoor coaching is possible; however, please note that it is very difficult to find venues with both indoor and outdoor options available, and last-minute changes may not be possible.
If a participant misses the session (i.e., due to weather conditions) and InterSoccer still goes ahead with the session, a make-up day/refund/credit is not possible
If a whole coaching session is officially canceled due to the weather, an additional session will be offered on another day. The make-up day should be taken during the same course or the same holiday period. No refunds are offered.
There’s no refund of the down payment for a cancellation of a birthday party a week before the event. On the contrary, the down payment can be used for organizing the party another week. The credit can be used only within an year.

Safety

The parents are responsible for arranging the transport of their child(ren) to, and collection from, the facility being used for the course/camp/party times specified. Parents should ensure that their child is not left stranded after soccer at the pitch. When a child is collected by an adult, other than the parent, a Child Consent Collection Form must be completed by the parents before allowing another person to legally collect the child and the coach should be informed.
Children should be dropped off before the start of the course/camp and collected at the designated time at the end of the course/camp. In the unlikely event that soccer is canceled due to very adverse weather conditions, parents will be expected to be available to collect their children.
InterSoccer is responsible for the children on the pitch from the announced drop-off time until the end of the course /camp/party, as the time stipulated on the InterSoccer website. Parents must be present at the end of the course/camp/party at the latest to pick up their children at the pitch. InterSoccer cannot be held responsible for children after the session has ended.
Parents are responsible for checking course/camp dates and times, and when the course has holidays. Parents should always check that the coach is on the pitch before leaving their child.
Parents should ensure that children, especially those under 8, wait at the pitch until the person designated to collect them has arrived.
Parents are responsible for supplying a valid emergency phone contact during the registration period, especially if joining pitch side or when doing a free trial.
InterSoccer will not be responsible at any time for any child(ren) registered without a valid emergency number. If a parent has left their child for a trial, not pre-paid online, or paid pitch side, the parent must fill in the Pitch Side Registration Form. This is in accordance with Swiss Law and for health and safety reasons, and must be done even if the child has taken part in an InterSoccer course/camp previously.

Late collection of children

Children must be picked up at the end time of the course/camp, as stated on the website. Any late pick up will be charged a fee of 20CHF per 30 minutes after the end time. Coaches are unable to leave the pitch until all children have been picked up. Even if the Late Pick-up option is added for camp registration, the above penalties will apply for a pick-up after 18h00.

Equipping children with a hat/gloves is advisable when cold weather is predicted.
Many Swiss Sports facilities do not have indoor coaching areas, but at a minimum in case of extreme weather for 1-5 Day Camps, InterSoccer will offer a covered area where participants will have the opportunity to take part in organized fun games/quizzes/tactical analysis, coloring, and team building challenges depending on their age group.
