(1) PARENTS AND GUARDIANS

In the event that the person intending to participate in the Tour (hereinafter “Participant”) is under the age of 18 years then a parent or guardian will be required to make the booking and agree to these Terms on their behalf (hereinafter “Guardian”).

Once the booking is submitted and the deposit has been paid, both the child Participant and their Guardian will be deemed to have agreed to these Terms, and will be bound by these Terms.

Throughout these terms, we use words such as “you” or “your” to refer to both the Participant and any Guardian who may agree to these Terms on behalf of the Participant.

Any Guardian who is agreeing to these Terms on behalf of a child Participant hereby:

1. warrants and represents that they have the legal authority to agree to these Terms on behalf of the Participant;
2. warrants and represents that all information they are providing in relation to the Participant is true and correct to the best of their ability;
3. confirms that they understand the contents of these Terms, and have made sure that the Participant understands the contents of these Terms; and
4. confirms that they intend for these Terms to be binding on the Guardian and the Participant.

(2) MATURITY AND CONDUCT OF CHILDREN TRAVELLING WITHOUT A PARENT OR GUARDIAN

In the event that a child Participant is travelling on Tour without a parent or guardian, the Guardian hereby acknowledges and understands that:

1. SBCC may be managing 30 or more children on Tour; and
2. SBCC is unable to provide additional or dedicated attention to any individual children; and
3. any child Participant who is on Tour without a parent or guardian must be capable of caring for themselves without significant additional or dedicated attention from SBCC; and

In the event that the Participant is not mature enough to take personal responsibility for complying with these Terms, then a parent or guardian must join the Tour with the Participant.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Guardian hereby indemnifies, and keeps indemnified, SBCC together with any employees, agents, officers, representatives, affiliates, and permitted successors and assigns of SBCC, for any loss, damage, or liability, whether direct or indirect, which may arise as a result of the Guardian misrepresenting the Participant’s level of maturity or personal responsibility to SBCC.

(7) PRICES AND SURCHARGES

All quoted amounts, whether in the Tour Itinerary, on our website, or elsewhere, are in Australian dollars unless stated otherwise.

Quoted prices are calculated based on a minimum number of 20 participants taking part in the Tour (excluding staff). In the event that this minimum number is not met, then a surcharge may apply.

As is common in the travel industry, our Tour Price may also be affected by variable and seasonal pricing including but not limited to currency exchange rates, fuel prices, taxation, government action, government policy, increases in airfares and other transport costs or increases in local operator costs. In the event of an increase in costs in connection with the Tour, a surcharge may apply.

We do not have the right to impose surcharges unless there has been an increase in costs, or the minimum number of participants has not been met.

By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to the quoted Tour Price, as well as any reasonable surcharges which may increase the Tour Price as described in these Terms.

Should gender breakdowns or requests require a single room or rooms a single accommodation surcharge will be charged.

Your rooms will be allocated once your final payment is received. In the event that there is an odd number of Participants on the Tour, then the last Participant to process their final payment will be given a single room, and will be required to pay a single accommodation surcharge.

We reserve the right to cancel a Tour if the minimum requirement of 20 participants is not met.

In the event that we should have to cancel a Tour, you can transfer amounts paid to an alternate departure date or receive a full refund.

We are not responsible for any incidental expenses that you may have incurred as a result of your booking including but not limited to visas, vaccinations, travel insurance excess or non-refundable flights.

You are strongly encouraged to ensure that your travel insurance includes coverage for cancellations and Force Majeure events.

(14) PERSONAL CHANGES TO ITINERARY

We are able to obtain competitive prices from airlines, accommodation providers and local operators because the Tour group travels together.

Therefore, our Tours are sold as a complete package, and we are unable to provide any refunds for unused services or unused portions of the Tour, for example, if you join the Tour late, leave the Tour early, or extend your return date. Due to group airfare terms and conditions no refunds or discounts can be offered for participants choosing not to use their return international flight.

In the event that you need to vary your itinerary, for example, by joining the Tour late, leaving the Tour early, or extending your stay and returning later, any variation will incur an amendment fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) to SBCC, plus any fare difference and amendment and/or ticket reissue fee charged by the airline.

(15) BOOKING ALTERATIONS BY YOU

In the event that you wish to transfer from one Tour to another, we will attempt to accommodate your requests, but make no guarantees that we will be able to do so.

In the event that we are able to fill your place in the original Tour, then we may apportion any payments that you have already made towards the new Tour.

In the event that we are unable to fill your place in the original Tour, then our standard cancellation charges will apply, as set out in clause 10.

For any transfers, a transfer fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) will apply (in addition to any of our cancellation charges and any charges levied by hotels, ground operators or airlines).

In the event that you wish to transfer your booking to a third party, be aware that once tickets have been issued by airlines, your booking is non-transferable.In the event that it is possible to transfer your booking to a third party, an amendment fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) per person will be charged by SBCC for any transfer (in addition to any charges levied by hotels, ground operators or airlines).

Any transfers (whether transferring from one Tour to another, or whether transferring your booking to a third party) are also subject to the rules and fees that are applied by the relevant hotels, ground operators and airlines.

We may refuse, in our absolute discretion, to process amendments or transfers within 14 days of the commencement of the Tour. In the event that we permit amendments or transfers within 14 days of the commencement of the Tour, higher administration fees (both to SBCC and to hotels, ground operators or airlines) are likely to apply. You will be notified of any applicable administration fees at the time of your request.

(16) BOOKING ALTERATIONS BY US

We strive to ensure that the Tour is supplied as described in the Tour Itinerary issued prior to Tour commencement, and we will take all reasonable steps, to the best of our ability, in order to achieve this.

However, on some occasions, for unforeseen reasons or due to circumstances beyond our control, it may be necessary to amend an itinerary and substitute an itinerary with the best available alternative. We reserve the right to amend or change an itinerary due to local circumstances or events outside of our control.

You acknowledge and agree that the itinerary provided in the Tour Itinerary is indicative only, and that itineraries may be subject to alteration without prior notice due to local circumstances or events.

(24) SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

Please notify us prior to payment of your deposit, if you have any special needs or requirements including physical, dietary or any other such needs.

We do our best to accommodate any special requirements, and to provide an inclusive environment for all Participants, provided that this does not detract from the competitive development of other Participants (see clause 27).

We have the best opportunity to plan a positive and inclusive Tour, and to ensure that we are equipped to deal with any special requirements, if we are fully informed of them at the time of booking. Any such disclosures will be handled sensitively and for the sole purpose of planning a positive and inclusive Tour.

In the event that you do not disclose any special requirements to us at the time of booking, then we are unable to prepare for them.

(25) CRICKET EQUIPMENT

You are responsible for providing your own cricket equipment and safety gear. The following equipment is mandatory for all cricket matches on Tour:

2. Batting pads
3. Thigh guard
4. Inner thigh guard
5. Gloves

All equipment should be well fitted and in good condition to ensure it provides adequate protection and functionality.

Please ensure that your equipment and safety gear is all in order at the start of the Tour. While it may be possible to purchase emergency supplies once on Tour, we are often travelling on a tight schedule and cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate this.

Unfortunately, if you do not have the appropriate safety gear at the start of a match, then we cannot allow you to play.

(26) BIOSECURITY

You are responsible ensuring that all of your luggage complies with all biosecurity requirements when travelling.

In particular, you should make sure that your cricket gear such as cricket spikes, are free of any foreign soil and other materials.

(27) COMPETITIVE DEVELOPMENT

The Tour is designed as a competitive development opportunity for Participants. Matches are played against strong opposition teams. For these reasons, Participants must meet minimum skill levels in order to join the Tour.

SBCC makes the final decision regarding a Participant’s skill level for a particular Tour.

Games will be played to win (but not at all costs). This will be balanced between playing the game competitively and developing the skills of each player on the Tour.

Players will be asked to choose one focus skill on Tour (batting, bowling or wicket keeping). Players will get maximum exposure on the Tour in relation to their chosen focus skill.

Players are not all-rounders on the Tour.

Batsmen do not have to retire on a certain score but may be asked to retire to ensure all players choosing the focus skill of batting bat during an innings.

The number of overs bowled will be divided up equally between all players listing their focus skill as bowling. Bowlers who bowl in a substandard manner will be rested and will not get their full overs if their bowling is deemed poor by the coach on a given day.

Wicket keepers are expected to wicket keep for the duration of an innings.

The Tour coach is to ensure the basic principles of competitive development occur on Tour but can make changes should they be required in his/her opinion.

(28) FITNESS AND HEALTH

Participants must be fit and healthy at the commencement of the Tour.
