11.20 Third party credit provider: The College may enter into arrangements with a licensed credit provider (an “LCP”) in connection with the provision of facilities to parents to pay School Fees by instalments. Under these arrangements an LCP may have rights to recover interest and other sums from the College (e.g. where parents do not keep up payments on credit agreements with an LCP). If the Parents enter into an agreement with an LCP and the College has to make any payments or otherwise incurs any liability as a result of a default by the Parents under that agreement, the Parents will remain fully liable for all Fees payable to the College and will reimburse the College in respect of all losses and expenses that it reasonably suffers or incurs as a result. 11.21 VAT and applicable tax(es) etc : (i) Except as expressly stated otherwise, all Fees and other amounts charged by the College are exclusive of any applicable taxes, levies and/or duties (e.g. VAT), which will be payable in addition by the Parents (where applicable). (ii) In the event Parents are required to reimburse the College for any costs or expenses the College incurs on the parents ’ or the Pupil’s behalf , parents must also reimburse the College for any VAT applicable on such costs or expenses, unless the College is entitled to a credit or repayment from HMRC in respect of that VAT. (iii) If the College at any time assesses (or HMRC at any time determines) that any of the Services supplied by the College under this contract are subject to VAT, and the College has not already charged the parents VAT on the applicable Fees for those Services, the College will promptly notify the parents and confirm the amount of VAT payable in respect of the relevant Fees and the parents will pay an amount equal to that VAT within fourteen (14) days of the College notifying the Parents.

General Contractual Matters
12.1 Compliance with the Parent Contract: The Parents are legally responsible, individually and jointly, for complying with their obligations under the Parent Contract. Subject to paragraph 13.3, the College will normally treat any instruction, authority, request or prohibition received from any person who has signed the acceptance form in respect of the Pupil as having been given on behalf of all persons who have signed the acceptance form.
12.2 Electronic signature: The College shall have a discretion as to whether (and on what basis) to accept electronic signature of an acceptance form or other documentation by the Parents and may insist upon manuscript signature.
12.3 Legal Contract: The offer of a place and its acceptance by the Parents give rise to a legally binding contract between the College and the Parents.
12.4 Representations: Our prospectus and website describe the broad principles on which the College is presently run and gives an indication of our history and ethos. Although believed correct at the time of printing, the prospectus is not part of the Parent Contract. If the Parents are relying on particular information provided to them by or on behalf of the College when deciding whether to accept a place for their child at the College, they should seek written confirmation from the College that the information in question is accurate before returning their signed acceptance form to the College.
12.5 Third Party Rights: Only the College and the Parents are parties to the Parent Contract. The Pupil is not a party to and may not enforce the Parent Contract.
12.6 Interpretation: These terms and conditions supersede those previously in force and will be construed as a whole. Headings, unless required to make sense of the immediate context, are for ease of reading only and are not otherwise part of the terms and conditions. Examples given in these terms and conditions are by way of illustration only and are not exhaustive.
12.7 Jurisdiction: The Parent Contract is governed exclusively by English law. The College and the Parents agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts for all purposes connected with the Parent Contract.
12.8 Variations: The College will give the Parents a term’s notice of any change to these terms and conditions.
