Distance Contracts 13.1 Fourteen (14) day Cancellation Rights: The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (“the Regulations”) apply to various contacts made between businesses and consumers, including the Parent Contract. If the Parents accept a place for their son at the College without having had a face to face meeting with a member of College staff, the Parents have the right (under the Regulations) to cancel the Parent Contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The cancellation period lasts for 14 days after the Parents accept a place at the College for their son. It then expires. To exercise this right to cancel, the Parents must inform Dulwich College, Dulwich Common, London SE21 7LD of their decision to cancel the Parent Contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or email) before the end of the cancellation period. If the Parents cancel the Parent Contract within the cancellation period, the College will reimburse the acceptance deposit and any other payments the Parents have made to the College pursuant to the Parent Contract. The College will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which the College is informed about of the Parents’ decision to cancel. Where possible and unless the Parents have expressly agreed otherwise, the College will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as the Parents used to pay the College. In any event, the Parents will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. For the avoidance of doubt, the right to reimbursement does not include the registration fee paid to the College before the Parent Contract is made.
