14.1
Initial 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 the Pupil 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 the Pupil. It then expires. To exercise this statutory right to cancel, the Parents must inform the College of their decision to cancel the Parent Contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or email to the Master) before the end of the cancellation period. A letter sent by email to the Master must be sent to the Master’s email address shown on the College’s website. 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.

A notice sent to the Master or the Pupil’s Head of School by email must be sent to their email address shown on the College’s website. In the case of a notice of withdrawal of the Pupil from the College by the Parents, the notice must be signed or emailed by each of the Parents (unless the College agrees otherwise in writing). Notices given by the College: Notices given by the College to the Parents under the Parent Contract will be sent by the College by post and/or email to the postal and/or email address in its records.

A notice that is sent by the College via ‘DulwichPost’ shall be treated as having been sent by email.
