10.2 What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We need certain information from you so that we can arrange the Trip, in particular the information detailed in the Booking Confirmation. If you do not provide this information, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the Contract (and clause 2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for not supplying any part of the Booking if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
11.0 Your rights to end the Contract
11.1 You can always end your Contract with us:
a) If you want to end the Contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 11.2; or
b) In all other cases, see clause 11.3
11.2 Ending the Contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending the Contract for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below, the Contract will end immediately and we will refund any monies due in line with clause 12.2. The reasons are:
a) we have told you about an upcoming change to the Booking or these Terms which you do not agree to (see clause 2);
b) we have told you about an error in the Price or description of the Trip and you do not wish to proceed;
c) there is a risk that the Trip may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
d) we have suspended the Trip for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend the Trip for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 7 days; or
e) you have a legal right to end the Contract because of something we have done wrong.
11.3 Ending the Contract where we are not at fault. Even if we are not at fault you can still end the Contract before the Trip begins but you may have to pay us compensation and cover the cost for any payments we have already made on your behalf for the Trip, such as flight costs. If you want to end the Contract in such an instance, you must contact ISCA in writing immediately to advise them of this. Subject to our agreement the Contract will end immediately and we will refund the Price already paid subject to reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the Contract as set out in clause 12.2.
12.0 How to end the Contract with us (including if you have changed your mind)
12.1 Tell us you want to end the Contract. To end the Contract with us, please let us know as soon as possible by contacting ISCA in writing. We will review the reason given for cancellation and advise you whether your application to cancel has been accepted or not.
12.2 How we will refund you. In the event of valid cancellation of the Contract and provided you have paid the Price in full, you may be entitled to be refunded in accordance with our refund policy as detailed in the Terms. In brief the sum for refund will be determined by the date of valid cancellation:
| Month of cancellation in year of the Trip | % Price refunded |
|---|---|
| May or before | 50% of second payment |
| September or before | 25% of second payment |
| After September | 0% |
For the avoidance of any doubt, since the Deposit is non-refundable, no refund of the Price will be payable if only the Deposit has been paid.
12.3 When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you within 14 days of your telling us you wish to cancel the Contract.
13.0 Our rights to end the Contract
13.1 We may end the Contract if you break it. We may end the Contract at any time by writing to you if:

b) you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the Booking, in particular the information requested in the Booking Confirmation.
13.2 You must compensate us if we end the Contract pursuant to clause 13.1. If we end the Contract in the situations set out in clause 13.1 after full payment of the Price has been made, the refund amount will be determined pursuant to clause 12.2.

Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the Contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if this was explained to you during the sales process. Our total liability to you under this clause 12.1 shall be limited to the Price.
16.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so.This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents, subcontractors or suppliers, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
16.3 You shall indemnify us. You shall indemnify us and keep us indemnified from and against any and all direct and indirect loss, damage, costs, claims, demands or liability arising out of any injury or other loss to us or our employees, agents or our contracted third parties resulting from your or the Participant’s negligence or breach of the Contract or the Participant Code of Conduct unless we are liable for the same under these Terms.

You enter into this agreement in the knowledge that this trip is run independently by ISCA and not sponsored or supported by the participant’s school.
17.0 Travel insurance

20.2 Nobody else has any rights under this Contract. This Contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
20.3 If any provision or part-provision of these Terms is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed deleted, but shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of these Terms.
20.4 If a court finds part of these Terms illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
20.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this Contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this Contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Booking, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
20.6 Which laws apply to this Contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These Terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Booking in the English courts.
