Terms & Conditions for participating in any DerDieDas Inc. program: 

​

General – all programs
● As a participating family I am aware of and will follow DerDieDas Inc.’s Child Safe Standards, COVID-19 protocols and its Code of Conduct.

● I will remind my child/ren to treat all property with high respect and inform a tutor/ adult in case of any damage.
● The full enrolment fee must be paid prior to the start of a term/ event to be able to participate.
● DerDieDas does not provide a refund if a child does not attend a session. This does not apply if DerDieDas cancels a session. In the latter, DerDieDas will either provide a credit or refund. The only exception is where a half term option was booked, in which case no credit or refund will be given.

● DerDieDas does not provide a refund for a language test for the SchulPro program, if the child does not pass this test.

● When reasonable efforts have not been able to resolve difficult situations, and it will likely be in the best interest of the child, and other participating children, DerDieDas reserves the right to cancel a child’s enrollment in a  program. While the decision will not be taken lightly, it would be likely in the following circumstances:
          o Continued disruptive, dangerous or aggressive behaviour by students or their parents
          o Breach of our terms and conditions
          o Failure to pay fees within a reasonable timeframe
Any fees paid or payable will not be refunded.
● DerDieDas programs are not held on Public Holidays and in Victorian School Holidays. 
● DerDieDas does not accept sick children in any of their programs. I agree that in cases where my child’s illness is contagious, I will contact the relevant DerDieDas group coordinator to advise that my child will not be attending. If my child becomes sick during the session, I will leave/collect my child as required. 
● DerDieDas respects your privacy and uses any gathered information to assist in ensuring the programs are relevant and useful to your child, and in order to comply with certain laws and regulations. Any personal information gathered from you or about your child will not be provided to any 3rd party unless required by law.
● DerDieDas may disclose your information to service providers, agents and contractors (e.g. tutors) from time to time to help to provide services to you or as required or authorised by law.
● DerDieDas takes reasonable precautions to prevent the loss or misuse of your personal information.
● You have the right to access most personal information DerDieDas holds about your or your child and seek its correction. Please contact us via email DerDieDasMelbourne@gmail.com to ask for access to your information, or if you have a complaint concerning your information privacy.
● I give permission for DerDieDas to take photos and videos of my child when involved in the learning experiences provided in the program to share only within the group of participating families of the child´s enrolled course. This may be via a WhatsApp group, Email or the DerDieDas newsletter “Post”, whichever is applicable. 
● If photos of other children are shared with my family, I agree not to post these photos in a public forum such as Facebook, Instagram, or other forms of social media.
● DerDieDas will seek further written permission for any photos of children to be used in any promotional and advertising material (e.g. on DerDieDas Inc.’s website). 
● I am expected to get involved with the DerDieDas community through ongoing or occasional volunteering tasks. 

​

Medical – all programs
● If required, DerDieDas will call an ambulance at the cost of the sick/ injured child´s guardians.
● I agree that in the event of my child contracting an infectious disease he/ she will be excluded from the program for
          o the period recommended by my doctor, or government advice in terms of COVID-19, 
          o the recommended minimum exclusion periods for infection conditions for children centres as per the                              “Staying Healthy in Childcare” publication from the National Health and Medical Research Council.
● If requested by DerDieDas, I will provide a medical certificate/ clearance before my child returns to a session.
● DerDieDas does not hold any accident insurance for children or parents and it is the carer’s responsibility to organise appropriate insurance if wished.

For Rappelkiste
● A caretaker must always be present at all sessions and is responsible for their child/ their children.

For KiGa and SchulPro
● Only people registered on this form as a parent/ guardian, or the additional registered emergency contact, can collect a child. If it is necessary for someone else to pick up my child, it is my responsibility to notify the relevant DerDieDas group coordinator/ tutor prior to pick up via SMS or email and, where possible, introduce the person prior to pick up.
● In case of a late pick up: DerDieDas must be notified as soon as possible of late collection so that they can arrange for facilitators/ tutors to stay with the child. In cases of repeated late pickups, DerDieDas will charge the guardian(s) a late fee of $1/minute for the first $5 minutes, and $5/minute thereafter. 
● Where a DerDieDas appointed person or other carer is asked to administer any form of medication (including creams and lotions), I will sign authorisation to do so. 
● I will provide medications, etc., in the original container/packaging, clearly labelled with my child’s name on it.
● If my child is anaphylactic or asthmatic, I will provide an EpiPen, reliever puffer or any other medical device together with the medical action plan.
● I give permission for my child to have sunscreen applied when the UV rating is 3 and above as recommended by the Cancer Council of Australia.

​

For KiGa ONLY
● I understand that I am expected to volunteer in sessions (about 3-4 times per term) or as agreed otherwise.
