2. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU

The list of Franchisees and their territories can be found here:
https://www.wowworldgroup.com.au/find-a-class
2.2 How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to accept it, or when you receive a booking confirmation if you book via our website, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us (the “Contract”).
2.3 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this (including why we cannot accept your order), and will not charge you for the Services.
2.4 If you continually cancel orders placed with us or breach our terms. We understand that there may be many valid reasons for you to cancel or request to change the date and time of your Class place. However, the nature of our Classes means there are limited spaces, and we rely on customers keeping to their arranged Classes where possible. If you continually cancel your Class place without a good reason, we reserve the right, at our absolute discretion, to not accept further orders from you. We also may at our absolute discretion, not accept further orders where you have previously committed a material breach, or repeated breaches of these terms (be that with the same or a different Franchisee to which an order is now being placed).
2.5 Intellectual property rights belong to us. All intellectual property rights in our Classes or any other Services, including any materials provided to you in our provision of the same belongs to us or our third party licensors. Unless otherwise permitted by these terms, you must not permit any other person to use or benefit from any materials or information provided to you in the course of us providing you with our Services.
2.6 Photography and media use. Parents are welcome to take photos and videos of their child throughout any of our Classes, and to share these on social media or with their friends and family. However, this is at the sole discretion of the Class Leader, who may withdraw this right at any time where a parent is acting unreasonably (for example, preventing or delaying us providing the Class, taking excessive amounts of photos, videoing whole segments of our Classes, or taking photos or videos of other children without their parent’s permission).
3. OUR SERVICES
3.1 Services may vary slightly from their description on the website. The descriptions of the Services on our website are for indicative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to describe the Services accurately, we cannot guarantee that our Services will not vary slightly between Franchisees.
3.2 You confirm that you and your child are able to take part in our Classes. By placing an order or attending a Class, you agree that both you and any child under your care or supervision are able to take part in our Classes or any other Services which you order from us, and that it would not be harmful to either you or your child’s health, safety, comfort or physical condition to do so. Please note, we will not be liable for any loss, injury or damage suffered where you do not tell us about a medical condition, or you or the child do an activity which you are aware (or should have been aware) would, or might be, detrimental to you or the child.
3.3 You and your child use our Services at your own risk. You and any child for which you are responsible use our Services and attend our Classes at your own risk and you are responsible for supervising any child in your care at all times (including during Classes). As long as we have provided the Services with reasonable skill and care, we will not be liable to you for any loss, damage or injury suffered by you or a child for whom you are responsible as a consequence of you not following our instructions during the provision of our Classes or Services.
3.4 You shall not allow your child to attend a Class if they are ill. You must not bring your child to a class in the following circumstances:

3.5 You must comply with our policies and procedures. You must comply with, and ensure that your child complies with, any policies and procedures which we communicate to you from time to time in relation to the Services. This may include (but shall not be limited to) policies in relation to health and safety.
4. PROVIDING THE SERVICES
4.1 Services may vary from time to time. Our Services (including the timetables for, and the content of, our Classes) will be as set out on our website on the relevant Franchisee’s page. Please note that the provision of our Services may be subject to change from time to time and may vary between Franchisees.
4.2 Classes may be provided individually or as a term. When you place an order, depending on the options offered by your local class leader, you may be able to purchase individual Classes, or you may be able to purchase a set of Classes together (a “Term”).
4.3 When you purchase Classes individually. Each Class will be provided on the date stated in our acceptance of your order.
4.4 When you purchase a Term of Classes. Your Term will commence on the date of the first Class. We will supply our Services to you until either the Services are completed and your Term expires, or this Contract is otherwise brought to an end by you or us under these terms.
4.5 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the Services is delayed by an event outside our control, then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. These steps may include offering rescheduled dates for the Classes, offering a credit for the value of missed classes, or offering Online Classes as a suitable alternative. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay and we are not able to reschedule the Classes, provide a credit for the value of missed classes, or provide a suitable alternative in the form of Online Classes, you may contact us to end the Contract and receive a refund for any Services you have paid for but not received.
4.6 If you do not allow us to provide Services. If you miss a Class, we are unable to provide a refund for any Services which you paid for but did not receive.
4.7 What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the Services to you, for example, the names of any children attending our Classes, existing medical conditions, and any immunisations given to your child. We will not be responsible for supplying the Services late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
4.8 Your rights if we suspend the supply of Services. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the Services, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend the Services for any substantial period of time, we will take steps which may include offering rescheduled dates for the Classes, offering a credit for the value of missed classes, or offering Online Classes as a suitable alternative. If we are unable to offer any of the above options, we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for Services while they are suspended.
4.9 Your rights if we withdraw the supply of Services. We will contact you at least 7 days in advance to tell you we will be withdrawing the supply of Services in your territory, and will inform you if there is an alternative Class Leader who can provide the Services to you. Where an alternative Class Leader is available, you have the right to:
4.9.1 accept the Services being provided by an alternative Class Leader;
4.9.2 request that your Services are provided by any of our other Class Leaders, a list of which can be found here: https://www.wowworldgroup.com.au/find-a-class (the acceptance of such a request being at our complete discretion); or
4.9.3 cancel the Contract as per your rights under these terms. If we withdraw the Services and we cannot provide an alternative Class Leader, we will cancel the Contract and refund any sums you have paid in advance for Services which will not be provided.
4.10 We may also suspend supply of the Services if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the Services when you are supposed to under these terms and you still do not make payment within 7 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we have the discretion to suspend supply of the Services until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the Services.
