Welcome to the website of Wessex Karate Academy (“we”, “us”, “our”). By using this website, you agree to the following terms and conditions.
1. About our website
This website provides information about our karate club, including classes, training, events, contact details, and club activities.
We aim to keep the information on the website accurate and up to date, but information such as class times, prices and availability may change.
We reserve the right to update or change information on this website without notice.
2. Contact form
Our website includes a contact form that allows you to send an enquiry to the club.
Please provide accurate information when submitting the form. We will use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry and deal with your request.
Please do not use the contact form to send confidential, sensitive or unnecessary personal information.
For information about how we collect and use personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.
3. Ordering clothing and equipment
3.1 Members only
The shop is for current members of Wessex Karate Academy only. Orders placed by anyone who is not a current member (or the parent or guardian of a current junior member) will be rejected.
3.2 How ordering works
Our website lets you place an order for club equipment and clothing (for example uniforms (gi), protective gear and club clothing). No payment is taken online.
Placing an order is a request to buy, and it becomes a confirmed order when we confirm it to you by email, phone or in person.
Please check sizes carefully. Your instructor can help you choose the right size. Where possible, try items on at collection.
3.3 Payment
We do not currently accept online payments through this website.
Payment for equipment and clothing orders is made on collection, using the payment method(s) accepted by the club at the time of collection. Please bring the correct amount where possible.
An order may not be released until payment has been received.
3.4 Collection
Equipment and clothing orders must be collected from the club at an agreed time or during a suitable club session.
If an order is not collected within 30 days of us telling you it is ready, we may cancel it and put the items back into stock.
3.5 Prices and availability
We take care to show correct prices and descriptions, but errors can happen. If we discover an error in the price or availability of your order, we will contact you and you can choose to go ahead at the correct price or cancel.
Items are subject to availability, and we may need to order items in specially, which can take time. We will give you an estimated timescale where we can.
3.6 Equipment Safety
Protective equipment reduces the risk of injury but cannot eliminate it. Please use equipment as instructed and ask your instructor if you are unsure how to fit or use an item. Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for anything else that cannot legally be limited.
3.7 Returns and faulty items
If an item you receive is faulty or does not match what you ordered, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can discuss the issue and, where appropriate, arrange a replacement or other suitable remedy.
For unwanted items, returns or exchanges, please contact the club before returning anything. Some items, particularly personalised or specially ordered items, may not be eligible for return unless they are faulty.
Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights under UK law.
4. Website content
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that the information on this website is accurate. However, we do not guarantee that the website or its content will always be complete, accurate, current or available.
The website may occasionally be unavailable due to maintenance, technical problems or circumstances outside our control.
You may view and use the website for personal and lawful purposes only.
5. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, the content of this website, including text, logos, photographs, graphics and other materials, belongs to or is used with permission by Wessex Karate Academy.

We are not responsible for the content, security or privacy practices of websites operated by third parties.
7. Children and young people
Our karate club may provide activities for children and young people.
Parents or guardians are responsible for ensuring that information supplied to us about a child or young person is accurate and that any required consent is provided.
Our club activities may be subject to separate club rules, policies, waivers, consent forms or safeguarding procedures.
8. Limitation of liability
We will take reasonable care in providing this website and our online ordering facility. However, to the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for losses arising from your use of the website where those losses could not reasonably have been expected.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or your statutory rights as a consumer.

The latest version will be published on this page and will show the date it was last updated.
