Enrollment, payment, or participation in the program constitutes full acceptance of these Terms and Conditions, even if the parent or guardian has not physically signed the Welcome Packet. The parent or guardian further agrees that the act of completing registration or making payment represents their authorization and agreement to all policies outlined below.
FIRST; MEMBERSHIP CONDITIONS.- By this agreement, the parent or guardian acknowledges and accepts the following conditions and policies of administration, direction, and management established by Sports of Texas LLC / The Exceptional Sports Foundation / Night Ravens Soccer Academy. By accessing, registering, making payment, or participating in the program, you accept each and every one of its clauses, including those that imply a disclaimer in favor of Night Ravens FC, Night Ravens Soccer Academy, The Exceptional Sports Foundation, Sports of Texas LLC, The Ravens, Ironside Active (Hereinafter “The Exceptional Sports Foundation”). As parent or guardian of one or more minors, I act on my behalf and on behalf of the children, when I read and accept this policy. I further declare that none of these rules are contrary to the best interests of the child and I waive, in the future, to all legal actions that may be based in violations of children’s rights, on the occasion of this agreement.
SECOND; CANCELLATIONS.- Cancellations for yearly or contract memberships are considered a breach of contract and, with the exception of relocation as a result of military orders or severe injuries that will not allow the player to continue or complete the season, the contract is considered still in place. For these previous cases documentation will be needed to avoid cancellation fees. Only official documents provided by authorities or authorized providers will be accepted.
All yearly or contract membership cancellations are subject to a $200.00 (two hundred dollars) penalty fee, which will be charged at the time of the cancellation.
If the cancellation or breach of contract was due to breaking of the rules by parent or child, including code of conduct or team rules (caused by the parents or the minor’s wrong behavior) the cancellation will be considered an expulsion from the team. In these cases, it will not be possible to grant money back. Monthly charges will continue until the end of the contract or the cancellation fee will be charged.
The $200 cancellation fee does not apply to weekly memberships, monthly non-commitment memberships, season packages, or promotional memberships advertised as “no contract.” The cancellation fee will not be enforced if the membership was enrolled under a promotion that explicitly states that no contract or no cancellation fee applies.
THIRD; RENEWALS.- Any renewal will be automatically charged. The subscriber will be informed by e-mail 30 days before to the end of the term to accept or refuse the renewal; if no action is taken by the subscriber, The Exceptional Sports Foundation will proceed as if the subscriber has fully and unconditionally accepted the terms of the contract. Membership payment must be made electronically via the nightravensfc.club website, via the nightravensfc.com website or via the soccerravensacademy.club website. Once the payment is confirmed, the renewal will be deemed valid. If the payment is not confirmed, membership will be lost. Prior rate charged for membership will not be honored and current rate and fees will be assessed if Player signs up at a later date. It is the strict responsibility of the parents or guardians to deal with the payment of the membership and the conditions for its renewal.

FIFTH; AUTO-DRAFT MONTHLY CREDIT CARD CHARGE PLAN I hereby authorize Sports of Texas LLC / The Exceptional Sports Foundation / Night Ravens Soccer Academy to charge my debit / credit card monthly tuition fees for The Exceptional Sports Foundation beginning on the registration date and every month for the next twelve (12) months (for yearly memberships) or every month (for monthly memberships), or every week (for weekly memberships).
