The University cannot be held responsible for any costs or complications arising from a sports injury. The University will not enter into any negotiations with medical doctors or accept any responsibility for any accounts or expenses incurred.
If you require emergency medical treatment, the University will get medical assistance for you, but you will pay all costs relating to the treatment.
There will be no refund on your student account for kit ordered. If, for some reason, you stop your sport there is no refunds on club fees.
1.1. The University and its clubs shall not be liable for any non-performance arising from circumstances beyond its reasonable control (i.e. a force majeure event), for instance but without limitation: natural disasters, pandemics, water restrictions, loadshedding and government-imposed lockdowns.
1.2. The club may optionally procure an alternate venue or make other arrangements for sporting activities as it deems appropriate in the circumstances as satisfactory substitute performance to its members.
1.3. If the club needs to terminate the season (or all matches or events for the club are cancelled) due to a force majeure event, the club may at its discretion refund its members a pro rata portion of their membership or capitation fees paid for the remaining term of the season (or for those number of cancelled league matches or events) insofar as any such funds paid actually remain available to the club after the deduction of expenses already incurred for the benefit of members during the season.
