RMLSL reserves the right to reject entry to a Customer’s child at a Course at any time even after acceptance of a booking if RMLSL becomes aware that the information provided by the Customer in the Pre-Course Information Form is misleading, inaccurate or incorrect or the Customer fails to make payment of the RMLSL Fee as detailed in Clause 5.
