POLICY OVERVIEW

This policy applies to registration fees paid directly to the Clarington Minor Lacrosse Association either online or in person.

 

The principle behind our refund policy is to allow a reasonable period of time following registration for parents/players to withdraw, while still safeguarding the long-term financial stability of our programs

CMLA commits to program expenditure based on registrations and these expenses are not recoverable to the program if/when a member withdraws.

 

POLICY

The individual who paid the registration fee must make all refund requests in writing to the CMLA Registrar and Treasurer. Please allow 4-6 weeks for refunds to be processed.

An administrative fee of $50.00 ($32.10 non-refundable OLA Fee + a $17.90 processing fee) will be charged on approved refunds. The amount of set fee will be set annually by the CMLA.

 

1. A paid registration fee shall be fully refunded in the event the CMLA is unable to provide “the opportunity to play lacrosse at the appropriate age level” due to lack of participants. No administrative fee shall be withheld in this case.

2. A paid registration fee shall be partially refunded (pro-rated) in the event programming is cancelled due to municipal, provincial and/or federal mandates e.g. COVID-19. An administrative fee shall be withheld in this case.
