Responsibility for payment falls on each member and is due prior to membership commencing. If membership has begun, the payment must be made as soon as possible to avoid any cancellations or downgrade.

Cancellation

Members may cancel their membership at any time, but no refunds will be provided for early termination during the year. To participate in some club activities a valid membership will need to remain in place until the event has finished.

Suspension & Expulsion

The club reserves the right to suspend or expel members who violate any club policies or engage in any activity that would bring disrepute to the club. Depending on the severity of situations we may be required to take immediate action or involve any legal authorities.

No refunds will be provided for any subscriptions under these circumstances and any events that a member may be booked onto will be refunded in line with the refund policy. Members may be able to re-apply after the suspension period and this will be judged on a case-by-case basis and will be dependent on the reason for suspension.

Skiing and snowboarding are inherently risky activities that involve potential hazards, including but not limited to falls, collisions, injuries, death, equipment failures, variable weather conditions, and terrain-related dangers such as avalanches. By joining the Muslim Ski Club (MSC) and participating in any club-organized activities, you acknowledge, accept, and agree to the following:

Assumption of Risk

Participation in MSC-organised skiing, snowboarding, and related activities is entirely voluntary, and members assume all risks associated with such activities, including those arising from their own actions, the actions of others, weather conditions, or unforeseen circumstances.

Release of Liability

MSC, its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, partners, affiliates, sponsors, and associated third parties shall not be held liable for any injuries, damages, losses, accidents, or fatalities that may occur as a result of Snowsport activities, including but not limited to on-piste, off-piste, indoor and outdoor ski lessons, competitions, backcountry skiing, or any club-organized event, trip, or excursion both in the UK and globally.

Insurance Requirement

Members must obtain and maintain appropriate travel, health, and ski insurance that covers the relevant skiing and snowboarding activities they may be taking part in, including off-piste skiing, emergency rescue, medical expenses, repatriation, and trip cancellations due to unforeseen circumstances such as injury or adverse weather conditions. MSC strongly advises all members to verify their insurance coverage before engaging in any club activities.

Weather & External Disruptions

MSC is not responsible for weather conditions, ski resort closures, lift malfunctions, or external disruptions (e.g., travel delays, flight cancellations, or pandemic-related restrictions). No refunds, reimbursements, or rescheduling will be provided due to such circumstances. Flexibility during any type of event, such as ski trips, is required. If plans must change entirely due to adverse weather, MSC will try it's best to arrange alternatives where possible, however, this may not always be possible.

Physical Fitness & Safety Responsibility

- Avoiding reckless behaviour, skiing under the influence of any substance including medication, or engaging in high-risk activities beyond their skill level.

MSC does not guarantee the same experience for everyone across any of the trips as each individual member will progress at their own pace.

MSC may facilitate access or promote third-party providers, including but not limited to ski instructors, tour operators, equipment rental companies, accommodation providers, clothing brands, digital platforms, service providers etc. However:

- MSC does not endorse, warrant, or assume responsibility for the quality, safety, or effectiveness of third-party products or services.
