Terms and Conditions of Registration

As a registered member of a BJP club I accept and understand I have the right to learn the BJP Syllabus, attend class and compete in any individual competitions run by BJP .  This also applies to Team competitions providing my club can provide a team in my age/status category.  I also understand that competition is not compulsory and I have the right to choose not to compete if I so desire.

I understand that once my registration is complete, there will be no refund available.

Once  registered with a BJP club I understand and accept that I may only belong to one club and cannot apply for transfer to another club after 15th March this year unless I have a legitimate change of residential address bringing me closer to the club I wish to transfer to, or if my present club can no longer offer a BJP syllabus class for me.   

I agree to abide by all current BJP rules.

I agree to abide by any BJP directives issued at any time.

Disclosure:
BJP will use the information provided on this form, as well as other information it obtains from you to administer BJP Physie, its events and competitions throughout Australia, and in any activities in which you participate through BJP Physie, and to care for, and supervise, activities in which you are involved in.  In some cases this may require BJP Physie to disclose the information to BJP affiliated clubs.  In the event of a medical or child safeguarding issue arising, BJP Physie may disclose certain information to doctors or other medical specialists and/or to police, children’s social care, the courts and/or probation officers and, potentially, to legal and other advisers involved in an investigation.

I accept BJP’s disclosure policy.

Consent:

I consent to BJP Physie taking recordings, photographs or using my image for these purposes.
