Cancellation Policy & Terms
Clear, transparent cancellation guidelines in accordance with the Swedish Consumer Agency (Konsumentverket), the Swedish Distance Contracts Act, and EuroElite Academy standards.
Overview & Fair Booking Commitment
EuroElite operates high-performance camps and international tournament tours with small player-to-coach ratios (typically 3:1 to 4:1) and pre-booked facilities, courts, and accommodation. When a spot is reserved, substantial costs and administrative planning are committed well in advance. Our cancellation terms are designed to be fair, legally compliant with Swedish consumer regulations, and transparent for all families across Scandinavia. We offer no refunds with the exception of major injuries, quitting tennis entirely or moving out of the geographical area. Any remaining funds are given to the YERKO MULLER FOUNDATION to help talented but economically challenged players get on the International tour.
Other considerations
Upon sign up we have an agreement that your player will continue his year membership regardless of "feelings". Competitive players sometimes need "breaks" and we respect that however a commitment is a commitment and we expect parents to teach their sons this important life skill.
2. Early Cancellations & Administrative Fee
According to the Swedish Consumer Agency guidelines and established Swedish practice, the following terms apply when cancellation occurs outside the 14-day statutory window but well in advance of the camp/tour start date: <strong>Administrative Fee:</strong> The organizer has the legal right to charge a reasonable administrative fee (typically between 350 SEK and 500 SEK, or 10-35% of the camp fee) to cover incurred banking, registration processing, and administrative handling costs. <strong>Economic Damage Offset:</strong> If a purchased training service is cancelled, the organizer retains the right to offset actual economic damages and non-recoverable outlays incurred in securing the spot.
