Refund Policy
Registration fees are refundable in accordance with this policy:
- A full refund will be made if a child remains on a waiting list or LSO is otherwise unable to place the child on a team.
- Except in the event of a cancellation, postponement or shortening of a sport or season as set forth below, requests for refunds of registration fees shall be subject to the following conditions:
- A full refund will be made if a child is withdrawn prior to team placement.
- Requests for refunds made after team placement but before the beginning of the game season will be subject to a processing fee of (i) $25 if a replacement child is available, or (ii) $50 if no replacement child is available.
- Requests for refunds made after the beginning of the game season will not be honored.
- In the event a sport or season is cancelled by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of LSO prior to the opening day of the season, LSO shall be entitled to retain a percentage of the registration fee (not to exceed 50%) to cover necessary expenses incurred to prepare for the sport or season. In the event a sport or season is shortened by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of LSO, LSO shall be entitled to retain (i) a prorated portion of the registration fee based upon the percentage of the season that is able to be completed, plus (ii) a percentage of the remainder of the registration fee (not to exceed 50%) to cover necessary expenses incurred by LSO. Circumstances beyond the control of LSO shall include, but not be limited to, natural disasters or acts of God; acts of terrorism; war; government acts or orders; epidemics, pandemics or outbreak of communicable disease; quarantines; national or regional emergencies; or any other cause, whether similar in kind to the foregoing or otherwise, beyond LSO's control.
- LSO reserves the right to modify this policy and/or make individual exceptions on a case-by-case basis in its sole and absolute discretion.
