2. To register for the Scheme, sports clubs must be amateur organisations registered with their recognised governing body or local authority, and cater for children under the age of 18.
3. Applications from organisations other than schools and registered children’s sports clubs will not be accepted.
4. There is no limit to the number of items or coaching sessions which may be ordered, but the Scheme is restricted to one order per school or club. Second or subsequent orders will be disqualified and the vouchers banked for use in Sport for Schools and Clubs 2008.
5. The nominal cash value of each Tesco Sport for Schools and Clubs Voucher (“Voucher”) is 0.001p.

8. Orders will only be accepted on the official order form from either your school specific mailing pack or from www.tesco.com/schools and in accordance with the ‘Ordering’ instructions on page 6 of this catalogue. The original order form cannot be amended once we have received it. Equipment correctly supplied in accordance with the order cannot be exchanged unless faulty. Statutory rights are not affected.
9. Vouchers will be issued at Tesco stores and petrol filling stations (excluding ROI and Esso petrol filling stations associated with Tesco Express stores). One voucher will be issued for each £10 spent in a single transaction, excluding purchases from Concessions and Tobacco Kiosk. Vouchers cannot be claimed for purchases of prescription medicines, infant formulae, National Lottery tickets and scratchcards.

11. Vouchers can only be redeemed in accordance with the instructions in this catalogue and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.
12. The number of Vouchers required for each item is clearly stated in this catalogue. In addition to the Vouchers, an additional £1 per order is payable to Tesco by schools and clubs for the equipment (for which an invoice will be issued - please refer to clause 13 below).
13. By participating in the Scheme, schools and clubs give consent to Tesco to use their details in local press and publicity materials to promote the Scheme in consideration for the sum of £1.
14. The sum payable by Tesco to a school or club in paragraph 13 will be offset against the amount payable by the school or club to Tesco in paragraph 12 such that no money need pass physically between Tesco and the school or club. VAT-registered schools or clubs should consider their invoicing obligations.
15. Vouchers are, and will remain at all times, the property of Tesco Stores Limited and may only be redeemed under the Tesco Sport for Schools and Clubs Scheme.

24. Schools and clubs shall be responsible for supporting each coaching session with appropriate staffing level (at least one member of staff must be present at all times throughout the coaching session) and shall be required to supply basic training facilities. If the school or club does not provide the appropriate staffing levels mentioned, the coach may have to stop the session immediately due to health and safety and the remainder of the session will be void.
