The Service

We provide an independent online service which enables you (1) to research and purchase family events and activities and other products or services provided by third parties (“Third Party Services”), and (2) purchase goods and digital content (together, "Products") from us. 

The Kidadl service is free for you to use. We may receive a fee and/or commission from Sellers (defined below) when you use our service to purchase Third Party Services.

Kidadl may also be used by, and you may be, a Seller (defined below), an expert in respect of goods or services features on Kidadl, or an advertiser or reviewer of goods or services (in which cases you may be subject to a separate agreement with us governing the provision of such services).

Tickets for Third Party Services

Our service allows you to purchase tickets for Third Party Services from third party sellers (“Sellers'') through Kidadl. We are not sellers of such tickets or suppliers of such Third Party Services, the Seller is the seller and supplier of any such Third Party Services. We advertise tickets on Kidadl as agent of the Sellers. 

To make a purchase of Third Party Services, you can click on the link for the relevant Third Party Service. Once the order has been accepted and your card has been charged you will receive an email containing details of the Third Party Services you have purchased, including your order details and e-tickets where applicable. The contract between you and the Seller in relation to the Third Party Service(s) ordered will only be formed when the Seller sends you such email. 

When you purchase tickets from a Seller, we will not process your payment on behalf of the Seller and your payment will be made to the Seller or their third party payments processor as applicable, and we will have no liability to you except as set out in Section 20. The Seller may pay to us a commission for sales of Third Party Services advertised on Kidadl.

When you request information about tickets, we may temporarily reserve them for a brief period of time in order to allow you to make your purchase. If you do not complete your purchase before the time is up, we cannot guarantee that those tickets will still be available for purchase after the temporary reservation has expired.

Third Party Services, available for sale through Kidadl may be modified or removed at any time. This includes changes in availability and the price payable for any Third Party Services. These changes will be made without notice to you and we shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of tickets that previously featured on Kidadl. This shall not apply to any orders unless the Seller has to postpone or cancel or otherwise change the Third Party Services you have purchased in which case the Seller will contact you directly to discuss this, in accordance with the contract for purchase between you and the Seller.  

The Kidadl store

You may order certain Products made available through the Website directly from Kidadl. 

If you do so, you enter into a contract for the purchase of such a Product with us. You may make a purchase at any time by clicking through to the link displayed on the services. Once the order has been accepted and your card has been charged you will receive an email containing details of your order. The contract between you and us in relation to the Product(s) ordered will only be formed when we send you such an email, and we reserve the right to cancel your order up to that point. Prices, availability and quantities are liable to change at any time, and we reserve the right to discontinue any Product at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which you have already been sent such email.

Delivery

In respect of goods, your Product order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the email confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days after the date of the email confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances. 

Your order will be delivered to the delivery address you specify when placing your order. If your delivery address is geographically remote, for example certain outlying islands or other isolated locations, it is possible that we may not be able to deliver there. If that is the case, we will notify you before we accept your order. 

In respect of digital content, your Product will be deemed to be delivered immediately as you may digitally download the relevant Product(s). 

In respect of your order for a Third Party Service, the contract between you and the Seller will set out the delivery date by which your order will be fulfilled.  The Sellers are responsible for delivery of Third Party Services, and Kidadl shall not be liable to you except as set out in section 20.  

Risk and ownership

The Product(s) ordered will be at your risk from the time of delivery. Ownership of the Product(s) ordered will also pass to you on delivery, provided full payment of all sums due in respect of the Product(s), including any delivery charges, has been received. 

Details of the risk and ownership in respect of Third Party Services shall be set out in the contract between you and the Seller. 

Payments

You must make any payments via a debit or credit card that you own or are authorised to use. You will be prompted to enter your card details in the sign up process and during the checkout process.

Once you have entered your card details, our third party payment processor may store these details securely for future use with your permission. You acknowledge that your details may be subject to online verification and fraud checks, and it is not our responsibility if you fail to pass these checks. Please note, it is possible that your card issuer may charge you an online handling fee or processing fee. We and the relevant Seller (if relevant) are not responsible for this. 

Prices include VAT and booking fees but exclude delivery costs (where relevant), which will be added (at the cost shown) to the total amount due once you have selected your chosen different delivery method.

Cancellation, refunds and remedies

Nothing in these Terms shall limit your legal rights. 

Tickets for Third Party Services

Third Party Services sold and supplied by Sellers shall be subject to the contract between you and the Seller. 

However, generally, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations ("CCRs") contain an exemption to contracts for leisure activities (such as the sale of tickets) and therefore we note there will be no withdrawal right in respect of such contracts between you and the Seller. If you have any queries about this or want to arrange for refunds for tickets, please correspond with the relevant Seller. We cannot guarantee that you will receive a refund but we will assist you by coordinating with the Seller on your behalf. 

Products

Where Products have been personalised e.g. your name or greeting has been printed on the Products, no withdrawal rights under the CCRs are available. 

When you purchase Products which comprise digital content, you consent to the immediate supply of such digital content and acknowledge that your right of withdrawal under the CCRs will be lost following the purchase.  

As a result, we do not offer refunds on the Products detailed above unless:

a)      there is an error with the price we calculated for your order, in which case we will contact you and you can either (i) pay, or (ii) be refunded the difference in price, or (iii) cancel your order and we will provide a full refund.

b)      your order is damaged or faulty when delivered to you or has developed a fault, in which case you may have one or more legal remedies available to you, depending on when you make us aware of the problem, in accordance with your legal rights.

If you believe a Product was delivered damaged or faulty or has developed a fault, you should inform us as soon as possible, preferably in writing, giving your name, address and order reference.

We will only issue refunds via the method of payment used to make purchases. If we refund you, you will have thirty days in which to notify us that you have rejected the refund, but if you do not do so, you will be deemed to have accepted the refund in full and final settlement of any and all claims relating to such purchase.

In the event of any loss or damage to your data, your sole and exclusive remedy shall be that we use our reasonable endeavours to restore the lost or damaged data from the latest back-up of such data. We shall not be responsible for any loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure of data caused by any third party.

We don't promise that your access to Kidadl, or the content will be delivered uninterrupted, timely or error-free, or that Kidadl will be free from viruses or other harmful properties. You are responsible for implementing satisfactory safeguards and procedures to make sure any files you obtain through Kidadl are free from such contaminants or other harmful properties.

Whilst we have taken reasonable steps to depict Products as accurately as possible through the photographs and other images featured on the Services, the detailing (such as colour, pattern and texture, etc.) you see on-screen will depend on your monitor and, as such, may not exactly reflect the actual detailing of a Product when you receive it.

Any information on the Services regarding sizing of Products is included as a guide only. If you are in any doubt as to the size of any Product you require, we recommend that you contact us prior to placing an order.

At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents. 

We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it's important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family. 

Kidadl provides inspiration for everything from family days out to online classes, arts, crafts and science experiments. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.

Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.

(C) Arbitration.

  1. Generally. Except as described in Section24(C) 2 and 24(C)3, you and Kidadl agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms, the Website, or communications from us will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND KIDADL ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

  1. Exceptions. Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
  2. Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 24(C) within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to Kidadl Limited, Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, The Stable Yard Vicarage Road, Stony Stratford, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England, MK11 1BN  that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Website, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration] (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once Kidadl receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 24(C) will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 21. The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
  3. Arbitrator. This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between us, is subject the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at +1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Kidadl.  
  4. Commencing Arbitration. Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Kidadl’s address for Notice is: Kidadl Limited, The Stable Yard Vicarage Road, Stony Stratford, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England, MK11 1BN. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) identify the name or account number of the party making the claim; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Kidadl may commence an arbitration proceeding. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Kidadl will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000 or if Kidadl has received 25 or more similar demands for arbitration, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules and the other party may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to AAA.
  5. Arbitration Proceedings. Any arbitration hearing will take place in the county and state of your residence address unless we agree otherwise or, if the claim is for US$10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephonic or video hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the Jams rules in the county (or parish) of your residence/billing address. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Kidadl must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. 
  6. Arbitration Relief. Except as provided in Section 24(C)8, the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Kidadl before an arbitrator was selected, Kidadl will pay to you the higher of: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator and (b) US$10,000. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
  7. No Class Actions. YOU AND KIDADL AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Kidadl agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.  
  8. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Kidadl makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Kidadl’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with Kidadl will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
  9. Enforceability. If Section 24(C)8 or the entirety of this Section 24(C) is found to be unenforceable, or if Kidadl receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 24(C) will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 21 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
