Please contact us with any questions or concerns.

Photographic pictures and digital download purchased can be refunded only if the content has not been downloaded from the link Future Cheer will have sent you or sent out in the post. Once the digital photo has been purchased and downloaded, or USB memory stick sent out, the purchase agreement, in such, has become non-refundable. This is because the image can not then be “unsent or returned” as the ownership of the digital file in its entirety is now in the hands of the person downloading the digital file or can be copied.

Once purchased and if you are unhappy with an image then please contact Future Cheer who will look at any complaint sympathetically and will exchange the digital photo if found to be incorrect or faulty. We are always willing to resolve any concerns you may have should there be a fault and always recommend that you inspect all the photos you are thinking of buying online within this website or at an event before you make any purchase so that you are completely happy and in the full knowledge of what you are purchasing.

Competition Spectator Ticket refunds will not be accepted after 24 hours before the start of the event & competition.
The purchase of a Spectator Ticket allows entry to the competition or session on the day specified. Future Cheer’s priority is with the spectator and will provide seating at each venue for spectators. Purchasing a Spectator Ticket allows entry to the event and is no way a guarantee of a seat or that a group or team can all sit together. Spectator Ticket Wristbands must be worn at all times on entering the event.

Individual payments are not accepted. One payment must be made for each program’s competition entry. Competition entry fees will not be refunded after the on-time registration deadline for the competition has closed. Refunds prior to the on-time competition entry deadline will only be refunded to the program in the same manner that they were paid. No refunds will be issued to an individual.

Coaches will only be issued to coaches with valid coaching qualifications. Click here to view all accepted coaching qualifications. Junior Coaches may not take athletes into warm-up unsupervised – there must be a fully qualified coach with them. The registration system will be locked down for adding coaches two weeks prior to each event. NO alterations or additions to your coaches can be made to your registration after that date. Any coaches not added at this point in time may be asked to purchase a spectator ticket to gain entry to the event and will not be allowed into warm-up. We may on occasion issue a coach with a Temporary Coaches pass. Coaches will only be issued with one temporary coaches pass per season.

In the instance of inclement weather, Future Cheer will seek advice from agencies such as the Environment Agency, Local Authorities, Highway England, Traffic Scotland & Traffic Wales; regarding safety and best practice. In these instances, Future Cheer will always do our best to hold the event or competition as planned. In the event that Future Cheer have to cancel an event or competition due to inclement weather then registration fees and spectator tickets will be refunded or can be credited to a program’s account and transferred to another event or competition within the same season. If an event goes ahead but a program is unable to attend due to inclement weather, Future Cheer may transfer that program’s registration to another event or competition within the same season. Refunds will not be given if the event goes ahead as planned (this does not negate the spectator ticket refund policy stated above).

Any Official Complaints should be directed to Tessa Crow in writing, either by email to fcadmin@btconnect.com or by post to Future Cheer Ltd, 65 Upper Pillory Down, Little Woodcote Estate, Carshalton, Surrey, SM5 4BP.

Future Cheer reserve the right to refuse anyone from taking photographs and videos at any events and competitions and at any time, to protect the privacy of Athletes, Spectators, Teams and Programs. Also to stop professional photographers from using images for money and personal gain and to protect its own employed photographers and photosystem.

At Future Cheer, we are happy for you as a parent or teacher to film and take photos of your own children and teams using phones and amateur camera equipment and camcorders (we in fact encourage you to do this and share with official Future Cheer social media accounts). Future Cheer prohibits the filming of teams that you are not affiliated with or those that you do not have express permission from in advance.

The use of flash photography, continuous flash or any other lighting during competition is prohibited as this can produce glare and be distracting for competitors. This includes small flashes such as (but not limited to) those from a camera phone. Any person using flash photography of any kind will be asked to stop and may be asked to leave the competition halls. Flash photography is allowed outside the competition halls and during awards ceremonies at advised photo opportunities within them.

Professional Camera Lens usage – Use of telephoto/long distance and wide aperture rated professional camera lenses is forbidden at Future Cheer events unless prior consent from Future Cheer Ltd has been given (please see below). This is to comply with our child protection and privacy policy (meaning long-distance photos can not be unknowingly taken of other people, especially minors, without their knowledge). The easiest and most effective way to do this is by restricting the use of specialist professional photography lens equipment. A definition of this can be found below. Future Cheer reserves the right to determine if equipment falls under this category based on inspection and ask users to desist from usage at any time.

Forbidden professional lens equipment is defined as:

• Any lens (including non-telephoto) with a fixed or zoom focal length over 105mm.
• Any lens (including non-telephoto) with an aperture rating of 2.8 or wider (enabling lower light photography).
• All professional telephoto lenses regardless of aperture rating (for example canon “white” telephoto lenses, Nikon N telephoto series lenses or similar high end lenses from other brands)

If you wish to use the above professional equipment at Future Cheer events you must apply for a “Photo Pass” and provide a recent (within the last 12 months) enhanced DBS check. Details of this are available on request and is subject to approval by Future Cheer.

Future Cheer works with cheer & dance specialist professional photographers at all of our events to ensure you have access to the highest quality and value for money professional photos of your teams and children. All our photographers are DBS checked and undergo specialist training for the cheer competition environment. Photographers do not get access to any high resolution photos they have taken and these are restricted to a specially designed system and servers controlled by Future Cheer. Further details of this are available on request by contacting fcadmin@btconnect.com.
