Our contract with you

3.1 Our email or other confirmation to you, following your registration with us and/or using the registration screen on our website, with your acceptance as a Digital Member and providing your Supporter ID number is the point at which a contract will come into existence between you and us.

3.3 If we are unable to accept your order or your registration for Digital Membership or Supporter ID, we will inform you of this and if you have ordered a product and / or service and / or digital content we will not charge you. This might be because the product is out of stock, because the event has reached capacity, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because you do not meet our criteria for Digital Membership, because a credit reference we have obtained for you does not meet our minimum requirements, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product and / or service or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

3.4 Once we have assigned you a Supporter ID Number, it will help us if you can tell us the Supporter ID number whenever you contact us about a specific order of goods or services from us.

Digital Membership

4.1 Digital Membership benefits may change from time to time, and can be viewed here.

Changes to Products and Services

5.1 Minor changes to the Digital Membership products. We may change these:

(a) to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and

(b) to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat. These changes will not affect your use of the products and / or services.

5.2 We may update or require you to update digital content, provided that the digital content shall always match the description of it that we provided to you before you registered for it or bought it.

When we will provide the Digital Membership products

6.1 We will supply the services, goods and / or digital content to you until either the services are completed or the subscription expires (if applicable) or you end the contract as described in Clause 7 or we end the contract by written notice to you as described in Clause 9.

6.2 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of products, digital content or services is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

You may contact us to end the contract for a product if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 6 months.

Your rights to end the contract

7.1 You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought or subscribed to, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract.

7.2 If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (d) below the contract will end immediately. The reasons are:

(a) we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to;

(b) we have told you about an error in the price or description of the Digital Membership products or services which you have ordered or subscribed to and you do not wish to proceed;

(c) we have suspended supply of the products and / or services and / or digital content for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 6 months; or

7.3 Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund for a price paid. You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:

(a) digital products after you have started to download or stream these;

(b) services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running.

7.4 Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind (see Clause 7.3), you can still end the contract before it is completed. A contract for goods or digital content is completed when the product is delivered, downloaded or streamed and paid for. A contract for services is completed when we have finished providing the services and you have paid for them. If you want to end the contract in these circumstances, just contact us to let us know. The contract will not end until 1 calendar month after the day on which we receive your request to end the contract. We will refund any advance payment you have made for products which will not be provided to you.

Our Rights to end the Contract

(b) you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the products and / or services;

9.2 We may withdraw Digital Membership services and / or products. We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing products and / or services.

This is a summary of your key legal rights. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06. If your product is goods, for example clothing, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your product your legal rights entitle you to the following:

a) Up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get an immediate refund.
b) Up to six months: if your goods can't be repaired or replaced, then you're entitled to a full refund, in most cases.
c) Up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back.

If your product is digital content, for example a subscription to a music streaming service, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says digital content must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality:

a) If your digital content is faulty, you're entitled to a repair.
b) If the fault can't be fixed, or if it hasn't been fixed within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience, you can get some or all of your money back (if any paid).
c) If you can show the fault has damaged your device and we haven't used reasonable care and skill, you may be entitled to a repair or compensation

If your product is services, for example tickets to a concert, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says:

a) You can ask us to repeat or fix a service if it's not carried out with reasonable care and skill, or get some money back if we can't fix it.
b) If you haven't agreed a price beforehand, what you're asked to pay must be reasonable.
c) If you haven't agreed a time beforehand, it must be carried out within a reasonable time.
Price and payment

11.1 Prices of products, services and / or digital content (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We use our best efforts to ensure that the price of the product / service / digital content advised to you is correct. However please see clause 11.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.

11.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

11.3 It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products, services and / or digital content we sell from time to time may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product, service or digital content's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product, service or digital content's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.

How we may use your Personal Information

12.1 We will only use your personal information as set out in our Digital Membership Privacy Policy, which can be viewed in the appropriate Digital Memberships section of the Club’s website.

Law and Jurisdiction

13.1 These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts.

4.2 You may only sell or transfer the Season Ticket:

(a) to a Guest with the express written consent of the Club given at the Club’s absolute discretion, provided that such sale or transfer is in respect of an individual Match and in consideration of no payment or benefit in excess of the face value of a ticket to that Match and provided further that such transfer does not take place during the course of any business or for the purpose of facilitating any third party’s business; and/or

(b) to any person without the express written consent of the Club, provided that such sale or transfer is in respect of an individual Match and is made via (and in accordance with the terms and conditions of) the Official Ticket Exchange only,

each such resale or transfer is hereby provided to be subject to the Terms and Conditions of Entry which will (save for any rights to transfer under this clause) apply to and bind the recipient of the Season Ticket as if he/she was the original purchaser of the Season Ticket (and where the Season ticket is sold or transferred to a Guest pursuant to clause 4.2.1 you must inform them of this).

If you are convicted of a ticket touting offence, or we reasonably suspect you have committed a ticketing offence, we will notify the FAPL and EFL who may in turn notify other FAPL and/or EFL Clubs and/or the UK Football policing Unit. The information that we share may include your personal details, information about the offence and about ticket purchases (including payment details). We will use this to identify and prevent ticketing offences and disorder at matches.

4.4 The Season Ticket will remain the property of the Club at all times and must be produced together with evidence of your identity if required to do so by any official, steward or employee of the Club or any police officer. The Club reserves the right to require the immediate return of the Season Ticket at any time.

4.5 Any Season Ticket obtained or used in breach of the Terms & Conditions of Use shall be automatically void and all rights conferred or evidenced by such Season Ticket shall be nullified. Misuse of this Season Ticket may result in the holder being refused entry to, or ejected from, the Ground in respect of a particular Match and/or the cancellation and withdrawal of this Season Ticket. In the event of any cancellation and withdrawal in accordance with this clause 4.5, no refund shall be payable to the holder in respect of any unexpired portion of the Season Ticket. The Club further reserves its right to take any legal action against any person(s) as it sees fit in connection with such matters, including a claim for an account of profits made from an unauthorized use of the Season Ticket.

4.7 The Club reserves the right not to accept any ticket that is unreadable due to mutilation of any kind.

5.3 In the event of postponement or abandonment of the Match (or if the Match has, for any reason, to be played out of view of the public) subsequent detail will be posted on www.nufc.co.uk. The club will have no further liability whatsoever, including (but not limited to) any indirect or consequential loss or damage, loss of enjoyment or travel/accommodation costs.

5.4 Season Ticket purchases are non-refundable and no refunds can be made in respect of any matches not attended for any reason whatsoever. It is the responsibility of the Season Ticket holder to ensure that they are aware of the correct dates and kick off times of all fixtures.

Lost or Stolen Season Tickets

6.1 In order to gain admission to the Ground the Season Ticket must be presented at every Match. If applicable, the numbered vouchers must be torn from Season Ticket books in the presence of the turnstile operator/attendant.

6.2 For safety reasons and to avoid congestion, please use the turnstile number(s) printed on the Season Ticket.

6.3 In the event that you forget your Season Ticket in respect of any individual Match, the Club shall not be obliged to admit you or issue any other form of ticket for that Match. If a match-day duplicate ticket is issued, the Club may require payment of a non-refundable administration charge.

6.4 The Club cannot accept any responsibility for a lost or stolen Season Ticket. If you lose your Season Ticket please report this to the Police and to the Newcastle United Box Office immediately. The Club reserves the right not to accept requests for replacement or forgotten, lost or misplaced Season Tickets.

6.5 If, in the Club’s opinion, a Season Ticket is irreparably lost, stolen or destroyed, a duplicate Season Ticket may be issued by the Club as soon as reasonably practicable after the payment of a non-refundable administration charge.

About This Policy

3.1 We currently use CCTV cameras to view and record individuals on and around the Premises. This policy outlines why we use CCTV, how we will use CCTV and how we will process Data recorded by CCTV cameras to ensure we are compliant with Data Protection Law and Best Practice. This policy also explains how to make a subject access request in respect of personal data created by CCTV.

3.2 Sporting, social, charitable, retail, community and entertainment events take place at the Premises. On such occasions, Event Images and/or Competition Images may be captured incidentally (for instance, crowd shots in media coverage) and/or deliberately (for instance, television broadcast, official publicity or commemorative images). This policy outlines how and why we use Event Images and Competition Images and how we will process such Data to ensure we are compliant with Data Protection Law and Best Practice.

3.3 We recognise the information that we hold about individuals is subject to Data Protection Law. Event Images, Competition Images and images of individuals recorded by CCTV cameras at the Premises and/or in the workplace are Personal Data and therefore subject to the Data Protection Law. We are committed to complying with all our legal obligations and seek to comply with Best Practice suggestions from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

3.4 This policy covers all football supporters, Premises attendees, NUFC affiliates, Premises event participants, sporting players, entertainers, Premises event organisers (and their employees and contractors), Premises licensees, NUFC employees, directors, officers, consultants, contractors, freelancers, volunteers, interns, casual workers, zero hours workers and agency workers, and visiting members of the public.

3.5 This policy is non-contractual and does not form part of the terms and conditions of any employment or other contract. We may amend this policy at any time without consultation. The policy will be regularly reviewed to ensure that it meets legal requirements, relevant guidance published by the ICO and industry standards.

3.6 A breach of this policy may, in appropriate circumstances and depending upon the person(s) involved, be treated as a disciplinary matter or referred to an appropriate 3^rd party for further action. For NUFC employees, directors, officers, consultants, contractors, freelancers, volunteers, interns, casual workers, zero hours workers and agency workers – following investigation, a breach of this policy may be regarded as misconduct leading to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.

Personnel Responsible

4.1 The NUFC directors and operational management team have overall responsibility for ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and the effective operation of this policy. Day-to-day management responsibility for deciding what information is recorded, what images are taken, how they will be used and to whom they may be disclosed has been delegated to the Operations Department. Day-to-day operational responsibility for CCTV cameras and the storage of data recorded, Competition Images and Event Images is the responsibility of the Operations Department.

4.2 Responsibility for keeping this policy up to date has been delegated to the Head of Operations and the Head of Safety and Security.

PART 1: CCTV

Reasons for the use of CCTV

1.1 We currently use CCTV around the Premises. Such use is necessary to protect vital interests of individuals and is necessary for legitimate business purposes, including:

(a) to prevent crime and protect buildings and assets from damage, disruption, vandalism, terrorism and other crime;

(b) for the personal safety of all staff, visitors and other members of the public and to act as a deterrent against crime;

(d) to assist in day-to-day management, including ensuring the health and safety of staff and others;

(e) to assist in the effective resolution of disputes which arise in the course of disciplinary or grievance proceedings;

(f) to assist in the defence of any civil litigation, including employment tribunal proceedings;

(g) for insurance purposes and investigating insurance claims;

(h) to assist in the investigation of customer complaints.

This list is not exhaustive and other purposes may be or become relevant.

Monitoring

2.1 CCTV monitors the exterior and interior of the Premises and the perimeter, main entrances and secondary exits, corridors, areas inside the bowl of the stadium, function suites and bars 24 hours a day and this data is continuously recorded.

2.2 Camera locations are chosen to minimise viewing of spaces not relevant to the legitimate purpose of the monitoring. As far as practically possible, CCTV cameras will not focus on private homes, gardens or other areas of private property.

2.3 Surveillance systems, other than body worn camera systems in specific circumstances, will not be used to record sound.

2.4 Images are monitored by authorised personnel 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

2.5 Staff using surveillance systems will be given appropriate training to ensure they understand and observe the legal requirements related to the processing of Data and Personal Data.

How we will operate any CCTV

3.1 Where CCTV cameras are placed in the Premises, we will ensure that signs are displayed at the entrance of the surveillance zones to alert individuals that their image may be recorded prior to any recording taking place. Such signs will contain details of the organisation operating the system, the purpose for using the surveillance system and who to contact for further information, where these things are not obvious to those being monitored.

3.2 Live feeds from CCTV cameras are monitored where this is reasonably necessary, for example to protect health and safety.

3.3 We will ensure that live feeds from cameras and recorded images are only viewed by approved members of staff whose role requires them to have access to such data. This may include event control personnel and HR staff involved with NUFC internal disciplinary or grievance matters. Recorded images will only be viewed in designated, secure offices.

Use of data gathered by CCTV

4.1 In order to ensure that the rights of individuals recorded by the CCTV system are protected, we will ensure that data gathered from CCTV cameras is stored in a way that maintains its integrity and security. This may include encrypting the data, where it is possible to do so.

4.2 Given the large amount of data generated by surveillance systems, we may store video footage using a cloud computing system. In such a case, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that any cloud service provider maintains the security of our information, in accordance with Data Protection Law.

4.3 We may engage data processors to process data on our behalf. We will ensure reasonable contractual safeguards in accordance with relevant Data Protection Law are in place to protect the security and integrity of the data.

Requests for disclosure

5.1 We may share data with NUFC group companies and other associated companies or organisations (for example law enforcement agencies, the FA and the Premier League, or another Club) where we consider that this is reasonably necessary for any of the legitimate purposes set out above in Paragraph 1.1 above.

5.2 No images from our CCTV cameras will be disclosed to any other third party, without express permission being given by Head of Safety and Security. Data will not normally be released unless satisfactory evidence that it is required for legal proceedings or under a court order has been produced.

5.3 In other appropriate circumstances, we may allow law enforcement agencies to view or remove CCTV footage where this is required in the detection or prosecution of crime.

5.4 We will maintain a record of all disclosures of CCTV footage.

5.5 No images from CCTV will ever be posted online or disclosed to the media.

Retention and erasure of data gathered by CCTV

6.1 Data recorded by the CCTV system will be stored digitally. Data from CCTV cameras will not be retained indefinitely but will be permanently deleted once there is no reason to retain the recorded information. Exactly how long images will be retained for will vary according to the purpose for which they are being recorded, but in most cases the data will be automatically erased before 30 days has elapsed. For example, where images are being recorded for crime prevention purposes, data will be kept long enough only for incidents to come to light. In all other cases, recorded images will be kept for no longer than 30 days.

6.2 At the end of their useful life, all images stored in whatever format will be erased permanently and securely. Any physical matter such as tapes or discs will be disposed of as confidential waste. Any still photographs and hard copy prints will be disposed of as confidential waste.

Use of additional surveillance systems

7.1 Prior to introducing any new surveillance system, including placing a new CCTV camera in any workplace location, we will carefully consider if they are appropriate by carrying out a privacy impact assessment (PIA).

7.2 A PIA is intended to assist us in deciding whether new surveillance cameras are necessary and proportionate in the circumstances and whether they should be used at all or whether any limitations should be placed on their use.

7.3 Any PIA will consider the nature of the problem that we are seeking to address at that time and whether the surveillance camera is likely to be an effective solution, or whether a better solution exists. In particular, we will consider the effect a surveillance camera will have on individuals and therefore whether its use is a proportionate response to the problem identified.

7.4 No surveillance cameras are currently located in areas where there is an expectation of privacy (for example, in changing rooms). It is intended that this shall remain the case, unless, in very exceptional circumstances, it is judged by us to be necessary to deal with very serious concerns.

Covert Monitoring

8.1 We will never engage in covert monitoring or surveillance (that is, where individuals are unaware that the monitoring or surveillance is taking place) unless, in highly exceptional circumstances, there are reasonable grounds to suspect that criminal activity or extremely serious malpractice is taking place and, after suitable consideration, we reasonably believe there is no less intrusive way to tackle the issue.

8.2 In the unlikely event that covert monitoring is considered to be justified, it will only be carried out with the express authorisation of the Club Director and/or the Head of Safety and Security. The decision to carry out covert monitoring follows an authorisation process and will be fully documented and will set out how the decision to use covert means was reached and by whom. The risk of intrusion on innocent workers will always be a primary consideration in reaching any such decision.

8.3 Only limited numbers of people will be involved in any covert monitoring.

8.4 Covert monitoring will only be carried out for a limited and reasonable period of time consistent with the objectives of making the recording and will only relate to the specific suspected illegal or unauthorised activity.

Ongoing review of CCTV use

9.1 We will ensure that the ongoing use of existing CCTV cameras in the Premises is reviewed periodically to ensure that their use remains necessary and appropriate, and that any surveillance system is continuing to address the needs that justified its introduction.

PART 2: EVENT IMAGES

Event Images

1.1 Save as where instructed as a member of staff, for the purposes of your role or responsibilities with the Club; as otherwise authorised by NUFC or permitted elsewhere in this policy, persons at, in or about the Premises shall not capture, log, record, transmit, play, issue, show or otherwise communicate (by digital or other means) any Material, any players or other persons at the Premises, nor bring into the Premises or use within the Premises (or provide to, facilitate or otherwise assist another person to use within the Premises) any equipment or technology which is capable of capturing, logging, recording, transmitting, playing, issuing, showing or otherwise communicating (by digital or other means) any such Material. Any person acting in breach of this provision may have such equipment or technology confiscated and / or will be required to deliver any tapes, films, disks, memory cards, memory sticks or other recordings of the Material (and all copies thereof) in whatever form, to the Premier League and / or NUFC.

1.2 Mobile telephones and other mobile devices capable of capturing Material are permitted within the Premises, provided that:

(b) no Material that is captured, logged, recorded, transmitted, played, issued, shown or otherwise communicated by a mobile telephone or other mobile device may be published or otherwise made available to any third parties including, without limitation, via social networking sites; or

(c) Data Users or other employees have been instructed to capture Material on the Premises for the purposes of their role.

1.3 In respect of Material captured by supporters and fans attending the Premises (for instance, in accordance with 1.2 above), the copyright, database rights and all other rights, title and interest in and to all Material produced by them at the Premises in relation to events, any players or other persons present at the Premises (whether produced in breach of this policy or otherwise) is hereby assigned to NUFC and/or the Premier League, including by way of present assignment of future copyright pursuant to section 91 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.

Data protection and privacy (event images and competition images)

2.1 All Persons entering the Premises for any sporting, social, charitable, community and/or entertainment events understand and acknowledge that such events are public, and that their appearance and actions inside and in the perimeter of the Premises where the event occurs are public in nature, and that they shall have no expectation of privacy with regard to their actions or conduct at the Premises.

2.2 All such Persons acknowledge that photographic images and/or audio, visual and/or audio-visual recordings and/or feeds (and/or stills taken therefrom) may be taken of them and may also be used as follows:

(a) in all media channels (including social media)

(b) for historic and / or archiving purposes;

2.3 Where Competition Images or Event Images constitute personal data, for example where an individual is identifiable in an image, we process that image in line with our obligations as a Data Controller under Data Protection Law.

2.4 Full details of how the Club processes personal data are set out in our Privacy Policy.

2.5 Where an image constitutes personal data, we may need to seek the data subject(s)’ consent and provide them with information about our intended use of that data, before we use it, depending on how we intend to use that image.

2.6 If we would like to use an image that identifies a person for marketing, advertising, publicity or other purposes not listed in this policy or the Club Privacy Policy, we will notify that person and, if necessary, seek consent for further use at that time.

2.7 In many cases, images that are crowd shots only will not constitute personal data, as individuals will not be identifiable to the Club from those images.

2.8 The processing of personal data contained within Event Images is a legitimate business interest of the Club; to promote, publicise and celebrate Club activities and participation in competitions; to establish and maintain the Club’s role as part of the regional community and encourage its relationship with fans / supporters / residents and the community fabric; and to create revenue to contribute towards the funding and commercial success of the Club.

2.9 Event Images that constitute personal data are kept in a file that is deleted after 7 years.

2.10 Where a Competition Image constitutes personal data, we process this on the basis of our legitimate interests: the Club promotes its engagement with fans / others and the competitions and prizes that are available for all participants’ further legitimate interests; and on the basis of the competition winner’s legitimate interests where they may like to publicise their success.

2.11 Competition Images are used for no other purposes, and are deleted 12 months after the relevant competition closes.

2.12 Where press, media or other third parties use Event Images, or their own images of events held at the Premises, they will be the Data Controller for this processing of any personal data in such images.

GENERAL
