1. English UK normally sends all members of QUIC an invoice for the annual fee during the first quarter. This invoice is payable within 30 days, or prior to circulation of the QUIC report and quarter one pivot tables, whichever is earliest. However, for 2021, given the ongoing financial challenges facing the sector, the Board has approved a variant of the scheme and the 2021 invoice will be sent in quarter four. Failure to pay this invoice will result in the member’s exclusion from QUIC. 

2. Members of QUIC commit to submitting accurate data in full compliance with guidelines issued by English UK by the published deadlines. If your data is late, but is received by midnight on the fifth working day after the submission deadline, you will be fined £50+VAT. This penalty is per centre, per submission. Data submitted after this will not be accepted and the member will be expelled from QUIC with immediate effect. 

3. Re-admission to QUIC for members who have been expelled for failure to return data will be at the discretion of English UK.   

4. English UK reserves the right to make changes to QUIC, including the submission process and guidelines. Any changes made will be in consultation with research experts and be intended to improve QUIC for the benefit of all members.   

5. No (full or partial) refunds of the annual fee will be issued for any reason.   

6. Failure to pay the £50+VAT penalty fine within 30 days of issuance will result in immediate expulsion from QUIC.   

7. QUIC is open to all English UK members until 31 March 2017 and then every December to mid-March thereafter.   

8. The minimum length of membership of QUIC is one calendar year, i.e. four quarters of data submission (January – December).   

9. Membership of QUIC is rolling year-on-year. You may cancel your membership of QUIC in December (1-31 December) each year by means by writing to statistics@englishuk.com.

10. QUIC members will receive the full statistical report in digital copy via email within a maximum of eight weeks and a minimum of four weeks after the end of the referenced quarter.  

11. A top-lines executive summary of the full report will be made publicly available and distributed by English UK. 

12. English UK reserves the right to sell the full report to stakeholders, partners and other interested parties for a suitably inflated price, if we assess there to be no conflict of interest. 

13. QUIC members agree not to share the full report outside the organisation. English UK reserves the right to expel a member from QUIC  if there is evidence suggesting the member has shared the full report outside of their organisation. 

14. English UK will collate the data and share this with third-party research agency Bonard in accordance with strict data protection protocols.   

15. Bonard is an affiliate member of the United Nations World Tourism Organisation and a member of ESOMAR. As such, they comply with an international research code of conduct and follow strict data protection protocol.   

16. Bonard will process the data to ensure a representative sample. However, like all data collection schemes, the more participants, the more reliable the data. The depth of comparative analysis possible is not guaranteed and will depend to some extent on the number of member centres signing up to QUIC.   

17. English UK reserves the right to terminate QUIC at any time without assigning a reason. In this case, any refund of the annual fee will be offered at the discretion of English UK
