8. Acceptance of Minors: Applicants under 18 years of age are legally deemed to be minors and require their Parent/Guardian consent form and surety deposit.

Among other conditions the terms govern good behaviour, applied discipline and prohibitions, unaccompanied outings, evening return times, damages, misdeeds, and the payment of a conditional refundable surety deposit of €20 upon arrival at check-in if accommodated at an NSTS Malta collective residence or hotel.


10. Code of Conduct: Applicants implicitly accept that NSTS Malta may, without being liable in any manner whatsoever, exclude them from a service applied for or being consumed, and demand their repatriation at their charge, if, in the opinion of Management, their behaviour is of disturbance to others or they appear likely to endanger or impair the health, safety, or comfort of other persons using the concurrent services or the reputation of NSTS Malta by their acts or omissions.

13. Data Protection: By applying, the applicant consents and authorises NSTS Malta to process any personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union and to transfer/disclose such data within NSTS Malta and to suppliers as deemed necessary for the provision of the services applied for and for the purposes associated thereto.
