Operating conditions

Sometimes it may not be safe for us to provide an activity at the location originally plannedfor example due to weather conditions, or other factors which could affect safety.  In these circumstances, we reserve the right to provide the activity at an alternative location and will do our best to ensure that this has minimal impact on the activity, but this may require you to travel further, incur longer journey time or incur additional costs.  If an alternative location cannot be found, it may be necessary for us to cancel an activity.  The decision to cancel an activity on safety grounds will be at the sole discretion of us. If we decide to cancel an activity for safety reasons we will contact you at the earliest possible opportunity to discuss the best course of action which may involve providing the activity at an alternative time or date, providing a credit for an alternative activity or providing you with a refund.

If you wish to discuss these cancellation and amendment terms with us, please do this before completing your booking.

Payment of Invoice

Gift Vouchers

Gift Vouchers have an ‘activity to be taken before’ date specifying the date by which any activity must be taken. It is your responsibility to make a suitable booking with us, against which the Gift Voucher can be used, such that the activity is taken before the specified ‘activity to be taken before’ date.  Gift Vouchers will not be accepted in lieu of payment for activities to be taken after the ‘activity to be taken before’ date.

Gift Vouchers may, at the sole discretion of us, be used in part payment against an activity of a higher cost than that for which the Gift Voucher was purchased or for a different activity; in these circumstances we will normally require you to pay the difference in cost between the activities

Where you have completed a booking  with us  (for a public/open activity or private activity) for which you have used a Gift Voucher in lieu of payment, the above cancellation and booking amendment terms apply, except that we will not make a refund in circumstances where Gift Vouchers have been used in lieu of payment.

If you wish to discuss these Gift Voucher terms with us, please do this before purchasing a Gift Voucher.
