TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Please read our terms and conditions and remember they have been developed to insure both parties are

clear as to how bookings proceed.

The contract is formed when Fore / Adventure (formerly studland sea school) acknowledges acceptance

of customers booking and payment.

Taking part in outdoor adventurous activities has some risk of injury. Staff employed by us are trained and

have relevant qualifications to run activities. At all times staff will work in such a way as to reduce and limit

the risk of injury. Customers must accept that due to the nature of the activities injuries and accidents may

happen.

Accidents can happen without any contributory negligence from the centre or its staff. The centre can

accept no responsibility for loss or damage to personal property or for personal injury not arising as a

result of its own act or default.

Customers under the the age of 18 must have have parental or guardian written consent for their child to

participate. The parent guardian has to be aware and accept associated risks of outdoor adventurous

activities.

The customer is responsible for looking after all equipment issued for the hire/activity. We may charge for

lost or damaged with the exception of fair wear and tear.

If hiring customers must agree and follow the conditions of hire.

Bookings are on the basis that the customer will observe all safety procedures/policies put in place by us.

Our literature or website constitute an offer we may correct any errors or omissions in it's published prices

prior to confirming contracts in accordance with this condition,


Our information is produced in good faith that it is accurate when going to press. Any up to date price list

replaces all previous price lists.

PAYMENT

The payment for a course/tour/hire is payable at the time of booking or a minimum payment of 50% can

be arranged if booking a bespoke booking for a large group, the remaining balance is due 30 days prior to

the activity. If the balance is not paid we reserve the right to treat the booking as cancelled by the

customer.

We accept cash at our beach hut for hire, credit cards via PayPal for all other transactions (Visa,

Master-card, Switch, Delta & Solo.) We also take payment via money transfer.

VOUCHERS

Vouchers are valid for one year from date of purchase and are non refundable. They can be passed on to

another recipient and used against any of our activities. The cancellation terms below apply to bookings

made with vouchers or any other payment method.

CANCELLATION BY US

Whilst every effort is made to ensure courses/activities and hire go ahead in certain circumstances such

as dangerous/unsuitable conditions or staff sickness cancellation may happen, activities will still run as

scheduled if it is not sunny or if it is wet. We will inform the customer at the latest by 7.30 am on the day

of the trip, if you don't hear from us then your trip is going ahead. Please ensure you have supplied a

contact number we can reach you on. In the event of us cancelling the following options will be offered

-Full refund if paid using a card or BACS.

-Another booking on a different date.

-vouchers will be reissued.

Cancelation by us does not affect the right to a refund of travel cost's incurred.

INCLEMENT WEATHER CHANGES THAT MAY AFFECT YOUR KAYAK FISH FORAGE AND FEAST

EVENT

In some cases it may not be practical for your activity to go ahead as planned due to weather conditions.

In this case we reserve the right to substitute activities. Where we cannot kayak on the kayak fish forage

and feast we will replace this with a Forage and Feast and refund the £50 difference.

CANCELLATION BY THE CUSTOMER

For all of our sessions (apart from events - see below) customers must cancel in writing via e mail to

hello@foreadventure.co.uk all cancellations must be acknowledged by us & bookings remain live until the

customer receives a response. All cancelations will incur a handling and administration fee of £10.


Customers who give at least two weeks cancelation notice before the session (this cancelation notice

does not apply to events - please see below) will receive a 100% refund of the total fee (minus a £10

handling fee) or are given the option to reschedule free of charge.**

Customers who cancel inside the two week notice period prior to their activity receive a 50% refund and

lose the option to reschedule.**

Customers who cancel in the week prior to the activity or on the day forfeit 100% of their total fee and

their option to reschedule.**

If you don't provide the adequate notice to receive a refund, we do permit you to transfer your booking to

friends and family members or we can try to resell your spaces for you, this will incur a handling and

administration fee of £10.

These terms apply whether you paid for your booking using a gift voucher or through our payment portal.

** Our events (forage and feast, kayak, fish, forage and feast, retreats and foraging courses) all involve

catering and / or other services and we hold them on specific dates. Consequently, the consumer right of

cancellation above requesting 14 days notice does not apply to these Products. You are therefore not

entitled to cancel or reschedule any of these events or to obtain a refund in respect of them if you no

longer can or want to attend them. However we do permit you to transfer your booking to friends and

family members or we can offer to try to resell them, this will incur an administration and handling fee of

£10, if they resell we will issue you with a gift voucher (minus the admin charge) that is valid for another

year from this date.

* Please note we only refund or reschedule due to Covid 19 if government guidance prevents us

from running a course or event and we have to cancel. We encourage you to check your

insurance policies to find out if you are covered if you are unable to attend due to Covid 19

symptoms or self isolation as our cancelation terms still apply if you cannot join us for illness or

any other reason. If we have to close for any period of time due to Covid - 19 vouchers will be

extended for that period affected.

LATE CUSTOMERS

We cannot hold the sessions for late comers as it is unfair on the other customers in your group, please

arrive 10 minutes prior, if you miss your slot we do not offer the option to reschedule and you lose your

fee.
