4. SAFETY & PARTICIPATION STATEMENT

Adventure activities are potentially hazardous with a danger of personal injury. By booking a course/activity you are aware of and accept these risks and will be responsible for your own and your groups actions and involvement. An instructor who holds the relevant awards or qualifications will lead these activities and will maintain a high level of safety throughout the activities. To enable us to manage these risks you agree to acknowledge the need for responsible behaviour and that the instructor’s word is final on all matters of safety. You confirm that you are familiar with the nature of the activities that you wish to undertake and acknowledge those risks that are inherent therein and that you may freely withdraw from the activity and there is no pressure whatsoever to take part.

5. INSURANCE & LOSS

Our courses/activities do not include any personal accident, cancellation, or personal injury insurance. We recommend that you take out your own policy with a sports leisure company. We will accept no responsibility whatsoever in respect of loss or damage to personal property and by reading and signing the indemnity form clients are made aware of the hazards and dangers involved in the activity.
