Terms and Conditions: Trip Boat

These Terms and Conditions constitute a formal agreement between Anglo Welsh Waterways Holidays and our Customer (this being the person(s) who uses our products and/or services).

We and our Customer(s) accept and agree to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions. A credit or debit card guarantee, full or part payment and acceptance of such by us for you to use our products and/or services signifies an understanding and acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.

1. Reservations
   Advance reservations and/or ticket purchase is recommended to prevent disappointment. Such reservations can be made through this website.

Group bookings can be accepted by telephone and email; however, full payment is required in advance to confirm the booking and reserve your preferred date and time. Non-payment within seven (7) days of the booking may result in its cancellation. Payment can be made by card, or by bank transfer.

1. Booking Guarantee
   Your credit or debit card details will be requested to purchase your trip boat ticket(s). If booking online, your credit or debit card details will be requested to complete your purchase and a "print-at-home" ticket will be generated. Full, itemised payment shall be debited but please note that your account statement will identify the transaction as "WebTicketManager" and not Anglo Welsh.

This is Anglo Welsh’s third-party payment clearing provider who operate our secure, PCI compliant online booking system and can be contacted directly at: Wincham Business Park, Wincham, Northwich, Cheshire, CW9 6GB. UK. Tel: 0161 956 2300. (www.webticketmanager.com)

If booking through an approved representative, payment will be taken in accordance with their own terms and conditions of ticket sales. Your reservation is duly guaranteed by the issuing of a payment receipt or tour ticket(s).

1. Cancellation by the Customer
   Our cancellation policy does not permit the cancelation of trip boat ticket(s) however your statutory rights are not affected.

1. Cancellation by Anglo Welsh
   Should we cancel, for whatever reason, and an alternative cannot be offered or taken, a refund in full (if applicable) shall be made within twenty (20) working days of such a cancellation being confirmed.

Compensation will not be made, and no liability will be taken where we are forced to cancel because of unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which we could not have avoided even with all due care. No compensation will be payable if we cancel because of your failure to comply with these terms. No additional compensation, consequential losses, additional travelling costs or other such claim shall be accepted in such an unfortunate event.

1. Booking Amendments
   Wherever possible, a booking amendment shall be accommodated without charge or penalty if requested fourteen (14) days or more prior to the event date. A charge of 10% of the net booking value shall be payable for all amendments made less than fourteen (14) days prior to the event date if such an amendment is possible.

Where an amendment cannot be made and the original booking cannot be fulfilled, then the Cancellation Policy detailed above shall be applicable.

1. Prices Quoted
   Prices quoted shall be current at the time of booking. The price agreed shall not be subject to any change unless forced due to circumstances beyond our control. Such circumstances shall include civil riot, region or National emergency, war, route closure, severe weather conditions, etc. Where a price amendment is necessary, you will be notified in writing no less than twenty-eight (28) days prior to your event date.

Should a price amendment be unacceptable, the booking may be cancelled in accordance with our Cancellation Policy above but without penalty or administration charge if confirmed as cancelled fourteen (14) days or more prior to the event date.

   Bookings will be accepted at face value at the time of booking. We reserve the right to request proof of any concession during the booking.
