Cancellation by the Customer

We regret that the cancellation policy stated herewith is strictly imposed without exception as tickets are limited and both highly costly and disruptive when not used:

Cancellation by us

Where we cancel, for whatever reason, and an alternative cannot be offered or taken, there shall be no penalty or administration charge and a refund in full (if applicable) shall be made within ten (10) working days of such a cancellation being advised and confirmed. No compensation, consequential losses or other such claim shall be accepted in the event of such a cancellation.

Booking Amendments

Wherever possible, a booking amendment shall be accommodated without charge or penalty if requested ten (10) days or more prior to the booking.

An administration charge of 10% of the net booking value

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

Prices Quoted

Prices quoted shall be current at the time of booking, acceptance and acknowledgment. The price agreed shall not be subject to any change unless forced due to circumstances beyond our control. Such circumstances shall include fuel surcharges or price increases exceeding 10% imposed after the booking, civil riot, region or National emergency, war, route closure, etc. Where such a price amendment is necessary, you will be notified in writing no less than twenty-eight (28) days prior to your booking. 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 ten (14) days or more prior to the departure date.

Price Inclusions

Your ticket price shall include everything as indicated including statutory insurance, VAT, all taxes and anything specifically mentioned as “included”.

Price Exclusions

Your ticket shall exclude personal insurance, snacks, lunch, beverages, optional activities and excursions, gratuities and any other items not specifically mentioned as being included.

Concession Requirements

As a general rule, bookings will be accepted at face value at the time of booking. However, at our discretion, proof of any concession entitlement claimed may be requested at any time during fulfilment of your ticket. Such proof shall include passport, identity card, student card or any other such document that contains a recognisable photograph and date of birth. Failure to produce such evidence immediately upon request may result in the concession being withdrawn and payment being requested amounting to the difference between what has already been paid and the full published adult price.

Children

Some of our product may be designed or targeted towards an adult audience. It is, therefore recommended that you check carefully before purchasing your ticket.

Children under the age of sixteen (16) shall not be permitted entry unless accompanied by an adult at all times. Full responsibility for children remains with the accompanying adult, including general behavioural control so as not to disturb the other visitors.

Special Needs

It is our intention to operate a fully accessible attraction so please discuss matters of this nature with us prior to booking and we will make every effort to accommodate special needs accordingly. We reserve the right to require persons who are unable to move independently to be accompanied by a companion who is able to provide any necessary assistance and take full responsibility accordingly.

Animals / Pets

Animals and pets shall not be permitted with the exception of a registered and documented guide dog in accompaniment of a visually impaired person. Full responsibility for such an animal remains with the accompanying person, including feeding, hygiene and general control so as not to disturb the other passengers.

Overall Comfort

For the comfort and safety of all guests, the use of alcohol, tobacco and non-prescribed drug products is strictly prohibited at all times.

Insurance

We operate within UK laws that include compulsory and statutory insurance against accident and third party liability. Client insurance against personal injury, item theft, loss, or any other such event is not included and it is highly recommended that you take out your own personal Insurance in good standard procedures.

Identification Documents

As is good practice (but not law in the UK) it is recommended that you carry with you some form of personal identification. This should also include detailed medical information about yourself (if applicable). Such identification is the sole responsibility of each person.

Overall Enjoyment

We will not accept responsibility for your overall enjoyment. Whilst every effort will be made to maximise your pleasure and experience, it is accepted that every person's preference and tastes are unique and it would be impossible to satisfy all of our customers all of the time. However, we recognises that our own success is dependent on word of mouth referral and prioritises customer satisfaction accordingly.

Weather Conditions

We will not accept responsibility for last minute alterations or cancellations due to weather or other related circumstances that are beyond our control.

Traffic & Road Conditions

We will not accept responsibility for delays or otherwise due to traffic and/or road conditions or other related circumstances that are beyond our control. In the event of such an occurrence, no compensation, consequential losses or other such claim shall be accepted.

Attraction Breakdown or Immobilisation

We will not accept responsibility for last minute cancellations, delays or other related circumstances due to attraction ride breakdown or immobilisation. In the event of such an occurrence, no compensation, consequential losses or other such claim shall be accepted.

Liability

In so far as our duties extend in providing a professional, safe and fit-for-purpose product, we, our staff and agents shall not be liable for any injury, loss, expense, damage, accident, delay, irregularity, stranded individual, personal negligence, weather, quarantines, sickness, disease, act of God, Government restriction, legal regulation or otherwise which are adjudged to be out of our control.

Force Majeure

Except where otherwise expressly stated in these conditions, we cannot, and will not accept liability or pay compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by, or you otherwise suffer any damage or loss, as a result of “force majeure”. For the elimination of doubt, in these conditions, “force majeure” means any event which we, or our sub-contractors, could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events include, but are not limited to, war, threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorism, industrial disputes, natural disaster, adverse weather, fire, etc.

Complaints & Disputes

Any disputes or complaints must be brought to our attention in writing no longer than twenty-one (21) days from the origin such. We shall then be granted an additional sixty (60) days to investigate and resolve such a dispute or complaint without involving third parties or outside solicitors, litigation or counsel.

In the event of a complaint or dispute not being satisfactorily resolved, both parties irrevocably agrees that the dispute will be settled and determined by final and binding arbitration pursuant to the United Kingdom and that such arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the Rules and Procedures in current effect under English law.
