Cancellations/ Alterations of programming
Whilst
every reasonable effort is made to deal with such contingencies there may be
occasions when the provider, through no fault of her own, is forced to,
postpone, alter the date or time, cancel an event, bring an event to an early
close, or to make ‘significant’ or ‘minor’ changes. These circumstances
include; minimum numbers not reached, natural variables, weather (which may
include; gale force winds, torrential and consistent rain, sub-zero
temperatures, other dangerous weather), illness, transport cancellations,
natural disasters, acts of God, epidemic or terrorist activity, other
unforeseeable situations.
- All efforts
to be made to inform the clients of these changes as soon as is
practically possibly, this may be very short notice during or before the
event.

circumstances where an event is cancelled or the date is changed, the
client will be offered the option to;
- participate
in an alternative date
- If
for some reason this is not possible, you will be offered a full refund
Cancellation/Alterations by the
Client
In
circumstances where commitments cannot be adhered to the following costs will
be incurred. The client acknowledges that such fees are acceptable due to the
provider needing to plan for and administrate all courses:
- Full fee is
forfeit however date may be moved at my discretion according to
availability.
- Cancellations
by the client due to weather are not acceptable, unless it is agreed with
the provider that the weather is dangerous to go ahead in and therefore
