TERMS & CONDITIONS
1. Once Lakeland Mountain Guides Limited have agreed to take a booking from a customer, the customer is entering into a contract with Lakeland Mountain Guides.
2. Under 18's must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian throughout the event to be able to participate.
3. After booking you have 3 days in which to change to another event or cancel your booking. If you cancel within 3 days you will receive a full refund. After the 3 day period we may only provide a maximum refund of 50% - but in some cases may not provide any refund at all (Such as short notice cancellations). This includes altering the event participants and requested number of instructors. We strongly recommend you take out cancellation and curtailment insurance. With current COVID protocols and the possibility of your holiday being cancelled or cut short due to being told to isolate / getting the virus we recommend getting insurance to cover this eventuality.
4. In the event that Lakeland Mountain Guides Limited must cancel an event before the intended event date under safety grounds, you will receive a full refund / credit for the event fee. An example which may cause concern under the grounds of safety could be unsafe wind speeds. We will always seek a viable alternative if possible, but said alternative may not be similar to your original objective. We will not be held responsible to other losses (Accommodation, fuel costs, food etc) occurred to the cancellation of the event. Again, for this reason we recommend you take out cancellation and curtailment insurance.
5. Lakeland Mountain Guides Limited reserves the right to vary walks or events from the specification set out in the Information Pack. This is most likely to be a weather or ground condition dependent action. We will aim to keep an event as true to the booking as possible, but at times this is out of our control. Wintertime is a prime example whereby a winter mountain skills course will become a summer mountain skills course or similar.
6. All bookings are made on the basis that customers will observe the safety instructions provided by Lakeland Mountain Guides Limited Staff. To ignore these instructions, you do so at your own risk. The word of the instructor/ leader/ guide is final.
7. Lakeland Mountain Guides Limited reserve the right to exclude customers from an event if they are not adequately prepared , not fit enough or their actions will jeopardise their own, other customer's or the instructor's safety. We also reserve the right to exclude a customer if their attitude is aggressive or offensive. If you leave an event part way through and you and the guide are happy with the action, then the guides duty of care over you ends there.
8. Lakeland Mountain Guides accept no responsibility for customers' personal property that may be lost or damaged during the event. This includes property left in the leaders car during an event.
