Once a date has been booked for a Training Course or a Tandem Skydive the following conditions will apply:

Booking

• Changes without two weeks notice will incur a £50 per person charge.
• Changes without 48 hours notice will result in the loss of any monies paid, or if the booking is a voucher redemption, it will be deemed to have been used. Balance of payment if applicable, will still be due. These charges apply for any reason; including cancellation due to illness on the day. If you choose not to go through with your training or jump for any reason monies paid will not be returned.
• The upper age limit for the Accelerated FreeFall and Static Line courses is 54 years of age.
• There is no age limit for Tandem Skydives, as long as there is a valid medical certificate if you are 40 or over.
• If your preferred date is not available we will offer you an alternative. In the unlikely event of an aircraft or the club facilities not being available, we will transfer your jump to another day at no extra charge.
• All monies paid are non-refundable and non transferable.

Gift Vouchers

• All gift vouchers are non-refundable and valid for six months from date of purchase. After this time they will be deemed to have been used.
• In exceptional and unforeseen circumstances gift vouchers may be subject to a small surcharge when used within their validity period.

Weather

• If weather prevents your Tandem Skydive from taking place on your booked date, you must return within 6 months to make your jump. After this time you will incur additional costs and after 1 year the jump will be lost.
• If you have taken advantage of a discounted midweek price and book to return on a different midweek day or at a weekend or on a bank holiday, the full fee for that day is applicable.
• If you have paid the full fee you may rebook on any date for no extra charge.
• If weather prevents your solo jump from taking place, you must return within 3 months to make your jump. After this time you will incur additional costs, and after 6 months the jump will be lost.
