Terms and Conditions

Please take time to read our terms and conditions before making a booking with us, and do not hesitate to contact us on any point requiring clarification. These terms and conditions govern the contract under which Lakeland Adventures will supply Activity Bookings to you.When the User purchases a confirmed activity with an operator via Lakeland Adventures they will enter into a separate contract with the operator for the supply of the activity in question and become subject to the operator’s own terms and conditions.

Insurance/Safety

Many of the activities sold by Lakeland Adventures involve some personal risk. In purchasing one of our activities you accept the existence of an element of risk. Life insurance policies vary in their coverage, and some may exclude certain of the activities Lakeland Adventures offer. It is advisable to check this with your insurance company in advance. The operators for the various activities advertised normally arrange their own liability insurance, which will provide insurance for participants in the case of negligence on behalf of that operator (Lakeland Adventures provide such insurance for yacht sailing activities to the value of £3,000,000).

Lakeland Adventures accepts responsibility for yacht sailing activities but for all other activities, the following statement applies.

Activities are sold by Lakeland Adventures as an agent for businesses that provide lifestyle and recreational activities to customers herein after referred to as “activity providers”.

Lakeland Adventures is not an activity provider and has no responsibility for any activities provided or not provided by any other party. Lakeland Adventures are not operators of any other vehicle or equipment used in the provision of the activities sold. We are unable to give any guarantee as to the safety standards or performance of any operator. The operator may require a disclaimer to be signed before the activity.

We cannot accept any responsibility for any loss howsoever arising from our contract with you for the supply of an Activity Booking (save in the case of death or personal injury caused by our negligence).Liability for any delay or cancellation of the activity or loss, injury, death or any other claim howsoever arising from or howsoever caused by the activities advertised on our website or ordered through us shall be the sole responsibility of the operator who provides the activities and shall be governed by that operator’s terms and conditions.

If they encounter any difficulty or delay doing this they must contact the operator as soon as possible and manage the difficulty accordingly. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation and forfeiture of the activity.


Cancellation by you

If you are unable to attend an activity on the confirmed date and time you selected you should immediately contact the activity provider who will do their best to reschedule the activity.Lakeland Adventures and/or the supplier cannot refund or exchange should you fail to attend an agreed date and time or if you fail to attend a re-scheduled date and time.It is generally expected that for a cancellation less than 48hrs before the departure of a trip, no refund will be possible.


Cancellation

Waiting time may be necessary with all activities, especially as some are weather dependent. There is also the possibility of short notice cancellation due to weather, mechanical problems, staff illness or other unforeseen circumstances beyond the operator’s control. If the activity is cancelled the user should simply re-book with the operator concerned.Once the User have booked their chosen activity they will become subject to the operator’s terms and conditions including the operator’s cancellation terms.

This may mean that if the user cancels a booking the user may forfeit the activity. Lakeland Adventures will not be liable for any costs such as travel or accommodation incurred by the participant in such circumstances.Should an activity become unavailable or a particular location become unavailable for any reason whatsoever after you have received your booking reference, we will endeavour to find an acceptable alternative activity at the same price. Failing this we reserve the right to give a full refund. This will be made to the purchaser of the activity.

This will be the limit of our liability and we will not be liable for any other costs incurred by the participant such as travel or accommodation. The user will need to be agile enough to get in and out of the particular craft or equipment in use and must be medically fit enough for the particular activity. If the user has any doubts about medical fitness, they should consult their doctor.


Refunds/Complaints

The easiest way of resolving a complaint is to address them on the day. If your complaint cannot be resolved on the day please inform us by writing to our Customer Services Manager. You can claim a refund up to 7 days after placing an order with Lakeland Adventures unless the activity date and time has been booked with the supplier. Refunds after this period will be at our discretion and will be subject to a £20 or 20% (whichever is greater) admin fee. Note that refunds can only be made to the purchaser.
