Cancellation or Changes by Us | Should we make changes or cancel due to Outfit Moray’s inability to provide resources or staff, or when a cancellation by others on your course makes continuation inviable or impractical, we will inform you as soon as possible with suggested alternatives. Should these not be satisfactory or suitable, a full refund will be issued within 14 days.
We always strive to provide you with the activity/venue/itinerary stated in your booking. The very nature of the outdoor environment means that weather and other unforeseen circumstances can often determine whether or not this is possible. Examples of possible hindrance may be no water/snow, too much water/snow/wind, landslides, a road or river blocking etc. Any changes we are forced to make due to these or similar circumstances will be based on ensuring the participants’ safety and providing a quality outdoor experience. We will inform you as soon as we have made an assessment that such change is necessary so alternative arrangements can be made. Please note that due to the nature of our activities, rearrangements may need to be done on the day of the activity and prior notice may not be possible. Refunds are not normally provided in such circumstances. Those meeting us at venues and not using our transport will need to arrange to meet us at the alternative venue. If, due to Force Majeure, we are unable to fulfil our contract with you, you will not be due compensation. This relates to extremely unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control which generally affects us all. These can include, but are not limited to; war, riot, industrial dispute, terrorist activity and its consequences, natural or nuclear disaster, fire or extreme weather conditions which make normal operations impossible or too dangerous to continue. |
