The term “company” means Weymouth Powerboat Training, its Instructors or any sub-contracted person. The term “client” means each person in whose name the course is booked.
If the company is unable to meet any booking through circumstances beyond its control, the client(s) may be offered another booking at the company’s discretion. If no dates are agreeable, a full refund will be made. The companies liability is limited to this.
The company will determine how and when any course is run and whether or not the course will go onto the water. The company’s decision is final.
The client’s place on a course is secured when full payment has been received and, the company has accepted a completed booking form (per participant).
If the client wishes to cancel their place on a course the following terms apply:
• Greater than four weeks notice: Full refund
• Between four and two weeks until your course: Full course refund, less £50 administration fee.
• Less than two weeks notice: Full costs of course due unless places can be resold, in which case the client’s liability is limited to a £50 administration charge.
In the event that you need to change the date of your course then we will do our best to accommodate the change at no further cost. This will be dependant on minimum numbers.
If the client fails to attend the course then they are liable for the full cost of the course.
The school is insured, however the client is recommended (if they consider it necessary) to take out their own insurance against cancellation, damage or loss of personal effects, death or personal injury.
The company and Instructors working on its behalf do not accept any liability for any loss, damage or injury suffered by persons and/or their property arising out of or during the course of the activities whilst training and/or coaching and/or instructing and/or delivering unless such injury loss or damage was caused by, or resulted from negligence or deliberate act.
The client acknowledges that there are inherent dangers involved in using power boats and understands and agrees to sign the booking form indemnity holding the company and its Instructors free of liability in the event of an accident, death, injury or damage to person or property.
