Changes to arrangements
If you wish to change holiday arrangements we will do our best to accommodate you subject to availability, for an administration fee of £50 per booking, provided alterations are notified at least 28 days before the start of your holiday.
Alteration or cancellation by us
Holidays are planned many months in advance. While we always endeavour to avoid making any changes after a booking has been confirmed sometimes it is necessary and we reserve the right to do so. Itineraries are a statement of intent only and not representations or undertakings that they will be carried out. Any changes will not constitute material alterations and we will notify you as soon as we can.
In the unlikely event we have to cancel your holiday, including as a result of ’force majeure’ we will offer you an alternative or a full refund. Force majeure means unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which neither we nor our suppliers could avoid, e.g war or threat of war, riots, civil strife, terrorist activities, industrial disputes, natural or nuclear disaster, fire or adverse weather conditions, level of water in rivers or similar events beyond our control.
Insurance
All customers should have adequate insurance cover in case of cancellation, accident or loss of possessions.
Customer Care
We will do our utmost to ensure you have an enjoyable holiday. If you do have any complaint please notify us immediately and we will endeavour to rectify the problem. Any ensuing complaints should be notified to us as soon as possible in writing, and in any event within 14 days.
Safety and responsibilities
We want you to have a safe holiday. Walk Yorkshire will ensure that the holiday is as safe as possible, however your personal safety is your responsibility. Any person coming on a walking holiday must be fit, adequately experienced and able to cope with the demands of the holiday. If you have any doubts please consult your doctor, or call us for advice.
Cars are parked at your own risk. We can take no responsibility for any loss to vehicles or contents.
