2. Deposits are non-refundable
3. Final balances are due 8 weeks before course start date.
4. Cancellation or curtailment for reasons of injury or illness may be covered by your own insurance.

a. more than 8 weeks proir to the course - Deposit
-
b. between 8 weeks and 2 weeks - 50% course fee
-
c less than 2 weeks - full course fee
6. In the unlikely event of the course being cancelled all monies will be refunded or you may choose to take an alternative course.
7. we reserve the right to terminate a booking without refund should participants cause a nuisance or disregard the few simple rules.
8. It is recommended that persons booking a course that includes water sports should be able to swim 50 metres.
9. Skern Lodge has extremely high standards of quality and safety, however, outdoor pursuits by their nature do contain some risk and course participants should be aware of this. Risk analysis on all activities is continually reviewed and procedures revised if required.
10. Personal belongings of course participants are their own responsibility and should be appropriate for an outdoor course. For example, insurance companies are unlikely to agree that damage to an Armani suit would be covered while abseiling!
Insurance Matters
Public Liability Insurance
Skern Lodge has public liability insurance with up to £10 million limit.
Personal Course Insurance
It is your choice whether to take out Personal Insurance to cover such things as:
- Cancellation or curtailment of your course due to your illness or injury after booking a place
- Personal accident
- Personal belongings
- Personal liability
Some organisations already have such an Insurance Policy in place for all participants on all trips throughout the year. For example, this includes some LEA's, Independent Schools and large organisations. Please check if you are unsure.
If you would like to arrange personal course insurance for your visit to Skern Lodge, or annual insurance to cover all trips, please contact your own insurance adviser. Any problems, please contact us.
(Note to our regular clients:
Due to a change in the law, from 1st January 2005 we are unable to sell you personal insurance direct, as we have done in the past. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. As always, please phone Skern Lodge office for any general information about your visit. For information and advice on personal insurance, please contact your own Insurance Adviser.)
