Explore in Cornwall will make every effort to re-let your booking in these circumstance.

Cancellation by Explore in Cornwall (The Provider):

Whilst every reasonable effort is made to deal with such contingencies there may be occasions when Explore in Cornwall, through no fault of ours, is forced to cancel a walk, or to make changes to a walk. Every effort will be made to inform the clients of these changes as soon as is practically possibly, this may be very short notice during or before the walk. If we have to cancel a walk for any reason, we will try to offer a suitable alternative date, failing this we will refund the full amount you have paid

Rights of Admission

Explore in Cornwall reserves the right to refuse a booking or debar a person from participating in our walks, if in our reasonable opinion their participation is likely to cause distress, annoyance or damage to themselves, other customers, or our walk leaders.

This includes participants who fail to advise us of a medical condition or disability which prevents their full participation in the walks, and participants who we believe may be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

It also includes participants who in the opinion of the walk leader are not properly clothed or equipped to enjoy the walk in safety.We are not responsible for any inconvenience or costs incurred as a result.

Complaints and grievances

The client acknowledges that it is unreasonable to take no action during a Walk but to complain later.

However, should a problem not be resolved, complaint should be made in writing within 28 days of the relevant Walk. To the extent permitted in law the Provider will not be liable in respect of claims first intimated later than 28 days from the close of the relevant Walk
