Your contract is with the owner of Emily Morgan, Richard Oswald with Faro Sailing School (herinafter referred to as FSS) operating as Administrators. The submission of a completed booking form and deposit or full payment signifies your understanding and acceptance of the following terms and conditions:
Bookings
Telephone or email reservations will be held for 3 days unless otherwise stated. The booking will be confirmed on
receipt of a fully completed booking form and a deposit equal to 25% of the
total cost. The deposit is non-refundable once the booking is accepted. All
bookings will be confirmed in writing by the issue of your booking confirmation
and joining instructions. The balance of fees must be paid 6 weeks prior to the
course commencement date. If the
balance of fees is not received 6 weeks before the course commencement date, FSS
reserves the right to cancel the booking and offer it for resale - final
reminders will not be sent and the client remains liable for the balance of fees. Bookings
made less than 6 weeks before the course commencement date must be accompanied
by full payment. Receipts will not be issued unless requested.
Cancellation by the Client
A cancellation must be made in writing (fax transmission or email is acceptable)
to the UK office and is deemed to take effect on receipt. Cancellation less
than 6 weeks prior to the course commencement date will result in forfeiture of
all fees paid. It is therefore strongly recommended that you take out
travel insurance which will cover you should you need to cancel your
booking. If
a client leaves a yacht and/or abandons a trip before the scheduled
termination date and time for whatever reason, no refunds will be given and
additional travel costs or other expenses incurred will not be reimbursed.
Cancellation by FSS
If FSS has to cancel because of circumstances beyond its control including
sickness, accidents, travel delays, weather, strikes, war or civil disturbance, then
a full refund of fees already paid will be made.
No liability will be accpeted by FSS for flight tickets already purchased or
other incidental expenses incurred - we
recommend that your travel insurance covers holiday cancellation.
Damage or Loss
The cost of making good any damage or loss of equipment resulting from the
carelessness of the client will be to the account of the
client.
Skipper/Instructor Authority
Decisions made by the skipper/instructor are final in respect of the safety of
the yacht and the well-being of the crew.
Insurance
The yacht provided by FSS is fully insured against accident, third party
liability and personal injury due to negligence by FSS. However, no liability is
accepted by FSS for personal accident or loss or damage to the property of the
client. The client must therefore arrange his own personal insurance and details
of this must be shown on the booking form.
Medical
The client agrees to notify FSS of any medical conditions or illness by signing the Health Declaration on the
booking form. This need not necessarily prevent the client from taking part in the
trip. If a client is in any doubt about his fitness to take part, his GP should be consulted. Clients are strongly advised
to obtain form E111 from the Post Office which will provide cover for medical
treatment in all EEC countries.
Smoking
In the interests of comfort and safety, smoking is not permitted below deck -
clients are welcome to smoke in the cockpit provided they are mindful of where
their smoke and ash are going and do not cause discomfort to other crew
members. Cigarette butts must not be thrown into the sea.
Drugs
No illegal drugs, substances, objects or contraband may be brought onboard the
yacht. Any person found in possession of any of the aforementioned items
will be put ashore at the first opportunity regardless of location and FSS will not
reimburse, or in any way be held responsible for any costs incurred for travel
or any other expenses. In addition, the person shall indemnify FSS and the
Skipper against all legal action, impoundment and loss incurred as a
result.
