Section 1. Introduction

These Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) comply with the following:

UK Consumer protection legislation
The Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulation 2002
The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulation 2002
The Unfair Contracts Act 1977
Please read these online booking terms carefully as you will be asked to expressly agree to them during the booking process on our website.

Section 2. Interpretation

In these online booking terms, “we” means Skydive St Andrews Ltd (and “us” and “our” will be construed accordingly); and “you” means our customer or potential customer (and “your” will be construed accordingly).

Section 3. Booking process

The advertising of Skydiving on our website constitutes an “invitation to participate”; and your submission of a booking request for a Tandem Skydiving Course constitutes a contractual offer. No contract will come into force between you and us until we accept your order in accordance with the procedure detailed below.

In order to enter into a contract to take a Tandem Skydive Course, you will need to select a date (not necessary if you are purchasing a gift voucher) and then proceed to the checkout. You must confirm your order and your consent to these online booking terms; you will then be transferred to the secure website of our payment processor, Stripe. Stripe will handle your payment. We will then send you an initial acknowledgement email followed by a booking confirmation at which point your booking will become a binding contract or we will confirm by email that we are unable to meet your booking request.

We will not file a copy of these online booking terms specifically in relation to your booking. We may update the version of these online booking terms on the website from time to time, and we do not guarantee that the version you have agreed to will remain accessible. We therefore recommend that you download, print and retain a copy of these online booking terms for your records. The only language in which we provide these online booking terms is English.

Section 4. The Tandem Skydiving Course

We offer Tandem Skydiving, which you are able to book with us. This can be booked by paying a deposit or by paying in full.

You may also purchase gift vouchers for the above course.

Please note these courses are regulated by the British Parachute Association and you must attain the required standard to complete the Tandem Skydive, including the medical standards as clearly detailed on our Medical Requirements page. If on completion of the training period you do not meet the required safety standard we will not allow you to make the decent for the safety of yourself and your instructor.

Section 5. Price and payments

Prices for Tandem Skydiving Courses are as quoted on our website. However, we will verify prices as part of our online booking procedures so that the correct price will be stated when you pay (either deposit or full payment) for the Skydive. Payment must be made in full prior to, or on arrival to, Skydive St Andrews. The prices on the website include all value added taxes (where applicable).

The Balance payment made on the day to Skydive St Andrews must be made by cash or card. Prices may change at any time, but changes will not affect contracts which have come into force.

5.1 Charges for alterations to Dates, Names and for Non-attendance

To ensure accuracy, any changes required must be done through the booking office, either by telephone or completion of our contact forms on our website. The booking office operates between the hours of 0900hrs – 1700hrs, Monday to Friday. Confirmation will be emailed to you to confirm the amendments. Please note any changes outside the minimum notice period of 10 days prior to the booking date will not incur a charge.

5.2 To change the name on a Gift Voucher

A payment of £25.00 is required to change the name on a Gift Voucher. A new voucher will then be posted to you.

5.3 If you wish to extend a Gift Voucher (before it has expired)

A payment of £30.00 is required at the time of this request. An extended replacement will be emailed to you.

5.4 Failure to attend

Once trained and if the skydive has not been completed on your first visit you will be asked to reschedule to a date that is suitable to you. Failure to attend on a rescheduled date for any reason once the date has been confirmed may, at our discretion, incur a “no show” charge of £50.00. Payment of this charge will be required prior to Skydive St Andrews agreeing a further rescheduled date.

Section 6. Warranties

You warrant and represent to us that:

You are legally capable of entering into binding contracts, and you have full authority, power and capacity to agree to these online booking terms;

Section 7. Booking date

Where we have a valid reason to do so, we may change the Tandem Skydiving Course date by giving you as much notice as possible of the change but any change in date is negotiable.

Section 8. “Cooling off” period

You may cancel a booking at any time within 10 working days following the conclusion of the contract in accordance with Section 3 of these online booking terms, providing that the Tandem Skydiving Course has not actually commenced during that period or you are within the minimum cancellation notice period.

In order to cancel a contract on this basis, you must inform us by writing to: Skydive St Andrews Ltd, Osprey Rd, Fife Airport, Glenrothes, Fife KY6 2SL.

If you book a course inside the minimum cancellation period, then the cooling off period will not apply and you will be unable to cancel the course.

Section 9. Statutory rights

Any statutory rights that you have as a consumer, which cannot be excluded or limited, will not be affected by the online booking terms.

Section 10. Refunds

Booking fee’s or Deposits outside of the cooling off period are non refundable although in some circumstances they may be transferable.

No refunds are possible once inside the booking minimum notice date or are possible once a course has commenced.

Skydive St Andrews does not give refunds due to weather conditions being unsuitable on the day of your skydive. You will be expected to reschedule in this event.

If you cancel a contract and are entitled to a refund, we will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase. We will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any event, within 30 days of the day we received your valid notice of cancellation.

In the event of you requesting an unjustified charge back from your card provider, we will pursue you directly for payment.

Gift Vouchers are strictly non refundable.

Section 12. Force Majeure

In this Section and Section 11 above, “Force Majeure event” is in simple terms any event which is beyond our reasonable control.

Where a force majeure event gives rise to a failure or delay in us performing our obligations under these terms and conditions, those obligations will be suspended for the duration of the force majeure event. Skydiving, like any other aviation-based activites, is very weather dependent. It may be necessary to travel to our location on more than one occasion to complete your Skydive. There are also a number of other factors outside our control, such as an aircraft becoming unserviceable due to it developing a fault or an instructor becoming sick at short notice, which may have a bearing on your course. Any costs associated with such events are not covered in any way by Skydive St Andrews.

Otherwise such Data will routinely be recorded, processed & stored by skydive St Andrews who will use it to contact participants for parachuting purposes, as well as being passed to the National Governing Body for Parachuting in the UK (BPA).

In participating it also needs to be accepted by participants, or in the case of 16 & 17 year olds or vulnerable adults their parents or guardians, that filming & photography may be taken on the ground, in aircraft and “In Air” for both training and marketing purposes, with images routinely posted on training, commercial & social media.
