Booking and Payment
1. Payment Details
If booking more than 4 weeks in advance, you pay 30% of the total booking to secure your place(s), the remainder is paid 4 weeks in advance of the date of arrival. If booking less than 4 weeks in advance, we ask for the total amount.
If we do not receive the full amount by/on the due dates(s) How Stean Gorge LLP’s management will assume you no longer wish to proceed with the booking, those reserved places(s) become available and we reserve the right to treat the booking as cancelled. If you have any queries about your booking please contact the Booking Office on 01423 755666. The payment process is free of charge to debit or credit card users.
2. Cancellation
Unfortunately there are occasions when you may need to postpone your adventure/holiday at short notice, if you simply do not turn up you will lose your deposit. All deposits will not be refunded but may be transferable to another date if sufficient notice is given.
3. Prices
Once you have booked your place(s) and paid the deposit, the price of your booking as shown on your invoice cannot be increased. The prices, offers and information printed in our brochure are valid at the time of publication. We reserve the right to increase or reduce these prices or amend these offers or information at any time after publication and in future editions of the brochure. You will be advised of any change at the time of booking.
4. Unforeseen Circumstances
Highly unlikely in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales but it has to be said that we regret we cannot accept liability where How Stean Gorge LLP is prevented or affected by reason of circumstances amounting to ‘Force Majeure’. Circumstances amounting to ‘Force Majeure’ include any event which we could not, even with all due care, foresee such as war, threat of war, riot, civil strife, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, acts of God, adverse weather conditions and all similar events.
