**Cancellation or alteration by the Company:**

The arrangements for our trips are made many months in advance and are always weather dependent. It is sometimes inevitable that changes may become necessary. The Company reserves the right to change or cancel a trip at any time for any reason. When a day trip may not meet its minimum number of guests you will be required to move to an alternative date. In the event that we are unable to provide the booked trip arrangements and have to change them prior to the start of the trip, you will be given the choice of accepting the change or terminating your booking. If you choose to terminate your booking you will be given the choice of choosing an alternative trip or receiving a full refund of the money you have paid. The Company will make reasonable efforts to keep you informed of any such changes. Force Majeure: No Compensation will be paid, and no liability beyond offering the above mentioned choices, can be accepted where we are forced to make a change as a result of unusual or unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which we could not have avoided given all due care (including but not limited to outbreak of hostilities, civil commotion, riot, riotous assembly, storm, hurricane, gales, lack of wind, tempest and acts of God) or for cancellation of a trip for purposes of consolidation with another trip.
