TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Please review our Terms and Conditions before booking your jump. If you make a booking with The Parachute Centre, either directly or through an agent, you will be deemed to have accepted these terms and conditions. If you are unsure or have any questions, please contact us before making your booking.

All persons attending the Solo Static Line Course or making a Tandem Skydive are required to purchase Provisional Membership of the British Parachute Association (BPA), valid for twelve months. The cost is included in our prices. Should the cost of membership change, any increase will be charged to the customer. Membership of the BPA includes Third Party Liability insurance up to the value of £2,000,000. Once purchased, membership of the BPA is non-refundable and non-transferable.

The BPA insurance is for Third Party Liability and provides no cover for personal injury or death. Personal accident insurance can be arranged by The Parachute Centre and we recommend that you are adequately covered.

A non-refundable deposit of £50 is required when you book your place. An administration fee of  £50 will be charged if you change the date of your booking with less than seven days notice except in the case of bad weather or operational issues at The Parachute Centre.

Returned Cheques will face an administration charge of £25 

The balance due to The Parachute Centre can be paid at any time up to and including the day of the booking. Once paid, all monies are non-refundable. If the activity is not able to take place due to weather or operational issues, it will be up to you to return to The Parachute Centre on another occasion(s) to complete your jump.

You understand that, despite the best training and equipment, parachuting in any form holds an element of risk and may result in serious injury or death. You voluntarily accept all risks inherent in the sport and agree for yourself and your personal representatives to indemnify and hold harmless The Parachute Centre Ltd. and their representatives against any claim or claims whether on your own account or from third parties arising out of any accident or incident resulting in any loss or damage including bodily injury or death. If you cannot accept the risks you should not participate.

If you arrive at the Centre without all necessary documentation, you may forfeit your activity and all monies paid. If you are unsure about the paperwork required, please contact us.
