5. Changes by You
We will endeavor to meet any alterations to your booking that you request, however these are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed. Any requests must be made in writing. If changes you request result in additional charges, including administration charges you will be responsible for this extra cost.

6. Cancellation by You
Should you unfortunately need to cancel you must notify us in writing. In all cases 25% will be retained to cover administration fees occurred. If you cancel within 30 days prior the start date we will charge 50% of the total booking cost. If you cancel within 7 days of the start date you will be liable to pay 100% of the total booking cost. A cancellation insurance is advised. These cancellation terms apply unless specified in written form otherwise.

7. Changes by Us
We will do our utmost to deliver our services in accordance with what we have confirmed to you, but reserve the right to make unavoidable alternations or cancellation to facilities, services or prices after confirmation if necessary.

We will advise you of any alterations as soon as possible. If it is a major change, which significantly alters the nature of your experience you will have the choice of accepting the change, accepting an alternative experience (if the price is lower, we will refund the difference) or accepting a 50% refund of monies paid. ED will not cancel any experience for reason of political tension or natural disaster unless specifically recommended to do so by the Foreign Office or unless the circumstances fall within the scope of Force Majeure – see below.

We will not refund any incidental expenses you may have incurred as a result of cancellation. Where a major change arises from circumstances amounting to a force majeure (please see below), we will endeavor to refund all sums as yet unpaid by us to our suppliers. Your insurance policy, however, must cover the remainder.

8. Risk
Any information provided by ED on such matters as climate, weather, environmental conditions, clothing, baggage, accommodation, food, transport and special equipment is given in good faith but without responsibility on the part of ED.

It is a fundamental condition of this contract that you accept the hazards involved when undertaking outdoor activities, and you accept that in visiting remote and mountainous regions and areas whose access is subject to weather, tides, and sea or terrain conditions, that there must be a considerable element of flexibility. You must acknowledge that delays and alterations and their results, such as inconvenience and discomfort, are possible where unforeseen circumstances arise.

Participants undertaking outdoor activities as part of this agreement must have a level of fitness commensurate with the services specified, and you are responsible for bringing the appropriate equipment, details of which will be sent to you in advance.

It is important that you read and watch all information sent to you prior to the programme so that you are well prepared for the experience (i.e. welcome pack booklet, Easy Day Info Video).

If, in the opinion of the ED facilitator or staff member, the health, fitness, psychological condition, behaviour or equipment of a participant may compromise the safe provision of the outdoor activities or services specified as part of this contract, or in the event that that participant’s behaviour is considered unacceptably disruptive to the prejudice of other members of the group, we reserve the right to cancel or terminate your contract. In these circumstances you will not be entitled neither to a refund nor compensation.

9. Insurance
To undertake outdoor activities as part of this agreement each participant must be covered by adequate insurance for the duration and type of activity undertaken. The insurance must include cover for cancellation and curtailment, medical and emergency expenses (including evacuation by helicopter), personal accident, injury and death. In the event of emergency medical rescue and/or evacuation during a programme, by whatever means, the responsibility of such costs will be borne by the client. It is therefore essential that adequate cover is in place. Failure to disclose pre-existing medical conditions may render policies invalid.

10. Medical Conditions
If a participant suffers from a medical condition that may affect their, or other people’s, safety or enjoyment of an outdoor activity, you must advise ED at the time of booking. We treat the medical information received in the medical form strictly confidential.

11. Complaints

If the matter cannot be resolved to your satisfaction, please contact ED within 28 days of the end date of your contract and we shall endeavour to provide a prompt resolution.

12. Force Majeure
ED will accept liability for the negligence of its employees causing direct physical injury to participants only to the extent that it is obliged under Spanish law.
