   refers to the person for whom the flight is intended.
4. It is our intention that all terms of the contract are contained in these terms and conditions, in the brochures and
   associated documents issued by us. If you wish to rely upon any variation in these terms, you should ensure that the
   variations are agreed by us in writing.

   Our obligations to you:
6. The Voucher will entitle you to participate in a hot air balloon flight experience within 12 months of its purchase
   date.
7. The Voucher is not redeemable for cash.
8. It is intended that the balloon will be in the air for approximately one hour, but the pilot has ultimate responsibility
   for deciding the duration and conduct of any flight and the appropriate time and place of any landing. We cannot
   guarantee that a flight will follow any particular direction or be in the air for any particular length of time. Flights can
   range between thirty minutes and ninety minutes although the average flight will be between forty five minutes and
   ninety minutes.
9. If we have to postpone your flight on six or more occasions and your voucher is valid for a period of less than two
   months, we will extend the validity period of your voucher to include the next three months of the flying season
   which is April to October inclusive as long as you have satisfied clause 21. If this extends the validity of the
   voucher into the flying season next year, the voucher will also be valid for the intervening months.
10. Full payment is required to book a flight.
11. We will make refunds for the voucher cost, not your donation to The Grand Appeal in the event of:
    • If we have agreed in writing at the time of the voucher purchase that the flight must be taken on a specified date or within a specified period of not more than one month and we are unable to fly during that time.
    • If you pass away.
12. Refunds in any other circumstances are at our discretion and if granted are subject to our administration fee as
    above, your donation to The Grand Appeal will not be refundable.
13. Our administration fee is 30% of the voucher price plus 10% of the voucher price for each and every cancelled
    attempt to fly up to a total maximum of 60% of the voucher price.
14. We carry third party and passenger liability insurance with a combined single limit of at least £1,000,000. If you do not consider £1,000,000 would be adequate to compensate you for any loss whether personal injury or death, you should take out your own additional cover.
15. We will not be liable for death or personal injury above the level of our insurance cover unless it has been caused by our recklessness.
16. Safety is our prime concern The pilot reserves the right to cancel any flight, right up to the point of take-off, if he/
    she is not is not happy that the flight can be conducted safely. Without exception, the pilot’s decision is final. We
    reserve the right to alter the itinerary or cancel any flight for operational, meteorological or safety reasons.
17. Ballooning is wholly weather dependant and flying wheelchair equipped balloons requires even more perfect
    weather. This combination together with British weather means that it is entirely possible that whilst you may fly
    on the very first date you choose and indeed this happens, it is highly likely that several bookings may be made
    and cancelled before you are able to fly. We simply cannot take any risks when flying wheelchair equipped
    passengers. Please do not purchase a voucher unless you understand fully that you may need to be patient in order
    for us to safely fly you.
18. In the event of a flight being cancelled, you will be asked to reschedule your flight for another day.
19. We cannot be held liable for any inconvenience, expenses incurred or consequential loss in the event of a flight
    being cancelled.
    
    
    Your obligations to us:
20. Your voucher is valid for a period of 12 months from the date it was bought. If your flight is not taken within that time you will lose the right to participate in a flight unless you have booked flights on six occasions, which have been postponed by us, or the validity period of the voucher has been extended for some other reason under these terms and conditions. There will be no refund in this circumstance.
21. You must contact the booking office within three months of the purchase date and book a flight within 9 months
    of the purchase date. Failure to do so will result in the loss of voucher validity and we will not make any refund in
    these circumstances.

    25 and for any other reason.

    all requests and instructions issued by any of our representatives and take particular care to abide by any safety
    instructions given. The pilot has complete discretion as to whether to allow you to take part in the flight and will

    to transfer your voucher.

    regular sites, you must telephone our office at least four weeks before your intended chosen date. Alternative
    launch sites cannot be guaranteed and may incur additional costs.
35. If we agree to fly from a site that you have arranged, the final decision as to its suitability will rest with the pilot.
    We reserve the right to fly from an alternative launch site if we think that using the one you have suggested may
    compromise the safety of the flight.
36. If we agree to fly from your suggested site and you have confirmed to us that it is suitable based on our
    requirements, we reserve the right to make a charge to cover additional travel and any accommodation required
    in order to do so. Discretion to fly from alternative sites is with us and we recommend this is discussed with our
    office prior to making any booking as we cannot amend the launch site details after a booking is made. Further, if
    we arrive on a site you have confirmed is suitable to discover this is not the case, and the flight does not take place
    as a direct result, there would be no refund or rescheduled flight.

    the office prior to making a booking.
