Reserving a place on a course:
When you have decided on a course date you will need to complete and submit a booking form.
On receipt of the booking form we will issue a course programme and an invoice.
Course payment and booking:
A place on a course can only be confirmed once payment is received by bank transfer.
If paying a deposit, the balance of the course fee is due six weeks (42 days) prior to the course start date.
Amendment / Cancellation by the customer:
All cancellations must be in writing by email and acknowledged by Phill George Mountaineering.
If you cancel your place on a course within 6 weeks (42 days) of the course start date, on the commencement date of the course, or during / after the course, we will not be able to refund your payment or move your booking on to a future course date.
If you wish to amend your booking (change to another course date) within the 6 week (42 day) cancellation / amendment period, we will do our best to try and fill your original place so that you can move your payment on to a different course.
If we are unable to fill your place we are unable to offer this and you will need to make a new booking.
We recommend that you take out personal insurance to cover cancellation on your part.
