Paid Private Group, Corporate & ADF Course Bookings
Applicability
These terms apply to all paid private group, corporate and Australian Defence Force (ADF) training or sailing course bookings with SVSP. By confirming a booking, you agree to these terms.
Payments
- A merchant processing fee applies to all credit card payments.
- A deposit of 50% of the total booking fee is required to confirm a booking. The deposit secures third-party logistics and is non-refundable to the extent it covers non-refundable costs incurred by SVSP, except as required under Australian Consumer Law.
- The remaining balance is due 30 days before the booking date.
Cancellation & Non-Payment
Client cancellation:
- More than 7 days before the booking: A refund will be issued less any non-refundable third-party costs incurred by SVSP and applicable credit card fees.
- 7 days or less before the booking: The booking is non-refundable, except as required under Australian Consumer Law.
Non-payment: If the deposit is not received, SVSP may cancel the booking without notice and release the dates to the public. If the balance is not paid by the due date, SVSP may cancel the booking and retain any non-refundable costs incurred. While SVSP may attempt to contact the organiser, payment remains the organiser’s responsibility.
Weather & Event Changes
Bookings are subject to weather conditions. SVSP may reschedule or cancel bookings where weather or other circumstances affect the safety or feasibility of the booking.
If SVSP cancels a booking and cannot provide a suitable alternative, a refund will be issued for amounts paid, less any non-refundable third-party costs already incurred by SVSP, except where Australian Consumer Law requires a full refund.
Where a booking is rescheduled, amounts paid may be transferred to the rescheduled date by agreement.
Acknowledgement
By confirming a booking, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agreed to these terms and conditions.
Australian Consumer Law
Nothing in these terms limits your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
