Jersey Uncovered
Terms & Conditions
Thank you for getting in touch with Jersey Uncovered. We look forward to meeting you and giving you a memorable and rewarding experience of our wonderful Island.
Like anybody doing this, we need to have a few Terms and Conditions. These are they. When you make a booking it is on the basis that you accept and agree to them.
Booking
A Booking Form will be provided by Jersey Uncovered, and this needs to be completed and returned to Jersey Uncovered to book a tour.
Bookings may be sent via email to: info@jerseyuncovered.com or via post to the individual guide whom you have chosen.
Our contract
The contract for your tour will be with one or more members of Jersey Uncovered.
Your booking will be accepted when your guide has issued an invoice to you for your tour at which point and on which date the contract for your tour shall come into existence.
Payment
Following the initial booking a deposit of 20% of the tour fee is generally required to fully reserve the tour (unless otherwise agreed).
Full payment of the balance must be received at least 14 working days before the tour takes place. Please quote your invoice number when making payment.
You may pay by one of the following methods:
Credit Card
Bank Transfer
Cash
Jersey Goods and Service Tax (GST) does not apply to tour fees.
Confirmation of booking
By completing the booking form, you agree that all written communications with you by your guide will be made by email to the address specified in your booking form.
Bookings will be confirmed by email after payment of the deposit is received.
Receipts will be sent only on request.
Agents – please ensure you send a copy of these Terms and Conditions and the booking form to your group leaders.
Cancellation by client
Cancellations may be by phone, in writing, or by email.
Where a cancellation is received more than 30 days before commencement of the tour a full refund of any monies paid will be made.
Where a cancellation is received less than 30 days but more than 14 days before commencement of the tour, the 20% deposit will be retained.
If less than 14 days’ notice is given when cancelling a tour or a guide booked for a tour, or if the group fails to arrive, the total amount of the tour fee will be retained to pay the guide(s).
Cancellation by Jersey Uncovered/Your Guide
Whilst every attempt is made to ensure that tours actually run, Jersey Uncovered reserves the right to modify the content of the tour when conditions are likely to be dangerous or unsuitable.
When such a modification is not possible, Jersey Uncovered will notify you of cancellation as soon as practicable.
In the event of cancellation, you will be offered the choice of (a) a full refund of fees paid or (b) another tour on a different date.
Jersey Uncovered is not responsible for any travel or accommodation costs incurred.
Liability
Jersey Uncovered, or any of their partner organisations with whom they work, and your individual guide accept no liability for any loss, damage or injury to persons or property, from any cause whatsoever, in connection with your booked tour.
Clients should be aware that walking tours will involve gentle to moderate walking in urban street conditions, on cliff paths with suitably qualified guides, and in rural and wooded areas, or through Heritage sites, in varying weather. Each client should satisfy him/herself that he/she is sufficiently fit, and in possession of the appropriate clothes and equipment.
Complaints
Any complaint about a tour or your guide should be made to Jersey Uncovered (info@jerseyuncovered.com) and to your guide.
Jersey Uncovered will handle the complaint on behalf of your guide in accordance with its complaint procedures but as Jersey Uncovered acts only as agent for the guides, it accepts no responsibility for the conduct of your tour.
