1. Agreement to Terms

Welcome to Climb Devon. These Terms of Service (”Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (”you” or ”the Client”), and Climb Devon (”we,” ”us,” or ”our”), concerning your access to and use of the climbdevon.com website (the ”Site”) and the booking and participation in any course, guiding day, or activity (the ”Services”). By accessing the Site or booking a Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all of these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with all of these terms, you are expressly prohibited from using the Site and our Services and must discontinue use immediately.

2. Booking and Payments

All bookings are subject to our separate Booking & Cancellation Policy, which is hereby incorporated into these Terms. Please review the Booking & Cancellation Policy in full on our website before confirming your booking.

3. Client Obligations and Responsibilities

Your safety and the safety of the group are our highest priority. Your booking is accepted on the understanding that you agree to the following obligations:

3.1. Medical Disclosure: You must declare any medical condition, illness, injury (including recent sprains or breaks), or allergies (e.g., wasp stings) that may affect your ability to participate in the booked activity. This information must be provided in confidence at the time of booking. Failure to disclose relevant medical information may result in your exclusion from the Service with no refund.

3.2. Physical Fitness: You must ensure that you are suitably fit for the Service you have booked. Descriptions of our courses are available on our Site. If you have any doubt about the fitness level required, you must contact us to discuss it before booking.

3.3. Following Instructions: You must follow all safety instructions given by the instructor (Jamie) at all times. The instructor’s decisions are final. If, in the instructor’s professional opinion, your behaviour (e.g., failure to follow instructions, being under the influence of alcohol) is unsafe to yourself or the group, we reserve the right to remove you from the activity. No refund will be issued in this event.

3.4. Equipment: We will provide all specialist safety equipment (e.g., helmets, harnesses, ropes). You are responsible for bringing suitable personal clothing (e.g., waterproofs, warm layers, appropriate footwear) for the activity and weather conditions.

4. Acknowledgment of Inherent Risks

This is a critical term of our agreement. By booking a Service, you acknowledge and agree that:

4.1. Activities are Inherently Dangerous: Rock climbing, hill walking, mountaineering, and navigation (”the Activities”) are activities with a danger of personal injury or death.

4.2. Risks Include (but are not limited to): These inherent risks include, but are not limited to, injury from falls, falling rocks, loose or unstable terrain, equipment failure, and sudden and unpredictable changes in weather.

4.3. Acceptance of Risk: While we will take all reasonable precautions to minimise these risks, you acknowledge that they cannot be eliminated entirely. **By booking and participating in a Service, you knowingly accept and assume all such inherent risks** and take responsibility for your own actions.

5. Liability and Insurance

5.1. Our Insurance: Climb Devon holds appropriate Public Liability Insurance.

5.2. Personal Property: We accept no liability for any loss, damage, or theft of your personal property (e.g., cameras, phones, clothing, or vehicles) during a Service. You are responsible for your own belongings.

5.3. Personal Insurance: We strongly recommend that you take out your own personal accident and cancellation insurance to cover you for the duration of the activity, especially for multi-day courses or in case of personal injury.

5.4. Exclusions: Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude our liability for death or personal injury caused by our (Climb Devon’s) negligence.
