1. This website is owned by Russell Wood t/a five elements adventure training (FEAT), in England in Great Britain. I am  a hiking guide with a focus on training (not a travel agency) whose mission is to promote fitness and an affinity with the outdoors as promoted and sold on this website www.feat-uk.com. The physical training I provide is occasionally in areas where its useful to help facilitate accommodation and sometimes transport. When I do help facilitate accommodation and transport this is done on a not-for-profit basis to a limited amount of people.

​

2. There are no rights applying to Packages and LTA under regulation when booking a hiking tour with FEAT. However, I will make every effort to ensure that everything is in place for you to enjoy our training and treks with us. I do not sell nor offer for sale air holidays and flights; hence the activities are not ATOL protected. ATOL is a protection scheme for air holidays and flights managed by the Civil Aviation Authority.

 

 

3. FEAT is not responsible for the proper performance of travel services provided by third parties, including but not limited to accommodation, flight operators and taxi drivers. If you are dissatisfied with their services, please contact the relevant service provider.


Please contact us by e-mail on info@feat-uk.com if you need any further clarification on the issues above.

 

4. Bookings

4.1 Our acceptance of your booking will take place when we email you to accept it.

​

4.2 Its okay to change your mind. However,  you have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your booking to change your mind and receive a refund. This is in line with the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. We will refund you by the method you used for payment. However, there may be fees involved depending on the amount of time the event is due.

4.3 In the unlikely event that we cannot accept your booking we will inform you of this by email and will refund the activity booked. This might be, as an example, because we are unable to provide the activity due to unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control.

​

5. Price & Information on our website

 
5.1 The price of any activities (which includes VAT where applicable) will be the price indicated on the event title and the confirmation page. The price, unless clearly stated does not include travel and food. Additionally, unless specifically requested by the client we do not provide any kit except for basic first aid.

5.2 We endeavour to ensure that the descriptions and prices on our website are accurate. However, sometimes errors occur despite best efforts, therefore we reserve the right to correct prices and other details in such circumstances. After a transaction has taken place we reserve the right to offer refunds or request the settlement of difference if a mistake has taken place – this is limited up until the time of service commencement.

​

6. Sports Activities

6.1 All the activities are subject to availability. Due to the nature of the some of the activities, these can change at short notice. In the event that a particular activity is not available we will endeavour to provide another activity at a different date.

6.2 Cancellation by us. We reserve the right to cancel any activities that are subject to a minimum number of participants where there are insufficient numbers or where we cannot perform the activity due to unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances and we notify you as soon as reasonable possible. When a cancellation occurs, we will offer you a Voucher for a substitute activity. If you are dissatisfied with our offer and decide to refuse it, we will make a refund of the total price you paid to us at the time of booking. If it is necessary to cancel your travel arrangements, compensation will not be payable by us in the event of Force Majeure, adverse weather or environmental condition, safety related concern and travel restrictions. You should take out a Sports and Travel insurance to cover yourself from these eventualities.

6.3 Cancellation by you. If you need to cancel your activity you must contact us immediately. All cancellation requests must be emailed and acknowledged by us.  Since we incur costs we reserve the right to charge a fee to cancellations as follows.

We understand that life gets in the way so we will handle any cancelations sensitively and will help where we can.

6.4 Minors. It is your sole responsibility as a parent or guardian of minors to ensure that it is safe and appropriate for them to attend. Parents or guardians will be asked to sign a consent form prior to departure.

6.5 Adverse weather. We accept no responsibility for weather conditions experienced during your trekking activity. Be aware when booking with us we operate in poor weather, in fact we train to thrive in poor weather. Therefore, it is unlikely we will cancel unless there are weather warnings with a severe risk to life. Whilst we will advise on clothing it is your responsibility to have the correct outdoor wear. We reserve the right to cancel a clients participation, without refund, if proper attire (as decided by our staff) is not adhered to.

6.6 Outdoor activities provided by FEAT are physically demanding. You must be competent and fit enough to undertake these sports and you must take all reasonable precautions for your own safety and the safety of any other Member for whom you might be responsible. When you are undertaking a hike under the guidance of our staff you agree to follow and abide by their reasonable instructions. You must accept that guides are solely responsible for your own safety and have the right to prevent you from participating if, in their reasonable opinion, you cannot participate safely because your fitness is inadequate.

​

7 Equal opportunity and discrimination. FEAT is committed to promoting equal opportunities in outdoor activities. All participants will receive respect regardless of age, disability, gender, marital or civil partner status, pregnancy, race, colour, nationality, ethnicity, nationality, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. Discrimination is therefore forbidden and leads to participants being immediately excluded from any activity with us. You agree to not discriminate against or harass participants including FEAT’s employees. No refund will be made by us on your failure to comply with this matter.  

​
