Terms and Conditions

These terms

1. These are the terms and conditions on which we take bookings for and provide to you our guided tours and workshops, as well as Gathering festival which is booked through a third party and outlined in more detail below. 
2. Please read these terms carefully before you make your booking with us. These terms tell you who we are, how we will take your booking and provide the tour/workshop/Gathering, how the contract between you and us is formed, how you and we may change or end the contract, what to do if there is a problem and other important information. If you think that there is a mistake in these terms or wish to request any changes, please contact us to discuss.
3. Please note, some parts of these terms only apply to consumers and other parts only apply to business customers. We will make it clear if this is the case. You are a consumer if you are an individual acting for purposes that are wholly or mainly outside your trade, business, craft or profession. You are a business customer if you are acting for purposes relating to your trade, business, craft or profession, whether acting personally or through another person acting in your name or on your behalf.

4. If we have to contact you we will do so by telephone or by writing to you at the email address or postal address you provided to us in the booking form.  If you need to change the address provided to us at the time of booking, please contact us by telephone or email.
5. When we use the words “writing” or “written” in these terms, this includes emails.

Confirming your booking

1. To make a guided tour or workshop booking, you will need to complete the booking form on our website and pay the quoted price in full (as displayed on our website). Your booking is only considered to be accepted and confirmed when we email you to confirm that we have accepted your booking (the booking confirmation) at which point the contract between you and us will be formed.
2. The booking form will clearly state:
   1. what dates you have booked a guided tour and/or workshop;
   2. time of day;
   3. the number of people attending the guided tour and/or workshop.
3. Please ensure all the information on the booking form is correct before agreeing to these terms and making payment.
4. If we are unable to accept your booking, we will inform you of this and will return any payment made taking at the time of submission of your booking form. This might be, for example, because our campsite or venue is already booked, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of your booking, because we are unable to meet a date you have specified, or because we consider your proposed booking may damage our reputation or image – we do not accept bookings from any hen parties, stag dos or other large groups (exceeding 12 people), and we do not permit groups who are under 16 years of age without an adult present.
5. We will assign an booking reference to your booking and tell you what it is when we accept your booking. It will help us if you can tell us the booking reference whenever you contact us about your booking.

If you are a business customer

1. This paragraph 4 only applies if you are a business customer
2. If you are not a consumer, you confirm that you have authority to bind any business on whose behalf you book a safari and/or camping and/or venue.
3. These terms, the booking form, and the final details (provided under paragraph 9) constitute the entire agreement between you and us and supersede and extinguish all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations and understandings between us, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter.
4. You acknowledge that in entering into the contract you do not rely on any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in these terms or any document expressly referred to in them
5. You and we agree that neither you nor us shall have any claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation based on any statement in the contract.

Price and payment

1. Our online booking form indicates the total price of your guided tour and/or workshop (which includes VAT). This will include any additional extras you have chosen to add.  We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of our tours and workshops advised to you are correct. However please see paragraph 5.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the services you order. 
2. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we provide the services, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the services in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
3. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the tours and workshops we offer may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your booking so that, where the service’s correct price at your booking date is less than our stated price at your booking date, we will charge the lower amount. If the service’s correct price at your booking date is higher than the price stated on our website, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your booking.  If we accept and process your booking where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and not perform the booking.
4. We will take payment in full for the booking to secure your place on the tour or workshop.  We are also able to take payment from you by card, over the phone or provide you with a hard copy invoice. Your booking will not be confirmed until we have issued you with a booking confirmation – see paragraph 3.1.
5. We accept payments made online, through our website, or over the phone.
6. All bookings are non-refundable, except in the circumstances detailed in paragraph 21.

If you want to make a change to your booking

1. If you wish to make a change to your booking in any way, please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the booking, or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. We will confirm any changes with you in writing.

If we need to change or postpone your booking

1. We may change or postpone your booking:
   1. to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
   2. make changes to the booking and/or services as requested by you or notified by us to you (see paragraph 6);
   3. to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat; or
   4. in response to an event outside our control (see paragraph 21). You understand these changes may affect your booking.
2. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be changing your booking or postponing your booking, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency.

2. Please note, if you arrive later than 15 minutes before the tour or workshop is due to start, the tour or workshop may proceed without you, be cancelled due to non-attendance or the length of time of the tour or workshop may be reduced.  You will not be entitled to any refund, in whole or part, for the booking in these circumstances.

Entry and security

1. During your booking period, we give you a non-exclusive right to enter and leave the grounds of Wild Ken Hill or Ken Hill Farms & Estate.

   2. remove any person, vehicle or piece of equipment from Wild Ken Hill or Ken Hill Farms & Estate and/or its grounds.
3. You and your party must at all times comply with the security and health and safety rules governing conduct at our campsite and safaris, tours and workshops, as well as the instructions of our staff.

In order to preserve the integrity of their herd behaviour and mentality, we ask that whether you are on a guided tour or workshop, you do not approach or try to touch or feed any of the animals.
