GIFT VOUCHERS
Using a gift voucher for river tuition – If you decide to book your gift voucher for tuition on the river then you do so with the understanding that there is a chance the river may be in flood and dangerous to fish on your chosen date. Under these circumstances an alternative still water venue will be offered for your tuition. As weather conditions are beyond my control and days in the river season are limited, I cannot re arrange your date for river tuition and will only do so if both river and still water venues are unsuitable for your tuition. clause (see If you “upgrade” a voucher by making a payment for instance to make a half day into a full day, then gift voucher terms and conditions apply to your whole booking.

If we cancel you tuition for tuition booked using a gift voucher (for reasons other than adverse weather) we will re-arrange the date of your tuition and if necessary, extend the expiry date of your voucher to enable you to use it. We will not pay and we accept no liability for any other costs or damages such as but not limited to hotel reservations, train or travel costs. As with any trip, you should take about appropriate travel insurance cover to protect you against any losses though cancellations.

Gift Vouchers are non-refundable and must be used within 18 months. The expiry date for gift vouchers cannot be extended under normal circumstances. Lessons must take place within 18 months of the receipt of the voucher.

To redeem a gift certificate it is recipient’s responsibility to phone or e-mail Bernie Maher to book your session. The date will be arranged by me to be mutually convenient to both parties. You may need to give longer notice mid summer.

I do not contact gift voucher recipients to remind them to use their gift certificate before the 18 month expiry date. It is the sole responsibility of the gift voucher recipient to make sure it is redeemed before it expires.

Gift vouchers are non refundable and have no cash value and may not be resold.

Non attendance – Once the recipient has booked their tuition, if they fail to attend without notifying me, then we will not offer any refund or re-booking and your gift voucher will be no longer valid. I will wait at the venue for a reasonable time until the non-attendance clause applies. If you are going to be late for a session, please phone.

If your gift voucher has a greater value than the option you choose, no refund is provided for the “unused” part of the voucher. However this may be used towards another booking.

The owner does not accept responsibility for vehicles or equipment.
