Any price increases incurred through the change in arrangements must be paid in full immediately. No refund will be given if the price is lower than the originally agreed price.
4. Cancellation by you
   1. In the event that you cancel the Activity session within 24hours of the day of the event or you fail to attend / members of your party fail to attend the session, for any reason including unforeseen illness or infirmity (including experiencing COVID19 symptoms by yourself, a member of your party or your/their household, testing positive or the need to isolate), Celtic Quest Coasteering Ltd shall suffer losses. As such, you agree that any monies paid by you shall be forfeited and paid to Celtic Quest Coasteering Ltd as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.
   2. Cancellation by you up to 24hours before the day of your activity session is subject to the following refund terms:

5. Late arrivals All Celtic Quest Coasteering Ltd activities are programmed throughout the day. In the event of late arrival by you or members of your party, Celtic Quest Coasteering Ltd do not issue refunds.

The team cannot 'just hold the group for half an hour' as other clients may be booked in for that session and it has a knock on effect to the program.
6. Changes by us We reserve the right to make changes at any time to the session and services we provide which become necessary due to circumstances beyond our control.
