Terms and Conditions

Maverix Snow Ltd reserves the right to refuse admission or terminate a person’s snow activity without giving a refund. 

If you are more than 15 minutes late for your snow activity admission may be refused due to compromised enjoyment of others in your activity. In these instances no refund or transfer will be offered.

If you arrive more than 15 minutes late for your snow activity we reserve the right to refuse your attendance in the interest of safety and the groups progression. If for slope technical issues, staffing issues or lack of course attendees we may be required to cancel your course. If this happens we will aim to inform you as soon as possible. If this does happen we will give you the opportunity for a full refund or store credit.

Maverix Snow Ltd accepts no responsibility for personal injury, or loss, or damage to personal property which may occur whilst on attending a snow activity.

Depending on the amount of notice of cancellations we receive the following credits will apply which can be used towards an alternative snow activity.

i) When cancellation is received 48 hours or more prior to the start of your snow activity, a 50% credit towards an alternative snow activity will be offered. Credits are valid for 6 months from the date of cancellation.

If for slope technical issues, staffing issues or lack of course attendees we may be required to cancel your snow activity. If this happens we will aim to inform you as soon as possible. If this does happen we will give you the opportunity for a full refund or store credit (valid for 6 months). 

Cancelling a course will result in the loss any deposit paid at the time of booking or full payment for accommodation only options. Cancelling less than 6 weeks prior to the start of the course will result in the attendee being liable to pay to Maverix Snow Ltd the full cost of the course less any deposit paid prior to the cancellation. Cancellations or any changes to the original booking must be notified IN WRITING ONLY to Maverix Snow Ltd via info@maverix.org. Until you receive confirmation of your cancellation the booking will stand.

Verbal instructions to cancel must be confirmed in writing to be acted upon. This is standard practice. Final payments are required no later than 4 weeks prior to the start of the course. For bookings placed under 4 weeks, then full payment will be required immediately. You will be sent an email 6 weeks prior to your course date where you must re-instate your intent to attend the course. If we do not hear back from you within 5 working days, your place on the course will be open to other clients.

Attendees should arrange suitable insurance in place to cover for unfortunate accidents, injuries or missed courses. No monies will be refunded by Maverix Snow Ltd where a course is curtailed as a result of an injury sustained either before or whilst participating in the course or for any other reason such as the need to return home early because of a family bereavement.

In such an instance, the only way for an attendee to recover any costs is by making a claim on his or her own insurance policy. To assist you with this process, Maverix Snow Ltd can raise a cancellation invoice.

Maverix Snow Ltd cannot be held responsible for arranging insurance or processing claims.

Insurance polices should cover curtailment and cancellation as well as medical, repatriation insurance and any other risks, such at theft and additional activities you wish to attend whilst attending a course including off-piste riding in the winter and summer and snow park (freestyle) riding in the winter and summer. 

It is the responsibility of the attendee to check that the insurance is in place an that is is adequate for the requirements of the course.

In addition there will be no refunds for attendees who are unwilling or unable to complete sections of the coaching course. Attendees should make sure they are at the required skill level, as riders who do not meet the required standards will be unable to complete their course and will not be offered a refund.

BOOKING YOUR HOLIDAY:You must pay a deposit as the minimum guarantee of your intent to attend the course, with that effect you will have read and accepted these terms.

PAYING FOR YOUR HOLIDAY: You pay a deposit or full payment if within 4 weeks of departure. You will be sent a balance request email. If your balance is not received by the due date, your holiday may be considered cancelled and will be subject to a cancellation fee. On receipt you must check your confirmation and inform us immediately if it is not correct otherwise we cannot accept liability for any inaccuracies. Payment receipts will be issued via email.

INSURANCE: It is essential that you travel with a fully comprehensive policy and acquaint yourself with its terms. Should you or any member of your party not take insurance, you absolve us of all possible liabilities and consequences in respect of matters that otherwise would be covered.

YOUR PASSPORT: If you hold a valid British or EU passport you do not need a visa or permit. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have a valid passport and, if you are not a British Citizen or hold an EU passport, to ensure that you have a suitable visa.

SPECIAL REQUESTS: We will endeavour to meet special requests or preferences but no guarantee can be given. Any request must be shown on your online booking form but cannot be accepted as a condition of booking unless specifically agreed by us in writing, to info@maverix.org

DEPARTURE AND ARRIVAL TIMES: Travel arrangements will be the sole responsibility of yourself. We will not be held responsible for failure to attend the camp due travel delays or missed departures or unforeseen travel issues (Force Majeure). In that respect no refunds will be offered. You are advised to use our travel guides to help you.

YOUR LUGGAGE: We cannot accept any responsibility for lost or stolen items on route or in the resort.

IF YOU CHANGE YOUR BOOKING: After our confirmation has been issued, changes should be notified in writing to info@maverix.org

LIVE AND LET LIVE: While on holiday you have to consider other people and your booking is accepted on this understanding. We reserve the right to refuse admittance and/or re-admittance to the accommodation to clients who breach any applicable rules or whose behaviour, abuse, bad language or health in our opinion or that of any person in authority impairs the comfort, or well being of others, their safety and the safety of employees, or damage to property.

IF YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT: If there is something not to your liking whilst on holiday, you must report it immediately to the supplier of the services in question and our resort representative, thereby giving them the opportunity to remedy the problem. We cannot accept liability in relation to any claim, which does not involve death, injury or illness if this procedure is not followed.

ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR BOOKING: When we receive your booking deposit, we will send you confirmation which acts as our acceptance of your booking. A binding contract between us comes into existence when we issue the confirmation which is subject to English Law and the jurisdiction of English courts.

OUR PRICE PROMISE: Whilst everything commercially possible will be done to avoid the need to levy surcharges, the total holiday price may however be subject to surcharges in relation to Government or any other government actions (such as VAT increases), a drop in exchange rates. Your holiday and all, instruction and lift passes are priced at the exchange rates listed below. Any drop in the exchange rate may result in these items being re-invoiced at the revised exchange rates. In these cases we will absorb a total amount equivalent to 2% of the relevant price (which excludes insurance and amendment charges). In the unlikely event of needing to surcharge, only amounts in excess of 2% will be charged plus an administration fee not exceeding £1 and/or an amount to cover travel agents commission. We reserve the right to increase or decrease prices at any time prior to a booking being made.

IF WE CHANGE YOUR HOLIDAY: It is unlikely that we will have to make any alteration to your booking. However, as holidays are planned months in advance you will understand that we reserve the right to make changes to holidays and web site details both before and after you book. If a significant change to your holiday arrangements is made, we will advise you as soon as reasonably possible (if there is time before departure) when you will have the choice of; a. accepting the changed arrangements or b. purchasing another available holiday from us (and paying or receiving a refund in respect of any price difference) or c. cancelling your holiday and receiving a full refund of all monies paid to us.

IF WE CANCEL A HOLIDAY: We may sometimes be forced to cancel a holiday as all holidays operate subject to a minimum number of clients. We will not however cancel your holiday less than 4 weeks before departure, unless we are forced to do so as a result of "Force Majeure" as described in these conditions. A situation could arise, whereby circumstances amounting to "Force Majeure" as defined in these conditions force us to cancel your holiday within 4 weeks of departure or curtail your holiday after the date of departure. In such a very unusual situation we regret that beyond any money recoverable by us we could not make any refunds, pay compensation or be responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by you.

DEALING WITH COMPLAINTS: In the event of a complaint we will try to settle it swiftly and amicably.

FORCE MAJEURE - IMPORTANT: Liability cannot be accepted where delays, changes or cancellations or the non-performance or improper performance of our obligations in whole or in part, are caused by events amounting to Force Majeure, (i.e. any event which we or the supplier of the services in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid.) This includes events such as war or threat of war, riots or civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, adverse weather, poor snow conditions, high winds, traffic conditions, closure of resorts or mechanical failure or other circumstances amounting to Force Majeure. We will of course use our best endeavours to help resolve any situation.

Helmets and Protection Equipment

Use of an approved snow helmet is mandatory for all attendees. Protective armour, including back, knee, elbow, wrist and impact shorts is also recommended for all attendees.
