Terms and Conditions and Money Back Guarantee

1. If you find you have made a mistake and a falconry day present doesn’t suit the recipient it can be returned within 30 days for a refund.
2. I also give you a money back guarantee the participant will enjoy themself on the day.
3. Value for Money Guarantee. If, having done the experience, you don’t think it has been value for money, speak to me and tell me why not and what you think it is worth and I will refund the difference. If I think you are being silly I may ask you to put it in writing within 7 days but I will issue the refund when this is received. Refunds are the difference between your value for money figure and the cost of the experience excluding postage and gift packaging charges. 
3. No small print (there are some terms) as I have found that the type of person I am dealing with is generally fair and sensible so there is no need for much.
4. If you need to change your booking at the last minute that’s no problem, these things happen.
5. If there is anything else, talk to me and we can probably sort it out. Life’s too short to get worried about little things.
6. There is one line in the sand – If you just don’t turn up there is a re-booking fee of 50% of current pricing.
