In the interests of health and safety, alcohol and intoxicated persons should be left at home. We endeavour to run the safest, most fun trips possible, therefore age restrictions are in place. Please ask when making your booking and read the description for the activity that you are booking on too.

This must be completed by ALL participants to ensure there is not an increased risk of transmission of COVID-19 and to comply with control measures for the virus. Failure to complete the form will mean you are unable to attend the session and we will not be able to issue a refund for any payments received.

PHOTO CONSENT
GO Vertical makes every effort to capture quality images/footage during your session which are shared free of charge via a private link with you after the session. We sometimes use images to promote our activities via our website and/or social media. Unless you inform us otherwise, we assume that you grant GO Vertical full rights to use images resulting from photography/video filming, and any reproductions or adaptations of the images for publicity or other purposes to help promote GO Vertical. This might include (but is not limited to), the right to use them in GO Vertical’s social media and website. If you DO NOT wish to grant this, please make your instructor aware.
INSURANCE
Even though GO Vertical carries full Public Liability Insurance, it is strongly suggested that participants carry their own personal accident policy that covers them for the activity they are undertaking. This should include mountaineering, climbing, and/or canyoning. Personal accident policies are usually available from your own insurance broker.
BOOKER PLEASE BE AWARE - PARTICIPANTS
ALL participants must be made aware by the person booking the session that Outdoor Adventurous Activities, carry a degree of risk. Even though GO Vertical has tried to minimise these risks, there is still a chance that if gorge walking, participants may fall into cold, turbulent water that is fast flowing, or experience extremes of weather while mountaineering. Participants will only be accepted on the understanding that they are aware of these risks and wish to participate of their own free will.
On receiving your Booking confirmation, you agree to honour and abide by the terms and conditions laid down by GO Vertical, and have made all the participants in your party aware of these terms and conditions.
NATURAL DISASTERS & PANDEMICS - “In no event will we be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever without limitation arising from the contracting of COVID-19 Corona virus whilst engaging in any of our activities. By booking you are agreeing to this and you thereby release and discharge us from any claims and liabilities against us due to any COVID-19 Corona virus circumstance which might occur. In case of session cancellation due to COVID-19 Coronavirus rules, we will of course honour your booking going forward and will offer you a unique +gift voucher or refund which will enable you to re-book for any of our sessions in the future. This will be valid for 1 year from date of the cancelled session. This voucher will then be subject to our “gift Voucher” terms and conditions policy, found above.
No refunds will be offered if cancellation is due to an unforeseeable natural disaster or ‘act of God’ as quite obviously this is out of our control.”
