Terms and Conditions for Parachuting

Booking Terms and Conditions

1. If you are jumping for a charity and wish to recover reimbursement of the booking deposit and the cost of the training and the jump, you must raise the minimum sponsorship money appropriate for your chosen jump as detailed on this website
2. The cost for the training and the jump must be paid on the day of training and this payment is totally non-refundable even if you do not jump for any reason.
3. Should the weather be unsuitable for jumping on the day it will be up to you to return to the parachute centre on another occasion(s) if necessary to complete your jump.
4. All booking deposits are completely non-refundable. However, the standard booking deposit is valid for twelve months from the date of booking and should you be unable to complete your jump due to inclement weather alternative arrangements will be made. This fee is payable to Skyline Promotions Ltd and covers various costs including without limitation assisting you to find an airfield where you may carry out your jump.
5. On payment of the booking deposit we will contact you to confirm the date and venue of your jump
6. A fee of £30 will be charged for all cancellations or changes of jump date. This is in addition to the standard booking deposit and is not in any way deductible from any sponsorship money raised for a charity.
7. Skyline Promotions Ltd in consideration of the payment of the booking deposit will take all reasonable steps to arrange your jump at your nearest available parachute centre but since parachuting is a very popular sport, we may be forced to offer you an alternative due to lack of availability at some centres. Skyline Promotions Ltd acts as your agent in arranging for your jump and not as the agent for the parachute centre. Skyline Promotions Ltd use only those parachute centres which are affiliated to the British Parachute Association as the National Governing Body of the sport. Accordingly, no representations or warranties of any kind are made by Skyline Promotions Ltd as to the suitability, capability, quality of training or operation of any parachute centre. Any queries or complaints with regards to these aspects should be referred to the parachute centre concerned.

Medical Restrictions

For a tandem skydive you must be at least 16 years old and be under 15 stone in weight. For both static line jumps you must be aged between 16 and 49 inclusive and under 15 stone for a square jump and 13 stone for a round jump (with your weight in proportion to your height for both). Please note some centres have lower weight limits - please contact us for details.

The principal medical restrictions for all jumps are diabetes, epilepsy, fits, recurrent blackouts, heart or lung disease, mental illness and some cases of asthma but if you are in any doubt please contact us for further information. You will be required to sign a medical form before your jump declaring your fitness to take part - this will be sent to you upon receipt of this reservation form but is also available on request. Those under the age of 18 will need the medical form signed by a parent or guardian; those aged 40 and over will need it signed by their doctor.

Insurance

On payment to the parachute centre of the fee for the training and the jump, all jumpers are covered by the British Parachute Association Liability Insurance Policy up to £2 million for liability to Third Parties. Please note that this does not cover you or your dependants for personal injury including death. You are therefore strongly recommended to take out your own insurance cover for personal accident benefits to whatever level you consider appropriate. You can do this either in conjunction with your own insurance broker or you may take advantage of the insurance detailed on the online booking page

I voluntarily accept all the risks inherent in the sport and I agree for myself and my personal representatives to indemnify and hold harmless Skyline Promotions Ltd against any claim or claims whether on my own account or from third parties arising out of any accident or incident resulting in any loss or damage (including bodily injury and death).
