Terms & Conditions

Tree Adventures, by its nature (swinging, climbing and jumping around up to 14 metres above the ground), can be dangerous. Although Tree Adventures Limited (hereafter referred to as Tree Adventures) will take every precaution to ensure your safety and enjoyment, please be aware that accidents can happen. As it is a physical outdoor activity, there is always a chance of injury. These Terms and Conditions limit Tree Adventures’ liability, and define your rights and obligations.

PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY.

By making your booking with Tree Adventures, you agree to be bound by all of the Terms and Conditions contained in this document.
All bookings are subject to availability.

Bookings

A confirmed booking is essential on any day to guarantee entrance to Tree Adventures. Bookings can be made through our secure online reservation system. Tree Adventures will confirm your reservation by email which indicates our acceptance of your reservation. Tree Adventures makes no guarantees of availability for anyone without a confirmed booking.
At the time of booking, you will be required to provide your credit card details, and a deposit of $25.00 per person booked will be charged to your credit card immediately. You must make payment of the entire balance remaining on the day of your reservation on-site at Tree Adventures prior to climbing.
Booking numbers must be accurate, and group size is not considered flexible. A change in group size without prior notification may result in the loss of your deposit, a cancellation fee or additions to the booking not being able to participate. See the “Amendments to Bookings” section below for more details.
During weekdays outside of school holidays and public holidays a minimum booking of 6 full paying participants is required for Tree Adventures to open. No complimentary vouchers that reduce this number will be accepted.
Tree Adventures works diligently to protect the security of your credit card information. Your credit card details are not processed or transmitted through or via Tree Adventures’ website. All transactions are processed through a secure payment service provider.
Tree Adventures uses Windcave to provide this service. Windcave hosts and manages the payment page.
Tree Adventures reserves the right to require the balance of payment for a booking to be made as one payment.

Amendments to Bookings

Requests for amendments to existing bookings, including rescheduling, may be made at any time, however, while Tree Adventures will attempt to accommodate requested amendments they may not be accepted, and a cancellation fee of $25 may be incurred. Any prior payments will count towards the cancellation fee.
If unable to get through to us by phone, leaving a message or sending an email before the specified time is considered reasonable notice for postponement or cancellation.
Weekends, School Holidays & Public Holidays: During weekends, school holidays and public holidays a reduction of more than 2 participants must be made by 5:00 pm the day prior to the booking, or a cancellation fee of $25 per absentee above 2 will be charged.

Cancellation by Tree Adventures

Tree Adventures reserves the right to reschedule or cancel all bookings.
If a booking is cancelled by Tree Adventures it can be postponed to a later date, or a full refund will be given.

Cancellation due to Weather

Tree Adventures is an outdoor activity, and operates during the majority of weather conditions, including heavy rain. If your reason for cancellation is due to weather, our normal cancellation policy, as described above, applies.
In the circumstances that Tree Adventures closes due to unsafe weather conditions, your deposit will be refunded in full.
If you are undertaking the activities when a park closure takes place, and you have completed up to 50% of your chosen adventure option, you may either reschedule your reservation or receive a refund less $25 of the total cost of your reservation.
If you are undertaking the activities when a park closure takes place, and you have completed more than 50% of your chosen adventure option, no refund will be given.

Non-Completion of Activities

If a participant commences climbing and chooses to stop or discontinue climbing before completion of their courses, no refund will be given. This applies to participants who are unable to finish their chosen course option due to their own time restraints or fatigue.
If a participant chooses not to climb immediately after completing their safety briefing, they will be given a refund less $25.
If a participant chooses to change to a lower-priced adventure option after they are checked in at the park, they are not entitled to a refund.
Participants taking more than three hours from check in time to complete their selected course option may not be allowed to complete the remaining courses, and no refunds will be given.
