Terms & Conditions

Payments

A deposit of 25% of total cost is required upon confirmation.  The balance is required based on full occupancy of the aircraft, 8 weeks prior to departure.  Repayment for reduced numbers as well as any additional on-site extras will be settled after the event.

Cancellations by the client

If the event is cancelled by the client, the following conditions will apply:-

  • Cancellation prior to 90 days before departure - Loss of deposit.
  • Cancellation between 90 - 30 days before departure - 50% of total projected cost of the event if it had taken place.
  • Cancellation less than 30 days before departure  - 100% of total projected cost of the event if it had taken place.
  • If the event is cancelled completely, at any time, all deposits paid or overdue for payment will be forfeited.

Cancellations due to adverse weather

It is possible that the event will have to be postponed due to adverse weather conditions.  Such a decision will be made by the aircraft operator up to 10:00am on the day of travel.  After 10:00am on the day of travel the client has the option to wait and continue with the programme, or to cancel and reschedule to another day.  If the decision is to cancel the event, the client will be asked to choose another date, departing within 4 weeks - there will be no charges passed on to the client.  No compensation will be paid for missed aspects of the day, if departure is delayed.

Change of departure date

If a client wishes to change the date of the event once the booking is confirmed the following charges will apply: -

  • Once the booking has been confirmed: £500 charge
  • Between 28 to 14 days prior to departure: 50% of the total event cost
  • Less than 14 days: 100% of the total event cost

Air traffic control

Vantage Point cannot accept any liability for delays caused by air traffic control.  The programme for the day will be adjusted to accommodate the changes.

Variation of numbers

Final numbers must be confirmed 10 working days prior to arrival.  Final reconciliation will be on this basis.   There are no minimum numbers required.

Late return to UK

Arrangements will be made to ensure that you return to your home base airport by the scheduled time.  If you choose to delay your return then there may be an additional charge to keep the home base airport open late. For example Farnborough Airport closes at 2000 hrs and Biggin Hill at 2100 hrs.

Exchange Rates

If costs increase due to exchange rate fluctuations, which are beyond the control of Vantage Point, then Vantage Point shall be entitled to vary the costs quoted.

On Site Extra's

If additional services, food or drinks are required on location over and above the inclusions in our arrangements, then these can either be paid directly on site by yourselves, or, invoiced after the event with a 15% charge.

Site Inspection Costs

If you would like us to arrange a site inspection, staff costs are charged at £250 per or part day, plus any additional expenses such as UK travel costs, flights, meals, costs incurred in the destination etc.
