Outdoor activities carry inherent risks, including the risk of personal injury or property damage.

Acclimbatize takes all reasonable steps to minimise risk, but it cannot eliminate it entirely.

All activities are led by qualified instructors who operate within recognised safety frameworks and risk assessments.

7. Equipment and Clothing

Acclimbatize provides all necessary technical and safety equipment unless otherwise specified.

Participants are responsible for bringing suitable personal clothing, footwear, and waterproofs appropriate to the activity and season.

Any loss or damage to Acclimbatize equipment caused by negligence may be charged to the Client.

Acclimbatize holds appropriate Public Liability Insurance and Employers’ Liability Insurance.

We recommend that all participants (or organising bodies) obtain their own personal accident and cancellation insurance.

From time to time, we may take photographs or video footage during activities for promotional use.

Please inform us in writing before the event if you do not wish to be included in any media.

10. Data Protection

Personal data collected for bookings or participation is processed in accordance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for full details of how your data is used and protected.

11. Liability

Acclimbatize Ltd shall not be liable for any loss, damage, injury, or expense arising from participation in our activities, except where such loss is due to our proven negligence.
This includes mobile phones, jewellery, cameras or vehicles which may be parked.

Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

12. Force Majeure

We shall not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations due to events outside our reasonable control (including but not limited to extreme weather, natural disasters, pandemics, strikes, or transport disruptions).

13. Complaints

We take all feedback seriously. Any concerns should be raised with your instructor or course leader as soon as possible, so we have the opportunity to resolve any issue arising on the day or during any residential course.

Formal complaints can be made in writing to the Acclimbatize office within 14 days of the event.
Complaining on social media without identifying any specific concerns to staff during the event is not acceptable to us and will not lead to timely resolutions.
