However nothing in this agreement is meant to exclude liability for death or personal injury due to negligence on the part of RTWSCo
• All group discounts that are offered are done so only on the basis that those who are making up the fishing group participants are fishing on the same fishing day. In other words 1 person will pay the 1 person rate if they book multiple fishing days and will not qualify for the group discount rates.
• If a booking can be re-let, refunds less an administration fee will be made. It is often possible to re-let sport at short notice at a reduced rate, in such cases the shortfall will be deducted and the balance returned.
• We recommend that clients insure against cancellation since if the sport is not re-let all payments will be forfeited.
• All instructions and decisions given by Crew Members will be final and must be followed. Failure to comply with such instructions or decisions may result in the cancellation of the rest of the tenancy. In the event of cancellation under the terms of this clause, there will be no right to a refund or compensation.
• Where appropriate all fishermen will be required to comply with instructions to clean tackle (waders) which has been used on a fishery where there is a risk of contamination by the Gyrodactylus Salaris parasite and sign the declaration supplied by RTWSCo
RTWSCo reserves the right to cancel your booking in which case we will offer an alternative booking of equivalent standard or a full refund.
