Booking, Cancellation and Deposit Policy

About this document

What it’s for

Client-facing terms explaining how bookings, deposits, cancellations, late arrivals, no-shows, courses, memberships and gift vouchers work. It is written to be fair and transparent so that your charges are enforceable under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and do not breach the unfair commercial practices rules in the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.

When to use it

  • On your website and booking system, with a tick box to accept at booking
  • On display at reception and linked in booking confirmations
  • When you introduce or change deposits or cancellation charges
