SECTION 19 – CONTACT INFORMATION
Questions about the Terms of Service should be sent to us at info@cloudbaseparagliding.com.au
SECTION 20 – GIFT VOUCHERS
Our gift vouchers (including tandem flight experience gift vouchers) are valid for 36 months from the date of purchase. Once the gift voucher has reached the end of its validity period, and so passed its expiry date, it will have therefore expired and no longer be valid.
We do not give refunds for gift vouchers.
Our gift vouchers are non-transferable and not for resale. Unless expressly approved in writing, we do not allow our gift vouchers to be transferred into another person’s name or sold to someone else.
Our gift vouchers do not have a cash value. This means that they cannot be redeemed for cash.
In the rare event that we agree to providing a refund, a $75 cancellation and administration fee applies per voucher.
SECTION 21 – INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING RESTRICTIONS
We aim to make as much of our product range available to all of our customers as possible. However, in some instances, it may not be possible to ship some items internationally due to courier and import restrictions. Our team will be in contact should there be an item that we can’t ship to your location. Should you have any questions please take a look at our shipping policy.
SECTION 22 – PARAGLIDING LESSONS, COURSES, TANDEM FLIGHTS & TUITION CREDIT
VALIDITY PERIOD
Excluding breaches of the cancellations policy, all of our paragliding lessons, paragliding courses, and subsequent paragliding tuition credit is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. This means that the paragliding lesson, paragliding course, or paragliding tuition credit must be completed within 12 months from the date of purchase after which they will expire and therefore no longer be valid. Once the paragliding lesson, paragliding course, or paragliding tuition credit you have purchased from us has reached the end of its validity period, and so passed its expiry date, it will have therefore expired and no longer be valid. This means that once the expiry date has been reached you will no longer be entitled to book into our diary for zero cost. In the event that you are unable to complete your desired training outcome due to inclement weather, we welcome you back on any course within a 12 month period of the start of your original course on any advertised, scheduled courses that we hold active vacancies for. Training at any location outside of the above referenced advertised, scheduled course dates with active vacancies (e.g. NSW Central Coast or in Port Macquarie) where you are provided with bespoke, individualised tuition will incur a training cost of $200.00 per day.
If you have a CLOUDBASE PARAGLIDING Paragliding gift voucher for a paragliding lesson, paragliding course, paragliding tuition credit, or tandem paraglider flight with us then the paragliding lesson, paragliding course, paragliding tuition credit, or tandem paraglider flight which the voucher entitles you to must be completed before the expiry date of the voucher after which they will expire and therefore no longer be valid. In other words, you have until the expiry date of the voucher to complete the paragliding lesson, paragliding course, paragliding tuition credit, or tandem paraglider flight the voucher entitles you to after which you will no longer be entitled to book into our diary anymore.
The validity period for all of our paragliding lessons, paragliding courses, paragliding tuition credit, tandem paraglider flights, and gift vouchers takes into account availability in our diary and applies to all instances, regardless of any reasons given or circumstances, including outside influences such as the weather.
As paragliding is a totally weather-dependent activity, we recommend that you should book in as soon as possible, subject to availability in our diary, as it is not unusual to have days cancelled due to unsuitable weather conditions.
NO REFUNDS POLICY
We do not give refunds under any circumstances for any paragliding lessons, paragliding courses, paragliding tuition credit, tandem paraglider flights or gift vouchers.
NON-TRANSFERABLE & NOT FOR RESALE
All of our paragliding lessons, paragliding courses, paragliding tuition credit, tandem paraglider flights, and gift vouchers are non-transferable and not for resale. We do not allow our paragliding lessons, paragliding courses, paragliding tuition credit, tandem paraglider flights, or gift vouchers to be transferred into another person’s name or sold to someone else.
NO CASH VALUE
Our paragliding lessons, paragliding courses, paragliding tuition credit, tandem paraglider flights, and gift vouchers do not have a cash value. This means that they cannot be redeemed for cash.
BOOKINGS & CANCELLATIONS POLICY – COURSES IN AUSTRALIA
Cloudabse is unique in that we offer small group training. Understandably, late notice cancellations impact our business greatly. Similarly, we require a minimum of 7 days’ notice for any bookings cancellations. These 7 days will be taken from 09:00 AM on the day you are booked into our diary (for example if you were booked in on a Sunday you would need to cancel your booking before 09:00 AM the Sunday prior). Any bookings cancellations made with less than 7 days notice, taken from 09:00 AM on the day you are booked into our diary, will result in a full loss of credit for that course, regardless of the reason given. Therefore, to avoid being deducted any training credit you must ensure that you give a minimum of 7 days’ notice for any bookings cancellations, taken from 09:00 AM on the day you are booked into our diary.
We are extremely reasonable and lenient with regard to accommodating returning/incomplete students. Students that are unable to complete training due to constraints, or events outside of Cloudbase Paragliding’s control (e.g. weather), are welcomed back to complete the remaining portion of incomplete days of training at zero cost, on one occasion only. Please understand that we welcome you back at the loss of a prospective full course fee-paying customer. In the event that you are returning to complete training with us due to an incomplete phase of training, and you subsequently provide cancellation advice within 7 days of the respective course commencement due to reasons of your own, outside of Cloudbase Paragliding’s control, you forfeit your ability to resume this training at zero cost. Therefore, any subsequent additional days of training required for you to transition to completion of your rating will be at a rate of $250.00 per day, per person.
SECTION 23 – INTERNATIONAL TOURS
CANCELLATIONS POLICY – BALI TOURS
Please consider that an extremely large amount of time and effort is spent in coordinating our Bali tours.
Although every effort is made, Cloudbase shall not be liable for any illness, injury, damages, loss, delay, or failure to join the tour that may occur due to factors beyond our control. We highly recommend all participants have travel/cancellation insurance coverage. Cloudbase retains the right to alter itineraries, sites, days of operation or even cancel tours if unforeseen circumstances occur.

50% cancellation fee of provided tour and hotel invoices <=30 days before arrival/tour commencement (whichever precedes)

100% cancellation fee of the $150 Tour Reservation Payment if notified <=70 days before arrival/tour commencement (whichever precedes)
At our discretion, we may cancel a tour at any time prior to departure if, due to terrorism, pandemic, natural disasters, political instability, or other external events demonstrate that it is not safe for us to facilitate the tour as planned.
We are not responsible for any incidental expenses that you may have incurred as a result of your booking, including but not limited to, travel insurance excess or non-refundable flights.
You are strongly advised to take out travel/cancellation insurance at the time of booking which will cover cancellation fees. If the reason for cancellation falls within the terms of any holiday insurance policy which you have in place, then any such charges may, subject to the terms of your insurance policy, be refunded to you by the insurance company.
FORCE MAJEURE CONSIDERATION
Cloudbase will not be liable for any breach of contract due to any matter or thing beyond our control – including but not limited to (a) riot, war, invasion, the act of foreign enemies, hostilities (whether war be declared or not), acts of terrorism, civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection of military or usurped power, requisition or compulsory acquisition by any governmental or competent authority
(b) ionizing radiation or contamination, radioactivity from any nuclear fuel or nuclear waste from the combustion of nuclear fuel, radioactive toxic explosive or other hazardous properties of any explosive assembly or nuclear component
(c) pressure waves caused by aircraft or other aerial devices traveling at sonic or supersonic speeds (d) earthquakes, flood, fire, or another physical natural disaster, but excluding weather conditions regardless of the severity
(e) strikes or industrial disputes at a national level, or strikes or industrial disputes by labor not employed by the affected party, its subContractors or its suppliers, and which affect an essential portion of the works, but excluding any industrial dispute which is specific to the performance of the works or this contract.
As Bali has experienced volcanic eruptions in the past, please ensure that you have this component covered within your travel policy to avoid any interruption costs associated with not being able to fly in or out of Denpasar.
