6. Refund Policy
You can elect to take out travel insurance to cover for cancellation due to weather, Covid and/or other unforeseen circumstances. The choice of a travel insurance company is yours to make. If you do not elect for this additional cover, FTS has a no-refund policy.
7. Legal Obligations
You are solely responsible for complying with all laws, regulations, orders, demands, and requirements of the chosen destination. We shall not be liable in any way whatsoever to you in connection with obtaining necessary documents or complying with such laws, regulations, orders, demands, requirements or instructions, whether given orally or in writing or otherwise, or for the consequences to you resulting from your failure to obtain such documents or to comply with such laws, regulations, orders, demands, requirements or instructions.

Please note also that you may not remove any items or antiquities from land, beach, or the seabed.

10. Yacht Specification
FTS may alter the specification of the yacht if it deems that in its absolute discretion, necessary to either ensure that you gain the maximum benefit from your sailing or to ensure the safety of yourself, other crew members and other water users.
11. Force Majeure
If weather conditions are the reason for postponement then an alternative date(s)/location(s) will be offered, where possible. An alternative date must be accepted within three months from the original date. We do not provide a refund where the weather is the reason for the postponement. Any reasonable increase in cost due to seasonal variations or change in sailing selection will be met by you.
We will always make best efforts to provide courses as published. However, in the event of other force majeure including an act of God, strikes, lockout, an act of Government or any other occurrence beyond our control, FTS will not be liable if prevented from fulfilling its obligations. We recommend travel insurance to mitigate this risk.
We will always endeavour to provide a service of equal quality.
12. Conduct aboard school vessels
If in our reasonable opinion you conduct yourself aboard one of our vessels so as to endanger the vessel or any person or property on board, or behave in a disorderly manner or in a manner to which other clients may reasonably object, we may take such measures as we deem necessary to prevent continuation of such conduct including your removal from the vessel. You may be prosecuted for offenses committed on board a vessel. Furthermore, you agree to abide by the orders of the Skipper/Instructor in command of the school vessel at all times.
You must accept responsibility for the proper conduct of yourself and any members of your party. We reserve the right in our absolute discretion to terminate, without further notice, the sailing arrangements of any client who refuses to comply with the instructions or orders of the skipper or other staff employed by FTS or whose behaviour or competence in their opinion is likely to cause distress, danger or annoyance to their crew, other clients, staff of any third party or property. Upon such termination, our responsibility for your sailing ceases and FTS shall not be liable for any extra costs incurred by you.
13. Photography
FTS instructors and our staff will sometimes take photographs for use in publicity material. If you have any objection to your image being used for this purpose, please inform your FTS instructor or staff when photography takes place.
14. Passing or failing courses
An Instructor and/or Examiner will assess your skill level during the course and with some courses, there will also be a written exam. At the end of the course, your Instructor / Examiner will decide if you have passed or failed. Their decision is final. If, however, you disagree with their decision you may make an application to the school for redress.
15. Complaints
We sincerely hope you will not have a cause for complaint. Should you have a complaint about any aspect of our course or service, please make it known to your Instructor at the time. Any complaint will be taken very seriously. If you are still dissatisfied please let us know in writing via email. We take the quality of our service seriously and will do what we can to remedy the situation.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have travel insurance, which will cover any luggage, medical expenses and repatriation if necessary, and that this insurance covers you while sailing.
17. Disclaimer
