● Cuts, punctures, or amputations from sharp tools (axes, knives, saws). ● Burns from open campfires, boiling liquids, or hot embers. 

● Exposure to unpredictable weather, extreme heat, cold, or heavy rain. ● Terrain hazards such as falling branches, uneven ground, trips, slips, and falls. 

● Bites, stings, or allergic reactions from plants, insects, or wildlife.

You voluntarily assume full responsibility for any risk of personal injury, illness, or property damage arising out of or related to participation in a Field and Fire Bushcraft event, unless negligence is proven. 

C. Limitation of Liability 

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Field and Fire Bushcraft, its instructors, and its land partners shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages or injuries. The total financial liability to any client shall under no circumstances exceed the total amount paid by the client for the specific course booked. 

D. Medical Fitness 

Participants must be physically fit to participate in outdoor wilderness activities and disclose any medical conditions (such as severe allergies, asthma, or cardiac issues) that could put themselves or others at risk. It is the responsibility of the participant to bring any necessary personal medication (e.g., EpiPens, inhalers).

Session Cancellation & Refund Policy

Field and Fire Bushcraft is committed to providing clear, fair, and transparent guidance on cancellations and refunds. This policy outlines how cancellations are handled to ensure consistency and fairness for all participants.

Scope

This policy applies to all Field and Fire Bushcraft sessions, courses, programmes, and events.

Participant Cancellations & Refunds

  • More than 14 Days Notice: If you cancel your booking more than 14 days before the course start date, you will receive a full refund minus a 10% administration fee, or you can transfer your booking to another date for free.

  • 7 to 14 Days Notice: If you cancel between 7 and 14 days before the course, you will be offered a 100% credit voucher to reschedule for a future date. No cash refunds will be issued.

  • Less than 7 Days Notice (Late Cancellations): Cancellations made less than 7 days before the course start date are strictly non-refundable and non-transferable, as materials and staffing will have already been secured for your slot.

Non-Attendance (No-Shows)

If a participant does not attend a session without prior written notice, their booking and fee are completely forfeit. No refunds, credits, or date transfers will be issued.

Cancellations by Field and Fire Bushcraft

If Field and Fire Bushcraft must cancel a session due to staff illness or operational issues, participants will be contacted immediately and offered:

  1. A full 100% refund, or

  2. A direct transfer to an alternative rescheduled date.

Weather-Related Cancellations

  • Standard Outdoor Weather: Field and Fire Bushcraft courses operate in all typical UK weather conditions, including rain, cold, and normal wind. Please dress appropriately using our recommended Kit List. Cancellations will not be accepted due to standard wet or cold weather.

  • Severe Weather: Sessions will only be cancelled or adjusted if the Met Office issues a severe weather warning (e.g., high winds exceeding 40mph, lightning, or extreme heat) that poses a genuine safety risk in the woods.

  • If we cancel due to severe weather, safety is our priority, and you will be offered a free date transfer or a full credit voucher.

Exceptional Circumstances

Field and Fire Bushcraft may consider emergency exceptions (such as medical hospitalisation) on a strict case-by-case basis. Proof may be requested.

Communication Methods

All official cancellations, changes, and weather updates will be communicated directly to the email address or mobile phone number provided during your booking.

Review & Compliance

This policy is reviewed annually to ensure it remains fair, clear, and fully aligned with Field and Fire Bushcraft’s commitment to high-quality outdoor instruction.
