oUR TERMS OF TRADE-
When you are buying a ticket, and coming on a tour, you are agreeing with these TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Please read THEM carefully!
PLEASE Note they are not in 4 point print - this is because we WANT you to know how we operate.
- ALL OF OUR TOURS ARE HISTORIC GHOST TOURS. WE HAVE TO EXPLAIN THE CONTEXT OF THE TIME THAT PEOPLE LIVED, SO THAT THE STORY OF WHAT HAPPENED, AFTER THEY DIED, MAKES SENSE. IF YOU DON'T LIKE HISTORY - DO NOT COME ON OUR TOURS.
- WE HAVE A GUARD DOG ACCOMPANY US ON TOURS, ON A LEAD WHEN ON THE STREET, AND OFF LEASH WHEN WE ARE INSIDE CEMETERIES, WHO COMES TO KEEP THE GUIDE AND GROUP SAFE. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE DOGS, ARE ALLERGIC TO THEM, OR DISLIKE ANIMALS IN GENERAL - DO NOT COME ON OUR TOURS.
- You agree that are solely responsible for your own safety at ALL times. You further undertake that in the light of this understanding, in case of any mishap, that SydneyGhostTour.Com, and the owners of any property that you may transit during our tours, will not be held liable for any personal injury or property damage arising from your participation in any activity related to us.
- If you bring children or teenagers on the tour, the above applies to them too - with the proviso that they must be supervised by a responsible adult tour participant at all times. This designated adult assumes total responsibility for seeing to it they participate in an orderly, civil and polite manner, keeping them safe, and for their actions.
- Anyone who chooses to be disruptive, unsafe or generally unpleasant will be asked to leave - and their ticket price is forfeit - that is, there will be no refunds given to anyone choosing to behave in an unpleasant or irresponsible manner on a tour.
- We do not refund ticket purchases simply on the basis of an opinion that we were not scary enough for a particular person's taste. A person's fear threshold is an entirely personal thing much like a sense of humour. We simply endeavour to deliver the best tour that we can, and you are completely responsible for your own emotional state and reactions to that. With that being said, we are open to constructive feedback.
- We run ghost tours for the purposes of entertainment and education. If it is raining , not only will it be unpleasant - it becomes dangerous in some of the places we go on our tours. If in doubt - ring 02 8197 0363. In the case of bad weather being deemed unpleasant and potentially dangerous, you will be receiving a gift certificate for twice what you have paid for, to come on a later tour for up to 3 years from the issue of the certificate.
- In the case of weather or unforeseen circumstances resulting in the cancellation of a tour, if you have tickets for a specific occasion tour, you will be issued with a gift certificate worth double the original ticket. That is, if you have two tickets, you will be issued with a gift certificate for four people - and so on. That gift certificate will be valid for 3 years from the date of issue.
- If you have a gift certificate, and have elected to come on a specific tour, and that tour is cancelled for whatever reason, a new gift certificate will be issued valid from that date, with an expiry date three (3) years hence, for twice the number of people paid for on the original certificate.
- We will do everything within our power to give you as much advance notice as possible, if we have to re-schedule a tour. We don't re-schedule tours unless bad weather makes running the tour dangerous, or urgent and unforeseen circumstances, such as family emergencies, illness or other such problems crop up. We simply ask for your understanding if, or when life challenges happen. Under these circumstances, we will deliver more than you have paid for, at a later time.
- We run our tours based on prior demand, as established by advance bookings. We allocate people to tours manually. This means you MUST book in advance by A) calling and confirming your personal details on 02 8197 0363 and speaking with a SydneyGhosttour.Com member of staff directly, and our confirming that booking in writing to your email or by physical post or B) If purchasing tickets online, by submitting your details and advising of the specific tour in which you wish to participate, more than 72 hours in advance, through the "Crypt Insiders" form on the home page, or on our order forms during checkout in buying your tickets.
- We will then confirm that you have a place on a given tour based on prior bookings. Refunds will not be provided for online purchases where this prior notification and confirmation process has not happened. We can't run tours for you unless you let us know you are coming, and can confirm your time and place in a group of limited size - pure and simple.
- SYDNEY GHOST TOURS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DECIDE WHOM IS ENTITLED TO COME ON A GIVEN TOUR, AND WHEN.
- If you are perceived in any way to be intoxicated by alcohol or drugs of any kind, we reserve the right to cancel your ticket and ask you to leave without the refund of the ticket. By putting yourself and others at risk due to your impaired judgement, you forfeit both the cost of the ticket and your right to participate in a tour.
- You agree to promptly follow the requests of SydneyGhostTour.Com staff at all times during the running of the tour - they will be in the interests of your entertainment and safety.
- Cancellation of standard tickets within 5 business days of an individual or group booking will not be refunded - it just isn't enough notice for us to find replacement customers for that tour. If it is a discounted ticket, or a group rate booking, no refunds will be entertained at all. If you really cannot make it you MUST give us more than a week's notice. If a genuine last minute emergency occurs (a 22nd re-arrangement of your sock drawer, or your pet budgerigar having an existential crisis does not qualify) you notify us in writing or by telephone AT LEAST 3 HOURS before the tour, we will consider allowing you to attend a later tour at our discretion. If you are fair dinkum and considerate of us, we will endeavor to do the same in return.
