REFUND POLICY

Where the failure to provide a trip that complies with the description is not the fault of SCT, or of its agents or suppliers, or if the failure is caused by or contributed to by the client, then SCT disclaims all liability and will offer no refunds.
SCT or its suppliers will not provide refunds for any loss or limitation caused by bad weather or surfing conditions, or other force majeure conditions.

YOUR OBLIGATIONS TO SURF CAMP TAGHAZOUT & ITS SUPPLIERS
SCT is an adventure travel brand and SCT ’s products contain an inherent element of risk that present certain dangers, risks and physical challenges greater than those present in our everyday lives.

You must settle any remaining balance immediately at the time of check-in, either cash (in Euros or equivalent in MAD, USD, GBP, CAD or CHF) or by Credit/debit/bank card, which are subject to a 5% transaction fee.
You are strongly encouraged to purchase comprehensive travel insurance that specifically covers surfing and other non-motorized extreme sports, in addition to insurance that covers cancellation, medical and repatriation expenses, personal injury and accident, death, and loss of personal baggage and money, as well as personal liability insurance.
You must remind SCT or its local partner of any special requirements at the time of check-in.
It is your responsibility to be on time and not to miss transportation (such as airplanes, trains or buses, whether or not they are provided by SCT or its partners) to product event sites. SCT & its suppliers accepts no liability if the client cannot enjoy the full SCT product because the client was late and missed his or her transportation.

OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES AND EXCURSIONS
While using a SCT product, you may have the chance to engage in optional activities and excursions. SCT does not own, operate or control any of the companies or individuals that provide optional activities or excursions that are offered to customers during the trip.
Any activity not specifically identified as included in the purchase price is an optional activity or excursion. These activities may be inherently risky. If you choose to book these optional activities, you must be fit enough to engage in them. Booking an optional activity will be subject to the operator’s terms and conditions and under local law. These activities are conducted under the standards of health and safety of the countries where the activities take place, but these standards may not be equivalent to EU or US standards. This is an inherent risk of travel, and you acknowledge this fact. SCT or its local partner accepts no liability for any act or omission of any of these operators, and any claim you may have in relation to these optional activities and excursions will be against the local operation, and not SCT or its local partner
CONTRAVENTION OF LAW
SCT accepts no liability for any loss or damage sustained by client as a result of the contravention of law of the country or countries where the loss or damage took place.
LOST ITEMS
SCT or its local partner will not be held responsible for any theft or loss of personal possessions from our premises or vehicles. While SCT & its local partner will strive to ensure the security of guests’ personal possessions, SCT & its local partner cannot guarantee it.
COMPLAINTS
A client must raise any complaint immediately with a SCT employee via email or phone or directly to the local partner employee so that SCT may have the opportunity to investigate and rectify the problem. We cannot rectify a problem if we are unaware. Clients must inform SCT of any complaints immediately, and in any event before the client leaves. A customer has 30 days to complain after the SCT product has concluded. SCT accepts no liability for complaints made after this time-frame, and SCT is not prepared to compensate clients for these tardy complaints.
DISPUTES, LAW AND JURISDICTION
Any disputes arising from this contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Kingdom and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the country's courts. You and SCT will attempt to settle all disputes through negotiation before bringing any matter to court.
