These Booking Policies are designed to provide clarity and ensure every experience begins with mutual understanding and respect. If you have any questions before booking, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

The location will be confirmed before your booking.
Travel
Travel within Chad's local service area is included.
If your booking is outside this area, an additional travel fee may apply. Any additional travel costs will always be discussed and agreed upon before your booking is confirmed.
Rescheduling
If you need to reschedule your booking, we kindly ask that you provide at least 48 hours' notice where possible.
We will do our best to find another suitable time for your experience.
Cancellations
If you choose to cancel your booking with less than 48 hours' notice, your booking deposit may be retained.
This policy does not limit any rights you may have under Australian Consumer Law.
If We Need to Cancel
If Chad is unable to deliver your experience due to illness, unforeseen circumstances or unsafe conditions, we will first offer to reschedule your booking.
If another suitable time cannot be agreed upon, a full refund will be provided.
Weather
For outdoor experiences, weather conditions may occasionally require changes.
Where possible, we will:
-
Move to another suitable location; or
-
Reschedule your experience.
If neither option is suitable, a refund will be available upon request.
Arrival
Please arrive on time so you can enjoy the full experience.
If you arrive late, we will do our best to accommodate you. Where the day's schedule allows, Chad may extend your session; however, this cannot always be guaranteed due to other bookings.
Children
Children are welcome to attend appropriate experiences.
A minimum recommended age of 6 months applies.
Parents and guardians remain responsible for supervising children throughout the experience.
Respectful Participation
Chad is committed to creating a safe, respectful and welcoming environment for everyone.
We ask all participants to treat others with kindness and respect.
Chad reserves the right to end an experience where behaviour is abusive, threatening, aggressive, intoxicated or creates an unsafe environment.
Respect and Inclusion
Chad welcomes people of all backgrounds, beliefs and levels of experience.
Experiences are offered in a respectful, inclusive and non-judgemental environment where everyone is encouraged to participate in a way that feels comfortable for them.
