• A part cancellation is a change of structure type(s), a change of structure size or a removal of a structure(s), that results in a reduced Rental Cost to what was originally agreed at the time of paying the Booking Deposit and the booking being confirmed. If the hirer wishes to make a change to their structure(s), which results in a lower Rental Cost than the structure(s) that were originally booked, Yorkshire Yurts reserves the right to charge a part cancellation fee. Please contact Yorkshire Yurts if you are looking to make a part cancellation, and you will be advised of the fee at that time.

8. Adverse Weather

•  We endeavor to ensure all of our structures are as watertight as possible and they are all built to highest standards here in the UK. All of our structures are made from natural canvas and so in very rare cases condensation may occur in the colder months. As with all temporary structures, we cannot guarantee them to be 100% watertight in extreme weather conditions.
• Yorkshire Yurts will advise the client on the safety aspects of adverse weather conditions before the Rental Period commences. It is the Hirer’s responsibility to adhere to the guidelines given and Yorkshire Yurts has no responsibility for any negligent act by the client.
• In the unlikely event of extreme weather conditions, Yorkshire Yurts reserves the right to cancel any contract where it considers the weather conditions might pose a risk to health and safety and/or property.

9. Force Majeure

•  Although Yorkshire Yurts will use its best endeavors to fulfill every contract, performance of the contract is subject to variation or cancellation by Yorkshire Yurts for any reason beyond its control (including, but not limited to, trade disputes, fire, breakdown, act of god, extreme weather or lack of equipment through non-return by other hirers).
• Yorkshire Yurts shall not be held liable for any costs incurred by the cancellation in such circumstances and so event/wedding insurance in highly recommended. Yorkshire Yurts will notify the Hirer as soon as practicable and will provide information to the Hirer’s insurance company if requested. Yorkshire Yurts’ liability shall be limited to a refund of the Damage Deposit.

10. Privacy

•  The Hirer’s contact and personal details may be kept by us for future mailings and news. If you do not wish to receive these, please do let us know. The booking process asks for your contact details, details of your Event and other relevant information required by us to fulfil your booking. Please note that your financial details are NEVER stored and all of our financial transactions are handled by Worldpay’s secure server. We will not pass on or sell your details to any third parties.
• Please refer to the Privacy Policy on our website for additional information.

11. Customer Complaints

•  We hope you are entirely satisfied with your equipment and that your Event is as enjoyable as possible for all guests. If there is anything we can do to assist prior to or during your Rental Period, please let us know as soon as possible. We welcome feedback on your experience of renting equipment from us and in the unlikely event of any complaints, we seek to address these as soon as possible.
• Please note complaints received after the end of your Rental Period cannot be reliably investigated and are therefore most difficult to resolve. To that end, in the first instance of any complaint or any issues, please speak with a member of our team in person or telephone Yorkshire Yurts to bring them to our attention so we can help to resolve matters as quickly as possible and lessen any potential adverse impact during your Rental Period.
