    Black Prince Cancellation Protection Scheme

This page is very important. Do please read it.


When completing your Black Prince holiday booking, you will naturally be looking forward to a relaxing and carefree break. Unhappily, unforeseen circumstances can sometimes intervene and so we assume you will wish to join the Black Prince CANCELLATION PROTECTION SCHEME.


Once you have paid a deposit and it has been confirmed by Black Prince a contract exists which renders you liable for the whole of the hire charge even if you are prevented from taking your holiday. Black Prince has arranged this Protection Scheme which in return for a small premium gives you the right under the qualifying circumstances detailed below to cancel your holiday at any time before you are due to start. In this event you will be absolved of all liability under the conditions of hire for any balance of charges due, and if part or all of such charges have already been paid, they will be refunded.


Qualifying Circumstances

1. Death, injury, illness or pregnancy (certified in all cases by a qualified medical practitioner), jury service or witness call of any member of the party listed on the booking form at the time of booking.

2. Death, injury or illness (certified in all cases by a qualified medical practitioner) of the spouse, parent, step-parent, brother, sister, children, step-children, parent-in-law or fiance
of the hirer or any member of the party.

3. Redundancy of the hirer, providing that the hirer qualifies for payment under the Redundancy Payment Act 1965.

Note: This scheme only covers full cancellation. It does not cover a partial refund. If you choose NOT to join this protection scheme and you subsequently have to cancel your holiday, YOU WILL BE LIABLE TO PAY THE WHOLE OF THE HIRE FEE unless we can re-let the boat in which case we will levy a 15% of re-letting charge.
