You are required to be in possession of current third party liability insurance for shooting or membership of the British Association of Shooting and Conservation, Scottish Gamekeepers Association or the National Gamekeepers Organisation. You will be asked to provide proof when out with Stalking School or Country Services.

You are in possession of a current firearms certificate issued by the appropriate police authority for the firearms that you bring and use.

If you are a foreign National then you will be required to be in possession of and  produce your UK Visitors Firearms Certificate and if an EU National your European Firearms Pass.

You will be required to purchase any carcasses which are damaged by poor shot placement or requirements of a follow up shot resulting in unacceptable damage to the carcass. This will be your responsibility even if your guide, leader or instructor has to take a follow up shot following your injuring or wounding an animal. You will be charged at current commercial rates.

A shot will be considered taken and you will be charged for it if you miss, wound or lose a beast as a result of your shot.

If you are using the Estate Rifle facility you must conform to all current legal requirements. All requests or instructions from Stalking School or Country Services staff regarding the use of the rifle must be complied with. Any disregard for these instructions will result in you being asked to leave the property and there will be no refund of any fees paid.

If you are using your own rifle and ammunition then it is your responsibility to ensure that the firearm is safe, in good condition, in proof and suitable for the activity engaged in. All ammunition must conform to current regulations for muzzle energy, velocity, calibre and bullet weight and Stalking School or Country Services accept no liability or responsibility for your rifle or ammunition.

Any equipment lent, hired or given to you for the duration of the activity is your responsibility until returned to staff of Stalking School or Country Services. Any damage beyond reasonable wear and tear will be charged. It is the decision of Stalking School or Country Services whether the equipment is repaired or replaced depending on the equipment type and age of the equipment.

There will be no refund due to client cancelling because of inclement weather conditions. Stalking School or Country Services staff will attend regardless of the weather and clients should be suitably dressed for conditions likely to be met. If Stalking School or Country Services should deem it unsafe to attend due to weather conditions an alternative date will be offered or a full refund if the client prefers.

A deposit is payable immediately for any booked activities. The deposit will be at least 25% of the full fee excluding extras. Cancellations will be refunded in full up to 4 weeks before the booked activity, 75% up to 21 days before, 50% up to 14 days before, 25% up to 7 days before the activity is due to take place. All refunds less a £25 administration fee. These will be reduced at the discretion of Stalking School or Country Services if the activity can be resold.

Where cull beasts are included in a package price there will be no refund as a result of no shot being taken.

In consideration of being allowed to participate in any outing, activity, hunting or educational course you personally assume all risks in connection with the said outing, activity, hunting or educational course for any harm, injury or damage that may befall you or your possessions during theses activities including all risks whether foreseen or unforeseen.

You understand that some activity may be physically strenuous and you will be exerting yourself during these activities and that if you are injured as a result of heart attack, muscle strain or any other physical exertion that you expressly assume the risk of said injuries and that you will not hold Stalking School or Country Services or the individuals guiding, leading or tutoring you responsible for the same.

You will be responsible for any third party claims against you or the Stalking School or Country Services as a result of your actions whilst participating in any activity with the Stalking School or Country Services. (You must carry third party liability insurance as you will be required to indemnify Stalking School or Country Services against any loss as a result of your actions see condition 1)

You further confirm that you are of lawful age and legally competent to agree these terms and conditions.

You understand the terms and conditions herein are contractual and not a mere recital and that you accept theses terms and conditions of your own free will.

By accepting these terms and conditions you exempt and release your guides, leaders and instructors and Stalking School or Country Services and all related entities from all liability or responsibility whatsoever for personal injury, property damage or wrongful death which results from my own conduct or any matter or condition under your control.  

If any part of these Terms is unenforceable (including any provision in which we exclude Our liability to you) the enforceability of any other part of these Terms will not be affected.

This contract shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with Scottish law and both parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Scottish Courts.
