Due to the popularity of these clinics,
full payment must be received to book your

There will be no refund for cancellations.
Courses
will run regardless of weather unless the guide
deems conditions unsafe then a back-up option

be executed. This is to be decided by the guide
the evening before.
*Cancellation Policy*: If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons.
