Terms and Conditions for Aircam Drone Services
Section 1: Voucher Validity and Extensions
Voucher Validity
All vouchers issued by Aircam Drone Services are valid for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase unless otherwise specified. We encourage voucher holders to book their preferred date for the experience well in advance to ensure availability and to avoid any disappointment. It is important to note that the experiences offered are subject to scheduling and weather conditions, which may affect availability. We recommend not making any travel or accommodation arrangements until your booking has been confirmed by us.
Voucher Extensions
We understand that circumstances can change, and you may require more time to book your experience. Therefore, Aircam Drone Services offers a straightforward and convenient voucher extension service. Voucher holders may request an extension of their voucher’s validity period, provided that the request is made before the original expiry date. To extend a voucher, please contact us and we will assist you with the process. An administration fee of £25 will be charged for extending a voucher's validity. If the price of the experience has increased since the voucher was purchased, the voucher holder will also be required to pay the difference in price. Please be aware that once extended, vouchers cannot be refunded.
Section 2: Booking and Cancellations

We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly during peak seasons, to ensure the best availability.
Booking confirmations, including date, time, and any necessary preparation instructions, will be provided to you in writing. Please avoid making irreversible travel or accommodation arrangements until your booking has been confirmed by our team.

Cancellations made with less than 14 days' notice will not be eligible for a refund. However, we may, at our discretion and subject to availability, offer you the option to reschedule your experience.
Cancellations due to Weather
Given the weather-dependent nature of drone flying, Aircam Drone Services reserves the right to cancel any experience due to unsuitable weather conditions. In such cases, we will endeavor to provide as much notice as possible and offer alternative dates for your experience. Should no suitable dates be available, we will issue a full refund.

Vouchers are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase, providing flexibility for voucher holders to book their preferred date.

To ensure fairness and accessibility for all our customers, bookings are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. Our website and customer service team can provide up-to-date information on availability and any seasonal variations in scheduling.
Weather Dependence
Due to the outdoor nature of drone flying, events are weather dependent.

Should weather conditions deem it unsafe or impractical to proceed on the scheduled date, we will notify you as soon as possible to arrange an alternative date.
Changes to Scheduled Events
While Aircam Drone Services endeavors to deliver all experiences as scheduled, we reserve the right to make changes to event dates, times, or locations due to unforeseen circumstances such as equipment issues, safety concerns, or extreme weather. In the event of such changes, we will inform you at the earliest opportunity and offer alternative arrangements. If the alternatives provided are not suitable, you will be entitled to reschedule your experience at a more convenient time or receive a full refund.
Customer-Requested Changes
If you wish to change your booked experience date or details, please contact our customer service team at least 14 days before your scheduled event. We will do our best to accommodate your request based on availability and operational capacity. Please note that changes may be subject to an administration fee.
