Should you be over the limit, you will not be able to jump and will forfeit your course and deposit paid. Weight limits are set for your safety upon landing, and the limitations of the parachuting equipment.
- We reserve the right to postpone your jump, should your instructor consider conditions to be unsafe for your particular weight or build, even if you do meet the stated requirements, and other parachuting is taking place. This is for your safety.

- You must complete the ‘Student Tandem Medical declaration’ F115A or F115B before you start your course. Failure to produce the form will prevent you from making a skydive.

- Once you have booked and paid your deposit, you must attempt to make your skydive within 12 months.

- A change of jump date is permitted, subject to availability and may incur a fee of £30. Transfer to another person is permitted for a fee of £30 upon validation of the age, weight, and medical conditions. Notice for both must be given at least 7 days before the scheduled jump. Failure to do so and/or appear on the day will result in you forfeiting your deposit amount, as well as having to pay the balance of the course.
- We will try to meet any special requests but cannot guarantee to do so. We accept no liability if they are not fulfilled.
- You must attend a training course ahead of your jump. You will agree to fully comply and execute the instructions provided during training and on the day of your jump, by your BS qualified instructor.
- Gift vouchers, whether cash, video tandem or solo jump, are valid for 12 months from the day of purchase and must be paid in full. They are non-refundable and cannot be redeemed for cash.
- The video option can be booked up to 2 weeks prior to the jump. Full payment is required on the day. It should be available for collection from 7 days after the jump.
- The photographic equipment we use, can be subjected to extreme conditions of temperature, humidity, vibration and acceleration forces. On the very rare occasions when equipment malfunctions or produces images obscured by condensation or frost beyond our control, we are not be held responsible. Under these situations, the management will seek to come to a satisfactory solution, based on the fee paid for the video proportion of the agreement. Any video equipment that malfunctions thus described, does not entitle participants to another free skydive.
- Video images captured will vary depending on conditions on the day, including but not limited to, lighting conditions and any cloud formations if present. Any complaints should be brought to the attention of the manger on the day, or as soon as practicable after the event, so that an evaluation can be made. A video shot at mid-day, will have different visuals to a sunset jump. Both may have stunning effects, but we cannot offer sunset shots at 12 noon, and vice-versa.
- The Chief Instructor is responsible for your safety, and that of the other students and instructors. He acts under strict rules and regulations. The ultimate decision lies with him to confirm whether you can jump on the day.
- We will not communicate with intoxicated or disruptive spectators and will not accept abuse from any spectators, who must follow instructions from the safety Marshall’s at all times.
- We operate under safety guidelines laid out by British Skydiving. Circumstances beyond Skydive Jersey’s control, including but not limited to high winds, cloud cover, tidal conditions, refuelling delays, busy air traffic control and specialist aircraft technical faults, all of which we cannot be held responsible for, may delay or stop the day’s operations. If conditions are not suitable, we will wait for an improvement. Only the Chief Instructor will decide when to resume or cancel the jumping. If you haven’t jumped for the above reasons, you should re-schedule your course for a future date of operation which will incur no further cost, within your period of validity.
- We reserve the right to change or postpone the day’s operation or modify our opening days at any times. Should your course be affected, we will let you know as promptly as possible that you should re-schedule it for a suitable alternate date, but we cannot accept responsibility for any extra cost incurred on your behalf to attend the re-scheduled date.
- Your BS tandem provisional membership, includes 3rd party liability insurance. This does not cover you for personal injury or fatal accident. It is valid for 12 months from the date of your first attendance. If you have not completed your skydive within 12 months, an insurance renewal fee will be levied at the current cost.
