Refund policy

The Waiouru Army training area is Defence Force property and the Army has total discretion to cancel public events. Cancellation will be a last resort and, where available, an event may be modified to utilise different parts of the training area. Events could potentially be cancelled or modified due to the following:

  1. Military training requirements.
  2. Change in Army and Defence Force policy relating to permitting public access to the Waiouru training area.
  3. Severe fire risk.
  4. Severe weather conditions that could cause danger to participants.
  5. Volcanic activity from nearby Tongariro National Park and its associated dangers.

The refund policy is as follows:

  1. If the event is cancelled 7 days or more prior to the scheduled start date*, then a 60%** refund will be provided.
  2. If the event is cancelled 1-7 days prior to the scheduled start date*, then a 25%** refund will be provided.
  3. If a registered participant has to cancel more than 7 days prior to the start of the event due to medical reasons, then a 100%* refund will be provided.
  4. If the event has to be modified due to any reason, then no refunds are payable.
  5. Once an event has commenced, no refunds are payable if the event has to be shortened for any reason or the participant becomes injured or his/her equipment fails.
  6. If the event is cancelled within 24 hours of the scheduled start date*, then no refund is payable.

* The scheduled start date is deemed to be 0700hrs on the first morning of the event.

** The refund amount relates to the cost of camping/riding only. It excludes the cost of any meals and merchandise already pre-paid. If these items can be on-sold or cancelled then the organisers have the power to provide a full or partial refund on these costs, depending upon the circumstances at the time.
