Guarantees and Warranties Required By Law The Change of Mind policy above is in addition to your rights under both Australian and New Zealand Consumer Law in respect of guarantees and warranties for our products and services which by law cannot be excluded. You should contact Telsim Experience with any issues with a product or experience voucher purchased through Telsim Experience. Upon receiving your query, Telsim Experience will contact the supplier or Experience Provider to endeavour to resolve the issue on your behalf. If your issue cannot be resolved, we will provide you a remedy in accordance with your statutory consumer guarantee rights and these terms and conditions. In Particular: In respect of services, it is the independent Experience Providers who provide the experience to you following the redemption of an experience voucher (see section 9). You will be entitled to a refund in accordance with your statutory consumer guarantee rights if there is a major failure with the Experience Provider not providing the experience with due skill and care, not providing the experience within a reasonable period of time within the validity period, or with the experience not being fit for the purpose described at the point of sale. Please note that refunds can only be processed back to the original purchaser.
Experience Vouchers The purchaser or recipient of an experience voucher, at any time during the validity period, can make a booking, for any experience on the Telsim Experience website. The experience presented on the voucher is only a suggestion from the purchaser of the voucher. Your experience voucher is flexible and can be used as a method of payment or any Telsim Experience bookings on the website. However, if you choose an experience of higher value, you will be required and prompted to pay the difference. Additionally, if the new experience chosen is of lesser value, any remaining balance will be held on that voucher for use at a future date. The value of your voucher that becomes available does not include any delivery or transaction fees paid at the time of purchase.
Availability via booking requests can take between 2–4 hours to be confirmed or denied. Make sure to allow for this in your plans.
We reserve the right to change prices without notice. Where applicable, all prices include Goods and Services Tax (GST) at the current rate of 10% in Australia and 15% in New Zealand. Telsim Experience may charge a transaction fee to recover the costs it incurs for various payment methods. Telsim Experience charges no fees for payments made using debit cards, ZipPay or AfterPay and fees will not apply when redeeming a voucher. Transaction fees vary dependent on the payment method chosen. If transaction fees apply, the transaction fees charged will be clearly displayed to Telsim Experience customers at the time of purchase. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, products may be incorrectly displayed on our website at a price that is lower than the correct price. Where there is such a manifest error, we will notify you of the error as soon as possible to provide you with the option of purchasing the product at the correct price. In the event that you do not wish to pay the correct price, we reserve our rights to cancel your order, in which case we will refund you any payments that you have made to us in respect of that product.

All experiences are offered by Experience Providers subject to availability. Bookings are recommended to be made at least 3 weeks in advance. If you would like to book during peak times (such as weekends or holidays), you should book further in advance. Bookings are not finalised until you have received the email entitled "Confirmation of your booking". Please be advised that some experiences display availability dates on the website. These dates are guidelines only and are subject to change. We suggest that if you plan to purchase a voucher for a date listed at short notice, you contact us to ensure there is still availability before completing the transaction. The above excludes experiences purchased under 'Hot Deals' which are bound by separate terms and conditions. All Telsim Experience experiences are subject to removal from our website at any time without notice. In the event that an experience is removed from the site and the Experience Provider is no longer honouring bookings or an experience is otherwise no longer available, you will be offered a choice of remedy in accordance with your statutory consumer guarantee rights such as an alternative experience of the same value (if available) or a refund back to the original purchaser only. Where you choose to receive a refund, the refund will be processed back to the purchaser only (we are unable to provide a refund to the recipient of an experience voucher) for the original amount paid excluding any delivery and transaction fees. Where the original purchase was made by Gift Voucher or Gift Card, the experience voucher will be credited in the original form of tender. Telsim Experience accepts no liability for the removal of experience from the website (subject to your statutory consumer guarantee rights, for more information see section 2).
It is your responsibility to ensure you enter your email address and other contact details correctly when you complete the experience booking process on an Telsim Experience website. Failure to do so may result in loss or incorrect delivery of the email confirmation of your experience. As the experience provider will be expecting you, you may end up forfeiting your experience (subject to the experience provider's terms and conditions).
Our experience providers have their own cancellation policies which you are bound to follow. Please refer to the cancellation terms section on the product description page for the policy specific to your chosen experience. In the case of cancellations by you or if you fail to show at the booked time or day, you may lose your voucher completely if the Experience Provider is unable to fill your space on the day. If an Experience Provider needs to cancel an experience for any reason, you will be offered to reschedule to a convenient alternative date, or provided with a credit from the supplier. In the event of multiple experience cancellations by the Experience Provider or if the Experience Provider cannot reschedule within a reasonable period of time, you may be entitled to a remedy in accordance with your statutory consumer guarantee rights (for more information see section 2). Except as required by your statutory consumer guarantee rights, Telsim Experience will not reimburse any travelling, accommodation or other expenses incurred by you or any other person in the event of a cancellation unless covered specifically under our Cancellation Guarantee. In all other circumstances, cancelling a booking with Telsim Experience can result in cancellation fees being applied by Telsim Experience. Additional fees may be levied by the individual supplier/operator (see your Telsim Experience Voucher for specific details). When cancelling any booking you will be notified via email, facsimile or telephone of the total cancellation fees.
Many experiences are weather dependent. You will have the Experience Provider's details so you can call to confirm whether adverse weather affects your proposed experience. We suggest you call on the morning of your experience if you have any doubt about the weather suitability. If bad weather affects a booking, you will be offered alternative times to reschedule at no cost to you, or provided with a credit from the supplier. If the supplier is unable to reschedule, please contact Telsim Experience within 7 days of the cancellation to arrange a recredit to the payment method you used to make the booking. In the event of multiple cancellations for adverse weather or if the Experience Provider cannot reschedule within a reasonable period of time, you may be entitled to a remedy in accordance with your statutory consumer guarantee rights (for more information see section 2).
If you have a problem or a complaint on the day of your experience, please bring this to the experience provider's attention immediately so that issues may be addressed on the spot, where possible.
Some of the experiences that we promote as an agent are considered dangerous. Prior to ordering or participating in any experience you should be aware of the risks involved. Telsim Experience can provide further information if you are in any doubt about any experience. Experience providers warrant that they maintain appropriate public liability insurance for all risks associated with its business and service provisions. We make no warranty or representation about their business or services whatsoever (subject to your statutory consumer guarantee rights, for more information see section 2). The responsibility rests with you to make independent enquiries with the experience provider or other third parties as to the need to acquire your own insurance cover.
Independent experience providers provide the information about their experiences. We try to ensure that our promotional information is accurate and up-to-date. However, the content or format of some experiences may change slightly from time to time. The experience provider (upon confirmation of each booking) will provide the final details about each experience. The experience provider will notify you of any subsequent changes. Your participation in each experience is conditional upon your acceptance of the experience provider's terms and conditions at the time your booking is confirmed by the experience provider.

You may be turned away on the day of the experience if you are not able to produce evidence that you have complied with the State-based regulations, such as full vaccination or medical exemption. Failure to adhere to these or other State-based guidelines may result in forfeiture of monies paid. Please refer to section 13 - Cancellations.
