2. Voucher Refunds
14 Day Change-of-Mind Refund Policy
If you have purchased an Adventure Voucher from Adrenaline, you can request a refund of the Adventure Voucher within 14 days of the purchase date. The refund excludes any delivery or transaction fees paid at the time of purchase. The change-of-mind refund policy excludes physical products, Flexi Vouchers and bookings.
Conditions of a Change-of-Mind Refund:
- Change-of-mind refunds are only permitted for valid vouchers that have not been used, i.e. where an adventure date has not yet been booked on the Adrenaline system. Once you have requested a booking, your voucher cannot be cancelled and is not refundable for a change-of-mind.
- The refund will be processed back to the purchaser only.
- The Change-of-Mind Policy does not apply to Flexi Vouchers, Gift Cards, Physical Products, or any purchases made through a rewards platform points system (eg. Redii or other partner platforms).
- After the elapse of 14 days from the purchase date, no refunds will be granted for ‘Change-of-Mind’. Un-used, un-expired vouchers can be used for a different adventure of your choice.
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 Adrenaline with any issues with a product or adventure voucher purchased through Adrenaline. Upon receiving your query, Adrenaline will contact the supplier or Adventure 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 products purchased on Adrenaline (e.g. Gifts & Hampers and their contents) they must be of acceptable quality, free from defects, match what was advertised and be reasonably fit for the purpose considering the prices and description provided to you at the point of sale. If there is a major failure with the product not fulfilling any of these criteria then you will be entitled to a refund in accordance with your statutory consumer guarantee rights so long as the complaint is made to us within a reasonable period of time.
- In respect of services, it is the independent Adventure Providers who provide the adventure to you following the redemption of an adventure 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 Adventure Provider not providing the adventure with due skill and care, not providing the adventure within a reasonable period of time within the validity period, or with the adventure 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.
3. Selection of Adrenaline Adventures
Adventure Vouchers
The purchaser or recipient of an adventure voucher, at any time during the validity period, can make a booking, for any adventure on the Adrenaline website. The adventure presented on the voucher is only a suggestion from the purchaser of the voucher.
Your adventure voucher is flexible and can be used as a method of payment or any Adrenaline bookings on the website. However, if you choose an adventure of higher value, you will be required and prompted to pay the difference. Additionally, if the new adventure 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.
Booking Requests
Availability via booking requests can take between 2-4 hours to be confirmed or denied. Make sure to allow for this in your plans.
Gifts & Hampers
Once an Adrenaline Gifts & Hampers product has been purchased and dispatched, it cannot be exchanged or refunded for change-of-mind.
4. Prices
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.
Adrenaline charges a transaction fee to recover the costs it incurs for various payment methods. Adrenaline 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 Adrenaline 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.

Bookings are not finalised until you have received the email entitled "Confirmation of your booking". Please be advised that some adventures display availability dates on the website. These dates are guidelines only and are subject to change.

The above excludes adventures purchased under ‘Last Minute Deals’ which are bound by terms and conditions visible here: https://www.adrenaline.com.au/last-minute-deals/

Adrenaline accepts no liability for the removal of adventure from the website (subject to your statutory consumer guarantee rights, for more information see section 2).
12. Contact Details Given to Adventure Providers
It is your responsibility to ensure you enter your email address and other contact details correctly when you complete the adventure booking process on an Adrenaline website.

As the adventure provider will be expecting you, you may end up forfeiting your adventure (subject to the adventure provider's terms and conditions).
13. Booking Cancellations
Once your booking has been made it is non-refundable, further, if you cancel it, you may incur a cancellation fee from the Adventure Provider. Our adventure providers have their own cancellation policies which you are bound to follow. In the case of short notice cancellations by you or if you fail to show at the booked time or day, you may lose your voucher completely if the Adventure Provider is unable to fill your space on the day. If an Adventure Provider needs to cancel an adventure for any reason, you will be offered to reschedule to a convenient alternative date. In the event of multiple adventure cancellations by the Adventure Provider or if the Adventure 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 (for more information see section 2), Adrenaline will not reimburse any travelling, accommodation or other expenses incurred by you or any other person in the event of a cancellation.
14. The Weather
Many adventures are weather dependent. You will have the Adventure Provider's details so you can call to confirm whether adverse weather affects your proposed adventure. We suggest you call on the morning of your adventure 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. In the event of multiple cancellations for adverse weather or if the Adventure 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).
15. Complaints or Problems During Your Adventure
If you have a problem or a complaint on the day of your adventure, please bring this to the adventure provider's attention immediately so that issues may be addressed on the spot, where possible.
16. Insurance
Some of the adventures that we promote as an agent are considered dangerous. Prior to ordering or participating in any adventure you should be aware of the risks involved. Adrenaline can provide further information if you are in any doubt about any adventure. Adventure 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 adventure provider or other third parties as to the need to acquire your own insurance cover.
17. Descriptions of Adventures and Products
Adventures
Independent adventure providers provide the information about their adventures. We try to ensure that our promotional information is accurate and up-to-date.

The adventures provider (upon confirmation of each booking) will provide the final details about each adventure. The adventures provider will notify you of any subsequent changes. Your participation in each adventure is conditional upon your acceptance of the adventure provider's terms and conditions at the time your booking is confirmed by the adventure provider.
