Nothing in these terms (including the exclusions and limitations in this section 11) excludes, restricts or modifies any guarantee, right or remedy that under law cannot be excluded, modified or restricted such as your statutory consumer guarantee rights, including under the Australian Consumer Law (for more information see section 2 and section 13).
Subject to such legislation:
Nothing in these terms (including the exclusions and limitations in this section 12) excludes, restricts or modifies any guarantee, right or remedy that under law cannot be excluded, modified or restricted such as your statutory consumer guarantee rights, including under the Australian Consumer Law (for more information see section 2 and section 13).
Subject to such legislation, Pineapple Tours has:
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 “Pineapple Tours booking confirmation”. 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.
All Pineapple Tours experiences are subject to removal from our website at any time without notice.
In the event that you have sought to fulfil your experience by booking and that experience is removed from the site and the experience provider is no longer honouring bookings or the experience is otherwise no longer available, you will be offered a choice of remedy in accordance with your statutory consumer guarantee rights such as a Pineapple Tours Account Credit for the value of the voucher (which will be given to the holder of the voucher), for an alternative experience of the same value (if available). In the event no reasonable alternative is available and the experience is still within the validity period (18 months from date of purchase). Pineapple Tours will provide or a refund back to the original purchaser only (for more information on your statutory consumer guarantee rights see section 2). If the voucher is outside the validity period you will be offered a Pineapple Tours Account Credit for the value of the voucher. The Pineapple Tours Account Credit will have the same expiry date as the original experience voucher.
Where you 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 Pineapple Tours Gift Voucher, Gift Card or Account Credit, the experience voucher will be credited in the original form of tender.
Pineapple Tours accepts no liability for the removal of experiences 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 a Pineapple Tours 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 voucher (subject to the experience provider’s terms and conditions).
Once your booking has been made, if you cancel it, you may incur a cancellation fee from the experience provider. Our experience providers have their own cancellation policies which you are bound to follow. In the case of short notice cancellations by you, 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. 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 (for more information see section 2), Pineapple Tours will not reimburse any travelling, accommodation or other expenses incurred by you or any other person in the event of a cancellation.
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. 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. Pineapple Tours 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.
Experiences
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.
Gift Products

The photographs used on our websites to illustrate single or multi-location experiences are provided to us by experience providers and are used as an indication only of the machines, vehicles, craft, venues and animals you will experience.
Pineapple Tours experience providers are located at many of Australia and New Zealand’s best locations. We are continually adding locations but occasionally we may need to stop featuring some venues. Where locations are described as “Australia-wide” or “New Zealand-wide” the description is indicative only. Some experiences may not be available in remote areas.
Experience session lengths are approximate and are given by experience providers as a guide to the total time you will be at their venue. Unless otherwise stated, you will normally take your turn with the experience provider’s other customers and there may be waiting time involved. Any itinerary provided to you is indicative only and the order of events may change.
Certain experiences provided by experience providers are subject to minimum age, weight, health or other restrictions. These restrictions are outlined on the relevant experience information page and also in the email of your booking confirmation. Please read this information carefully. It is your responsibility to understand any restrictions prior to confirming your booking. If you are later forced to cancel due to restrictions, you may be liable for charges by the provider of your experience or forfeit the experience all together.
