TERMS & CONDITIONS

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

 

The signatory of these Terms & Conditions agrees to be held responsible for ensuring that they are aware of and follow the terms and conditions below in order to ensure a safe sauna environment for all.

 

If you are making this booking on behalf of a group, it is your responsibility to make all members of your booking party aware of these Terms & Conditions and to ensure that safe sauna use is practised.

 

If the Terms agreed to in this disclaimer are breached, Seabiscuit Sauna reserve the right to terminate your hire of the sauna immediately, at their discretion.

 

In participating in a sauna provided by Seabiscuit Sauna, you voluntarily agree to the following Terms & Conditions:

 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RISKS

Using the sauna is an inherently pleasurable and beneficial experience; however, as with all things, there exist elements of risk. Seabiscuit Sauna has assessed and minimised all foreseeable risk in accordance with UK Health and Safety legislation.

However, you must still be mindful of the risk posed by:

 

  • Slippery surfaces caused by water, ice, snow, mud or other substances

  • Exposure to cold (outside) temperatures and associated wind chill

  • Exposure to hot temperatures

  • Exposure to hot equipment, including the benches, where a towel must be used, and the sauna stove

  • Increased internal body temperature

  • Collisions or contact with other persons and objects inside or outside of the sauna

  • Exposure to airborne illnesses or transmittable diseases

  • Extreme weather (wind, storms, waves or otherwise)

 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

 

COLD WATER IMMERSION - river, loch or sea

Seabiscuit Sauna does not recommend swimming due to the varying risks associated with currents, tides and general sea state/water conditions. It must be acknowledged that any user of Seabiscuit Sauna entering a nearby body of water (river, loch or sea) does so entirely at their own risk and Seabiscuit Sauna cannot be held liable for any issue/s arising for anyone doing so.

 

REPRESENTATION OF FITNESS

You should be physically and mentally fit to participate in the sauna. If you have any medical condition that interferes with your ability to sweat, such as anhidrosis, unstable angina pectoris, recent myocardial infarction or severe aortic stenosis, you should not use the sauna. We do not recommend taking or being under the influence of any drugs, alcohol, medication or other substance affecting your mental or physical state. If you have any concerns about your health it is recommended you obtain permission from your GP before using the sauna.

If you are pregnant please also contact your GP for advice before making a booking.

If you have signs and symptoms of Covid-19, or any other acute respiratory illness please let our staff know. We will be happy to rearrange your sauna booking wherever possible.

 

There is no one ‘right’ way to sauna and everyone’s experience is different. It’s therefore vitally important that you are aware of your own body’s needs and manage your experience

accordingly. How long you stay in the sauna and how you cool down is entirely up to you but we encourage a mindful and gentle approach; seeing no need to excessively ‘push’ oneself either physiologically or psychologically.

 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

 

CHILDREN AND THE SAUNA

Children under 16 years and above 12 years are now permitted to use the saunas as long as an adult family member/guardian is present at all times during the hire/use of the sauna.

The adult/guardian will be asked to note the relationship between them and the minor. This will subsequently need to be signed by them prior to hire/use.

 

HEALTH AND SAFETY

We strongly recommend you do not use glass drinking vessels in the sauna and

Seabiscuit Sauna will not be liable for any injuries caused by glass breakages in or around the sauna.

 

ALCOHOL AND DRUGS

We strongly recommend you do not use the sauna after the consumption of alcohol, drugs, medications, or other substances that may impair your judgment as these can interfere with your body’s ability to regulate temperature and cause injury.

This is the hirer’s responsibility and we will not be held liable for any accidents or damages as a result of intoxication.

 

SMOKING

You may not smoke or use e-cigarettes inside the sauna.
