Any transgressions of this nature will be reported to the police and will result in blacklisting – this information will be shared with all of the Cambridge Punt Operators. You will NOT be entitled to any refund under these circumstances.
  3. Please respect your chauffeur at all times. Pay particular notice to any safety announcements and keep your arms and legs inside the punt at all times. Whilst our chauffeurs do their best to avoid collisions it is not always possible. We can accept no responsibility for loss or injury caused by your failure to adhere to our safety guidelines.
