  1. Deposits, Cancellations & Refunds

Drone Services

Where a deposit is required, the booking is not confirmed until the deposit has been received.

Deposits secure the agreed booking date and enable Hellicam Ltd to allocate pilots, equipment, administration time, flight planning and operational resources specifically to your project.

For this reason, all deposits paid towards drone services are non-refundable.

If a customer cancels a confirmed booking, any deposit paid shall be retained by Hellicam Ltd to cover administration, planning costs and the reservation of operational time.

Where a customer wishes to postpone a booking, Hellicam Ltd may, entirely at its discretion, transfer the deposit to an alternative date, subject to availability.

Franchise Reservations

Where a deposit is paid to reserve a Hellicam franchise territory or begin the franchise application process, the selected territory will ordinarily be removed from active marketing whilst the application progresses.

Deposits also contribute towards:

  • Administration
  • Documentation
  • Training preparation
  • Onboarding
  • Business planning
  • Territory reservation

Accordingly, all franchise reservation deposits are non-refundable once received.

Any remaining franchise balance shall become payable in accordance with the Franchise Agreement.

Cancellation by Hellicam

Hellicam Ltd reserves the right to postpone or cancel services where circumstances beyond our reasonable control prevent the safe or lawful delivery of the service.

These circumstances include but are not limited to:

  • Heavy rain
  • High winds
  • Electrical storms
  • Temporary Flight Restrictions
  • Airspace restrictions
  • Civil Aviation Authority requirements
  • Equipment failure
  • Illness
  • Force majeure events

Where possible, an alternative appointment will be offered.

If Hellicam Ltd is unable to provide the agreed service within a reasonable period and no alternative arrangement can be agreed, monies paid towards the undelivered service will be refunded, excluding any completed work already undertaken.

  1. Civil Aviation Authority Compliance

All drone operations undertaken by Hellicam Ltd are conducted in accordance with applicable United Kingdom legislation and Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) requirements.

Hellicam Ltd will not undertake any operation that it believes may:

  • Breach aviation legislation.
  • Compromise public safety.
  • Endanger people or property.
  • Infringe controlled or restricted airspace.
  • Require permissions that have not been obtained.
  • Present unacceptable operational risks.

Our pilots reserve the absolute right to postpone, amend or cancel any flight where safety could reasonably be compromised.

Safety will always take priority over commercial considerations.

Customers are responsible for ensuring that:
