In the instance that the required behaviour is not followed, our team member will visit again and advise that we have previously discussed our concerns with you, and give you the opportunity to ask further questions or clarify the actions required. At this stage we will remind you of our 3-step approach and that we may need to ask you to leave the Site if the issue continues.
3. At this stage, we have already spoken to you twice about this issue, with clear actions required, and have advised of the consequences of not complying with our Terms and Conditions. You will be advised of your need to depart your Tipi at that time and you will not receive a refund.

We hope in all instances that we are able to resolve the issues at stage 1 or 2. If not, section 16.0 below will apply.
