Terms & Conditions

We've tried to keep these as readable as possible. They cover how bookings work, what happens if you need to cancel, and a few other things we're legally required to spell out. By completing a booking you're agreeing to all of this.

Last updated: March 2026

Who we are

TambaBowl is the trading name of [COMPANY NAME] (Jersey Companies Registry number: [REG NUMBER]), registered at [REGISTERED ADDRESS], Jersey.

When we say “we”, “us”, or “our” throughout these terms, that's who we mean. You can find our contact details on the Contact page.

1. How bookings work

Your booking is confirmed instantly when you complete checkout — you'll get a confirmation email straight away with your booking reference. If it doesn't arrive within a few minutes, check your spam folder, then drop us a message.

All bookings are subject to availability. Please double-check the details you enter are correct — we can't be responsible if a booking falls through because of a typo in your email address or phone number.

You need to be 18 or over to make an online booking. If you're booking on behalf of a younger group, a parent or guardian must authorise the booking.

2. Prices & payment

All prices include any applicable Jersey GST. Payment is taken in full at the time of booking.

If we ever display an incorrect price by mistake, we'll let you know before processing your booking. You'll always have the choice to book at the correct price or get a full refund — we won't just quietly charge you more.

Voucher codes and Tamba Points each have their own terms and can't usually be stacked unless the booking page says otherwise.

A note on Jersey law

Unlike the UK or EU, Jersey doesn't have a statutory 14-day cooling-off period for leisure bookings made for a specific date or time (bowling sessions, dining, and similar). Your cancellation rights are those set out in Section 4 below — not a general right to cancel within 14 days.

3. Online bookings & Jersey law

Jersey has no equivalent of the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations or the EU Consumer Rights Directive for leisure services booked for a fixed date. This means there's no automatic right to cancel after booking. Your rights are those we've set out in Section 4, plus any rights required under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) (Jersey) Law 2016.

4. Cancellations & refunds

We get that plans change. Here's what happens depending on how much notice you give us. All times are measured from your confirmed booking start time. To cancel, contact us with your booking reference via the Contact page.

Cancellation windows

48+ hours before — full refund

Cancel with more than 48 hours to go and we'll refund everything. Refunds go back to the original payment method within 5–10 working days.

24–48 hours before — 50% refund

Cancel between 24 and 48 hours before your booking and we'll refund half. The other half covers the short-notice slot we couldn't fill.

Under 24 hours, or no-show — no refund

Cancellations inside 24 hours or simply not turning up — we're unable to offer a refund at that point.

Refunds go back to the card or payment method you originally used. We can't redirect them elsewhere.

If you used Tamba Points on a booking you then cancel for a refund, we'll put the points back on your account.

If only part of your group shows up, we treat the no-shows the same as a last-minute cancellation — no refund for the empty spots.

5. If we need to cancel or move your booking

Sometimes things happen outside our control — a lane goes down, we have to close for maintenance, or something else gets in the way. If we have to cancel your booking, we'll let you know as soon as possible and give you a full refund.

If we need to move you to a different time, we'll offer you the new slot first. If it doesn't work for you, you'll get a full refund instead.

Occasionally we may offer a goodwill credit if something goes partially wrong on our end. Credits like this are entirely at our discretion — they're not something you can demand, and they have no cash value.

6. Something went wrong?

We aim to deliver every session well. Under the Supply of Goods and Services (Jersey) Law 2009, we're required to provide our services with reasonable care and skill — and that's exactly what we intend to do.

If you feel we fell short, please get in touch within 14 days of your visit. We'll acknowledge your message within 2 working days and aim to sort it within 14. Depending on what happened, we might offer to make it right with a repeat visit, a partial refund, or a credit.

7. Our liability to you

We never try to limit our responsibility for things we can't legally limit — that includes death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or any fraud on our part.

For everything else, if something goes wrong on our end the most we're liable for is the amount you actually paid us for that booking. We're not responsible for indirect losses like lost enjoyment, travel costs, or anything caused by events outside our control (weather, power cuts, and so on).

We do our best to keep the website accurate, but we're not liable for decisions made based on information that turned out to be incorrect.

You're responsible for how you and your group behave during your visit. If someone in your party is causing a problem, we may ask them to leave — and that won't entitle anyone to a refund.

8. Fair trading

We operate in line with the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) (Jersey) Law 2016. We won't mislead you about our services or prices. If you ever think otherwise, you can raise it with the Jersey Consumer Council or Trading Standards.

9. Your data

When you book, we collect your name, email, and phone number to manage your booking and keep in touch about your visit. If you've opted in to marketing, we'll occasionally send you offers — you can unsubscribe any time.

We handle your data under the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2018, which follows the same structure as GDPR. You can ask to see, correct, or delete your data by contacting us. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Jersey, Channel Islands. If there's ever a dispute we can't resolve between us, Jersey courts have jurisdiction.

11. Updates to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version that was live when you made your booking is the one that applies to it. Worth checking back before you book if it's been a while.
