Terms of Service
Last Updated: OCT. 8 2026
Welcome to Empower Adventure Operations Tampa Bay LLC dba Empower Adventures Tampa Bay (“EATB,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our website (zipontampabay.com), your booking of our services, and your participation in our text messaging programs. By accessing our website or booking an adventure, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Booking & Eligibility
- Age Requirements: You must be at least 18 years old to make a reservation through our website. If you are booking on behalf of minors, you represent that you are their parent, legal guardian, or have explicit authorization to book and sign waivers on their behalf.
- Payment: Full payment or a required deposit is due at the time of booking. By providing a credit card or other payment method, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated payment method.
2. Activity Requirements & Safety
All outdoor recreation, including zip lining, paddleboarding, and aerial challenges, involves inherent risks. Safety is our top priority.
- Physical Restrictions: Participants must meet our strictly enforced weight, age, and health requirements (as detailed on our FAQ and Activity pages).
- Right to Refuse Service: EATB reserves the right to refuse service to anyone who, in the sole judgment of our staff, poses a safety risk to themselves, our guides, or other guests.
- Zero Tolerance Policy: We enforce a strict zero-tolerance policy for drugs and alcohol. Anyone arriving under the influence will be turned away immediately and will forfeit their booking without a refund.
- Dress Code: Closed-toe shoes are mandatory. Guests arriving in inappropriate footwear or clothing will not be permitted to participate.
3. Liability Waivers
Purchasing a ticket or making a reservation does not grant immediate access to our courses. All participants must read, agree to, and sign our official Assumption of Risk and Release of Liability Waiver prior to participating. Minors must have a waiver signed by their parent or legal guardian. Failure or refusal to sign the waiver will result in cancellation of your tour without a refund.
4. Cancellations, Late Arrivals & Weather Policy
- Guest Cancellations & Late Arrivals: Because our tours have strictly limited capacities and depart on a set schedule, no-shows and late arrivals will not receive refunds. Please refer to our official Cancellation Policy page for specific timelines regarding rescheduling and cancellation fees.
- Weather Disruptions: Our tours run rain or shine. However, for your safety, EATB reserves the right to delay, alter, or cancel tours due to extreme weather (including lightning, high winds, or severe storms). If EATB cancels your tour prior to completion due to weather, we will reschedule your group or issue a voucher/gift certificate for future use.
