| 1.
Your booking (if we are able
to do so) will be confirmed on receipt
of your deposit of 35% of the price
of the trekking/expedition. You will
be invoiced for the remainder of the
cost, which is payable no later than
2 – 3 days prior to departure. If bookings
are made within 3 weeks of departure,
payment in full is required on confirmation
of the booking.
2. If your
balance is not paid at the specified
time (unless previously arranged with
us in writing) we reserve the right
to cancel your booking.
3. If you
cancel your booking, your deposit will
not be refunded. However, provided you
notify us of your cancellation before
your final payment is due; your deposit
may be transferred to another tour listed
in this web site at any time period.
4. Should
you cancel your booking after you have
paid for the holiday in full and less
than 10 weeks before departure the following
charges are applicable (calculated on
the day written notification is received
by us and expressed as a percentage
of the total tour price):
6 weeks before departure % 0 (deposit
non-refundable)
5/4 weeks before departure 50%
3 weeks before departure 60%
2/1 weeks before departure 100%
5. Should
we cancel your holiday, your deposit
and any other payments made will be
refunded in full. However, if our cancellation
is due to ‘force majored’ any reasonable
expenses we have incurred will be deducted
from your refund. (War, civil or political
unrest is usually known as force majored).
All refunds and compensation are strictly
limited to monies paid to us and we
are not liable for any expenses you
have incurred as a result of this booking.
Your holiday will not be cancelled after
the final payment is due unless we are
forced to do so by force majored.
6. We reserve
the right to alter the quoted prices
in the event of external factors beyond
our control, e.g. changes in exchange
rate or government action etc. Should
any price increase exceed 10% of the
total cost you are free to cancel your
booking and will obtain a full refund
of all monies paid.. However, no additional
charge will be made less than 30 clear
days before the date of commencement
of your tour, except in the case of
bookings made during that period where
additional charges may be made up to.
Every effort will be made to avoid any
increases to the prices.
7. Although
we are trying to arrange your hotel
room, smoking preferences are not guaranteed.
8. The tour
leader or local ground operator who
represents Adventure Thirdpole Treks
has overriding authority on our tours.
By signing our booking form, you agree
to do this. If you commit any illegal
act on a tour with us or if in the opinion
of the tour leader or ground operator
your behavior is detrimental to the
safety and welfare of the group as a
whole you may be asked to leave the
tour without any right to refund.
9. Any complaints
with regard to our tours must be immediately
brought to the attention of the tour
leader, ground operators or hotelier
so that the necessary action to rectify
the matter can be taken. However, if
by the end of the tour you still feel
you have a valid complaint you must
notify the company, in writing, within
14 days of the end of your tour with
Adventure Thirdpole Treks.
10. These
are adventure holidays mostly in developing
countries where lower standards of infrastructure
and efficiency often prevail and we
can only accept your booking on the
understanding that you are aware of
the risks involved in this kind of travel.
The company cannot be held responsible,
unless as a direct result of negligence,
of any mishap to you or your property.
Route and hotel changes may be necessary
and will always be at the discretion
of the trek leaders and Adventure Thirdpole
Treks. They do not constitute an alteration
of your holiday and will not be compensated.
11. It is
essential that you obtain suitable holiday
insurance before joining one of our
tours. This must cover you fully against
repatriation costs should you become
too ill to continue with the tour and
must, above all, cover the evacuation
of yourself from remote regions, should
the need arise. Therefore, we can recommend
you use an insurance package offered
by Adventure Thirdpole Treks.
12. You are
responsible for ensuring all necessary
travel documents are in order. Many
countries require passports to be valid
for at least six months after entry.
The
contents of this web site have been
carefully compiled and to our best belief
at the time of publication (August 2004),
facts given are correct and describe
fully and honestly the tours and expeditions
offered. Any changes will be notified
to you as soon as possible.
13. The responsibility
of any airlines used is limited to the
carriage of passengers and baggage in
accordance with the conditions of their
carriage. The booking conditions may
only be waived by a director of the
company and in writing. These conditions
are subject to and shall be construed
according to Nepalese Law.
14. On signing
the booking form you show your willingness
to accept our terms and conditions.
On accepting your booking we agree to
carry out our obligations to you as
defined.
15. Under
no circumstances can Adventure Thirdpole
Treks, any of our ground operators or
representatives be held responsible
for any wildlife mentioned in our web
site or itineraries, but not actually
seen during the holiday.
