Refund
No refunds, reimbursements or discounts will granted if, for any reason, Client misses the Tour, fails to join the Tour, leaves the Tour, is dismissed from the Tour, or cannot fully participate in the Tour.

- If copies of the completed Forms are not provided to the Company sixty (60) days prior to any Multi-Day Tours, Client agrees to pay Company one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00), which will be added to the Tour Price. If copies of the completed Forms are not provided to the Company twenty-nine (29) days prior to any Multi-Day Tours, the Client’s Tour will be considered a Canceled Tour.
- The Company will use the information on the completed Forms to evaluate whether Client possesses the physical and mental capability necessary to safely and successfully complete the Tour. The Parties agree that the Company may refuse to provide the Tour to anyone on reasonable grounds. If a dispute arises between the Parties as to the Client’s physical or mental suitability for the Tour, Company will refer the Client to a qualified medical professional of the Company’s choosing, at Client’s expense, who will make a determination.

Tour Dangers
Tour will involve risks above and beyond those encountered on a conventional holiday vacation, including, but not limited to, on and off piste skiing and snowboarding, mountain biking, road biking, surfing, stand up paddle boarding (SUP) and other outdoor activities. Client understands and agrees that the above-mentioned activities involve inherent dangers that can result in serious injury, paralysis, and even death. Client agrees they understand and accept personal responsibility for these risks. The Company hires guides and instructors, which helps reduce the dangers of the Tour, but in no case can all inherent risks to Client be eliminated. Client agrees that, while guides and instructors may provide Client with advice and directions, it is ultimately Client’s responsibility to determine the limits of Client’s capability and avoid crossing these limits. Client understands and agrees that Company, its guides, and instructors are not responsible for the choices and decisions Client makes during the Tour that lead to accidents, injuries, or even death. Client accepts sole responsibility for their actions during the Tour. The Tour also involves dangers due to the countries and regions included on the Tour.

The safety of roads and standard of driving practices is lower in some of these regions relative to what Client is accustomed to. Client understands and agrees that Company does not guarantee Client’s safety while traveling with Company.
