Both parties agree to these Terms and Conditions to resolve any legal or other disputes that may arise during the trip.
Please read carefully:
Payment and Refund Policy
Upon booking, a minimum of 35% of the total cost of the trek per person is required. Regardless of whether the trip is first paid either by this 35% or the full amount upfront, 35% of the full cost is treated as a ‘non-refundable deposit’. If just the 35% deposit is the initial payment, then the remaining balance must be paid 30 days prior to the trek departure date.
Cancellation by the Client
In the event that you need to cancel your trip, there is a 35% non-refundable deposit that you will incur with respect to administrative fees. Should you need to cancel you must contact us as soon as possible via our email address.
Further details: Cancellations that are 10 days or less before the trek departure date will result in no refund whatsoever due to contractual obligations with all the necessary services required for the trek. Cancellations made before the 10 days but no more than 30 days will result in a 50% non-refundable fee of the total cost of the trek per person. Cancellations made 31 days or more before the trek departure date will incur the standard non-refundable 35% deposit.
The Client is strongly advised to take out a suitable travel insurance policy to cover any such unforeseen circumstances.
Please note that if you leave a trip for any reason after it has commenced we are not obliged to make any refunds for unused services.
