Terms & Conditions
These are the terms under which we offer The 2024 Alpine Rye Tour. By registering and paying your deposit for a Tour, you are entering into this Participant Agreement with us. Please read these terms carefully
before making a deposit or payment for our Tour.
Because COVID-19 remains challenging in Europe, and because everyone's safety is of paramount concern, we strongly recommend that all participants be vaccinated with the most recent COVID booster, as well as the 2024 RSV and flu vaccines.
All rail travel is based on second (2nd) class seating. All internal air is based on economy class seating and is 100% non-refundable at time of final payment. All rail and air carriers are independent contractors and are not owned, managed, controlled or operated by the Sponsor or the Operators.
Your rail or airline ticket constitutes a contract between yourself and the railways or airlines (and not Sponsor or Operator). The Sponsor is not liable for, and does not assume responsibility for, or accept claims with regard to seat assignments, name changes, schedule changes, train or flight changes and/or cancellations. Should you change or cancel your rail or air transportation arrangements before or after your travel begins, you are responsible for all change and cancellation fees.
BAGGAGE
The luggage limit is 20 kg (~44 lbs) per person for economy-class flights. Baggage and personal effects are at the owner's risk throughout the travel program, and Sponsor does not assume any liability for lost or damaged baggage. Please check with your international carrier for other baggage restrictions and fees applicable to your international flights.
SUBSTITUTION
We will make commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Itinerary as it has been published; however, the final Itinerary may vary due to availability and factors beyond our control. We may in our sole discretion substitute services such as hotels or goods of similar quality for any service or good stated in the Itinerary and The Fine Print.
HEALTH & SAFETY
We strongly recommended that you visit your physician for a pre-trip check-up. If you have a pre-existing condition, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart/lung disease or a nervous disorder, it is advisable to confirm with your physician that you may safely participate in all activities during your tour. All travelers should bring a sufficient supply of any necessary prescription medicines, in their original containers and with clear labels, as refills may be difficult to obtain in the areas we visit.
If you decide to participate in any activities including, but not limited to, any excursions involving animals, riding on animals, scuba diving, snorkeling, hot air ballooning, ziplining, high altitude treks, climbing, whitewater rafting, primate tracking and any activity which Sponsor considers to carry inherent risk of serious illness, injury or death ("Activities") then you fully understand and acknowledge that Activities carry with them various inherent risks, including serious illness, injury or death and you take complete responsibility for your own health and safety and agree to assume all risks of injury, illness or death, whether foreseen or unforeseen, that may you may incur as a result of participating in any Activities and agree to release Sponsor, individually and severally, its agents, employees and representatives from any liability whatsoever related thereto.
Further, as consideration for being permitted to participate in the Activities; you release Sponsor, whether known or unknown, from, and agree not to sue or make claim against Sponsor for, property damage, cancellation of any Activities for any reason, illness, negligent rescue operations or procedures, personal injury, or death arising out of your participation in the Activities, and any activity related thereto, including transportation to and from the site of the Activities, regardless of whether such property damage, illness, personal injury, or death results from the negligence of Sponsor (but not its reckless, willful, or fraudulent conduct), and/or from any defect in equipment.
You further agree to indemnify and hold Sponsor harmless with respect to any claim made against Sponsor by anyone else which (a) is related to your participation, or (b) which would be subject to the above release and covenant not to sue if you had made the claim directly yourself.
SUPPLIERS' ACTS OR OMISSIONS
The Sponsor acts only as an independent contractor to supply or arrange for the travel services named in the Itinerary and The Fine Print or otherwise to procure services or goods from third parties such as airlines, railways, hotels and other lodging providers, local hosts, guides, bus lines, car rental companies, driving services, restaurants and providers of entertainment (the “Suppliers”). The Sponsor assumes no responsibility for any personal injury, property damage or other loss, accident, delay, inconvenience or irregularity which may be occasioned by reason of any act or omission of any of the Suppliers.
CONDUCT DURING THE TOUR
You are responsible for respecting the authority and following the directions of the Tour guide and the laws of the countries in the Itinerary during a Tour. We may exclude you from participating in all or any part of the Tour if, in our sole discretion, your condition or behavior renders you unfit for the Tour or unfit for continuation once the Tour has begun. Unfitness may include, without limitation, any behavior that, regardless of its cause, is inappropriate or offensive or interferes with the delivery of Tour services or may constitute a hazard or embarrassment. In such case, our liability shall be strictly limited to refund of the recoverable cost of any unused portion of the Tour. Should you decide for any reason not to participate in certain parts of the Tour or use certain goods included in the Tour, no refunds will be made for those unused parts of the Tour or goods. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any costs, damages, losses or liabilities arising out of (a) the actions or omissions of any minors traveling with you and (b) if you checked the box indicating that you are signing on behalf of yourself and your traveling companions, your companions’ claims that you were not authorized to agree to this Participant Agreement on their behalf.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND DAMAGES
In no event will we be liable for any injury, loss, claim, damage or any special, punitive, exemplary, direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages of any kind, whether based in contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise, that arise out of or are in any way connected with the Tour, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Travel Advisories and Warnings: It is your responsibility to become informed about the most current travel advisories and warnings by referring to the U.S. State Department’s travel website at travel.state.gov or by phone at 888 407 4747.
FORCE MAJEURE
We assume no responsibility for any personal injury, property damage or other loss, accident, delay, inconvenience or irregularity which may be occasioned by reason of any matter beyond our exclusive control including but not limited to a delay or cancellation that causes you to miss all or any portion of the Tour, acts of God, acts of government, war, terrorist acts, riots, disaster, weather extremes or strikes. We have no special knowledge regarding the financial condition of the Suppliers, unsafe conditions, health hazards, weather hazards or climate extremes at locations to which you may travel. You understand that health care standards, facilities and services abroad may be different or even inadequate for treating health conditions.
