Further, the passenger participates in this tour at his/her own risk.

By forwarding the deposit, the passenger certifies that he/she has no physical, mental or other condition or disability that would create a hazard for himself/herself or other passengers and accepts the terms of this contract. The airlines and other transportation companies concerned are not to be held responsible for any act, omission, or event; during the time passengers are not on board their conveyances. The tour staff is responsible for the group as a whole and will not be able to assist individuals extensively, either on a regular basis or in the case of serious illness or injury. I have read and agree to the terms and conditions outlined above and also listed and specified in the tour brochure, under which this tour is offered - especially noting the policy regarding cancellations and refunds.
