5) SUBSTITUTION OF A CLIENT

There is no administration fee for changing the name on a booking.

The Client will have to pay necessary surcharges but if these result in an increase of more than 10% of the trip cost excluding insurance premiums and amendment charges the Client may cancel the booking within 7 days notification of surcharge and obtain a full refund. No surcharge will be imposed within 30 days of departure.
7) INSURANCE
Travel insurance is mandatory for all clients whilst on a trip organized by the Company. It is mandatory that this travel insurance covers adequate personal accident, medical, evacuation and repatriation expenses, as well as cancellation, curtailment, loss of effects and all other expenses that might arise as a result of a loss, damage, injury, delay or inconvenience occurring to the client. Clients, together with their personal property including baggage, are at all times solely at their own risk. Clients are wholly responsible for arranging their own insurance. The Company only insures its own surf equipment. When purchasing insurance, clients should ensure that there are no exclusion clauses limiting protection for the type of activities in their trip.
8) PASSPORT, VISA, AND VACCINATIONS
It is the responsibility of the Client to be in possession of a valid passport, visa permits, inoculations and preventative medicines as may be required for the duration of the trip. Information about these matters or related items is given in good faith but without responsibility on the part of the Company.
9) RESPONSIBILITY
The client acknowledges that participating in the Company's trips requires a degree of flexibility, and understands that the route of a trip, accommodation, and modes of transport are subject to change without prior notice due to local circumstances. Should the Company deem it advisable to amend an itinerary for any reason, it may do so by shortening, varying or re-routing any trip. These changes are binding and additional expenses will be charged to you if the reason for any alteration is outside the Company's control. While traveling with the Company, the client agrees to accept the authority of the leader and/or local operator at all times. You are aware that travel within a group may involve compromise to accommodate the diverse desires and physical abilities of group members. The client understands that the Company reserves the right to decline, accept, or retain any person as a member of the group at any time. The client acknowledges that the Company contracts with a network of companies, government agencies and individuals to assist in running of its trips. To the best of the Company's knowledge, these third parties are qualified to perform the duties they are contracted to perform. However, the Company will not be held liable for any injury including death, damage, loss, delay or irregularity that may occur due to the behavior of these third parties. The Company will not accept responsibility or liability for any client who contravenes any law or regulation of any country visited. No employee, contractor, sub-contractor, servant or agent of the Company has authority to vary these conditions. This agreement is governed by the laws of Spain.
10) EXPECTATIONS
The Company does its utmost to ensure the client a rewarding and enjoyable travel experience. In the case where the Company offers coaching and guiding, the Company also endeavors to provide the Client with the best possible learning experience. The Company understands that expectations vary greatly from person to person, however, and the Company cannot guarantee to meet all the expectations of the various people who attend our trips. By agreeing to these terms and conditions the client accepts that the Company will not be held accountable if our trips do not meet the client's particular expectations. This includes, but is not limited to, meeting your expectations regarding quality or quantity of waves, surf breaks, beaches, quality or quantity of coaching and guiding, quality or type of accommodation, standard or type of transportation, style of trip leadership and organization, and extent of the client's improvement in surfing etc.
11) DANGERS
Traveling with the Company may involve risks above and beyond those encountered on a more conventional holiday. Vacations involving surfing, quad biking, horse and camel riding and sandboarding have inherent dangers that can result in serious injury and even death. Our use of guides and coaches can help to reduce these dangers but it cannot eliminate them. The client must be prepared to accept the risks associated with surfing, quad biking, horse and camel riding and sandboarding when the client attends our trips. Likewise, the client must also be prepared to accept responsibility for their own actions during our trips. Although our guides and coaches may provide the client with advice and directions it is ultimately the client's responsibility to determine their limits of capability and experience and to avoid crossing these limits. The Company will not be held accountable for the choices and decisions made by the client during our trips.
Our vacations may also involve dangers due to the countries and regions we visit. The Company visits some geographical regions where, among other things, standard of accommodation, transport, safety, hygiene, cleanliness, medical facilities, telecommunications, and infrastructure may not be of the standard that the client is used to or would find on a more conventional holiday. The safety of roads and standard of driving practices may also be lower in some of these regions relative to what the client is accustomed to. Although the Company does its utmost to ensure that our drivers adhere to local driving laws and drive carefully and safely, the Company cannot guarantee the safety of the client while driving with us and will not be held accountable for road accidents that occur during the client's travels with us.
By agreeing to these terms and conditions the client accepts the risks outlined in the above two paragraphs and fully assumes the risks of traveling with the Company. The client agrees to release the Company from any liabilities connected to these risks.
