RISK ACCEPTANCE
Some of the ANTIS EXPEDITIONS itineraries have been designed to provide participants with exposure to the true nature of the environment visited. They therefore involve an element of personal risk, which could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death or damage to the client, their property or third parties. The client understands that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity and therefore assumes them as part of the trip. The client accepts that he is aware of his physical and health condition and that, knowing this, he decides to assume the aforementioned risks. The client excludes ANTIS EXPEDITIONS from all liability linked to any accident or injury that may occur.
AUTHORITY ON THE TOUR
At all times the decision of the guide or company representative will be final in all matters that may endanger the safety and well-being of the tour group. The client must follow the guide’s instructions at all times.
The client must strictly comply with the drug laws and regulations of Peru at all times. If the client does not comply with the above, or if the client interferes with the well-being of the group then the guide or company representative may order the client to leave the tour without any refund.
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
The client must be in possession of a valid passport. The original document or at least a copy has to be brought on the tour.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
We strongly advise you to take out travel insurance that covers accidents, medical expenses and emergency repatriation, including rescue and air ambulance. We also recommend that you cover cancellations and lost luggage.
THIRD PARTY SERVICES
ANTIS EXPEDITIONS directly operates part of the services included in a program but also makes arrangements with airlines, hotels and other independent parties to provide you with the travel services you purchase. We take all reasonable measures to ensure that the organizations that provide services maintain our quality standards. However, these parties are independent suppliers over whom we do not have full direct control.
Therefore, ANTIS EXPEDITIONS cannot accept any responsibility for losses, damages, inconveniences, delays, etc.
CLAIMS AND COMPLAINTS
If a client has a complaint against the company, the client must first inform the guide during the tour so that the guide can attempt to rectify the matter. Any other claim must be submitted in writing to the company within 7 days of the end of the trip.
Jurisdiction for all claims or disputes will be exclusively in Cusco, Peru, whose courts, using Peruvian law, will have exclusive jurisdiction.
Claims for damages against ANTIS EXPEDITIONS will be limited to the value of the particular item in dispute. Any liability is limited to the total price paid for the tour. In all cases the company specifically excludes all liability for indirect, incidental or consequential losses or expenses, including lost profits.
Thank you for trusting us and have a good trip!
