5. UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES
Natural High Wildlife Expeditions reserves the right to change departure times, minimum amount of participants and to cancel trips within 4 weeks prior to departure (or up to the starting time for day trips) in the event of an insufficient amount of participants in relation to the minimum amounts stated in brochures or on the website.
Furthermore, we reserve the right to cancel trips up to the starting time of the trip due to force majeure or other circumstances that are beyond the control of the company and that prevent the completion of the trip or event. In such events, Natural High Wildlife Expeditions shall be entitled to cancel the agreement without incurring liability beyond the amount that the customer has already paid.
We also reserve the right to change the program in the course of the trip, if the planner/guide deems such changes necessary for security or technical reasons (weather conditions, scooter break-down, delays etc). In the Arctic, the weather is in charge, and the extreme conditions that can prevail in certain situations may necessitate changes to the program (also due to ongoing rescue operations); consequently, such unforeseen circumstances do not entitle customers to any price reductions.
Natural High Wildlife Expeditions will attempt to the extent possible to carry out the trip as described. The safety of our guests will always be our first priority.
6. CUSTOMER LIABILITY
The customer shall be responsible for evaluating his/her own physical and mental condition in relation to the contents of the trip. The customer shall at all times adhere to the instructions given by the event leader, and at no times is it allowed to bring private weapons or pyrotechnical equipment on our trips. Natural High Wildlife Expeditions reserves the right to refuse a person to participate in our activities if such person is considered to represent a safety risk, or if such person displays such conduct so as to be of nuisance to other participants of the trip.
7. INSURANCE
Natural High Wildlife Expeditions activities are covered through liability insurance taken out with our insurance company. We have also furnished a guarantee towards the Governor of Svalbard for expenses in connection with potential rescue missions on Svalbard. Natural High Wildlife Expeditions will accept no liability for damages occurring or losses incurring beyond our control. For participation in our longer trips, the individual participant must have an individual travel insurance. Such insurance may be purchased from a travel agent or from a personal insurance company.
8. NORWEGIAN ACT ON PACK TRIPS
