Please note, however, that Visit Beyond regularly updates each trip according to customer recommenda-tions and changes on the ground. Varying conditions and unforeseen circumstances may alter the itinerary, which does not represent a con-

tract between Visit Beyond and its customers. The itinerary is subject to change before and during the trip. As your trip approaches, Visit Beyond recommends you check www.visitbeyond.com for the most accurate and up-to-date itinerary. We reserve the right to make changes without prior notice. Customers should remain flexible and accept that adventur-ous travel with Visit Beyond occasionally necessitates changes in the itinerary. (b) Changes made by the Client: Clients must notify Visit Beyond in writing if they wish to change a booking. In some circumstances we can waive the cancellation fee. Otherwise, the customer must cancel the old trip and make a new booking. The customer must be aware of the cost differences according to season and must be prepared to pay the difference if the trip is changed to a new and more expensive season. Customers can change the name on a booking or change the trips to a third party at any time.

13. PRICE VALIDITY. The prices in this document are in effect at time of printing. Visit Beyond reserves the right to alter prices at any time. Customers should go to www.visitbeyond.com for the most recent prices and itineraries.

14. AIRFARE. Visit Beyond assists customers in booking air travel. Visit Beyond will quote the best price available at the time for the travel dates requested. Visit Beyond reserves the right to levy a surcharge for booking airfare. Tickets are not confirmed until payment has been received. The customer is responsible for checking online reservations within 72 hours of flight departure. If the customer books a trip with Visit Beyond that includes the price of an airline ticket then said ticket is non-refundable. Section 10 (Cancellation of a Tour by the Client) will not apply to the cost of an air ticket.

15. RESPONSIBILITY AND AUTHORITY. Visit Beyond tour leaders’ and representatives’ decisions are final on all matters. Visit Beyond does not tolerate illegal drugs nor do we tolerate visiting prostitutes. Both of these may be common among certain communities we visit but they are illegal nonetheless. Engaging in such activities puts you and your group at serious risk. Possession of illegal drugs is a crime punishable by death in some countries where Visit Beyond operates. Visit Beyond and group leaders reserve the right to immediately expel from the group anyone engaging in these activities. Any financial loss on behalf of the customer is not to be reimbursed by Visit Beyond.

16. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS. The customer must have a passport valid at least six months after returning from the trip. Customers are responsible for obtaining visas. Customers should consult their embassy’s website in the destination country or the destination’s embassy website in their country for the latest visa requirements. Make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months after your return date. We endeavor to keep visa information updated, but rules can change suddenly and Visit Beyond cannot be held responsible for any errors or omissions.

17. FACTORS OUTSIDE VISIT BEYOND’S CONTROL (FORCE MAJEURE). Visit Beyond endeavors to conduct its operations safely. The company is aware of the risks of flooding, landslides and other natural disasters, especially during the annual rainy season; the company makes efforts to inform customers of any risky political situation that may arise in a destination country. Such information can be found at www.visitbeyond.com. However, Visit Beyond is not liable to customers in the event of injury, death, financial loss or any other damages incurred as a result of Force Majeure, e.g., political turmoil, riots, war, landslides, flooding, etc. Visit Beyond requires customers to carry insurance that covers such unforeseeable circumstances.

21. CLAIMS AND COMPLAINTS.In the event that a customer has a com-plaint against Visit Beyond, the customer must first file a complaint to the Tour Leader at the time the complaint arises.

If necessary, the guide will contact their manager. If the cus-tomer is still unsatisfied then the customer must file a written complaint to Visit Beyond at ‘customerservice@visitbeyond’ (or the appropriate address listed in section 33) within 15 days of the end of the tour. Visit Beyond will not accept any liability for claims received after this period.

22. SUPPLIERS’ TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Visit Beyond organizes trips and has contracts with agents and suppliers. Customers will be bound by agents’ and suppliers’ own terms and conditions. Visit Beyond may sup-ply copies of third-party conditions but makes no guarantee of doing so. The customer may not make the same claim and seek the same recovery against both Visit Beyond and its suppliers.

23. ACCEPTANCE OF RISK. Visit Beyond’s mission is to bring customers farther from the tourist trail than its competition. Visit Beyond trips are likely to offer circumstances that involve risks to the customer. By booking a tour with Visit Beyond, the customer acknowledges and accepts any and all risk associated with travel. The customer is strongly encouraged to contact and detail their travel plans to their embassy. The customer must purchase travel insurance (see section 18) and will not hold Visit Beyond liable for damages, injuries or death. Visit Beyond may require customers to sign a participation and waiver form as follows: “I understand that travel with Visit Beyond entails risks to my belongings and my person. I understand that this trip will take me to places with standards of hygiene and health care unlike those I am used to at home. I understand that the destination presents certain perils to my safety and wellbeing. I understand that I may be at considerable distance from health care facilities. I accept these risks and waive my right to hold Visit Beyond liable for any damages, injuries or death.”
