TRAVEL INSURANCE

Adequate insurance is mandatory for all Clients to cover at least but not limited to medical and repatriation expenses, loss of luggage, and cancellation or curtailment of a Product and should not exclude any planned adventure activities from the time of booking for the full duration of the Product as a minimum. A Client and his personal belongings are the sole responsibility of himself. DaRoute Travel accepts no liability on the Client`s behalf where DaRoute Travel has provided a Product of reasonable standard. Clients are fully responsible for arranging their insurance.

LIABILITY OF DaRoute Travel

DaRoute Travel Products and in particular, adventure activities, contain an element of risk to the personal safety of the Client that other package holidays may not contain. By accepting these Booking Conditions Clients are aware of the risks inherent in their chosen travel and Clients undertake such risks of their own volition. DaRoute Travel accepts no liability for Client`s damages where DaRoute Travel has fulfilled its Duty of Care to Clients by providing Products of a reasonable standard. DaRoute Travel accepts no liability if there has been no fault on the part of DaRoute Travel or its suppliers, and the reason for the claimed damages was either the Client`s fault or a result of unusual circumstances beyond the control of DaRoute Travel by force majeure and the consequences of which could not have been avoided even with all due care.

In respect of carriage by air, sea, and rail and the provision of accommodation, DaRoute Travel`s liability in the said cases will be limited in the manner provided by the relevant international conventions. DaRoute Travel accepts no liability if additional costs to the Client are incurred through delay, accident, or disruption of the Product(s) beyond the control of DaRoute Travel by force majeure.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION

It is the responsibility of the Clients to have a valid passport, visa permits, vaccinations, preventative medicines, and other medical certificates and all necessary travel documents. DaRoute Travel is not liable for damages arising from changes in regulations or laws to the necessary travel document requirements. Information about these matters is given in good faith by DaRoute Travel but without liability.

HEALTH AND CONDUCT

All Clients are expected to satisfy themselves before booking that they are fit and able to complete the itinerary of their chosen tour as described in the brochure. Any Clients with pre-existing medical conditions or illness must declare the true nature of such conditions at the time of booking, and make arrangements for the provision of any medication or other treatment which may be required during the tour. Such a client is required to provide a medical statement from a General Practitioner to confirm they are fit to travel. Failure to make such disclosure will constitute a breach of these booking conditions and relieve DaRoute Travel from any obligations and liability.

If in the opinion of such persons, the health or conduct of a Client before or after the departure appears likely to endanger the safe, comfortable, or happy progress of the tour, the Client may be excluded from all or part of the tour without prior notice or any liability on the part of DaRoute Travel. In the case of the Client’s ill health, DaRoute Travel may make such arrangements as it sees fit and recover the costs thereof from the Client. Passengers agree to comply with the laws and regulations of the countries they travel. DaRoute Travel shall not be liable to any Clients who commit illegal or unlawful acts whilst on tour.
