Substantial changes in tariffs, exchange rates and the price of fuel, services and labor sometimes increase the cost of expedition arrangements significantly, and we reserve the right to alter our prices accordingly. The payment of a deposit of any part or full payment for a reservation on this tour shall constitute consent to all the provisions contained herein. We can assume no liability due to any cause whatsoever whether caused by failure or delay or other irregularity, acts or omissions occurring during a tour under which the means of transportation or other service provided thereby is offered or supplied by owners, operators or public carriers for whom QEI, SEL, DOE and ZOE act only as agent. We reserve the right to cancel any tour prior to departure, in which case payment will be refunded without further obligation on our part. QEI, SEL, DOE and ZOE strongly urge individual passengers obtain appropriate insurance coverage.
Baggage is at the owner's risk entirely.
In case of a medical problem arising during the voyage, either on board or on shore, which results in costs for evacuation, use of aircraft or repatriation, the responsibility for payment of these costs belongs solely to the passenger. QEI, SEL, DOE and ZOE strongly advise that passengers ensure that such eventualities are covered by travel insurance. If not covered by travel insurance the responsibility still remains with the passenger and QEI, SEL, DOE and ZOE specifically decline any responsibility whatsoever. The transportation companies concerned are not to be held responsible for any act, omission or event during the time passengers are not aboard their carriers or conveyances. By accepting the ticket the passenger also agrees to its terms and conditions.
