Australia Booking Conditions

Please take the time to read and understand the conditions of booking set out below prior to booking a trip with us. We strongly recommend that you also read the Essential Trip Information relating to your trip prior to booking to ensure that you understand the itinerary, style and physical demands of the trip you are undertaking.

1. Our contract

All bookings are made with Intrepid Travel Pty Ltd (ABN 35 007 172 456) (us/we). By booking a trip with us you are deemed to have agreed to these Booking Conditions (which constitutes the entire agreement between you and us) and your booking will be accepted by us on this basis. The services to be provided are those referred to in your booking confirmation invoice.

2. Validity

Dates and itineraries are valid until 31 December 2020. Beyond 31 December 2020 dates and itineraries are indicative only.

3. Deposit requirement

You are required to pay a non-refundable deposit of $400 per person per trip for your booking to be confirmed. If your booking is made within 56 days of the departure date then the full amount is payable at the time of booking. Please note that different deposits amounts are required for selected trips including Polar and Adventure Cruising bookings.

4. Acceptance of booking and final payments

If we accept your booking we will issue a confirmation invoice. A contract will exist between us from the date we issue the confirmation invoice or if you book within 30 days of departure the contract will exist when we accept your payment. Please refer to your booking confirmation invoice for details regarding final payments. Payment of the balance of the trip price is due 56 days before the departure date. Please note that full payment is required earlier for Polar and Adventure Cruising bookings. If this balance is not paid on or before the due date we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled.

5. Prices & surcharges

Our trip prices are subject to variable and seasonal pricing, both of which are standard practice within the travel industry. This means our trip prices may vary at any time in accordance with demand, market conditions and availability. It is likely that different passengers on the same trip have been charged different prices. Your best option if you like the price you see is to book at that time. Any reduced pricing or discounts that may become available after you have paid your deposit will not apply. If you wish to cancel your booking to take advantage of a cheaper price, full cancellation conditions apply. The most up to date pricing is available on our website. Prices are based on currency exchange rates as of June 2019; note that prices may vary depending on which currency the booking is made. We reserve the right to impose surcharges up to 56 days before departure due to unfavorable changes in exchange rates, increases in airfares or other transportation costs, increases in local operator costs, taxes, or if government action should require us to do so. In such instances we will be responsible for any amount up to 2% of the trip price and you will be responsible for the balance. If any surcharge results in an increase of more than 10% of the trip price you may cancel the booking within 14 days of notification of the surcharge and obtain a full refund. Air Passenger Duty is included in the price of your air inclusive trip. Please note that a surcharge may be applied to all purchases made by credit card.

6. Your details

In order for us to confirm your travel arrangements, you must provide all requested details with the balance of the trip price. Necessary details vary by trip; they include but are not limited to full name as per passport, date of birth, nationality, passport number, passport issue and expiry date and any pre-existing medical conditions you have which may affect your ability to complete your travel arrangements. On some more demanding trips we also require you to complete and forward a Self-Assessment form. Failure to provide requested details may result in additional charges or non-refundable cancellation of your trip.

7. Cancellation by the traveller

If you cancel some or all portions of your booking cancellation fees will apply. A cancellation will only be effective when we receive written confirmation of the cancellation. If you cancel a trip:

56 days or more prior to departure, we will retain the deposit;
between 31 and 55 days prior to departure, we will retain the deposit or 50% of the total booking cost;

whichever is greater, and

30 days or less prior to departure, we will retain 100% paid by you in connection with the booking.

Note that different cancellation conditions including higher charges apply to some styles of trips and additional services including Polar and Adventure Cruising bookings. Your booking consultant will advise if differences apply and details can be found in the Essential Trip Information relating to your trip. You are strongly advised to take out cancellation insurance at the time of booking which will cover cancellation fees. If you leave a trip for any reason after it has commenced we are not obliged to make any refunds for unused services. If you fail to join a tour, join it after departure, or leave it prior to its completion, no refund will be made. The above cancellation fees are in addition to fees which may be levied by accommodation providers, travel agents or third party tour and transport operator fees.

8. Cancellation by us

Our trips are guaranteed to depart once they have one fully paid traveller unless minimum group size specifically states otherwise. We may cancel a trip at any time prior to departure if, due to terrorism, natural disasters, political instability or other external events it is not viable for us to operate the planned itinerary. If we cancel your trip, you can transfer amounts paid to an alternate departure date or receive a full refund. In circumstances where the cancellation is due to external events outside our reasonable control refunds will be less any unrecoverable costs. We are not responsible for any incidental expenses that you may have incurred as a result of your booking including but not limited to visas, vaccinations, travel insurance excess or non-refundable flights.

9. Booking amendments

If you wish to transfer from one trip to another or transfer your booking to a third party you must notify us at least 56 days prior to the proposed departure date. A fee of $200 per person per change will apply (in addition to any charges levied by hotels, ground operators or airlines). If you notify us less than 56 days prior to the proposed departure date the refund policy applicable to cancellations will apply. Transfers to a third party are only permitted where the transferee meets all the requirements in relation to the trip, and transfers to another departure can only be made to a departure within the current validity period.

Amendments to any other arrangements made in conjunction with your trip will incur an $130 administration fee per booking per change. This fee is in addition to any charges levied by hotels, ground operators or airlines. No amendments are permitted to your booking within 10 days of departure.

10. Inclusions

The land price of your trip includes:

all accommodation as listed in the Essential Trip Information
all transport listed in the Essential Trip Information
sightseeing and meals as listed in the Essential Trip Information
the services of a group leader as described in the Essential Trip Information

11. Exclusions

The land price of your trip does not include:

international or internal flights unless specified
airport transfers, taxes and excess baggage charges unless specified

Visa and passport fees
travel insurance
Optional activities and all personal expenses.

12. Age & Health requirements

Minimum Age:

For the majority of our trips, the minimum age is 15 at the time of travel. All travellers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian, or in lieu of a legal guardian, by an escort over the age of 18, appointed by their legal guardian. The legal guardian or their designee will be responsible for the traveller under the age of 18’s day to day care. If a legal guardian elects to designate an escort in their lieu, they will be required to complete and sign a relevant document, to delegate their authority.

Please note we cannot guarantee triple or adjoining rooms for families; accompanying adults may be required to share with others in the group on a twin share basis.

Variations: A minimum age of 18 applies to many Overland adventures, while a lower minimum age applies to Family trips and Short Break Adventures. Please check with your consultant at the time of enquiry. All bookings for our Family trips must include a child under the age of 18.

Maximum Age:

For the majority of our trips, we have no upper age limit though we remind you that our trips can be physically demanding and passengers must ensure that they are suitably fit to allow full participation. We are able to provide details on mandatory health requirements; however, we are not medical experts. It is your responsibility to ensure that you obtain proper and detailed medical advice at least two months prior to travel for the latest health requirements and recommendations for your destination. You must be older than 18 years and younger than 30 years on day 1 of your trip to travel on our 18 to 29s Adventures.

13. Small groups & combination trips

At times we can have groups with small numbers of travellers. Many of our trips are designed to fit with other departures to create a longer "combination" trip; this means that some of your group may have already been travelling together for some weeks when you commence your trip. If you would like to know how many people are booked on your trip or any combination trip it is part of please ask prior to making your booking.

14. Passport and visas

You must carry a valid passport and have obtained all of the appropriate visas, permits and certificates for the countries which you will visit during your trip. Your passport must be valid for 6 months beyond the duration of the trip. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in possession of the correct visas, permits and certificates for your trip; please refer to the Essential Trip Information for details. We are not responsible if you are refused entry to a country because you lack the correct passport, visa or other travel documentation.

15. Travel insurance

Travel insurance is mandatory for all our travellers and should be taken out at the time of booking. Your travel insurance must provide cover against personal accident, death, medical expenses and emergency repatriation with a recommended minimum coverage of US$200,000 for each of the categories of cover. We also strongly recommend it covers cancellation, curtailment, personal liability and loss of luggage and personal effects. You must provide your travel insurance policy number and the insurance company's 24 hour emergency contact number on the first day of your trip; you will not be able to join the trip without these details. If you have travel insurance connected to your credit card or bank account please ensure you have details of the participating insurer, the insurance policy number and emergency contact number with you rather than the bank's name and credit card details.

16. Flexibility

You appreciate and acknowledge that the nature of this type of travel requires considerable flexibility and you should allow for alternatives. The itinerary provided for each trip is representative of the types of activities contemplated, but it is understood that the route, schedules, itineraries, amenities and mode of transport may be subject to alteration without prior notice due to local circumstances or events.

17. Change of itinerary

While we endeavour to operate all trips as described we reserve the right to change the trip itinerary. Please refer to our website before departure for the most recent updates to your itinerary.

before departure: If we make a major change we will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before departure. The definition of a major change is deemed to be a change affecting at least one day in five of the itinerary. When a major change is made you may choose between accepting the change, obtaining a refund of money paid on the land portion of the trip only or accepting an alternative tour offered.

after departure: We reserve the right to change an itinerary after departure due to local circumstances or events outside of our control. In such emergency circumstances, the additional cost of any necessary itinerary alterations will be covered by you. Please note we are not responsible for any incidental expenses that may be incurred as a result of the change of itineraries such as visas, vaccinations or non-refundable flights.

18. Authority on tour

Our group trips are run by a group leader. The decision of the group leader is final on all matters likely to affect the safety or well-being of any traveller or staff member participating in the trip. If you fail to comply with a decision made by a group leader, or interfere with the well-being or mobility of the group, the group leader may direct you to leave the trip immediately, with no right of refund. We may also elect not to carry you on any future trips booked. You must at all times comply with the laws, customs, foreign exchange and drug regulations of all countries visited, and you also agree to travel in accordance with our responsible travel guidelines.

19. Acceptance of risk

You acknowledge that the nature of the trip is adventurous and participation involves a degree of personal risk. You will be visiting places where the political, cultural and geographical attributes present dangers and physical challenges greater than those present in our daily lives. We use information from government foreign departments and reports from our own contacts in assessing whether the itinerary should operate. However it is also your own responsibility to acquaint yourself with all relevant travel information and the nature of your itinerary. You acknowledge that your decision to travel is made in light of consideration of this information and you accept that you are aware of the personal risks attendant upon such travel.

20. Limitation of liability

We contract with a network of companies, government agencies and individuals to assist in the running of our trips as agent for these third parties. We are not responsible for the acts and omissions of these third parties.

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

- any liability for any loss, death, injury or damage which you may suffer (directly or indirectly) in connection with or arising out of your participation in a trip, or any breach of the Booking Conditions, is excluded;

- you release us and our officers, employees, agents and representatives from any liability and expressly waive any claims you may have against us arising out of or in connection with your participation in a trip; and

- any condition or warranty which would otherwise be implied by law into these Booking Conditions (Implied Warranty), is excluded.

To the extent an Implied Warranty cannot be excluded, our liability in respect of the Implied Warranty is limited to (in our absolute discretion): (i) the provision of a similar trip to an equivalent value; or (ii) a refund of the total amount received by us from you in connection with your booking.

Any claim by you is excluded to the extent that it is for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profits or economic loss, however it arises, or for indirect, special, punitive or exemplary damages.

21. Optional activities

Optional activities not included in the trip price do not form part of the trip or this contract. You accept that any assistance given by your group leader or local representative in arranging optional activities does not render us liable for them in any way. The contract for the provision of that activity will be between you and the activity provider.

22. Claims & complaints

If you have a complaint about your trip please inform your group leader or our local representative at the time in order that they can attempt to rectify the matter. If satisfaction is not reached through these means then any further complaint should be put in writing to us within 30 days of the end of the tour.

23. Severability

In the event that any term or condition contained in these Booking Conditions is unenforceable or void by operation of law or as being against public policy or for any other reason then such term or condition shall be deemed to be severed from this contract or amended accordingly only to such extent necessary to allow all remaining terms and conditions to survive and continue as binding.

24. Photos and marketing

You consent to us using images of you taken during the trip for advertising and promotional purposes in any medium we choose. You grant us a perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide, irrevocable licence to use such images for publicity and promotional purposes.

3. Deposit requirement

You are required to pay a non-refundable deposit of £200 per person per trip for your booking to be confirmed. If your booking is made within 56 days of the departure date then the full amount is payable at the time of booking.

5. Prices & surcharges

Our advertised trip prices are subject to variable and seasonal pricing, both of which are standard practice within the travel industry. This means our trip prices may vary at any time in accordance with demand, market conditions and availability. It is likely that different passengers on the same trip have been charged different prices. Your best option if you like the price you see is to book at that time. Once you have received a quote the price will be locked in provided you pay the required deposit prior to the quote’s expiry.

Should the cost of your trip decrease due to the changes mentioned above then any refund due will be paid to you less an administration fee of £10. Please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the cost of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place.

Air Passenger Duty is included in the price of your air inclusive trip.

This clause 7 outlines the rights you have if you wish to cancel your booking. Please note that there is no automatic statutory right of cancellation under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (Directive 2011/83/EU).

8. Cancellation by us

Our trips are guaranteed to depart once they have one fully paid traveller unless minimum group size specifically states otherwise (which will be stated in your Essential Trip Information). We may also cancel a trip at any time prior to departure if, due to terrorism, natural disasters, political instability or other external events beyond our control it is not viable for us to operate the planned itinerary.

If we have to cancel your trip, we will tell you as soon as possible and if there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of: if available and where we offer one, accepting an offer of an alternative holiday (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value) or having a refund of monies paid.

We will tell you the procedure for making your choice. Please read any notification carefully and respond promptly as if you do not respond to us within the timescale given your booking may be cancelled. If you choose to accept a refund: a. we will provide a full refund of your travel insurance premiums if you paid them to us and can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy; b. we will pay reasonable compensation except where the cancellation is due to unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances, which means a situation beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken.

We are not responsible for any incidental expenses that you may have incurred as a result of your booking including but not limited to visas, vaccinations, travel insurance excess or non-refundable flights.

9. Booking amendments and transfers of bookings

If you wish to transfer from one trip to another you must notify us at least 56 days prior to the proposed departure date. A fee of £125 per person per change will apply (in addition to any charges levied by hotels, ground operators or airlines). If you notify us less than 56 days prior to the proposed departure date the refund policy applicable to cancellations will apply. Transfers to another departure can only be made to a departure within the current validity period.

If you or any member of your party is prevented from travelling, that person(s) may transfer their place to someone else, subject to the following conditions:

that person is introduced by you and satisfies all the conditions applicable to the holiday;
we are notified not less than 7 days before departure;
you pay any outstanding balance payment, an amendment fee of £125 per person transferring, as well as any additional fees, charges or other costs arising from the transfer; and
the transferee agrees to these booking conditions and all other terms of the contract between us.

You and the transferee remain jointly and severally liable for payment of all sums. If you are unable to find a replacement, cancellation charges as set out in clause 7 will apply in order to cover our estimated costs. Otherwise, no refunds will be given for passengers not travelling or for unused services.

Amendments to any other arrangements made in conjunction with your trip will incur a £75 administration fee per booking per change. This fee is in addition to any charges levied by hotels, ground operators or airlines. No amendments are permitted to your booking within 10 days of departure.

Important Note: Certain arrangements may not be amended or transferred after they have been confirmed and any alteration could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements.

Travel insurance is mandatory for all our travellers and should be taken out at the time of booking. Your travel insurance must provide cover against personal accident, death, medical expenses and emergency repatriation with a recommended minimum coverage of US$200,000 for each of the categories of cover. We also strongly recommend it covers cancellation, curtailment, personal liability and loss of luggage and personal effects. You must provide your travel insurance policy number and the insurance company's 24-hour emergency contact number on the first day of your trip; you will not be able to join the trip without these details. If you have travel insurance connected to your credit card or bank account please ensure you have details of the participating insurer, the insurance policy number and emergency contact number with you rather than the bank's name and credit card details.

16. Flexibility

17. Change of itinerary

While we endeavour to operate all trips as described we reserve the right to change the trip itinerary. Please refer to our website before departure for the most recent updates to your itinerary.

Before departure: If we make a significant change we will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before departure. The definition of a significant change is deemed to be a change affecting at least one day in five of the itinerary. When a significant change is made you may choose between accepting the changed tour; accepting an alternative tour if available and if offered by us (we will refund any price difference if the alternative tour is of a lower value), or having a refund of monies paid.

After departure: We reserve the right to change an itinerary after departure due to local circumstances or events outside of our control. Where this occurs we will, if possible, make alternative arrangements for you at no extra charge. Please note we are not responsible for any incidental expenses that may be incurred as a result of the change of itineraries such as visas, vaccinations or non-refundable flights.

18. Authority on tour

Our group trips are run by a group leader. The decision of the group leader is final on all matters likely to affect the safety or well-being of any traveller or staff member participating in the trip. If you fail to comply with a decision made by a group leader or interfere with the well-being or mobility of the group, the group leader may direct you to leave the trip immediately, with no right of refund. We may also elect not to carry you on any future trips booked. You must at all times comply with the laws, customs, foreign exchange and drug regulations of all countries visited, and you also agree to travel in accordance with our responsible travel guidelines.

19. Acceptance of risk

You acknowledge that the nature of the trip is adventurous and participation involves a degree of personal risk. You will be visiting places where the political, cultural and geographical attributes present dangers and physical challenges greater than those present in our daily lives. We use information from government foreign departments and reports from our own contacts in assessing whether the itinerary should operate. However, it is also your own responsibility to acquaint yourself with all relevant travel information and the nature of your itinerary. You acknowledge that your decision to travel is made in light of consideration of this information and you accept that you are aware of the personal risks attendant upon such travel.

20. Limitation of liability

We will accept responsibility for the arrangements we agree to provide or arrange for you as an “organiser” under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018, as set out below and as such, we are responsible for the proper provision of all travel services included in your package, as set out in your confirmation invoice. Subject to these Booking Conditions, if we or our suppliers negligently perform or arrange those services and we don’t remedy or resolve your complaint within a reasonable period of time, and this has affected the enjoyment of your package holiday you may be entitled to an appropriate price reduction or compensation or both. You must inform us without undue delay of any failure to perform or improper performance of the travel services included in this package. The level of any such price reduction or compensation will be calculated taking into consideration all relevant factors such as but not limited to: following the complaints procedure as described in these Booking Conditions and the extent to which ours or our employees’ or suppliers’ negligence affected the overall enjoyment of your holiday. Please note that it is your responsibility to show that we or our supplier(s) have been negligent if you wish to make a claim against us.
we shall not be liable for any damage or loss if the failure to carry out the contract is:

attributable to you.
attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the services contracted for and the event is unforeseeable or unavoidable.
due to unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had to be exercised.
Force Majeure (see clause 29).

We limit the amount of compensation we may have to pay you if we are found liable under this clause 20 as follows:

loss of and/or damage to any luggage or personal possessions and money: the maximum amount we will have to pay you in respect of these claims is an amount equivalent to the excess on your insurance policy which applies to this type of loss per person in total because you are required to have adequate insurance in place to cover any losses of this kind.
Claims not falling under (a) above and which don’t involve injury, illness or death: the maximum amount we will have to pay you in respect of these claims is up to three times the price paid by or on behalf of the person(s) affected in total. This maximum amount will only be payable where everything has gone wrong and you or your party has not received any benefit at all from your booking.
Where your trip arrangements involve travel by air, rail or sea, or hotel accommodation: the compensation is limited by the following international conventions respectively: Warsaw Convention as amended 1955 and Montreal Convention 1999 (travel by air), Berne Convention 1961 and COTIF 1999 (travel by rail) Athens Convention 1974 (travel by sea) and Paris Convention 1962 (provision of accommodation). We are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of right to claim or compensation contained in these or any conventions. You can ask for copies of these conventions from our offices. Please contact us. In addition, you agree that the operating carrier or transport company's own 'Conditions of Carriage' will apply to you on that journey. When arranging transportation for you, we rely on the terms and conditions contained within these international conventions and those 'Conditions of Carriage'. You acknowledge that all of the terms and conditions contained in those 'Conditions of Carriage' form part of your contract with us, as well as with the transport company and that those 'Conditions of Carriage' shall be deemed to be included by reference into this contract. In any circumstances in which a carrier is liable to you by virtue of EC 261/2004 (denied boarding and flight disruption), any liability we may have to you under our contract with you, arising out of the same facts, is limited to the remedies provided under the Regulation as if (for this purpose only) we were a carrier. When making any payment, we are entitled to deduct any money which you have received or are entitled to receive from the transport provider or hotelier for the complaint or claim in question.

Except in cases involving death, injury or illness, any liability covered under clause b. above is limited to3 times the price paid. In the case of damaged property the liability is limited to a maximum amount equal to the amount paid by or on behalf of the owner of the property. In all cases the Company specifically excludes all liability for indirect or consequential loss or expense including loss of profits and in all cases our liability will be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to the contractual terms of the companies that provide the transportation for your travel arrangements.
our acceptance of liability in this clause is subject to assignment by you of your rights against any agent, supplier or sub-contractor which is in any way responsible for the unsatisfactory arrangements or your death or personal injury and you must provide us and our insurers with all assistance we may reasonably require.
It is a condition of our acceptance of liability under this clause that you notify any claim to us and our supplier(s) strictly in accordance with the complaints procedure set out in these Booking Conditions.
Please note, we cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss or expense or other sum(s) of any description: (i) which on the basis of the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to our accepting it, we could not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached our contract with you; (ii) relate to any business, (iii) indirect or consequential loss of any kind.
Where it is impossible for you to return to your departure point as per the agreed return date of your package, due to “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances”, we shall provide you with any necessary accommodation (where possible, of a comparable standard) for a period not exceeding three nights per person. Please note that the 3-nightcap does not apply to persons with reduced mobility, pregnant women or unaccompanied minors, nor to persons needing specific medical assistance, provided we have been notified of these particular needs at least 48 hours before the start of your holiday. For the purposes of this clause, “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” mean warfare, acts of terrorism, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely back to your departure point.
Flight Notice, Flight Information and EU Blacklist.

This is a notice required by European Community Regulation (EC) No.889/2002.This notice cannot be used as a basis for a claim for compensation, nor to interpret the provisions of the Regulation or the Montréal Convention, and it does not form part of the contract between the carrier(s), us and you, nor part of a claim. No representation is made by the carrier(s) or us as to the accuracy of the contents of this notice.

Air carrier liability for passengers and their baggage:

This information notice summarises the liability rules applied by Community air carriers as required by Community legislation and the Montréal Convention.

Compensation in the case of death or injury: There are no financial limits to the liability for passenger injury or death. For damages, up to 100,000 SDRs (approximately £80,000 / €120,000), the air carrier cannot contest claims for compensation. Above that amount, the air carrier can defend itself against a claim by proving that it was not negligent or otherwise at fault.

Advance payments: If a passenger is killed or injured, the air carrier must make an advance payment, to cover immediate economic needs, within 15 days from the identification of the person entitled to compensation. In the event of death, this advance payment shall not be less than 16000 SDRs (approximately £13,000 /€19,300).

Passenger delays: In case of passenger delay, the air carrier is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for passenger delay is limited to 4150 SDRs (approximately £3,300 / €5,000).

Baggage delays: In case of baggage delay, the air carrier is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for baggage delay is limited to 1000 SDRs (approximately £800/€1,200).

Destruction, loss or damage to baggage: The air carrier is liable for destruction, loss or damage to baggage up to 1000 SDRs (approximately £800) In the case of checked baggage, it is liable even if not at fault unless the baggage was defective. In the case of unchecked baggage, the carrier is liable only if at fault.

Higher limits for baggage: A passenger can benefit from a higher liability limit by making a special declaration at the latest at check-in and by paying a supplementary fee.

Complaints on baggage: If the baggage is damaged, delayed, lost or destroyed, the passenger must write and complain to the air carrier as soon as possible. In the case of damage to checked baggage, the passenger must write and complain within seven days, and in the case of delay within 21 days, in both cases from the date on which the baggage was placed at the passenger’s disposal.

Liability of contracting and actual carriers: If the air carrier actually performing the flight is not the same as the contracting air carrier, the passenger has the right to address a complaint or to make a claim for damages against either. If the name or code of an air carrier is indicated on the ticket, that air carrier is the contracting air carrier.

The time limit for action: Any action in court to claim damages must be brought within two years from the date of arrival of the aircraft, or from the date on which the aircraft ought to have arrived.

The basis for the information. The basis for the rules described above is the Montreal Convention of 28 May 1999, which is implemented in the Community by Regulation (EC) No. 2027/97 (as amended by Regulation (EC) No. 889/2002) and national legislation of the Member States.

In accordance with EU directive (EC) no. 2111/2005, Article 9, we are required to bring to your attention the existence of a ‘Community list’ which contains details of air carriers that are subject to an operating ban within the EU Community. The Community list is available for inspection at www.air-ban.europa.eu. In accordance with EU Regulation 2111/2005 we are required to advise you of the actual carrier operating your flight/connecting flight/transfer. We do this by listing carriers to be used or likely to be used on our confirming documents. The airline may use wide and narrow-body jets. Any changes to the actual airline after you have received your tickets will be notified to you as soon as possible and in all cases at check-in or at the boarding gate.

21. Optional activities

22. Claims & complaints

If you have a complaint about your trip you must inform your group leader or our local representative at the time in order that they can attempt to rectify the matter. If satisfaction is not reached through these means then any further complaint should be put in writing to us within 30 days of the end of the tour. Failure to follow the procedure set out in this clause may affect ours and the applicable supplier’s ability to investigate your complaint, and will affect your rights under this contract. If we can’t resolve your complaint, you can go to www.abta.com to use ABTA’s simple alternative dispute resolution procedure. You can also access the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. This ODR platform is a means of registering your complaint with us; it will not determine how your complaint should be resolved.

23. Severability

24. Photos and marketing

25. Privacy policy

We will treat your personal data in accordance with our privacy policy, to which the provisions of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulations apply. For more details of how we manage and protect data, including the rights of our travellers, please refer to our privacy policy which is accessible via our website www.intrepidtravel.com.

Advance Passenger Information: A number of Governments are introducing new requirements for air carriers to provide personal information about all travellers on their aircraft to the Authorities before the aircraft leaves the UK. The data will be collected either at the airport when you check in or in some circumstances when, or after you make your booking. Accordingly, you are advised to allow extra time to check in for your flight. Where we collect this data, we will treat it in accordance with our privacy policy.

26. Financial protection

The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018require us to provide security for the monies that you pay for the package holidays booked from us and for your repatriation in the event of our insolvency.

We provide you with financial protection for any flight-inclusive package or flight that you buy from us by way of our Air Travel Organiser’s Licence (ATOL) number 6352 administered by the Civil Aviation Authority Gatwick Airport South, West Sussex, RH6 0YR, UK, telephone 0333 103 6350, email: claims@caa.co.uk (‘CAA’). When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. For further information, visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk. The price of our flight inclusive arrangements includes the amount of £2.50 per person as part of the ATOL Protection Contribution (APC) we pay to the CAA. This charge is included in our advertised prices. Not all holiday or travel services offered and sold by us will be protected by the ATOL Scheme. ATOL protection extends primarily to customers who book and pay in the United Kingdom.

We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate, will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable).

If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have to arise out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme.

When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday, all money accepted from you by a travel agent acting as our agent is held by that agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust at all times, but subject to the agent’s obligation to pay it to us for so long as we do not fail. If we do fail, any money held at that time by the agent, or subsequently accepted from you by the agent, is and continues to be held by that agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust without any obligation to pay that money to us.

When you buy arrangements other than an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday, all money accepted from you by a travel agent acting as our agent is held by that agent on our behalf at all times.

We will provide you with financial protection for any package holidays you buy from us that do not include flights by way of a bond held by ABTA Ltd, The Travel Association 30 Park Street London SE1 9EQ. For further information, visit the ABTA website at www.abta.com.

If you book arrangements other than an ATOL protected flight or a package holiday, the financial protection referred to above does not apply.

27. ABTA

We are a Member of ABTA, membership number Y0766. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We can also offer you ABTA’s scheme for the resolution of disputes which is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute. If we can’t resolve your complaint, go to www.abta.com to use ABTA’s simple procedure. Further information on the Code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www.abta.com.

28. Delays and missed transport arrangements

If you or any member of your party miss your flight or another transport arrangement, it is cancelled or you are subject to a delay of over 3 hours for any reason, you must contact us and the airline or other transport supplier concerned immediately.

Under EU Law, you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from the airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicised at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. If the airline does not comply with these rules you should complain to the Civil Aviation Authority at www.caa.co.uk/passengers. Reimbursement in such cases is the responsibility of the airline and will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday price from us. If for any reason, you do not claim against the airline and make a claim for compensation from us, you must, at the time of payment of any compensation to you, make a complete assignment to us of the rights you have against the airline in relation to the claim that gives rise to that compensation payment. A delay or cancellation to your flight does not automatically entitle you to cancel any other arrangements even where those arrangements have been made in conjunction with your flight.

We cannot accept liability for any delay which is due to any of the reasons set out in clause 29 of these Booking Conditions (which includes the behaviour of any passenger(s) on any flight who, for example, fails to check in or board on time).

29. Force majeure

Except where otherwise expressly stated in these Booking Conditions we will not be liable or pay you compensation if our contractual obligations to you are affected by “Force Majeure”. For the purposes of these Booking Conditions, Force Majeure means any event beyond our or our supplier’s control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Examples include warfare and acts of terrorism (and threat thereof), civil strife, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the travel destination or remain at the travel destination, any event which we or the supplier(s) of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. These events can include, but are not limited to war, threat of war, civil strife terrorist activity and its consequences or the threat of such activity, riot, the act of any government or other national or local authority including port or river authorities, industrial dispute, labour strikes, lock closure, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, chemical or biological disaster, and adverse weather conditions, epidemics and pandemics, unavoidable technical problems with transport and all similar events outside our or the supplier(s) concerned’s control. Advice from the Foreign Office to avoid or leave a particular country may constitute Force Majeure.

30. Prompt assistance

If, whilst you are on the tour, you find yourself in difficulty for any reason, we will offer you such prompt assistance as is appropriate in the circumstances. In particular, we will provide you with appropriate information on health services, local authorities and consular assistance, and assistance with distance communications and finding alternative travel arrangements. Where you require the assistance which is not owing to any failure by us, our employees or sub-contractors we will not be liable for the costs of any alternative travel arrangements or other such assistance you require. Any supplier, airline or another transport supplier may, however, pay for or provide refreshments and/or appropriate accommodation and you should make a claim directly to them. Subject to the other terms of these Booking Conditions, we will not be liable for any costs, fees or charges you incur in the above circumstances if you fail to obtain our prior authorisation before making your own travel arrangements. Furthermore, we reserve the right to charge you a fee for our assistance in the event that the difficulty is caused intentionally by you or a member of your party, or otherwise through your or your party’s negligence.

31. Applicable law

The laws of the United Kingdom govern these Booking Conditions to the fullest extent allowable. Any disputes in connection with a trip or these Booking Conditions must be initiated in the courts of the United Kingdom.

If any surcharge results in an increase of more than 10% of the trip price you may cancel the booking within 14 days of notification of the surcharge and obtain a full refund. Should the cost of your trip decrease by more than 2% due to the changes mentioned above then any refund due will be paid to you?

Germany Booking Conditions

Die nachfolgenden Allgemeinen Reisebedingungen (ARB) werden, soweit wirksam vereinbart, Inhalt des zwischen dem Kunden (=Reisender) und dem Reiseveranstalter Intrepid Travel GmbH (nachfolgend INTREPID genannt) zu Stande kommenden Pauschalreisevertrages. Die ARB ergänzen die gesetzlichen Vorschriften der §§ 651a ff. BGB und der Artikel 250 und 252 des EGBGB und füllen diese aus. Bei Buchung einer Pauschalreise ist Vertragspartner des Reiseveranstalters der Reisende – hierbei ist es unerheblich, ob der Reisende die Pauschalreise selbst in Anspruch nimmt oder er den Vertrag für einen anderen Reiseteilnehmer schließt.

Diese ARB gelten ausdrücklich nicht, wenn der Reisende keine Pauschalreise i.S. der §§ 651a ff. BGB, sondern lediglich einzelne Reiseleistungen (z.B. Nur-Hotel, Mietwagen) von INTREPID bucht. Dies gilt auch dann, sofern dem Reisenden für die einzelne Reiseleistung ein Sicherungsschein zur Absicherung des bezahlten Reisepreises ausgehändigt oder soweit INTREPID ausdrücklich als Reisevermittler einer einzelnen Reiseleistung oder einer verbundenen Reiseleistungen gem. § 651w BGB tätig wird und den Reisenden vor Buchung gesondert und unmissverständlich darauf hinweist.

Diese ARB gelten ferner nicht für Verträge über Reisen, soweit der Reisende ein Unternehmer ist, mit dem INTREPID einen Rahmenvertrag für die Organisation von Geschäftsreisen gem. § 651a Abs. 5 lit. 3 BGB für die unternehmerische Zwecke des Reisenden geschlossen hat.

1. Abschluss des Pauschalreisevertrages

1.1 Für alle Buchungswege gilt:

a) Grundlage dieses Angebots ist die Reiseausschreibung von INTREPID nebst ergänzenden Informationen von INTREPID für die jeweilige Reise („Trip-Notes“), sowie sonstiger Medien von INTREPID, soweit diese dem Reisenden bei Buchung vorliegen.

b) Der Reisende hat für alle Vertragsverpflichtungen von Mitreisenden, für die er die Buchung vornimmt, wie für seine eigenen einzustehen, soweit er diese Verpflichtung durch ausdrückliche und gesonderte Erklärung übernommen hat.

c) Weicht die Reisebestätigung inhaltlich von der Reiseanmeldung ab, so gilt diese Reisebestätigung als ein neues Angebot, an das INTREPID für die Dauer von zehn Tagen gebunden ist. Der Vertrag kommt auf der Grundlage dieses neuen Angebotes zustande, sofern INTREPID auf die Änderung hingewiesen hat und diesbezüglich seine vorvertraglichen Informationspflichten erfüllt hat und der Reisende innerhalb der Bindungsfrist INTREPID gegenüber die Annahme ausdrücklich oder schlüssig durch (An-) Zahlung des Reisepreises erklärt.

1.2 Für eine Buchung, die nicht im elektronischen Geschäftsverkehr (z.B. im Internet) gebucht wird, gilt:

a) Durch die Reiseanmeldung (Buchung) bietet der Reisende INTREPID den Abschluss des Pauschalreisevertrages für die angegebenen Personen verbindlich an. INTREPID empfiehlt die Buchung mit dem dafür vorgesehenen Buchungsformular.

b) Der Vertrag kommt mit Zugang der Reisebestätigung (Annahmeerklärung) von INTREPID zustande. Bei oder unverzüglich nach Vertragsschluss wird INTREPID dem Reisenden eine Reisebestätigung auf einem dauerhaften Datenträger übermitteln. Sofern der Vertragsschluss bei gleichzeitiger körperlicher Anwesenheit erfolgt, hat der

Reisende einen Anspruch auf eine Reisebestätigung in Papierform; gleiches gilt bei einem Vertragsschluss außerhalb von Geschäftsräumen.

1.3. Für eine Buchung, die im elektronischen Geschäftsverkehr (z.B. im Internet) gebucht wird, gilt:

a) Dem Reisenden wird der Ablauf der Onlinebuchung im entsprechenden Internetauftritt erläutert.

b) Dem Reisenden steht zur Korrektur seiner Eingaben, zur Löschung oder zum Zurücksetzen des gesamten Onlinebuchungsformulars eine entsprechende Korrekturmöglichkeit zur Verfügung, deren Nutzung erläutert wird.

c) Die zur Durchführung der Onlinebuchung angebotenen Vertragssprachen sind angegeben.

d) Soweit der Vertragstext von INTREPID gespeichert wird, wird der Reisende darüber und über die Möglichkeit zum späteren Abruf des Vertragstextes unterrichtet.

e) Mit Betätigung des Buttons bzw. der Schaltfläche „KOSTENPFLICHTIG BUCHEN“ bietet der Reisende Reiseveranstalter den Abschluss des Reisevertrages verbindlich an.

f) Dem Reisenden wird der Eingang seiner Buchung (Reiseanmeldung) unverzüglich auf elektronischem Weg bestätigt (Eingangsbestätigung).

g) Die Übermittlung der Buchung (Reiseanmeldung) durch Betätigung des Buttons „KOSTENPFLICHTIG BUCHEN" begründet keinen Anspruch des Reisenden auf das Zustandekommen eines Pauschalreisevertrages mit INTREPID entsprechend seiner Buchung (Reiseanmeldung). Der Pauschalreisevertrag kommt erst durch den Zugang der Reisebestätigung von INTREPID beim Reisenden zu Stande, die auf einem dauerhaften Datenträger erfolgt.

h) Erfolgt die Buchungsbestätigung sofort nach Betätigung des Buttons „KOSTENPFLICHTIG BUCHEN“ durch entsprechende unmittelbare Darstellung der Buchungsbestätigung am Bildschirm, so kommt der Pauschalreisevertrag mit Darstellung dieser Buchungsbestätigung zu Stande, ohne dass es einer Zwischenmitteilung über den Eingang der Buchung gem. lit. f) bedarf. In diesem Fall wird dem Reisenden die Möglichkeit zur Speicherung auf einem dauerhaften Datenträger und zum Ausdruck der Reisebestätigung angeboten. Die Verbindlichkeit des Pauschalreisevertrages ist jedoch nicht davon abhängig, dass der Reisende diese Möglichkeiten zur Speicherung oder zum Ausdruck tatsächlich nutzt.

1.4 INTREPID weist darauf hin, dass Buchungen von Pauschalreisen im Fernabsatz (z.B. telefonisch, per E-Mail) nicht nach den §§ 312 Abs. 7, 312g Abs. 2 Satz 1 Nr. 9 BGB widerrufen werden können. Ein Widerrufsrecht besteht jedoch dann, wenn der Vertrag über die Pauschalreise zwischen INTREPID und dem Reisenden, der Verbraucher ist, außerhalb von Geschäftsräumen geschlossen worden ist, es sei denn, die mündlichen Verhandlungen, auf denen der Vertragsschluss beruht, sind auf vorhergehende Bestellung des Verbrauchers geführt worden.

2. Bezahlung

2.1 Nach Vertragsschluss wird eine Anzahlung in Höhe von 20 % des Reisepreises fällig, sofern der Sicherungsschein gemäß § 651r Abs. 4 Satz 1 BGB, Art. 252 EGBGB an den Reisenden in Textform übermittelt wurde. Bei Pauschalreisen, die auf tagesaktuellen Preisen basieren, mit Frühbucherrabatten versehen sind, als „Special-Deals“ o.ä. bezeichnet sind oder besonders gekennzeichneten Reisen und die aufgrund restriktiver Einkaufskonditionen durch INTREPID bei seinen Leistungsträgern besondere Zahlungsbedingungen haben, ist INTREPID berechtigt, eine höhere Anzahlung zu verlangen. Hierüber wird der Reisende von INTREPID vor Buchungsabschluss in einer nach Art. 250 § 3 EGBGB und in der Reisebestätigung in einer nach Art. 250 § 3 EGBGB vorgeschriebenen Weise informiert. Gleiches gilt, sofern im jeweiligen Angebot enthaltenen

Flüge oder Übernachtungsleistungen seitens der Leistungsträger von INTREPID diesem gegenüber sofort zur Zahlung fällig werden oder ein Flugticket sofort nach bestätigter Buchung ausgestellt werden muss.

Der Restbetrag ist, sofern die Reise nicht mehr aus den in Ziffer 7.1 genannten Gründen abgesagt werden kann und der Sicherungsschein in Textform übermittelt wurde, vier Wochen (bei polaren Reisen 120 Tage) vor Reiseantritt zur Zahlung fällig. Sofern eine Reise noch aus den in Ziffer 7.1 genannten Gründen abgesagt werden kann, ist der Restbetrag für diese Reise erst zu dem Zeitpunkt fällig, in dem die Reise durch INTREPID nicht mehr abgesagt werden kann.

2.2 Bei kurzfristigen Buchungen, d.h. Buchungen, die so kurzfristig vor Reiseantritt erfolgen, dass der gesamte Reisepreis bereits fällig ist oder INTREPID die Reise nicht mehr wegen Nichterreichung der Teilnehmerzahl absagen kann, ist der gesamte Reisepreis sofort zur Zahlung nach in Textform erfolgter Übermittlung des Sicherungsscheines fällig.

2.3 Prämien für Versicherungen und sonstige Auslagen wie Storno- und Umbuchungsentgelte sind nach Rechnungsstellung vollständig zur Zahlung fällig.

2.4 Sofern der Reisende die Anzahlung oder Restzahlung trotz erhaltenen Sicherungsscheins nicht zum jeweiligen Fälligkeitstag leistet, ist INTREPID berechtigt, nach Mahnung mit Fristsetzung vom Vertrag zurückzutreten und den Reisenden mit den in Ziffer 4.1 ff. geregelten Stornierungskosten zu belasten. Dies gilt nur dann nicht, wenn ein gesetzliches oder vertragliches Zurückbehaltungsrecht des Reisenden besteht oder INTREPID zur ordnungsgemäßen Erbringung der vertraglichen Leistungen nicht bereit und in der Lage ist oder seine gesetzlichen Informationspflichten nicht erfüllt hat.

3. Leistungen und Leistungsänderungen

3.1 Die Leistungsverpflichtung von INTREPID ergibt sich ausschließlich aus dem Inhalt der Buchungsbestätigung in Verbindung mit dem für den Zeitpunkt der Reise gültigen Katalog bzw. Prospekt, der Website von INTREPID, einem individuellen Angebot oder einem sonstigen Medium von INTREPID unter Maßgabe sämtlicher darin enthaltener Informationen („Trip-Notes“), Hinweise und Erläuterungen sowie der für die gebuchte Pauschalreise relevanten vorvertraglichen Informationen nach Art. 250 § 3 EGBGB.

3.2 Mitarbeiter von Leistungsträgern (z.B. Fluggesellschaften, Hotels) sowie von Reisemittlern sind von INTREPID nicht bevollmächtigt, Zusicherungen oder Auskünfte zu geben, sowie Vereinbarungen zu treffen, die über die Reiseausschreibung, die Buchungsbestätigung oder der vorvertraglichen Informationen nach Art. 250 § 3 EGBGB von INTREPID hinausgehen, im Widerspruch dazu stehen oder den bestätigten Inhalt des Pauschalreisevertrages abändern.

3.3 Änderungen oder Abweichungen einzelner Reiseleistungen von dem vereinbarten Inhalt des Pauschalreisevertrages, die nach Vertragsschluss notwendig werden und die von INTREPID nicht wider Treu und Glauben herbeigeführt wurden, sind nur gestattet, soweit die Änderungen oder Abweichungen nicht erheblich sind und den Gesamtzuschnitt der gebuchten Pauschalreise nicht beeinträchtigen. Darüber hinaus müssen diese Änderungen vor Reisebeginn erklärt werden. INTREPID hat den Reisenden auf einem dauerhaften Datenträger klar, verständlich und in hervorgehobener Weise über die Änderung zu unterrichten.

3.4 Im Falle einer erheblichen Änderung einer wesentlichen Eigenschaft einer Reiseleistung nach Art. 250 § 3 Nr. 1 EGBGB oder einer Abweichung von einer besonderen Vorgabe des Reisenden, die Inhalt des Pauschalreisevertrages wurde, ist der Reisende berechtigt, innerhalb einer von INTREPID gesetzten angemessenen Frist

a) die mitgeteilte Änderung der Reiseleistung oder Abweichung der besonderen Vorgabe anzunehmen,

b) ohne Stornokosten vom Vertrag zurückzutreten, oder

c) die Teilnahme an einer von INTREPID gegebenenfalls angebotenen Ersatz-Pauschalreise zu erklären.

Wenn der Reisende gegenüber INTREPID nicht oder nicht innerhalb der gesetzten, angemessenen Frist reagiert, gilt die Änderung bzw. Abweichung als angenommen. Hierüber, sowie über die erhebliche Änderung bzw. Abweichung einer besonderen Vorgabe wird der Reisende von INTREPID unverzüglich nach Kenntnis von dem Änderungsgrund zusammen mit der Mitteilung über dessen Rechte nebst Fristsetzung zur Erklärung auf einem dauerhaften Datenträger klar, verständlich und in hervorgehobener Weise unterrichtet.

3.5 Eventuelle Gewährleistungsansprüche bleiben unberührt, soweit die geänderten Leistungen mit Mängeln behaftet sind. Sofern die durchgeführte Ersatz-Pauschalreise oder geänderte Pauschalreise im Vergleich zur ursprünglich geschuldeten Pauschalreise nicht von mindestens gleichwertiger Beschaffenheit, ist der Reisepreis gemäß § 651m Abs. 1 BGB zu mindern; sofern INTREPID bei gleichwertiger Beschaffenheit geringere Kosten entstehen, ist dem Reisenden der Differenzbetrag gemäß § 651m Abs. 2 BGB zu erstatten.

4. Rücktritt durch den Reisenden vor Reisebeginn, Vertragsübertragung (Ersatzperson)

4.1 Der Reisende kann jederzeit vor Reisebeginn vom Pauschalreisevertrag zurücktreten. Der Rücktritt ist gegenüber INTREPID unter den am Ende der ARB angegebenen Kontaktdaten zu erklären. Falls die Reise über einen Reisemittler gebucht wurde, kann der Rücktritt auch diesem gegenüber erklärt werden. Dem Reisenden wird empfohlen, den Rücktritt auf einem dauerhaften Datenträger zu erklären.

4.2 Tritt der Reisende vor Reisebeginn zurück oder tritt er die Reise nicht an, so verliert INTREPID den Anspruch auf den Reisepreis. Stattdessen kann INTREPID eine angemessene Entschädigung vom Reisenden verlangen. Dies gilt nicht, sofern der Rücktritt von INTREPID zu vertreten ist oder wenn am Bestimmungsort oder in dessen unmittelbarer Nähe unvermeidbare, außergewöhnliche Umstände auftreten, die die Durchführung der Pauschalreise oder die Beförderung von Personen an den Bestimmungsort erheblich beeinträchtigen; Umstände sind unvermeidbar und außergewöhnlich, wenn sie nicht der Kontrolle derjenigen Vertragspartei unterliegen, die sich hierauf beruft, und sich ihre Folgen auch dann nicht hätten vermeiden lassen, wenn alle zumutbaren Vorkehrungen getroffen worden wären.

4.3 INTREPID hat diesen ihm zustehenden Entschädigungsanspruch in den nachfolgenden Stornopauschalen festgelegt. Die Berechnung erfolgt unter Berücksichtigung des Zeitpunktes des vom Reisenden erklärten Rücktritts bis zum vertraglich vereinbarten Reisebeginn, der zu erwartenden Ersparnis von Aufwendungen und den zu erwartenden Erwerb durch eine anderweitige Verwendung der Reiseleistungen.

Die Entschädigung wird nach dem Zeitpunkt des Zugangs der Rücktrittserklärung bei INTREPID oder dem Reisemittler wie folgt berechnet:

a) allgemeine Stornopauschale:

bis 31. Tag vor Reiseantritt 20 %

bis 21. Tag vor Reiseantritt 40 %

bis 16. Tag vor Reiseantritt 60 %

bis 08. Tag vor Reiseantritt 70 %

ab dem 7. Tag vor Reiseantritt oder bei Nichtantritt der Reise 80 % des Gesamtpreises

b) besondere Stornopauschale:

Sonderangebote / Specials, Reisen in polare Gebiete sowie individuell ausgearbeitete Individual- und Gruppenreisen unterliegen besonderen Stornierungsbedingungen, auf die in der jeweiligen

Leistungsbeschreibung bzw. Reiseausschreibung/Angebot und der Reisebestätigung nach Art. 250 §§ 3, 6 EGBGB ausdrücklich hingewiesen wird.

4.4 Dem Reisenden bleibt es in jedem Fall unbenommen, INTREPID nachzuweisen, dass INTREPID durch den Rücktritt lediglich eine wesentlich niedrigere angemessene Entschädigung verlangen kann.

4.5 INTREPID behält sich vor, anstelle der vorstehenden Stornopauschalen eine höhere, konkret berechnete Entschädigung zu fordern, soweit INTREPID das Entstehen wesentlich höherer Aufwendungen als die jeweils anwendbare Stornopauschale nachweisen kann. In diesem Fall ist INTREPID verpflichtet, die geforderte Entschädigung unter Berücksichtigung der ersparten Aufwendungen und sowie abzüglich dessen, was er durch anderweitige Verwendung der Reiseleistungen erwirbt, konkret zu beziffern und auf Verlangen des Reisenden zu begründen.

4.6 Der Abschluss einer Reiserücktrittskostenversicherung wird von INTREPID ausdrücklich empfohlen.

4.7 Ist INTREPID infolge eines Rücktritts zur Rückerstattung des Reisepreises verpflichtet ist, ist die Erstattung unverzüglich, auf jeden Fall aber innerhalb von 14 Tagen nach dem Rücktritt zu leisten.

4.8 Das gesetzliche Recht des Reisenden, auf einem dauerhaften Datenträger gemäß § 651e BGB eine Vertragsübertragung auf einen anderen Reisenden zu erklären (Stellung eines Ersatzteilnehmers), bleibt durch die vorstehenden Bestimmungen unberührt, sofern diese Mitteilung INTREPID nicht später als sieben Tage vor Reiseantritt zugeht.

5. Umbuchungen durch den Reisenden vor Reisebeginn

5.1 Ein rechtlicher Anspruch des Reisenden auf eine Änderung hinsichtlich des Reisetermins, des Reiseziels, des Ortes des Reiseantritts, der Unterkunft oder der Beförderungsart (Umbuchung) besteht nicht. Dies gilt selbstverständlich nicht, sofern eine Umbuchung aufgrund unvollständiger oder fehlerhafter vorvertraglicher Informationen gemäß Art. 250 § 3 EGBGB nötig ist; eine solche Umbuchung wird für den Reisenden kostenfrei durchgeführt.

5.2 Sofern INTREPID auf Wunsch des Reisenden eine Umbuchung nach Ziffer 5.1 Satz 1 vornimmt, fällt bis zum 30. Tag vor Reiseantritt ein Umbuchungsentgelt in Höhe von 30.- € je Vorgang an, das zusätzlich zu einem eventuell neuen Reisepreis für die umgebuchte Leistung vom Reisenden zu bezahlen ist; über einen aufgrund der Umbuchung entstehenden neuen Reisepreis wird der Reisende vor der Umbuchung informiert.

5.3 Umbuchungswünsche des Reisenden ab 29 Tage vor Reisebeginn können, sofern ihre Durchführung überhaupt möglich ist, nur nach Rücktritt vom Reisevertrag gemäß Ziff. 4.3 zu den dort geltenden Bedingungen und gleichzeitiger Neuanmeldung durchgeführt werden. Dies gilt nicht bei Umbuchungswünschen, die nur geringfügige Kosten verursachen.

6. Nicht in Anspruch genommene Leistungen

Nimmt der Reisende einzelne Reiseleistungen, die INTREPID ordnungsgemäß angeboten hat, aus Gründen, die vom Reisenden zu vertreten sind, nicht in Anspruch, hat er keinen Anspruch auf eine anteilige Erstattung des Reisepreises. INTREPID wird sich bei den Leistungsträgern um Erstattung der ersparten Aufwendungen bemühen. Diese Verpflichtung entfällt, wenn es sich um völlig unerhebliche Leistungen handelt oder wenn einer Erstattung gesetzliche oder behördliche Bestimmungen entgegenstehen. INTREPID empfiehlt den Abschluss einer Reise-Abbruch-Versicherung.

7. Rücktritt wegen Nichterreichens der Mindestteilnehmerzahl und Kündigung durch INTREPID

7.1 INTREPID kann wegen Nichterreichens einer Mindestteilnehmerzahl nur dann vom Pauschalreisevertrag zurücktreten, wenn INTREPID

a) in der vorvertraglichen Unterrichtung hinsichtlich der gebuchten Pauschalreise die Mindestteilnehmerzahl beziffert, sowie den Zeitpunkt angibt, bis zu welchem vor dem vertraglich vereinbarten Reisebeginn dem Reisenden spätestens die Erklärung zugegangen sein muss, und

b) in der Reisebestätigung die Mindestteilnehmerzahl und die späteste Rücktrittsfrist angibt.

Der Rücktritt ist dem Reisenden gegenüber spätestens an dem Tag, der in der vorvertraglichen Unterrichtung und der Reisebestätigung angegeben ist, zu erklären. Sollte bereits zu einem früheren Zeitpunkt ersichtlich sein, dass die Mindestteilnehmerzahl nicht erreicht werden kann, hat INTREPID unverzüglich von seinem Rücktrittsrecht Gebrauch zu machen.

Wird die Reise aus diesem Grund nicht durchgeführt, hat INTREPID unverzüglich, auf jeden Fall aber innerhalb von 14 Tagen nach erklärtem Rücktritt, durch den Reisenden geleistete Zahlungen zurückzuerstatten.

7.2 INTREPID kann den Pauschalreisevertrag ohne Einhaltung einer Frist kündigen, wenn der Reisende die Durchführung der Reise ungeachtet einer Abmahnung durch INTREPID nachhaltig stört oder sich in einem solchen Maß vertragswidrig verhält, dass die sofortige Aufhebung des Vertrages gerechtfertigt ist; dies gilt nicht, sofern ein vertragswidriges Verhalten aufgrund einer Verletzung von vorvertraglichen Informationspflichten entstanden ist. Kündigt INTREPID, so behält INTREPID den Anspruch auf den Reisepreis, muss sich jedoch den Wert der ersparten Aufwendungen sowie diejenigen Vorteile anrechnen lassen, die INTREPID aus einer anderweitigen Verwendung der nicht in Anspruch genommenen Leistungen erlangt, einschließlich der ihm von seinen Leistungsträgern gutgebrachten Beträge.

7.3 Die von INTREPID angebotenen Touren erfordern aufgrund der mit ihnen verbundenen Anstrengungen vom Reisenden eine gewisse körperliche Belastbarkeit bzw. Kondition, darüber hinaus aber auch Teamgeist und kameradschaftliches Verhalten, sowie die Bereitschaft zur Mithilfe bei eventuell auftretenden Problemen. Auf die Teilnahmevoraussetzungen wird bei den jeweiligen ausgeschriebenen Pauschalreisen ausdrücklich hingewiesen. Sofern sich während der Reise herausstellt, dass der Reisende die Voraussetzungen trotz deren Kenntnis nicht erfüllt, ist INTREPID gleichfalls berechtigt, den Reisevertrag ohne Einhaltung einer Frist zu kündigen.

8. Mitwirkungspflichten des Reisenden

8.1 Reiseunterlagen

Der Reisende hat INTREPID oder seinen Reisemittler, bei dem er die Pauschalreise gebucht hat, zu informieren, wenn er die erforderlichen Reiseunterlagen (z.B. E-Ticket-Belege, Hotelvoucher) nicht innerhalb der von INTREPID mitgeteilten Frist erhält.

8.2 Mängelanzeige

INTREPID ist verpflichtet, dem Reisenden die Pauschalreise frei von Reisemängeln zu erbringen. Sollte dies nicht der Fall sein, ist der Reisende verpflichtet, einen Reisemangel INTREPID gegenüber unverzüglich anzuzeigen. Hierzu hat der Reisende seine Mängelanzeige unverzüglich dem Vertreter von INTREPID vor Ort bekannt zu geben. Ist ein Vertreter von INTREPID vor Ort nicht vorhanden und vertraglich nicht geschuldet, hat der Reisende die aufgetretenen Mängel INTREPID direkt gegenüber bekannt zu geben. Die Kontaktdaten eines vor Ort

vorhanden Vertreters von INTREPID nebst dessen Erreichbarkeit sowie die Kontaktdaten von INTREPID für eine Reisemängelanzeige sind der Reisebestätigung zu entnehmen. Der Reisende hat darüber hinaus die Möglichkeit, seine Mängelanzeige auch dem Reisemittler, bei dem er die Pauschalreise gebucht hat, zu übermitteln.

Der Vertreter von INTREPID ist beauftragt, für Abhilfe zu sorgen sofern dies möglich ist. Er ist jedoch nicht befugt, Ansprüche anzuerkennen.

Soweit INTREPID infolge einer schuldhaften Unterlassung der Mängelanzeige nicht Abhilfe schaffen konnte, kann der Reisende weder Minderungsansprüche nach § 651m BGB noch Schadensersatzansprüche nach § 651n BGB geltend machen.

8.3 Fristsetzung vor Kündigung

Will ein Reisender den Pauschalreisevertrag wegen eines erheblichen Reisemangels der in § 651i BGB bezeichneten Art nach § 651l BGB kündigen, so hat der Reisende INTREPID zuvor eine angemessene Frist zur Abhilfeleistung zu setzen. Dies gilt nur dann nicht, wenn Abhilfe durch INTREPID verweigert wird oder eine sofortige Abhilfe notwendig ist.

8.4 Gepäckverspätung und -beschädigung:

a) Der Reisende hat nach luftverkehrsrechtlichen Bestimmungen bei Flugreisen Schäden an seinem Reisegepäck oder einen Gepäckverlust oder Gepäckverspätung unverzüglich vor Ort der zuständigen Fluggesellschaft mittels Schadensanzeige (P.I.R.) anzuzeigen und sich aus Nachweisgründen eine Bestätigung in Textform aushändigen zu lassen. Sowohl Fluggesellschaften als auch INTREPID lehnen in der Regel diesbezügliche Erstattungen aufgrund internationaler Übereinkünfte ab, wenn die Schadenanzeige nicht ausgefüllt wurde. Die Schadenanzeige ist bei einer Gepäckbeschädigung binnen 7 Tagen und bei einer Gepäckverspätung binnen 21 Tagen nach Aushändigung zu erstatten.

b) Darüber hinaus ist die Beschädigung, der Verlust bzw. die Gepäckverspätung unverzüglich INTREPID gem. den Ausführungen in Ziffer 8.2 bekannt zu geben. Eine Bekanntgabe an INTREPID entbindet den Reisenden nicht von der Pflicht der fristgemäßen Schadenanzeige an die zuständige Fluggesellschaft gemäß lit. a).

9. Beschränkung der Haftung

9.1 Die vertragliche Haftung von INTREPID für Schäden, die nicht aus der Verletzung des Lebens, des Körpers oder der Gesundheit resultieren, ist auf den dreifachen Reisepreis beschränkt, soweit diese nicht schuldhaft herbeigeführt wurden. Gelten für eine Reiseleistung internationale Übereinkünfte oder auf solchen beruhende gesetzliche Vorschriften, nach denen ein Anspruch auf Schadensersatz gegen den Leistungserbringer nur unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen oder Beschränkungen entsteht oder geltend gemacht werden kann oder unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen ausgeschlossen ist, so kann sich auch INTREPID gegenüber dem Reisenden hierauf berufen.

9.2 INTREPID haftet nicht für Leistungsstörungen, Personen- und Sachschäden im Zusammenhang mit Leistungen, die als Fremdleistungen lediglich vermittelt werden, wie z.B. Ausflüge, Sportveranstaltungen, Musicalaufführungen, Ausstellungen, wenn diese Leistungen in der Reiseausschreibung und der Buchungsbestätigung ausdrücklich und unter Angabe der Identität und der Adresse des vermittelten Vertragspartners als Fremdleistungen so eindeutig gekennzeichnet werden, dass diese für den Reisenden erkennbar nicht Bestandteil der Pauschalreise von INTREPID sind. INTREPID haftet jedoch für diese Leistungen, wenn und soweit für einen Schaden des Reisenden die Verletzung von Hinweis-, Aufklärungs- oder Organisationspflichten seitens INTREPID ursächlich waren.

9.3 INTREPID haftet nicht für Leistungen, die durch den Reisenden im Rahmen der Pauschalreise in Anspruch genommen werden und nicht von INTREPID oder deren Vertreter vor Ort, sondern beispielsweise durch das Hotel oder andere Personen oder Firmen in eigener Verantwortung vermittelt oder veranstaltet werden.

10. Geltendmachung von Ansprüchen, Verbraucherstreitbeilegung

10.1 Ansprüche nach den §§ 651i Abs. 3 Nr. 2, 4-7 BGB hat der Reisende gegenüber INTREPID geltend zu machen. Die Geltendmachung kann durch den Reisenden auch über den Reisemittler, bei dem er die Pauschalreise gebucht hat, erfolgen. Es wird empfohlen, die Ansprüche auf einem dauerhaften Datenträger geltend zu machen.

10.2 Die reisevertraglichen Ansprüche des Reisenden verjähren in zwei Jahren; die Verjährungsfrist beginnt mit dem Tag, an dem die Pauschalreise dem Vertrag nach enden sollte.

10.3 Die Abtretung von Ansprüchen gegen INTREPID an Dritte, die nicht Reiseteilnehmer sind, ist ausgeschlossen.

10.4 INTREPID weist nach § 36 VSBG (Verbraucherstreitbeilegungsgesetz) darauf hin, dass INTREPID nicht an Streitbeilegungsverfahren vor einer Verbraucherschlichtungsstelle teilnimmt und hierzu auch gesetzlich nicht verpflichtet ist. Sollte sich nach Drucklegung eine gesetzliche Pflicht zur Teilnahme an einem solchen Streitbeilegungsverfahren ergeben oder sollte INTREPID freiwillig daran teilnehmen, wird INTREPID die Reisenden hierüber auf einem dauerhaften Datenträger informieren. Bei Vertragsschluss im elektronischen Rechtsverkehr wird auf die europäische Plattform zur Online-Streitbeilegung gemäß Art. 14 Abs. 1 ODR-VO unter https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/ verwiesen.

11. Pass-, Visa und Gesundheitsvorschriften

11.1 INTREPID unterrichtet die Reisenden über allgemeine Pass- und Visaerfordernisse des Bestimmungslandes einschließlich der ungefähren Fristen für die Erlangung von eventuell notwendigen Visa, sowie gesundheitspolizeiliche Formalitäten vor Vertragsabschluss sowie über deren evtl. Änderungen vor Reiseantritt.

11.2 Der Reisende ist verantwortlich für das Beschaffen und Mitführen der behördlich notwendigen Reisedokumente, eventuell erforderliche Impfungen sowie das Einhalten von Zoll- und Devisenvorschriften. Nachteile, die aus der Nichtbeachtung dieser Vorschriften erwachsen, z.B. die Zahlung von Rücktrittskosten, gehen zu seinen Lasten. Dies gilt nicht, wenn INTREPID nicht, nicht ausreichend oder falsch informiert hat.

11.3 INTREPID haftet nicht für die rechtzeitige Erteilung und den Zugang notwendiger Visa durch die jeweilige diplomatische Vertretung, wenn der Reisende INTREPID mit der Besorgung beauftragt hat, es sei denn, dass INTREPID eigene Pflichten schuldhaft verletzt hat.

12. Informationen zur Identität ausführender Luftfahrtunternehmen

Die EU-Verordnung zur Unterrichtung von Fluggästen über die Identität des ausführenden Luftfahrtunternehmens verpflichtet INTREPID, den Reisenden über die Identität der ausführenden Fluggesellschaften sämtlicher im Rahmen der gebuchten Reise zu erbringenden Flugbeförderungsleistungen bei der Buchung zu informieren. Steht bei der Buchung die ausführende Fluggesellschaft noch nicht fest, so ist INTREPID verpflichtet, dem Reisenden die Fluggesellschaft bzw. die Fluggesellschaften zu nennen, die wahrscheinlich den Flug bzw. die Flüge durchführen wird bzw. werden. Sobald INTREPID weiß, welche Fluggesellschaft den Flug durchführen wird, muss INTREPID den Reisenden informieren. Wechselt die dem Reisenden als ausführende Fluggesellschaft genannte Fluggesellschaft, muss INTREPID den Reisenden über den

Wechsel informieren. INTREPID muss unverzüglich alle angemessenen Schritte einleiten, um sicherzustellen, dass der Reisende so rasch wie möglich über den Wechsel unterrichtet wird.

Die Liste der Fluggesellschaften, denen der Betrieb in der EU untersagt ist (sog. „Black List“) kann auf folgender Internetseite abgerufen werden: https://ec.europa.eu/transport/modes/air/safety/air-ban_de

13. Anwendbares Recht, Gerichtsstand

13.1 Auf das Vertragsverhältnis zwischen dem Reisenden und INTREPID findet deutsches Recht Anwendung.

13.2 Der Reisende kann INTREPID nur an dessen Sitz verklagen. Für Klagen von INTREPID gegen den Reisenden ist der Wohnsitz des Reisenden maßgebend. Für Klagen gegen Reisende, die Kaufleute, juristische Personen des öffentlichen oder privaten Rechts oder Personen sind, wird als Gerichtsstand der Sitz von INTREPID vereinbart, sofern diese ARB aufgrund eines fehlenden Rahmenvertrages zur Abwicklung von Geschäftsreisen für das Unternehmen des Reisenden anwendbar sind. Gleiches gilt für Reisende, die ihren Wohnsitz oder gewöhnlichen Aufenthaltsort in einem Drittland haben oder deren Wohnsitz oder gewöhnlicher Aufenthalt im Zeitpunkt der Klageerhebung nicht bekannt ist

13.3 Die vorstehenden Bestimmungen gelten nicht,

a) wenn und insoweit sich aus vertraglich nicht abdingbaren Bestimmungen internationaler Abkommen, die auf den Pauschalreisevertrag zwischen dem Reisenden und INTREPID anzuwenden sind, etwas anderes zugunsten des Reisenden ergibt, oder

b) wenn und insoweit auf den Pauschalreisevertrag anwendbare, nicht abdingbare Bestimmungen im Mitgliedstaat der EU, dem der Reisende angehört, für den Reisenden günstiger sind, als die vorstehenden Bestimmungen oder die entsprechenden deutschen Vorschriften

Datenschutzhinweis:

Die im Rahmen der Buchung der Pauschalreise von den Reisenden zur Verfügung gestellten personenbezogenen Daten werden elektronisch verarbeitet und von Intrepid Travel GmbH und deren Leistungsträgern (Beförderungsunternehmen, Hotels, Incoming-Agenturen, Datenbankanbieter Einreise- und gesundheitspolizeilicher Vorschriften) genutzt und im weltweit genutzten Reservierungssystem (GDS) AMADEUS/SABRE verarbeitet und gespeichert, soweit sie zur Vertragsdurchführung erforderlich sind. Aufgrund

eines US-Bundesgesetzes zur Terroristenfahndung sind die Fluggesellschaften gezwungen, die Flug- und Reservierungsangaben jedes Passagiers vor der Einreise in die USA der US-Transportsicherheitsbehörde (TSA) mitzuteilen. Ohne diese Datenübermittlung ist eine Einreise in die USA nicht möglich – dies betrifft auch Zwischenlandungen sowie Umsteigeflüge. Auch bei Flügen in andere Staaten, die lediglich den Luftraum der USA tangieren, müssen diese Daten ebenfalls zwingend übermittelt werden.

Die Vorschriften der DSGVO finden Anwendung. Die ausführlichen Datenschutzhinweise einschließlich der Rechte der Reisenden sind auf www.intrepidtravel.com hinterlegt, können unter den Kontaktdaten von Intrepid Travel GmbH angefordert werden bzw. werden zum Zeitpunkt der Erhebung der Daten (Reiseanfrage / Reisebuchung) zur Verfügung gestellt

Fernabsatzverträge:

Intrepid Travel GmbH weist darauf hin, dass Buchungen von Pauschalreisen im Fernabsatz (z.B. telefonisch, per E-Mail) nicht nach den §§ 312 Abs. 7, 312g Abs. 2 Satz 1 Nr. 9 BGB widerrufen werden können. Ein Widerrufsrecht besteht jedoch dann, wenn der Vertrag über die Pauschalreise zwischen Intrepid Travel GmbH und dem Reisenden, der Verbraucher ist, außerhalb von Geschäftsräumen geschlossen worden ist, es sei denn, die mündlichen Verhandlungen, auf denen der Vertragsschluss beruht, sind auf vorhergehende Bestellung des Verbrauchers geführt worden.

Reiseversicherungen:

Intrepid Travel GmbH empfiehlt dringendst den Abschluss einer Reise-Rücktrittskosten-Versicherung und einer Auslands-Reise-Krankenversicherung einschließlich Deckung der Rückführungskosten bei Unfall oder Krankheit.
