Royal Inka Tours reserves the
right to cancel any trip prior to departure for any reason whatsoever, including
logistical problems that may impede trip operations. The refund of all payments received
shall release Royal Inka Tours in any further liability. A trip cancellation due to
insufficient sign-up would normally occur a minimum of one month prior to departure.
Royal Inka Tours must normally make substantial payments to its suppliers far in advance
of the scheduled embarkation date. If a trip is canceled due to force majeure
(acts of God, war, labor strikes, earthquake, flooding, etc.), Royal Inka Tour will
promptly refund the portion of the trip cost not advanced to suppliers and use its best
efforts to recover and refund the balance as promptly as possible.
Royal Inka Tours is not responsible for expenses incurred by trip members in preparing for
a canceled trip (e.g., non-refundable advance purchase air tickets, visa fees, equipment,
etc.) or for any additional arrangements should the trip member have embarked prior to the
scheduled group departure date.
TRIP MEMBER'S RESPONSIBILITY Trip members have the responsibility to select a
trip appropriate to their abilities and interests. In order to assist you we grade each
trip. We are also happy to discuss the trip with you, as well as provide you with names of
past participants who
can describe their experience with us to you. Trip members are responsible for being in
sufficient good health to undertake the trip. Trip members are responsible for preparing
for the trip by studying the itinerary and pre-departure information packets sent by Royal
Inka Tours, and for bringing the appropriate clothing and equipment.
