GENEREAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
badams TRAVEL and our cooperating agents make every effort to select reliable suppliers and contractors to provide air and other transportation, hotels, guides, and other travel related services; we do not assume responsibility, directly or indirectly, for any loss, damage or injury to property or person in connection with such services.

Each traveler agrees not to hold badams TRAVEL, its owners, employees, agents or representatives liable, in the absence of their own gross negligence, for any loss or injury, expense, or damage which results directly or indirectly from any act or omission of any person or firm which is to or does provide goods or services in connection with the trip or with any available option.

badams TRAVEL and its cooperating agents shall not be liable for circumstances arising as a result of Acts of God, weather, detention, annoyance, delays and expenses arising from quarantine, strikes, theft, pilferage, force majeure, military, political or terrorist action, civil disturbances, government restrictions, failure of any means of conveyance to arrive or depart as scheduled, discrepancies or changes in transit over which they have no control.

badams TRAVEL reserves the right to change the program fee, dates or itinerary with little or no notice. If such changes do occur, no refunds will be made beyond those described in our cancellation policy and badams TRAVEL will not be liable for expenses incurred because of the change (such as air ticket change fees, etc.).

SAFETY & TRIP ENJOYMENT:
badams TRAVEL plans these trips in areas where the environment can sometimes lead to unpredictable conditions. To avoid possibly dangerous situations, it is extremely important that all travelers obey the rules and regulations set forth by the Tour Leaders and/or Local Guides.

We reserve the right to prohibit any traveler from continuing on a journey if, in our opinion, that traveler’s actions pose a threat to the safety of themselves, others, or to the wildlife, or if that traveler’s actions or behaviors are seriously jeopardizing the enjoyment of the trip for others.

HOLD HARMLESS RELEASE:
Participation in the program will require that travelers sign releases and covenants not to sue badams TRAVEL or its participating agents in the absence of their own gross negligence. On advancement of a deposit, the traveler agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth above.

PLEASE NOTE:
The information in our brochures and on our website is prepared well in advance of departure dates. Due to the nature of the programs, we provide, hotels, modes of transportation, and, in some cases, itineraries change. If this does occur, we will attempt to provide similar facilities but are not always able to do so. We hope you understand.

CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICIES:
We understand how disappointing it is for travelers in the event they are forced to cancel their adventure, especially one that they have been looking forward to for a long time. But we too plan for these adventures for quite a long period prior to departure and must continuously send non-refundable payments to hotels and suppliers of transportation. Therefore, we must strictly adhere to our Cancellation & Refund Policy for all travelers.

ALL CANCELLATIONS MUST BE MADE IN WRITING:
Cancellations processed more than 90 days before departure are subject to a $100 cancellation fee. Some of our trips have non-refundable deposits, which are listed on the tour pages.

For all our land-based trips, cancellations made fewer than 90 days prior to departure date, incur a loss of 100% of the entire program fee, including all extensions.
