website). The inclusions and exclusions for the Trip are listed in the Trip Notes. The price is quoted in US dollars and is payable by
cash, credit card or by direct deposit into EB’s nominated bank account. You will be responsible for all bank charges that may be
levied on direct deposits or credit card payments. EB reserves the right to levy a surcharge on credit card payments, however, this will
be notified to you before any surcharge is levied or any credit card payment accepted. Every endeavor will be made by EB not to
change the Price. However, if there is a change to the exchange rate or local conditions, EB reserves the right to change the Price.

If you book for this Trip and decide to transfer to another Trip then EB will agree to transfer your payment across to the
new Trip provided that your written notice of the change is received no later than 90 days prior to the date that the Trip you initially
booked was due to commence or such other date as EB in its discretion may agree.
Cancellation by EB (trip numbers)
EB may cancel the Trip if it considers that the number of persons booked on the Trip is
insufficient for EB to run the Trip. You may not claim any costs, loss or damages (whether direct or indirect) from EB in connection with any cancellation of the Trip for such reason, including for any time incurred or inconvenience suffered, gear purchased, flights
booked or vaccinations obtained. However, all or any part of the Price already paid by you will be refunded to you (less any
administration, bank or foreign exchange fees that EB may incur in refunding the monies paid to you).
Cancellation or other changes by EB (other)
In the case of inclement weather, snowy or icy conditions, conditions that EB
reasonably considers may make any part of the Trip unduly risky, or any political, military, terrorist
threat, pandemic, epidemic (or similar) or due to a variation to or introduction of a government travel warning or advisory after the date you book the Trip, EB reserves the right to
change the start date of the Trip, the end date, the duration, the route, to cancel or postpone, or delay the Trip, if EB considers that
there may be a risk to the safety of Trip participants, or if a third party providing services for the Trip fails to or is unlikely to provide
those services if such conditions exist or may reasonably exist. You acknowledge that in the event of any such change, cancellation,
postponement or delay you have no right to claim any costs, loss, damages (whether direct or indirect) or refund from EB. You also
acknowledge that EB is not obliged to inform you of any government travel warning or advisory that may apply and that you have or have had
opportunity to check any government travel warnings or advisory that may be in place.
Trip Guides
EB will nominate a suitably experienced Guide(s) to lead your Trip. However, EB reserves the right at any time to change the nominated Guide and replace that Guide with another suitably experienced Guide, including in the case of illness or
subsequent unavailability of a nominated Guide. You may not claim any costs, loss, damages (whether direct or indirect) or refund
from EB for any change to a Trip Guide or any other staff engaged by EB for your Trip.

If for any reason, the Guide, as nominated by EB, considers, in the Guide’s discretion,
that you should not participate in the Trip for reasons associated with your health and fitness, despite you having obtained a medical
clearance to do so, the Guide may exclude you from the Trip, either before or during the Trip. If on such grounds the Guide excludes
you from the Trip before the Trip commences, then any refund will be in accordance with the condition 'Cancellation by you' as if you had cancelled during
the timeframes stated in that condition. However, if the Guide excludes you from the Trip on such grounds after the Trip commences
for any reason, no refund will be payable to you, except in the discretion of EB.

The Guide may, in the Guide’s discretion, exclude you from the Trip if you engage in any illegal act,

the Trip, including staff engaged by EB for your Trip. In connection with such exclusion, you must follow the instructions of the Guide.

insure for this, if you can, as you may consider appropriate.
