6. Cancellation or Change of Contract by the Organiser

A minimum number of participants are required for certain programs. The organiser reserves the right to withdraw from the contract also on short notice. If the fulfilment of a contract is not possible at another time or if the customer cannot take part in the alternative services offered, any paid fees will be refunded minus charges for services rendered. Further damage claims are not possible. The organiser reserves the right to cancel the program on short notice if participants cause the fulfilment of a contract to be endangered or made impossible by their behaviour, their omissions or other actions. In this case the regulation of the cancellation costs applies in accordance with number 5. If a program or parts of a program cannot be carried out due to Acts of God, safety concerns by the organiser, official regulations, strikes or uncertain weather and nature conditions, the organiser reserves the right to cancel or cut short the activities on short notice. Paid fees will be returned minus charges for services rendered, any expenditures and the handling fee. Please note that a danger-free completion of the activity is in everyone’s interest. All decisions made by the activity leaders are final. The organiser expressly reserves the right to modify the program. The organiser will strive for an equivalent service replacement.

7. Conditions of Participation, Obligations of the Participant

Good health is necessary in order to take part in all activities. The participants are obligated to inform the organiser of any possible health problems. Under no circumstances may participants take part in the activities while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, psychiatric drugs or any similar substances. The participants are obliged to fulfil the conditions of participation and agree to strictly follow the instructions of the organiser, the guides, activity leader, and assistants. If the Conditions of Participation are not fulfilled or if instructions are disregarded, the organiser reserves the right to prohibit participation.

8. Insurance

The participants are not insured by the organiser. Everyone who is visiting or live in Norway has the right of free health care.

9. Appeals

Should the activity lead to appeals or damages, these are to be communicated immediately, in writing, to the activity leader (i.e. activity provider), and these are to be confirmed in writing by the responsible leader. The activity leader, however, shall not have the right to acknowledge claims, for which reason a confirmation shall not have the effect of an acknowledgement of wrongdoing. The activity leader (i.e. activity provider) will make every effort, within the confines of the program and the possibilities available, to remedy the situation. Should the situation be insufficiently remedied or not be remedied, or the participant wishes to make damage claims, these must be received by the organiser within four weeks of the contractual end of the activity at the booking agency. The participant’s appeal is to be accompanied by the confirmation of the activity provider/activity leader as well as any other relevant evidence. In the case of delayed complaints or complaints with omissions during the activity or delayed submissions of the claims at the booking agency ,all appeals will be deemed invalid.

10. General liability

Damage claims against the organiser or the assistants are excluded, as far as the damage was not caused by negligence or intentionally. The organiser is authorised to have assistants or call on third parties to provide valued services. Should the organiser lawfully transfer the execution of the activity to a third party, the organiser shall not be held responsible for the third party’s actions or neglect during execution of the activity. The organiser will especially not be held responsible for damages which are caused by the actions or neglect of the activity leader should this conduct not fall under his/her contracted responsibility; as cause of actions of third parties, other participants, the participant (especially under point 1), acts of God, natural occurrences, official regulations etc or damages caused by delayed return to the starting point of the activity. Should the participant not follow the instructions of the organiser, activity leader, etc, all liability of the organiser is dropped.

11. Applicable Law and Area of Jurisdiction

Norwegian law, excluding international agreement, is exclusively applicable for the contractual relationship. The parties agree that the exclusive legal domicile is Voss. The organiser is however authorised to lodge a claim in the legal domicile of the customer.

Should one or more clauses of these general business conditions be ineffectual and/or incomplete, then the clause that comes closest to the legal rule will replace the ineffectual and/or incomplete clause. The ineffectualness and/or incompleteness of one clause leaves the effectiveness of the other clauses unaffected.
