*** Important Notices, Terms and Conditions ***

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS & CONDITIONS CAREFULLY AS, BY GIVING US YOUR FINAL CONFIRMATION OR BY PAYING THE DEPOSIT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, AGREED AND ACCEPTED ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS STATED BELOW.

 

I: Payment, Refund & Cancellation & No Shows and bank expenses:

 

Land tour cost: 

- Bank expenses: All bank (transfer) expenses will be paid by the client (also when refunding). Please make sure you arrange this with your local bank.

 

- Cancellation fees

  • For cancellation prior to 30 days before the departure date there will be a cancellation fee of €1500.

  • For cancellation between 15 and 30 days before the departure date there will be a cancellation fee of €3000.

  • For cancellation between 0 and 15 days before the departure date or no-show there will be a cancellation fee of €8850 (full price)

CANCELLATION OF THE EXPEDITION: 

  • Before arrival: paid amounts will be refunded minus a non-refundable part of €1500. When alternative dates will be organized, this amount will be applied to a new Carstensz trip booking.

  • After arrival: part of the paid fee might be refunded, but this is not guaranteed as we are dependent on refund from many local contractors. So in principle the balance is non refundable unless agreed otherwise. The full advance payment is not refunded as we already spent $ arranging permits, providing porters, paying deposit of charter plane, and other mostly non or partially refundable things that need to be paid in advance.

  • There will be no refund if a member leaves a trip for any reason either voluntarily or involuntarily after the trip has begun. No refund will be made for any services not utilized or if the trip has to be canceled or changed due to different reasons, including but not limited to: plane/crew problems, social/political unrest or permit problems. Unexpected changes might need additional costs, which will have to be paid by the client.
