The feasibility to carry out any activity is subject to the guide’s assessment of the weather conditions on the day and the physical ability of each of the participants.
THE EXPLORIDERS© reserves the right to modify the activity program for safety reasons, floods, physical ability, or any other circumstance outside the organiser’s control. If any of these circumstances arise, alternative routes will be organized without participants being eligible to claim compensation.
If THE EXPLORIDERS© finds that for whatever reason an activity must be cancelled, the participants will be refunded in full without eligibility to claim further compensation.

- For any cancellation by the participant(s), the deposit will not be refunded.
- For any cancellation more than 30 days before the date of the activity, the usual practice is not to claim a penalty.
