4. TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Trekking in remote parts of any country carries inherent risk due to weather, potential injury and even death. All of this is beyond our control. Werner Berger – Meet Me At The Top (referred to as WB – MMATT), and its affiliates do their best to reduce any risks and hazards, still there are chances of accidents happening, and for this you and we must agree as follows:

Your bookings are made through WB – MMATT, owned and operated by Werner Berger, 1042 Victory Dr., Yardley, Pa  19067 – 215-642-0083

CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY – WB – MMATT strongly urges you to acquire trip cancellation insurance. Due to the heavy cost of government permits and booking fees, WB – MMATT, is forced to adhere to a strict cancellation policy.

If you are unable to travel, and have made all payments, you may replace yourself with an exchange person who has the fitness level required to keep up with the rest of the group for an administrative fee of $35.00.

No refunds can be made if you voluntarily leave a trip for any reason after the trip has begun, including accommodation, transport, sightseeing, meals or services not utilized.

Participant’s whose balances are not received by the due dates risk forfeiture of their place on the trek.

TRIP CANCELLATION INSURANCE: Trip cancellation insurance is highly recommended. You might wish to check with your insurers, and/or on line (example – www.Travelex-Insurance.com – we are not affiliated with them). If you require assistance in obtaining this please let us know.

MEDICAL AND EVACUATION INSURANCE: A condition of joining this trek is that you are insured against medical and personal accident risks. This insurance must include medical coverage, and, at your option, air if you need emergency transportation back to the USA. You should be aware that some policies do not include, or restrict coverage for this type of activity. You must ensure that the policy you do take provides an adequate level of protection and covers you for the activities involved.

PASSPORT: You must carry a valid passport and have obtained the appropriate visas for traveling in Tanzania. Please ensure your passport is valid for 6 months beyond the duration of the trip. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in possession of the correct visas for the countries you are traveling to. WB – MMATT cannot accept responsibility if you are refused entry to a country or places because you lack the correct visa documentation. The Africa visa may be obtained at the airport in Tanzania.

PARTICIPANT RESPONSIBILITY: You must accept full responsibility for your own well being and that of your offspring; including health and a strong physical conditioning. At your sole discretion you may wish to obtain a physician’s release prior to departure. Your responsibilities include, and are not limited to:

– The Tanzanian government requires you to have Yellow Fever vaccination prior to entering the country, or to have a valid exemption certificate. They also recommend malaria and cholera (speak to Werner about all three before you do anything about this).

–  Physical preparation prior to departure, if you have bravely opted for the climb.

–  Obtaining proper equipment and clothing

–  Conforming to basic standards of personal hygiene while on the trek (to minimize the risk of travel related diseases)

• I acknowledge that my participation in a guided trekking trip entails known and unanticipated risks that could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity.

The risks include, among other things: the hazards of walking on uneven terrain and slips and falls; being struck by rock-fall, icefall or other objects dislodged or thrown from above; the use of trekking equipment; the forces of nature, including lightning, and weather changes; the risks of falling off the rock, mountain or down an incline; the risks of exposure to insect bites; the risk of altitude and cold including hypothermia, frostbite, acute mountain sickness, cerebral and pulmonary edema; my own physical condition, and the physical exertion associated with this activity.

Furthermore, WB – MMATT employees and their contractors have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be unaware of a participant’s fitness or abilities. They might misjudge the weather, or other environmental conditions. They may give incomplete warnings or instructions, and the equipment being used might malfunction.

• I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in this activity. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks.
• I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless WB – MMATT from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity or my use of WB – MMATT’s equipment or facilities, including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions by WB – MMATT.

I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. While traveling with WB – MMATT I agree to accept the authority of the trip leader or local operator at all times. I am aware that travel within a group may involve compromise to accommodate the diverse desires and physical abilities of group members. I understand that WB – MMATT reserves the right to decline, accept, or retain any person as a member of the group at any time.

To the best of WB – MMATT knowledge, these third parties are qualified to perform the duties they are contracted to perform. However WB – MMATT will not be held liable for any injury, damage, loss, delay or irregularity that may occur due to the behavior of these third parties.
• WB – MMATT and its affiliates will not accept responsibility or liability for any traveler who contravenes any law or regulation while in Africa.

By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt, or property is damaged during my participation in this activity, or weather has caused delays, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against WB – MMATT on the basis of any claim from which I have released them herein.

I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read and understand it, and I agree to be bound by its terms.
