VERY IMPORTANT Please read carefully. This is a legal contract.

Insurance

We require that you protect yourself with a travel insurance policy covering accidents, trip cancellation and emergency evacuation.

Guest Responsibility

It is vital that persons with medical problems make them known to us well before departure. Trip members have a responsibility to select a trip appropriate to their ability and interest. The trip leader has the right to disqualify anyone at any time if he or she feels the trip member is incapable and/or the trip member’s participation will endanger the other trip members. Failure to adhere to directions established by the trip leaders may result in being asked to leave the trip. If you are asked to leave the trip for any reason, you are responsible for all incurred expenses. No refund will be given.

Assumption of Risk and Waiver of Liability

Backcountry and international travel has danger and risks. I acknowledge that the risk exists, including but not limited to hazards of travel in jungles, mountains, high altitudes, steep terrain, travel by boat, raft, jeep, horse, hot air balloon, bicycle or other conveyance. I further acknowledge that the forces of nature, crime, civil unrest and personal injury or illness in remote areas without means of rapid evacuation or adequate medical care are all risks, which exist in adventure travel. I agree that Costarican Adrenaline Adventures and its agents and employees shall have no liability regarding the adequacy of medical care and medical supplies that may be provided. I agree to assume all risk of death, injury to myself, or my child, and damage or loss of my personal property. I alone am responsible for my or my child’s actions. Should I or my child become ill or injured, I will pay all costs of evacuation and medical care that I or my child might receive. I HEREBY RELEASE Costarican Adrenaline ADVENTURES, its agents/employees and anyone acting in concert with them from any liability resulting from my or my child's participation in a Costarican Adrenaline Adventures sponsored trip or program. The terms contained herein shall serve as a waiver of liability of the trip operator and an assumption of risk on my, or my child's behalf, my, or their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns for any and all known or unknown personal injuries, emotional trauma and suffering, financial loss and/or property damage or loss. Should any suit or legal action be brought against the trip/program operators and sponsors it is agreed that such suit shall first be attempted through Alternative Dispute Resolution before relying on litigation. In case of litigation, it is agreed that the suit shall be brought only in a court of jurisdiction within Costa Rica. I agree that if I or my child’s heirs or anyone acting on their behalf should bring such suit that I/they shall pay all attorney fees, related court and defense costs should I/they not prevail. Should any part of this contract be found invalid or not enforceable by a court of law, then the remaining portion shall continue to be valid and in force. No other modifications are allowed. This document forms the entire agreement.
