All tour payments will be held in a Bushranger Bikes security account until the tour.

Each alteration to your tour will incur a $50 administration fee. All administration fees must be paid before departure. Bushranger Bikes does not guarantee that it will be able to accommodate your alteration request(s), but will do its best to do so. Transfers: If you wish to transfer from one tour to another, you must notify Bushranger Bikes in writing. Once Bushranger Bikes receives notice the transfer will take effect.

5. Health and Fitness Requirements

Participants must be in good health and excellent physical condition and are strongly advised to follow our pre-departure training recommendations. Participants should consider undergoing a medical to determine you are fit and healthy enough to go on tour. It is vital that participants with medical problems make them known to us well before departure. If you suffer from severe muscular, chest, heart or bronchial disorders, or if you are a severe asthmatic, or have high blood pressure, you are strongly advised against participating. Some tours take place in remote areas where there is little or no access to normal medical services or hospital facilities for serious problems. Where necessary, evacuation can be prolonged, difficult and expensive. Medical and evacuation expenses will be the responsibility of the participant.

6. Tour Leaders

Our Tour Leaders take their responsibilities seriously and if a Tour Leader believes in his/her judgment that you should not participate in the tour, before your departure, even if you pass your medical, he/she may exclude you from the tour. In this circumstance you will be offered the option of taking another tour considered suitable for you or a full refund. If during a tour a Tour Leader considers you should not participate further he/she may direct you not to continue and you must follow the Tour Leader’s instructions. In this case you will not be entitled to any refund. Travel insurance may compensate you depending on the circumstances.

7. Delay, Cancellation or Change of Itinerary

Bushranger Bikes reserves the right to cancel any tour prior to departure (including, but not limited to, by reason of too few people booking on any tour) in which case, you will be given a refund in full. You will not be entitled to make any further claim for any injury, loss, expenses or damage (either direct or consequential) or for any loss of time or inconvenience which may result from such cancellation (including but not limited to visa, passport and vaccination charges, or departure, gear purchases, airport and airline taxes).

8. Insurance

Personal travel insurance is not included in the tour price. It is a condition of booking a tour with Bushranger Bikes that you are adequately insured for the full duration of the tour in respect of illness, injury, death, loss of baggage and personal items and cancellation and curtailment. A copy of your travel insurance must be provided to Bushranger Bikes prior to travel.

9. Route Changes/Postponement or Delay

Bushranger Bikes may for any reason change the date of departure or conclusion of the tour. Furthermore it is possible that a route change, postponement or delay (either in relation to departure or to the duration of the tour) may become necessary due to inclement weather, snow and ice conditions, political restrictions or any other cause. In the event of a change, postponement or delay, participants have no right to refund of the tour price (in whole or in part) or other compensation for any injury, loss, damage or other expense which they may incur, suffer or sustain (whether direct or consequential).

10. Airline

Any material published by Bushranger Bikes, the booking form and these Terms and Conditions are not issued on the behalf of, and do not bind any airline whose services are used or proposed to be used in the course of the tour in any way. In the event that an airline’s proposed travel or fare schedule is amended or cancelled, such amendment or cancellation will not be considered a cancellation of the tour by Bushranger Bikes.

11. Tour Prices

Package prices are based on ground and other stated tour costs and exchange rates at 1 July 2008, or the date of printing the Bushranger Bikes tour brochure. Bushranger Bikes tries its utmost not to increase tour prices (in full or part), however sometimes increases are outside its control.

Amendments may be necessitated for many reasons including, but not limited to, exchange rate fluctuations, increased fuel costs, increased airline costs, airport charges, increases in ground operator services fees, or the need to engage alternative air or ground operators.
