LIMITS TO LIABILITY

Wangulen is not responsible for any personal injury, loss or property damage arising directly or indirectly from acts of God, detention, delays, and expenses related to any strikes, thefts, pilferage, civil disturbances, government restrictions or regulations, quarantines and failure of any means of transport to arrive or depart as scheduled over which Wangulen has no control. We also cannot be held responsible for any loss of life, personal injury, delays, over bookings, cancellations, loss or damage of baggage caused by any domestic flight, lodging stay, transportation or tour service from 3rd parties. In the event it becomes necessary or advisable, for any reason, to change the itinerary or lodging arrangements, Wangulen has the right to do so. Accordingly, any material additional expenses or savings will be shared by passengers.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

Travel documents: You are responsible for securing all required travel documents, such as a valid passport which expires no less than 6 months after initial entry date, and any necessary travel visas or "Reciprocity Fees" based on your country of citizenship. Obviously, if you have any doubts or questions, just contact us and we’ll help you in any way we can.

Tour: Each tour participant must maintain the safety and well being of other travelers throughout the tour. We cannot be held responsible for any cancellations or itinerary changes related to rude and/or dangerous behavior of tour participants.

Internal flights: You are responsible for making all applicable connecting flights. Wangulen assumes no responsibility for any customer arriving late or being a “no show”. Additionally, domestic flights have a baggage weight limit of 20 kilos (44 pounds) per person, which is half the typical international flight limit.

Health & Insurance: If you have any existing medical conditions or food requirements, those must be communicated to us at the time of booking. This information is to serve you as best we can, and as per our Privacy Policy below, will be kept confidential and never sold or provided to any 3rd party. You must remember that some destinations will be in very remote locations, making evacuation or immediate detailed medical attention delayed, difficult, expensive and even impossible. Therefore, it is important that you take special care with any conditions prior to your tour. Wangulen cannot accept responsibility for costs associated with any needed medical and/or evacuation services which might be needed.

We highly recommend that you purchase short-term travelers insurance which covers baggage, accident, life and trip cancellations prior to your tour.

Client Conduct: Wangulen reserves the right to remove or ban any individual at any time from any transportation, lodging, domestic flight or tour despite that individual’s purchase of said services, in the event the person’s actions or general deportment put at risk the operation of any services being rendered or impose on the rights, welfare, safety or enjoyment of other travelers. Any refunds given under such circumstances are at the sole discretion of Wangulen.

PRIVACY STATEMENT

Wangulen will never publish, sell, rent or otherwise disclose any or your private information to 3rd parties without your written consent. Making a reservation for one of our tours requires payment to be made via secure international wire transfers, so your credit card and other private information will not go through the internet. Any personal information we request from you is only for us to provide you with the very best personal service as possible, is stored on our secure server in California, and will never be distributed to anyone else. Period.
