General terms and conditions + travel conditions
1. Registration: Please register for your chosen offer using the online registration form. An early registration makes our work easier and guarantees you a free place. After receiving your registration you will receive a personal email confirmation. With the registration, these general terms and conditions become part of the contract between you and ROCKnSNOW Alpine Guiding Peter Bacher
2. Insurance: Each of our guides who work with us as a state-certified mountain guide, canyon guide, mountain bike guide, hiking guide or paraglider tandem pilot has comprehensive liability insurance. Otherwise, the participants are not insured by the organizer.
We therefore recommend that you take out adequate accident, rescue, foreign health, repatriation, liability, luggage and cancellation or travel cancellation insurance at your own expense.
2.1 Travel insurance is mandatory for our ROCK the WORLD trips. It is possible to book the European travel insurance with us. This contractual relationship comes about between the traveler and the insurance provider, not with ROCKnSNOW Alpine Guiding Peter Bacher. Any liability on the part of ROCKnSNOW Alpine Guiding Peter Bacher is therefore excluded.
3. Payment: All prices are adapted to the Zillertal and Austrian mountain guide tariffs. A person-related tariff applies to our tours. A higher price applies for one person and for 2 people (minimum tariff). From 3 people the person-related single price applies (group tariff).
All our prices are calculated fairly. Leading in the mountains is a demanding task with a lot of knowledge and experience behind it. That is why this service must have its fair price.
3.1 In the case of ROCK the WORLD package tours, down payments of customer monies are secured in accordance with the Travel Agency Security Ordinance (RSV), provided they are made eleven months before the end of the trip at the earliest. The remaining payments are to be paid 20 days before the start of the journey, during which the travel documents are sent to the traveler.
3.2. Price change before the start of the trip: In the package tour contract, the tour operator reserves the right to make price changes at the latest 20 days before the start of the trip after the package travel contract has been concluded. Permissible price changes are:
a; Costs for passenger transport as a result of fuel increases.
b; Taxes and duties to be paid for the contractually agreed travel services.
c; Exchange rate changes in the travel countries
4. Lack of requirements: Anyone who is physically fit or able to meet the requirements can take part in the events offered by ROCKnSNOW. The leader is entitled to exclude participants from the event if these obviously / recognizably do not meet the requirements. In this case there is no money back.
4.1 Before the ROCK the WORLD expeditions, we organize “get-to-know days” with the entire team at some time after the booked trip, where all expedition participants get to know each other. In the preparatory course, the participants are shown and trained in the necessary prerequisites.
5. Cancellation by the organizer before the start of the event: If too few participants take part in an offer or there are other circumstances (dangerous weather conditions, security, official measures or other force majeure) that prevent the offer from being carried out, the organizer can at short notice withdraw from the contract. If the customer does not want to or cannot rebook any of the alternative offers offered to him, he will of course be reimbursed for the payments made (minus the services already used). Further compensation claims are excluded.
5.1 Cancellation by the customer for a day tour: 48 hours before the start of the adventure booked can be canceled free of charge. After that, 100% of the total price is due.
5.2 Cancellation by the customer before the start of the ROCK the WORLD expeditions: Cancellation insurance is absolutely necessary for our exclusive travel destinations, as cancellation fees of 80% to 100% apply regardless of the time of cancellation. For the remaining expedition participants, these cancellation measures will not change anything in terms of price.
6. Program changes before the start of the event: Our offers take place regardless of the weather. We reserve the right to change the program for reasons such as bad weather, danger of avalanches, unfavorable conditions, safety. By accepting the general terms and conditions, the participants declare that they agree to this fact. Any additional costs will be charged to the participant or reduced costs will be reimbursed. No reduced costs will be reimbursed for changes to the program that are due to a lack of constitution, concentration and fitness of the participants.
7. Minimum number of participants: If the number of participants is insufficient, we are entitled to cancel the offer or to create another attractive offer for which several participants have already registered. If you do not want this new offer, we will of course reimburse you in full for the payments you have already made. If you still want the offer to be carried out, we will make you a newly calculated offer. If you agree to the newly calculated price, a new contract will be concluded.
7.1 If the minimum number of participants is not reached for ROCK the WORLD trips, we can withdraw without additional compensation, but no later than 20 days before the start of the package tour for trips of more than six days. The previously made payments for the package tour will of course be reimbursed.
8. Liability: The organizer is responsible for deficiencies in the implementation of the offers, provided that it is a failure of the agreed and to be provided services or changes that mean a reduction in value compared to the original agreement. This guarantee applies in any case only up to the amount of the agreed offer price and only for the direct damage. The organizer is not liable for disadvantages and damage of any kind if these were caused through no fault of the organizer or an auxiliary person of the organizer. The organizer assumes no liability for unauthorized participants and failure to follow the instructions! We want to expressly point out that every kind of movement in nature involves a certain residual risk. By booking your offer, you confirm that you are largely responsible and accept the residual risk.
Furthermore, the organizer assumes no liability in the event of disruptions in performance due to unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances caused, for example, by: wind and weather, snow conditions, avalanche danger, failure of mountain railways, natural disasters, etc.
8.1 We assume no liability for disruptions in the performance of brokered third-party services in day-to-day business and where ROCKnSNOW Alpine Guiding Peter Bacher acts as a travel agent. In the case of slight negligence, liability is excluded.
9. At ROCK the WORLD trips, each participant is responsible for passport, visa, customs, foreign exchange and health regulations at his own expense. For example, when booking a flight, the same first and last name must be given as it is in the passport. In the case of air travel, registration should be made no later than 8 weeks before the start of the journey.
10. Guarantee: Mountaineering is an outdoor activity and is therefore linked to the unpredictability of the forces of nature. As a result, we cannot guarantee success in the mountains. The mountain guide alone decides on the feasibility or the termination of a tour or an event for the benefit of the participants.
11. Rental equipment: Loss of or damage to rental equipment will be invoiced by ROCKnSNOW. This also applies to accidentally triggered avalanche airbag backpacks. The material that is made available by us is continuously checked by our guides to ensure that it is in perfect working order.
