Your Responsibilities
Suppose you have any medical or psychological conditions. In that case, it is essential that you let us know well before you leave so that we can make additional arrangements if necessary. Trip leaders have the right to disqualify anyone during the trip if they feel the trip member is mentally or physically incapable of continuing and if their continued participation jeopardizes the group's or their safety. Under these circumstances, refunds are not given.
Imperial Expedition is not a medical facility and therefore has no responsibility regarding medical advice, medications, or inoculations that you or your doctor deem necessary for your safe participation. Hospital facilities for serious problems are often unavailable in remote areas, and evacuation or rescue operations can be prolonged, complex, and expensive. Imperial Expedition assumes no liability regarding the provision of medical care. By signing the Release of Liability and Assumption of All Risk Agreement, you agree to pay for emergency evacuation and medical care.
Your participation in this trip suits Imperial Expedition and the other trip members. I want you to know that you are responsible for understanding the conditions in your travel itinerary. You'll need to select a trip (with the help of Imperial Expedition staff) that is appropriate to your interests and abilities. You must prepare for the trip by familiarizing yourself with the trip itinerary and trip preparation materials sent to you by Imperial Expedition. Imperial Expedition staff says you should bring the appropriate gear and clothing. You must obtain all necessary visas for travel. You must follow considerate standards of personal hygiene to reduce the risk of contracting diseases. You'll need to track civil social behavior with the other trip participants and respect their habits and mannerisms. It would help if you acted appropriately and courteously, befitting the customs of the countries you visit. It would help if you respected the countries you travel to by using environmentally safe products, staying on established routes or trails, and not littering.
Imperial Expedition reserves the right to decline, reject or detain any tour participant should such a person's behavior, health, or mental condition impede the operation of the trip.
