Whilst every effort will be made by us to try and arrange your reasonable special requests, we cannot guarantee that they will be fulfilled. The fact that a special request has been noted on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation or that it has been passed on to the supplier is not confirmation that the request will be met.

10. Medical Conditions, Fitness, Kit and Participation Requirements

We will make every effort to inform all declared food allergies and make arrangements accordingly, however we cannot guarantee that all foods will be 100% allergen free.

If you are ill while you are abroad you must consult Lisa Valentine or host leader immediately, local medical assistance and, where appropriate, notify your insurers.
You acknowledge and fully understand the adventurous nature of the trip, that there may be hazards encountered on the trip that would not normally be encountered in the UK and that there is inherent risk associated with travel and trips abroad. It is the sole responsibility of each Student to ensure that they are in good mental and physical health and physically fit enough to embark on their Trip itinerary. Standards of health and hygiene vary from country to country, and are seldom as high as they are in the UK. The trip will be challenging and will include visits to remote areas. There may be risks to health from sources such as, but not restricted to, poor local hygiene, high altitude, heat related illnesses, fatigue, physical injury, and tropical diseases, remoteness from normal medical services, and evacuation difficulties if you are injured.
You therefore agree and accept that you undertake the trip voluntarily and at your own risk and that you have researched the trip destination using such resources as e.g. www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk and www.fco.gov.uk.

Full details of these rights will be publicised at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. If the airline does not comply with these rules you should complain to the Civil Aviation Authority at www.caa.co.uk/passengers. Reimbursement in such cases is the responsibility of the airline and will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your trip price from us. If, for any reason, you do not claim against the airline and make a claim for compensation from us, you must, at the time of payment of any compensation to you, make a complete assignment to us of the rights you have against the airline in relation to the claim that gives rise to that compensation payment. A delay or cancellation to your flight does not automatically entitle you to cancel any other arrangements even where those arrangements have been made in conjunction with your flight.
We cannot accept liability for any delay which is due to any of the reasons set out in clause 6 (Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances) or clause 7 (Force Majeure) of these Booking Conditions (which includes the behaviour of any passenger(s) on any flight who, for example, fails to check in or board on time).
20. Advance Passenger Information
A number of Governments are introducing new requirements for air carriers to provide personal information about all travellers on their aircraft to the authorities before the aircraft leaves the UK. The data will be collected either at the airport when you check in or in some circumstances when, or after you make your booking. Accordingly, you are advised to allow extra time to check in for your flight. Where we collect this data, we will treat it in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
