Terms and Conditions

I have read and understand that there are limits to the liability of Xpand Yachts based upon the fact that I will be visiting a foreign country with its own laws and customs and Xpand Yachts will be engaging subcontractors on my behalf.

I hereby confirm that I have read and understand the following:

It is hereby understood that the standard of care of Xpand Yachts is limited to that of an ordinary retreat operator to make reasonable inquiries as to the reliability and reputation of any sub-contractors or agents. 

I understand that Xpand Yachts has the right to cancel this retreat if not enough spots are sold in order to run the trip. If Xpand cancels the trip you will be entitled to a full refund. 

I hereby confirm that I assume the normal risks of travel to my intended destinations and participation in the activities I am seeking, I confirm that accidents, property damage, serious bodily injuries, and fatalities can occur during adventure travel and confirm that any recourse I may have therefore will lie only directly against the airlines, hotels, inns, restaurants, travel agencies, transportation providers, tour guides, visited sites or other contracted entities and employees or associates thereof. 

I understand that if I chose to travel in the ocean, on highways, railways, roads, or streets I do so at my own risk and release Xpand Yachts from liability for any damages, injuries, or death that might occur to me or anyone else. Knowing that risks exist I hereby release and save harmless Xpand Yachts, it’s employees, agents, and volunteers, from any liability whatsoever in relation to the arrangements and my participation in the programs or tours arranged PROVIDED HOWEVER THAT nothing in this document relieves the liability of any contractor with whom I have directly contracted or Xpand Yachts has contracted on my behalf, notwithstanding that the arrangement was facilitated by Xpand Yachts OR relieves Xpand Yachts from liability arising from deliberate acts by their employees or fraud or theft by them.

I understand that I am responsible to place and must have in place insurance for overseas health care for sickness or injury, trip cancellation and emergency repatriation to my home and confirm that I will make no misrepresentation respecting the status of my current health to my insurer.

Valid Passport: The Client must be in possession of a valid passport required for entry, departure and travel through each destination point along the itinerary of the tour, (passport must be valid 6 months past the return date), all visas, permits and certificates including vaccination certificates, insurance policies, required for the whole of the journey. 

I accept full responsibility for obtaining all such documents, visas and permits prior to the start of the retreat, and am solely responsible for any adverse consequences resulting from missing or defective documentation. Any information or advice given by the Company regarding visas, vaccinations, climate, clothing, baggage, special equipment, etc. is purely advisory, provided as a courtesy to the Client, and the Company is not responsible for any errors or omissions as to the information provided by third parties such as the appropriate governmental authorities.

I understand that Xpand Yachts is not responsible for any possessions that I take on my tour, that they may be at risk and acknowledge that I have been advised to minimize the value of possessions and to acquire insurance for the loss or theft of valuable possessions and that my standard homeowner coverage is likely inapplicable. (i.e., Leave the diamonds, gold, cash, important hard-drive data and superfluous camera lenses at home.)

I understand that there are strict laws at my intended destination respecting possession of banned substances or participation in inappropriate conduct, I agree to abide by the laws of the land, and understand that Xpand Yachts has a zero tolerance policy for breaches of local laws which will result in immediate termination of our arrangement following which Xpand Yachts will have no further responsibility for me or further obligation to provide services and I will be on my own.

I understand that my deposit is non-refundable but can be used towards any retreat in the future (Lifetime Deposit). In regards to the lifetime deposit, if you cancel more than two retreats it becomes null & void.

I also understand that Xpand Yachts reserves the right to cancel any trip or make any changes to itineraries, departure dates or return dates without refund occasioned by circumstances that arise that make the booking impossible which are out of Xpand Yachts control by the actions or policies of subcontractors including partners of Xpand Yachts, airlines, occasioned by dangerous weather, natural disasters, war or insurrection.

Xpand Yachts may collect still and video images of you during the course of your holiday for advertising and promotional purposes. By booking through Xpand Yachts, you agree that such images may be collected and used by Xpand Yachts however Xpand Yachts sees fit, including commercial use and sale of the images. The images may be cropped, altered, combined, or otherwise edited. You also agree that Xpand Yachts will retain ownership of all rights in connection with such images. If you do not wish to be on camera/video, then bring this to the attention of Xpand Yachts by sending an email to brady@xpandyachts.com before the commencement of your retreat. This should include the name and contact details of the person who does not wish to be photographed or videoed along with your booking number and contact details.
