About these terms
These terms apply to every trip booked with Meridian Pine. When we confirm your booking in writing, these terms form part of the agreement between you and us. Please read them before you pay a deposit.
Bookings
A request is not a booking. Your place is held once you have confirmed in writing and paid the deposit. The booking is made by the lead contact for the group, who agrees to these terms on behalf of everyone named on it.
Each trip page sets a minimum and maximum group size. We may cancel a departure that does not reach its minimum, and we will tell you as early as we can.
Prices
Prices are per person, in US dollars, and are shown on the trip page. A price includes only what the trip page lists as included. We confirm the final price on your invoice.
We may change prices before you pay the deposit. We will not raise the price of a booking you have confirmed, except for an official government charge, such as a new permit fee, that we must pass on. We will tell you in writing if this happens.
Payments
You pay a deposit of 30 per cent of the trip price when you confirm. The balance is due 60 days before departure. If you book less than 60 days before departure, the full amount is due when you confirm.
You can pay by bank transfer or through our secure online payment link. Please quote your booking reference with every payment. We cannot confirm a place until the money reaches us.
Changes to your trip
We plan each trip carefully, but mountains are unpredictable. Your guide may change the route, the order of days or the stay when weather, road conditions, safety or local rules require it. We will give you the nearest equivalent and will not cut the trip short without good reason.
If you want to change your own booking, such as the dates or the number of people, ask us in writing. We will confirm whether the change is possible and what it costs.
Our liability
We take care to run every trip safely and to the standard described on our website. We are not liable for loss, injury, delay or extra costs caused by events outside our control, such as severe weather, landslides, road closures, illness, strikes or the actions of airlines and other providers.
Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law.
Insurance
You must hold travel insurance that covers the activities, altitude and emergency rescue of your trip. We ask you to send us your policy number before departure. We cannot accept a booking without it where the trip requires cover.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, United States. Any dispute will be dealt with in the courts of Boulder County, Colorado.
