The condition for this is that we not be held liable for any injury, damage, loss, accident, delay or other irregularity that may happen due to ground operators’ defect/s, other than liability in terms of section 61 (1) of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA). This may occur in any vehicle or other form of carriage or by error by any company or person engaged in conveying a passenger, while carrying out a tour or participating in any activity. We do however acknowledge that we may be held liable for injury or death due to our error or omission. The airlines concerned cannot be held responsible for any act, omission or event while you are not on board the aircraft. The passenger tickets issued by the airline are the sole contract between the airline and the person who bought those tickets. These tours may be sold in conjunction with the services of any IATA airline. We act only as an agent for the owners, contractors and suppliers of transportation and/or other related travel services provided and assumes no responsibility for the loss or damage to baggage or property or for any injury, illness or death or for any damages or claims whatsoever caused directly or indirectly from accidents, loss or damage to person or property, delays, transport, failure, strikes, wars and uprisings or acts of God over which we have no control. AIR TICKETS – These tickets are linked to contracts (‘Air T&C;’) are very complex and can entail very strict requirements regarding change, airport and departure taxes and cancellation provisions and you MUST inquire about ALL the applicable conditions BEFORE you pay for the ticket. You should also take note that if your flight/itinerary consists of more than one flight/coupon/ticket, you are not allowed to use such tickets/coupons out of sequence or to ‘skip’ one (& e.g. opt for train, bus or car transport) as this will VOID the entire balance of the journey/itinerary. ‘No-shows’ may result in the ticket being voided and/or the Client being charged a cancellation fee Note that the Air T&C; shall constitute the sole contract between the airline and the Client and any right of recourse the Client may have, will be solely against the airline in terms of the Air T&C.; Your rights of recourse as a consequence of over-booking are prescribed by the CPA. Loyalty programs are governed by strict rules of which the Client must be aware and retention of boarding passes and other documentation pertaining to such programs is the sole responsibility of the Client.
