PRICES AND PAYMENT
We reserve the right to change prices due to increased costs of goods, services, taxes, and fees or other costs that are controlled by external parties.
We strive to be a cash-free business and therefore encourage and thank our guests to use electronic payment solutions, as this is the safest way for our guests to travel. We encourage payment by credit card. We accept Mastercard, Visa, and American Express. If the customer wishes to pay by cash only Norwegian Krone – NOK is accepted. Cheques and or traveler’s cheques are not accepted.
Any credit must be agreed upon and accepted in advance. Our terms of payment for credit are 10 days net. Payment information for our hotels and 62° NORD is in the table below, the same information will also be shown on any invoice.
ADVANCED PAYMENT
We reserve the right to request prepayment.
DAMAGE
The guests are financially responsible for any damage to hotel rooms, fixtures, or other equipment caused.
FORCE MAJEURE
If circumstances that are beyond our control such as strikes, fires, extreme weather, and other events cause your stay or activity not to be carried out, we reserve the right to cancel your stay or activity without being responsible for payment of compensation. In general, bad weather is considered normal and does not give the customer the right to cancel or change any booking.
INSURANCE
We advise all guests to take out cancellation insurance with an insurance company, to cover themselves for cancellation due to illness. In addition, it is recommended that all guests have valid travel insurance.
BOAT TRIPS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES WITHOUT ACCOMMODATION
62° NORD reserves the right to change or cancel trips due to unforeseen issues with equipment or crew – as well as bad weather. When weather dictates the originally planned route is not safe, 62° NORD reserves the right to cancel the trip on the advice of the boat operator. Alternatively, the boat operator can change the route to ensure that the participants have an enjoyable and safe experience. Changes to the route due to weather conditions are no grounds for a refund or price reduction.
All participants are responsible for their own physical and psychological condition, bearing in mind the nature of these trips. RIB trips take place at high speed and in challenging water conditions and do involve an element of risk. RIB tours are not recommended for pregnant women and people who have conditions that can worsen when traveling in the conditions described above. All participants of RIB tours must sign a waiver clause stating their participation is at their own risk and responsibility.
Participants must always abide by the instructions given by the boat operator; the operator has authority on the boat that he/she leads. The operator has the authority to deny any person’s participation in the tour if they consider there to be a safety risk – this can be related to health, physical condition, being under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or if they act in a way which is a nuisance to other participants.
Use of and taking personal equipment/items on boat trips, such as cameras, mobile phones, bags, jewelry, glasses, etc. is at the participant’s own risk.
Participants must arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time, in order to have time to change into the life suit and other safety clothing. We recommend the use of practical waterproof shoes and warm clothing; hats and gloves if the temperature dictates. Also recommended is waterproof protection for mobile phones and camera equipment if the participants wish to take them on board.
Late arrival may result in a shorter tour or missing the tour altogether. The tour must still be paid in full and no refunds will be given.
LEGAL MATTERS
Any disagreement between parties that cannot be resolved without the use of court proceedings, the jurisdiction is a court in Norway and its decision will be final.
We reserve the right to make any changes to the terms of a single event or period – the hotel or contractor will provide information on this.
