Balloon Safaris Ticket Terms and Conditions

Ticket for flight with Company incorporating Booking Conditions, Release, Assumption of Risk and Waiver

Release, Assumption of Risk Waiver
In consideration of the Company now accepting me as a passenger I AGREE that the Conditions of this Ticket printed overleaf shall apply to my flight. I have read these and confirm that I am bound by them.

I am also aware that participation in the flight contains inherent risks of illness, injury, death or loss of or damage to personal property, whether caused by wild animals, forces of nature, human negligence or Acts of God. I recognize that risks may be present at any time during the flight and I am also aware that medical facilities may not be readily available and that such as are available may not always be of the highest standards.

Now in consideration and as part payment for my participating in the Flight organised by the Company, I AGREE on behalf of myself, my personal representatives and of any minors accompanying me, to RELEASE the Company from and not to hold the Company liable for the consequences of any personal injury (fatal or otherwise), accidents, claims, losses and loss or damage to personal property which might occur. I expressly ASSUME any and all risks with respect to the Flight and I WAIVE all rights to sue the Company on account of any injury, accident, claim, loss, liability or damage. I further agree not to claim unenforceability of the Release, Assumption of Risk and Waiver. I confirm that I have received the sheets entitled ‘Passenger Briefing’ and ‘Passenger Further Information Sheet’, that I will read them prior to the flight and if there is anything that I do not understand, I will be responsible for asking the Pilot to clarify any misunderstanding during the morning briefing at the balloon, prior to the flight.

I further acknowledge that if the Company is required to pay evacuation, medical, accommodation and other expenses on my behalf, if these are recoverable from my own insurances, I am liable to reimburse the Company for such expenses.

I declare that I will not take weapons, sharp objects, hazardous or combustible items or pressurized canisters on board the balloon either carried in person or in my luggage and that I have personally packed my luggage.
