10. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS 

It is the Client’s entire responsibility to obtain information and to have in his possession all the time during the tour all required documentation and identification documents required for entry, departure, and travel to each country or region visited or traveled throughout the itinerary of the applicable Product tour, and for re-entry to the Client’s country of residence or departure, as well as for all immigration, passport, visas, health, quarantine and customs laws, regulations, orders, demands, certificates including vaccination certificates* or other requirements of countries visited or transited. You should check the requirements of those countries with their embassies or consulates or other authorities. The Client accepts full responsibility for obtaining all such documents, visas, and permits prior to the start of the Product tour and is solely responsible for any adverse consequences resulting from missing or defective documentation. The client agrees that he is responsible for the full amount of any loss or expense suffered or paid by Plitvice Outdoor d.o.o.  which is a direct result of the Client’s failure to secure proper travel documentation. The Agency provides services in the Republic of Croatia and surrounding countries depending on the Product. In the event that a part of the services of specially ordered arrangements takes place in the neighboring countries of the Republic of Croatia, the agency will inform the client directly in writing, if additional documentation is required. 

11. REQUIRED MEDICAL INFORMATION 

The client should provide any medical information reasonably requested by Plitvice Outdoor d.o.o. Clients are responsible for assessing their own capability to participate in the tour Product such Client has booked. All Clients should consult their physician regarding their fitness for travel, and adventure travel in particular. Plitvice Outdoor d.o.o.  encourages all Clients to seek their physician’s advice regarding necessary or advisable vaccinations, medical precautions, or other medical concerns regarding the entirety of the Client’s travel with Plitvice Outdoor d.o.o. Plitvice Outdoor d.o.o.  does not provide medical advice. Certain Products may not be suitable for all people due to restrictions posed by limitations in mobility, physical or cognitive disability, pregnancy, or various other physical or mental conditions. It is the Client’s responsibility to assess the risks and requirements of each Product considering such Client’s limitations, physical and mental fitness and condition, and any medical requirements or issues of such Client. Plitvice Outdoor d.o.o.  may refuse to carry pregnant women over 20 weeks or Clients with certain conditions, if suitable accommodation or alternate Products or services cannot be arranged. Adventure travel, as offered by Plitvice Outdoor d.o.o. , by its nature involves visiting remote areas and regions, where medical facilities may not meet the standards of those found in a Client’s home country. The condition of medical facilities in Croatia varies and Plitvice Outdoor d.o.o.  makes no representations and gives no warranties in relation to the standard of such facilities or medical treatment in those regions. 

12. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS 

Plitvice Outdoor d.o.o.  will endeavor to meet the special requests of Clients, including (without limitation) dietary (food allergies and dietary restrictions) and accommodation requests, but such requests do not form part of these Terms or the contract between Client and Plitvice Outdoor d.o.o.  and Plitvice Outdoor d.o.o.  is not liable for any failure to fulfill such requests.

13. TRAVEL INSURANCE 

We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance from your country (including trip delay, trip cancellation, trip interruption, baggage, personal effects, loss, or theft of money insurance) once a trip has been booked. Health, accident, and emergency evacuation insurance are also strongly recommended. If you wish Agency can provide/offer you a Travel insurance package from one of the Croatian Insurance companies. The Agency does not accept liability if the person is not properly insured for their journey. Without appropriate travel insurance, Customer understands and agrees that if Customer cancels or interrupts Customer’s travel for any reason, portions of the trip/tour may not be refunded and Plitvice Outdoor d.o.o.  and travel suppliers’ cancellation penalties will apply resulting in the loss of monies up to the full cost of Customer’s travel booking and related costs. The purchase of travel insurance is not required in order to purchase any other product or service offered by Plitvice Outdoor d.o.o. The Client acknowledges that the cost of the tour does not include any insurance coverage for such Client and that the Client is required to obtain separate coverage at an additional cost to the Product tour price. When obtaining travel insurance, the Client must ensure the insurer is aware of the type of travel to be undertaken so that the insurer may properly cover travel on the applicable Plitvice Outdoor d.o.o. Product. 

14. CLIENT’S ACCEPTANCE OF RISK 

The Client acknowledges that the nature of Product Tours is adventurous and may involve a significant amount of risk to Client’s health and/or safety. There are dangers inherent to adventure travel generally and the Client acknowledges they have considered such risks to health and safety and are willing to assume it to the full extent legally possible, by confirming their booking of such Product. 

The Client hereby assumes all such risk and does hereby release Plitvice Outdoor d.o.o.  from all claims and causes of action arising from any losses, damages or injuries, or death resulting from these risks inherent in travel, including adventure travel specifically, visiting foreign destinations, and participating in adventurous activities such as those included in Product itineraries. Standards of hygiene, accommodation, and transport are determined according to the national classification of standards of the country where Product tours take place. 

The Client has the right to ask for Risk assessment and safety talk which are visible next to the price list on every destination Plitvice Outdoor provides one-day trips.

If the Client fails to comply with the above or commits any illegal act when on the tour or, if in the opinion of the Plitvice Outdoor d.o.o.  (acting reasonably), the Client’s behavior is causing or is likely to cause danger, distress, or material annoyance to others, Plitvice Outdoor d.o.o.  may terminate that Client’s travel arrangements on any Product immediately without any liability on Plitvice Outdoor d.o.o.  part and the Client will not be entitled to any refund for unused or missed services or costs incurred resulting from the termination of the travel arrangements, including, without limitation, return travel, accommodations, meals, and/or incidentals.

Third-Party Suppliers may also engage the services of other local operators and/or sub-contractors for the provision of travel services that form part of the product Tour(s). Although Plitvice Outdoor d.o.o.  takes all reasonable care in selecting Third Party Suppliers, Plitvice Outdoor d.o.o.  is unable to control Third Party Suppliers and do not supervise Third Party Suppliers and therefore cannot be responsible for their acts or omissions.

These may limit or exclude the liability of the supplier.
