ALL OUR TOURS ARE UNDERTAKEN ON THE PARTICIPANTS’ OWN RESPONSIBILITY, I.E.: MY ICELAND GUIDE DOES NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS, ACCIDENTS, DAMAGE, (DAMAGE OR) SICKNESS THAT MIGHT OCCUR DURING OUR TOURS, OR THAT ARE CAUSED BY ITS (OUR) CUSTOMERS, OR CAN BE TRACED TO THEIR OWN ACTIONS. THE SAME APPLIES FOR ANY CHANGES IN TOUR (OUR) SCHEDULE DUE TO WEATHER, STRIKES OR ANY OTHER IRREGULARITY OUTSIDE MY ICELAND GUIDE’S CONTROL.
General Conditions
My Iceland Guide reserves the right to alter routes, itineraries or departure times, without prior notice, should the necessity arise. Any extra charges that are incurred due to change in flights (domestic and international) must be covered by the client (you), at the time the service is provided (e.g. extra hotel nights, meals, transfers etc). We therefore strongly advise all clients to have insurance.
Liability
My Iceland Guide reserves the right to alter routes, arrange alternative carriers and/or re-schedule or cancel tours if external conditions become a threat to the safety of its travellers (our clients), including adverse weather, road conditions, or mechanical issues. No refunds will be given in these circumstances or in the event of any delay, curtailment or alteration of a trip resulting from any cause.
Delays may occur for unforeseen reasons. No responsibility is taken for losses or expenses incurred due to delay or changes of flights, injury, damaged, negligence, weather, war or other foreseeable causes. The estimated duration of tours as indicated on our website are standard times and can vary according to road or weather conditions. Punctuality is a key objective in My Iceland Guide‘s operation. The company cannot be made responsible for losses that a passenger may face due to delay, regardless (of) whether the loss is direct or indirect.
Forces of Nature
In case of natural hazards such as volcanic eruption, earthquake, flood, bad weather or any other forces of nature My Iceland Guide reserves the right to change the itinerary, and refunds or other options will be given. Components of our tours are weather dependent and we cannot be held liable if they are unavailable on the day of travel.
