COVID-19 DETAILS
All bookings currently held with us are still under our current Terms and Conditions and Payment and Refunds Policy (below).
In light of the current COVID-19 situation we know that many people are hesitant about paying deposits and settling balance payments for expeditions and courses in the future. For any bookings made or policies taken out after March 11th 2020, insurance providers are no longer providing cancellation cover for COVID-19. We are responding by removing the need for you to have this coverage.
The following amendments apply to all new bookings with SAIL4Purpose from August 1st 2021 either until December 31st 2021 or until COVID-19 insurance restrictions are lifted.
1. COVID-19 Deposits
All deposits are 10% as normal and shall be paid to SAIL4Purpose at the time of booking.
2. COVID-19 Cancellation Policy
- If the Expedition has to be cancelled by SAIL4Purpose anytime due to on-going restrictions of COVID-19 you will be offered an alternative date or equivalent trip in the future. If this does not suit you, then we will refund all payments made to us in respect of your trip.
- If the booking has to be cancelled by the client more than 60 days prior the departure, SAIL4Purpose will offer an alternative date or equivalent trip in the future; and if it does not suit the client, then we will refund 100% of all payments made to us in respect of the trip.
- If the booking has to be cancelled by the client between 30 days and 60 days prior to the departure, SAIL4Purpose will refund 50% of all payments made to us in respect of the trip.
- If the booking has to be cancelled by the client less than 30 days prior the departure, SAIL4Purpose will refund 25% of all payments made to us in respect of the trip.
- In all these situations, when the client has to cancel his trip with SAIL4Purpose, it will be the client’s responsibility to transmit to SAIL4Purpose proper professional documentation from a third party to prove the cancellation was due to COVID-19 solely. Otherwise, the normal cancellation conditions will apply.

No fees will be imposed by the Company for this change PROVIDED THAT the Company shall not be liable for any increases in costs relating to services not directly provided by the Company (eg., Air- travel re-ticketing, insurance, baggage surcharge, etc.).
Surcharges
Prices on our website that are not quoted in local currency are based on a recent currency conversion rate, and are not reflective of our costs. The Company reserves the right to change the trip costs to take account of the following items : Fluctuations in currency exchange rates which adversely affect our costs, an increase in Government taxes on our goods or services we provide, including an increase in the cost of fuel. The Company will not be liable for any excess air-travel charges, airport charges and increases in scheduled air-fares (where applicable).

Insurance
The Client agrees to take out appropriate travel insurance whilst on a trip organized by the Company. The Client agrees that it is mandatory that this travel insurance covers adequate personal accident, medical, evacuation and repatriation expenses, as well as cancellation, curtailment, loss of personal effects and all other expenses that might arise as a result of loss, damage, injury, delay or inconvenience occurring to the client. Clients, together with their personal property including baggage, are at all times solely at their own risk. Clients are wholly responsible for arranging their own insurance. When purchasing insurance, the client is responsible to ensure that there are no exclusion clauses limiting protection for the type of activities in their trip.
Passport, Visa and Vaccinations
It is the responsibility of the Client to be in possession of and bring a valid passport (minimum of 3 months remaining before expiry), visa permits, inoculations and preventative medicines as may be required for the duration of the trip. Information about these matters or related items is given in good faith but without responsibility on the part of the Company.
Responsibility and Conduct
The Client acknowledges that participating in our trips requires a degree of flexibility, and understands that the itinerary of a trip, accommodation and modes of transport are subject to change without prior notice due to circumstances beyond the control of the Company. Should the Company deem it advisable to amend an itinerary for any reason, it may do so by shortening, varying or re-routing any trip. The client will be bound by these changes, and will not hold the Company liable for any loss of enjoyment that may result from such changes. While travelling with the Company, the client will be bound to accept the authority of the leader and/or local operator at all times. You are aware that travel within a group may involve compromise to accommodate the diverse desires and physical abilities of group members. The Client submits to the authority of the Company to decline, accept, or retain any person as a member of the group at any time, if the Company believes it is acting in the interests of the group as a whole. Further the Client agrees to conduct themselves in a safe and respectful manner at all times both with regard to the Company and with regard to the residents of the places we travel to. In particular, drunkeness will not be tolerated at any time and the Company reserves the right to refuse boarding the boat should the Client arrive in an intoxicated state and/or reserves the right to eject the Client at the earliest convenience should the client become intoxicated and/or conduct themselves in a dangerous and/or disrespectful manner. The Client acknowledges that in such circumstances no refund will be given and furthermore agrees to cover all expenses that result from the Company having to relocate the client if necessary. The Client acknowledges that the Company contracts with a network of companies, government agencies and individuals to assist in the running of its trips. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, these third parties are qualified to perform the duties they are contracted to perform. However, the Company will not be held liable for any injury including death, damage, loss, financial loss, delay or irregularity that may occur due to the behaviour of these third parties. The Company will not accept responsibility or liability for any client who contravenes any law or regulation of any country visited. No employee, contractor, sub-contractor, servant or agent of the Company has authority to vary these conditions. This agreement is governed by the laws of Indonesia.
Dangers
Travelling with the Company may involve risks above and beyond those encountered on a more conventional holiday. The vacations we offer may involve dangerous activities including road travel, boat travel in ocean swells, trekking, diving, snorkelling, spearfishing, surfing in large swells, and other activities. All of which have inherent dangers that can result in serious injury including death. Our employment of surf guides can by way of experience and knowledge endeavour to reduce some of these risks but the risks remain inherent in the activities. You must be prepared to accept the risks associated with these activities if you attend our trips. Our vacations may also involve dangers due to the remoteness of the Indonesian Islands we travel to. We visit some geographical regions where, among other things, the standard of accommodation, transport, safety, hygiene, cleanliness, medical facilities, telecommunications, and infrastructure may not be of the standard that you are used to or would find on a more conventional holiday. The safety of roads and standard of driving practices may also be lower in some of these regions relative to what you are accustomed to. Although we do our utmost to ensure that our drivers adhere to local driving laws and drive carefully and safely, we cannot guarantee your safety while driving with us and the Company will not be held liable for any loss resulting from road accidents or boat accident that occur during your travels with us. By agreeing to these terms and conditions you accept the risks outlined in the above paragraphs and fully assume the risks of travelling with the Company. You agree to release the Company from any liabilities connected to these risks. NOTE: The client is also responsible to disclose to SAIL4Purpose any existing medical conditions, allergies, or any other related conditions or physical or mental limitations that could affect their personal safety or the safety of others during their expedition. If death or injury results from any existing medical condition either disclosed or undisclosed, in any case, to any party on or off the vessel, SAIL4Purpose will not be held liable for damages, injury, or loss of life.
