An adventure trip is always a challenge and always brings with it a certain potential danger due to external influences as well as your own behavior. Our goal with this preface is: Before booking, we want to make it clear to each participant that no challenge is possible without a challenge and a jolted measure of dangers, as well as the assistance in cooking, rinsing and clearing of vehicles, etc. of course! We carry out our travels on a partly very high experience and adventure level with humans and for humans. Teamwork should not be a problem for you as a participant.

Specified transfer and flight times are, unless unreasonably intervened in an agreed night's sleep, subject to a change. For air travel, the airlines named by name are subject to change unless a specific airline has been expressly contracted.
3.2 An explanation of changes to travel services can only be made prior to departure. OVERCROSS is obligated to immediately notify the traveler about changes to the knowledge of the reason for the change on a durable medium. In the event of a significant contract change, OVERCROSS also informs about the effects of the changes on the travel price in accordance with § 651g III p. 2 BGB. Substantial changes can not be made without the consent of the traveler. Reference is made to the regulations of §651f and g BGB.

To change tourist taxes, airport charges, port charges or any change in exchange rates applicable to the trip in question, as follows:

4.2 If the traveler withdraws from the travel contract (cancellation) or does not commence the journey, OVERCROSS loses the claim to the travel price, but may demand flat-rate compensation in accordance with § 651h II BGB. The compensation claim is calculated taking into account the following compensation flat rates.
The cancellation fee is therefore per traveler:

From 45th day to 21 days before departure 75%

If the damage to OVERCROSS is less, or if the lump sums are inapplicable, OVERCROSS will calculate its damage in concrete terms by calculating the compensation according to the travel price minus the value of the expenses saved by OVERCROSS and less what OVERCROSS acquires through the use of the travel services. In the event of withdrawal, OVERCROS is obliged to immediately refund the travel price less the claim for compensation.
The start of your journey is also the premature arrival to travel start or the shipment of vehicles or equipment materials.

OVERCROSS must provide the travel customer with proof of the additional costs incurred by the replacement traveler.
