Unless indicated to the contrary, the following applies: The deposit is non refundable. If cancelled 6 month before the hunt, the deposit can be carried forward to the next calendar year, at the current price for that year. Cancellation less than 4 month before the hunt will result in a charge of 100% of the hunt.

In this case, the ticket is the property of the customer, regardless of whether or not the customer cancels the rest of the arrangement.
CANCELLATION INSURANCE
The customer is responsible for taking out their own sickness cancellation insurance through a travel insurance company such as travelguard.com or ripcord.com.
Such policies cover the customer's costs in the event of cancellation if participation in the trip is made impossible or hindered significantly on the grounds of death or serious illness/injury requiring admission to hospital, best ordered by a doctor or comparable cases relating to the customer him/herself, his/her spouse/co-habitué, parents, parents-in-law, children, grandchildren, siblings, grandparents, brother/sister-in-law or travel companion.
The customer is responsible for paying their own costs in the event of sickness, admission to hospital etc. during the trip. Therefore, it is recommended that the customer takes out travel insurance to cover these and other costs in the event of an accident or death, treatment for illness, transportation home and loss or damage to baggage. Your insurance must also cover the full cost for a expedition hunt in Greenland, including rescue by helicopter.
Greenland Outfitters cannot be held liable for supplying the activities in case of acts of god (force majeure).
