BE AWARE THAT:
You acknowledge and agree that by participating in this tour with HGL (HOST), I am doing so willingly and of my own volition. I understand that travel to Africa may entail risks (and rewards) above and beyond those encountered in travel to other destinations. That while traveling with HOST, and or any third party contracted by HOST for the purpose of this travel, at any time, in Ghana I do hereby hold harmless the Host, their officers, staff, agents and members, in perpetuity, from any liability for any acts, actions, causes of action, covenants or agreements in law or equity whatsoever arising from said trip, including but not limited to voluntarily riding a camel or any other animal indigenous to the country of travel; traveling by water; acts of war or insurgency perpetrated against said country and its citizens; illness from any disease or epidemic inside the foreign country.
You Acknowledge the risk and hazards of travel in remote areas where injury, delay or unanticipated events may occur. By signing this statement, I accept responsibility for my own welfare and waive any future claims against the HOST and negligent acts of third parties for liability, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
You understand that I am undertaking travel to remote geographical areas located in lesser developed countries where, among other things, a sense of urgency, attention to detail, standards of quality, hygiene, political stability, cuisine, sanitation facilities, cleanliness, level of infrastructural development, telecommunications facilities, methods of conducting business, medical evacuation, etc., may be deemed unsatisfactory and/or not equivalent to those found in the industrialized nations. I also understand that the normal level of medical treatment and services, including the presence of a physician or any other trained medical professionals and/or availability of prescription type drugs, may not be possible. I accept the fact that as an integral part of travel to the destinations chosen, the following situations may occur: delay; partial or complete changes in timing or routing of itinerary; changes in grades of lodging; modes or quality of air, land, and/or sea transport. I understand that in most, if not all, instances these situations are due to geographical, physical, governmental, or other restrictions beyond the reasonable control of HOST
You understand that in the event that situations like the foregoing arise during my trip, HOST may have to make last-minute changes to address the changed circumstances (the “Decisions”). I agree to release HOST from any and all liability whatsoever in connection with the Decisions, provided they are entered into at the time by HOST with a good faith business justification. I understand and agree that HOST cannot and does not guarantee a verbatim compliance with the itineraries that have been furnished to me.
As parent/guardian of the minor child you do hereby give permission for the said child to accompany HOST to Africa and do hereby authorize and permit the said minor child to receive general, emergency or life saving medical treatment as deemed necessary and required by any professional medical staff and program staff.
