3/MODIFICATIONS FROM THE FAR WEST RANCH
3.1 Cancellation
• Lack of sufficient number of participants. When the minimum number of 2 or 5 participants following the tour is not reached, the service may be canceled at the latest on the day of departure. In this case, the customer is informed by e-mail or telephone. The customer then has the choice between full reimbursement of the sums paid or deferral of the sums paid to another service of their choice. He cannot claim any compensation.
• Due to very unfavorable weather conditions. In this case, the customer will be informed as soon as possible by e-mail or telephone. The customer then has the choice between reimbursement or deferral up to the amount paid for another service of his choice. He cannot then claim any compensatory compensation.
• In the event of force majeure (unforeseeable and insurmountable incidents or events such as: wars, political unrest, strikes, riots, climatic conditions, natural disasters, etc.). The customer then has the choice between reimbursement or deferral up to the amount paid for another service of his choice. He cannot then claim any compensatory compensation.
• The FAR WEST RANCH guide provided for the supervision of the service may cancel the service for any other reasons not making it possible to guarantee the service (injured horses, broken equipment, sick guide). The customer then has the choice between reimbursement or deferral up to the amount paid for another service of his choice. He cannot then claim any compensatory compensation.
3.2 Changes before departure
Before departure, an itinerary, a program and a boarding location may be modified for weather reasons. These details are stipulated in the registration files, on the website and on the online reservation platform. The guide in charge of the service can redefine a route at any time, so that it is in the most sheltered conditions. The participant will therefore not be able to cancel without losing the entire price of the service.
3.3 Modifications during the service
For safety reasons or organizational issues linked in particular to current weather conditions or at group level, the program and itineraries may be subject to modifications. In these cases, only the guide is authorized to make the necessary decision(s), without notice. FAR WEST RANCH may then be required to cover the additional services incurred or to reimburse, except in cases of force majeure, the difference in price between the services planned and those provided.
3.4 Interruption of service:
Any service may also be interrupted by decision of the guide for duly justified reasons (safety, weather). In this case, unless the interruption is due to force majeure, FAR WEST RANCH reimburses the price difference between the services planned and those provided.
3.5 Weight limit
Regarding the authorized weight limit: we have a large number of horses but they are “small horses” for hiking and each can carry a different weight depending on their size. This is why we limit the weight of riders to 90 kg for our strongest horses. It is out of concern for the integrity of our horses that we ask you to be honest on this subject. If the Far West Ranch team realizes that there is an error regarding the weight, your reservation will be canceled and not refunded.
