Terms and Conditions exclusive to Junior Nomad Surf Camps for Teenagers 

 

 

The reservation deposit paid to Nomad Surf Camps is non refundable under any circumstance.

Payment of the reservation deposit can be made by credit card or by bank transfer. 

If you prefer to pay by bank transfer, please contact us for the relevant details.

Please note that any fees or currency conversion charges applied by PayPal, banks, or credit card providers are beyond the control of Nomad Surfers and may vary depending on exchange rate fluctuations.

 

Payment of outstanding balance

The outstanding balance must be paid no later than 30 days prior to arrival, either by bank transfer or credit card.

As we are a multinational company with overseas headquarters, any international bank transfer must arrive in full. This means all bank transfer fees are the responsibility of the sender and cannot be shared or deducted from the payment amount.

If the amount received is less than the total outstanding balance due to bank charges, the difference will need to be paid by credit card.

Please note that if the outstanding balance is not received by the due date, the booking will be cancelled.

 

Cancelling some of the weeks booked

If you have booked more than one week and decide to cancel one or more of the additional weeks (e.g. the 2nd or 3rd week), the deposit for those cancelled weeks will be retained and is non-refundable. This amount cannot be transferred, credited, or used toward payment for any remaining weeks of the booking.

 

Cancelation

If cancelation with less than 30 days there is no refund of amount paid. We strongly advise to get a travel insurance for any unforeseen circumstance.

 

Changing dates or locations

Once a booking is confirmed for a specific surf camp and set of dates, it is considered final. Changes to dates or camp locations are not permitted.

 

Supervision

Our staff will supervise the teens during extra activities, at the surf school area and surf camp area. As soon as the teens leave the accommodation or the area of the activities without permission, it is no longer our responsibility. Parents that sign the Green pass waiver to allow their children to go out on their free time are responsible for their children while they are unaccompanied.

 

Excursion

At some point in all excursions, children are given “free time” for shopping for souvenirs, having a snack, etc., in a designated area. During this time, not all children are with the staff. The following explains our supervision policy on excursions:

 

Always be in groups of a minimum of three children.

All children will be given emergency phone numbers.

Meeting points and times will be established and shown to the children.

The maximum amount of time between meetings will be 90 minutes.

 

If you prefer that he/she be accompanied by a monitor at all times during excursions, please indicate this preference in writing to us before the start of the Camp. If we do not receive your written instructions to the contrary, we will assume you agree with the above supervision policy.

 

Smoking and drinking alcohol

Your children are not allowed to smoke or drink alcohol at any time. This policy is reiterated very clearly to all teens on the first evening of camp. This policy applies to all children at camp, whether or not they are allowed to smoke or drink at home, and whether or not they are legally old enough to smoke or drink in the country of the camp. Should your child smoke or drink alcohol at camp, the camp monitor will contact you immediately to discuss what action he or she feels is appropriate in the specific circumstances.

 

The Camp monitor may feel that a strong warning is more appropriate, on the understanding that a second violation of the rule will result in your child being sent home, at your expense, and there will be no refund. In this case, the camp monitor will look for your support and ask that you explain the situation very clearly to your child by telephone in order that there is no misunderstanding. It is very important that you discuss this policy with your child before he or she travels to camp, in order that he/she fully understands the implications of smoking or drinking alcohol at camp.

 

Possession or use of illegal drugs

Should your child possess or use any drugs at the Camp, other than those prescribed for medical reasons, he/she will be sent home immediately at your expense, and no refund. We reserve the right to also notify the police given the seriousness of this matter.

 

Damage to property

It is important that children treat the property of the Camp and its suppliers with the greatest of care and respect. Any damages resulting from negligence, even if accidental, will be invoiced to the parents or guardians, who, as part of the booking conditions, agree to this stipulation. Where individual guilt cannot be accurately assessed, damages will be shared amongst those involved and families invoiced accordingly. If they lose the room key, they have to pay 10 € for a new one.

 

In case of vandalism, bad behaviour (not respect rules/ not respect other kids or teachers, etc.) the kids will be expelled from the camp next day without the refund for the rest of stay/ and pay the cost of broken property.

 

Insurance

All surf schools have accident insurance required by law in all countries. If anyone gets hurt while surfing they will be taken to hospital and will be treated. This is not a travel insurance so we do recommend travel insurance if travelling to another country. 

 

Images

The participants yield the image rights of the pictures/videos taken while attending the camps, independently anywhere in the world, and expressly authorises Nomad Surfers to its diffusion and reproduction.

 

Making a booking with us will automatically add your email address to our subscribers list to receive further promotions.

The person whose name and other particulars appear below hereby applies to participate in a “Surf Camp Casa Esperanto” conducted by Take Me to Ecuador on the dates indicated on the Take Me to Ecuador website (in this document that person is described as “the Customer”).

 

The Customer making the reservation accepts the responsibility for a booking agreement for themselves and any other parties on the same reservation. By booking on behalf of others, it is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that all other parties are in agreement with these Terms & Conditions.

The Customer acknowledges that there are inherent dangers, apparent and hidden, associated with surfing and associated Surf Camps. The Customer’s participation in the Surf Camp and surfing and other associated activities may involve injury.

 

To the full extent permitted by law, Take Me to Ecuador is excluded from any liability to the Customer and will not be responsible for any loss, damage or injury to the Customer arising from, or connected with, any activity conducted by Take Me to Ecuador, no matter how that loss, damage or injury is caused. In particular, Take Me to Ecuador is not responsible for any loss or damage to a Customer arising from or relating to the Customer’s failure or refusal to obey an instruction from a Take Me to Ecuador instructor, or from any medical, psychological or mental condition of the Customer as of the date of this contract. Furthermore, Take Me to Ecuador is not responsible for loss or damage to the Customer or any of the Customer’s property arising from any negligent act or omission of Take Me to Ecuador or any person for whom Take Me to Ecuador is responsible.

 

Re: Travel insurance, visa and health, every participant is individually obliged to obtain travel insurance that covers medical treatment. The activities offered by Take Me To Ecuador involve a certain risk (even with the presence of instructors/guides), and it is the Customer’s own responsibility to make sure their insurance covers the activities offered by Take Me to Ecuador at the chosen destination. It is the Customer’s own responsibility to bring a valid passport and visa, as well as obtaining the correct vaccinations. Usually, European citizens do not require a visa for visiting Ecuador and will be given a 90-day tourism permit upon arrival. If you are unsure of which vaccinations you need, contact your local medical centre.

 

When booking, it is the Customer’s responsibility to inform Take Me to Ecuador of any health issues that may affect the Customer at the destination, as well as to provide emergency contact information in case of emergency or accident.

 

Take Me to Ecuador reserves the right to make minor changes to the content of the package tour after the booking agreement has been signed, to a degree that is not problematic for the Customer, and as long as the Customer has been notified of the changes as soon as possible. If the Customer does not agree with the proposed changes, the Customer is entitled to cancel the booking, provided the cancellation is made within three days of being notified of the changes.

 

The Customer acknowledges and agrees that Take Me to Ecuador has no control over weather, surf or other physical conditions during any Surf Camp. Take Me to Ecuador is accordingly not liable for any loss, damage or inconvenience to any Customer or Customer’s property arising from all or any of these factors.

Each Customer is solely responsible and liable for the safekeeping of his/her own property. Take Me to Ecuador is not responsible for any loss through theft, breakage or otherwise of any property of any Customer.

 

Take Me to Ecuador reserves the sole and exclusive right to decide whether beach conditions, weather or other factors make any particular activity during a Surf Camp unsafe or inadvisable.

Take Me to Ecuador is not responsible for wave and weather conditions during any Surf Camp and has the right to cancel lessons if wave and weather conditions make it impossible or unsafe to run scheduled lessons. Instructors working for Take Me to Ecuador reserve the right to make decisions on whether conditions are appropriate for lessons and will do their best to reschedule any missed lessons at another time during the Surf Camp.

 

Re: cancellation due to force majeure, the Customer has the right to cancel the package tour with a full refund if the travel destination or its immediate proximity has been exposed to acts of war, natural disasters, contagious diseases or other circumstances considered equal to the aforementioned circumstances, or if it is reasonable to believe that such circumstances will be occurring when the package tour is set to commence.

 

During the period of travel or the tour, the right of cancellation also applies if circumstances change to present a real risk to the Customer. In this case, a refund would be issued on a pro rata basis for the days that the Customer is prevented from using Take Me to Ecuador’s services.

 

The right of cancellation is not valid if the Customer knew, or should have known, of the force majeure circumstances when he/she engaged in the agreement of purchase of the package tour. No refund is offered after the start of the tour if the Customer decides to discontinue the tour for personal reasons and not due to force majeure, as described in the previous paragraph.

Take Me to Ecuador reserves the right to cancel a tour if 1) there are not enough participants signed up for the tour; 2) the conditions at the destination make it inadvisable to travel due to risk to the Customer’s life and health; 3) force majeure conditions arise that were impossible to foresee when the agreement was entered into, and which make it difficult or unadvisable to execute the tour.

 

In case of cancellation, Take Me to Ecuador is obliged to inform the Customer in writing as soon as it becomes clear that conditions make cancellation necessary. A cancellation entitles the Customer to a full refund.

 

If Take Me to Ecuador deems it necessary, a package tour in progress can be cancelled or changed. In the case of cancellation, the Customer has the right to a pro rata refund. In the case of changes to a tour in progress, the Customer will be informed of the refund policy for the specific destination and given the choice to cancel the tour or accept the proposed changes.

If Take Me to Ecuador supplies a Customer with equipment, Take Me to Ecuador provides no guarantee regarding the condition or suitability of the equipment, but will do its best to ensure that adequate equipment is made available. The Customer will pay for all damage to equipment provided by Take Me to Ecuador.

The Customer must obey all directions and instructions from the staff of Take Me to Ecuador and must not disturb other participants or interfere with instructors’ ability to conduct the Surf Camp in a safe and secure manner.

 

Customers must not damage, deface or remove any object from any beach or any of the equipment being used at the Surf Camp.

No Customer is permitted to bring any drug or alcohol to the Surf Camp without the express prior written permission of Take Me to Ecuador.

Customers must be able to swim, at least 18 years of age, of sound mind and in good health. Take Me to Ecuador reserves the absolute right at its sole discretion to require any Customer to undergo any test to assess whether the Customer is capable of participating in the Surf Camp.
