M2北极之旅条款

旅行组织方：（以下简称“组织方”）

参与者：（以下简称“参与者”）  

为明确前往加拿大育空地区及西北地区的极限旅行权利义务，双方自愿达成以下协议：

A. 旅行概述

1. 旅行性质：本次旅行为前往加拿大育空地区（Yukon）及西北地区（Northwest Territories）的极限非常规旅行。探索极地、观赏极光。旅行涉及极寒气候、偏远地带及原始自然环境，居住条件较简陋，餐饮具有挑战性，不同于城市化标准。  

2. 参与者在同意本协议前已充分了解旅行性质，自愿参与。（若对酒店或餐饮有城市化标准要求，如连锁酒店或精致餐饮，请勿报名或同意本协议）

B. 行程安排

1. 行程计划：具体行程由组织方提供，参与者应提前阅读并确认。行程可能涉及极地探索、北冰洋冰原大道穿越和极光观赏等活动。  

2. 不可抗力条款：因自然灾害（如暴风雪、冰面断裂）、野生动物威胁、加拿大政府禁令或极地天气变化等不可抗力因素导致行程无法继续，组织方保留更改行程、延期或取消的权利。具体调整方案由组织方决定，参与者无权要求原计划强制执行。 若因不可抗力取消旅行，已支付费用将在扣除不可退还的实际成本（如育空或西北地区的交通预订费、许可费）后退还，退款将在30个工作日内完成。

C. 住宿与餐饮

1. 住宿条件：受育空及西北地区资源限制，住宿可能为当地小型旅馆、木屋，部分地点可能需共享大床(queen size bed 2m x 1.5m)。小概率情况下，某些夜晚单人报名者需要和团友拼床，双人报名者需要共享一张床。住宿的安排是为了最美的风景，比如极光，参与者理解并接受此安排。  

2. 餐饮安排：餐饮以适应极寒环境为原则（如高热量冷冻食品或野外简易烹饪），可能无法满足个性化需求。参与者需自备路途饮食，组织方将组织采买准备，给予技术指导。晚餐和早餐均有餐厅提供热餐，费用需自理。

D. 费用与支付

1. 旅行费用：总费用包括（5人一辆大型SUV、住宿、部分餐饮、向导费用等），未包括（往返机票、个人消费、签证费用、旅行保险等）。

  • 因组织方原因取消旅行（不可抗力除外），全额退款。

E. 责任与风险

1. 风险告知：本次旅行具有低危险性，包括但不限于极寒天气（气温可能低至-20°C）导致交通中断等。参与者需自行评估身体状况并承担相应风险。  

2. 保险要求：参与者须自行购买涵盖极加拿大北部医疗救援的保险，并在出发前向组织方提供保险证明。 如需加拿大境内购买， 组织方可帮助寻找保险公司。

3. 责任划分：  

  • 组织方对因自身过失导致的损失应承担相应责任。  
  • 参与者因个人行为（如不遵守向导指示或擅自行动）导致的后果，由其自行承担，组织方不负责任。

F. 育空及西北地区特别要求

1. 签证与入境：参与者需自行办理加拿大签证（如ETA或旅游签证），并确保符合加拿大边境服务署（CBSA）入境要求。组织方可提供行程证明但不负责签证申请。  

2. 环保与法律：参与者须遵守育空及西北地区的环保法规（如不留垃圾、不干扰野生动物），并尊重原住民社区（如因纽特人或第一民族）的文化习俗。违反者自行承担法律后果。  

3. 紧急救援：育空及西北地区地广人稀，救援成本极高，参与者需确保保险覆盖此类费用。  

4. 装备要求：参与者需自备或租赁符合极寒环境的装备（如羽绒服、保暖鞋），具体清单由组织方提供。

G. 其他约定

1. 行为规范：参与者应遵守组织方及加拿大北部向导安排，不得擅自离队或从事危险活动（如擅自穿越冰面）。

English Version:

Travel Organizer: (hereinafter referred to as the "Organizer")

Participant: (hereinafter referred to as the "Participant")

To clarify the rights and obligations regarding the extreme travel expedition to the Yukon and Northwest Territories in Canada, both parties voluntarily agree to the following terms:

A. Travel Overview

  1. Nature of the Trip: This is an extreme, unconventional expedition to the Yukon and Northwest Territories of Canada, focusing on polar exploration and aurora viewing. The trip involves extremely cold climates, remote locations, and a pristine natural environment. Accommodations are basic, and dining conditions may be challenging, differing from urban standards.

  2. Before agreeing to this contract, the Participant fully understands the nature of the trip and voluntarily joins. (If the Participant requires urban-level hotel or dining standards, such as chain hotels or gourmet meals, they should not sign up or agree to this contract.)

B. Itinerary

  1. Trip Plan: The itinerary is provided by the Organizer, and the Participant should review and confirm it in advance. Activities may include polar exploration, crossing the Arctic Ocean Ice Road, and aurora viewing.

  2. Force Majeure Clause: If the trip cannot continue due to natural disasters (such as blizzards or ice breakage), wildlife threats, Canadian government restrictions, or sudden polar weather changes, the Organizer reserves the right to modify, postpone, or cancel the itinerary. The Participant cannot demand the original plan to be enforced.

    • If the trip is canceled due to force majeure, the payment will be refunded after deducting non-refundable actual costs (e.g., transportation booking fees and permits in Yukon or Northwest Territories).
    • Refunds will be processed within 30 business days.

C. Accommodation and Dining

  1. Accommodation Conditions: Due to resource limitations in the Yukon and Northwest Territories, accommodations may include small local lodges or cabins. Some locations may require Participants to share a queen-size bed (2m x 1.5m). In rare cases, solo travelers may need to share a bed with another participant, and double-booking participants may need to share a single bed. Accommodations are chosen for the best scenic experiences, such as aurora viewing, and the Participant understands and accepts these conditions.

  2. Dining Arrangements: Meals are designed to suit extreme cold environments (e.g., high-calorie frozen foods or simple outdoor cooking) and may not meet personalized preferences. Participants should prepare their own travel snacks. The Organizer will arrange purchases and provide technical guidance. Hot meals for breakfast and dinner are available at restaurants, but the cost is self-paid.

D. Fees and Payment

  1. Travel Costs:

    • Included: Large SUV for five people, accommodations, some meals, and guide fees.
    • Not Included: Round-trip airfare, personal expenses, visa fees, and travel insurance.

  2. Payment Method: The Participant must place an order and pay the full amount on the website.

  3. Refund Policy:

    • If the Participant cancels 15 days before departure, they will receive a 90% refund, minus incurred expenses (e.g., reservation fees).
    • If the Participant cancels within 7 days of departure, no refund will be issued.
    • If the trip is canceled due to reasons attributed to the Organizer (excluding force majeure), a full refund will be provided.

E. Liability and Risks

  1. Risk Acknowledgment: This trip involves low-level dangers, including but not limited to extreme cold conditions (temperatures as low as -20°C) that may cause transportation disruptions. The Participant must assess their physical condition and bear the associated risks.

  2. Insurance Requirement: The Participant must purchase travel insurance that covers medical rescue in northern Canada and provide proof before departure. The Organizer can assist in finding an insurance provider if needed.

  3. Liability Allocation:

    • The Organizer is responsible for any losses resulting from its own negligence.
    • The Participant is responsible for consequences arising from personal actions, such as ignoring guide instructions or acting independently. The Organizer will not be held liable.

F. Special Requirements for the Yukon and Northwest Territories

  1. Visa and Entry Requirements:

    • The Participant must independently obtain a Canadian visa (e.g., ETA or tourist visa) and ensure compliance with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) requirements.
    • The Organizer may provide travel documentation but does not handle visa applications.

  2. Environmental and Legal Compliance:

    • The Participant must follow environmental regulations in the Yukon and Northwest Territories (e.g., no littering, no disturbing wildlife).
    • The Participant must respect Indigenous communities (e.g., Inuit or First Nations cultural customs). Violators bear legal responsibility.

  3. Emergency Rescue:

    • Due to the vast and sparsely populated nature of the Yukon and Northwest Territories, rescue costs are extremely high. The Participant must ensure their insurance covers such expenses.

  4. Equipment Requirements:

    • The Participant must bring or rent proper extreme cold gear (e.g., down jackets, insulated boots). A detailed equipment list will be provided by the Organizer.

G. Additional Agreements

  1. Code of Conduct:

    • The Participant must comply with the Organizer's and northern Canadian guides' arrangements.
    • The Participant must not leave the group or engage in dangerous activities (e.g., unauthorized ice crossings).

  2. Dispute Resolution:

    • Any disputes arising from this agreement should be resolved through negotiation.
    • If negotiation fails, disputes shall be submitted to a court or arbitration body in the Organizer's location or Whitehorse, Yukon, for resolution.

  3. Agreement Activation:

    • By checking the box "I have read and agree to the terms and conditions of M2 Arctic Travel Group" on the website checkout page, the agreement takes effect.
