TROPHY SHIPPING INSURANCE
Bowhunting Greenland recommends the client to take out a trophy shipping insurance and takes no responsibility in case of loss or damage during the shipping and taxidermy. Its clients own responsibility to take out relevant trophy shipping insurance, which covers shipping of the trophies in case of loss or damage.

CANCELLATION BY THE CUSTOMER
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. Flight ticket is not included in the arrangement; it is not possible to refund this cost if the ticket has already been issued at the time of cancellation. 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 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.
Bowhunting Greenland cannot be held liable for supplying the activities in case of acts of god (force majeure).

The name on the flight ticket must always agree with the name on the traveler's passport. Since, more often than not, it is not possible to change names on flight tickets after registration and any discrepancy between the name on a flight ticket and the name on a passport can lead to the passenger not being allowed to check-in for the flight, it is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the first names and surnames of all participants notified upon registration are correct and agree with all first names and surnames on the participants' passports. Similarly, immediately upon receipt of the travel documentation, it is the customer's responsibility to check that these agree with the names on the booking and that all first names and surnames on the tickets and other travel documents are correct and in agreement with one another.
