Kélifos defines its terms and conditions according to the specifics of its trips. Any purchase of a trip implies their acceptance. In the event of any contradiction between the terms and conditions listed in the brochure and those on the website www.kelifos.travel (hereinafter, the "website"), the latter will prevail.
We inform you that the trips offered by Kélifos are considered as packaged holidays, within the meaning of the regulations, as "packaged", and that as such, you benefit in particular from the rights set out in article 12 below.
1 / Our travel offers
From our Website, we provide you with detailed information on the nature and specifics of each trip. You will be able to view the program day by day, get practical information on the destination and read all the information useful for its realization (level of physical involvement, minimum number of participants.).
A "Prices" section will allow you to have an indication of the price of the trip on the considered travel dates.
In the event of a contradiction between the travel information contained in our offer (brochure, partner websites other than www.kelifos.travel, etc.) and that appears on the trip description available from Kélifos or on its website, these last will prevail.
Please note that we offer tours that may require physical implication. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read the information regarding the level of physical engagement required to undertake the planned trip. It is the responsibility of each participant to determine, based on the information provided, whether they have the sufficient capabilities.
In case of a doubt and before any registration, we invite you to contact Kélifos or any specialist (eg: sports doctor) in order to validate your ability to undertake the planned trip.
Our trips include guided or self-guided tours for groups or families and tailor-made trips, according to your wishes, with the help of one of our travel experts.
1.1. Self-guided trips
A self-guided trip allows you to travel without a guide and without worrying about organization or logistics. We offer an itinerary for which we book your accommodation, luggage transfers and other services depending on the options, and you receive the necessary documents for the completion of your trip. For some trips, a minimum of two adults may be required.
1.2. Guided trips
1.2.1 Group size
Guided trips allow you to travel in a small group with a guide. The maximum group size for each trip is indicated in the trip description. However, the maximum number may be exceeded by one participant in the event that the last person who registers wishes to travel with another person. The services will not be modified, and the travel conditions will be identical.
1.2.2 Authority of guides and instructors
The supervisory staff chosen by Kélifos and its partners (mountain guides, ski instructor, bike instructor, etc.) to guide and lead any group of travellers is the sole judge during the trip and may modify the program provided to ensure the participants safety or to deal with unforeseen circumstances and to ensure the smooth running of the trip. The guide may also suspend and / or interrupt the journey of one or more participants for safety reasons. An alternative to the trip will be offered to the traveller(s) concerned, who will assume any additional costs. Depending on the weather conditions, the condition of the terrain and the physical condition of the travellers, Kélifos or the guide may be required to offer travellers an alternative program and / or the presence of an additional guide. Additional costs will be borne by travellers. Interruption of travel on the initiative of any traveller may not give rise to any refund.
1.3. Tailor-made trips
You have the possibility of creating a personalized trip with the help of one of our travel experts whether this might be a self-guided or a guided trip, based on an existing trip or not. You just need to request a quote from the agency, by phone, email (info@kelifos.travel) and / or through our website.

Before registering for your trip, you must verify that each traveller, depending on their personal situation and nationality, is in possession of a valid passport, document which will be used to carry out the planned trip as well as all other document (s) / supporting documents (visa/authorization to leave the country, etc.) necessary and in accordance with the requirements required to transit and/or enter the country (ies) of the trip.
Kélifos provides information relating to formalities upon request.
For the organization of your trip, we inform you that certain providers (in particular, customs authorities, airlines, etc.) require the transmission of some of your personal data in order to fill out forms and / or requirements relating to their reservation and / or control system.
Thus, we may be obliged to communicate the following data to these providers:
• your names, first name(s), date of birth and gender which is noted on the passport that you will use for your trip and to fill out the transit or entry authorizations (visa, etc.),
• data relating to a need for assistance (children, pregnant women, disabled people) or others.
Please note that you have to fill out administrative forms with the same information that was sent to Kélifos, namely, surname, first name (s), date of birth and sex. By failing to comply with this procedure, you run the risk of being denied the entry to the destination (transit or final destination).
A traveller, who could not use the transport tickets made available to him, failing to present the required police, customs and / or health documents, can not claim any reimbursement of the price of his trip. Kélifos cannot, in any case, be held responsible for the consequences of the traveller's non-compliance with police, customs or health regulations before or during the trip (for example the loss of ID, passport, etc.).

The participant is not able to contest the decision made by Kélifos and request any compensation or reimbursement in this respect.
Our trips are likely to welcome minor children accompanied by an adult, provided that their age and physical ability make it possible to carry out the tour under normal conditions.
Our trips require a more or less important physical involvement according to the required sport level and are therefore not adaptable and/or accessible to everyone. Please contact us for more information on the accessibility of our trips and for any assistance request, particularly at the airport and/or during journeys.

Additional authorizations and other administrative documents may be required by your country of origin. In any case, the minor traveller must also have the contact information (name, address and telephone numbers) of his or her parents or legal guardians at all times during the trip in order to establish direct contact with them.
4 / Modifications / Interruption of services requested by the traveller

Special cases of air costs, regardless of the date of cancellation or modification of contract: these costs are added to the above scale: if your plane ticket must be issued well in advance, often to spare you significant supplements, 100% of the non-refundable costs in the event of cancellation or modification of your flight plan will be invoiced to you. In this case, the above scale only applies to the price of the trip without the flight.
In the case of "self-guided" trips: if the trip is for only 2 people, the cancellation of one of the people may lead to the automatic cancellation of the second person for security reasons.

• The fees and / or various costs incurred by Kélifos to allow the continuation of the trip subscribed at the same price for participants already registered and who maintain their participation in the trip. In any event, the price of a privatized and / or tailor-made trip is set according to a determined number of participants and the services required to complete the trip. The cancellation of one or more participants, therefore, has a direct impact on the travel price of all participants remaining registered. These additional costs are to be borne by the participant (s) who cancels their participation in the trip.

In this case, the above scale only applies to the price of the trip without the flight.
