hold Platinum Adventures and Wheaton Bank & Trust responsible should any of these suppliers: 1) fail to provide the travel services purchased; 2) fail to
comply with any applicable law; or 3) engage in any negligent act or omission that causes any sort of injury, damage, delay, or inconvenience.

reserves the right to refuse acceptance to anyone it judges incapable of meeting the rigors and requirements of participating in any activity or trip at any time.You can also read
