TOURIST CIRCUIT REGULATIONS
DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL • INTEGRAL PART OF THE CONTRACT
TOURIST CIRCUIT REGULATIONS - DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL - Integral part of the Contract
Conduct and Public Order:
The Agency reserves the right to exclude from the circuit/program any tourist who exhibits aggressive, degrading behavior, disrupts the program, or endangers the safety of other tourists. The Tourist acknowledges that their individual rights cannot be exercised to the detriment of the rights of other consumers within the same group (bus, guidance, accommodation). In case the Tourist harasses, insults, or disrupts the activity of other participants or the Agency's representatives (group leader, guide, driver), violating the group's collective right to benefit from the quality of paid services, the Agency (through the accompanying guide) will issue a verbal/written warning.
Exclusion Procedure:
If disruptive behavior continues, the Agency has the right to unilaterally terminate the contract on the spot and exclude the Tourist from the remainder of the circuit, without any obligation to refund paid amounts and without paying damages, with the return transport falling exclusively to the burden of the excluded Tourist. The group leader will draw up a Statement of Facts on the spot, describing in detail the Tourist's unacceptable behavior. This document will be signed by the guide and by at least 2 (two) witnesses from among the other participants in the tourist program. The Tourist's refusal to sign the Statement of Facts does not affect its validity. Based on the Statement of Facts, the accompanying guide will communicate the Notification of unilateral contract termination to the Tourist, as an emergency, due to the Tourist's exclusive fault. Starting from the moment of notification (communicated verbally and/or in writing), the contract terminates by right, and the Tourist loses all rights of access to the bus, accommodation units, restaurants, or objectives included in the circuit, the Agency being exonerated from any obligation of assistance, repatriation, or refund.
Zero Tolerance Alcohol / Violence:
In case the Tourist is under the influence of alcoholic beverages or psychoactive substances, manifests violent (physical or verbal), aggressive, threatening behavior, or behavior likely to endanger the dynamic safety of the vehicle, passengers, or the Agency's staff, the Agency's representatives (guide/driver) will immediately cease any dialogue or negotiation and will call for the support of competent police authorities (local or via the emergency number). Drawing up a report, contravention record, or any official act by police bodies for disturbing public order and peace, aggression, or threats constitutes irrefutable proof of contract breach by the Tourist. In this case, the contract is considered terminated by right, as an emergency, due to the Tourist's exclusive fault, without any prior notification being necessary. The Agency is exonerated from any obligation of transport, accommodation, assistance, or refund, the Tourist being taken over by authorities or left at the police station where the finding was made.
Liability for Damages:
The Tourist is fully and directly responsible for any destruction, degradation, or material damage caused inside the bus, hotel rooms, or in the spaces of commercial partners. Any cost of repair, special sanitization, or fine applied to the Agency or its partners due to the Tourist's proven fault will be invoiced directly to them and paid as an emergency.
Right of Selection (Blacklist):
In the situation where the Tourist manifests inappropriate behavior during the course of the tourist program, the Agency expressly reserves the right to refuse their enrollment and participation in any other circuits or services organized subsequently. Also, the Tourist will be permanently excluded from any loyalty programs, marketing, or commercial facilities of the Agency. By "inappropriate behavior" it is understood, without being limited to: violating group rules established by the group leader/guide/driver, aggressive, harassing, or clearly disrespectful behavior towards other tourists, towards the Agency's staff (group leader, guides, drivers), or towards its contractual partners (hoteliers, local guides, or any other service provider involved in the conduct of the tourist circuit).
Punctuality on the Route:
To maintain the route schedule and respect the rights of other passengers, the maximum waiting time in case of delays at meeting points established by the group leader during the circuit is a maximum of 15 minutes. After this term expires, the group will proceed according to the program, and the delayed tourist will be obliged to catch up with the group on their own and at their exclusive expense, without having the right to request damages. In case the tourist is permanently delayed or renounces the established program, they cannot have any claim regarding the refund of any amounts.
Program Modification:
The group leader may modify the action program, including the order in which tourist objectives are visited. The Agency does not assume responsibility in case certain objectives cannot be realized for reasons independent of it or due to delays caused by various factors independent of its will.
Sharing and Accommodation:
The Agency does not undertake to find sharing for people traveling alone. The star classification of accommodation units is the one officially attributed by the ministry of the respective country and as such respects local standards. Accommodation variants mentioned in the tourist program are available at the time of its launch and can be replaced along the way with similar alternatives of the same category (if the hotel is changed for reasons not related to the agency), these being confirmed only at the moment the minimum group is formed for each circuit.
Hotel Rules:
Accommodation of tourists, as well as vacating rooms, is done in accordance with hotel rules specific to each country and each accommodation unit. Distribution of rooms at hotels is done exclusively by their receptions, depending on availability and room type (STANDARD type - it is not mandatory that all are identical in location or design), without taking into account the order of enrollments. Problems related to the location or appearance of the room are resolved by the tourist directly at the reception and, at their request, they will be assisted by the group leader, these not being imputable in any way to the Agency. If hotel receptions request a guarantee payment at check-in, this is the exclusive responsibility of tourists.
Air Transport Conditions:
Presentation at the airport must be done mandatory three hours before the flight; The Agency is not liable for refusing boarding of tourists as a result of their delay. The flight schedule can be modified without notice by the airline. Preferential seat selection on the plane, within group bookings, is subject to strict rules and differs from one company to another (additional costs may apply or it is not accepted and/or can be done only with a certain time in advance). After paying a sum for a preferred seat on the plane, the airline can modify without notice the plane type and seat configuration; for these situations, the Agency is not liable and offers only support to mediate a dialogue with the airline, without guaranteeing resolution.
Borders and Minor Regime:
The Agency is not liable in case of refusal by authorities at border crossing points to receive the tourist on their territory or to allow them to leave the territory. Minor children can travel only in accordance with legislation in force: accompanied by both parents, or accompanied by a single parent/third adult holding a legal notarial agreement, necessary declarations, and criminal record (as the case may be). Minor escorts are obliged to have the minor child's birth certificate in original, in addition to the passport and/or identity card. Minor children who do not possess an identity card need an individual passport. Tourists have the obligation to ensure that travel documents (Identity Card or Passport) do not show signs of damage and are valid for at least 6 months from the trip end date. For holders of temporary passports with 1-year validity, obtaining visas from the corresponding embassy is necessary; in case of failure to obtain, penalties related to tickets and expenses incurred are retained.
Status of the Group Leader:
The group leader will ensure that the program unfolds according to the itinerary, will offer assistance in emergency situations and information regarding optional excursions, with the observation that they do not have the qualification and legal certification of a tour guide outside Romania's borders, the only legal role they can have being that of group leader. According to international laws, only authorized local guides have the right to offer explanations inside museums and monuments. The group leader designated by the Agency will not ensure the translation of the local guides' presentation, the circuits being conducted in English.
Optional Excursions:
Optional excursions are carried out on the spot directly with local agencies; sums related to these excursions are not collected in the name of and for the Agency. Optional excursion tariffs may be higher than those at hotel receptions because they include dedicated transport logistics for the group, guide assistance, and, where applicable, a local guide. In the optional excursion tariff, as a rule, entrance to tourist objectives is not included, unless specified otherwise.
Good faith and prohibition of abusive denigrating criticism:
In the situation where the Agency and its partners have fully performed the services mentioned in the tourist program, at the contracted standards, the Tourist has the obligation to execute the contract in good faith. Manifesting a permanently critical, unfounded, nagging, denigrating, or mocking behavior towards the correctly performed services, towards the Agency's staff or local partners (guides, drivers, hoteliers), with the obvious purpose of creating a state of tension within the group or exerting pressure on organizers, is considered an abuse of right and a direct breach of the contract. This type of inappropriate behavior gives the group leader the right to apply the warning procedure as a matter of urgency and, in case of recidivism on the route, the final exclusion of the Tourist from the circuit, according to the procedure with Statement of Facts mentioned in this regulation, the Agency also reserving the right to take the Tourist to court for repairing the image damage brought to the trademark.
Force Majeure and Luggage:
During the excursion, force majeure situations or fortuitous cases may arise such as delays in air traffic, blocking of airports, changes of airports, strikes, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, landslides, or unforeseen political events. In these cases, the Agency undertakes to make efforts to overcome the situations that have arisen, but cannot be held liable for bearing additional expenses incurred. The Agency cannot be held responsible for the loss, theft, or damage of luggage or personal items, regardless of the cause. Circuits may include portions of the itinerary with an easy/medium degree of difficulty.
Campaigns and Special Requirements:
The Agency may allocate a number of discounted seats in case of early booking promotions or special offers, for a limited period; if these are exhausted before the deadline, the Agency will stop the promotion without prior notice. In the situation where the tourist has special requirements (adjacent rooms, specific location, special menu), these will be requested from partners but are not considered confirmed except to the extent of technical possibilities on the spot.
Financial Conditions:
The circuit value can be paid in EURO, US DOLLARS, or RON. For payments made in RON or US DOLLARS, the conversion will be made at the selling exchange rate for the respective currency of the Agency's bank - Banca Transilvania - on the day of invoice issuance. The amount recorded in the Agency's bank account after payment by the service beneficiary must correspond exactly to the invoiced amount.
Validity:
The travel service provision contract enters into force at the moment of advance payment or full payment by the beneficiary. This regulation is an integral and inseparable part of the Travel Service Provision Contract.
Strict rules of conduct on the bus:
During the entire travel duration, inside the bus, smoking is strictly forbidden (including electronic cigarettes or heated tobacco devices), consumption of alcoholic beverages, as well as consumption of foods that may generate unpleasant odors, leaks, or mess (cooked food, fast food, dairy), only small dry packaged snacks being allowed; use of the bus toilet is restricted exclusively to cases of major emergency and will be done only with prior notification and express agreement of the group leader or driver; at the same time, to avoid sound pollution and disturbing other passengers, the use of phones, tablets, or other media devices on speaker is forbidden (using audio headphones being mandatory), also talking loudly, using vulgar, insulting, aggressive, or threatening language is forbidden, failure to comply with any of these rules being considered "inappropriate behavior" and attracting the immediate application of the warning procedure, exclusion from the circuit, or intervention by police bodies.
Exoneration of the Agency from liability in case of accidents and obligation of insurance:
The Agency is not and cannot be held liable in any form for bodily injuries, accidents, illnesses, or death of the Tourist occurring during the circuit (including in transport means, accommodation units, restaurants, or tourist objectives) that are the result of their negligence, inattention, imprudence, or fortuitous events (e.g., but not limited to: slipping, falling, improper use of hotel room facilities such as shower doors, bathtubs, balconies, failure to follow safety rules at objectives, etc.). The Tourist bears full civil and criminal liability for their own actions and has the express obligation to take out medical travel insurance and/or cancellation insurance that fully covers the risks of accidents, illness, emergency medical assistance, or repatriation, any costs generated by such unforeseen situations being borne exclusively by the Tourist or by their insurance company, without any financial or logistical involvement from the Agency.
Management of optional activities/meals and information on the bus:
All announcements made by the group leader through the bus audio system regarding organizing or modifying the program, meal options (including giving up certain stops for optional lunch/dinner based on majority decision), optional activities, or strict meeting times are considered official notifications received by all tourists. It is the exclusive responsibility of each Tourist to pay attention to these announcements. Lack of reaction, inattention, private conversations, or non-opposition explicitly expressed at the moment of the announcement represents tacit and full acceptance of the decision taken for the group. The Agency cannot be held responsible if a tourist ignores the announcement, separates from the group on their own at stops without notifying the leader, or delays reaching the bus under the pretext that they did not hear the instructions. Any delay caused by ignoring the announced program will be treated according to the Punctuality clause, and aggressive behavior or the scandal generated later on this reason will be sanctioned directly as "inappropriate behavior" with exclusion from the circuit.
Status of free time and individual visits:
Within the tourist program, moments announced by the group leader as being "free time," "time for meal," or "time for individual visiting" (at museums, archaeological sites, cities, etc.) represent periods in which group assistance is suspended, and tourists manage their activity on their own and on their entire responsibility. The group leader has no legal or contractual obligation to accompany, supervise, or wait individually for any tourist during these intervals. Each Traveler is directly responsible to remember the meeting point and exact regrouping time communicated by the group leader before the start of free time. Failure to respect the meeting time under any pretext (including getting lost, losing orientation, or not completing the visit in time) attracts the immediate application of the Punctuality clause, the bus leaving at the established time so as not to prejudice the rest of the group, and the Traveler being obliged to meet the group again on their own and at exclusive expense.

GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR TOURIST GUIDING SERVICES
MOUNTAIN TRAILS • ADVENTURE UNFILTERED SRL
GENERAL REGULATIONS FOR DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL MOUNTAIN CIRCUITS - Integral part of the Contract
Introduction:
Mountain hiking is one of the most beautiful ways to spend your free time and enjoy nature. However, to enjoy everything nature has to offer, you must take into account certain rules regarding how you prepare for the road or how it is best to behave along the way, whether you are experienced or a beginner.
There are several criteria for classifying mountain trails: duration, the season in which they can be covered without problems, the degree of difficulty, and the equipment needed for hiking. The first thing to do is related to information. It is very important to read the information transmitted by our team carefully, and then listen carefully when the guide details the route and safety norms before setting out. You must plan your hike according to your physical condition and the mountain equipment you have. According to our instructions, your backpack must contain every item recommended by the guide.
Before setting off, think first of your safety and that of those accompanying you. The mountain is unpredictable, no matter how well you think you know it. Weather in mountain areas can spring surprises, even if you follow the forecast. Better safe than sorry; therefore, be cautious and follow the instructions of our guides, whose goal is to keep you safe and offer you a stay as relaxed as possible.
Technical details:
Equipment: depending on the difficulty of the chosen route, you will need regular, special (mountain boots, trekking poles, special jackets), or complex (crampons, ice axes, pulleys, harnesses) sports equipment. You can also take various gadgets with you, such as a smartwatch, for instance, which can help you monitor your pulse, stress level, and know at all times which direction to take.
Duration: flat terrain or gentle slopes, 4 km/h; climbing on an existing path, 350 m/h; climbing on a rocky path, 250 m/h; descending on a smooth path, 450 m/h; descending on a less beaten path, 400 m/h.
Season: not all trails can be covered the same way in every season. For each one, you should find out which time of year you can enjoy the hike without difficulties. There are mountain routes that are closed in winter because they become particularly dangerous.
Degree of difficulty:
- easy (3-6 hours), elevation gain of 300-700 m, low effort;
- medium (4-8 hours), elevation gain of 500-1,000 m, you can cover it with some effort, but without having to have trained seriously beforehand;
- difficult (5-9 hours), elevation gain of 800-1,500 m, physical effort is very high, and you must prepare very well beforehand.
Via Ferrata
Via ferrata routes (Italian for "iron path") are mountain trails equipped along their entire length with metal structures – iron steps, metal cables, pitons, suspension bridges, etc. – that allow persons less experienced in mountaineering to safely navigate routes similar to climbing routes. Via ferrata routes must be approached with the utmost seriousness, just like any climbing route.
Equipment - Via ferrata routes can be covered only with special equipment. Using improvised equipment is prohibited, as you risk a fatal accident.
The mandatory via ferrata equipment consists of:
• climbing harness
• climbing helmet
• special via ferrata set consisting of 2 lanyards, wide-opening carabiners, energy absorption system in case of a fall
Optional: gloves. They can bring a considerable contribution on long routes, on difficult sections where only cable exists. Via ferrata gloves have reinforced portions in the palm and fingers, and the fingertip portion is cut out.
Suitable footwear: can be mountain footwear with a rigid or semi-rigid sole, depending on the general aspect of the route.
Supplementary equipment:
• Mobile phone fully charged, with emergency numbers ready: 0-SALVAMONT or 112
• a first aid kit
• clothing suitable for the weather forecast, possibly spare clothes
• water, something to eat
• Sunglasses and sunscreen
• Headlamp
Importance of the guide on via ferrata routes:
• It is useful for both beginners and advanced climbers.
• The experience accumulated by the guide is invaluable. Especially valid for beginners, alongside a guide, you will be able to accumulate more information in much less time than if you were to travel the route alone. You will learn to use the equipment correctly, to plan and approach the route safely, and in difficult points, their advice will help you overcome those sections.
• In the case of those with experience, a guide is useful in approaching routes more difficult than those traveled previously. Practically, they will take you to the next level, safely.
Movement on via ferrata and proper use of equipment:
Just like in mountaineering and climbing, at the base of the route, before starting, participants will check each other. It is verified if the harness and helmet are worn correctly and if the via ferrata set is attached to the harness correctly. We can also verify if the backpack is attached correctly, without open pockets. We enter the route one by one, only one person being allowed on each safety segment. Safety begins immediately upon entering the route, right from the first segment. During the crossing of the via ferrata route, the two carabiners from the lanyard are coupled to the metal cable permanently. For ease, but also depending on the area traveled, it is preferable that the two carabiners be pushed with the hand in front of us as we advance, not left to follow us on the cable. Thus, upon passing to the next cable segment, the carabiners will be at hand, ready to be moved to the new segment.
When passing from one cable segment to the next, proceed as follows:
I. Find a position as comfortable as possible to perform the transition of carabiners to the next segment.
II. Uncouple the first carabiner and immediately couple it to the next cable segment.
III. With the first carabiner now coupled, uncouple the second carabiner and move it to the next cable segment.
IV. Continue the route with both carabiners coupled.
At no point do we uncouple both carabiners simultaneously. Neither of the carabiners is attached to the harness loops or to each other along the route, not even when we take a break.
A safety distance is kept from the person in front, minimum one cable segment break between two people. On some routes, such as "Wild Ferenc" for example, there will also be signs indicating the recommended distance between participants. We will be careful not to dislodge stones, and in case this happens above us, we will dodge by getting closer to the wall, without looking up, protecting ourselves with the helmet. We do not put our hands over the helmet but hold them tightly on the cable or on other fixed safety points. Performing activities implies that we are attentive to those who are engaged on the route at the same time as us and are alert to what is happening around. If a person panics, it is important to approach them calmly. You can offer them a sip of water and take a break, if the terrain permits. Sets of deep breaths and clear instructions on how to continue, step by step, will also help.
Possible dangers:
By using the equipment inadequately, the climber can expose themselves to mortal dangers. That is why our guide will constantly monitor participants and will draw attention whenever necessary. Special attention is paid to the technique of traveling the routes to ensure both the safety of excursionists and that of guides.
Falling rocks. We will be careful not to dislodge stones, and in case this happens above us, we will dodge by getting closer to the wall, without looking up, protecting ourselves with the helmet. We do not put our hands over the helmet but hold them tightly on the cable or on other fixed safety points.
Fear and panic. Due to exposure and height, moments of panic or fear may occur. These can be countered in advance through exact planning of the route and good management of travel time, with sufficient breaks. A break just before a more difficult section can help. If a person panics, it is important to approach them calmly. You can offer them a sip of water and take a break, if the terrain permits. Sets of deep breaths and clear instructions on how to continue, step by step, will also help.
