Travel Insurance that covers Personal Accident, Medical and Hospital Expenses, Repatriation and Curtailment is compulsory for all Clients on all Icepedition tours. Protection for a minimum of US$100,000 emergency medical evacuation plus US$100,000 medical expenses is mandatory.

Insurance Documentation

A copy each Client’s insurance policy detailing policy validity dates, cover and names of those insured must be submitted to the tour leader on arriving at Keflavik airport in Iceland. Clients acknowledge prior to submitting any deposits that in the event they arrive without this documentation they will not be permitted to join the tour and their entire fee paid will be forfeited and not refunded with no recompense. Furthermore The Client acknowledges that Icepedition and Chris Gordon LLC have no liability to its clients for death, injury, damage or loss should they try to pursue Icepedition’s itineraries on their own.

Passports CVX and Visas

Icepedition Clients accept full responsibility for having at least 6 months validity in their passport (from the time of returning home) and any required Visas. The Client acknowledges that they will fully forfeit any and all fees paid without recompense in the event that they are denied entry into a foreign country because their travel documents are not valid or for any other reason.

Fitness and Ability

Icepedition clients acknowledge that they are fit and healthy enough and able to participate in all elements of the tour, and likewise have read tour literature, have raised any questions or concerns prior to submitting deposits and are happy with this before booking. Icepedition Clients acknowledge prior to submitting deposits that lack of fitness and ability to participate will not in any way entitle them to reimbursement of deposits and fees paid.

 Deposit Schedule and Cancellation Fees

Clients must submit a deposit of 50% of the entire tour package price 90 days prior to departure date. The balance is due 30 days prior to departure date, at which point no deposits are considered refundable. Cancellation charges will be calculated from the day written notification is received by the Company or their agent.

BOOKING CONDITIONS

Booking Conditions - Before placing a booking with Icepedition, you must read the full booking conditions carefully as it is your contract with Icepedition and Chris Gordon LLC and clearly lays out what you have agreed with us.

Icepedition and Chris Gordon LLC (‘the Company’, “we”, “us” and “our”) accepts bookings subject to the following conditions. All references in these conditions to “tour”, “booking”, “contract” or “arrangements” mean such tour arrangements unless otherwise stated. Please note, the information appearing in the sections headed “An Invitation” . “Icepedition’s Unique Premise”, “I’m not really into tours either…”, “Don’t listen to us…”, “2010 Itineraries and Pricing”, “Summer Solstice 2010”, “Time-After-Thyme 2010”, “Independent Travel Opportunities”, “About Us”, “The Fine Print”, “Links”, “Contact Us”, in our brochure or in these or any comparable sections and any other relevant information on our website also form part of your contract with the Company. References in these conditions to such sections include the comparable sections or information on our website.

 1.YOUR TOUR CONTRACT The contract is between the Company and the client (“the client” and “you” in these conditions), being any person traveling or intending to travel on a tour operated by the Company including any person who is added or substituted after booking. We both agree that U.S. law (and no other) will apply to your contract and to any dispute, claim or other matter of any description which arises between us (except as set out below).We both also agree that any dispute, claim or other matter of any description (and whether or not involving any personal injury) which arises between us must be dealt with by the Courts of New York State only. No employee of the Company other than a director has authority to vary or omit any of these terms. No promise of a discount or refund will be binding on us unless confirmed by us in writing.

 2.TO SECURE YOUR BOOKING (Please refer to Clause 17 Late Bookings) To secure a booking the Company or their agent requires a completed booking form and the necessary deposit or full payment for travel within 90 days. Clients booking by telephone, on the website, by e-mail or facsimile will be deemed to have agreed to the following four conditions: a) they and all persons named on the booking have read and accepted our booking conditions and general information pages on our website. b) they and all persons named on the booking appreciate and accept the risks involved in adventure travel. c) they or anyone else on their booking does not suffer from any pre-existing medical condition or disability which may prevent them from actively participating in the tour – if any person suffers from any medical condition or disability which will or may affect their tour arrangements, please contact us before making your booking as referred to in clause 10 below so that we can advise. d) the person making the booking warrants that he/she is at least 18 years old and has full authority to enter into a contract on the basis of these conditions on behalf of all persons named on the booking and confirms that all such persons are fully aware of and accept these conditions. A booking is accepted and becomes definite only from the date when the Company sends a confirmation invoice to the client who makes the booking or their authorized travel agent. It is at this point that a contract between the Company and the client comes into existence. Before your booking is confirmed and a contract comes into force, the Company reserves the right to increase or decrease brochure prices. The Company or their agents reserve the right to decline any booking at their discretion. If you book via our website, we will communicate with you by email. You must accordingly check your e-mails on a regular basis. We may also contact you by telephone and/or mail if we cannot, for whatever reason, contact you by e-mail. Certain documents may need to be sent by mail. References in these conditions to “send” and “in writing” or similar include communication by e-mail. You should contact us by e-mail if you need to do so for any of the reasons mentioned in these booking conditions (for example, to request an amendment)

 3. PAYMENT FOR YOUR TOUR The balance of all monies due, including any surcharges, must be paid to the Company or their agent not later than 30 days before departure. In the case of nonpayment of the balance by the due date the Company may treat the booking as cancelled by the client. A $10 document preparation and shipping fee may be added to your invoice. Monies paid to an agent acting on behalf of the Company for tours operated by the Company are held for the client until the client receives written confirmation of the acceptance of a booking. Thereafter, these and any other monies are held by the agent on behalf of the Company.

 4. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR BOOKING An administration fee of US$100 per booking plus any additional costs incurred will be charged if a confirmed booking is changed or transferred prior to 90 days before departure. Thereafter all changes will be treated as cancellations and subject to the charges below. Changes are subject to availability.

 5. IF YOU CANCEL YOUR BOOKING Should the client wish to cancel, cancellation charges will be imposed. These are calculated from the day written notification is received by the Company or their agent as a percentage of the total tour price, including surcharges, as shown below, or the non-refundable deposit, whichever is greater. The cancellation charges shown below are those which apply to most tours. However, some suppliers have conditions which require the payment of higher or different charges (including the imposition of 100% cancellation charges well in advance of the normal balance due date) which you will have to pay in the event of cancellation. You will be advised at the time of booking if this is the case for your tour Clients must submit a deposit of 50% of the entire tour package price 90 days prior to departure date. The balance is due 30 days prior to departure date, at which point no deposits are considered refundable. In addition to the these cancellation fees, the full insurance premium is also retained in the event of a cancellation. It is strongly recommended that full insurance is taken out which includes cover, under certain circumstances, against the loss of deposit or cancellation charges.

 6. IF YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT Should the client have a complaint about any of the tour arrangements, the client must tell both the relevant supplier and the Company’s representative at the time. Failure to complain on the spot will result in the client’s inability to claim compensation from the Company.

 7. PASSPORTS, VISAS AND VACCINATIONS Clients are responsible for arranging, and must be in possession of, a valid passport and any visas and vaccination certificates required for the whole of their journey. Information about these matters or related items (climate, clothing, baggage, personal gear etc) is given in good faith but without responsibility on the part of the Company.

 8.TRAVEL AND CANCELLATION INSURANCE Clients are responsible for effecting sufficient personal travel insurance. Travel insurance is mandatory for all clients while on a tour organized by the Company. Clients together with their personal property including baggage are at all times solely at their own risk. Protection for at least US$100,000 emergency medical evacuation plus US$100,000 medical expenses is mandatory. Clients are wholly responsible for arranging their own insurance and ensuring that they are in possession of private Travel Insurance with protection for the full duration of the tour in respect of at least medical expenses, injury, death, repatriation, cancellation and curtailment, with adequate benefits. Clients making their own arrangements should ensure that there are no exclusion clauses limiting protection for the type of activities included in their tour. Whether clients choose to obtain Travel Insurance through the Company, the Company’s agent or through their own independent arrangements, the clients must satisfy themselves that any such insurance is what they require and clients should arrange supplementary insurance if need be.

 9. IMPORTANT: LIABILITY INSURANCE Limited insurance is held by the operator. The client acknowledges and accepts that there may be no policy covering the Company’s liability to its clients for death, injury, damage or loss occurring anywhere in the world. The client also specifically acknowledges that with respect to passenger accident liability cover this cover may be very limited or may not exist at all. The client acknowledges that the company has taken reasonable steps in safeguarding its liability. Although the Company does hold various insurances this booking condition states that the client must assume he/she is not covered by any Company insurance policy, including all liability insurance, for death, injury, damage or any other loss.

 10.TOUR PARTICIPATION AND CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY Clients agree to accept the authority and decisions of the Company’s employees, tour leaders and agents whilst on tour with the Company. If in the opinion of any such person(s) or any other person in a position of authority (such as, for example, an airline pilot or hotel manager), the health, level of fitness or conduct of a client at any time before or during a tour is endangering or appears likely to endanger the health or well being of the client or any third party (including any other clients of the Company) or the safe, comfortable or happy progress of the tour, the client may be excluded from all or part of the tour without refund or recompense. Where a client is excluded, the Company will have no further responsibility towards them (including any return travel arrangements) and we will not meet any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the exclusion. In the case of ill health, the Company may make such arrangements as it sees fit and recover the costs thereof from the client. If a client commits an illegal act (including, for example, causing any damage) the client may be excluded from the tour and the Company shall cease to have responsibility to/for them as above. No refund will be given for any unused services. When you book with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or loss (reasonably estimated if not precisely known) must be made direct to the accommodation owner or manager or other supplier or to us as soon as possible. If the actual cost of the loss or damage exceeds the amount paid where estimated, you must pay the difference once known. If the actual cost is less than the amount paid, the difference will be refunded. You will also be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us and all costs incurred by us (including our own and the other party’s full legal costs) as a result of your actions. You should ensure you have appropriate travel insurance to protect you if this situation arises. If you have any medical condition or disability which may affect your active participation in your tour or the tour arrangements of any other person or have any special requirements as a result of any medical condition or disability (including any which affect the booking process), please tell us before you confirm your booking so that we can assist you in considering the suitability of the proposed tour and/or making the booking. In any event, you must give us full details at the time of booking and whenever any change in the condition or disability occurs. You must also promptly advise us if any medical condition or disability which may affect your active participation in your tour or the tour arrangements of any other person develops after your booking has been confirmed.

 11. SURCHARGES Prices quoted in this program are based on currency rates as at January 1, 2010. However, as external factors may affect exchange rates, air fares, transportation and accommodation, the Company reserves the right to adjust fees accordingly and commensurate to such fluctuations. Please read the following notice as it is your contract with Icepedition and Chris Gordon LLC and clearly lays out what you have agreed with us. The Company reserves the right to alter the price of any tour and forward an amended invoice. Any price increase will normally be notified more than 4 weeks before departure.

 12. IF WE CHANGE YOUR TOUR While the Company will do its best to operate all tours as advertised, it reserves the right to change and correct errors in any of the facilities, services, prices or itineraries described in this brochure and/or on our the website at any time before or after your booking is confirmed. Most changes are minor. Occasionally, we have to make a significant change. If a significant change has to be made, the Company will inform the client as soon as reasonably possible, if there is time before departure. For “Guaranteed Departures”, we promise not to make any significant changes to the “land only” itinerary unless we are forced to do so by force majeure (see clause 14). This guarantee does not, however, apply to any international or domestic flights which may be subject to change or cancellation in accordance with these conditions. A significant change is a change made before departure which we can reasonably expect to have a major effect on your tour. If advised of a significant change before departure the client will have the choice of accepting the changed arrangements (at additional cost if applicable), purchasing another available tour from the Company (paying or receiving a refund in respect of any difference in price) or canceling the tour with a full refund of all monies paid to us. No compensation will be payable and the above options will not be available where a change is a minor one. We regret we cannot meet any visa, vaccination or similar costs in the event of any change or cancellation by us. Similarly, as you are advised only to book fully flexible connecting transport and other arrangements (such as pre or post accommodation) which can be cancelled or changed without charge, we cannot pay any cancellation, amendment or other charges you may incur in relation to any arrangements which you have to change or cancel as a result of any change to your tour. Very rarely, we may be forced by "force majeure" (see clause 14) to change or terminate your tour after departure but before the scheduled end of your time away. This is extremely unlikely but if this situation does occur, we regret we will be unable to make any refunds (unless we obtain any refunds from our suppliers), pay you any compensation or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result.

 13. IF WE CANCEL YOUR TOUR The Company reserves the right to cancel a tour in any circumstances but will not cancel a tour less than 5 weeks before the start of the tour except for force majeure (see clause 14), consolidation / cancellation of tours where minimum numbers have not been achieved or the client’s failure to make all payments (including the final balance and any surcharge) when due. Please note, except for “Guaranteed Departures”, our tours require a minimum number of participants to enable us to operate them. If any tour does not have the minimum number of participants required to make it commercially viable, we are entitled to cancel it. We will notify you or your travel agent of cancellation for this reason not less than 5 weeks before the start of your tour. For “Guaranteed Departures”, there is no minimum group size and we will not cancel the “land only” itinerary unless forced to do so by force majeure (see clause 14). If we have to cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible. If there is time to do so before departure and the cancellation does not result from your failure to pay, we will offer you the choice of purchasing the alternative tour offered as a result of consolidation or another available tour from the Company (in either case, paying or receiving a refund in respect of any difference in price) or receiving a full refund of all monies paid to us. We regret we cannot meet any visa, vaccination or similar costs in the event of any change or cancellation by us. Similarly, as you are advised only to book fully flexible transport and other arrangement which can be cancelled or changed without charge, we cannot pay any cancellation, amendment of other charges you may incur in relation to any transport or other arrangements which you have to change or cancel as a result of the cancellation of your tour.

 14. FORCE MAJEURE Except where otherwise expressly stated in these conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our obligations under our contract with you is prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any injury, damage, loss or expense of any nature as a result of "force majeure". In these conditions, "force majeure" means any event which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include actual or threatened war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, disease, fire and all similar events outside our control.

 15. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR HOLIDAY Clients bookings are accepted on the understanding that they appreciate the possible risks inherent in adventure travel and that they undertake the tours, treks or expeditions featured at their own volition. Due to political and cultural differences, as well as generally tougher physical conditions, travel to many areas of the world involves risks other than those we take in our daily lives. The Company and the tour operators it works with place extreme importance on the safety of clients. It is important, however, that clients realize that they are responsible for making themselves aware (through State Department advisories, Government Tourist Offices and other sources of information) of the risks involved, and are responsible for making their decisions accordingly. No refund will be made for any unused services which are included in the price. The Company shall not be liable for any delays, deviations or omissions from any tour caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, nor for any direct or indirect consequences thereto. The Company shall not be liable to compensate clients for associated expenses incurred as a result of their booking. The Company only acts as agent for the owners, contractors, suppliers of transportation and local operators/agents, and/or other related travel services provided and assumes no liability or responsibility for additional expenses howsoever caused arising directly or indirectly from the actions or omissions of such independent parties, accidents, loss or damage to person or property, delays, transport failures, strikes, war, force majeure, Acts of God etc, over which it has no control. Arrangements so made by the Company will be subject to any special terms imposed by the supplier of these services. The Company accepts no liability for any action or activity undertaken by the client arranged independently of the Company while on tour. The Company accepts no liability for any circumstance arising pursuant to the agreement constituted by acceptance of these conditions by the client save: a) where such circumstance derives directly from a failure by the Company to use due diligence in the selection of persons for whom it acts as agent; or b) for negligence on the part of its employees causing death or personal injury; or c) to the extent of recovery by the client under the insurance cover effected pursuant to these conditions.

 16.AIRLINES Airlines featured are not responsible for any acts or omissions of any supplier of transportation or accommodations other than the airline itself, and accordingly, airlines are not liable in respect of either person or property for any loss, damage, injury, accident, delay or irregularity, however occasioned, sustained or suffered in or during any package, journey, trip or tour other than while on the airline. International airlines are subject to international air conventions limiting their liability, the limitations of liability are contained on the reverse side of airline tickets and form part of the terms and conditions of any package.

 17. LATE BOOKINGS We emphasize the importance of making a booking at the earliest opportunity, because of the small group nature of our tours. For bookings received within 6 weeks of departure we reserve the right to pass on any extra costs incurred. A late booking fee of $50 per person should be included with full payment if booking is within 35 days of departure. For bookings received within 6 weeks of departure the Contract between the Company and the Client comes into existence once full payment has been made and received by Icepedition and Chris Gordon LLC.

 18. BROCHURE / WEBSITE / ADVERTISING MATERIAL ACCURACY The information contained in our brochure, on our website and in our other advertising material is believed correct to the best of our knowledge at the time of printing or publication. However, errors may occasionally occur and information may subsequently change. You must therefore ensure you check all details of your chosen tour (including the price) with us or your travel agent at the time of booking.

EXPRESS WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT TO SEEK CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXPEMPLARY DAMAGES: Regardless of the situation or circumstance giving rise to claim, you waive any right to seek consequential, punitive or exemplary damages against the Company and/or Adventure Center, its owners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, subcontractors and employees, for any reason whatsoever.

2010 PRICES

Dates, prices (including travel insurance premiums) and itineraries shown for tours departing from January 2010 may be subject to change. Tour prices may alter up or down by a maximum of 10% due to unforeseen air or ground cost or exchange rate fluctuations. In the unlikely event that the tour price increases above 10% for confirmed bookings, clients may cancel with a full refund of monies paid to Explore – see clause 11 “Surcharges”. Tours and prices in this brochure supersede details published in any previous brochure.

CALIFORNIA SELLER OF TRAVEL PROGRAM Please be advised that California has established a Travel Consumer Restitution Fund. It does not cover non- California residents and, even in the case of California residents, does not cover any foreign travel where the foreign ‘providers of transportation or travel services’ are not in compliance with the Seller of Travel Law (compliances being defined as: registered as a Seller of Travel Consumer Restitution Fund).Thus none of the trips in this brochure qualify and by law you are required to be advised that you would not be eligible to make any claim from that fund in the unlikely event of any default by Icepedition and Chris Gordon LLC
