We ask our guests to read the following terms and conditions carefully. The content is adjusted at regular intervals to possibly changed legislation.
Jeruz Bitone Adventures LTD, hereinafter referred to as Jeruz, organizes trips through East Africa. This includes the states of Uganda, where the company is based, as well as Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda.
Jeruz also arranges third-party services, i.e., travel providers, freelancers, hotel, tent and guest house accommodation and other preferred rentals services.
For all bookings, please note the public holiday and holiday regulations in the respective destination countries.
We would like to point out that in Africa, the general hygienic conditions, service standards, and safety often do not correspond to those in your home country. Nevertheless, traveling in and to Africa is not an outright risk.
With the conclusion of a contract, e.g., travel registration and/or transmission of a payment/deposit to a Jeruz account, the following conditions are bindingly accepted. Terms of contract that are not listed or included below must be fixed in writing and handed over to each contractual partner. Changes or ineffectiveness of one or more contractual conditions does not automatically result in the complete ineffectiveness of the entire contract. Jeruz reserves the right to make changes to the travel program free of charge.
Jeruz is headquartered in Seeta, Uganda and is therefore subject exclusively to the legislation of the Republic of Uganda. Since Jeruz also arranges trips from other travel providers, as well as hotels, tents and guest house accommodation, their conditions apply in such cases.
Bookings can be made by email or by phone. Bookings are based on specific information about the desired travel destination and the person regarded to as the traveler, Full valid details are required as can be seen from the travel registration form and Documents.
Jeruz bases all tour and price determinations on the legality of the information. In the event of complications resulting from deviations or incorrect information, Jeruz rejects any guarantee or liability.
With the booking, the traveler enters into a contractual relationship with Jeruz and a deposit of 250-450 euros is due for each booked trip depending on the nature of the trip, this can be determined by the duration or the total cost of the Trip. The deposit is to be paid immediately, at the latest within 5 working days, in order to ensure the availability of the desired trips on the booked date. After receipt of payment, the booking (travel contract) will be confirmed in writing by Jeruz. The total price of the trip must be paid no later than 90 days before the start of the trip.
In special cases, the entire travel price is due immediately. This applies to:
After receipt of the complete payment, the contractual partner will receive a written confirmation of receipt of payment. If payment of the full travel price is not made within the specified period, Jeruz reserves the right to withdraw from the contract and to demand cancellation costs.
If the trip has not been performed in accordance with the contract, the traveler is entitled to a refund. However, the claim must not be disproportionate, otherwise Jeruz has the right to refuse. A refusal also occurs if the traveler has failed to report the defect during the trip and has therefore not given Jeruz an opportunity to remedy it within a reasonable period of time.
The refund of deposits and full payments for booked gorilla tours is not possible due to the requirements of the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA). However, it is possible to transfer tours to a third party up to 7 days before the start of the trip. The third party can only be named by the person withdrawing from the trip.
Jeruz prices include the services listed in the travel offer, including costs for fuel, taxes, personnel, office, and administration costs as well as third-party costs.
Jeruz reserves the right, in exceptional cases, to increase the travel price fixed in the contract due to special circumstances. These special circumstances are given when the price of fuel increases by more than 5% when exchange rates fluctuate by more than 4% when there is evidence of increased official fees and taxes when the price of gorilla and chimpanzee tours and hotel/accommodation costs increase by more than 5 %.
The travel price will only be increased by the increase in the above factors and the travel participant must be informed immediately, but no later than 3 weeks before the start of the trip. If the total travel price increases by more than 10%, withdraw from the contract and be reimbursed according to the percentages listed below. He also has the right to an offer for an equivalent alternative trip.
Jeruz can withdraw from the contract if:
In these cases, the passenger will be offered an alternative trip, or the full price will be refunded.
In the event of a contract termination due to incorrect or incomplete personal information provided by the traveler or if payments have not been made in full or within the specified deadlines, there will be no refund or a refund after deduction of an appropriate expense allowance.
Termination of the contractual relationship by the travel guest is possible at any time before the start of the trip. The termination must be in writing, whereby the deadline is calculated from the receipt of the termination by Jeruz. In this case, Jeruz can claim reasonable compensation before departure.
The following percentages of the total travel price per person apply:
The deposit paid is non-refundable.
Jeruz offers the canceling traveler the opportunity to bring a third party into the contractual relationship instead of himself (rebooking). Any additional costs incurred must be borne by the traveler or the new person to be brought in. Until the conclusion of the contract with the third person, the traveler is jointly and severally liable. Jeruz expressly reserves the right to refuse the third party for reasons of security, compliance with laws and official orders. In the event of a rebooking, a flat rate of €50 or €45 will be charged. The traveler is advised to take out travel cancellation insurance before the start of the trip to cover any cancellation costs incurred.
Liability claims against Jeruz are subject to a period of 30 days after the end of the trip, whereby the verifiable date of receipt of the written document by Jeruz applies here. When the deadline has expired, the traveler can only assert claims if he was demonstrably prevented from asserting them in due time.
