   7. The registration for participation in an Activity is to be made – as quickly as possible, for the most efficient organization – via the Company’s website by inserting all the necessary information in the registration form on the website (peak-pack-booking form) or by sending an E-Mail: info@cretanpeaks.com with the full information requested. Participation is only confirmed, if the participation fee set by the Company or the planned down payment is paid.

In this case the down payment will not be refunded. 
   10. Early cancellation of participation in the “Activity” can be made no later than 15 calendar days before the start date of the Activity. In this case, the down payment, settled up as deposit, will not be refunded, whereas the remaining amount of the total cost of participation will be fully refunded. Cancellations have to be formally asserted and always in due time in writing with an e-mail to one of the following e-mail accounts: info@cretanpeaks.com and cretanpeaks@gmail.com.

   14. If the fee is remitted to the Company’s bank account, the participant must provide his or her name and the Activity to which the deposit relates. Any commission from the bank will only burden the depositor and in no case the Company. 
   15. The minimum number of participants is five (5) or, as prescribed differently for each separate “Activity”. Therefore, the Activity cannot take place if the minimum number is not reached. In this case, the company will inform the participants by means of an announcement on its website and reimburse the participation fee to those who have paid it without any further obligation for the Company. If, for any reason, the available places are ultimately less than the number of registrations, the order of priority will be strictly adhered to, depending on the registration date, where any amount paid already by those ones who weren’t selected, will be refunded. In any case, the excursionist can be rebooked to the next excursion if he or she wishes so.
   16. Participants must be present punctually at the departure point of the Activity, which is determined by the organizers, and strictly adhere to the departure times and the duration of the stops determined by the leader of the Activity. It goes without saying that failure to follow the timing exactly may cause unwanted program changes and delays and problems among participants. The inconsistency of any participant gives the leader of the “activity” the right to ignore him, where the inconsistent is not entitled to any refund of the Activity or any other compensation. 
   17. The leader of the Activity has the right to differentiate or even cancel the carrying out of the Activity, if in his judgment the local weather or other conditions do not guarantee the safety of the group or the adequate execution of the activity. In case of diversification of the program of the Activity or delay in its execution due to weather or other extraordinary circumstances, the participant does not receive compensation or refund of part or all of the price of his participation. Any complaint should be reported immediately to the leader of the activity and not later than during the running Activity.

   20. The Company has taken every possible care and taken all possible precautions for the correct and successful organization of each Activity. However, the Company is not liable for events and situations that are beyond its control, and which may lead to the non-execution or improper execution (including delays) of the Activity, such as: Blockades (roads, company premises, etc.), accidents, delays, changes or failures in transport, etc. as well as for culpable actions or omissions by third parties. In these cases, the company is not liable for any damage.
