In case of substantial changes to the trip, the passenger should, if possible, be offered an alternative trip or the right to terminate the contract without a cancellation fee.

If the traveler does not do so, the traveler will be bound by the new contract.
5.3.2 If the contract is terminated, the organizer shall, without undue delay and no later than 14 days after the termination of the contract, refund the full price of the trip.
5.4 The organizer's and traveler's rightto terminate the agreement in the event of unavoidable and extraordinary events
The organizer is entitled to terminate the agreement if the implementation of the arrangement is significantly affected by unavoidable and extraordinary events at the destination or in its immediate vicinity. Unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances include, for example, serious security problems such as war, terrorism, outbreaks of serious illness or natural disasters. In such cases, the traveller has the right to terminate the contract without paying a cancellation fee. If the organizer terminates the contract in accordance with this paragraph, the traveller is not entitled to damages. In such cases, the passenger is entitled to a full refund in the manner set out in 5.3.2.
5.4.1 The passenger is not entitled to terminate the contract if the unavoidable and extraordinary events were generally known at the time the contract was concluded.
If a travel service is not performed in accordance with the contract, the organiser must remedy the defect within a reasonable time. However, the organizer is not obliged to remedy the defect if it is impossible or if the remedy would entail disproportionate costs. If the organizer does not remedy the defect, the traveler may be entitled to a price reduction and damages.
6.2.1 If, after departure, a substantial part of the agreed services cannot be provided, the organizer shall, if possible, arrange equivalent or at least equivalent alternatives at no extra cost to the traveller. If the organizer is unable to do so, the organizer may offer lower quality alternatives at a reasonable reduction in price. The passenger may only reject such alternatives if they cannot be considered comparable to those that would have been provided under the contract or if the discount offered cannot be considered reasonable.
6.2.2 If the organizer cannot offer an alternative or if the traveller is entitled to reject such alternatives under 6.2.1, the traveller may be entitled to a price reduction and damages.
6.2.3 In the event of errors that significantly affect the implementation of the arrangement and which the organizer has not remedied within a reasonable time, the traveler may terminate the contract and may also be entitled to a price reduction and damages.
6.2.4 Number of game killed and/or observed is not subject to complaint
6.2.5 Test hunts are organized to new territories, which the tour operator believes in, but where it has not been tried in practice. Test hunts are always cheaper than the same hunts later.
The hunts and the whole arrangement are completely without any guarantees for quality, and that is what is to be tested. A hunt leader who receives a test group knows that he is up for "examination", and that future hunters from the tour operator depend on the experiences of the test group. Therefore, most first-time hunts usually go very well, but as they say "take it - or leave it".
On rare occasions, the tour operator may have to cancel or suspend a planned test trip at short notice due to various factors. In the event of a cancellation, the amount paid will of course be refunded, but no further claims for compensation can be made. The tour operator does not accept complaints regarding test arrangements. The tour operator wants each test hunter to submit a report upon return.
7.1 Price reductions are not made if the organizer can show that the fault is due to the traveller.
7.2 The traveler is not entitled to compensation if the organizer proves that the fault is due to the traveler or to a third party unrelated to the provision of travel services included in the arrangement, or if the fault is due to unavoidable and extraordinary events.
7.3 If the fault is due to someone hired by the organizer, the organizer is free from liability under these travel conditions only if the person hired by the organizer would also be free under that provision. The same applies if the fault is due to someone else in an earlier stage.
7.4 There is no right to damages due to the organizer's cancellation of the trip if the organizer shows that fewer people than a minimum number specified in the contract have signed up for the trip and the traveler is notified in writing within a time specified in the contract that the trip has been canceled.
Notice of cancellation must be given no later than
7.5 Compensation under these conditions includes compensation for pure financial loss, personal injury and property damage. The passenger is obliged to limit the damage as far as possible.
8.1 The traveler may only invoke defects in the agreed services if he or she notices or should have noticed the defect within a reasonable time after he or she notices the defect and notifies the organizer or retailer of the defect. This must be done promptly and, if possible, at the destination. In determining any price reduction or compensation for damages, the time when the traveller made the complaint is taken into account if such notification would have enabled the organizer to remedy the defect.
8.2 Notwithstanding paragraph 1, the traveler may claim fault if the organizer or retailer has acted with gross negligence or contrary to good faith.
The traveler is obliged to follow the instructions for carrying out the trip given by the tour leader or by another person engaged by the organizer. The traveler is obliged to respect the rules of order applicable to the trip and the destination and to behave in such a way that fellow travelers or others are not disturbed. If the traveler significantly violates this, the organizer can cancel the contract without the traveler being entitled to compensation or reimbursement.
The traveler is liable for any damages resulting from negligence on the part of the organizer.
9.3.1 The traveler is responsible for complying with the necessary formalities for the trip, such as possession of a valid passport, visa, vaccinations, and insurance.
9.3.2 The traveler is personally responsible for all costs arising from deficiencies in the aforementioned formalities, such as repatriation due to lack of passport, unless the deficiencies are caused by incorrect information from the organizer or retailer.
9.3.3 The Passenger is responsible for consulting the information provided by the Organizer.
A traveler who departs from the arrangement after the start of the trip is obliged to notify the organizer or his representative.
A trophy hunt is only 100% over when the trophies are returned to the hunter. Unfortunately, there are occasional problems with errors in trophy handling, processing, conservation work and transportation. In order to solve such problems effectively, it is important to know who is responsible for what and what you can do to protect yourself in the best possible way. It is very important that you familiarize yourself with the rules and responsibilities for trophy handling before leaving on a hunting trip. Waidmann assumes no responsibility for trophy handling but will assist you in this process as much as possible.
Thus, on all occasions, trophy handling, trophy transportation and conservation work are entirely your own responsibility and risk.
10.1 Importing trophies
There are some animals that fall under the Washington Convention's list of protected species. These species require an import permit from the authority in the customer's home country. It is the customer's responsibility to obtain this permit. Please checkwww.cites.org. for the nearest office.
If the traveler encounters difficulties during the trip, the organiser is obliged to provide appropriate assistance without undue delay. Such assistance may include, for example, information on health services, local authorities and consular support. The organiser has the right to charge a reasonable fee for such assistance if the situation was caused intentionally or negligently by the traveller.
The parties should try to resolve disputes concerning the interpretation or application of the contract on their own. If the parties cannot agree, the dispute will be examined by the Swedish National Board for Consumer Disputes (ARN), Box 174, 101 23 Stockholm, www.arn.se, or by a general court. A dispute can also be examined via the European Commission's online platform: http://ec.europa.eu/odr.
