Cancellation by Quantum Events

In the unlikely event that Ocean Swim Fiji Stay & Swim – May 2027 cannot be held on the advertised dates for reasons outside of organisers control caused by Acts of God, or force majeure such as (but not restricted to) weather or equipment disruptions, acts of government or other authorities, international border closures, communicable diseases, wars, hostilities, civil disturbances, strikes, riots, pilferage, medical or customs regulations or requirements, the event will be rescheduled or restructured and the deposit and any instalment payments will be transferred in full to this rescheduled or restructured event. If you choose not to attend the rescheduled or restructured event then a NZD $750 cancellation fee per person plus the forfeit of your swim registration deposit and travel deposit will apply (due to airfares not being refundable if these have been booked), with any excess payments refunded to you.

YOU TRAVEL – SERVICE & OBLIGATIONS TO YOU:

We will endeavour to secure your booking and provide you with documentation for the services detailed, subject to the following:


We are agents and not the providers of the services and products supplied by airlines, tour operators, hoteliers, car rental providers and other services – “Service Providers”. All contractual arrangements for such services are supplied by us strictly as agents for and on behalf of the Service Providers and all documentation is issued by us subject to our terms and conditions and the terms and conditions of the Service Provider(s).
What we supply to you is the arrangement and coordination of your travel and ancillary services, the making of bookings and issuing/supplying of tickets and vouchers to be redeemed by Service Providers. We will exercise all reasonable care and skill in carrying out the above services and in the selection of Service Providers.


We acknowledge that we are bound by the statutory guarantees under the New Zealand Consumers Guarantees Act 1993 where applicable.


When issued by each Service Provider, such Service Provider’s documentation and contract shall, unless inconsistent with the law of New Zealand, constitute the sole agreement relevant to the supply of the service or product and shall be governed by the terms and conditions of that Service Provider subject to the applicable law in the country in which it is supplied.


We have no control over the products or services provided by Service Providers or the
manner in which they are provided. We will nevertheless endeavour to ensure that they are suitable to meet the requirements you have made known to us.

We cannot accept liability for loss of any kind which arises from any act, omission, or default on the part of Service Providers. Neither can we accept responsibility for loss caused by Acts of God or force majeure such as (but not restricted to) weather or equipment disruptions, acts of government or other authorities, communicable diseases, wars, hostilities, civil disturbances, strikes, riots, pilferage, medical or customs regulations or requirements.


Travel is an individual experience and opinions and preferences differ from person to person. Individual satisfaction can be affected by many circumstances beyond our control (e.g. the weather) and we cannot be responsible if any aspect of your trip does not meet your expectations.


We will take reasonable care and skill in selecting suppliers to ensure your safety and
enjoyment but any adventure activity has some measure of risk and therefore all bookings are made on the condition that you will accept those risks and acknowledge that neither we nor any of our officers, employees, agents, subcontractors nor your fellow passengers shall be liable in any way for injury, loss, damage or claim of any kind to person or property, whether direct, consequential, or compensatory, regardless of cause.
