Each agreed change incur an extra charge of 20€, for example for the cancellation of 1 or more participants in the excursions booked, for changes in snowmobile, huskies, reindeer and other safaris.
Please note that refunds are generally not granted for cases where alternative arrangements have been made or if the
booking process encounters technical difficulties.

CHILDREN

In some programs / services a cheaper price is applied for children. The age of the children whom the cheaper rate applies is decided by the program/activity provider and specified in the program’s description.

PETS POLICY

Pets are strictly forbidden in all programs with animals like horse riding, huskies and reindeer safaris.
Pets may NOT be allowed with you in many other programs or excursions. Please check with the organisers before taking your pets with you. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to this policy.

PREGNANCY AND OTHER HEALTH ISSUES 

Pregnant women should not use snowmobiles, ATV or other similar vehicles nor sit on a sledge pulled by the snowmobile as the vibrations and exhaust fumes may be harmful. In addition, the Levi Tourist Office discourages pregnant women in taking part in all excursions involving the use of animals such as husky safaris, reindeer sleigh rides, horse riding and horse sleigh rides, because of the dangers annex with these activities. Pregnant women taken part in those type of programs do so at their own risk.

Some of the programs and services may be physically demanding and participants may be exposed to various physical strains and stresses. If a participant suspects that his or her health is preventing them from participating in a program or service or suspects that his / her health may be endangered during the program or service, the participant must receive the permission from his / her physician to participate. The guests always take part in the programs / services at their own risk. The guest in addition must inform the program/service provider of any possible health issue, which may affect or be affected by the participation in the program. If the program requires special arrangements (e.g. additional transport), due to the client’s special health issues, the program provider is not responsible for the possible extra costs. A guest taking part in any program/service does so at their own risk.

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PROGRAM/SERVICE PROVIDER

The program/service provider carries out its activities exercising the appropriate safety plans and health and safety standards, in accordance with Finnish laws and regulations.

PROGRAMS WITH MOTOR VEHICLES

All snowmobiles or other motor vehicles used in the programs are insured under the Finnish law. During the program/service/rental the customer using the vehicle is liable for any damages that may occur. The share of deductibles (own risk liability) in case of damages to the vehicle and/or personal injuries varies according to the program and is specified by the program/service provider.

The driver of a motor vehicle must be at least 18 years old and in possession of a valid driving license, unless otherwise stated.

Finnish law prohibits driving a snowmobile under the influence of alcohol. The responsible program/service provider reserves the right to change the route, schedule and duration of the program without prior notice, if necessary, taking into account weather conditions, participants' health and other circumstances. The program/service provider reserves the right to suspend the program if the participant acts by causing a safety risk to himself or other participants or the participant's health does not allow the program to continue.

ANIMALS

All animals used in the program/services (reindeer, huskies and horses) are trained as far it is possible for the safe engagement in the program they are trained for. However, animal behavior can never be fully predicted and therefore, in order to avoid incidents and to reduce risks, all participants must comply with the safety and other instructions given by the service provider

OTHER DAMAGES

The program/service provider may only be held liable for personal or material damages that have occurred in the event of an accident and which were caused by negligence of the program provider him/herself or their employees or sub-contractors or by the provision of faulty and defected equipment.

The program/service provider shall not be liable for any accidental damage or injury not due to negligence or faulty equipment as mentioned above. These may be repayable under the participant’s own travel insurance. A personal travel insurance is always highly recommended for any unexpected situation. 

PRICES AND PRICE CHANGES

Booking rates include pre-arranged rates and taxes. All Rights Reserved. The Levi Tourist Office is not liable for any printing mistakes or for changes in the prices transpired after the printing of the brochures.

REMARKS

Any dissatisfaction should be promptly communicated directly to the service provider either during the program or immediately thereafter. Simultaneously, written notification of the concern should be provided to Visit Levi without any undue delay. Failure to report any potential issues with the program or service during or immediately after its conclusion will result in the participant forfeiting any entitlement to any possible price reductions or other forms of compensation.

APPLICABLE LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

In the event of any dispute arising from the agreement, the parties will first attempt to reach a resolution through mutual negotiation. If consensus cannot be achieved, the customer has the option to bring the matter before the Consumer Dispute Board (Lapin käräjäoikeus "the District Court Of Lapland"). The governing law for the contract is the Finnish law.

It should be noted that Visit Levi bears no responsibility for alterations to the Booking and cancellation conditions that may arise subsequent to the publication of these terms and conditions.
