Release and Agreement

By enrolling in a SideQuest World Tours trip, I (or my parent or guardian, if I am under the age of 18 or considered a minor under applicable law) acknowledge and agree to the following:

 

1. I understand that SideQuest World Tours trips are operated by SideQuest World Tours, owned by Brenden Daynell Hooks, and that any domestic tours in the U.S. may involve coordination with local partners. For international tours, I acknowledge that certain parts of the tour may be operated by local partners or affiliates.

 

2. SideQuest World Tours and its affiliates, partners, and any third-party companies acting on their behalf, including but not limited to, providers of accommodations, transportation companies, local ground operators, and excursion providers, do not own or control any entity that provides goods or services for the tours. I acknowledge that all such providers are independent contractors, not employees or agents of SideQuest World Tours.

 

3. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release SideQuest World Tours and all related parties (collectively referred to as “SideQuest”) from any claims related to my participation in a SideQuest tour. This includes claims for negligence, personal injury, emotional distress, or any other damages I may experience.

 

4. I agree to release SideQuest from any decisions to cancel, modify, or delay the tour as a result of events beyond their reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, political instability, health pandemics, or safety concerns.

 

5. I understand that travel involves risks, including but not limited to risks associated with public health, safety, and political conditions. I assume all responsibility for personal injury, health conditions, emotional stress, or property damage that may arise during my tour.

 

6. I agree to comply with all local laws and regulations of the destinations on the tour itinerary. This includes understanding that behaviors such as drug use, excessive alcohol consumption, or causing harm to others may result in immediate dismissal from the tour at my own expense without any refund.

 

7. In case of a medical emergency, I authorize SideQuest to secure treatment and transport at my expense. I understand that medical standards in the destination may differ from those in my home country.

 

8. I accept that SideQuest World Tours may make itinerary changes if required by local conditions or availability but will strive to minimize any disruptions to the tour.

 

9. I understand that if I decide to cancel my participation in a tour, I will be subject to the cancellation terms previously agreed upon at the time of booking.

 

10. I consent to SideQuest using photographs, video footage, and other media taken during the tour for future promotional or marketing purposes without compensation. I have read and agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use provided by SideQuest World Tours.

 

This agreement is governed by the laws of the state in which SideQuest World Tours is registered, and any legal actions must be brought in this jurisdiction.

 

By signing up for a SideQuest World Tours trip, whether by electronic agreement or paper form, I confirm that I have read and fully understand the terms of this Release & Agreement.
