BOOKING

All bookings will be confirmed by email from our team. Once you have validated the proposed arrangement, we trust in your integrity and commitment to honour your booking and be present on the day of the activity.

We do not require a deposit — this is a deliberate choice on our part.

However, if you do not honour your booking, you will have the option of compensating us in accordance with the cancellation clauses described below.

CANCELLATION BY EXPLORIDERS

The feasibility of any activity programme is subject to the guide's assessment of weather conditions, water levels, and participants' physical abilities.

Exploriders reserves the right to modify activity programmes for reasons of safety, flooding, insufficient water levels, temperatures below 0°C, participants' physical abilities, or any case of force majeure. Alternative activities will be offered where possible, without any right to compensation.

If Exploriders is obliged to cancel the activity for any reason, participants will be fully reimbursed, with no entitlement to any additional compensation.

RIVER MAINTENANCE AND CONDITIONS

Exploriders is actively involved in the maintenance and monitoring of routes throughout the year, in collaboration with local stakeholders. We take care to select the most navigable routes based on their condition at the time of the activity.

We are proud to operate in a completely natural and unspoilt environment — this is precisely what makes our activities so rich and authentic. Choosing to navigate in this environment also means accepting that nature is in charge: it evolves at its own pace, sometimes in unpredictable ways.

Fallen trees, debris, submerged branches, or any other natural obstacle may appear between two passages on a route. Exploriders cannot be held responsible for the presence of such obstacles, which are beyond their control. Should a hazard be identified on the planned route, we reserve the right to modify or cancel the itinerary in the interest and safety of participants.

CANCELLATION BY PARTICIPANT(S)

• More than 30 days before the activity: no penalty

• Between 30 and 15 days before: flat-rate penalty of 30% of the total price

• Between 14 and 2 days before: flat-rate penalty of 50% of the total price

• The day before or on the day: penalty of 100% of the total price

These penalties are a matter of personal ethics and conscience. We will provide our bank details should you wish to proceed with compensation.

If fewer participants attend than originally booked, the organiser must inform Exploriders at least 5 days before the activity. Otherwise, all reserved places remain due.

EQUIPMENT LIABILITY

Equipment provided by Exploriders is regularly maintained and inspected. Participants agree to use it responsibly and in accordance with the guide's instructions. In the event of deliberate damage or gross negligence, the responsible participant may be required to cover the cost of repair or replacement. Damage resulting from normal use of the activity and natural conditions remains the responsibility of Exploriders.

Specific to Transmission Eau Vive activities

During guiding and training sessions, participants may be led to navigate technical routes beyond their usual level, which increases the risk of equipment damage. An equipment excess of €200 per session applies in the event of damage to the craft or equipment provided. This excess will be communicated to the participant during the preliminary discussion prior to the session.

GUIDING ACTIVITIES — TRANSMISSION EAU VIVE

Within the scope of guiding and training activities, the equipment used and the routes taken may differ from those presented on the website. Each intervention is tailored to the objectives, technical level, and background of the participant(s). A preliminary discussion with the guide is essential in order to define the content and format of the session together. Please contact us at contact@exploriders.fr for any specific enquiry.
