8.0 Risk Management
On the adventure tours which include Mountain Climb, Via Ferrata, White Water Rafting and Sea Kayaking tours and other outdoor activities, the location is in areas where it is less accessible and the events that may occur in such places are less predictable. There will be elements of uncertainty as we are visiting places where the political, cultural and geographical attributes present certain risks, dangers and physical challenges greater than those present in our daily lives. Marvelous Borneo Tours & Events Sdn. Bhd. will put every effort to ensure comfortable travelling of the Guest/Customer, but we seeks mutual understanding that certain parts of the destinations will not have the same facilities, emergency, healthcare and safety services of the same quality level as what the Guest/Customer may be accustomed to in their own country. Road travel may be uncomfortable or even unreliable at times. Guest/Customer may possibly encounter power failure, insufficient water and limited food selection in remote areas. It is a fundamental condition that the Guest/Customer acknowledges that all adventure tours require some flexibility and the most meticulously planned arrangement can go wrong. The day to day itinerary is an indication of what the group should accomplish, but not a contractual obligation. It is understood that the route, schedules, itineraries, amenities and mode of transport may be subject to alteration without prior notice due to local circumstances or events which may include sickness or mechanical breakdown, flight or rail cancellations, strikes, events emanating from political disputes, entry or border difficulties, climate and other unpredictable or unforeseeable circumstances.

Bhd. however, cannot be held responsible for the results of these changes, regardless of how they were caused.
