Magus Journeys reserves the right to remove a participant from the journey, without refund, where behaviour is disruptive, abusive, unsafe, unlawful, or materially impacts the experience of other travellers.
8. Special Access & Itinerary Changes
Many of the unique experiences offered during this journey rely upon permissions granted by local authorities, archaeological administrations, religious custodians, and third-party suppliers.
While every effort will be made to deliver the published itinerary, access arrangements, accommodation, transport, guides, and scheduled activities may occasionally change due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
This includes private access to archaeological sites, temples, tombs, pyramids, and ceremonial spaces.
Where changes become necessary, we will seek to provide a suitable alternative wherever possible.
No refund shall be due where changes are made in good faith for operational, safety, or regulatory reasons.
9. Force Majeure
Magus Journeys shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations where such failure arises from events beyond our reasonable control.
These include, but are not limited to: war, civil unrest, terrorism, natural disasters, epidemics, government restrictions, airspace closures, extreme weather, transport disruption, archaeological site closures, or other extraordinary events.
In the event of cancellation due to Force Majeure, Magus Journeys will endeavour to recover and return any monies recoverable from suppliers. However, we cannot guarantee reimbursement of sums already committed to third parties.
Participants are strongly advised to ensure that their travel insurance provides appropriate cover for such events.
