(e) It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, the Tour on our website may be incorrectly priced. If the correct price for the Tour is higher than the price stated on our site, we will contact you in writing as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Tour at the correct price or cancelling your booking. We will not process your booking until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the booking process, we will treat the booking as cancelled and notify you in writing. However, if we mistakenly accept and process your booking where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognized by you as a mispricing, we may cancel your booking and refund you any sums you have paid.
8.2. Currency fluctuations. We have the right to increase the Tour Prices by notifying you in writing at any time before we issue our invoice to you if the Tour costs increase because of foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the local currency of the country where the Tour takes place and the U.S. dollar.

The costs for the domestic flights are set out in the email to you under clause 4.1, and must be paid together with your payment under clause 9.1. The costs for the domestic flights are not part of the Tour fees and are subject to changes and re-scheduling beyond our control. Any price difference in the actual cost of the domestic flights at the time we buy the airline ticket will be at your expense. Should there be any price difference in the actual cost of the domestic flights, we will add or deduct the difference to the Tour Prices in your invoice or issue a separate invoice to you if the Tour Prices have been paid in full.

8.5. Single Supplements
(a) The single supplement as detailed in the Itinerary will be charged if you want single accommodation. This single supplement is based on the estimated actual cost of a single room for the duration of the Tour. Sometimes single rooms are of inferior quality to double rooms and we take this into account when we calculate the single supplement charge.
(b) If we cannot provide you with a rooming partner although you choose to share, the single supplement will become applicable. We will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that a rooming partner is found if you want to share. Rooming partners will be allocated in order of booking unless a participant requests a specific rooming partner who has not been matched. If your allocated rooming partner cancels before the start of the Tour, the single room supplement will become applicable to you unless we find another rooming partner for you. If you choose to share a room and, during the Tour, you or your rooming partner decide to no longer share a room, and any additional costs incurred will be shared equally between you and your rooming partner.
(c) Sometimes single rooms are not available, and you will have to share a room. This may be detailed in the Itinerary (e.g. where the entire group all share a dormitory-style room or rooms, or when we need to use a lodge that doesn’t have enough rooms to service the entire group) and we will then calculate the single supplement to exclude any additional costs for these nights. If single rooms are not available due to room limitations at certain hotels. then the single supplement for that part of the Tour will be refunded to you within a reasonable time after the Tour has finished.
8.6. Changes to the Itinerary. If we change the Itinerary under clause 6.4, and we downgrade the hotels or other services which was included in the original Itinerary, then we refund you the difference in cost between the hotel or service as per the original Itinerary and the hotel or service in the amended Itinerary.

14. Termination
14.1. Without limiting any of our other rights, we may terminate the Contract with immediate effect by giving written notice to you if:
(a) You commit a material breach of any term of the Contract and (if such a breach is remediable) fail to remedy that breach within 7 days of you being notified in writing to do so;
(b) You are removed from the Tour under clause 6.9.
(c) You fail to pay any amount due under the Contract on the due date for payment;
14.2. Termination of the Contract will not affect your or our rights and remedies that have accrued as at termination.
14.3. Any provision of the Contract that expressly or by implication is intended to come into or continue in force on or after termination will remain in full force and effect.
15. General
15.1. Assignment and transfer.
(a) We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under the Contract to another entity but will always notify you in writing if this happens.
(b) You may only assign or transfer your rights or your obligations under the Contract to another person if we agree in writing.
15.2. Variation. Any variation of the Contract only has effect if it is in writing and signed by you and us (or our respective authorised representatives).
15.3. Waiver. If we do not insist that you perform any of your obligations under the Contract, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you or that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive any rights, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any right related to any later default by you.
15.4. Severance. Each paragraph of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them is unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
15.5. Third party rights. The Contract is between you and us. No other person has any rights to enforce any of its terms.

(a) This Contract and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by South African law.
(b) Sustain Safaris and you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the High Court of South Africa, Western Cape Division, Cape Town (or any successor to that division) in regard to a dispute relating to the existence, validity or termination of this Contract or any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with this Contract (a "Dispute").
(c) Sustain Safaris and you agree that the courts of South Africa are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle a Dispute and accordingly no party will argue to the contrary.
