Third-Party Services
Travel companies often act as intermediaries, arranging services provided by third parties such as airlines, hotels, and local tour operators. Disclaimers typically clarify that the company is not liable for the actions or omissions of these third-party providers. For example, a disclaimer might state that the company “acts only as agent for the client in acquiring transportation, hotel accommodations, sightseeing, and other privileges, or services for the clients’ benefit, and on the express condition that Shree Renuka Tours and Travels shall not be liable for any loss, injury, or damage to person or property.”
Liability Waivers
Clients may be required to sign liability waivers acknowledging the inherent risks associated with certain travel activities, especially adventure or outdoor excursions. These waivers often include statements where participants “waive any and all claims” against the company for personal injury, death, property damage, or loss sustained during the tour.
