Terms & Conditions

Upon purchase of the tour package from an authorized booking agency, the terms and conditions set forth herein become a binding contract between the purchaser and the operator (Hooked On Adventures, LLC which from this point will be referred to as "HOA"). Acceptance of this contract occurs when deposit is received by HOA at its office.

Purchaser represents by tender of payment that the completed trip itinerary that was prepared for purchaser by HOA has been reviewed and that it meets purchaser's expectations and requests.

The angling tour package purchased by the purchaser from HOA consists of the "Trip Itinerary" prepared by HOA for pre-paid angling travel and associated services. The itinerary is the written travel schedule listing, scheduled daily activities, and travel services purchased.

In the event of a difference between information contained within brochures, websites, magazines and that contained in the official itinerary prepared on HOA stationary, the language of the itinerary shall control. HOA is bound by only the terms and conditions contained in the itinerary it delivers to the purchaser.

To reserve space on any angling package offered by HOA, a non-refundable deposit will be required. This deposit will be $1,500 per participant on all trips, unless specifically stated otherwise. Early reservations are essential to guarantee your accommodations at the particular fishery on the date you wish to travel.

Reservations made within 60 days of the departure require full payment, and possibly additional charges for expenses incurred due to special mailing, fax charges, etc. Final payment is due 60 days prior to departure. If this final installment is not paid when due, HOA reserves the right to treat the reservation as canceled.

Payment is via check, money order, bank transfer or a Visa or MasterCard credit card only.

Purchaser is responsible for selecting a trip appropriate to his or her health, physical abilities and interests. The enjoyment of the other tour members, and a refund of recoverable land tour services will be the limit of HOA's liability in this particular situation.

The angling tour package price includes all the pre-paid travel services represented by the official written "Price List" provided to the purchaser.

Once a reservation is made and the deposit check received, there will be no refunds of any monies paid toward the designated trip. However, if notice is given at least 60 days prior to departure, all monies paid may be applied to the then current retail price for a future trip to the same location. The trip must be taken within 12 months from the date of the cancelled trip.

We advise you purchase trip insurance 10-15 days after registering for a trip. In the event that you must cancel your trip due to illness, family crisis, or other emergency, this insurance reimburses you for non-refundable trip costs. This insurance also provides for limited accident and baggage coverage. If desired, you may purchase trip insurance through our office.

No refunds are given for any unused pre-paid services included in the angling tour package or any changes made in the itinerary while en-route, including changes in hotel accommodations, excursions, and transportation services.

HOA reserves the right, and such right is hereby granted to HOA by the acceptance of these terms and conditions, to use any photographic images taken by clients or staff on this trip in any brochure, website or other promotional media on behalf of HOA, any operations it represents, and/or any associated companies.

HOA reserves the right to:

No guarantees or warranties, expressed or implied, are made that the tour package will meet all of the traveler's expectations, specifically regarding weather or fishing conditions.

HOA cannot be responsible for any part of the fishing package that might be missed because of cancellations, delays due to weather or mechanical problems of commercial airlines. HOA will make a reasonable effort to assist the Purchaser in transferring to the fishing destination, but Purchaser is responsible for any additional expenses incurred in making this transfer.

HOA is the operator of certain fishing yachts in Brazil and as such will employ independent contractors to provide services including, but not limited to, Charter Air Flights, Hotel and Restaurant Accommodations, and Fishing Guide Services.

Group organizers, travelers and tour participants, individually and jointly, release HOA from any and all liability and responsibility, known or unknown, present or future, for any and all loss, injury to person, damage to property, or accident, or which may be the result of any delay or change of itinerary, or irregularity connected with the tour package purchased, which is beyond its control, including but not limited to, acts of God, transportation problems, fire, machinery or equipment malfunction or failure, government actions, wars, terrorist activities, civil disturbances, labor disputes, riots, thefts, sickness, or weather, and which includes all expenses or damages, direct or consequential, claimed or sustained by group organizers, tour participants, or travelers, and waive HOA based on any claim of negligence by any of the suppliers of services included in the tour package.

All baggage shall be carried at participant's own risk. Purchaser is solely responsible for obtaining necessary travel documents for the areas visited. This release is binding upon group organizers, tour participants, their representatives, heirs and assigns.

All questions of law in any action based upon any claim of breach of this agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the Amazonas State in Brazil as existing at the time of such action.

Any action brought by either party based on any claim arising under or as a result of this contract or based on the tour package of which it is a part, shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil.
