Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk & Hold Harmless Agreement

One Xpeditions Inc.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. This is a legal document that affects your rights. By agreeing to it, you are giving up substantial legal rights, including the right to sue.

This is the document referred to in our Terms and Conditions as the "Waiver of Liability and Hold Harmless Agreement".

1. Acknowledgment of Risk

I understand that participating in a One Xpeditions expedition involves inherent risks, including but not limited to:

  • Ocean and open-water conditions

  • Freediving, snorkelling and, where a trip includes it, scuba diving

  • Encounters with wild animals, including large marine mammals

  • Boat and vehicle transport in remote, underdeveloped and developing regions

  • Hiking and walking on uneven or coastal terrain

  • Visits to villages and cultural sites

  • Food and water prepared in remote locations

  • Physical exertion

  • Environmental hazards, including weather, sea state, terrain and marine life

  • Equipment failure

  • Remote locations without immediate medical access, and delayed or limited evacuation

I understand these risks could result in injury, illness, disability, property damage or death, and I voluntarily accept and assume all such risks, both known and unknown, including risks that may not be foreseeable.

2. Release of Liability

In consideration of my participation, I — on my own behalf and on behalf of my heirs, executors, administrators, next of kin, personal representatives and assigns — hereby release, waive and forever discharge One Xpeditions Inc., together with its directors, officers, employees, agents, guides, contractors, affiliates and representatives (collectively, "the Released Parties") from any and all claims or liability arising from or related to:

  • My participation in the expedition or any related activity

  • Travel to, from or during the expedition

  • Use of equipment, vessels, vehicles or accommodation

This release applies to all injury, illness, death, loss or damage, including where arising from the negligence of the Released Parties. It does not apply to gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

One Xpeditions Inc. enters into this release both on its own behalf and as trustee and agent for each of the other Released Parties, so that each of them may rely on and enforce it.

Nothing in this agreement limits any statutory rights I have as a consumer, or any liability that cannot be excluded by law.

3. Hold Harmless & Indemnity

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses, including legal fees, brought by or on behalf of any third party arising out of:

  • My participation in the trip

  • My conduct or negligence

  • Any breach of this agreement

4. Fitness and Eligibility to Participate

I confirm that:

  • I am at least 19 years of age, the age of majority in British Columbia, Canada.

  • I am in good physical and mental health and capable of taking part in the planned activities.

  • I am a competent and confident swimmer, able to swim at least 300 metres unaided in open water including in choppy conditions, and I meet any additional in-water requirement stated for my trip.

  • I have disclosed all relevant medical conditions, allergies, dietary requirements and medications that may affect my safety or ability to participate.

  • I will withdraw from any activity if advised to do so by a guide or trip leader.

5. Emergency Medical Authorisation

If I am unable to make decisions for myself, I authorise One Xpeditions to arrange the emergency medical care, treatment, evacuation or transport it reasonably considers necessary, and to disclose the information needed to arrange it. I understand and accept that I am fully responsible for any related costs, including evacuation.

Emergency contact. I will provide the name and telephone number of an emergency contact before the trip, and I confirm that person has agreed to act in that role.

6. Insurance

I acknowledge that travel medical insurance is mandatory as a condition of booking, and that obtaining it is my responsibility. My cover must include, at minimum:

  • Water-based activities, including freediving and snorkelling — and scuba diving if my trip includes it

  • Hiking and outdoor activities

  • Emergency evacuation and repatriation

  • Emergency medical treatment

Trip interruption and cancellation cover is strongly recommended but not required.

I understand that One Xpeditions does not verify insurance documentation, that I have been asked to give my guide a copy of my policy on arrival, and that failure to hold adequate cover is entirely at my own risk.

7. Governing Law

This agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada.

Any dispute arising from it may be brought in the courts of British Columbia. Nothing in this section removes any right I may have to bring proceedings where I reside.

8. Severability

If any provision of this agreement is found to be unenforceable, the remainder continues in full force and effect.

9. Acknowledgment of Understanding

I confirm that:

  • I have read, understood and agreed to this waiver voluntarily.

  • I have had the opportunity to ask questions and to seek legal advice if I wished to.

  • I am giving up substantial legal rights, including the right to sue the Released Parties.

  • I am not relying on anything said to me verbally, or in messages, that differs from this agreement, the Terms and Conditions, or the published details of my trip.

10. Third-Party Services Disclaimer

I understand that certain elements of the expedition may be provided by independent third-party contractors — local boat operators, dive services, transport providers or accommodation — who are not employees or agents of One Xpeditions.

I acknowledge that One Xpeditions is not responsible for the acts, omissions or equipment of these independent providers, and I agree to review and sign any additional waivers they require.

11. Scope and Duration

This agreement applies to the expedition I am booking and to any activity organised or arranged by One Xpeditions in connection with it, including transfers, land activities and optional excursions.

It remains in force for the duration of that expedition and does not expire on my return in respect of any claim arising from it. It does not cover future expeditions, for which a new agreement will be required.
