The driver will make these decisions, guided by his experience, in the interest of safety for our passengers.
In extreme circumstances a tour may have to be abandoned completely, in which case we will offer a replacement tour to different destinations or at different dates. A refund under these circumstances and the amount will be at the discretion of Red Centre Adventures.   
In the case of customized group tours a refund will be negotiable but is limited to a maximum of 50% of the tour price for the remaining portion of the tour. 

Mechanical breakdowns: In the case of a serious breakdown which prevents the tour from continuing, Red Centre Adventures will attempt to make arrangements with other Tour Operators to complete the tour. Should  that not be possible we will arrange transport to the nearest major town and after deducting the cost of such transport refund the tour price on a pro rata basis.
Red Centre Adventures at all times reserves the right to substitute if necessary the vehicles described in it's web pages with other, equally suited vehicles. 

Some mechanical problems my be rectified after flying in of replacement parts. In such cases the tour will continue, perhaps with one or two days delay. The driver will then confer with the participants as to whether to continue as planned and complete the tour one to two days late, or alternatively shorten the tour.
