NSA Important Information

Saftey

Saftey has always been our primary concern at N.S.A., snowmobiling involves certain risks, as a client you must take full responsibility for your own actions and participation.

Through our procedures we can greatly reduce the potential for accidents but cannot completely eliminate all hazards. You will be required to sign an acknowledgment of risk- liability waiver, prior to all tours.

Insurance & Security Deposit

NSA require a valid credit card imprint for a damage/security deposit of $500.

Any DAMAGE COST to snowmobile will be deducted from this amount. (see Damage costs below.)

On your safe return with an undamaged sled your deposit will be returned to you.

Terms of Agreement

Terms of Agreement Must be read and signed by hirer.

This is a agreement of terms between client and Niseko Snowmobile Adventures.

  1. The snowmobile shall not be operated by anyone not named in this agreement.
  2. In all cases safety will overrule. NSA guide decisions will be final on all factors .(Anyone who doesn't follow guides directions may be required to resort to foot transportation!!).
  3. You have made your NSA guide aware of any health issues you may have.
  4. Anyone impaired by alcohol, drugs, fatigue or medication will not be accepted on any tour. If at any stage after a tour has started you show signs of such, your tour with NSA is over, you will be transported back to trailhead and you will have to wait for that tour to finish before being transferred to your accommodation, in this case there will be no refund.
  5. At no time is any NSA client to tow or push any vehicle or person, unless with full permission of NSA.
  6. Snowmobiling can at times be physically demanding, a general level of fitness will be required. Depending on snow level, you may be required at times to help dig snowmobiles free, this will mainly be the case when guides instructions have not been followed. It is not necessary that clients have previous snowmobiling experience prior to participating in one of our tours. Riding a snowmobile is, as a general rule is more challenging than driving a car because it requires coordinated physical input such as leaning and moving on the seat to assist the snowmobile in turning. Drivers need to be prepared to heed the advice of their guide and use their body to be actively involved with the steering and driving of the snowmobile for proper operation.
  7. In the case of snowmobile breakdown or malfunction unrelated to the rider ,a portion of tour left minus rental fee will be refunded.
  8. Please don't abuse the machines, they're expensive to repair or replace. Signing this form will mean you have understood and agreed to damage cost.
  9. Good manners and "outdoor etiquette" are appreciated.
  10. NSA will not be held responsible for loss or damage of any property left in, on ,or carried by snowmobile. Guides will help and take all care but take no responsibility.
  11. Due to the inherent nature of winter weather and snowmobling, all tours will proceed on cold, snowy days.
  12. In some cases hazardous weather conditions or safety factors may require NSA to cancel your tour, in such a case all payments will be fully refunded.
  13. Any action by client deemed dangerous or neglectful by guides will result in your immediate expulsion from tour, in this case no refunds will be given.
  14. NSA Strongly recommend confirmation of personal travel insurance to guard against unforeseen mishaps.
  15. Remember we are a touring company. We are NOT a race organization and require our guests to travel at moderate speeds.
  16. A photocopy of passport or license will need to be presented.
