If your actions have been deemed discriminatory to others, dangerous or illegal , you may be asked to leave, your package may be cancelled without any refund and you will no longer be allowed to attend Rock agus Roam packages and associate activities. It is at the discretion of the organisers and/or local authorities to decide to cancel your package in this instance and their decision will be final.

Activities: It is a condition of bookings that customers comply with the authority and decisions of the organisers and associates. This includes listening to instructions to ensure yours and others safety and enjoyment at all times.
