By making a reservation with any of our represented outfitters or lodges in any manner, booking a hunt or by rendering payment to Ramsey Russell, LLC, or to GetDucks.com, the Client agrees to and acknowledges entering into a valid and binding contract incorporating all of the following terms and conditions:
1. SERVICES PROVIDED BY GETDUCKS.COM
GetDucks.com, a privately-held brand of Ramsey Russell, LLC, acts solely as the booking agent for outfitters, guides, transportation providers, lodges and any other service providers in connection with the client’s trip. Other than serving as booking agent, GetDucks.com is not providing any services itself, and has no interest in or control over the actions of these entities. GetDucks.com strives to investigate fully every service provider and to ensure that it only utilizes the highest quality service providers. However, the client acknowledges and agrees that the availability of services offered by providers and the financial stability of the service providers cannot be guaranteed by GetDucks.com. Likewise, GetDucks.com cannot guarantee either the quality or quantity of game bagged, or the quality of the weather for the trip. GetDucks.com continually strives to provide the greatest opportunity to the best destinations with the most reputable service providers it can find in order to offer an exceptional hunting experience, nothing less.
2. COVENANT NOT TO SUE
The client agrees, individually and on the behalf of any personal representatives, heirs or next of kin to waive, release, and covenants not to sue GetDucks.com or its affiliates for any and all claims for damages in tort, contract, or otherwise, including but not limited to personal injury and financial loss arising from the negligence or other acts or omissions of any service provider utilized during the client’s trip.
3. LIMITATION OF DAMAGES AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY
The client expressly acknowledges that hunting and fishing trips may frequently involve physical activity and certain inherently dangerous activities. The Client is hereby expressly limiting any liability for damages stemming from any negligent acts or omissions by GetDucks.com to the portion of the fees paid for the trip which represent the fees of GetDucks.com exclusive of the fees of the service providers.

Furthermore, the Client releases GetDucks.com and its agents from any liability for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages which may arise.

Within sixty (60) days of the hunt arrival date, the Client is responsible for full payment of total land package costs. There is no refund for any unused portion of the land package.

Deposits cannot be refunded in part or in whole, nor can they generally be applied towards another hunt destination. In the instance that borders are open and it is possible for client to redeem hunt, whether with or without vaccination requirements, and whether with or without a negative test requirements to re-enter the United States, clients shall either redeem their hunt during their scheduled timeframe or forfeit all monies paid. If the destination country requires a negative test for entry and the client cannot travel due to testing positive, all monies will be applied without refund to a future date at the reserved destination inasmuch as client provides proof of positive test results, less and except any expenses already incurred by operator preceding the hunt (licenses, permits, etc.).
