• The method of payment will depend on whether the reservation is made from abroad or within Chile. If it is from abroad, the payment of the reservation must be made through our PayPal link. In this case, the client must assume the costs corresponding to the commission charged by PayPal for making payments from abroad (the amount of the commission varies according to the amount to be paid). If the payment of the reservation is made within the country (Chile), it must be made through electronic bank transfer, which will be informed to the client.

About cancellations and rescheduling:

• In case of contagion, health problems, declaration of quarantine in areas where the activity takes place or because of border closures due to the Covid-19 virus and other cases: If you made your reservation (you paid 30% or 50% of the total price of the activity as a reservation), you will be able to RESCHEDULE the date of the activity, on any date of the 2022-2023 SEASON (which will be subject to availability). The paid reservation will remain valid until it is used on the rescheduled date. To this end, AllMountain will grant the absolute flexibility necessary and possible, provided that reasonable notice and coordination is given in advance of the date reserved for the rescheduled activity.
• In case of absolute impossibility of rescheduling or for reasons of force majeure, our clients have a maximum period to CANCEL the contracted activity 30 days (for expeditions and activities of more than 2 days) and 10 days (for trekking and activities that are only 1 day) PRIOR to the day the activity starts, in case of not being able to attend. This cancellation must be made in a clear and justified manner by the client, through the same means in which contact with the client is maintained.
  In case of failure to comply with the deadline stipulated above, there will be no refunds of money paid for the reservation.
• In case of not being in adequate conditions to perform the activity (presenting symptoms of having consumed drugs, alcohol or any psychotropic substance), AllMountain will cancel the activity and there will be no refund of the money already paid for the reservation.

Money refunds:

• Once the activity has started and finished, no money will be refunded in case of dissatisfaction with the activity.

The total amount of the reservation cannot be refunded because, as part of our fair trade policies, we seek to pay our suppliers in advance, according to previous agreement with them. In case of failure to comply with the above stipulated deadline, there will be no refund of your reservation.  It is for this reason, that we prioritize to offer the client the opportunity to change the date of the trip for a future one, during the 2022-2023 season, and at a value equal or superior to that of the booked activity.
• The refund of the money corresponding to half of the amount paid for the reservation will be made, as far as possible, through the same means in which the customer made the payment of the reservation. For this purpose, AllMountain will have a maximum period of 15 working days from the date of request or notice of cancellation of the activity to refund the amount paid.
