Liability Release Waiver & Participant Agreement

Please read carefully before signing. This is a legally significant agreement. Each adult participant must sign a separate waiver. A parent or legal guardian must sign for a minor participating in an eligible Activity. Your safety and enjoyment are important to Salsa Tours PR LLC ("Salsa Tours PR"). Participation may involve physical exertion, outdoor conditions, transportation, interaction with other participants and other risks.

This Participant Agreement, Assumption of Risk & Release (“Agreement”) describes important conditions relating to participation in experiences, tours, classes, excursions, workshops, transportation services, cultural activities and other activities offered, coordinated or arranged through Salsa Tours PR LLC (“Salsa Tours PR”).

This Agreement applies to the specific Activity identified in the participant’s reservation or booking record.

This Agreement may be presented for electronic acceptance during the booking process or through a separate participant waiver process.

Simply viewing this Agreement on the Salsa Tours PR website does not constitute acceptance.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to eliminate or restrict any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be waived under the laws of Puerto Rico or applicable federal law.

This Agreement does not replace the specific price, inclusions, cancellation policy, refund policy, rescheduling terms or other material booking conditions disclosed and accepted at the time of reservation.

Salsa Tours PR offers and coordinates a variety of tourism, cultural, recreational and entertainment experiences.

Depending upon the reservation, Activities may include dance and cultural classes; private or group instruction; walking, historical and customized tours; outdoor and nature activities; water-related excursions; food and beverage experiences; nightlife activities; transportation; corporate events; performances; and other tourism or cultural experiences.

The participant’s confirmed reservation identifies the specific Activity being purchased.

An Activity may be:

1. operated directly by Salsa Tours PR;
2. operated with an authorized instructor, guide or independent contractor; or
3. operated wholly or partly by an independent third-party experience provider.

Third-party providers may require their own waivers, safety acknowledgments, rules or terms and conditions.

The involvement of Salsa Tours PR in marketing, booking, arranging or coordinating an Activity does not automatically mean that Salsa Tours PR owns, operates, controls or insures every third-party service involved in that Activity.

Nothing in this provision eliminates a responsibility imposed by applicable law.

Participation in recreational, cultural, tourism, outdoor and physical Activities may involve inherent and foreseeable risks that cannot be completely eliminated even when reasonable precautions are taken.

Depending upon the Activity, risks may include slips, trips, falls, collisions, physical exertion, muscle strains, fatigue, dehydration, heat, sun exposure, insect bites, allergic reactions, uneven surfaces, sand, rocks, changing weather, rain, flooding, water conditions, waves, currents, marine life, transportation movement, boarding or exiting vehicles or vessels, food or beverage reactions, and interaction with other participants or members of the public.

Certain Activities, including boating, swimming, snorkeling, rainforest, river, waterfall, hiking or other higher-risk outdoor Activities, may require an additional Activity-specific acknowledgment or waiver.

By voluntarily participating, the participant acknowledges and accepts the inherent risks reasonably associated with the Activity selected.

No recreational, outdoor, transportation or physical Activity can be guaranteed to be completely risk-free.

Each participant is responsible for determining whether they can safely participate in the selected Activity.

Participants should notify the assigned instructor, guide, Team Member or applicable Activity provider before participating if they have an injury, allergy, physical limitation, medical circumstance or assistance need that may materially affect safe participation.

Participants are responsible for carrying any medication, medical device or personal supplies they normally require.

Salsa Tours PR instructors, guides and Team Members are not necessarily licensed medical professionals.

A participant should discontinue participation and notify the Activity leader if the participant believes they can no longer safely continue.

Participants must follow reasonable safety instructions provided by Salsa Tours PR, authorized instructors, guides, transportation providers and applicable Activity operators.

Participants are expected to use appropriate clothing and footwear, use required safety equipment, respect other participants and the environment, and refrain from behavior that creates an unreasonable risk to themselves or others.

Salsa Tours PR or the applicable Activity operator may refuse, suspend or discontinue participation when reasonably necessary for safety, including when a participant:

disregards reasonable safety instructions;

engages in violent, threatening or dangerous conduct;

appears materially impaired by alcohol or drugs; or

creates an unreasonable safety risk to themselves or another person.

Any refund, credit or rescheduling following removal from an Activity will be determined according to the booking terms applicable to the reservation and applicable law.

Outdoor Activities are subject to weather, environmental, access, government, property and safety conditions that may change before or during an Activity.

When reasonably necessary because of safety concerns, weather, environmental conditions, governmental or property restrictions, emergencies or circumstances outside the reasonable control of the operator, an Activity may be delayed, modified, relocated, rescheduled or cancelled.

A modification or relocation does not itself determine whether a participant is entitled to a refund.

Refunds, credits and rescheduling rights are governed by the specific conditions disclosed and accepted at the time of booking and applicable consumer law.

Nothing in this Agreement permits Salsa Tours PR to materially misrepresent the Activity purchased or eliminates a remedy otherwise available to a consumer under applicable law.

Some Activities include transportation operated by Salsa Tours PR or an authorized independent transportation provider.

Transportation involves ordinary risks associated with road travel, traffic, road conditions, vehicle movement, sudden stops, entering or exiting vehicles and actions of other drivers.

When a participant uses a personal vehicle, rental vehicle, taxi, rideshare or other transportation not included in the confirmed Activity, that transportation is independently arranged by the participant.

Salsa Tours PR automobile insurance does not cover a privately arranged vehicle merely because that vehicle is used in connection with an Activity.

Independent transportation providers remain responsible for their own vehicles, drivers, permits, insurance and operations as required by applicable law.

Certain experiences available through Salsa Tours PR may be provided wholly or partly by independent experience providers.

When another business or provider operates a portion of an Activity, that provider remains responsible for the services it operates to the extent required by law.

Salsa Tours PR may act as a booking, marketplace, marketing, referral or coordination platform for certain independent experiences rather than as the direct operator.

Participants may be required to accept additional terms, safety instructions or waivers directly from an independent provider.

Nothing in this section waives any non-waivable legal responsibility of Salsa Tours PR or another provider.

Certain Activities may include food, beverages, tastings or visits to restaurants, bars or hospitality establishments.

Participants are responsible for informing the applicable provider of relevant food allergies or dietary restrictions before consumption.

Alcohol may be provided only where legally permitted and in accordance with the age requirements of the Activity and establishment.

Participants consuming alcohol agree to do so responsibly.

Salsa Tours PR or an applicable operator may discontinue a participant’s involvement when intoxication or impairment creates a reasonable safety concern.

Independent restaurants, bars and venues control their own admission policies, alcohol service and establishment rules.

Activity-specific minimum age requirements apply.

When a participant does not have legal capacity to independently provide the authorization required for a particular Activity, Salsa Tours PR may require authorization from a parent, legal guardian or other person legally authorized to provide consent.

Additional authorization may also be required for certain higher-risk Activities.

Nothing in this Agreement attempts to waive or release rights belonging to a minor or another person when such waiver or release is prohibited or unenforceable under applicable law.

If an accident, illness or emergency occurs during an Activity, Salsa Tours PR and its authorized personnel may contact emergency services and request reasonably necessary assistance.

Emergency treatment or transportation may be provided by independent emergency or medical professionals.

Salsa Tours PR does not control the medical decisions of independent emergency personnel.

Participants remain responsible for medical or emergency transportation expenses attributable to them to the extent permitted by law and subject to applicable insurance coverage.

Participants are responsible for reasonably safeguarding their personal belongings, including phones, wallets, bags, clothing, jewelry, cameras and other property.

Beach, outdoor, water and nightlife Activities may create additional risk of loss, theft, water exposure or damage.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Salsa Tours PR is not responsible for loss or damage resulting solely from a participant’s failure to reasonably safeguard personal belongings or from inherent environmental circumstances outside Salsa Tours PR’s reasonable control.

Nothing in this section releases any person or entity from responsibility that cannot legally be waived.

By accepting this Agreement and voluntarily participating in an Activity, the participant knowingly assumes the inherent risks reasonably associated with the selected Activity.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Puerto Rico law, the participant agrees not to hold Salsa Tours PR LLC, its officers, Team Members, authorized instructors, guides and contractors responsible for injury, loss or damage resulting solely from:

the inherent risks voluntarily assumed by the participant;

the participant’s own acts or omissions;

the participant’s failure to follow reasonable safety instructions; or

acts or circumstances created exclusively by an independent third party over whom Salsa Tours PR has no legally attributable control or responsibility.

This Agreement does not release Salsa Tours PR or any other person or entity from intentional misconduct, gross negligence, liability that cannot validly be waived, violation of applicable law or any other responsibility that Puerto Rico law does not permit a party to disclaim.

Nothing in this Agreement creates insurance coverage or expands coverage under any insurance policy.

This Agreement primarily concerns participation, safety and assumption of risk.

The price, cancellation conditions, refund conditions, deposits, rescheduling requirements, minimum participation requirements and other commercial conditions applicable to a reservation are the conditions disclosed and accepted at the time of booking.

Reservations made through third-party platforms may also be governed by the applicable platform terms.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive consumer rights that cannot legally be waived or to prevent a consumer from exercising rights available under applicable Puerto Rico law.

Promotional photography and video authorization is not granted merely by accepting this Participant Agreement.

When Salsa Tours PR requests authorization to use a participant’s image or likeness for promotional purposes, that authorization will be requested separately.

Promotional photo and video consent is optional unless participation in a specific production or recorded Activity has been expressly identified as an essential element of the Activity before booking.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and applicable federal law.

Any judicial dispute concerning this Agreement must be brought before a court having lawful jurisdiction.

Where venue in San Juan is legally proper, San Juan, Puerto Rico shall be considered an appropriate venue.

Nothing in this provision prevents a consumer from using an administrative or judicial forum available under applicable law.

If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the extent permitted by law.

Salsa Tours PR may present this Agreement for electronic acceptance.

A participant’s affirmative electronic action, when properly recorded by Salsa Tours PR’s reservation or waiver system, may serve as evidence of acceptance to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Salsa Tours PR may retain information associated with an electronic acceptance, including the participant or purchaser name, booking number, Activity, booking source, date and time of acceptance, and the version of this Agreement accepted.

The participant must have reasonable access to review this Agreement before accepting it and must be able to retain or subsequently access a copy.

Acceptance of the commercial terms of a reservation by the person making the purchase does not automatically constitute an individual liability waiver on behalf of every other adult participant included in the reservation.

Salsa Tours PR may require each applicable participant to separately complete or electronically accept the Participant Agreement before participating in the Activity.

When legal authorization from a parent, guardian or other legally authorized person is required, Salsa Tours PR may require that authorization before participation.

A person electronically accepting this Agreement confirms that they have had a reasonable opportunity to review it, understand the nature of the Activity and its inherent risks, and voluntarily agree to its applicable terms.

The accepting person further confirms that the Agreement was presented in a language they understand sufficiently to provide informed consent.
