In such cases we will advise you as soon as is possible and will make a full refund of all monies paid, less reasonable expenses. We cannot however, be under any other liability to you in such circumstances. For Group Tours, EQUINOX reserves the right to cancel the tour if the minimum number of persons required to operate the tour is not met. In such an event all deposits and other monies paid to EQUINOX will be returned. EQUINOX tries never to cancel your holiday but must reserve the right to do so.
