Off the Beaten Path, Inc. requires consumers be free of aggression toward others. If Off the Beaten Path, Inc. determines a consumer has become unmanageable while on vacation, the consumer will be responsible for any costs incurred (i.e., emergency transportation home, property damage, etc.) and will not be entitled to a refund.

Off the Beaten Path, Inc. will provide supervision as indicated and commissioned by the consumer, provider, and/or guardian, but if Off the Beaten Path, Inc. determines a functioning level and/or behavior has been misrepresented, and if an adjustment to the proper tour-guide-to-consumer ratio is not available, the consumer’s vacation will be terminated. If Off the Beaten Path, Inc. cannot provide transportation home due to the commitment to ratios set prior to the vacation, the consumer (residential provider, social worker, and/or guardian) will be responsible for emergency transportation home.

Off the Beaten Path, Inc. may utilize county or city facilities and/or crisis units if provider is unable to arrange transportation. Such facilities may also be used in cases of physical assault and/or endangerment to self or others. If the provider is unwilling to abide by Off the Beaten Path’s Reservation Policies and Contract, the consumer will be considered abandoned, and we will utilize county or city services and/or crisis units. The provider may then work with the county, city or state facility for arrangements home. Off the Beaten Path, Inc. will have then fulfilled its contractual obligation.

Off the Beaten Path, Inc. and its staff are not responsible for harm to person or property due to self-injurious behavior, or any loss or breakage of personal items brought to, or purchased on, the vacation. Off the Beaten Path, Inc. is released from liability due to a consumer voluntarily departing the group (elopement). Off the Beaten Path, Inc. will report the elopement to police and guardian/social worker/contact person and continue with the vacation.

Off the Beaten Path, Inc. will not be liable for any bodily injury or property damage resulting from conditions beyond our control, such as weather, theft, strikes, terrorism, civil disturbances, or airline cancellations. Off the Beaten Path, Inc also reserves the right to substitute activities, accommodations or alter the itinerary when necessary. If a consumer becomes ill and cannot continue to travel with the group, and requires emergency transportation home, the consumer (residential provider, social worker, and/or guardian) will be responsible for arranging emergency transportation home.
