(b) If any act of God, public enemies, authority of law, quarantine,
perils of navigation, riots, strikes, the hazards or dangers incident
to a state of war, accidents, breakdowns, bad conditions of the
road, and other conditions beyond its control, make it in the
opinion of the Carrier, inadvisable to operate the chartered vehicle
either from the place of origin or any point en route, the Carrier
shall not be liable therefore.
20. EQUIPMENT: Equipment furnished b the Company is thoroughly
inspected before being assigned to the charter service to insure
uninterrupted service. IF for some reason, beyond the control of
the Company, a mechanical failure of any kind makes necessary the
replacement of a bus originally assigned to the charter service,
the replacement bus may be a different type. In no case shall the
Company be liable for consequential damages resulting from mechanical
failure or delay. Also, the Carrier will not refund for mechanical
failure of standard amenities such as VCR or radio. The Carrier
reserves the right to lease equipment form other companies in order
to fulfill this charter agreement.

and FIREWORKS: Explosives
or fireworks shall not be carried on buses or exploded or set off

safety hazard, ski boot holders may only be carried in baggage compartments
beneath the bus.
26. UNUSUAL
CLEANING: When the nature
of the charter trip is such that a greater than normal amount of
time and material will be necessary to clean bus properly upon return

cost to cover such additional time and materials.

Member is declared bankrupt. The CPP then applies to qualifying
Consumer deposits or prepayments which were made to the bankrupt
NTA Tour Operator Member for a prearranged group tour. The CPP also
applies to a Consumer's qualifying deposit or prepayment for a prearranged
group tour which was placed by a travel agent on behalf of that
Consumer with a bankrupt NTA Tour Operator Member. Effective January
1, 1997, the CPP's liability for qualifying Consumer's losses is
limited to $250,000 per bankrupt NTA Tour Operator Member with a
maximum limit for all losses being the total assets of the CPP from
time to time. The acceptance of Consumers' claims by the CPP is
strictly governed by the terms and conditions of the CPP and nothing
contained herein operates as a waiver or limitation of any right
or defense available pursuant to the CPP.
For further information regarding the terms and conditions of the
CPP or a copy of the CPP, or to verify this operator is a member
in good standing with NTA, contact the NTA Consumer Protection Plan,
