Terms & Conditions

Every cultural experience runs on terms set by the host community, as described in our Indigenous Partnership Principles. Group sizes, dates, sites, and what may be photographed or recorded are set by the community and are not negotiable at any tier.

Access to specific experiences depends on your membership tier. Tier inclusions are described on the Journeys and Membership pages and may change as communities revise their terms.

We may postpone, relocate, or withdraw from an experience where a community asks us to, where a permit is refused, or where conditions make the visit unsafe or unwelcome. Where that happens we will offer an alternative date or a proportionate credit.

Members are expected to observe the protocol briefing issued before departure. We reserve the right to end a member's participation, without refund, where protocol is disregarded or a host asks us to intervene.

Paired stays, flights, and other travel products are supplied by third parties — including our sister brand Travel Club Navigator — under their own booking terms. We introduce and coordinate; we are not the supplier of those services.

Global mobility, residency, and relocation counsel is provided by Niiji Consulting Inc trading as Niiji Global under its own engagement terms. Nothing on this site is legal, tax, or immigration advice.

You are responsible for your own passports, visas, permits, vaccinations, and travel insurance. We strongly recommend comprehensive insurance including medical evacuation for remote and Arctic itineraries.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

Subject to that, our total liability in connection with your membership is limited to the membership fees you have paid to us in the twelve months before the claim arose.

We are not liable for the acts or omissions of third-party suppliers, or for losses caused by events outside our reasonable control, including weather, ice conditions, permit decisions, strikes, and community closures.

We may update these terms. Where a change materially affects your rights we will tell you before it takes effect, and you may cancel without penalty if you do not accept it.

These terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which The Horizon Circle is established, and the courts of that jurisdiction have exclusive jurisdiction.
