Following withdrawals from the number of participants booked and not notified at least 15 days before the date of the stay, the deposits paid by registered non-participants will not be used to pay the balance of the persons attending the stay. In this case, the person in charge of the group will have to pay the balance on site, including the balance of the services provided for those not taking part in the holiday, with the exception of a serious justified reason (illness, accident, etc.).
For weekends and courses (Activities + Accommodation + Catering)
More than 60 days before departure: 10% of the total price

For organisational or staffing reasons, EVP reserves the right to alter the timetable of a holiday.
For safety reasons: flooding, bad weather or other serious reasons, EVP - Eau Vive Passion may change the route of a descent, modify or cancel the programme of a holiday.
For white-water sports, the actual time taken to descend the rivers may be shorter than the time indicated on our brochure. This may be due mainly to the speed of the current as the water rises, which is higher in spring (snow melt) or following heavy rain. In spring, and depending on the water level, we may have to navigate on the upper reaches of the Ubaye, so the meeting point may have to be changed and you may have to bring your own vehicle.
