I agree to pay for lost or damaged rental equipment. I understand that Rio Buffalo agrees to limit my liability for property damage or loss to the fair market value of the equipment at the time of the loss, or to a reasonable cost of repair to damaged equipment. I understand that Rio Buffalo requires the first days payment at the time of reservation and any remaining balance will automatically be charged fourteen (14) days prior to the reservation date. All but Ten Dollar ($10.00 USD) per boat is refundable if a cancellation is made before fourteen (14) days from the reservation date. I understand that there is a Ten Dollar ($10.00 USD) processing fee for all cancelled vehicle shuttle reservations. I agree to pay a One Hundred and Fifty Dollar ($150.00 USD) boat recovery fee for all boats that Rio Buffalo staff has to retrieve outside of the designated take out location. I understand the late equipment policy and that there will be a Thirty Dollar ($30.00 USD) per hour late fee charged for each boat that arrives at the take out point after 7:00PM. I understand that Rio Buffalo will do everything they can to accommodate change of plan requests as well as resolve issues caused by customer vehicle breakdowns, but additional charges will likely be incurred.​

Cancellation. Rio Buffalo has a fourteen (14) day cancellation policy. A reservation may be cancelled at any time prior to fourteen days before the reservation date. A customer cancellation less than fourteen days before the reservation date will result in no refund. Rio Buffalo reserves the right to cancel any reservation due to high water, flows that are too low to launch in the upper district, or severe weather(any of the foregoing in Rio Buffalo’s sole discretion). Rio Buffalo operates rain or shine but a full refund will be issued if the river is in flood stage or high stage and rising. In the unlikely event of a cancellation by Rio Buffalo a refund or raincheck for the full reservation amount will result. All customer cancellations must be made by telephonic communication with Rio Buffalo.​

Rio Buffalo reserves the right to cancel any raft reservation if Rio Buffalo deems the river levels too low for a raft or too high for safe floating. In the event of low flows, Rio Buffalo will credit the customer’s raft rental fee towards a canoe or kayak rental, if available. If the adequate numbers of canoes or kayaks are not available, Rio Buffalo will issue a full refund of the raft rental amount.​I understand that Rio Buffalo reserves the right to refuse service to any person it judges to be incapable of meeting the rigors of canoeing or other activities facilitated by Rio Buffalo, at its sole discretion, or to any person that is under the influence of alcohol or narcotics or could otherwise be a danger to themselves or others.I, the vehicle owner/agent or authorized user of vehicle, acknowledge and accept that shuttling includes risks and dangers to thevehicle some of which are as follows: damage from hitting wildlife or livestock, damage from driving on rough roads, flat tires, being hit by falling debris, chips to windshield, collision with other motorists, or loss of control on part of the driver.
