​
7. Disruptions & Force Majeure
You acknowledge that unexpected events may disrupt your travel or affect the delivery of your package. These include, but are not limited to, natural disasters, flight delays, supplier issues, civil unrest, government-imposed restrictions, or extreme weather.

Make every effort to minimise the impact of disruptions,

Offer reasonable support and assistance,
