You can also obtain your own legal advice on them, should you wish to do so. We honestly believe that all statements made in our website are factual and correct.  Every reasonable effort has been made to describe the placement and to provide the amenities described.

We will not plan a program until you have sent us your flight details. We are not at the position to be responsible for any flight, travel or other costs or expenses of any nature.

Collection from the Airport
On receipt of your flight details we will organize for you to be picked up from the airport and transported  to your accommodation in Kathmandu. This is covered in the cost of your volunteer fee and as such there will be no charge, We will  try our very best to be on time. We can not be held accountable for problems such as vehicles breaking down, but we will do our best to meet you punctually. Also please note that we are not permitted to enter the arrivals hall of the airport so we will meet you just outside with a name plate. The area is not big and it should be easy to find each other.

Expenses
You are responsible for all of your personal expenses during your training and placement , which includes the cost of transport from your placement to other activities. This is not expensive and we can provide approximate costs if you request them from our office. As a volunteer, you agree that you will not request any payment from  AIDS ALLIANCE Nepal.

You are responsible for ensuring that the amount and type of cover is sufficient and appropriate for the nature and location of your placement. You must provide us with a copy of your certificate of insurance as soon as possible. This insurance should at least cover; the cost of cancellation of the placement by you; the cost of assistance including repatriation in the event of accident or illness; legal liability and expenses; lost baggage; cancelled flights; medical expenses; kidnapping; liability arising due to personal injury to you or a third party; cancellation of your placement for any other reason including our liquidation or any other reason beyond our control.
