Fish Camp General Terms and Conditions
CSWW INC., DBA NORTH 40 OUTFITTERS
Effective as of July 26, 2023
These General Terms and Conditons (hereinafter “GTC”) apply to any style of destination fishing trip offered by CSWW, Inc., dba House of Fly. Please carefully read through this document in its’ entirety before booking your trip.
CSWW, Inc., dba House of Fly (its owners, employees, shareholders, affiliated entities, agents, representatives, officers, directors, associates, successors and assigns, individually or collectively, are hereinafter referred to as “House of Fly”, or “HOF” for short, or simply as “We”), periodically organizes and/or conducts two different styles of destination fishing trips for guests, customers, and other fishing enthusiasts. They are:
Fish Camp Style Trips: This is a straightforward and unassuming fishing-first style of trip, hosted by a handful of us with House of Fly. Our Fish Camp experience is a litle bit different than the traditional hosted/lodge trip. With our Fish Camps, we are inviting you along to what would otherwise be a group of us planning our own trip somewhere. This keeps the trip simple, affordable, and approachable for anyone. To put it simply, it gets you to some fishy destinations at a lower rate. We will still hire the guides, find local accommodations to stay at, cover the meals, and organize the logistics around getting everyone there and having a good time.
Hosted Style Trips: Hosted trips include a lodge or outfitter who we have partnered with to pull off an incredible experience that begins the moment you arrive at your destination. All of the details and fishing experience are handled by the lodge/outfitter. We are involved in much of the planning, coordination, and camaraderie that you are expecting, and this is where the “host” comes in. As the trip host, HOF will atempt to ensure that every detail is atended to during your trip.
With either style of trip, HOF acts only as an agent or intermediary for the various independent contractors or suppliers that provide accommodations, meals, transportation, guides and guide services sightseeing, or other activities or goods and services connected with your trip (referred to as “Supplier” or “Suppliers”). As a result, HOF assumes no responsibility for and cannot be held liable for any negligent or willful act or failure to act of any Supplier, or of any other person or entity. A Supplier’s services are subject to the Supplier’s own terms and conditions and the local laws and regulations of the relevant country, state, territory, etc. HOF will not provide any refund for a Supplier’s delay, cancellation, overbooking, strike, government restrictions or interventions, pandemics, force majeure, or the like, nor will HOF provide any refund for elements of the trip that you do not use but paid for.
Trip Deposits, Final Payment and Cancellations.
Deposits are required to secure your registration on any HOF trip. We will do our best to hold space based on your interest in a trip but cannot guarantee you a spot until a deposit is made.
Deposits will require a 50% down payment.
Final payment is due 60 days prior to the arrival/check-in date of the trip.
In the event of cancellation, we will always do our best to refund your deposit. Cancellations prior to 30 days from date of arrival/check-in may receive partial or full refund. Cancellations within 30 days of arrival/check-in are not eligible for refund. These are general cancellation and refund terms for all trips, but each trip may have a different cancellation and refund schedule.
Licenses
Fishing license requirements may vary by state and/or country. In destinations where fishing licenses must be purchased and carried, it will be the ultimate responsibility of each individual to obtain the correct licenses and/or permits required.
Purchase your own trip/travel/interruption/cancellation/delay, etc., insurance. Regardless of type of trip, you will be investing your time and money in the destination trip. HOF strongly encourages all participants to purchase an insurance package to protect that investment of your time and your money.
If you become ill or are injured on the trip; if your flight connections do not work out and you miss all or part of the trip; you had a last minute personal or professional circumstance that requires you to cancel or return early, etc., are all things that the right insurance policy can assist you with and/or reimburse you for. It is worth your time to explore thoroughly these types of insurances and purchase what coverages best suit you and your investment in the Trip.
Medical Considerations: If you have any medical or psychological conditions, it is very important you let us know well before departure so that we can atempt to make extra arrangements if necessary. HOF trip leaders have the right to disqualify anyone at any time during the trip if they feel the trip participant is mentally or physically incapable to continue and/or if a trip participant's continued participation jeopardizes the groups or his/her own safety. Under these circumstances refunds are not given. HOF is not a medical facility and therefore has no responsibility regarding medical advice, medications, or inoculations that you or your doctor deem necessary for your safe participation. Hospital facilities for serious problems are often unavailable, and evacuation can be prolonged, difficult, and expensive.
Again, HOF strongly encourages you purchase trip/travel/interruption/cancellation/delay, etc., insurance package to deal with these types of problematic situations that could arise and negatively impact your trip. HOF assumes no liability regarding provision of medical care. You agree to be solely responsible for all costs of all your emergency evacuation and emergency medical care, with or without insurance.
Some of your Obligations as a Trip Participant. By participating in an HOF trip, you assume certain obligations to HOF and the other trip participants. It is your responsibility to:
- Select a trip that is appropriate to your interests and abilities and prepare for the trip by familiarizing yourself with the itinerary, and any changes to the itinerary that might occur.

HOF not responsible for Suppliers, items not in its control or changes in Itinerary.
