Yes. CampoAventuras reserves the right of admission. A registration may be refused or cancelled without stating a reason, provided no discriminatory motive is involved (Law 1482/2011). The most common operational reasons are: medical information incompatible with the activities, incomplete or unverifiable documentation, conduct history that could compromise group safety, or non-compliance with the payment plan. If the refusal is attributable to CampoAventuras, 100% of the total paid is refunded. If it is due to the participant or guardian (false data, invalid documentation), the standard cancellation policy applies.
