14. GUIDED EXCURSIONS: Because variations in elevation can be extreme in an off-road environment (see above DRIFTS/DROP OFFS in Paragraph 12) all BEST ATV Tours Las Vegas, LLC tours require that Renter follows a guide. Taking a different path than the guide on these tours is not permitted and greatly increases the likelihood of Vehicle damage and/or personal injury.

Should you be unsure of which way your guide went STOP, at no time attempt to go look for the guide as this makes it more difficult to locate you. IF YOU ARE LOST – STOP WHERE YOU ARE BEFORE YOU BECOME BOTH LOST AND FAR AWAY and wait for the guide to come back and find you. We can easily retrace a path taken to get back to you in a matter of minutes but can only guess as to which direction you drove off in if you continue to drive after losing contact with your guide.

28. THE THREATENED DESERT TORTOISE INFORMATION. It is important to protect the inhabitants we share the desert landscape with, which includes those big and small, fast and slow. This level of care is what enables us to explore and enjoy the desert. The desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) in the Mojave Desert was federally listed under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 as a threatened species on April 2, 1990, because of direct losses and threats to their populations and habitat. The desert tortoise is the largest reptile, and the only land tortoise in the Southwest United States. The tortoise occurs in southern Nevada, western Arizona, southeastern California, and northwestern Mexico. Desert Tortoises are typically found in creosote bush, cactus and shad scale scrub, and Joshua Tree woodland habitats below 5000’ elevation. If you see a tortoise do not touch it or go near it. Inform your guide.
29. CHARGEBACKS: Customers who lie in order to receive a chargeback are committing fraud; it is BEST ATV Tours Las Vegas, LLC’s policy to bring customers to court over fraudulent chargebacks.
