I agree and certify that my passport is valid for at least 6 months from my last day in Hungary.  If I realize, after the cancellation deadline and after being assigned to a flight that this is not the case, my Trip Organizer may cancel my Trip, without refunding my registration fee, if I cannot obtain a new passport in a designated amount of time before the Trip.

Further, you expressly acknowledge and agree that you are aware of the ongoing conflict in the region surrounding Hungary, including without limitation, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. As such, you acknowledge the associated risk of visiting the region and you assume all liability and risk of loss, property damage, bodily injury and/or death that may result from or arise therefrom and hereby irrevocably release Chabad on Campus now and in the future from any and all liability and loss associated with your trip, including with respect to the ongoing conflict in the region.
