1. ABOUT US AND SCOPE OF SERVICES
Teron Hunts (operated by OmniLynx Digital j.d.o.o., headquartered in Split, Croatia) acts both as an organizer of hunting trips and as an intermediary/agent for hunting services provided by third-party hunting ground operators. These Terms and Conditions govern all hunting arrangements organized or brokered by Teron Hunts in various hunting destinations including, but not limited to, Croatia, Mozambique, and Tajikistan.
When Teron Hunts acts solely as an intermediary, a contractual relationship for the corresponding hunting services is concluded with the partner company providing those services, in accordance with their terms and conditions, in addition to our own. As an intermediary, Teron Hunts is only responsible for the proper processing of the arrangement but not for the implementation of the hunting services provided by third parties.
2. RESERVATION AND CONFIRMATION OF THE HUNT
Reservation Process – After selecting your desired hunt from our offer, you will complete and send us the inquiry form. By signing this form, you have engaged our services to prepare your hunting arrangement. Upon receiving our specific offer with prices and travel itinerary, you will sign the “Hunting Contract” and pay the organization fee and required deposit to confirm your reservation.
Confirmation of Hunt Reservation – A hunt reservation is considered confirmed only upon receipt of the signed “Hunting Contract” and payment of the deposit. The deposit for big game hunting is €1,000 for all hunts, except for driven hunts. For small game hunting, no deposit is required if the group is smaller than 5 hunters. For larger groups, the deposit is €100 per hunter. Deposit payment deadlines vary for different hunts, ranging from 6 months to 1 month before the start of the hunt. This deadline is determined individually for each request.
3. PAYMENT TERMS
Payment Schedule – The hunt must be paid in advance to our agency account no later than 45 days before the hunter’s arrival, with any differences settled after the hunt, in cash. In package prices, the exchange rate for Croatian Kuna to Euro is €1 = 7.3 HRK for hunts in Croatia. If the currency exchange rate changes on the payment day, prices will change accordingly, as all shooting prices in Croatia are based on Croatian Kuna. For hunts in Mozambique and Tajikistan, prices are fixed in Euro or US Dollar as specified in the hunting contract.
Processing Fee – For hunting trips, our agency charges a processing fee in addition to the trip price for each initial booking, regardless of whether the booked trip is actually taken. This fee is non-refundable and is stated in our travel proposal. For each rebooking and cancellation by the customer (for which the agency is not responsible), an additional processing fee may be charged. Unless otherwise specified in the travel proposal, this fee amounts to €150.00 for hunting customers and €90.00 for non-hunting customers.
4. CANCELLATION POLICY
Cancellation by Customer – The customer may withdraw from the hunting contract at any time prior to the start of the hunt. Cancellation must be notified to the agency in writing. If you cancel your reservation, the agency retains the paid organizational costs, and the deposit is refunded according to the following schedule:
Up to 60 days before the start of the hunt: 100% refund of deposit
60 to 20 days before the start of the hunt: 50% refund of deposit
Less than 20 days before the start of the hunt: no refund of deposit
If a hunter does not come during the hunting season for a specific year, the deposit is not refundable. Changing the arrival date within the same hunting season will be considered if possible. The deposit cannot be transferred to another hunter. The paid deposit is deducted from the final invoice.
Cancellation by Agency – For any changes in an agreed hunt, the agency will inform the hunter and find a suitable solution for both parties. If a solution cannot be found, the agency will return any advance payment and paid deposit to the hunter. The agency may cancel the hunt for any unexpected reasons, including force majeure circumstances such as epidemics, natural disasters, civil unrest, governmental restrictions, or any other circumstances beyond the agency’s control. If a hunt is canceled by our agency, we will return any advance paid deposit or hunt payment within 14 days.
5. REFUND POLICY
If a trophy is not taken from big game packages, hunters do not have to pay the trophy fee that is included in the package price, unless informed differently. If a hunter has paid the hunt in advance, the trophy fee will be returned.
If the customer does not use individual travel services, which the agency was ready and able to provide in accordance with the contract, for reasons for which the customer is responsible, they shall not be entitled to a refund of the paid price.
Should it occur that the game hunt booked as part of a hunting trip is not possible for reasons beyond the customer’s control, the portion of the tour price paid that is attributable to the “hunting price” cost item will be refunded.
6. CONDUCT OF THE HUNT
Hunter’s Responsibilities – The hunting guest must carry personal documents, have a valid hunting license and weapons permit, and behave in accordance with the hunting laws of the country in which they are hunting. When accompanied by a guide, the guest will take the shot only with the guide’s approval, or in exceptional circumstances when the guest is unaccompanied, they will hunt only according to the instructions of the hunt leader. If a shot is taken that is not in accordance with the agreement, the guest is obligated to pay the cost of damages. The hunter is responsible for their behavior in the hunting ground and for every shot fired.
Hunting Success – The agency does not guarantee hunting success. However, the agency will strive, with due diligence, to ensure that the customer can obtain the booked kill. Success requires hunting skill and, ultimately, luck.
Ethical Hunting Standards – All hunts organized or brokered by Teron Hunts adhere to strict ethical hunting principles and local conservation regulations. Hunters are expected to:
Respect wildlife and the natural environment
Practice fair chase principles
Ensure clean, humane kills
Make full use of harvested game
Support conservation efforts through their participation
Violations of ethical hunting principles may result in immediate termination of the hunt without refund and potential reporting to relevant wildlife authorities.
Missed Shots and Wounded Game – In the event of a miss (a shot fired by the hunter that misses the game and does not injure it), the agency may charge an additional fee as specified in the hunting contract. The following fees may apply unless otherwise specified in the contract:
Each missed shot on roe deer: €150.00
Each missed shot on wild boar: €200.00
Each missed shot on sika deer, fallow deer, and mouflon: €300.00
Each missed shot on small predators (e.g., fox, badger): €50.00
Each missed shot on all other game (e.g., red deer, chamois, etc.): €400.00
If game is wounded and cannot be found, the hunter may be charged the full price stated in the travel proposal. If tracking teams are needed to locate wounded game, additional costs will be charged to the hunter. Unless otherwise agreed, the following costs will be charged for tracking organized by the agency: Travel costs: €0.45/km, Tracking team: €60.00/hour.
7. HUNT SETTLEMENT
The settlement of the hunt will be conducted immediately upon completion of your hunt on the “Hunting Protocol” form, which will be the basic foundation for invoice preparation. The hunting protocol is completed by the hunting ground lessee in the presence of the hunter in Croatian, English, or German, and its authenticity is confirmed by signatures. In addition to the hunter’s personal data, the hunting protocol includes all services used, from accommodations, kills, and trophy strength to possible misses with explanations. Complaints are only accepted if they are entered in writing in the hunting protocol and signed by both the hunting ground lessee and the hunting guest.
Trophy Assessment – Trophies are measured according to the International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation (CIC) method or the Safari Club International (SCI) scoring system, as specified in the hunting contract. Measurements are conducted by certified trophy measurers. In case of disagreements about trophy assessment, an independent third-party measurer may be engaged, with costs shared by both parties.

14. DATA PROTECTION
The agency collects and processes personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and relevant Croatian data protection laws. Personal data collected during the booking process is used solely for the purpose of arranging and conducting the hunt, including sharing necessary information with hunting ground operators, governmental authorities for permits, and other service providers essential to the hunting trip. By signing the Hunting Contract, the customer consents to this data processing. Customers have the right to access, rectify, and delete their personal data and can withdraw their consent at any time, though this may affect the agency’s ability to provide the contracted services.
