What are the penalties for disobeying instructions in "A Sound of Thunder?"

In this story, Eckels has gone to the Time Safari
company.  He wants to take one of their trips, which involves going back in their time
machine and shooting a dinosaur.  He is told by the man at the office that the penalty
for disobeying orders from the Safari Guide is a $10,000 fine paid to the company.  It
is also possible that the person who breaks the rules will be punished by the
government.

The reason for the strict punishments is that
they are trying not to change the future while they are back in the past.  The guide's
orders are meant to make sure that they do not change the future and so it is really
important to obey those instructions.

Here's a quote from
early in the story that shows this:

"This is Mr. Travis, your Safari Guide in the
Past. He'll tell you what and where to shoot. If he says no shooting, no shooting. If
you disobey instructions, there's a stiff penalty of another ten thousand dollars, plus
possible government action, on your
return."
