These Terms and Conditions, the Invoice(s) and the Itinerary (collectively, the "Documents") constitute the contractual relationship between you and us, which relationship commences when we receive your deposit (or any payment from you).

RESERVATIONS AND PAYMENTS

Reservations will be confirmed, based upon availability, upon notice in writing from us to you of the number of travellers in your party and upon your payment of a deposit to us.

CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS

Cancellations by you. You must notify us in writing (by mail or email) of any cancellation. Cancellations are effective on the day received by us. Your payment to us will be refunded, less a cancellation fee in an amount that depends on when we receive your notice as follows:

In addition, all refunds are subject to the refund policies of each hotel, airline, and other vendor, some of which have onerous cancellation policies where funds paid are non-refundable. Accordingly, the amount refunded to you may be further reduced as a result of these policies. We strongly recommend that you secure travel insurance that covers lost deposits and cancellation fees. Cancellations by us. If we cancel the trip prior to departure, you will receive a full refund of amounts paid to us. Please note that costs for visas, commercial air tickets, and pre- or post-tour independent arrangements may not be refundable. If, as a result of circumstances beyond our control, we must change or cancel the trip after departure, we will not reimburse you for expenses incurred. If in our reasonable opinion or that of any airline pilot, hotel manager, tour leader or other person in authority, your behavior is causing danger or damage to property, we reserve the right to terminate the trip without any refund.

ITINERARY CHANGES

Changes by you. We will make every effort to assist you if you wish to make changes to the Itinerary after departure, but it may not be possible. You must pay us the cost of any such changes, and these costs and payments are non-refundable.

Changes by us. Every reasonable effort will be made to maintain the Itinerary as planned; however, accommodations, transportation and arranged sightseeing are subject to change at any time due to unforeseen circumstances or circumstances beyond our control including, without limitation, transportation cancellations, delays, hotel issues/problems and other schedule changes. We are not responsible for such unanticipated and uncontrollable changes, and any expenses resulting from such changes (e.g. additional hotel, transportation, or guide fees, etc.) will be paid by you. You may be eligible to recoup such costs from your travel insurance carrier. We reserve the right to modify or change the Itinerary in the best interests and the safety of the group, in our sole discretion. We also reserve the right to withdraw a program or any part of it, to make such alterations to the Itinerary or the program inclusions as we deem necessary or desirable, and to pass on to you any expenditures or losses caused by delays or events beyond our control. The operations of all flights are subject to foreign governments' approval. In the event that a landing or flyover right cannot be obtained by the air carrier, alternative arrangements will be made at our discretion.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS

Entry visas may be required for the countries listed on the Itinerary. Acquiring required visas and entry permits in advance of the trip is your responsibility unless otherwise specified in the Invoice(s) or the Itinerary. Failure to obtain visas or entry permits does not negate these Terms and Conditions.

We cannot provide a refund if you are unable to proceed with the trip because of incorrect or missing personal documents, or any other failure to meet passport, visa or immigration requirements.

The Released Parties do not own or operate any entity which is a services or goods provider for the trip. We purchase all transportation, accommodation, dining, ground handling and all other services from a variety of independent suppliers and entities. All such persons and entities are independent contractors.

Our suppliers (such as accommodation or transport providers) have their own booking conditions or conditions of carriage, and these conditions are binding between you and such supplier. Some of these conditions may limit or remove the relevant transport provider’s or other supplier’s liability to you. You can obtain copies of such conditions from us or from the relevant supplier.

You waive any claims and actions against any of the Released Parties for any such loss, damage, injury, or death, including any right to seek consequential, indirect, special, incidental, punitive or exemplary damages against any of the Released Parties for any reason whatsoever. You agree that this release will be legally binding upon you, your heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives, it being your intention to fully assume all risk of travel and to release the Released Parties from any and all liabilities to the maximum extent permitted by law.

The Released Parties are not responsible or liable for negligent or intentional acts committed by any service provider or other third party, and shall not be held liable for any damage to or loss of property, or injury to or death of persons occasioned directly or indirectly by an act or omission of any service provider or other third party, including, but not limited to damages, losses, injuries, or death attributable to any defect in any aircraft, watercraft, or vehicle operated or provided by such service provider or other third party. Your recovery from us for any claim arising out of the Documents shall be limited to the amount paid by you to us for the services, irrespective of the nature of the claim, whether in contract, tort, warranty, or otherwise. The foregoing limitations of liability shall not apply to any damages which cannot be disclaimed as a matter of law.

The passenger tickets in use by the carriers shall constitute the sole contract between the carriers and the passenger; the carriers are not responsible for any act, omission, or event during the time of the trip.
