| Responsibility and Liability: Operator, as the principal, is responsible for arranging and providing all of the services and accommodations offered in connection with these trips. The Operator does not own or operate, nor is it an agent for any of the firms which will provide goods and services for the trip or for any option which may be available in connection with the trip (including optional side trips, car rentals, etc.) and the Operator has not priced the trip or option to allow Operator to guarantee against failure of any such firms. Accordingly, Participant(s) agree to seek remedies directly with the supplier and not to hold the Operator liable, in the absence of its negligence, for any loss, injury, delay or expense which results directly or indirectly from any action or omission, whether negligent, criminal or otherwise, of any entity providing goods or services for the trip or any available option (e.g., without limitation, the quality of services, cleanliness of a hotel, hotel overbooking or any flight delay). Participant(s) also agree not to hold Operator liable for circumstances beyond its control (e.g., force majeure). |
| Participant(s) acknowledge that neither Operator nor its agents have made any representation or promises with respect to the tour described herein except as expressly set forth in the Operator's literature, unless such agreement is in writing and signed by an officer of Operator. At any time, the Operator may decline, for any reason, any person as a Participant on a trip (or option) whereupon the Operator's only obligation shall be to refund to such person that portion of payment allocable to the unused services. |
| Cancellation and Refund Policy: The right to a refund if a Participant changes plans is limited. All requests must be in writing and sent (return receipt) to the Operator. Operator will remit any refund to the Participant(s) within 14 days after receipt of the cancellation request. If your notice is received, your liquidated damages (per person) will be: |
| Once payment is received - $200.00 per person plus any supplier fees. |
| For charter program - higher penalties apply. |
|
| During selected holiday and peak travel periods, such as Christmas/New Year's, winter school break and Easter, your penalties may be higher and still subject to the supplier fees. All requests for refunds after a trip must be made through the booking agent and submitted to the Operator within 7 days after completion of the tour. All appropriate receipts and documentation must accompany the refund request. No refund will be made for features the Participant opts not to use. |
| The rights and remedies made available herein are in addition to any others available under applicable law. However, Operator offers refunds under this contract with the express understanding that endorsement of a refund by Participant(s) constitutes a waiver of any such additional rights and remedies. |
| Forum for Disputes: Participant and Operator agree to resolve any dispute in a court of competent jurisdiction in the state of Georgia. |
| Documents: Documents will be mailed to you approximately 21 days prior to departure. Document reissue fee is $25.00 per booking. |
| Check-in Procedure: Failure to check in at least two hours prior to departure may result in denied boarding and no refund will be granted. |
| International Flights Only: The operation of these flights is subject to the foreign government involved granting landing rights for the flights. If the direct air carrier cannot obtain these rights, the flights will be cancelled and full refunds will be made to all Participants. |
| Package Price: Includes only items specifically stated in Operator's current literature, the contents of which are specifically made a part hereof. Certain secondary features of a package (e.g., cocktail party, free sports, etc.) are based on supplier policy and may be changed, added or deleted after printing of literature. Operator has the right to substitute services or accommodations in similar categories for items listed in the literature. PLEASE NOTE: Operator reserves the right to reinvoice Participant(s) in case of an error made in computing tour price. |
| Luggage: The limit is two pieces of checked baggage and one carry-on piece. Each piece of checked baggage may not exceed a weight of 70 lbs. Luggage travels at the risk of the participant(s) and luggage insurance is strongly recommended. The direct air carrier's limitation on its liability for damage to or loss of participant's luggage is the actual value of such luggage, but no more than $400 per passenger for checked baggage and $400 per passenger for unchecked baggage for international flights and $1250 per passenger for domestic flights. |
| Insurance: Trip cancellation, health, accident and luggage insurance is available and strongly recommended. |
| Proof of Citizenship: If you are traveling to Europe, Costa Rica, Latin America, South America, Barbados, Martinique, Trinidad and Tobago you must have a valid U.S. Passport. If you are traveling to Bermuda, the Bahamas, the Caribbean (except Trinidad or Tobago) or Mexico, a valid passport is recommended. If you do not have a valid passport, two pieces of ID are required. Additionally, travelers to Brazil are required to obtain a tourist visa. An original copy of a state issued (not a hospital issued) birth certificate with a raised seal and a government issued photo ID such as a driver's license or school I.D. will be acceptable. A driver's license, social security card, or school I.D. by itself is never considered proof of citizenship. If you are a citizen of another country there may be additional requirements. Check with the nearest consulate of the destination you are traveling to and find out entry requirements for non-United States citizens. Do not pack proof of citizenship in your suitcase. |
| Aircraft, Flight Changes and Delays: Participant(s) are subject to the ticket terms and tariffs of the airlines, which, when issued, shall be the sole contract between the airline and the Participant. |
| |
| Additional Provisions Applicable to Charters |
|
| Cancellation: The Operator may cancel any trip at any time (though less than 10 days before departure only for circumstances which make performance physically or legally impossible), in which case the Operator's liability shall be limited to a full refund within 14 days. In event of cancellation by Operator 10 or more days before the scheduled departure date, Participant(s) will be notified in writing within 7 days after the cancellation, but in any event at least 10 days before the scheduled departure. If the trip is cancelled less than 10 days before departure, the Operator will notify the Participants(s) as soon as possible. Alternatively, Operator at its option may transfer passengers to scheduled service in the event operator deems the response to the charter offering insufficient to operate a charter flight. |
|
| Major Changes: A "Major Change" is limited to: (i) a change in the departure or return date, except that flight delay is not a major change unless the Operator knows of it more than 2 days before the scheduled flight date or if the delay lasts more than 48 hours; (ii) a change in the origin or destination city, unless the change affects only the order in which cities are visited; (iii) any substitution of any hotel that is not named (as an option or otherwise) in Operator's literature; (iv) a price increase to the Participant(s) which is more than 10 percent of the total price the Participant(s) are paying for the trip. Should Operator know of a major change 10 or more days before scheduled departure, it will notify Participant(s) within 7 days after first knowing of it, but in any event at least 10 days before scheduled departure. Should Operator learn of the major change less than 10 days before scheduled departure, it will notify Participant(s) as soon as possible. For a full refund within 14 days, a Participant may cancel in writing (return receipt) to Operator within 7 days after receiving notice of a major change, but in no event later than departure. If notice of a major change is received after trip departure, the Participant may decline to accept the change and be sent a refund of the portion of his payments allocable to the hotel accommodations or air transportation not provided within 14 days after scheduled return date. |
