by our suppliers, will be payable by you, plus an amendment fee
of $50.00 per revision per booking.

after the commencement of your tour you request any changes to
your travel arrangements, we will do our best to implement them,
but we cannot guarantee that it will be possible. In the event
of such change(s) being made, you will be liable for any cancellation
charges that may be levied for the previously booked service and
for any costs incurred by us and our suppliers in attempting to
secure any revised arrangements.

name changes must be provided to us in writing and are subject
to any airline fees or penalties.

CANCELLATION
BY TRAVEL AGENT AND MAJOR CHANGES: Travel Agent reserves the
right to cancel the tour and/or to make changes to the travel
arrangements. Such cancellations and/or changes are sometimes
necessary due to circumstances beyond our control. If your tour
is cancelled, we will notify you in writing at the earliest possible
date and will refund all amounts you have paid to us. OUR LIABILITY
IN SUCH A CASE IS LIMITED TO A RETURN TO YOU OF ANY AMOUNTS
YOU HAVE PAID TO US. If we make major changes prior to your
departure, you have the right to cancel and receive a full refund.
If a major change is made, we will notify you at the earliest
possible date and you may cancel the tour in writing up to the
date of the commencement of the tour. If you do not notify us
in writing of a cancellation, then you shall have accepted the
changes.
ALTERATIONS
TO THE TOUR: Occasionally non major changes may be made to
your travel arrangements which we reserve the right to do at any
time and we will advise you at the earliest possible date. These
changes may be the result of force majeure or similar reasons
beyond our control, delays in departures, weather conditions,
overbooking or closure of a hotel, strikes, riots, decisions by
State Governments or Tourist Organizations, altering the itinerary,
the duration of time spent at a location or even omitting a destination
or part of the itinerary due to the local situation. In such cases
we will offer comparable alternative arrangements, if possible,
but if not, will make an appropriate refund to you commensurate
with the nature of the change.
PRICES:
All prices are based on U.S. dollars. Once your booking is accepted
by us, we will not make any changes to your price after you have
paid the final balance. Prior to the time you pay the final balance,
we may revise the price of the tour solely due to increased transportation
costs, including costs of fuel. No such revisions shall amount
to more than 10% of the tour price. If you do not wish to accept
the changes, you will be entitled to cancel the tour with a full
refund of all amounts you have paid to us.
OUR
LIABILITY IN SUCH A CASE IS LIMITED TO A RETURN TO YOU OF ANY
AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO US.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Travel Agent does not own or operate any of the accommodation
or transport or other facilities used in connection with the tours.
We therefore are not liable for the conduct, actions or negligence
of those parties or their staff, employees or agents. We do accept
responsibility for our employees only when you travel with an
airline, the Conditions or Carriage of that airline will apply
to you and the airlines. Those conditions are the subject of International
Agreements and may limit or exclude liability.
Travel
Agent makes arrangements with airlines, hotels and other independent
parties to provide you with the travel services included in the
tour. These parties are independent suppliers over whom we have
no direct control. We are not liable for personal injury, property
damage or for any other loss, claim or damage in the event of
any failure by any person or company to render any transportation,
accommodation or travel service which is part of the tour, or
for expenses incurred due to delays caused by weather, strikes,
war, civil disturbances, natural disasters, flight delays, government
actions, mechanical failures, acts of God, or any other such condition
or event. We cannot and do not assume any responsibility or liability
for flight delays, cancellations or missed connections and are
not liable for any expenses or consequences resulting therefrom.

consequential losses or damages.

of travel and arrangements for trips of this nature and fully
disclaim, waive and discharge Travel Agent (including its officers,
members, directors and employees) from any and all liability,
claims, damages, loss, or responsibilities (including damage to
or loss of your property or your injury or death) with regard
to the proposed tour and arrangements made with respect thereto,
even if caused by the negligence of any airlines, transportation
companies, hotels or any other party rendering any of the services
or accommodations included in the tour, Travel Agent shall similarly
not be liable for any claims, losses, damages for delay of baggage
or other properties, inconvenience, loss of enjoyment, upset and
disappointment, distress or frustrations, whether physical or

providing services to you.
In
the event of a service being withdrawn by any party who is to
provide a tour service or accommodation, Travel Agent shall have
no responsibility and our sole obligation shall be to make an
appropriate refund to you commensurate with the nature of the
service or accommodation which was withdrawn.
