b. Travel Advisor may charge a concierge fee for its services, which will be mutually agreed with Client in writing. Any concierge fees charged are 100% non-refundable and due before Travel Advisor begins work on an itinerary.

4. Suppliers; Client’s Responsibility.

a. Travel Advisor’s role is to make travel reservations for the Client upon request and to act as liaison between Client and travel suppliers, ensuring the itinerary runs smoothly.

b. Client acknowledges that the suppliers whose names appear in travel documentation are those actually responsible for providing the travel services purchased and that travel documents may be issued by third party booking channels selected by Travel Advisor. Client consents to the use of the suppliers disclosed to Client and is responsible for due diligence of the suppliers chosen by Client or the traveler and quality of their services. Client agrees that the Travel Advisor will not be responsible if the Client is not satisfied with the final choices.

c. Travel Advisor makes no guarantee of a supplier’s rates, bookings, quality of services, or special requests. Each supplier is an independent entity with its own management and is not subject to Travel Advisor’s control. Travel Advisor bears no responsibility for any changes, delays, alterations, modifications or cancellations of an itinerary or booking made by a supplier, other third party or due to force majeure and does not cover associated costs.

5. Travel Bookings.

a. Rates: All quoted prices are in USD unless otherwise indicated and are subject to change without notice. Client is responsible for all invoiced costs, charges, and fees.

b. Currency Fluctuations: Client is aware that there may be currency fluctuations that may affect the final amount due for the travel and Client agrees to pay any additional amounts due as a result of increases in rates.

c. Confirmed Bookings: All bookings are subject to availability and confirmation by Travel Advisor.

d. Personal Information: Client authorizes Travel Advisor’s use of Client’s personal information for bookings, airfare/airline rewards, resort/hotel rewards, etc., and Travel Advisor agrees to take the necessary precautions to protect such personal information.

e. Payment: Client will pay for all travel services promptly when due by paying the supplier directly or, if directed by supplier, by making payment to Travel Advisor by check, money order, credit card or electronic funds transfer acceptable to Travel Advisor. Travel Advisor will hold Client’s money on behalf of the supplier until supplier requires payment, at which time Travel Advisor will forward funds to supplier. Unless otherwise stated by supplier, or if a payment schedule applies, payment is due in full at the time of booking. Travel Advisor will provide a receipt for all funds paid by the Client.

f. Credit Card Authorization; Disputes and Chargebacks: You may choose to keep a credit card on file with Travel Advisor which Travel Advisor may charge for costs incurred in connection with your travel bookings. If payment is made by credit card, Client agrees to indemnify and hold Travel Advisor harmless from all liability incurred by Client as a result of any chargebacks or disputes which may result from the use of Client’s credit card, including all costs incurred as a result thereof. Any fee that Travel Advisor charges is separate from the cost of the booking, with the exception of an amount charged to Client’s card for a concierge fee described in Section 3, and may appear as a separate charge on Client’s credit card statement. Unless agreed otherwise in writing, no charges can be refunded for any reason other than fraud on the card.

g. Fees from Independent Travel Arrangements: Travel Advisor is not responsible for costs and fees incurred for travel arrangements made independent of Travel Advisor, including fees incurred by Client to change or cancel existing travel arrangements made in connection with travel arrangements created by Travel Advisor.

h. Nonrefundable Bookings; Modifications and Cancellation Fees: Client understands and agrees to all terms and conditions of suppliers from which it has purchased goods and services for travel bookings by Travel Advisor. Client acknowledges that travel arrangements are non-refundable, unless otherwise stated in writing by the supplier. All fees as designated by the supplier are nonrefundable. Client acknowledges that, with the exception of the concierge fee described in Section 3 above, Travel Advisor does not set or advance any charges or fees, nor does Travel Advisor receive any charges or fees for cancellation or nonrefund of deposit paid to the supplier. Any refunds due Client are subject to supplier’s terms and payment schedules, as Travel Advisor exercises no control over supplier’s funds.

i. Travel Insurance. Travel insurance is not included unless expressly stated and purchased by Client. Travel insurance can minimize the financial impact of unforeseen events, such as cancellation fees due to an emergency and/or medical expenses. Travel Advisor highly recommends that Client purchase travel insurance from its preferred provider, which Travel Advisor will disclose to Client upon request. Travel Advisor shall not be liable for costs or losses arising from Client’s decision not to purchase travel insurance.

6. Government Identification and Travel Advisories.

a. Denial of Entrance. You understand that Travel Advisor is not responsible for the denied entry into any country for any reason, or if your passport is inadequate or expired. You understand that it is your sole responsibility to ensure that you have all documentation required to travel to a country and enter the country; this includes confirming the US Department of State’s travel advisory and entry requirements for the country that you are visiting.

b. Passports. You understand that a passport is required for international travel, including for children & babies, and should be valid for at least 6 months after your return date. Clients are responsible for obtaining their own passports and travel documentation prior to the commencement of the trip and Travel Advisor is in no way liable if the Client or any of its travel companions are unable to use any portion of the trip due to the failure of the Client or any of its travel companions to have valid travel documentation.

c. Traveling with Minors. Children and infants may also require travel documents. Minors traveling with one parent, and/or with someone other than their parent(s) or guardian(s), need to carry a current notarized letter signed by both parents or their non-traveling parent or guardian stating that the minor has not been kidnapped and that they have permission to travel out of the country with the named adult. Minors traveling with an adult who is neither their parent nor legal guardian should carry a notarized paper signed by their parents giving permission for them to travel with the adult.

d. Travel Advisories. Travel to certain destinations or during certain times may involve greater risk than others (especially in remote areas). Travel Advisor urges Client to investigate their destinations thoroughly. Travel Advisor reviews U.S. Department of State information and alerts regarding travel and urges Client to do the same: for travel advisories, go to https://travel.state.gov.

NO CAUSE OF ACTION AGAINST TRAVEL ADVISOR, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS AND AFFILIATES WILL EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID BY CLIENT TO TRAVEL ADVISOR IN CONNECTION WITH THE BOOKINGS MADE BY TRAVEL ADVISOR, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH HARM IS DUE TO THE NEGLIGENCE OF TRAVEL ADVISOR.

b. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, TRAVEL ADVISOR HAS SOLELY RECEIVED COMMISSION AND FEES FOR BOOKED TRAVEL AND, IN NO EVENT, SHALL TRAVEL ADVISOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PURCHASED BY CLIENT HEREUNDER, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.
