Should there be a failure of service on behalf of one of our partners, The Trip will be responsible to provide compensation for the value of the service rendered or a different service of the same value in lieu, with agreement by The Traveler.
2.2 Down Payment Requirement. After the trip is fully booked online, The Company will send an invoice to The Lead Traveler (group organizer), who is required to pay a 100% down payment (“Down Payment”) of the first individual payment for the Booking to be confirmed. Once the down payment is made, The Company will send an email in due time to all of the other party members in your booking. Your party then has up to 48 hours at receipt of the email to pay in full the amount due.
If booked more than 90 days prior to departure, you will have 24 hours to pay the initial trip confirmation payment, and another 48 hours, after the initial payment, for all participants to pay the outstanding balance. If you cancel within this 72 hour period you get a full refund, if you cancel after this 72 hours, a penalty will be applied. If booked within 90 days of departure, your booking becomes non-refundable upon confirmation.
In the event of the participant's death or serious illness, the company reserves the right to evaluate the circumstances and determine, at its discretion, whether a refund will be granted.
2.3 Acceptance of Booking and Final Payments.
A contract will exist between the Company and you, the Traveler, for only the Trip Services described in Section 2.1 of this Agreement, such agreement to commence as of the date we issue the confirmation email, or if you Book within 7 days the Departure Date, the contract will exist when we accept your payment. Please refer to your Booking confirmation email for details regarding final payments. Payments, other than the Down Payment, made towards the balance of the Booking are referred to as the “Additional Payments”. Payment of the balance of the Booking price is due within 72 hours of the original downpayment. If this balance is not paid on or before the due date, we reserve the right to cancel your Booking, subject to the cancellation and refund policy provided below. All credits provided in this Agreement must be used within 12 months of the date of cancellation.
2.4 Prices & Surcharges. Prices are subject to variable and seasonal pricing, both of which are standard practice within the travel industry. This means prices may vary at any time. It is likely that different passengers on the same trip have been charged different prices. Discounts cannot be combined. A maximum of one discount may be applied per traveler per Booking. Any reduced pricing or discounts that may become available after you have paid your Down Payment will not apply to your Booking. If you wish to cancel your Booking to take advantage of a cheaper price, full cancellation conditions apply. Prices are all presented in USD or EUR. We reserve the right to impose surcharges up to 60 days before the Departure Date due to unfavorable changes in exchange rates, increases in airfares or other transportation costs, increases in local operator costs, taxes, or if government action should require us to do so. In such instances, we will be responsible for any amount up to 2% of the Booking price and you will be responsible for the balance. If any surcharge results in an increase of more than 10% of the Booking price, you may cancel the booking within 14 days of notification of the surcharge and obtain a full refund. Please note that a surcharge may be applied to all purchases made by credit card.

2.7.3 Note that different cancellation conditions including higher charges apply to some styles of booking and additional services, as provided in your confirmation email. If you leave a trip for any reason after it has commenced, we are not obliged to make any refunds for unused Services.
