2.1.1 All Trip bookings by a Traveler must be made through the Company’s website or another authorized platform provided by the Company. By booking a Trip (hereinafter referred to as "Booking(s)" or "Book a Trip") with the

Company, you agree to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation to, all provisions in this Section 2 regarding the booking process. Your Booking will only be accepted under these terms unless a different cancellation policy is stated on your trip page. The specific payment terms for your Booking are outlined below.

2.1.2 The Trip Services provided by the Company when a traveler books a trip using the Company’s Website will be limited to the acceptance of the Booking and processing of Trip Payments as detailed in the Booking ("Trip Services"). The Traveler acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s sole and exclusive responsibility and liability in relation to the Booking and the Trip Services is limited to processing the Trip Payments to the appropriate third party or Operator.

2.1.3 All other services related to the Booking are the sole responsibility of the Trip Operator (the "Operator") identified in the Booking, and are governed by the terms and conditions of the Operator. The Operator is fully responsible for fulfilling any confirmed Bookings and ensuring that any trips reserved through the services are provided. Additionally, the Operator is solely responsible for delivering any information that is legally required to be shared with you. If you enter into a transaction with an Operator for booking a trip, you agree to accept the terms, conditions, rules, and restrictions imposed by the Operator, and you will receive necessary information directly from the Operator. You further acknowledge and agree to the following in relation to all bookings involving Operators:

(a) The Company is not a party to your agreement with any Operator, but acts solely as a neutral third party that facilitates your introduction to the Operator

(b) The Company’s sole responsibility under this Agreement, including all Bookings and Trip Services, is to transmit trip payments to the Operator

(c) The Company does not accept any responsibility arising from or related to your agreements with the Operator or any other third party, unless explicitly required by applicable law.

2.2 Down Payments: A traveler must pay a 25% deposit ("Down Payment") per person, per Booking, in order for the Booking to be confirmed. This Down Payment is refundable until the Booking is confirmed in writing. If the Booking is made more than 90 days before the scheduled departure, you will have 48 hours from the time of receiving confirmation to cancel without penalty. For Bookings made within 90 days of departure, the Booking becomes non-refundable once confirmed. Except as outlined below, the Down Payment is non-refundable after the Booking is confirmed. If a Booking is made within 90 days of the departure date specified in the Booking ("Departure Date"), the full amount is due at the time of Booking and will be treated as the Down Payment for this agreement.

2.3 Acceptance of Booking and 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 90 days before the Departure Date. 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.

2.4 Pricing and Surcharges: Prices are subject to fluctuations based on variable and seasonal pricing, which is standard in the travel industry. As a result, prices may change at any time, and it is possible that different Travelers on the same Trip may be charged different amounts. Any discounts or lower pricing that becomes available after you have made your Down Payment will not be applied to your Booking. If you decide to cancel your Booking in order to take advantage of a lower price, the full cancellation terms will apply. All prices are quoted in USD. We also reserve the right to apply surcharges up to 30 days before the departure date if there are unfavorable changes in exchange rates, increases in transportation costs, higher costs from local Operators, changes in taxes, or if government regulations require such adjustments.

2.5 Your Information: To confirm your travel arrangements for your Trip Booking, you must provide all required information at least 60 days before the departure date. The specific details needed may vary by Booking, but generally include, without limitation, your full name (as it appears on your passport), date of birth, nationality, passport number, passport issue and expiration dates, and any pre-existing medical conditions that could impact your ability to complete the travel arrangements. Failure to submit the requested details 60 days prior to the departure date may result in additional fees or the cancellation of your Booking without refund.

2.6 Traveler Cancellation: If you cancel all or part of your Booking, cancellation fees will apply. Your cancellation will be considered valid only once we have received written confirmation. Refunds will be processed according to the following terms:

2.6.1 If you cancel a confirmed Booking on or after 90 days prior to the departure date, both the Down Payment and any Additional Payments made will be retained by the Company and are non-refundable.

2.6.2 For Bookings with a departure date more than 90 days away, if your Booking has not yet been confirmed, you will be eligible for either a full refund of your Down Payment or a credit for the amount of the Down Payment and any Additional Payments, upon cancellation.

2.6.3 For confirmed Bookings with a departure date more than 90 days away, if you cancel outside of 48 hours after receiving the confirmation notice, you will receive a Trip Credit equal to your Down Payment, minus a $100 cancellation fee per canceled spot. If you leave a Trip after it has started, no refunds will be issued for unused services. Similarly, if you fail to join the Trip, join it after departure, or leave it early, no refund will be provided. These cancellation fees are in addition to any fees imposed by accommodation providers, travel agents, or third-party tour and transport operators. We are not responsible for any exchange rate fluctuations that could result in a smaller refund when converted to your local currency.

2.7 Cancellation by the Company

2.7.1 For Any Reason: We reserve the right to cancel a Booking for any reason up to 45 days before the departure date.

responsible for any incidental costs you may have incurred as part of your Booking, including but not limited to, visa fees, vaccinations, changes in exchange rates, travel insurance excess, or flights.
