RESERVATIONS AND PAYMENT: Operator accepts payment by credit and debit cards issued on the following networks: AMERICAN EXPRESS, VISA, MASTERCARD, or DISCOVER. Any other person or entity (including a travel agent) who receives monies from participants does so strictly as an agent of participants. Tender of payment to Operator constitutes acceptance of these terms of sale. Full payment is applied to the credit card entered into the system at the time of booking. Online bookings will be accepted up to 4 days prior to scheduled departure. All reservations made 14 days or less prior to departure will be charged a $25.00 Special Handling Fee to cover costs associated with expedited processing of the booking. After payment is made, all revisions are subject to a $25.00 per booking fee, plus any supplier fees. RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY: Operator does not own or operate, nor is it responsible for, the acts or omissions of any of the suppliers which will provide goods and services in connection with the trip or for any option which may be available in connection with the trip (including optional side trips, car rentals, etc.) and Operator has not priced the trip or options to allow Operator to guarantee against failure of any such suppliers. Accordingly, participant(s) agree to seek remedies directly with the supplier and not to hold Operator, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates and/or representatives (collectively Operator Parties) liable, in the absence of its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct, for any loss, injury, delay, expense or damage which results directly or indirectly from any action or omission, whether negligent, criminal or otherwise, of any entity providing goods or services in connection with the trip or any available option (for example, the quality of services, cleanliness of a hotel, hotel overbooking, cancellation of services, cessation of operations, accidents, failure of equipment, changes in fares, itineraries or schedules or any flight delay). Participant(s) also agree not to hold the Operator Parties liable for circumstances beyond its or their control (for example, acts of God such as fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, or climatic aberrations; acts of governmental authorities; civil unrest; strikes; riots; theft; disease; accidents or failures related to the public internet, telecommunications lines or facilities, or third party technology systems; piracy or terrorism). Participant(s) acknowledge that the Operator Parties have not made any representations or promises with respect to the trip except as expressly set forth in the Operators literature, unless such agreement is in writing and signed by an officer of Operator.

INTERMEDIARY DISCLOSURE: No joint venture, partnership, employment, agency or fiduciary relationship exists between you and Operator or American Express as a result of your use of our travel services.

In addition, our parent company, American Express, receives compensation from suppliers when customers use the American Express Card or other American Express products to pay for supplier products and services. From time to time we may enter into other business relationships with suppliers and these arrangements, including levels and types of compensation and incentives we receive, are subject to change. In identifying suppliers and recommending itineraries, we may consider a number of factors, including supplier availability, your preferences and any agreements we have to book travel. The relationships we have with suppliers may also influence the suppliers we identify and the itineraries we recommend. TERMS OF PURCHASE: Please note that separate terms and conditions dictated by the applicable supplier will apply to your reservation and purchase of products and services. You agree to abide by such terms and conditions, including payment of all amounts when due and compliance with the applicable suppliers policies, rules and restrictions regarding availability and use of fares, products and services.
