SUPPLIERS
Suppliers are independent of Luxury Ventures Travel LLC, managed separately, who provide Travel Services to you. Suppliers are not subject to Luxury Ventures Travel LLC’s control—they are not employees, agents, representatives, or affiliates of Luxury Ventures Travel LLC. Luxury Ventures Travel LLC is not responsible for any Supplier’s breach of contract, failure to comply with any laws, or willful or negligent acts, errors, or omissions, which may result in delays, inconvenience, damage, loss, costs, injury, or death to Travelers or companions.

Suppliers operate under their own terms, conditions, which are separate from these Terms. All documentation, receipts, confirmations, and tickets issued are subject to the terms and conditions specified by each Supplier. Your travel documentation identifies each Supplier responsible for providing your Travel Services. By paying for Travel Services, you consent to the use of those Suppliers.

Please read Supplier terms and conditions carefully—you are responsible for understanding and complying with the terms imposed by each Supplier, including: (1) payment of all amounts when due; and (2) rules and restrictions regarding the availability and use of Travel Services.

You understand that any violation of Supplier terms may result in denied access to Travel Services, cancellation of reservations, and forfeiture of any amounts paid by you. If such violation results in costs to Luxury Ventures Travel LLC, you agree to promptly reimburse Luxury Ventures Travel LLC for all such costs. Suppliers may require you to sign a liability waiver prior to participating in their Travel Services.

If a Supplier declares bankruptcy, it may not be obligated to transport you or to provide refunds. Following bankruptcy, Suppliers may continue to provide all or some Travel Services or they may stop operations. In such case, other Suppliers may, but are not required to, provide alternative travel services to you. Luxury Ventures Travel LLC is not permitted to provide refunds to you for Suppliers who have declared bankruptcy. Luxury Ventures Travel LLC has no special knowledge about the financial condition of any Supplier.

Luxury Ventures Travel LLC has no liability for recommending a Trip credit or a refund. All Supplier promotions, incentives, prices, and offers are subject to Supplier availability, which may change at any time without notice.

Travel insurance covers matters expressly included in each policy. You understand that insurance policies may exclude coverage relating to certain matters, including: (1) pre-existing medical conditions; (2) trip interruptions relating to any pandemic or epidemic; and (3) risk locations and activities. You hold us harmless if an insurance provider denies any of your claims for any reason.

This clause will survive termination of these Terms.

In any such event, you agree we have a right to suspend or cancel any Booking, and we have no obligation to refund amounts paid by you if we suspend or cancel any Booking.

You agree not to initiate, and you waive any right to pursue, any credit- or debit-card chargeback, reverse-charge, refund, or recollection (collectively, “Chargeback”) for any reason, including delay, cancellation, refusal of entry, exit, or transit, force majeure event, Food Allergies, provision or non-provision of Travel Services, Supplier price changes, fees, or penalties, or any other matter relating to your Trip, except in the case of fraud. Even in the case of fraud, before initiating any Chargeback, you agree to first address the matter directly with us in writing to give us a reasonable time to investigate the matter and respond to you.

If you initiate a Chargeback relating to any amount we validly charge to your Card without our prior written authorization, you agree to pay us for all fees and costs, including attorney’s fees and legal expenses, we incur to dispute and respond to that Chargeback.

This clause will survive termination of these Terms.

Supplier terms may not allow refunds if you change, cancel, partially use, or do not use Travel Services for any reason, including actual, threatened, or fear of potential health matters, pandemics, epidemics, weather conditions, terrorism, political unrest, or similar circumstances.

If you change or cancel a Booking, you may be subject to: Luxury Ventures Travel LLC fees of USD 50; and Supplier fees, charges, or penalties.

BOOKING PROCESS & RELATED FEES
A non-refundable Travel Planning Fee is required to initiate booking; additional fees may be required for groups or certain specialty booking; once space is confirmed, an additional deposit will be required to secure agreed upon travel plans. Deposits will apply to the balance of the trip cost, however the Planning Fee does not. The balance is payable prior to departure and the final payment date will vary according to operator policies.

For Foreign Currency priced trips, you will receive pricing in the foreign currency with the USD equivalent at the current exchange rate.

At final payment, the USD pricing for the full trip cost will be recalculated according to the estimated spot rate of exchange for that date. Your payment will be processed in US Dollars, unless otherwise explained and authorized. If an operator has policies outside our normal terms, we will provide you with those details.

1. Ticketing Fees: a $75 domestic / $150 international flight ticketing fee per person will apply for managing flight reservations and airline tickets. Additional fees will apply for changes, extenuating circumstances and last-minute bookings. We reserve the right to make changes to any of our booking conditions should any unforeseen or exceptional circumstances arise.
2. Cancellations/Changes: Upon booking and prior to a deposit being charged, please inquire about cancellation policies for your specific arrangements. Cancellation of an air arrangement is subject to the restrictions of your ticket and policies of the airline. We charge an additional $50 fee per person for air cancellation and new ticketing fee for flight changes. Our policy for custom itineraries: Travel Planning Fee is non-refundable. All cancellations must be received in writing. Changes/Cancellations to any non-custom tour packages or hotel arrangements are subject to specific fees imposed by the tour operator.
3. During Travel: Should you need to make any changes or cancellations to your land itinerary during your trip, we ask that you first contact the in-country operator listed on your itinerary and, if necessary, use the operator’s off-hours assistance line. Please also contact your Travel Advsor to keep them informed. If we have booked your flights, please contact us immediately; if outside of our normal business hours, please call our after-hours service if you have been unable to reach us. Contact details will be provided.

If you have any claim for refund or adjustment regarding your travel, you will deliver it to Luxury Ventures Travel LLC in writing, including full details and documentation regarding the background, rationale, and proof of payment.

This clause will survive termination of these Terms.

ACCOMMODATIONS
Hotel accommodation is subject to availability at the time of reservation. Some hotels require NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-TRANSFERABLE deposits to guarantee a Booking. In such cases, Luxury Ventures Travel LLC will notify you regarding the NON-REFUNDABLE pre-payment for that portion of your travel. Amenities including air conditioning, elevators, bed size, connecting or adjacent rooms, handicap accessibility, restaurants, bars, fitness facilities, pools, and spas are not guaranteed at all properties and are not guaranteed to be operational or available during your stay. Refunds regarding amenities are the responsibility of the hotel.

AIR TRAVEL
Suppliers may require tickets to be paid in full at the time of Booking. Airline tickets, once purchased, may be NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-TRANSFERABLE, subject to Supplier terms and conditions. Most airlines consider a name-change to be a cancellation. Domestic flight requirements may differ from international flight requirements.

Seat assignments are based on availability at the time of selection and payment. Airlines may change seat assignments and aircraft or address other operational matters at any time. Luxury Ventures Travel LLC cannot guarantee seats in specific locations or next to each other.

TRAVELER ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We ask that the main contact for this booking please review the statements below regarding flexibility in the face of possible changes, interruptions, and cancellations.

Health, Travel Insurance & Weather

• Travel insurance is an important consideration and will cover a variety of scenarios, but not all. We can provide a quote and ask that you speak directly to the travel insurance company to discuss coverage scenarios and details. Also check on any existing coverage you may have through credit cards, etc.
• Illness, quarantine, and other unexpected delays can be a factor in rare instances (as we saw with COVID). Check with your travel insurance provider for coverage if you are delayed returning to the US and need to remain in a country longer than expected.
• Unexpected Weather could cause unforeseen changes to your plans, which may be covered by travel insurance, depending on the specific circumstances.
• Security and Travel advisories, we advise travelers to check with the US State Department for any timely updates or warnings. It is also advisable to register with the US State Department and carry local Embassy contact information.

Required Travel Documentation/ Airlines & Flight Services

• Visas & Border Entry Requirements. Your travel designer will provide you with information and guidance, but each traveler is responsible for verifying requirements and presenting the proper documentation to the government, airline and border personnel. Entry requirements can change anytime without notice.
• Flight schedule changes and cancellations may require flexibility of dates/times of travel.
• Airlines can change aircraft types resulting in last-minute changes to schedules and seat assignments. Airlines do not guarantee seat numbers, even if you have paid for a certain location or extra legroom. If we have booked your reservations, we will advise you of any change notifications and will do our best to advocate for you, but unexpected changes by airlines may be beyond our control.

Trip Payments / Rescheduling / Cancellation

• Unexpected rescheduling could arise as a result of revised destination entry requirements, border closures, flight cancellations, illness, etc.
• Trip Payments are typically non-refundable if cancelled/changed; specific penalties may depend on the timing and reason for cancellation or change. Note that global payments are sent to operators on your behalf and the return of funds can involve complexities and fees, even when partial refunds are granted.
• Trip Rescheduling due to unexpected world events will require flexibility of future travel dates. Seasonality and availability could dictate your options and your trip cost may change based on the timing of your rescheduled trip. Our agency will charge a rescheduling fee so your travel advisor can dedicate the necessary time to your revised services and travel plan.

DISCLOSURES TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
Your purchase and transaction is covered by the California Travel Consumer Restitution Fund (TCRF) if the seller of travel was registered and participating in the TCRF at the time of sale and the passenger is located in California at the time of payment. Eligible passengers may file a claim with TCRF if the passenger is owed a refund of more than $50 for transportation or travel services which the seller of travel failed to forward to a proper provider or such money was not refunded to you when required. The maximum amount which may be paid by the TCRF to any one passenger is the total amount paid on behalf of the passenger to the seller of travel, not to exceed $15,000. A claim must be submitted to the TCRF within 12 months after the scheduled completion date of the travel. A claim must include sufficient documentation to prove your claim and a $35 processing fee. Claimants must agree to waive their right to other civil remedies against a registered participating seller of travel for matters arising out of a sale for which you file a TCRF claim. You may request a claim form by writing to: Travel Consumer Restitution Corporation; P.O. Box 6001; Larkspur, CA 94977-6001; or by visiting TCRC’s website at: http://www.tcrcinfo.org.
