Price Subjectivity | Currency
Devaluation:
The prices of trips are subject to change. As a
condition of your reservation, you agree to pay
any change in the cost of the trip that is beyond
Journey Beyond Travel's control, up to 10% of the
original price quoted to you. Any increase in the
cost of a trip beyond 10% of the original price
quoted to you will constitute a "substantial
change" in the terms of the trip, thereby
entitling you to cancellation rights detailed
above. If you choose to continue with the trip
booked, you will be responsible for the increase
in cost. Any such increase in cost payable by you
must be paid upon notification to you. Examples
of increased costs beyond the control of Journey
Beyond Travel's includes, but is not limited to,
currency devaluation, increased costs of third
party providers of services such as
transportation and taxes.
Reserved Rights:
If you leave a trip on your own accord or for
other reasons, Journey Beyond Travel will not
refund any monies. Money for meals, transport,
sleeping accommodations, sightseeing ventures,
trekking or any other service that you, the
traveler, do not wish to participate in will not
be returned. Journey Beyond Travel does not
insure plane tickets, missed flights or anything
dealing with your travel, plans or arrangements
to the country of choice.
Journey Beyond Travel reserves the right to deny
anyone the right to travel with our organization.
In this highly unlikely situation, if you have
paid the initial online booking deposit for
reservations and are denied traveling privileges
with Journey Beyond Travel before you arrive in
country, Journey Beyond Travel will base the
reimbursement according to our cancellation
policy.
Journey Beyond Travel will not cancel a trip for
any reason within our own control. We do,
however, reserve the right to cancel any trip due
to unforeseen mishaps, acts of God or Nature, and
in-country political and civil situations and/or
instability, including terrorism. It is up to
Journey Beyond Travel to judge and decide if a
trip shall be cancelled due to any such
incidents, not the traveler(s), family, or travel
group coming on a tour. If Journey Beyond Travel
cancels a trip before the tour start date, we
will attempt to accommodate travelers for another
travel date or give a 40% refund. If a trip is in
process and is interrupted due to any unforeseen
events, Journey Beyond Travel will not reimburse
any monies. Journey Beyond Travel is not
responsible for any incidental expenses that you
may have incurred as a result of your trip, such
as visas, vaccinations, non-refundable flights,
change of flights, or loss of enjoyment. Travel
insurance is required for all travelers coming on
a tour with Journey Beyond Travel. Trip
cancellation insurance is not required, but is
recommended.
Changes Made to Booked Tour:
If a traveler or group wishes to
change their tour dates, it will be dependent
upon availability. If a change of dates is
granted, each traveler will be expected to pay an
amount equivalent to the booking fee in order to
re-arrange transport and hotels. If a traveler or
group requests a change of tour dates before a
trip’s start date and it cannot be arranged, it
will be treated as a full cancellation. No
changes of tour dates will be made 60 days before
an already booked tour. Journey Beyond Travel
does not cover any charges due to these changes.
Changes to Hotels and
Itineraries:
Any initial or additional requests (meals, rooms,
etc.) before a trip will cost $99 USD to cover
administrative costs. Each request therein and
thereafter will be US $49, plus the fees to cover
said changes. If a traveler would like rooms
booked before and/or after a set-tour itinerary
advertised on our website, there will be a $49
fee.
Those who Sign Up Late:
If an individual or a tour group
wants to travel within 30 days of a tour’s start
date, the entire booking fee and pre-departure
payment will both be due immediately.
Amendments and Risk:
Journey Beyond travel reserves the
right to change the itinerary, change routes or
shorten the trip for any reason that the tour
leader(s) see fit. If emergency evacuation from a
country is necessary, Journey Beyond Travel will
not be responsible for these costs, but will help
to arrange the procedure. By joining a trip, you
agree to listen and abide by all rules and
decisions made by your tour leader and guides.
However rare the case, Journey Beyond Travel
reserves the right to ask any traveler to leave
the group at any time. Please be aware that
Journey Beyond Travel hires host-country
nationals and other agencies to help with its
tours. These parties, to the best of Journey
Beyond Travel’s knowledge are competent,
reliable, qualified and safe in what they do.
Journey Beyond Travel will not be held liable for
any injuries, loss of life, delay, or anything
else that may occur. Journey Beyond Travel will
ask any group member who behaves in any illegal
or irregular behavior in contradiction with local
or home-country laws to leave the group. If you
believe that you will break any laws, even if it
is a country’s “social-norm,” then do not travel
with Journey Beyond Travel. We reserve the right
to change, delete, add-to or edit any portion of
this agreement without prior or follow-up notice.
By booking with Journey Beyond Travel, you agree
that you have fully read and understand all of
the above. You also agree to the following:
"I agree that Journey Beyond Travel and anyone or
entity associated directly or indirectly with
Journey Beyond Travel shall not be held liable
for any reason in any situation before, during or
after your specified tour dates. I accept all
risks involved in traveling and assume full
responsibility in my actions and behavior in any
situation. I release Journey Beyond Travel from
any and all liabilities."
