This agreement contains the terms and conditions by which Journey Fair, 2029 Verdugo Boulevard Montrose, CA 91020 US in consideration for a participant’s payment agrees to act as intermediary between participant(s) and U.S. based tour operators to provide these travel tours. Read this agreement carefully. Payment to Journey Fair  constitutes acceptance of these terms and conditions.

Responsibility and Liability

Journey Fair  is acting as an intermediary and agent for suppliers in selling services, or in accepting reservations or bookings for services which are not directly supplied by this travel agency (such as air carriage, hotel accommodations, ground transportation, meals, tours, cruises, etc.)

This agency, therefore, shall not be responsible for any personal injuries, death, property damage, accident, disruption of travel, change of itinerary, irregularity, loss or delay, to you or your travel companions or group members, resulting from:

  1. Breach of contract or any intentional or careless actions or omissions on part of such suppliers
  2. Any defect in any means of transportation
  3. Terrorist activities, political or social unrest, labor problems, mechanical or construction difficulties, monetary crises, diseases, local laws, climatic conditions, abnormal conditions or developments
  4. Any other actions, omissions or conditions outside the travel agent’s control. By embarking upon his/her travel the traveler voluntarily assumes all risks involved with such travel, whether expected or unexpected.
Traveler is hereby warned of such risks, and advised to obtain appropriate insurance coverage against them, including but not limited to travel medical insurance, lost and damaged baggage insurance, and/or trip cancellation insurance. Your retention of tickets, online reservations or bookings after issuance shall constitute consent to the above, and an agreement on your part to convey the contents hereto to your travel companions or group members.
 
Operator (Any Tour Operator used byJourney Fair), as the principal, is responsible for arranging and providing all of the services and accommodations offered in connection with these trips. The Operator does not own or operate, nor is it an agent for any of the firms which will provide goods and services for the trip or for any option which may be available in connection with the trip (including optional side trips, car rentals, etc.) and the Operator has not priced the trip or option to allow Operator to guarantee against failure of any such firms. Accordingly, Participant(s) agree to seek remedies directly with the supplier and not to hold Journey Fair or Operator liable, in the absence of its negligence, for any loss, injury, delay or expense which results directly or indirectly from any action or omission, whether negligent, criminal or otherwise, of any entity providing goods or services for the trip or any available option (e.g., without limitation, the quality of services, cleanliness of a hotel, hotel overbooking or any flight delay).
 
Participant(s) also agree not to hold Journey Fair or Operator liable for circumstances beyond its control (e.g., force majeure). Participant(s) acknowledge that neither Journey Fair nor Operator have made any representation or promises with respect to the tour described herein except as expressly set forth in the Operator’s literature, unless such agreement is in writing and signed by an officer of Operator. At any time, Journey Fair or Operator may decline, for any reason, any person as a Participant on a trip (or option) whereupon the only obligation shall be to refund to such person that portion of payment allocable to the unused services.

Reservation and Payment

Journey Fair accepts payment by American Express, Visa, MasterCard, or Discover. Additional documentation may be required to verify the legal cardholder identity. Your IP address is also recorded for verification purposes. Journey Fair does not accept personal checks, cashier checks or money orders. Note that payments are sent directly to the supplier of the customer’s booking, and the supplier processes all payments and posts all potential future refunds. AIO does not hold any payments from customers. Suppliers may also retain client payments and then use their own corporate cards to pay vendors, such as airlines and resorts.

Third Party Reservations

A vacation reservation is considered to be a Third Party Reservation when a person who is not a listed passenger on the booking is using a credit card to pay for someone else’s vacation. Examples include, but are not limited to, a parent paying for their son or daughter’s honeymoon or an employer buying a trip to reward an employee and spouse.

In these situations, after the review of a reservation, AIO may deem it necessary for a Third Party Credit Card Form to be submitted by a specified deadline. The credit card will be charged immediately when the reservation is made, but the Third Party Credit Card form may be required as additional proof of authorization. In addition to the signed Third Party Credit Card form, we require a photocopy of the cardholder’s drivers license and a copy of the front and back of the credit card used to make the booking. This form will be sent to you via DocuSign if it is required.

Failure to submit this form and required information within the specified time period will result in your booking being cancelled. In the event of cancellation due to the failure to submit the form and documentation, a refund will then be issued for the full amount paid at the time of cancellation minus any applicable cancellation fees.

Package Price

Prices are in USD and are subject to increase prior to the time you make the required minimum deposit of your trip. Prices of the exact components of your package (including but not limited to hotel, air, transfers, extras, & excursions) are not subject to increase after this amount has been paid, except for charges resulting from increased government-imposed taxes or fees. Should any component of your package change for any reason (including but not limited to flight cancellations imposed by the airline, booking revisions requested by Participant, etc.) the total package price will be subject to change.

Please Note: When making a reservation with children, per person pricing is a computed average of the total package price and does not reflect the true per person rate for both adults and children. Adult rates may vary from children rates since some hoteliers provide lower rates for children. In the event of cancellation, the true per person rates will be applied to a refund versus the computed average of the total package price. Cancellation fees will be applied at the true per person rates.

Insurance

Trip cancellation, health, accident and luggage insurance is available and strongly recommended. Travel protection must be purchased at the time of deposit.

Revisions and Changes

Revisions or changes made to a reservation are subject to a $50 fee plus any change in package price as well as any fees charged by Operator or other suppliers (hotel, airline, etc.). Fees vary based on the tour operator and supplier policy. Fees are charged when any trip component (including, but not limited to, traveler name, hotel, airfare, travel dates, or room category) has been changed after deposit has been received.

Revision requests can only be processed after receiving authorization from the cardholder(s) on the reservation.

Cancellations

Cancellation penalties vary depending on Operator, travel dates, and the components of the package. During select holidays and peak travel periods, (including, but not limited to: Christmas/New Year’s, winter school break, Easter, etc.) cancellation penalties may be higher and subject to the supplier fees. Please note: airfare is typically 100% non-refundable unless covered by trip cancellation insurance.

Cancellation requests can only be processed after receiving authorization from the cardholder(s) on the reservation.

Journey Fair and/or Operators may cancel a booking at any time should they deem it necessary due to suspicion of fraudulent activity or other reasons.

Refunds

All requests for refunds after travel must be made within 7 days after completion of the tour. All appropriate receipts and documentation must accompany the refund request. No refund will be made for features the Participant opts not to use.

Refund requests may be issued either in the form of a future travel credit or in the original form of payment depending on supplier terms. Refunds made will never exceed the amount originally paid on each form of payment. Cashback Refunds must always be issued to the original form of payment. A check may be issued via mail by the supplier only if the refund attempt is rejected by the cardholder’s bank or card company.

Select room categories and vacation packages are 100% non-refundable and are identified as such in the display at time of booking. Travel Protection is not available for non-refundable packages. Any changes or cancellations of these bookings will result in full penalty and no refund will be issued to the cardholder.

Future travel credit is issued by the supplier, so it must be applied toward a new booking with the same supplier as the original reservation. At time of travel credit issuance, customers will be given instructions on how to redeem the credit with an agent (credit cannot be applied to a booking made online). Travel credit cannot be used toward cruises. Air credit must typically be used in conjunction with a resort stay to one of the destinations on the Journey Fair website (and offered by the specific supplier the original tickets were booked through). Some exceptions might be made for air-only to domestic destinations in lieu of a resort package (dependent on supplier terms and type of airfare).

Meal Plans

Although many resorts sold by Journey Fair include an all-inclusive meal plan (all meals and drinks are included in package cost), hotels that include other meal plans are also offered and are identified as such in the display at time of booking. Examples include, but are not limited to: “No Meals or Drinks Included,” “Breakfast Included,” etc. Participant’s failure to acknowledge and verify the intended meal plan is not a covered reason under the standard cancellation policy and will not be rewarded special consideration for cancellation, refunds, or complimentary upgrades to an alternate meal plan.

Proof Of Citizenship

With the exception of U.S. territories, all destinations require U.S. citizens to have a valid passport. Further passport information can be found at travel.state.gov.

Travel to some destinations (including, but not limited to, Costa Rica and Mexico) requires a passport that is valid for at least 6 months after scheduled travel dates.

It is the responsibility of each traveler to possess and present proper documentation for International travel. Visa and passport requirements may change without notice. Travelers must visit travel.state.gov or contact the appropriate consulate prior to departure to verify current travel requirements.

U.S. citizens traveling to the U.S. Virgin Islands require a valid state-issued photo i.d., as well as proof of U.S. citizenship.

If you are a citizen of another country there may be additional requirements. Check with the nearest consulate of the destination you are traveling to and find out entry requirements for non-United States citizens.

Participant’s failure to enter valid legal names during the reservation process will result in change fees unless changes are made within 24 hours of booking.

Participant(s) are subject to the ticket terms and tariffs of the airlines, which, when issued, shall be the sole contract between the airline and the Participant.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) may impose further requirements. To view all requirements by the TSA, please visit http://www.tsa.gov.
