WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE ENROLLEMENT FEE

Please Note: Changes in foreign currency valuations, fuel charges, and other items can necessitate small changes in our fees. Beyond Travel fees, therefore, are subject to change.

LATE FEES:  Incremental fees accrued due to late registrations or registration forms which are still incomplete or unsigned less than 45 days  before departure will be charged to you.

CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS: Any cancellation received in writing more than 45 days prior to departure will result in a cancellation fee of $300.00.  Any cancellation received 45 days or less prior to departure, including cancellations due to actual or threatened terrorist events or due to fear of travel from actual or threatened terrorists events, will not receive a refund.  There will also be no refunds for voluntary withdrawal or withdrawal as a result of illness or accident before or during a tour. 

Beyond Travel, LLC (and together with its owners, outfitters, agents, and employees, “BT”) reserves the right to alter or cancel any trip, program, excursion and/ or activity (or levy a surcharge) due to inadequate registrations. We are not responsible for costs incurred in preparing for a program that is cancelled.  

LIABILITY : BT gives notice that they act only as the agent for the owners, contractors, and suppliers providing travel services and accommodations, and assume no responsibility or liability for injury, loss or damage to person or property in connection with any service resulting directly or indirectly from any defect in any vehicle, or through any negligent or willful act (or failure to act) of any company or person engaged in carrying out the tour or other purpose.  [In the event it becomes necessary or advisable for the comfort or well-being of the passengers, for any reasons whatsoever, to alter the itinerary or arrangements, such alterations may be made without penalty to the tour operators.  Additional expenses, if any, shall be borne by the passengers.]  BT shall not be responsible for any injury, loss, death, inconvenience, delay or damage in connection with the provision of any goods or services whether resulting from, but not limited to: criminal or terrorist activities of any kind; strikes or other labor activities or unrest; athletic or sporting events or endeavors; mechanical or structural integrity of air, sea, and ground transportation and accommodations; overbooking or downgrading of accommodations; diseases; local laws; climatic conditions; acts of God or force majeure; acts of war or civil unrest, insurrection or revolt; domestic or wild animals; adequacy or availability of health services and/or evacuation services, if such become necessary; delays, changes or cancellation of travel due to weather conditions, hotel services, accidents or health-related problems before, while in-transit to, during, and after a tour; or any other actions, omissions, or conditions outside of BT’s control.  Baggage is at the owner's risk at all times.  By embarking upon his or her travel, the traveler voluntarily assumes all risks involved in such travel, whether expected or unexpected.  The traveler is hereby warned of the above risks, as well as possible travel industry bankruptcies and medical and climatic disruptions, and the possibility that the traveler may be unable to travel as scheduled due to personal emergency.

AIR TICKETING:  You are responsible for making your own flight arrangements and for all associated fees [,including any necessary airport/hotel transfers]; however, as a courtesy to our clients, we may assist with your domestic air reservations at no extra cost other than those costs imposed by the airlines.  Since we cannot anticipate the availability of particular flight days and times, especially during holiday periods when flights are very difficult to book, we recommend that you prepare to commit to travel dates as early as possible after registering for a tour.  [If BT must change the tour dates or cancel a trip for any reason, BT is not responsible for any air ticket costs you may have incurred on flight arrangements booked on your own.]

I, the undersigned, am enclosing a deposit of $300 payable to Beyond Travel, LLC  (hereafter (BT) which is to be credited to my enrollment fee. If this application is being submitted less that 45 days before the start of the desired program, it must be accompanied by a payment in full. I have read and understand all the literature describing the tour and the tour itinerary and am aware that no travel is without risk.  In the event of illness or accident, I understand that BT will make every effort to notify the person listed under "Emergency Contact Information" on this Registration Form.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, I give my permission for emergency medical treatment, as required, if such notification is impossible or impractical under the circumstances.  I understand that BT will make every effort to minimize the risks inherent in travel, but that BT cannot guarantee against circumstances over which it has little or no control.  I agree that upon advancement of deposit to BT, I will be bound to the conditions and terms recited above and agree that BT will not be held responsible for accidental injury, death, or other damage to anyone arising out of activities related to this trip.  I hereby agree to fully reimburse BT, or any agent thereof, for any costs or loss to them resulting from such occurrence not covered by insurance.  I agree that any disagreements will be settled in Kings County, State of New York.  I have read and accept the above conditions and would like to reserve my space on the tour.  I understand that should I not be able to complete the tour for any reason, BT will not reimburse any fees and that trip cancellation insurance is thus strongly advised.

Upon signing below, the undersigned authorizes Beyond Travel, LLC to charge the cost of the tour services ordered by the undersigned on any and all credit, charge, and/or debit card numbers presented, either in writing or verbally, from this date forward.  Such purchases may be made without inserting the signature of the undersigned on the credit, charge and/or debit card charge forms or other similar documents accepted by the issuer of such credit card.
