   accommodations, transportation, activities and tours based on Client’s preferences and budget, as well as any other services agreed to by the parties in
   writing.
2. Travel Advisor may charge a planning fee for its services, which will be mutually agreed with Client in writing. Any planning fees charged are 100% non-
   refundable and due before Travel Advisor begins work on an itinerary.

D. Suppliers; Client’s Responsibility.

1. Travel Advisor’s role is to make travel reservations for the Client upon request and to act as liaison between Client and travel suppliers, ensuring the itinerary runs smoothly.
2. Client acknowledges that the suppliers whose names appear in travel documentation are those actually responsible for providing the travel services purchased and that travel documents may be issued by third party booking channels selected by Travel Advisor. Client consents to the use of the suppliers disclosed to Client and is responsible for due diligence of the suppliers chosen by Client or the traveler and quality of their services. Client agrees that the Travel Advisor will not be responsible if the Client is not satisfied with the final choices.
3. Travel Advisor makes no guarantee of a supplier’s rates, bookings, quality of services, or special requests. Each supplier is an independent entity with its own management and is not subject to Travel Advisor’s control. Travel Advisor bears no responsibility for any changes, delays, alterations, modifications or cancellations of an itinerary or booking made by a supplier, other third party or due to force majeure and does not cover associated costs.

E. Travel Bookings.

1. Rates: All quoted prices are in USD unless otherwise indicated and are subject to change without notice. You understand and agree that many suppliers
   employ dynamic pricing and prices are based on several factors, including demand and availability. Prices cannot be guaranteed until the applicable
   service is booked and the deposit, if applicable, is received.
2. Currency Fluctuations: Client is aware that there may be currency fluctuations that may affect the final amount due for the Client’s reservations.
3. Confirmed Bookings: All bookings are subject to availability and confirmation by Travel Advisor.
4. Personal Information: Client authorizes Travel Advisor’s use of Client’s personal information for bookings, airfare/airline tickets, tours, cruises,
   restaurant reservations and any other services requested by the Client.
5. Payment: Client will pay for all travel services promptly when due by paying the supplier directly or, if directed by Travel Advisor, by paying Fora who
   will process the payment on behalf of a supplier.
6. Credit Card Authorization; Disputes and Chargebacks: You may choose to keep a credit card on file with Travel Advisor which Travel Advisor may
   charge for any travel services and associated amounts that are expressly authorized by you. You further certify that you are an authorized user of any credit card provided to Travel Advisor. YOU AGREE NOT TO FILE ANY DISPUTE WITH YOUR BANK OR CREDIT CARD COMPANY TO AVOID OR VIOLATE ANY BOOKING TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF TRAVEL ADVISOR OR OUR TRAVEL SUPPLIERS OR PARTNERS, INCLUDING CANCELLATIONS OR CHANGES OF ITINERARY OR ARRANGEMENTS FOR REASONS BEYOND OUR CONTROL, UNLESS THE PRODUCT OR SERVICES PURCHASED WERE NEVER PROVIDED OR GROSSLY MISREPRESENTED.

Client also agrees to provide Travel Advisor with a minimum of 48 hours’ notice by email for Travel Advisor to effect any cancellation or modification requests. Travel Advisor will not be liable for any penalties imposed on Client due to untimely requests by Client. Client further agrees that to the extent Travel Advisor incurs any fees or expenses because of modification or cancellation of a booking, such costs and expenses will be passed on to Client.
9. Travel Insurance. Travel insurance is not included unless expressly stated and purchased by Client. Travel insurance can protect against supplier issues, delays, cancellations, medical emergencies, lost luggage, and more. Proper insurance helps safeguard against financial loss in most situations. Without appropriate travel insurance, you understand and agree that if you cancel your travel or your trip is interrupted for any reason, Travel Advisor and travel suppliers’ cancellation penalties will apply resulting in the loss of monies up to the full cost of Client’s travel booking and related costs.

F. Government Identification and Travel Advisories.

1. Denial of Entrance. You understand that Travel Advisor is not responsible for the denied entry into any country for any guest and that all guests are
   responsible to ensure that they have all the proper documents for entry. All names on documents must match the legal name on the guest’s photo I.D., and travel document information must match tickets. You understand that minors unaccompanied by birth parents will need a permission letter for travel outside the U.S. and any travelers with criminal convictions may be denied entry to certain countries, including Canada. Each guest is responsible for determining if issues are present with the immigration/customs process into a foreign country. BEING DENIED ENTRY FOR ANY REASON MAY RESULT IN A COMPLETE FINANCIAL LOSS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR TRIP AND DOES NOT ENTITLE YOU TO ANY REFUND.
2. Passports. You understand that a passport is required for international travel, including for children & babies and that for some countries (including Mexico, Costa Rica, St. Lucia, Europe) passports must be valid 6 months after the date of travel. Additionally, a visa may be required by applicable government regulations. WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR TRAVEL DOCUMENTS, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THE INFORMATION IS CORRECT.
3. Traveling with Minors. Children and infants may also require travel documents. Minors traveling with one parent, and/or without both parents, may be stopped and not admitted, unless authenticated and verified consent forms are provided to the authorities; please see https://help.cbp.gov for additional information. Parental or legal guardian consent must be provided to the supervising adult or group leader in writing.
4. Travel Advisories. Travel to certain destinations or during certain times may involve greater risk than others (especially as it relates to COVID-19/other communicable diseases and evolving geopolitical tensions). Changes in travel advisories (i.e., government-issued warnings, recommendations or notices regarding safety, security, health risks or other travel-related concerns in certain destinations) shall not supersede the cancellation and refund policies of travel suppliers or partners. Client acknowledges that unless they have applicable travel insurance coverage, changes to travel advisories or personal concerns, including anxiety or discomfort regarding a destination, do not entitle you to a refund, credit, or other compensation. It is your responsibility to review and understand travel advisories issued by the United States and the destinations you will be visiting. Travel Advisor does not represent that travel to locations, even locations for which it provides services to, is advisable or without risk. CLIENT’S PARTICIPATION IN ANY TRAVEL CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH RISK.
