Terms & Conditions for our Tours

By booking or participating in a bespoke tour and any related products or services (a “Tour”) with GRRRLTRAVELER LLC, a company (“GRRRLTRAVELER” or the “Travel Host”), you (“you” “Customer”) agree to these Terms & Conditions (the “Terms”).\

By booking a Tour you acknowledge that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you make a booking on behalf of other participants, you guarantee that you have the authority to accept and do accept these Terms on behalf of the other participants in your party.

1. Booking Contract

Your booking is confirmed and a contract exists when your payment for a tour is paid in full. Please check your confirmation carefully and report any incorrect or incomplete information to us immediately. Please ensure that names are exactly as stated in the relevant passport.

You must be at least 18 years of age to make a booking. You agree to provide full, complete and accurate information to GRRRLTRAVELER and/or our inbound operator partner.

Any changes to your name on any booking within 10 days of departure are subject to GRRRLTRAVELER’s approval. Any extra costs incurred for making the change will be charged to you along with an administrative fee. No changes are permitted to any booking within 10 days of departure of the first product or service on the applicable booking.

2. Required Booking Details

As a condition of booking, you must provide the information requested by GRRRLTRAVELER along with final payment. If you fail to supply information required by GRRRLTRAVELER for air tickets, permits, or other inclusions, you will also be liable for any costs, fees or losses including failure to obtain or provide that inclusion.

Customer Names provided for booking reservations must match Customer’s passport. Date of birth and complete passport details are required. Any minor name corrections advised after airline tickets have been issued will incur fees. Not all name corrections will be permitted by airlines and may require the purchase of a new ticket. You voluntarily assume full and sole responsibility for any and all risks and/or costs involved with failure to report any errors and/or omissions to documentation.

In the event that you fail to supply information required by GRRRLTRAVELER, GRRRLTRAVELER reserves the right to treat your booking (or the relevant component of your booking) as canceled and levy any cancellation fees deemed reasonable by GRRRLTRAVELER, in its sole discretion. The information required by GRRRLTRAVELER will vary by Tour and will be communicated to you or to GRRRLTRAVELER’s authorized agent during the booking process.

You are responsible for ensuring that the information provided to GRRRLTRAVELER is accurate and up-to-date. GRRRLTRAVELER will not be held responsible for any fees you incur as a result of errors, omissions, inaccuracies, late, misplaced or otherwise incomplete information you have provided.

3. Booking on Behalf of Others

Should you book on the behalf of others, you acknowledge that you are regarded as the designated contact person for each participant listed on the booking and you are in charge of paying all fees associated with your tour booking, keeping your group informed, and alerting GRRRLTRAVELER and/or our local operator partner of any necessary adjustments or cancellations. Our age requirement minimum for tours is 18 years old.

You represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary consents by making a reservation on behalf of another person or persons. GRRRLTRAVELER is not held liable for any errors or omissions in the information provided to complete a booking; it is your responsibility to ensure that any information you supply on behalf of another participant is complete and accurate.

4. Tour Destinations

Travel always involves greater risk than daily life and it is also vulnerable to crime.  GRRRLTRAVELER urges Customer to be informed daily as to current news and to review travel and crime warnings, announcements, and advisories issued by the United States Government (or the government of your resident country) prior to booking travel to international destinations. For U.S. citizens, information on conditions and the level of risk associated with travel to destinations can be found at https://www.travel.state.gov and https://www.cdc.gov.

Additionally, consult with government websites to ensure that you are following all requirements for admittance into that country, including COVID- 19 requirements, as well as understanding local laws that govern travel within a country, such as medical tests and tracking. Should you choose to travel to a country that has been issued a travel warning or advisory, GRRRLTRAVELER will not be liable for damages or losses that result from travel to such destinations.

5. Travel Documents- Passports, Visas

Travel documents: It is your responsibility to obtain information and to have in your possession all the required documentation and identification required for entry, departure and travel to each country or region. This includes any visas, permits, certifications (such as immunization, vaccine or medical certificates), and insurance policies that may be required by the relevant government agencies.

You must have a passport that is still valid, and your final date of travel with GRRRLTRAVELER as indicated on your itinerary must be at least six months away. You assume full responsibility for obtaining all essential documentation, such as visas and permits, prior to the start of the Tour..  For up-to-date requirements US citizens should visit www.travel.state.gov.

Additionally, you are entirely responsible for paying any fees related to incomplete or inaccurate documents

You agree to accept full responsibility for any loss or expense incurred by GRRRLTRAVELER as a direct result of your inability to secure or possess valid travel documentation. You acknowledge and agree that GRRRLTRAVELER disclaims all liability for any errors or omissions in this information, does not provide advice on travel documents, and disclaims any representations or warranties regarding the accuracy or completeness of any information provided on visas, vaccinations, climate, clothing, baggage, or special equipment.

6. Mandatory Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is mandatory on all GRRRLTRAVELER tours. You will not be able to join our tour without proof of it. You may use your credit card insurance if it covers the tour destination. If you do not have travel insurance, Christine uses World Nomads for adventure travel. You can also find good insurance policy options with Travel Master insurance finder. You must have personal accident, death, medical expense, and emergency repatriation coverage as part of your travel insurance. Additionally, we strongly advise that it includes coverage for COVID quarantine, cancellation, curtailment, personal liability, and loss of luggage and other belongings.

You must provide your travel insurance policy number and the insurance company’s 24-hour emergency contact number 7 days before the trip. If you have travel insurance connected to your credit card or bank account please ensure you have details of the participating insurer, the insurance policy number and emergency contact number with you rather than the bank’s name and credit card details. You will not be able to join the trip without these details

GRRRLTRAVELER is not qualified to answer technical questions about the benefits, exclusions, and conditions of travel insurance plans. GRRRLTRAVELER cannot evaluate the adequacy of the prospective insured’s existing insurance coverage. If you have any questions about your travel protection, call your insurer or insurance agent.

7. Required Medical Information

You may be required to complete the medical information form enclosed in the Liability Waiver form (the “Medical Form”), available on the Tour Operator’s website at http://www.grrrltraveler.com/medical-form

If you have any pre-existing medical conditions that could affect your ability to travel, participate in a Tour, travel to remote areas without access to medical facilities, or should it negatively affect the experience of others on your Tour, then you must have a licensed and practicing physician sign this form.

You must fill out the medical form truthfully and provide complete, accurate, and pertinent medical information.  Pregnancy is a condition that must be told to GRRRLTRAVELER at the time of booking because it is seen as a medical issue. Women who are above 24 weeks pregnant may not be allowed to go. GRRRLTRAVELER could decide not to carry anyone with certain medical conditions if reasonable accommodation or alternatives cannot be arranged. GRRRLTRAVELER reserves the right to refuse you permission to travel or participate in any aspect of a Tour at any time and at your own risk and expense.

GRRRLTRAVELER retains the right to cancel your reservation and all associated cancellation fees will apply if you fail to submit the appropriate medical information requested by GRRRLTRAVELER before the noted deadline.

It is your responsibility to decide if a Tour is appropriate for you. To ensure that you are healthy enough to travel and take part in any planned activities, you should speak with your doctor. It is your obligation to evaluate the dangers and requirements of each component of the Tour in light of your particular situation, restrictions, level of fitness, and medical needs.

8. Immunizations

Traveling with GRRRLTRAVELER may entail stopping in remote areas, where access to medical care may be limited and medical facilities may not be up to par with those in your home country. The quality of the medical facilities in the nations you could go to on your tour varies, and GRRRLTRAVELER makes no guarantees or statements regarding their availability or caliber in those areas.

It is recommended to consult your doctor for guidance on immunizations and travel shots. They may change and you should consult your practitioner for current recommendations before you depart. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet all health entry requirements, obtain the recommended inoculations, take all recommended medication, and follow all medical advice in relation to your trip. Immunization/ innoculation information can be found on the Center for Disease Control website at https://www.cdc.gov/.

9. Special Requirements

At the time of booking, GRRRLTRAVELER must be informed of any particular needs. Given the nature of the countries visited and the availability of options outside of a scheduled itinerary, GRRRLTRAVELER will make reasonable attempts to fulfill particular needs or requests, but this is not always practicable. If your movement is restricted in any manner, you might not be able to participate in some activities. GRRRLTRAVELER must be informed of any food allergies and dietary requirements at the time of booking, however GRRRLTRAVELER cannot ensure that dietary demands or limitations will be met. The contract between you and GRRRLTRAVELER does not include any specific requests or requirements, and GRRRLTRAVELER is not responsible for any such requests or needs.

10. Deposits

A non-refundable deposit in the amount shown on the tour page, is required at the time of booking. See the tour sales page for specifications as tour requirements may vary. At the time of booking, full payment is required 60 days before departure.

11. Final Payment 

The confirmation sent by GRRRLTRAVELER or the partnering inbound operator will contain details of final payment required for any booking. If full payment is not received by 60 days before tour date, GRRRLTRAVELER may, at its sole discretion, treat the booking as cancelled, offer the spot to waitlisted guests and retain the deposit paid on booking as a cancellation fee, according to Terms. If a booking is made less than 60 days before the departure date of the first product included in the applicable booking, then the full amount must be paid at the time of booking. If, for any product or service booked, payment terms differ from those outlined in this section, the applicable terms will be communicated to you prior to booking and will also be detailed on the applicable invoice.

GRRRLTRAVELER is not responsible for any charges levied by third parties or financial institutions and payable by you as a result of credit card or other payment transactions and will not refund or return any fees charged by third parties or financial institutions in connection with payments made by you to GRRRLTRAVELER.

12. Cancellation Policy

You may cancel your booking by notifying GRRRLTRAVELER . Cancellation fees, if any, will be determined with reference to the date on which notice of cancellation is received by the inbound local Tour Operator and are expressed as a percentage of the total price paid for the cancelled Tour, product or service (excluding any insurance products)

We have two policies so please read closely. Our refund policy for cancellations is as follows:

In the special circumstance that on the trip payment final deadline and/or when tour greenlight announcements or deposits are made to the local operator to secure our trip, and you are the customer makes up part of the minimum pax that was needed to greenlight the tour :

We cannot offer refunds of payment as your spot has counted as part of the operational costs of green lighting the group trip for everyone. Once the tour operator has been notified of a greenlight, payments are sent to reserve our bookings and letters of invitation are being processed.

However, we may allow you to transfer your spot to another traveler’s name to go in your place. A $200 admin fee apples for any name changes  (and in the case the fee for this switch is greater than $200, you must pay the additional costs for the transfer).

If we have secured than our required minimum pax of guests for the trip to operate, the following cancellation fees apply.

The number of days before tour starts vs refunded amount:

119 to 76 days   100% refund (deposit is not included in this refund)
75 to 61 days       50% refund (deposit is not included in this refund)
60 to 1 days           0% refund

As a trip host of bespoke tours, GRRRLTRAVELER partners with local/destination tour operators who require payment deposits to secure your tour spot with hotels, transportation, flights, etc.. For the security of the group experience and to keep our tour price from rising we require cancellations to be as such. I thank you for your understanding of my strict policies.

13. Cancellation of the Tour by the Tour Operator or GRRRLTRAVELER

If a Tour is cancelled by the local/destination tour operator or GRRRLTRAVELER before the date of departure for reasons other than Force Majeure and your fault or negligence does not cause the cancellation, you will have the choice of accepting from GRRRLTRAVELER:

(a) have your payment be applied to another available tour/dates , 

(b) a substitute Tour of lesser value if no Tour of equivalent or superior value is reasonably available; or

(c) a refund of all monies paid for the canceled Tour (minus a portion of your deposit). 

GRRRLTRAVELER reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to issue a full refund in place of the options above. GRRRLTRAVELER and the local inbound tour operator are not responsible for any incidental costs or consequential losses that you incur as a result of the canceled booking, including visas, vaccinations, non-refundable flights or rail, non-refundable car parking or other fees, loss of earnings, or loss of enjoyment. When a substantial component of a tour cannot be provided after departure, the local inbound tour operator will, whenever possible, make adequate substitute arrangements. This will depend on how the inbound Tour Operator interprets the situation.  GRRRLTRAVELER will not offer refunds on goods or services offered to you and that you reject of your own accord and free will.

14. If You are Asked to Leave a Tour

Any sexual/harassment, non-compliance, lewd and inappropriate actions to another guest or staff or extremely negative or harmful attitude to make any guest or staff feel uncomfortable will not be tolerated on GRRRLTRAVELER tours and may result in removal from the tour. 

If you are asked to leave a tour for bad behavior, violence, or any other disruptive action, you will not be refunded and no credits will be provided. GRRRLTRAVELER is not responsible for any of your travel expenses that may arise from the moment you are asked to leave our tour.
