Suppliers

I understand that Love + Leisure Boutique Travel Agency, is not the source or supplier of the travel services, airline travel, or any third party operated excursion or activity that I have requested, and acts solely as an agent for the actual suppliers of such services. I have been advised that the suppliers whose names appear in the information supplied to me are those who are actually responsible for providing the services I have purchased. I consent to and request the use of those suppliers and agree not to hold Love + Leisure Boutique Travel Agency responsible should any of these suppliers: 1) fail to provide the travel services I have purchased; 2) fail to comply with any applicable law; or 3) engage in any negligent act or omission that causes me any sort of injury, damage, delay or inconvenience.

Cancellation- Please see specific supplier terms below

I understand that all reservation fares typically involve restrictions (including, but not limited to, restrictions related to cancellation) and that changing any aspect of my travel arrangements may result in the payment of additional money. I understand the cancellation terms. I understand that Love + Leisure Boutique Travel Agency only accepts credit cards. By using a credit card, this may offer me the opportunity to dispute the charges should a vendor cease to operate. Additionally, if a chargeback is done fraudulently or under false pretenses, Love + Leisure Boutique Travel Agency will have the right to present the case in small claims court. If Travel Agency wins, the traveler is responsible for all legal fees and administrative fees. The administrative fee for handling a chargeback is $350.

 Traveler and ID/Document Responsibilities

I understand that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires me to carry a government-issued identification card in order to board a flight. I have been advised that the name, date of birth and gender that appears on the identification card must exactly match the same such data that is listed on my airline ticket and in my booking records. I acknowledge that my failure to strictly comply with these requirements may result in denied boarding or an undue delay at an airport security checkpoint causing me to miss my flight. I understand that if traveling internationally, I must have a valid passport and depending upon my destination and nationality, I may need to obtain one or more visas. I take full responsibility and must determine the proper entry requirements when traveling internationally. This includes passports, visas, vaccinations, legal authorization, and any documents that may be required such as a minor traveling without parents. All passengers are required to have a valid passport to travel. Passports should be valid for at least six months after the return date. Traveler assumes complete and full responsibility for, and hereby releases Travel Agency from any duty of checking and verifying any and all passport, visa, vaccination, or other entry requirements of each destination, and all safety and security conditions of such destinations, during the length of the proposed travel. It is the passenger’s responsibility to have proper passports or government-issued IDs where permitted. It is the traveler’s responsibility to be informed of any state department warnings where they are traveling. I also need to be aware of any health risks and take the appropriate precautions.

 

I will review my documents when I receive them and notify the travel agency of any discrepancies.  It is the traveler's responsibility to have appropriate documents for identification. It is the traveler's responsibility to read online or in the brochure from cruise lines, hotels, resorts, suppliers or tour companies and be aware of any cancellation penalties. Refunds, if due from airlines, tour companies, suppliers, resorts, cruise lines and hotels will be made to our customers only after the monies have been received from these sources by us. This process may take a minimum of 5-7 business days and possibly longer. Rates are subject to change and availability until a deposit or full payment is paid. Cancellation may incur a full payment penalty. The deposit may be non-refundable. Please see the above and supplier cancellation terms.

All hotels undergo routine maintenance and renovation both in the low and high seasons. At brand new hotels, some facilities may not be fully functional and landscaping and other finishing touches may be ongoing during your stay. If we are advised that significant work at your hotel will be in progress during your stay or any major facilities will not be available we will try to advise you prior to your departure. Topless sunbathers may frequent some resorts, the control of whom is beyond the authority of the resort. The hotel cannot accept responsibility for the behavior of other guests/groups or the withdrawal of services or facilities due to cultural and political events or holidays.

Most hotels offer international satellite TV which differs from American satellite TV. The number of English channels will vary by country and by hotel. Ocean view rooms can consist of a full or partial view of the ocean and can differ by property. Not all rooms designated as "ocean view" will offer a full or direct view of the ocean.

Non-U.S. citizens, to include permanent resident card [U.S. Green Card] holders, Travelers must check with the consulate of their intended destination, U.S. authorities and the air carrier[s] to obtain information on required documentation for entry to the destination and re-entry to the U.S.

The above information regarding documentation is subject to change. It is your responsibility to obtain current requirements needed for your carrier and destination. Vacation Express will not be liable for passengers' denied boarding, entry or re-entry due to lack of proper documentation and such passengers will not be entitled to a refund.

Customs and Immigration

Customs and/or immigration officials can deny a person, or persons, whether they are residents or visitors, entry (or re-entry) into their country at their own discretion. A previous criminal record could be an obstacle in international travel. Vacation Express cannot be held responsible for denied entry under any circumstances.

Airport Check-In

Check-in commences approximately three hours prior to departure and we highly recommend that you check-in at this time. For cut-off/check-in deadlines, please check with your carrier. You are required to have obtained your boarding pass and to have presented all checked baggage before the carrier's cut off/check-in deadline. For security reasons, you will be denied boarding if you have not checked in within that time. For charter flights, you must check-in a minimum of one hour prior to scheduled departure, otherwise you will be denied boarding. Passengers must be available at the boarding gate by the boarding gate deadline time noted on your boarding pass. Failure to respect the deadline may result in the reassignment of any pre-reserved seats [refunds not applicable] and the cancellation of your reservations.

Please note that Vacation Express will not provide refunds or compensation for unused seating upgrades or provide any compensation as a result of a passenger being denied boarding. Should you be denied travel, it is your responsibility to make alternate arrangements. It is your responsibility to arrive at the airport on time and following check-in, to proceed to the correct departure gate by the time specified on your boarding pass. Vacation Express cannot be held responsible if you miss your flight by failing to comply with these requirements.

Hotel Check-In and Check-Out Conditions 

The check-in time for most hotels is 3:00 pm and check-out time can be as early as 11:00 am, regardless of your arrival or departure times. Please refer to your hotel accommodation voucher for actual check-in and check-out dates as this may differ from your departure and return date. Check-in policies differ by hotel and will therefore vary. Many hotels will offer hospitality areas for travelers who may be without their room for some time; however this arrangement is solely at the discretion of the hotel. Travelers wishing to make arrangements for a late check-out and baggage storage must arrange this service directly with the hotel. We do not accept responsibility for any inconvenience or loss arising from these types of arrangements. Some hotels may require you to leave a credit card imprint or cash deposit upon check-in to provide security for miscellaneous charges such as telephone calls.
