REFUNDS:  You acknowledge and agree that all payments that you make to Welscapes by Ki-Ki, LLC are non-refundable and non-transferable.  This is because Welscapes by Ki-Ki, LLC has contractual agreements with hotels, airlines and other vendors that will not allow us to obtain any refunds.  This way we can keep our package prices competitive and allow you to make monthly payments for your vacation.

CREDIT/DEBIT CARD CHARGEBACK POLICY:  If you are not happy with our services for any reason, you agree not to file a chargeback with your credit or debit card before you have given us an opportunity to address the matter.  Your satisfaction is very important to us and we strive to stand behind our products and services.  We will work to address any issue that you might have.  By signing this agreement or booking a trip with us, you agree that chargebacks are not to be used for refund convenience, in other words, it is not an appropriate way to avoid our cancellation and refund policy to which you agree by signing this agreement.  We view such chargebacks as a form of “friendly fraud,” but fraud nonetheless.  We will vigorously dispute any chargeback and reserve the right to report fraudulent chargebacks to authorities. Should we win any chargeback that you initiate, you agree to reimburse us for our attorney’s fees, time, costs and expenses in rebutting the chargeback.

ROOMMATE MATCHING:  Roommate matching is available for all our travel experiences.  You will be matched with a roommate once you have paid 75% of the balance due for your selected trip and provided the person you will be matched with has done the same.  You agree that we are not responsible for the actions or inactions of your roommate or for their health or medical condition (including but not limited to whether they have a communicable disease or virus such as coronavirus), and we make no representations or have any responsibility as to your compatibility.

It is the sole responsibility of each traveler to obtain the necessary documentation for all aspects of their tour.  

TRAVEL INSURANCE: All travelers must have adequate medical insurance to cover any medical emergencies or issues that might arise during your trip. Also, missing your trip is bad enough. Losing the financial investment you have paid towards your trip is worse. Therefore, we recommend Travel Insurance that helps provide coverage for Trip Cancellation, Travel Interruptions, Lost Baggage, Delays, Medical Expenses and more. You are required to select and purchase a policy on your own for domestic and international tours. We also strongly encourage you to consider purchasing insurance that permits you to cancel for any reason (“CFAR”). These CFAR policies must be purchased within a very short time period after you make your initial trip deposit so do not delay. We make no representations or guarantees whatsoever about the availability of travel insurance or coverage matters.

You understand and agree that should you choose NOT to purchase travel insurance, you will not be protecting your escape through insurance and you will be fully responsible for any costs, losses or damages incurred in connection with your trip, including those relating to trip cancellation or interruption, loss or theft of personal property, medical expenses, and more.

In this instance, Welscapes by Ki-Ki, LLC will require immediate full payment of the airfare. This situation overrides invoice terms and conditions and payment due dates. If full payment is not received, seats will be cancelled by the airline and may not be available to be rebooked on the same flights or the same airfare.

Some private airfares, such as a “Welscapes by Ki-Ki, LLC airfare”, are not eligible for full mileage or may qualify for reduced mileage, even if the same airline class of service is eligible for full mileage when sold as an “instant purchase” published fare. Not all published airfares are eligible for mileage. Welscapes by Ki-Ki, LLC will record frequent flier numbers when provided by passengers prior to travel documents being issued.

However, the addition of frequent flier numbers to airline records does not guarantee mileage eligibility which is at the sole discretion of each airline. Airline schedule changes may result in flights which were originally eligible for mileage accrual no longer being eligible. We highly recommend passengers to provide their frequent flier account information whenever checking in online and/or at the airport check in desk.
