If travel plans are delayed or cancelled for any reason there will be no refunds issued by NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC, except in those circumstances where NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC has issued its own schedule of cancellation, applicable to all or a portion of a booking (whenever such a schedule is issued, it will specifically indicate which trip component(s) it is issued for and it will apply ONLY to the specific trip component(s) indicated). Please note that a ‘trip’ or ‘booking’ often consists of multiple components, each of which may carry its own cancellation penalties (example: an airline ticket, a pre-trip hotel night, a multi-day adventure vacation by a tour operator, a post-trip extension designed by NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC, all of which may be subject to a different set of cancellation policies). You will be provided with the individual cancellation policies to the extent that these are available in a distributable format, for your records, but NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC is not responsible for this policy distribution. Clients are responsible for obtaining the applicable policies, either by contacting NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC and requesting a copy (if available, otherwise it will be verbal delivery) or by consulting the individual suppliers and/or their catalogs. No refund(s) will be issued for cancellations due to actual or threatened terrorist events or pandemics. Furthermore, there will be no refunds due to fear of travel from actual or threatened terrorist, health, political or other similar events.

It is the traveler’s responsibility to protect their purchases and Travel Insurance is strongly recommended. Traveler is advised to obtain appropriate insurance coverage against these risks. NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC has information regarding some forms of travel insurance. Traveler's retention of tickets, reservations, or bookings after issuance shall constitute consent to the above and an agreement on his/her part to convey the contents hereto to his/her travel companions or group members.

If travel plans are delayed or cancelled for any reason there will be no refunds issued by Northcutt Travel Agency., except in the circumstances wher Northcutt Travel Agency has issued its own cancellation schedule, applicable to all nor a portion of a booking (whenever a schedule is issued, it will specifically indicate which trip componenent(s) it is issued for and apply only to the specific trip component indicated.)

It is the traveler’s responsibility to protect their purchases, and Travel Insurance is strongly recommended. Traveler is advised to obtain any and all coverages prior to travel tour (e.g. medical, disability, travel insurance). Traveler has signed the Travel Insurance Refusal Form, see Addendum II.

Traveler understands that should Traveler initiate any chargeback with Traveler’s credit card company to avoid previously agreed upon fees NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC will utilize all rights and remedies under the laws of the State of Texas to uphold previously agreed contractual provisions.

I will be responsible for reimbursement of any fees from the collection agency, including all costs and expenses incurred collecting my account, and possibly including reasonable attorney’s fees if so incurred during collection efforts.

We cannot guarantee that you will be eligible for any “points” or rewards benefits from any credit card, airline, or hotel rewards program for travel booked by NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC on your behalf. 

  1. Non-refundable Custom Travel Planning Fee. The process of researching and putting together a customized, bespoke proposal that matches your travel desires takes time. The trip planning fee covers initial consultation and discussion of your trip dreams and expectations, time spent researching, developing, and revising a proposal to create the perfect customized itinerary, booking and managing all components, and support while traveling. We do not charge an upfront fee, but will charge a $50/person cancellation fee payable to our agency.

Because it covers the initial consultation, research, and time spent on the proposal, this non-refundable fee will be charged before cancellation takes place.

  1. Prices. Our prices are contractual tariffs -No claim relating to the price of a Trip will be considered once the reservation is effective. Unless otherwise stated in the description of the offer, the following will NOT be included as part of the advertised price:

    1. items of a personal nature such as incidentals and laundry

    3. port charges

    4. foreign government departure taxes

    5. costs of Passports or Visas

    12. airport parking

    13. tips and gratuities

    14. any other activities or items not explicitly advertised as included in the price of a Trip in the description of the offered Trip

Notice: We endeavor to secure the lowest possible fares, suitable for your travel requirements, based on space available at the time of booking, accessible sources of information, and knowledge of the agents involved. We cannot guarantee that the price of your travel will be the lowest possible rate obtainable.

  1. Cancellations and Alterations Policies - Important: All bookings of airline tickets, and vacation packages are non-refundable generally unless specifically described otherwise. Any alteration, transfer, or cancellation relating to airfare, or dynamic packages (flight + hotel) which affect the booked flight(s), will involve charges up to the price of the air tickets bought including, without limitation, all fees, taxes, and charges. All cancellations must be done over the phone only. We can accept refund requests only if the following conditions have been met:

    1. If, and only to the extent that, the Suppliers provide for and allow cancellations and refunds.

    2. It is not a "no show" situation (most "no show" bookings are ineligible for any waiver from Suppliers for refund processing).

    3. We are able to receive waivers from Suppliers to process the requested cancellation and refund.

All refund requests are processed in a set format. Once your cancellation request has been submitted to us, you will get an email notification acknowledging your request. This acknowledgement does not automatically qualify you for a refund. Based upon the fare rule we work with the airline or other involved Suppliers to generate a waiver and process the refund if fare rules allow. Cancellation vary as per fare rules. Refunds may take up to 4-6 business weeks to process.

CHANGES AFTER PURCHASE:All changes made to the booking after purchase are restricted and are strictly subject to the airline fare rules. Flight dates and times are changeable subject to availability and upon payment of a change fee per person, plus any additional cost between the original total price paid and the lowest total price available for the new flight at the time the change is made. Any confirmation made beyond the time frame allowed may result in additional costs, of which you will be informed by e-mail. It is essential that you return the confirmation document, otherwise your initial reservation will stand.

Any cancellation or alteration of your booking may result in costs that will be billed by our Suppliers, and our administrative costs may be added to these. In the event of an alteration, these costs will be billed to you. In the event of cancellation, these costs are deducted from the refund payable to you as per this agreement.

The cancellation of your booking for whatever reason does not exempt you from paying all the sums that you owe to NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC. Any interrupted or shortened stay, or any Service not actually used by you, for whatever reason (in particular in the event that you fail to arrive in time to enjoy the Services) does not entitle you to a refund.

As a general rule of alterations, whatever their nature, are treated as a cancellation followed by a new booking, involving the relevant cancellation charges. These charges will be added to any costs charged by the Supplier, of which you will be informed before the alteration is made.

*California and Illinois Residents only:

Upon cancellation of the transportation or travel services, where the Traveler is not at fault and has not canceled in violation of any terms and conditions previously clearly and conspicuously disclosed and agreed to by the Traveler, all sums paid to the seller of travel for services not provided will be promptly paid to the Traveler, unless the Traveler advises the seller of travel in writing, after cancellation. In California, this provision does not apply where the seller of travel has remitted the payment to another registered wholesale seller of travel or a carrier, without obtaining a refund, and where the wholesaler or provider defaults in providing the agreed-upon transportation or service. In this situation, the seller of travel must provide the Traveler with a written statement accompanied by bank records establishing the disbursement of the payment, and if disbursed to a wholesale seller of travel, proof of current registration of that wholesaler.

  1. Issuing Travel Documents -The method for issuing travel documents and/or tickets depends on the time available between the date of issue of tickets and your date of departure, and/or the type of Service. We have an eco-friendly philosophy and our general practice is to send documents to our customers electronically whenever possible [If Appropriate]. We reserve the right to charge an administration fee should you make a request for such documents to be sent as a hard copy.

If a Traveler provides incorrect information, NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC does not assume any liability if the Trip is adversely affected or made impossible by the non-receipt of travel documents.

Travel documents will only be sent to the purchasing Traveler who places the order and personally agrees to these Terms and Conditions.

  1. Insurance -NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC strongly recommends that all Travelers purchase some form of Travel, Cancellation, Lost Baggage and/or Medical Emergency Insurance for all Trips. While we can refer you to an insurance company, Traveler acknowledges that it is Traveler’s responsibility to understand the limitations of their insurance coverage and purchase additional insurance as needed. It is the Traveler’s sole responsibility to research, evaluate and purchase appropriate coverage. Traveler agrees that NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC is not responsible for any uninsured losses.

  2. Passports, Visas, Health Requirements, and Travel Risks -It is Traveler’s responsibility to verify they have all the necessary visas, passport, and vaccinations prior to travel. A full and valid passport is required for all persons traveling to any of the destinations outside the U.S. that we feature [IF APPOPRIATE]. You must obtain and have possession of a valid passport, all visas, permits and certificates, and vaccination certificates required for your entire Trip.

Most out of international Trips require a passport valid until at least six (6) months beyond the scheduled end of your Itinerary. Non-U.S. citizens should contact the appropriate consular office for any requirements pertaining to their Trip.

If you try to enter a country where visa is required, and you do not have the visa, it is possible that you will be imprisoned until there is an available flight to return you to your point of origin. 

Some countries require you to be in possession of a return ticket or exit ticket and have sufficient funds, etc. Similarly, certain countries require that the Traveler produce evidence of insurance/repatriation coverage before it will issue a visa.

You must carefully observe all applicable formalities and ensure that the surnames and forenames used for all passengers when making a booking and appearing in your travel documents (booking forms, travel tickets, vouchers, etc.), correspond exactly with those appearing on your passport, visas, etc.

Further information on entry requirements can be obtained from the State Department, by phone (202) 647-5335 or access online atwww.//travel.state.gov/travelor directly from the destination country's website.

Please also contact your personal physician if you have any additional medical concerns prior to your travel.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you hold the correct, valid documents for the countries you are visiting and have obtained the necessary vaccinations, clearance to travel, and hold the necessary confirmations for medications required as we cannot be held liable for any illness, delays, compensation, claims and costs resulting from your failure to meet these requirements.

Applicable law in your jurisdiction may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to you.

  1. Indemnification and Release -Except as otherwise set forth herein, Traveler hereby releases NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC from any and all liability, loss, expense, damages, or claims arising out of or resulting from Traveler’s participation in a Trip, whether caused by the negligent, intentional, or reckless conduct of Traveler, a Service Provider, a provider of Accommodations, another third party, or otherwise.

Force Majeure -NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC shall not be responsible for failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement during any period in which such performance is prevented or delayed due to Force Majeure, nor for changes to or terminations of your trip due to Force Majeure. “Force Majeure” refers to any event beyond NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC’ reasonable control, including but not limited to severe weather, fire, flood, mudslides, earthquakes, war, labor disputes, strikes, epidemics, disease, virus, pandemic, contagious diseases, World Health Organization’s advisories and/or alerts, Center for Disease Control’s advisories and/or alerts, U.S. State Department’s advisories and/or alerts, any order of any local, provincial or federal government authority, interruption of power Services, terrorism or any other causes beyond the control of NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC. NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC reserves the right to cancel any Services described in a Trip Itinerary due to Force Majeure. Very rarely, you may be forced by "force majeure" to change or terminate your Trip after departure but before the scheduled end of your Trip. This is unlikely but if this situation does occur, we regret we will be unable to make any refunds (unless we obtain any refunds from our Suppliers), pay you any compensation, or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result. We strongly recommend that you obtain travel insurance, as described in Section 8, above.

  2. AIR TRANSPORT

    1. General conditions governing air transport

NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC’s responsibilities in respect to air travel are limited by the relevant airline’s conditions of carriage. The airline fulfilling your contract for carriage may change from the airline mentioned in our electronic brochure and advertisements. NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC is not able to specify the type of aircraft to be used by any airline. In addition, NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC is not responsible for losses due to cancelled flights, seats, or changed flight itineraries. Airlines retain the right to adjust flight times and schedules at any time; schedule changes can result in an itinerary that falls outside of contractual agreements. You cannot cancel the contract without penalty due to a change of airline, aircraft type or destination. If an airline cancels or delays a flight, you should work with the airline to ensure you arrive at your destination on or ahead of time. NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC will not provide any refund for Trips missed, in part or full, due to missed, cancelled or delayed flights, or other flight irregularities including, without limitation, denied boarding whether or not you are responsible for such denial.

Direct flights may be “non-stop” or may involve one or more stop-overs (in the latter case this means the same flight by the airline, because the flight number remains the same). The same applies to connecting flights that may be subject to crew changes. When you reserve a scheduled or charter flight involving a stop-over in a town, and the second flight takes off from a different airport to the airport of arrival, ensure that you have sufficient time for reaching the second airport. The journey to the other airport is at your own expense. NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC will not be able to reimburse you for these costs, nor will it be liable if you miss the second flight.

NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC will not bear any liability, particularly in the event of timetable changes, delays, cancellations, etc., attributable to force majeure (labor dispute, strikes, storms, wars, earthquakes, epidemics, etc.) or in the event that, after the specified arrival time at the airport, it is found that the customer is refused boarding for failure to comply with the administrative or health formalities, or failure to check-in.

    1. Problems related to the issuance of e-tickets

As of June 1st, 2008, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has imposed new rules with regard to the issuing of air travel tickets. As of that date, travel agencies and airlines have an obligation to only issue travel tickets via electronic means (i.e. electronic ticket or “e-ticket”).

Due to technical constraints to do with airline’s restrictions in relation to certain requirements (infants under the age of 2, inter-airline agreements, groups, etc.), it may be impossible to issue an electronic ticket. Therefore, though a flight may be shown as available, it might prove impossible for us to honor your reservation. This situation, which is outside our control, will not result in liability on our part.

If we cannot issue you an e-ticket, we will contact you to propose an alternative route solution. This could involve a different tariff and/or additional costs for which you would be responsible. In the event of the absence of an alternative solution, your refusal to pay any tariff difference, or if the issuance of tickets proves impossible, we would be forced to cancel your reservation at no cost to you. We will provide you with a full refund within 30 days after determining that there is no alternative solution possible.

    1. Failure to check-in

Failure to check-in for a flight on the outward journey (on a charter or scheduled flight) will automatically result in cancellation of the return flight by the airline. We would encourage you to contact us on the date of departure if you wish us to keep the return flight open; this decision remains at the discretion of the airline company.

Any interrupted or shortened journey, or any service that you do not take up, will not entitle you to a refund. If you have taken out insurance coverage, and in particular insurance for the interruption of a stay, you must comply with the procedures for cancellation appearing in your insurance contract.

    1. Flight connections

If any booked flight connecting with your outbound or inbound flight is cancelled or delayed, the airlines reserve the right to provide that transport by any other means (coach/bus, train, etc.).

If you organize your own connecting transport with the arrangements booked with NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC, we advise that you reserve flexible or refundable tickets in order to avoid the risk of any financial loss. You are also advised not to make any important appointments for the day following your return date.

NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC cannot accept responsibility for the consequences of delays (such as a cancelled scheduled flight) in the context of connecting transport organized by you.

    1. The return

Whatever the type of flight, scheduled or charter, it is essential that the return be re-confirmed locally with the airline within 72 hours prior to the envisaged date of departure. For package Trips, this formality is generally performed by the local representative or agent. We would draw your attention to the fact that this procedure is compulsory and that, if you fail to do so, your seat cannot be guaranteed by the airline, which has the right to allocate your seat to someone else. In addition, this procedure also gives you the opportunity to confirm the times of your return flight which may have been altered in the meantime. NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC cannot be held liable for any negligence on your part in failing to re-confirm your return flight.

    1. Luggage

NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC assumes no liability for any loss or damage to baggage or personal effects, whether in transit to or from a Trip, or during a Trip. The airline is liable to you for the baggage you entrust to it only for the compensation contemplated in the international conventions and relevant statutes. In the event of damage, late forwarding, theft or loss of luggage, you should contact your airline and declare the damage, absence or loss of your personal effects before leaving the airport, and then submit a declaration, attaching the originals of the following documents: the travel ticket, the baggage check-in slip, and the declaration. It is recommended that you take out an insurance policy covering the value of your items.

Additional and oversized baggage fees: Most airlines have their own policy regarding luggage. We recommend that you check with your airline ahead of time for any weight restrictions and additional charges relating to checked baggage. You will be responsible for paying to the airline any additional charges for checked or overweight baggage, including, but not limited to, golf bags and oversized luggage. If you exceed the weight limit set by your airline, and excess weight is permitted, you must pay a supplement directly to the airline at the airport.

    1. Babies and infants

Babies (up to 2 years of age) do not occupy a seat; the price of the ticket is generally 10% of the official rate. On certain flights children (from 2 to 11 years of age) may be granted a reduction, except on charter flights.

    1. Pregnancy

Different airlines have their own restrictions on when pregnant woman may fly on their plane, which can range from prohibiting flying anywhere from 7 to 30 days by the due date. It is your responsibility to check the restrictions of your particular airline. If you are denied boarding, NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC will not be responsible for any resulting cancellation fees and charges.

Traveler certifies that they are responsible for managing their own medication and medical, physical, or allergic conditions during their Trip. Traveler understands that in the event of injury to Traveler, or exacerbation of Traveler’s medical condition, NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC may not be held responsible. If a serious emergency arises, it may be necessary for a physician to attend to Traveler, but Traveler recognizes that NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC is not obligated to take any action to facilitate or assist that treatment. The quality of medical personnel and facilities vary from region to region and cannot be controlled by NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC. In some parts of the world, substandard medical care is common and unavoidable. Hospital facilities are often unavailable and evacuation can be prolonged, difficult and expensive. NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC is not responsible for the costs of any medical treatment you may require during a Trip and assumes no liability regarding provision of medical care or lack thereof that you may receive while on the Trip. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH, AND COSTS, OF ANY AND ALL MEDICAL TREATMENTS YOU MAY REQUIRE OR RECEIVE DURING YOUR TRIP. Traveler releases NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC from any liability relating to any such medical care, whether secured by a Service provider on behalf of Traveler, NORTHCUTT TRAVEL AGENCY LLC, or otherwise, and agrees to be responsible for any and all expenses incurred for said medical care.
