Prices do not include items of a personal nature, such as laundry, wines, room service (other than where clearly specified), passport and visa fees, insurance, and foreign port taxes unless specifically indicated in the package inclusions. Prices are correct at the time of publication; however, as airfares continually fluctuate and classes of service may have limited capacity, tour package prices and availability will change accordingly. In case of human or computer error, Discover ME Travel reserves the right to re-invoice for the correct price or service. A full refund will be made to passengers who choose not to pay an increase, provided Discover ME Travel receives a written cancellation within five days of the price increase notification.

COVID-19 WAIVER OF LIABILITY

In Spring 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) a worldwide pandemic. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued several preventative measures to combat the virus, such as frequent hand washing, wearing a mask or face covering, and keeping at least 6 feet away from others. If contracted, this virus has the ability to cause the traveler serious and severe illness. For more information on the COVID-19 virus, please visit the CDC webpage at www.cdc.gov.

I understand and agree to the following:

COVID-19 is a highly contagious virus that can be spread via person-to-person contact;
After reasonable inquiry, Discover ME Travel provided me with the best available information regarding the pandemic- protective policies and practices of the vendors and suppliers in my travel itinerary.
Supplier(s) of Discover ME Travel may have policies in place to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Discover ME Travel is not the drafter or holder of those policies, and I understand that these policies can change at any time;
I understand that the supplier(s) may not apply those policies as diligently as the policies suggest, and even if the supplier makes a good faith effort to enforce its good practices, some travelers may simply refuse to cooperate;
I understand that each country institutes its own pandemic-protective policies and regulations. I further understand that I am responsible for knowing, understanding, and abiding by the pandemic-protective policies and procedures regarding COVID-19 of all country(ies) listed in my travel itinerary, including any policy updates. I also understand that I may be denied entry into the country for reasons within or outside of my control;
I understand that by traveling, I can be subject to voluntary or involuntary quarantine either at home or in the traveled location(s);
I am responsible for knowing, understanding, and abiding by the pandemic-protective policies and procedures regarding COVID-19 of all vendors used in my travel itinerary, including any policy updates;
With full awareness and appreciation of the risks involved, I, for myself, and on behalf of my traveling companions, including, but not limited to, my family, spouse, estate, heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, and personal representatives, assume all risks of travel and hereby forever hold harmless, waive, discharge, and release Discover ME Travel its officers, agents, independent contractors, affiliates, employees, successors, and assigns (collectively the “Released Parties”) from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, and causes of action, directly or indirectly arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury, including death, that may be sustained by me related to COVID-19 whether caused by the negligence of the Released Parties or any third-party vendor or supplier partnering Discover ME Travel.
I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all costs, expenses, damages, claims, lawsuits, judgments, losses, and/or liabilities (including attorney fees) arising either directly or indirectly from or related to any and all claims made by or against any of the Released Parties due to bodily injury or harm, death, loss of use, monetary loss, or any other injury from or related to my use of Discover ME Travel services, or the services Discover ME Travel suppliers or vendors, specifically related to COVID-19.

FORCE MAJEURE
There may be times when either party is unable to perform, or complete performance, under the travel contract for reasons out of each other’s control. These are called force majeure events and, if they occur, make performing under the contract inadvisable, commercially impracticable, illegal, or impossible. Events that may trigger this provision include but are not limited to, acts of God, acts of government, acts of war or civil unrest, insurrection or revolts, military action, strikes or other labor activities, criminal or terrorist activities of any kind, or the threat thereof, pandemics, epidemics, illnesses or health conditions prevalent in the area of travel, earthquakes, hurricanes, lightning, and explosions, unexpected legislation, or any other event outside the reasonable control of either party.

In the event that a force majeure event occurs, the parties will look to and follow the cancellation policies of the suppliers, what is stated in the travel proposal, and these terms & conditions. Any changes to those policies are at the sole discretion of the supplier (if applicable) and Travel Agency. Passengers will be informed of their options if a force majeure event occurs.

TRAVELERS WITH DISABILITIES

In order to fully enjoy your Discover ME Travel tour, we recommend that you select a trip that is suitable to your physical capabilities. Tour participants requiring any form of assistance, including travelers with physical disabilities and sight or hearing impairments, are required to notify Discover ME Travel prior to reservation for review and our agreement. Additionally, the tour participant must be accompanied by an individual responsible for providing those services. Tour managers, guides, drivers, or other tour, and hotel personnel are not able to provide such assistance. In order to participate in escorted tours, passengers must be able to understand and follow instructions given by the Tour Director at all times, both for the successful operation of the tour as well as for their personal safety. Discover ME Travel reserves the right to reject participation or remove any individual from a tour if notification was not provided and/or when, in our sole judgment, continued participation would significantly hinder the services to be provided to all guests. Expenses, including cancellation fees and/or costs for alternate travel plans or to return home, will be the passenger’s sole responsibility. Escorted tours are fast-paced, often requiring lengthy walks over uneven terrain. In the interests of group harmony, clients should be able to maintain the pace of the tour. Clients with special needs may be better served independently. Discover ME Travel can suggest touring options based on specific requirements.

Wheelchairs & Walkers:

Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate individuals with disabilities that use Wheelchairs and Walkers because Hotels, sea, and river cruises outside of the United States are not required to comply with ADA requirements and, therefore, may not have ramps, wide entryways, or elevators to accommodate disabled passengers or devices such as wheelchairs, walkers, and motorized scooters. Due to physical constraints and space limitations, wheelchairs, walkers, and motorized scooters may not be taken aboard motor coaches and river cruises.

International Tours:

Hotels, sea, and river cruises outside of the United States are not required to comply with ADA requirements and, therefore, may not have ramps, wide entryways, or elevators to accommodate disabled passengers or devices such as wheelchairs, walkers, and motorized scooters. Due to physical constraints and space limitations, wheelchairs, walkers, and motorized scooters may not be taken aboard motor coaches and river cruises.
Service Animals: Service animals cannot be accommodated on international escorted tours.

AIRLINES:

Discover ME Travel is not responsible for the services and policies imposed by the airlines. Airline schedules and flights are subject to change without notice. Discover ME Travel is not responsible for penalties incurred for international tickets not issued through Discover ME Travel due to missing of flight or a personal change of choice flight. We recommend each person show up at the Airport a minimum of 3 hours before flight departure. Any replacement air arrangements and airfare will be the sole responsibility of the passenger.

Airline Tickets:

Discover ME Travel airline tickets will be issued electronically approximately 30 days prior to departure and are fully non-refundable.

Airline Seat Assignments:

The airlines bear the sole authority of assigning seats on group flights. All Discover ME Travel airline contracts are for economy-class seats only. If you require another class of service, you may consider purchasing your own flights and purchasing your land-only package from Discover ME Travel.

Airline Frequent Flier Programs:

Passengers are responsible for contacting their airline directly regarding mileage eligibility and accrual. Airline frequent flier programs determine whether to award miles in part or total based on their own rules, which are updated frequently. Some discounted or promotional airfares, as well as some code-share flights, are not eligible for mileage accrual. Some private airfares, such as a “Discover ME Travel Airfare,” are not eligible for 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 airfare. Not all published airfares are eligible for mileage. Discover ME Travel will record frequent flier numbers when provided by the passenger 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 that were initially eligible for mileage accrual no longer being eligible. We highly recommend passengers provide their frequent flier account information whenever checking in online and/or at the airport check-in desk. After travel has commenced, it is often not possible to apply for frequent mileage credit. Passengers are also responsible for determining whether previously earned mileage may be applied to flights to secure upgrades.

Contact Information:

Pursuant to TSA Secure Flight requirements, passengers are responsible to provide Discover ME Travel with their name as it appears on their passport (or other government-issued I.D. when traveling), date of birth, gender, address, phone number, email, and fax data for all passengers.
Passengers must ensure that names are correctly listed on their invoices. Discover ME Travel will not be responsible for passengers who do not receive an invoice or documents or are denied boarding due to inaccurate information.

Airline Name Changes:

Any name change, including minor spelling corrections, may require airline reservations to be canceled and rebooked. Reservations are subject to current availability and pricing at the time of rebooking. Once airline tickets are issued, subsequent name corrections will be subject to an airline rebooking fee which may be as much as the full value of the airline ticket plus a $250 revision fee per change. Discover ME Travel will not be held responsible for the denial of services by a carrier due to any name discrepancy. Name changes must be advised in writing at customerservice@discovermetravels.com.

Airline Taxes & Fuel Surcharges:

If you purchased airfare, airline taxes, and fuel surcharges are included. After submitting your booking inquiry, there is a potential for a price increase(s) due to increases in government-levied taxes and fees and/or fuel surcharges. To avoid potential increases, you may choose to book your trip as early as possible in order that your tickets may be issued at the originally listed price. Once issued, airline tickets are no longer subject to potential increases but are fully non-refundable. Certain overseas domestic flights are subject to air taxes which can only be paid locally; in these cases, the specific flights and amounts of those taxes are indicated in our package presentation and pre-departure documentation.

Schedule Changes:

In the event of an airline schedule change Discover ME Travel will make every effort to inform passengers of the schedule change and new flight schedule prior to departure. Discover ME Travel is not responsible for schedule changes, including, when applicable, changes in routing and/or the number of stops in the itinerary. Discover ME Travel is unable to provide compensation for schedule changes, seat assignment modifications, or cancellations implemented by an airline. In the event of any change in flight itinerary made directly between passengers and their airline, it is the passengers’ responsibility to advise Discover ME Travel of amended flight details in writing at customerservice@discovermetravels.com. Discover ME Travel cannot be held responsible for land services, including arrival and/or departure transfers if flights are changed without its knowledge.

Hotel Accommodations:

All rooms requested are standard twin-bedded (two single beds) rooms with private facilities unless you have specifically requested a king/ double size bed. Please understand although we will make a bed type request on your behalf, bed types are subject to availability. Room selection in all cases is strictly at the discretion of the hotel’s management on a run-of-house basis. Some single rooms are smaller than a standard room size. The number of persons accommodated does not dictate the room size.
Although available at most 4 and 5-star hotels, the use of air-conditioning abroad differs greatly from the United States. Air-conditioning is often shut down at night and from the end until the start of the summer months. All hotel rates are not negotiable and based on Discover ME Travel’s agreements with its suppliers. Hotel check-in time is generally not before 3:00 p.m., and
check-out time is before noon. Please be sure that adequate arrangements for accommodations have been taken into consideration when a late-night flight is being used. We reserve the right to make substitutions with hotels of equal standard. There will be no refunds for any difference in the cost of those accommodations.

Hotel Profiles:

Discover ME Travel hotel profiles are based upon information provided to Discover ME Travel
by hotel and tour partners and their representatives, including images and descriptions of individual properties. Star ratings may differ from country to country. Discover ME Travel does its best to maintain current information; however, it is not responsible for any inaccuracies, changes in description details or amenities, or images provided by third parties.

Meals:

As specified in each itinerary. Meals are based on the hotel’s or restaurant’s buffet or set menu. In general, beverages are not included unless specifically stated. Although Discover ME Travel cannot make guarantees, every effort will be made to honor special dietary requests submitted in writing at least 4 weeks prior to departure at customerservice@discovermetravels.com.

Transfers:

Transfers are provided as indicated for each tour by car, minibus, or motor coach, provided airfare is purchased from Discover ME Travel and there is no deviation on the scheduled arrival time to the tour destination Airport. If you deviate from the arrival and/or departure dates as stated in the itinerary, you will have the responsibility to purchase your own transfer to the hotel and return to the Airport if departing from hotel later than scheduled on the day of return to U.S. Your arrival transfer is guaranteed for up to two hours from your scheduled arrival time in order to compensate for minor delays. Discover ME Travel or the transfer company will not be responsible for flight delays, for any reason, beyond two hours from your originally scheduled arrival time. In case of a delay, whether due to flight delay, immigration, and customs, or time spent reporting baggage damage or loss, it will be your responsibility to make other transfer arrangements, such as a taxi. Transfer costs are not refundable, and any additional expenses will be your responsibility. The cost of a transfer is more expensive than hiring a taxi, as a Discover ME Travel transfer necessarily includes round trip service, or ‘dead-leg,’ meaning that our driver must come to the airport or hotel, only to pick you up and necessarily loses a
one-way fare. Often the places of call (airports, and hotels) demand entrance and parking fees, where drivers may have to wait for up to an hour. Discover ME Travel transfer drivers, while not employees of Discover ME Travel, are reliable. They provide you with a full welcome service, transfer you to the correct location, and are prepared to answer your questions along your ride.

Sightseeing & Itinerary:

Will be operated by motor vehicle, its size dictated by the number of participants. Discover ME Travel tours has been designed to accommodate individuals as well as groups. Times listed in itineraries are approximate and meant only as guidelines. Some itineraries may have an early morning start time for sightseeing in order to complete the touring during daylight hours or avoid afternoon heat in tropical and desert climates. You are responsible for arriving on time for all scheduled flights, and package components. Arriving late may be considered a “no-show,” in which case you will not be eligible for a refund for the unused service(s). We cannot guarantee the number of passengers who will be on any given tour. You may find that you are traveling with a sizeable group or only with your own companions. Services, however, will remain constant no matter the number of tour participants. Persons requiring any assistance or who have any form of disability should refer to the section “Travelers With Disabilities.” On dates including, but not

limited to, religious holidays and national celebrations, some monuments and sites may be closed. On these occasions, touring itineraries may be amended to reflect these closures. Occasionally, during holidays and certain periods, and/or due to unforeseen circumstances, including weather conditions, there may be last-minute changes, sometimes after arrival, affecting the sequence of the tour, locations visited, and/or hotels. Therefore, we reserve the right to adjust the sequence and/or substitute any hotels with others of a similar category. In such cases, there will be no cost adjustment. National monuments and tourist sites regularly undergo renovations, which can obscure the monument’s view. No tour will be canceled due to renovations; however, Discover ME Travel will decide, based on the conditions, whether to amend an itinerary. Discover ME Travel itineraries may contain suggestions for activities for your leisure time; these suggestions do not constitute an endorsement of any specific service provider, and the decision to participate in any such activities should be made independently and with due consideration.

Group Harmony:

To ensure the desired group synergy, Discover ME Travel reserves the right to accept, reject or expel any individual who is deemed disruptive or incompatible with the interests of the group, including, but not limited to, individuals who are intoxicated and/or under the influence of drugs leading to a negative experience for the remainder of the group. Expenses, including cancellation fees and/or costs for alternate travel plans or to return home, will necessarily be borne by the passenger. All unused services are non-refundable.

Health Requirements:

Check with your healthcare provider for up-to-date requirements. You may also check the Centers for Disease Control (www.cdc.gov) and/or the World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/en/) for their recommendations. Required inoculations, if any, must be recorded by the client’s health practitioner on a valid vaccination certificate which the client must carry for proof of inoculation where required. Individuals with heart disease, chronic illness, physical handicap, advanced pregnancy, or mental illness should not participate in these rigorous travel programs. Any person arriving at the destination ill with an apparent fever or becoming ill during the tour will be removed from the group and directed to a local medical facility for diagnosis. Only upon clearance by an accredited medical facility will that individual be allowed to resume group travel. All costs associated with medical treatment and related expenses, such as additional hotel nights or transportation not included in the original itinerary, will necessarily be borne by the passenger.

Luggage (Airlines):

Checked bags are typically limited to a total dimension of 62 inches by adding length + width + height (example: 26″+26″+10″ = 62”) and a maximum weight of 50 lbs (23kg). Many airlines apply charges for checked bags. Discover ME Travel is not responsible for checked bag fees, excess luggage, or weight charges levied by an airline. If the airlines lose or damage your luggage, a baggage claim form MUST be filed with the carrier before leaving the airport by the client. We recommend using brightly colored luggage tags, straps, or other identifiers to help you locate your luggage upon arrival or to describe it if it is lost.

Luggage (Escorted Tours):

All Discover ME Travel escorted tour buses allow one piece of luggage per person, plus a carry-on bag. Additional baggage will be subject to a handling charge of $100 per piece. As Discover ME Travel will not be responsible for loss or damage to luggage and personal belongings, you MUST report any loss or damage immediately at the time of the incident and obtain a written report from the local authority for submission to your insurance provider.

Tipping:

Complete tipping guidelines are as follows:
Drivers, including private cars and motorcoach drivers: $5-$10 per person per day
Tour Guides: $10-$20 per person per day

PASSENGER AGREEMENT:
