BOOKING TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Thank you for booking and/or traveling with Parlour Media, LLC, a limited-liability company existing under the laws of the State of New York (“PARLOUR”). These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) apply to any travel products and/or services (the “Services”) you have booked with or purchased from PARLOUR, and govern the contractual relationship between you (the “Client”) and PARLOUR with respect to any such Services.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. BY BOOKING ANY SERVICES WITH PARLOUR, OR BY TRAVELING ON A PARLOUR-ORGANIZED TRIP, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU: (i) HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE TERMS, AND (ii) INDICATE YOUR EXPRESS ACCEPTANCE OF AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.

1. THE BOOKING AGREEMENT

Your booking is confirmed and a contract exists when PARLOUR, or an authorized agent acting on PARLOUR’s behalf, has received the applicable deposit from the Client and has issued written confirmation upon receipt. Please check your confirmation carefully and report any incorrect or incomplete information to PARLOUR or its authorized agent immediately. Please ensure that names are exactly as stated in the relevant passport.

2. BOOKING ON BEHALF OF OTHERS

By booking on behalf of other travelers, you are deemed to be the designated contact person, the Client, for every traveler included on that booking. By booking on behalf of another traveler or travelers, you represent and warrant that you have obtained all required consents. You are responsible for verifying that any information you provide on behalf of another participant is complete and accurate and PARLOUR will under no circumstances be liable for any errors or omissions in the information provided to complete a booking.

3. MEDICAL CONDITIONS

3.1 You are responsible for assessing whether traveling with PARLOUR is suitable for you. PARLOUR encourages all Clients to consult their physician to confirm their fitness for travel and participation in any planned activities. This includes soliciting a physician’s advice regarding necessary or advisable vaccinations, medical precautions, or other medical concerns regarding the Client’s travel with PARLOUR. PARLOUR does not provide medical advice. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to assess the risks and requirements of each aspect of travel based on your own unique circumstances, limitations, fitness level and medical requirements.

3.2 Pregnancy is considered a medical condition and must be disclosed to PARLOUR at the time of booking. PARLOUR may refuse to carry pregnant women over 24 weeks. PARLOUR may also refuse to carry anyone with certain medical conditions if reasonable accommodation or alternatives cannot be arranged.

3.3 Travel with PARLOUR may involve visiting remote or developing regions, where medical care may not be easily accessible and medical facilities may not meet the standards of those found in your home country. The condition of medical facilities in the countries you may visit with PARLOUR varies and PARLOUR makes no representations and gives no warranties in relation to the availability or standard of medical facilities in those regions.

4. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

4.1 Any special requirements must be disclosed to PARLOUR at the time of booking. Certain Services may not be suitable for all people due to restrictions posed by limitations in mobility, physical or cognitive disability, pregnancy or various other physical or mental conditions.

4.2 PARLOUR will make reasonable efforts to accommodate special requirements or requests but this is not always possible given the nature of the destinations visited and availability of options. While you may make special dietary and accommodation requests, such requests do not form part of these Terms or the contract between Client and PARLOUR and PARLOUR is not liable for any failure to accommodate or fulfill such requests.

5. CURRENCY, PRICES, AND SURCHARGES

5.1 Payment for all Services shall be made in United States Dollars.

5.2 The published price of the trip and any Services offered by PARLOUR is subject to change at any time, before or after booking confirmation, up to 30 days before departure. Trips are priced and advertised inclusive of applicable sales taxes.

5.3 After a confirmation has been issued, PARLOUR reserves the right to impose surcharges on any products or services booked for reasons arising from increases in transportation costs, fuel costs, dues, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airport charges, local operator costs, currency and exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes, or government action which impacts the price of the applicable Services; provided however, PARLOUR will only do so where the increase in question is greater than 2% of the original price paid for the products or services. Upon learning of the necessity to impose a surcharge in accordance with this section PARLOUR will provide notice to you as soon as reasonably possible.

Where the increase in price is greater than 7% of the price of the applicable Service, upon receiving notification from PARLOUR you may elect to either:

(a) cancel the applicable trip/Services booking without incurring any penalty; or

(b) accept the change of price

You must notify PARLOUR of your election within 14 days of receipt of notice of the increase, or you will have been deemed to have accepted the price change and any associated liability for payment of the increase.

5.2 From time to time, PARLOUR may offer reduced pricing on certain Services. Reduced pricing applies only to new bookings. Bookings where payment of at least a deposit has been received are not entitled to reduced pricing.

5.3 All deposits are absolutely non-refundable after 24 hours for Single Occupancy bookings, and 48 hours for incomplete Double Occupancy Bookings.

6. DETAILS REQUIRED FOR BOOKING

As a condition of booking, you must provide the information requested by PARLOUR along with final payment. If you fail to provide all required information prior to the date on which full payment is due, an administrative fee will be charged for any costs incurred by PARLOUR as a result of your failure to provide the required information. In the event that you fail to supply required information, PARLOUR reserves the right to treat your booking (or the relevant component of your booking) as cancelled and levy any cancellation fees deemed reasonable PARLOUR, in its sole discretion. The information required by PARLOUR will vary by trip and will be communicated to you during the booking process. PARLOUR 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.

7. FINAL PAYMENT AND CHARGES

7.1 The confirmation sent by PARLOUR or its authorized agent will contain details of final payment required for any booking including amount, due date, and departure instructions. If full payment is not received by the applicable due date, PARLOUR may, at its sole discretion, change the rate payable for the booking, or treat the booking as cancelled and retain the deposit paid on booking as a cancellation fee. If a booking is made less than 60 days before the departure date, then the full amount must be paid at the time of booking. If, for any Service booked, payment terms differ from those outlined in this section, the applicable terms will be communicated to you prior to booking.

9. CANCELLATION OF TRAVEL/SERVICES BY PARLOUR

9.1 If a trip or any Services are cancelled by PARLOUR before the date of departure for reasons other than Force Majeure (as herein defined in Section 24) and the cancellation is not caused by your fault or negligence, you will have the choice of accepting from PARLOUR:

(a) a substitute trip or Service of equivalent or superior value, where such substitute is reasonably available; or

(b) a substitute trip or Service of lesser value if no trip or Service of equivalent or superior value is reasonably available, and to recover from PARLOUR the difference in price between the price of the trip/Service originally purchased and the substitute trip/Service; or

9.2 PARLOUR reserves the right to issue a full refund in lieu of the choices above, in its sole discretion. Where a significant element of a trip as described cannot be provided after departure, PARLOUR will make suitable alternative arrangements where possible. If it is not possible to provide a suitable alternative or if you reasonably reject any suitable alternatives, PARLOUR may provide you with a refund for unused Services as determined in its sole discretion.
