Unexpected Price Increases
Tour prices are based on tariffs and supplier costs valid at the time of publication. We reserve the right to adjust tour costs in response to rate fluctuations or external changes. Any increase exceeding 10% of the original quoted price will be considered a substantial change, entitling you to cancellation rights under Section 2(b). Refunds will be at our sole discretion.

We reserve the right, without penalty, to modify a tour itinerary if necessary for safety, comfort, or logistical reasons.

​

2. CANCELLATION POLICY AND REFUNDS

a. Cancellation by Participant
All cancellations must be submitted in writing.

• Within 60 days of booking: Your deposit may be refunded upon written request.

• After 60 days from booking: All payments made are non-refundable. No additional payments will be required.

• Exception – Bookings made within 90 days of departure:
  If you book a tour within 90 days of its departure date, all payments made are immediately non-refundable, regardless of when you cancel.

b. Cancellation by Travel Vendor
We reserve the right to cancel, shorten, or modify a tour due to:

• Minimum enrollment not met

• Safety, health, or operational concerns

• Force majeure or travel restrictions

In such cases, all funds paid will be refunded or applied to a future tour (less any non-refundable deposits and third-party fees). We are not liable for personal travel costs (e.g., airfare or hotel bookings) outside the tour package.

c. Other Circumstances
No refunds are given for late arrivals, early departures, or unused portions of the tour. “No-shows” are considered canceled without notice.

​

3. MEDICAL EMERGENCIES

In a medical emergency, if you are unable to make decisions for yourself, you authorize The Global Intent or its vendors to provide or arrange emergency care on your behalf. You are responsible for ensuring you have medical insurance to cover such events and agree to pay for any costs not covered by insurance.

​

4. FORCE MAJEURE

Events beyond our control (e.g., war, terrorism, pandemic, natural disaster, civil unrest, weather, or government orders) may necessitate cancellation or alteration of the tour. Refunds, if issued, will be net of non-refundable payments already made to suppliers.

​

5. INSURANCE

We highly recommend obtaining travel insurance that covers:

• Emergency evacuation

• Major medical expenses

• Trip cancellation/interruption

• Loss of personal items

• Accidental death & disability

​

ASSUMPTION OF RISK; WAIVER OF LIABILITY

You acknowledge that international travel involves risk, including possible health or safety hazards, accidents, illness, infectious disease exposure (e.g., COVID-19), and limited access to medical services. By reserving a tour, you voluntarily assume these risks and release The Global Intent and its affiliated entities from liability for any harm or loss experienced.
