Please read these Terms carefully as by booking any Product with URBN TRVL, or by traveling on a URBN TRVL experience 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. If you have confirmed a booking on any Products with more than one client named and booked on such booking, you shall be deemed to have accepted these Terms on behalf of all clients named in the booking (including minors and those under a disability) and traveling on or otherwise participating in any Products (hereinafter “you”, the “Client(s)”), and by such travel or participation all passengers indicate their assent to these Terms. The client who confirmed the booking is deemed to be the designated contact person for all other clients named in such booking. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the Client and URBN TRVL with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, representations and understandings of the parties, written or oral.

1.     THE BOOKING CONTRACT

A booking is confirmed and these Terms shall apply when URBN TRVL, or an authorized agent acting on URBN TRVL’s behalf, has received the applicable deposit from the Client and the Client has received written confirmation from URBN TRVL of such booking. The Client confirming the booking must be no less than 21 years of age and agrees to provide full, complete and accurate information as requested by URBN TRVL to confirm such booking. Any Client confirming a booking on any Products with more than one Client named and booked on such booking represents and warrants to URBN TRVL that: i) they have all requisite consents and authority to make such booking on behalf of all other Clients named on the booking, and have communicated all necessary information to the other Clients in order for them to give free and fully informed authorization to do so; ii) the information that they are providing regarding all clients is complete and accurate, and they have obtained all necessary consents and permissions to share such information with URBN TRVL for the purposes of completing the booking; and iii) they will inform all other named Clients on the relevant booking of the applicability of these Terms to the booking and the Clients’ relationship with URBN TRVL.

 

At any time before a booking is confirmed, URBN TRVL reserves the right to increase or decrease brochure prices of any Products. URBN TRVL reserves the right to decline any booking, in their sole discretion.

2.     MEDICAL FORM

All Clients are obligated to review the URBN TRVL Medical Form, as provided by URBN TRVL and/or as available on the applicable URBN TRVL website. If you have difficultly completing the Medical Form or are unsure about how to respond to any of the questions, please have the form reviewed by a competent medical practitioner. URBN TRVL cannot offer advice of a medical nature. If a Client indicates on the Medical Form that they have any pre-existing medical conditions (as defined on the Medical Form), that Client must return a Medical Form, duly signed by a licensed, competent and practicing physician, to URBN TRVL prior to or in conjunction with that Client’s final payment in respect of the applicable booking. The Client acknowledges that they understand that the honest completion of the Medical Form is critical, partially because the destinations visited on URBN TRVL Products may be remote, isolated, and far removed from medical care facilities, or may not have facilities of the standard the Client is accustomed to in their home country. The Client therefore agrees to complete the Medical Form honestly, accurately and represents and warrants to URBN TRVL that they will disclose all medical history and information accurately and fully. URBN TRVL will review the information submitted, and will maintain the information in strict confidence, in accordance with the URBN TRVL Privacy Policy. URBN TRVL reserve the right to request proof or further information or professional medical opinions in certain instances where it is deemed in the best interests of the Client or necessary for the safe operation of the Products. In the event there is a dispute between URBN TRVL and the Client in regard to the Clients’ physical or mental suitability for a trip, the matter will be referred to a medical professional at the Client’s sole expense. URBN TRVL reserves the right to deny any Client permission to travel or participate in a Product where URBN TRVL reasonably, deems necessary with regard to the health and safety of the booking Client, any other Clients traveling with URBN TRVL, or URBN TRVL staff or representatives, and may use information provided in the Medical Form, expert opinions, and other information in formulating such decision. URBN TRVL will provide a written explanation for any such decision upon request from the Client. In the event the Client has made a booking with URBN TRVL and subsequently is unable to complete the required Medical Form for any reason by the deadline indicated above, URBN TRVL reserves the right to treat such Client’s booking as cancelled, and all applicable cancellation fees shall apply.

3.     MEDICAL CONDITIONS AND SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

All Clients should consult their physician regarding their fitness for travel. URBN TRVL encourages all Clients to seek their physician’s advice regarding necessary or advisable vaccinations, medical precautions, or other medical concerns regarding the entirety of the Client’s travel with URBN TRVL. URBN TRVL does not provide medical advice. In addition to the obligation to review, and if applicable, complete the Medical Form described above, Clients must notify URBN TRVL in writing prior to the due date of their final payment for their booking of any medical conditions, pregnancy, disability or any other mental and or physical condition which may impact the Client’s fitness to travel, and/or any continuing medical condition. Full disclosure of such information is a condition of traveling on any Product or in any capacity with URBN TRVL. Certain Products 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. It is the Client’s responsibility to assess the risks and requirements of each Product in light of such Client’s limitations, physical and mental fitness and condition, and any medical requirements or issues of such Client. URBN TRVL may refuse to carry pregnant women over 24 weeks or Clients with certain conditions, if suitable accommodation or alternate Products or services cannot be arranged. Travel, as offered by URBN TRVL, by its nature may involve visiting remote or less developed regions, where medical facilities may not meet the standards of those found in a Client’s home country. The condition of medical facilities in the countries in which URBN TRVL operates varies and URBN TRVL makes no representations and gives no warranties in relation to the standard of such facilities or medical treatment in those regions. URBN TRVL will endeavor to accommodate the special requests of Clients, such as dietary and accommodation requests, but such requests do not form part of these Terms or the contract between Client and URBN TRVL and URBN TRVL is not liable for any failure to accommodate or fulfill such requests.

 

Traveling with Minors: Clients aged 21 at date of first travel are deemed to be adults. On all Products and/or URBN TRVL an adult Client over the age of 21 must accompany every two Minor Clients (defined as Clients between the ages of 18 and 21). The ratio of adult Clients to Minor Clients traveling together must be one adult Client to every two Minor Clients. Unless otherwise indicated in the tour description, or otherwise by URBN TRVL, the minimum age for Clients traveling on tours is 18 years of age. All Minor Client bookings are subject to review and approval by URBN TRVL. URBN TRVL reserves the right to restrict the number of Minor Clients on any given Product where it deems necessary. The adult accompanying a Minor Client must be the Minor Client’s custodial parent or legal guardian.

4.     CURRENCY

Clients are able to book an URBN TRVL Product with 130 different currencies.

When a tour is cancelled by URBN TRVL before the agreed date of departure for reasons not arising from the fault or negligence of or within the reasonable control of the Client, the Client shall have the choice of:

(iii) accept from URBN TRVL a full refund of all monies paid for the cancelled tour Product(s).

 

URBN TRVL is not responsible for any incidental expenses or consequential losses that the Client may have incurred as a result of the cancelled booking such as visas, vaccinations, non-refundable flights or rail, non-refundable car parking or other fees, loss of earnings, or loss of enjoyment, etc. URBN TRVL reserves the right to issue a full refund in lieu of the choices above, in its sole discretion. Where, after departure, a significant element of the Product(s) as described cannot be provided, URBN TRVL will make suitable alternative arrangements for the continuation of the trip Product(s).

2.     UNUSED SERVICE

URBN TRVL shall not offer or pay any discounts or refunds for missed or unused services which were missed or unused by the Client due to no fault of URBN TRVL, which shall include any termination of the Client’s participation in the tour Product due to the Client’s own fault, negligence or breach of these Terms.

3.     PRICES, SURCHARGES, AND TAXES

Due to the nature of travel and the prices of the resources on which it depends, the published price of any Product is subject to change at any time, before or after booking confirmation, up to 30 days before the departure of such Product. After a Confirmation Invoice has been issued by URBN TRVL to the Client, URBN TRVL reserves the right to impose surcharges on any Product(s), but only 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 Product(s), but only where the increase in question is greater than 2% of the original price paid for the Product (excluding add-ons, insurance, and taxes). URBN TRVL shall provide notice to the affected Client as soon as reasonably possible upon learning of the necessity to impose a surcharge in accordance with this section.

 

Where the increase in price is greater than 7% of the price of the applicable Product, upon receiving notification from URBN TRVL the affected Client(s) may elect to either:

 

(i) cancel the applicable Product booking without incurring any penalty; or

 

(ii) accept the change of price.

 

The Client must notify URBN TRVL of their election within 14 days of receipt of notice of the increase, or they shall have been deemed to have accepted the price change and have accepted liability for payment of the increase.

 

Tours are priced and advertised exclusive of applicable sales taxes and such taxes will be advised to Client at the time of booking and itemized on subsequent invoicing.

4.     VALIDITY

The prices of Products advertised on the URBN TRVL website are based on costs in effect at the time of posting to the website. URBN TRVL reserves the right to alter prices of any Product at any time prior to receipt of payment in full for such Product. All dates, itineraries and prices are indicative only and the price quoted at the time of Booking shall be the applicable price, subject to the surcharges that may be levied in accordance with Section 9, above. Changes, revisions, or other amendments may be made to the particulars contained on the URBN TRVL website before a contract is concluded, and such changes, revisions or amendments shall be incorporated herein as of the date of such amendment.

5.     FLEXIBILITY

The Client acknowledges by booking a Product and/or agreeing to travel with URBN TRVL that the nature of this type of travel requires considerable flexibility and acknowledges that they will permit reasonable alterations to the Product and/or itinerary by URBN TRVL. The Client acknowledges their understanding that the route, schedules, itineraries, amenities and mode of transport may be subject to change without prior notice due to circumstances or events, which may include sickness or mechanical breakdown, incidents in the location where the Product will be operated, flight cancellations, strikes, events emanating from political disputes, entry or border difficulties, extreme weather and other unpredictable or unforeseeable circumstances which are beyond the reasonable control of URBN TRVL.

6.     CHANGES

(a) Trip details: The itinerary is a general guide to the tour and region and any mention of specific destinations is not a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered, nor does it form part of the contract between the client and the operator. Although the itinerary has been curated with care and details are provided in good faith, URBN TRVL may make improvements that stem from weather changes, local factors, past travelers’ comments, and research, to name a few examples. As a client, you also expressly acknowledge and assume responsibility for inherent risks associated with physical activities you participate in.

 

(b) Changes made by URBN TRVL: While URBN TRVL will endeavor to operate all Products as advertised, reasonable changes in the itinerary of any Product may be made where deemed necessary or advisable for operational reasons by URBN TRVL, in its sole discretion. If URBN TRVL makes a Material Change (defined as a change affecting at least one in three full tour days of the itinerary, or which materially affects the character of the Product in its entirety) to any Product, URBN TRVL will inform the Client(s) booked on such Product of any Material Change as soon as reasonably possible, provided that there is sufficient time before departure to properly notify all affected Clients. If a Material Change is made more than 14 days prior to departure, the affected Client may elect to:

 

(i) accept the Material Change and proceed with the amended Product;

 

(ii) book another Product of equivalent or greater value, if available (Client shall be responsible for paying any difference in price between the amended Product and the Product booked in its place);

 

(iii) book another Product of a lower value, if available, with a refund payable to the Client of the difference in price; or

 

(iv) cancel and receive a full refund of all monies paid in respect of the land-only portion of the applicable Product (and for clarity, this shall not extend to additional Products booked by the same Client which are not subject to any Material Change).

 

The affected Client must notify URBN TRVL of their decision in writing within 7 days of receiving the notification of alteration, or they shall have been deemed to accept the Material Change and deemed to have agreed to the amended Product itinerary.

 

If any Material Change arises from reasons of Force Majeure, as herein defined, the Client shall be entitled to recover only the costs of the Product recoverable by URBN TRVL.

 

Once a Product experience has departed, changes to such Product’s itinerary may be necessary or advisable as a result of unforeseen circumstances or other reasons related to effective Product operation, health, safety, Client enjoyment, or Client comfort. Any such changes are at the discretion of URBN TRVL and any indirect costs incurred as a result will be the responsibility of the Client. The Client acknowledges that they must have reasonable financial resources to cover incidental expenses on every Product on which they travel, whether or not they arise from a change in the itinerary or from the travel itself, and that URBN TRVL shall not be liable for any Client’s failure to prepare adequately for their travel and unforeseen circumstances which may arise during such travel.

 

URBN TRVL will not be liable for any indirect and or consequential losses associated with any changes to a Product’s itinerary.

 

(c) Changes made by the Client: Client may contact URBN TRVL directly by email, to correct any errors in Client’s personal information recorded on their booking. Client is responsible for ensuring that information provided to URBN TRVL in making their booking is accurate, up-to-date, and correct. A one-time transfer from one Product tour to another may be made 120 days or more prior to departure of the applicable Product for a fee of $199, subject to Product availability and approval by URBN TRVL. If such transfer request is approved by URBN TRVL and the Client has transferred to (i) a more expensive Product tour, Client shall pay the difference in price between the cost of Client's original Product tour and the new Product tour; or (ii) a less expensive Product tour, Client shall not be eligible for a refund of the difference in price between the cost of Client's original Product tour and the new Product tour. Any request to transfer received less than 120 days before departure of the applicable Product will not be accepted and Client must cancel the Product booking in accordance with the cancellation terms herein and create a new booking for any other Products. The Client may only transfer a booking to a departure date 12 months from the original date of purchase. Any changes to the traveling Client’s name on any Product booking are subject to URBN TRVL’s approval and applicable Administrative Fees may apply, which will be payable by the Client.

 

(d) Other Changes: Any changes to a file will depend on availability and will be on a request basis and subject to URBN TRVL’s approval. Any extra costs incurred for making the change will be charged to the Client along with an Administrative Fee. No changes are permitted to any booking within 14 days of departure of the first Product to depart under the applicable booking.

13. AIRFARE

Product tour prices do not include international airfare or any other flights unless expressly mentioned in the inclusions.

 

(a) Quotes: All quotes are in US Dollars, unless otherwise stated. URBN TRVL consultants will quote the best price available at the time of quoting for the travel dates requested. Quotes provide an indicative price only, and represent no price commitment by URBN TRVL.

 

(b) Options: The Client may hold an option on a flight with URBN TRVL through our commissioned consultant. This option guarantees the seat at the quoted price for the same business day. After close of business that day (5pm EST, Monday to Friday) if the option is not confirmed, the option is deemed to have expired and is no longer valid.

 

(c) Price changes: Until tickets are issued, URBN TRVL consultants reserve the right to change prices in the event of any price increase for any reason including, but not limited to, airfares wrongfully quoted due to system error, the price of fuel and/or currency fluctuations or government taxes or levies, or any other cause whatsoever.

 

(d) Full payment: Full payment must be paid before the option period described in (b), above, expires to guarantee the reservation at quoted price and secure applicable tickets. By making full payment, the Client agrees that they accept the air travel arrangements as requested at the total price quoted. Cancellation fees will apply if the Client subsequently decides to cancel after any ticket has been issued.

 

(e) Changes & cancellations: Unless otherwise stated, airline tickets are 100% non-changeable & non-refundable once tickets have been issued. Changes made prior to ticket issuance may be applied at the URBN TRVL consultants’ sole discretion, and will also be subject to administrative fees, as applicable, to be payable by the Client.

 

(f) Flight reconfirmation: Client is responsible for confirming flight times, numbers, and details at all times to ensure a timely departure.

URBN TRVL will not reimburse for any additional expenses incurred by the Client as a result of such events or delays. URBN TRVL will not refund any unused portion of air tickets purchased in the event of such delays or due to any reasons beyond its direct control.

14. ACCEPTANCE OF RISK

The Client acknowledges that the nature of Product tours may involve a significant amount of risk to Clients’ health and/or safety. The Client hereby assumes all such risk and does hereby release URBN TRVL from all claims and causes of action arising from any damages or injuries or death resulting from these risks inherent in travel, visiting foreign destinations, and participating in adventurous activities such as those included in Product itineraries.

 

Accommodation, transportation, activities and excursions, and other components of URBN TRVL Products will be arranged by URBN TRVL with suppliers local to the region where the Product operates, who may themselves engage the services of local operators and/or sub-contractors. Standards of hygiene, accommodation and transport in some countries where Product tours take place are often lower than comparable standards than what the Client may reasonably expect in their home country or region. URBN TRVL at all times endeavors to appoint reputable and competent local suppliers and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations concerning health and safety in the regions where Product tours operate. The terms and conditions of all suppliers of Product components will be applicable to the Product component provided by such supplier and are expressly incorporated into these Terms. These may limit or exclude liability of the supplier. The liability of URBN TRVL will not exceed that of any supplier of any Product component. The components that make up each Product tour shall be regarded as having been satisfactorily performed and delivered solely in reference to the regulations and laws concerning health and safety in the applicable jurisdiction where such component is operated.

15. AUTHORITY ON TOUR & CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY

By traveling with URBN TRVL, the Client agrees to abide by the authority of URBN TRVL or designated representative. The Client must at all times strictly comply with all applicable laws and regulations of all countries and regions visited on the applicable Product tour. If the Client is affected by any condition, medical or otherwise, that might affect Client’s ability to travel or participate in adventure travel activities, Client’s enjoyment of the Product tour being booked, the ability to travel or enjoyment of any other Clients on the Product tour, or the treatment to be administered to the Client in any emergency situation, the Client must advise URBN TRVL at the time of booking and complete a medical form provided by URBN TRVL, along with any other documents reasonably requested by URBN TRVL to ensure the health and safety of all Clients who travel with URBN TRVL.

 

Should the Client fail to comply with the above or commit any illegal act when on the Product tour or, if in the opinion of URBN TRVL (in his/her and/or URBN TRVL’s sole discretion), the Client’s behavior is causing or is likely to cause danger, distress or material annoyance to others, URBN TRVL may terminate that Client’s travel arrangements on any Product immediately without any liability on URBN TRVL part and the Client will not be entitled to any refund for unused or missed services or costs incurred resulting from the termination of the travel arrangements, including, without limitation, return travel, accommodations, meals, and/or incidentals.

 

Clients agree that they are responsible for any costs incurred by URBN TRVL, URBN TRVL’s suppliers or URBN TRVL’s partners, as a result of damage, destruction, theft, or excess cleaning fees related to Client’s accommodation, transport, or other use of facilities while on the Product tour. Clients agree to immediately report any pre-existing damage of this kind to staff of the accommodation, transportation service, or facility (as appropriate) and/or a URBN TRVL’s representative as soon as possible upon discovery by the Client.
