The information required by AHI Travel will vary by tour and will be communicated to you during the booking process. In the event that you fail to supply information required by AHI Travel or final payment by the final payment due date, AHI Travel reserves the right to treat your booking (or the relevant component of your booking) as canceled and levy any cancellation fees. In the event of any failure to timely pay fees, including without limitation cancellation fees, due and owing to AHI Travel, you agree to pay any and all collection costs, including reasonable attorneys fees. AHI Travel is not responsible for any fees you incur as a result of errors, omissions, inaccuracies, late, misplaced or otherwise incomplete information you have provided.



NOT INCLUDED-The following are not included in the program prices or fees quoted by AHI Travel: Fees for passports and, if applicable, visas; entry/departure fees; personal gratuities; laundry and dry cleaning; excursions, wines, liquors, mineral waters and meals not mentioned in the itinerary; travel, emergency medical, evacuation and repatriation insurance; airport transfer costs for those not participating in AHI Travel's FlexAir; all items of a strictly personal nature.



MEDICAL, MOBILITY AND FITNESS TO TRAVEL-AHI Travel expressly retains the right to decline, to not accept or to not retain any person as a member of this trip who, in the opinion of AHI Travel, is unfit for travel or whose physical or mental condition may constitute a danger to themselves or to others on the trip. You must provide to AHI Travel in writing prior to your trip a written description of any pre-existing medical conditions which may impact your ability to travel, participate in a tour, travel to remote areas without access to medical facilities or may adversely affect the experience of others on your tour, and AHI Travel shall have no liability in respect thereof. You may be required to complete a medical form to advise AHI Travel of certain medical conditions, mobility issues or medications during the pre-booking process. Passengers requiring special assistance, including without limitation those who permanently or periodically use a wheelchair, must be accompanied by someone who is fit and able to assist them, and who will be totally responsible for providing all required assistance. AHI Travel regrets that some itineraries cannot accommodate wheelchairs.

You are responsible for assessing whether a tour is suitable for you. You should consult your physician to confirm your fitness for travel and participation in any planned activities. You should seek your physician´s advice on vaccinations and medical precautions. AHI Travel does not provide medical advice. It is your responsibility to assess the risks and requirements of each aspect of the tour based on your own unique circumstances, limitations, fitness level and medical requirements, and AHI Travel shall have no liability in respect thereof.

Travel with AHI Travel 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 on your

tour varies and AHI Travel makes no representations and gives no warranties in relation to the availability or standard of medical facilities in those regions, and AHI Travel shall have no liability in respect thereof.

CONDUCT ON TOUR AND AUTHORITY OF TRAVEL DIRECTORS-You agree that your ability to participate in the tour, and your physical or mental condition and fitness for travel, may be determined by the Travel Director.

This includes, but is not limited to, using abusive, threatening, or offensive language towards others, harassment, possession of illegal substances/items, or any other illegal or offensive conduct.



SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS-Any special requirements must be disclosed in writing to AHI Travel at the time of booking. AHI Travel will use 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 outside of a planned itinerary.

All food allergies and dietary restrictions must be disclosed to AHI Travel at the time of booking but AHI Travel cannot guarantee that dietary needs or restrictions can be accommodated.

You must have a passport that is valid 6 months after the last date of travel with AHI Travel as set out on your itinerary.

i) transfer to another date of the same tour, if available; ii) book another tour of equal or greater value, if available (you will be responsible for paying any difference in price); or iii) book another tour of lesser value, if available (with a refund payable to you for the difference in price); or iv) receive a full refund for the land-only portion of the applicable tour

CANCELLATION GRACE PERIOD-Reservations made prior to 120 days before a tour´s scheduled departure date may be canceled within 7 days following the reservation date for a full refund. Reservations made within 120 days prior to a tour´s scheduled departure will not qualify for the grace period.

Air transportation purchases are subject only to penalties assessed by the airlines.

VOUCHERS & TRAVEL CREDITS-Vouchers for future travel, travel credits and transfers are subject to these Terms & Conditions, including without limitation the cancellation fee schedule, agreed upon at the time of the new reservation.

FLEXIBILITY & UNUSED SERVICES-You acknowledge that the nature of travel requires flexibility and that you agree to reasonable alterations to products, services or itineraries by AHI Travel. The route, schedules, accommodations, activities, amenities and mode of transportation are subject to change without notice due to unforeseeable circumstances or events outside the control of AHI Travel (including but not limited to Force Majeure, illness, mechanical breakdown, flight cancellations, strikes, political events and entry or border difficulties). No reimbursements, discounts or refunds will be issued for services that are missed or unused after departure due to no fault of AHI Travel, including your removal from a tour because of your negligence or breach of these Terms & Conditions.

CHANGES-While material revisions of the itinerary or its included features are not anticipated, AHI Travel may modify your itinerary where reasonably required in its sole discretion.

Once a tour has departed, itinerary changes may be necessary as a result of unforeseen circumstances, operational concerns, or concerns for your health, safety, enjoyment or comfort. Any changes are at the discretion of AHI Travel. AHI Travel will not be liable for any indirect and/or consequential losses associated with any changes to a booking or itinerary. You are responsible for ensuring that information provided to AHI Travel is accurate and up to date. Any changes to your name on any booking are subject to AHI Travel´s approval.

Third Party Suppliers may also engage the services of local operators and sub-contractors. Although AHI Travel takes all reasonable care in selecting Third Party Suppliers, AHI Travel is unable to control Third Party Suppliers, does not supervise Third Party Suppliers and therefore cannot be responsible for their acts or omissions. Any services provided by Third Party Suppliers are subject to the terms and conditions imposed by these Third Party Suppliers and their liability is limited by their tariffs, conditions of carriage, tickets and vouchers and international conventions and agreements that govern the provision of their services. These may limit or exclude liability of the Third Party Supplier. You acknowledge that Third Party Suppliers operate in compliance with the applicable laws of the countries in which they operate and AHI Travel does not warrant that any Third Party Supplier is in compliance with the laws of your country of residence or any other jurisdiction. AHI Travel is not liable and will not assume responsibility for any claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses arising out of inconvenience, loss of enjoyment, upset, disappointment, distress or frustration, whether physical or mental, or any other matter resulting from the act or omission of any party other than AHI Travel and its employees.

PRIVACY-AHI Travel must collect your personal information to deliver the tour and any products or services booked. AHI Travel collects, uses and discloses only that information reasonably required to enable AHI Travel and its Third Party Suppliers to provide the particular tour, products and/or services that you have requested.
