All passengers listed on the reservation shall be bound by these Terms and Conditions regardless of whether each individual separately signs or acknowledges them.

This agreement is binding upon you and your family members, heirs, estate, personal representatives, legal representatives, successors and assigns, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

NATURE OF GROUP TRAVEL

The Company provides escorted group tours and cruises. Group travel is a shared experience with fixed schedules, shared transportation and pre-arranged activities. Tour managers and guides are responsible for the group as a whole, not individual travelers.

All travelers must follow schedules and instructions.

Late arrivals may miss activities, sightseeing, departures or transportation. No refunds or credits are provided for missed portions of the itinerary.

Group decisions and timing are made to benefit the group overall.

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS AND PACE OF TRAVEL

Group travel involves regular physical activity. Conditions, especially internationally, may differ from those in the United States.

Walking, standing, stairs, uneven terrain and extended activity periods may be required.

Sidewalks, streets and venues may be irregular, steep, narrow or not accessible.

Timed entries and pre-paid activities require maintaining a reasonable group pace.

If you are unable to keep pace, you may need to separate from the group and are responsible for arranging and paying for transportation to rejoin the group at your own expense.

Travelers should carefully evaluate their physical ability and may contact our office for detailed activity levels before booking. We encourage travelers to select tours that best match their comfort level and pace.

SEATING AND MOTOR COACH POLICIES

Seat rotation may be required.

Seats are not permanently assigned.

Front or specific seats cannot be guaranteed or reserved.

Participation in seat rotation ensures fairness for all travelers. Travelers requiring specific seating should consider whether group travel is appropriate.

Motorcoaches used by Brian Judd Tours may not be wheelchair accessible and often require passengers to climb steps in order to board and exit the vehicle.

Brian Judd Tours Inc., its owners, officers, employees, tour directors, guides, representatives, affiliates, successors and assigns (collectively “Brian Judd Tours”) act solely as agents for the passenger in arranging transportation, accommodations, sightseeing, meals, excursions, cruises, rail services, motorcoach services, airline services, hotels, restaurants and all other services provided in connection with the tour. Brian Judd Tours does not own, operate, manage or control the independent suppliers providing such services and, therefore, assumes no responsibility or liability for any personal injury, death, property damage, loss, accident, delay, inconvenience, irregularity or expense arising out of or related to any act, omission or negligence of any airline, motorcoach company, cruise line, railroad, hotel, restaurant, sightseeing operator or any other person or entity rendering services in connection with the tour.

The Company contracts with independent providers including motorcoach companies, cruise lines, airlines, hotels, restaurants and activity operators.

These providers are not owned or controlled by the Company.

The Company is not responsible for acts, errors, omissions or policies of such providers.

All services are subject to the terms and conditions of those providers.

Brian Judd Tours reserves the right to substitute hotels, airlines, cruise lines, vessels, motorcoaches, transportation equipment, routes, tour features, sightseeing venues, restaurants or other services and to alter itineraries, schedules, departure dates, airports, ports, routing, sightseeing, accommodations and transportation arrangements whenever deemed necessary, advisable or appropriate due to weather, road conditions, operational concerns, safety concerns, low participation, supplier changes, force majeure events or any other reason beyond its control. No refund, credit or reimbursement shall be due for such changes, substitutions, delays, missed connections, shortened visits, unused services or changes in itinerary.

ACCESSIBILITY AND ADA (U.S. TRAVEL)

The Company will make reasonable, good-faith efforts to accommodate travelers with mobility or accessibility needs in accordance with applicable laws.

Group travel relies on third-party providers with varying capabilities.

Not all vehicles, hotels or venues may be fully accessible.

Accessibility cannot be guaranteed in all circumstances.

Travelers must notify the Company of needs in advance and ensure they can safely participate or travel with a capable companion.

INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL DISCLAIMER

For travel outside the United States, ADA laws do not apply. Infrastructure, safety standards, accessibility, medical facilities and emergency response times may differ significantly from those in the United States.

HEALTH DISCLOSURE AND FITNESS TO TRAVEL

Passengers may be required to sign additional supplier waivers, cruise contracts, safari waivers, activity releases, medical forms or destination-specific assumption of risk agreements.

Failure or refusal to sign required waivers or documentation may result in denial of participation, cancellation of travel arrangements or removal from the tour without refund.

SERVICE ANIMALS

Passengers traveling with service animals are solely responsible for complying with all laws, documentation requirements, vaccination requirements, import restrictions, quarantine rules, airline rules, cruise line rules and destination requirements.
