Your authorization is an agreement for us to charge your card and an acknowledgement and agreement to these terms and conditions including the cancellation terms. As such you agree not to make any improper chargebacks.

In certain cases, you can dispute charges with credit card companies (“chargebacks”). Before initiating a chargeback, we ask you first to call us to discuss any questions or concerns about our charges. We will work with you in attempting to resolve your concerns. By using our service to make a reservation, you accept and agree to our cancellation policy.

Women’s Travel Fest retains the right to dispute any chargeback that is improper and recover any costs, including attorney’s fees related to improper chargebacks. Additionally, in the event of an improper chargeback, we retain the right to cancel any travel reservation related to that improper chargeback.

The following chargeback scenarios are improper, and we retain the right to investigate and rebut any such chargeback claims: 

• Chargebacks resulting from non-cancellable reservations, whether or not the reservation is used.
• Chargebacks resulting from charges authorized by family, friends, associates or other third parties with direct access to your credit card. This does not include credit card fraud.
• Chargebacks arising from inconsistency or inaccuracy with regard to the supplier’s product description.
• Chargebacks resulting from force majeure or other circumstances that are beyond the control of Women’s Travel Fest or the Supplier.

Women’s Travel Fest incurs costs with the suppliers and vendors of your event well in advance of the event. All suppliers have their own cancellation policies, which apply to your booking. If the reason for cancellation is covered under the terms of your travel protection plan (insurance) you may be able to reclaim these charges, for this reason we suggest the purchase of a travel protection plan and strongly encourage including additional cancel for any reason coverage.

No refund will be issued (i) in the event that a client fails to attend the event or does not utilize accommodation or any services; or (ii) for a partially completed event other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful default of Women’s Travel Fest.

We make every effort not to cancel our event. However in such a case Women’s Travel Fest must cancel an event, except in the case of Force Majeure or failure to meet tour minimums, Women’s Travel Fest shall refund in full all payments made by a client.

Please note that a postponement or rescheduling of our event is not considered a cancellation.

We will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if a supplier or vendor needs to make a significant change impacting our event. We will also liaise between you and the supplier in relation to any alternative arrangements offered by the supplier, but we will have no further liability to you.

If between planning time and/or during actual travel, circumstances require changes, our suppliers, reserve the right to cancel or vary any itinerary and substitute components of any event, including but not limited to hotels and accommodations of comparable quality, if air schedule or surface transportation charges, security matters, and/or other events make such alterations necessary.

Suppliers may substitute transportation equipment depending on any variety of factors, including the volume of passengers on a tour. During local or national holidays or special events, peak seasons, on certain days of the week, and during religious occasions, certain facilities such as museums, churches, restaurants, sightseeing tours, hotels, and shopping may be limited or not available. Alternatives will be sugested whenever possible. Women’s Travel Fest cannot be held responsible for any closures, necessary itinerary changes, or curtails for any reason. These changes will not be considered material changes and will not be consider cause for cancellation by the Client. Normal cancellation penalties still apply to the tour that has been changed.

Travel to certain destinations may involve greater risk than others. Women’s Travel Fest urges Clients to remain informed daily as to current news, as well as to review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements, and advisories issued by the United States Government prior to booking travel to international destinations. Information on conditions in various countries and the level of risk associated with travel to destinations can be found at http://www.state.gov, and http://www.cdc.gov. In addition, you should consult with government websites to ensure that you are following all requirements for admittance into that country, including COVID- 19 requirements, as well as understanding local laws that govern travel within a country, such as medical tests and tracking. Should you choose to travel to a country that has been issued a travel warning or advisory, Women’s Travel Fest will not be liable for damages or losses that result from travel to such destinations.

It is the responsibility of each Client to obtain and carry a valid passport, visa(s), inoculations, and all other documents required by applicable government regulations. For up-to-date requirements US citizens should visit www.travel.state.gov. When traveling overseas you must hold a valid passport with a minimum of six months validity from your return date. Foreign passport holders must have a re-entry visa. Traveling to other countries may require a visa or you may be refused entry.

Recommended inoculations for travel may change and you should consult your practitioner for current recommendations before you depart. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet all health entry requirements, obtain the recommended inoculations, take all recommended medication, and follow all medical advice in relation to your trip. Inoculation requirements can be found on the Center for Disease Control website at https://www.cdc.gov/.

You acknowledge any failure to strictly comply with these requirements may result in denied boarding or an undue delay at an airport security checkpoint causing Client to miss flight(s), and subsequent scheduled travel bookings tours. Women’s Travel Fest bears no responsibility for advising and/or obtaining required travel documentation for you, or for any delays, damages, and/or losses including missed portions of your vacation related to improper documentation or government decisions about entry.

Our events are based on land-only pricing so booking air travel is the responsibility of the client. Airline tickets are issued to and accepted by the passenger subject to the terms, regulations and conditions outlined at the time of booking by the airlines’ conditions of carriage.

Names provided to secure reservations must match Clients’ ID or passport. Any minor name corrections should be advised in advance. Not all name corrections will be permitted by airlines and may require the purchase of a new ticket. Clients voluntarily assume full and sole responsibility for any and all risks and/or costs involved with failure to report any errors and/or omissions to documentation.

Women’s Travel Fest advises you personally to re-confirm your flight schedule within 24 hours prior to departure directly with the airline in case of any last-minute changes or delays. Most airlines allow you to check in online 24 hours prior to departure. Upon arrival at the destination it is your responsibility to meet the tour at the designated time and place.

Women’s Travel Fest often has a recommended hotel with a room block. You are under no obligation to book in this hotel, but should you choose to, they will have their own entry, vaccination and accommodation requirements and standards. Some accommodations are luxury properties and/or holiday homes. Some are 3, 4 or 5-star hotels, depending on availability and resources of our suppliers.

If any of the hotels noted in your itinerary are not available at the time of booking and a change becomes necessary, we will make every effort to ensure the substituted accommodation will be equivalent in standard. In the event the Women’s Travel Fest takes place overseas, clients should be aware that hotel room sizes, standards and facilities can vary regionally and are often different from standards in the United States. This can include difference in bed sizes and room sizes, bathroom amenities, amenities such as air-conditioning and compliance with other standards such as ADA and wheelchair accessibility. One of the joys of international travel is experiencing different cultures and different ways of life so we hope that you will accept these differences with grace and a sense of adventure.

While we exercise due diligence in the selection of our partners, hotel and other accommodation profiles are based on information provided to us by the supplier. This includes images and descriptions of the properties and rooms. Additionally, Clients should be aware that star ratings or similar systems are based on country classifications and therefore can differ. While Women’s Travel Fest does its best to maintain current and accurate information regarding these suppliers, we cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in supplier descriptions, amenities, or images.

Due to weather and factors beyond control, sightseeing schedules may need to be altered in some way. We make every effort to ensure a seamless transition, and a bit of fun along the way! As a courtesy to others in the tour and/or activity, it is mandatory that you be on time for all scheduled experiences. Tours and activities will begin on-time and failure to arrive will be considered a no-show for which no refunds will be available. It is essential that you keep in mind that tour and activity times are set to accommodate climate, crowd size and best viewing options for our groups. At times, early morning departure times may help create a better experience. Therefore, late arrivals cannot be accommodated.

Our tickets do not include airfares, transportation to and from the airport, passport or visa fees, taxes, travel and health insurance, telephone expenses, drinks unless specified, excess baggage charges, tips and services not otherwise listed and all items of a personal nature. The price does not cover costs and expenses, including your return home, if you leave the event whether of your own volition, our decision based on behavior that disrupts the trip, due to illness, action by any government or other reason. This list is illustrative and not a complete list of every item not included.
