Seminars International (SI) acts only as an agent and neither SI nor any employee or appointee nor any other person, party or organization or agency collaborating with it is or shall be responsible or liable for any injury or loss, accident or damage, delay or deviation or curtailment, howsoever caused or arising or the consequences thereof, which may occur during any part of the travel or program or during such free time as the members may elect to spend independently on tour. The airlines or commercial carriers concerned are not to be held responsible for any acts, omissions, or events during the time the passengers are not on board their planes or conveyances. The passage contracts in use by the airlines concerned, when issued, will constitute the sole contract between the airlines and the purchaser of this tour and/or passenger.
Some participants may wish to precede the group, extend their stay, or originate or deplane from different cities. Every effort will be made to assist tour members who require deviations in air and/or land arrangements for a $75 per person service charge, plus any additional charges levied by the airline. Once the deviation has been booked, any changes may incur additional costs. Please remember that you are purchasing a group tour. Thus, any deviation from the tour arrangements will require staff time that is not calculated in the tour price. No refund can be granted to participants who wish to omit portions of the itinerary. All deviation requests must be submitted in writing at least 75 days prior to departure to avoid any misunderstandings. Please make sure all participants have this information.
