​

General Travel Design 

 

I am at least 18 years of age, and of sound mind, to enter into agreement with Destinations By Dani for the purpose of travel services as expressed below.

 

I understand that Destinations By Dani is not the source or supplier of the travel services I have requested, and acts solely as an agent for the actual suppliers of such services. I consent to and request the use of those suppliers and agree not to hold Destinations By Dani responsible should any of these suppliers: 1) fail to provide the travel services I have purchased; 2) fail to comply with any applicable law; or 3) engage in any negligent act or omission that causes me any sort of injury, damage, delay or inconvenience.

​

I understand that such suppliers will also have their own terms and conditions to which I agree if travel is booked. 

​

I understand that Destinations By Dani is not responsible for, nor will I attempt to hold it liable for, any injury, damage or loss I may suffer on account of any conditions, actions or omissions that are beyond its reasonable control.

​

I further understand and acknowledge that travel to many parts of the world may involve the risk of a variety of hazards to my health and/or safety, including but not limited to disease, crime, terrorism, and warfare.  Because each traveler’s risk tolerance is different, Destinations By Dani is not in a position to advise me whether I should travel to any particular place at any particular time.  Rather, to assist me in making an informed decision, I should refer to objective third-party sources of travel information, such as that maintained by the U.S. Department of State (travel.state.gov).

​

I understand that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires me to carry a government-issued identification card in order to board a flight. I have been advised that the name, date of birth and gender that appears on the identification card must exactly match the same data that is listed on my airline ticket and in my booking records. I acknowledge that my failure to strictly comply with these requirements may result in denied boarding or an undue delay at an airport security checkpoint causing me to miss my flight.  I further acknowledge that beginning on May 3, 2023, I must present a driver’s license or another form of identification that complies with the requirements of the Federal Real ID Act (see www.dhs.gov/real-id for more information).

​

I understand that the airline tickets, air tours or other products I am purchasing are subject to supplemental price increases that may be imposed after the date of purchase. Post-purchase price increases may be applied due to additional costs imposed by a supplier or government. I acknowledge that I may be charged additional sums by Destinations By Dani to offset increased fees, fuel surcharges, taxes, fluctuations in foreign exchange markets or any combination thereof. I hereby consent to any post-purchase price increases and authorize Destinations By Dani to charge my credit card for such additional amounts.

​

I understand that discounted fares typically involve restrictions and that changing any aspect of my travel arrangements may result in the payment of additional money due to supplier imposed change fees.

​

I understand that it is my responsibility to ensure any prior criminal convictions I may have are not restricted by the laws of the country to which I am traveling.  For example: Travelers with DUI/DWI convictions may be prohibited from traveling to Canada.

​

I understand that some travel suppliers may not permit travel for pregnant individuals, even with written authorization from their healthcare provider. 

​

Travel Parties: I acknowledge that by making any payments to a travel reservation, I am agreeing to be obligated for the full amount of the travel services provided in my reservation. In the event that I am sharing a reservation with a travel companion that subsequently decides not to travel, for any reason, or abandons or leaves the vacation mid-travel, I am solely responsible for the cost of all items set forth in my reservation, and any changes, including any increase or decrease in the members of my travel party, or cancellations, and will be subject to the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and of affected travel suppliers, including the fees associated therewith. I further acknowledge that some services are required to be purchased by all members of a travel party sharing accommodations, and I am responsible for the full amount purchased whether or not shared by some or all members of my travel party. 

​

Travel Protection/Trip Insurance: I understand travel protection/trip insurance is required for all Destinations By Dani Curated Group Getaways to cover certain risks inherent in travel such as supplier bankruptcy and the inability to travel due to a medical or personal emergency. I understand that declining travel protection/trip insurance could result in the loss of my travel cost and/or require more money to correct the situation. I acknowledge that 1) I am responsible for any cancellation penalties and out-of-pocket expenses incurred; 2) I am responsible for travel, medical or other provisions in the event of emergency during travel; 3) I will not be protected from loss and/or compensated for delay in the event of travel vendor, travel supplier, travel-related operator default. I acknowledge that without travel protection/trip insurance, there may be no way to recoup any losses, costs or expenses incurred and I accept all responsibilities including but not limited to the examples expressed herein.

​

If travel protection/trip insurance is not accepted at time of booking, a signed insurance waiver must be on file. Destinations By Dani will provide trusted third-party insurance options withing 24 hours up to 14 days following booking. Proof of purchase of travel protection/trip insurance must be submitted before Destinations By Dani will release any travel documents to me or members of my travel party. If I choose not to protect my trip, cancellation procedures will ensue.

​

I understand that Destinations By Dan is not a travel insurance provider or broker and can only provide options for coverage. Destinations By Dani can not advise on insurance. All related questions or concerns should be directed to the insurance provider.

 

Pricing and Payments

 

Prices are subject to change at any time, at the discretion of the travel supplier (airline, resort/hotel, cruise line, etc.).

 

I understand that Destinations By Dani only accepts payments in United States Dollars via major debit or credit cards. Accepted cards are: Mastercard, Visa, Discover, and American Express. Credit or debit cards should also be in my own name. 

 

I understand that it is in my best interest to use a credit card as this may offer me the opportunity to dispute the charge should a vendor cease operating.

 

Payment Plans: For trips with monthly payment plans, payment in full is not required at the time of booking, however, payment plans are not available for any bookings made within sixty (60) days of the scheduled travel. I understand that bookings made within sixty (60) of travel will require payment in full at the time of booking. 

 

Final Payment: Reserved travel plans must be paid in full on or before the final payment date. My travel invoice will state the date my final payment is due. It is my responsibility to maintain awareness of my financial responsibility to my travel plans. I understand that any reservations not paid in full on or before my final payment date is subject to cancellation, with no notice and no refund of payments made, as well as any related penalties or fees pursuant to the cancellation request procedure stated below.

 

 

Changes, Cancellations, and Chargebacks

 

Reservation Change Requests: All change requests by Destinations By Dani clients must be submitted in writing to Danielle@DestinationsByDani.com with the subject line "Change Request."  Changes to an existing reservation, as requested by Destinations By Dani clients, whatever the cause, will incur a charge of  $50 per person payable to Destinations By Dani. This fee must be paid in advance of completion of the requested change. I understand that this fee is non-refundable and non-negotiable, and the requested change will not be completed until this fee is paid.

 

I acknowledge that certain changes may require cancellation and rebooking of my reservation per the terms, conditions, policies and procedures of the affected travel supplier. I thereby understand that I may be responsible for any difference in price at the time of my change request, and that the previously booked elements of my travel may not be available at the time of my change request. Destinations By Dani has no control over price or availability. 

 

Cancellation Requests:  All cancellation requests by Destinations By Dani clients must be submitted in writing to Danielle@DestinationsByDani.com with the subject line "Cancellation Request."

 

I understand that my request for cancellation of my trip will result in a penalty of $100 per person payable to Destinations By Dani via the payment method I authorized for the final payment or most recently completed payment. In order to secure any cancellation, the applicable cancellation fee must be paid in advance along with the signed acknowledgment of cancellation authorization. I understand that this fee is non-refundable and non-negotiable, and the planned travel will not be canceled until this fee is paid. As such I acknowledge that I will remain liable for all costs associated with the planned travel until cancellation has been secured.

 

If the aforementioned payment method is declined, I guarantee that I will settle the amount owed to Destinations By Dani by another method of payment. I will have 30 days from the date of invoice to remit payment before the matter is referred to small claims court. 

 

Except in cases where cancellation is executed by the travel supplier(s) or by Destinations By Dani, I understand that any applicable refund of my travel payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and policies of the supplier(s), including timing of any refunds and the form of refund, whether in the form paid or travel credit. I understand there may be a delay in receiving such refunds, including credits, from suppliers. I agree to not request a chargeback from my credit card company as this will cause further delay in the refund process.

 

Chargebacks: I understand that trip payments are a binding agreement in which I give Destinations By Dani my approval and authorization to charge my credit card for the approved amount. As such, I understand that I and each member of my travel party waive any right to a chargeback for any reason except fraud, including, but not limited to, a force majeure event and cancellation for any reason. 

 

I agree to not seek chargeback for any fees or agreed upon costs for travel to which this Agreement applies except solely in the case of fraud by Destinations By Dani. If Destinations By Dani incurs any costs, including but not limited to attorney's fees, to recover any payments charged back by my credit card company, I understand that I will be liable for these costs and invoiced for such. I will have 30 days from the date of invoice to remit payment before the matter is referred to small claims court. 

 

I understand that any applicable refund of my travel payments to suppliers will be subject to the terms, conditions and policies of the suppliers, including timing of any refunds and the form of refund, whether in the form paid or travel credit.

 

In the event that I attempt to chargeback without the authorization of Destinations By Dani, I agree to pay Destinations By Dani a $100 fee to cover the process of providing information to my credit card company. This fee will be charged to the payment method I authorized for my final payment or most recently completed payment, and will be charged regardless if the chargeback is successful. In addition, I understand that Destinations By Dani reserves the right to collect all additional costs, fees, and expenses associated with such chargeback, reversal, or recollection, including, without limitation, attorney fees. 

 

I further understand that the provisions of this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement.

COVID-19 Clause: I understand that the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend preventative measures including by not limited to social distancing, temperature checks, frequent hand washing, the use of hand sanitizer, and face coverings that cover both nose and mouth. I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that I and/or my party may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19, and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, disability, and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 during travel may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others. I agree to assume the aforementioned risks and accept sole responsibility for any effect on my party or myself, including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, death, illness, damage, loss, liability, or expense of any kind, that I or my party may experience or incur in connection with this travel. 

 

I  understand that some amenities and activities in various destinations may be unavailable or altered in experience and can change at any given time. I acknowledge that for this reason, and other reasons not reasonably foreseeable at this time, my travel plans may be interrupted or cancelled by the supplier that is providing them, a government entity or other third party over which Destinations By Dani has no control. I further acknowledge that the supplier’s own cancellation, rebooking and refund policies, subject to any applicable law that is now or may later be in effect, will govern my rights and remedies, including my right to receive a refund, in such an event.

 

I also understand that a negative COVID-19 PCR or antigen test is required for air entry in some destinations, and for entry by air into the United States from all international destinations. I will make necessary arrangements to provide results of my test within the required time frame according to each destination. To that end, I also accept the risk of being required to quarantine in destination for 10-14 days should my test return a positive result. I will not knowingly travel to or from any destination with symptoms of COVID-19.

 

Moreover, I understand that should I elect to purchase travel insurance, the terms of the policy will dictate whether, and to what extent, coverage for any financial loss may exist under the circumstances. 

 

I hereby agree to hold Destinations By Dani harmless and release it from any and all liability for any damages, including but not limited to monetary losses, I may incur as a result  of such circumstances.
