TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Not Included in the fee
We are not responsible for your round trip flight from your home to Mexico City. Also not included are your meals unless specified, items of a personal nature such as laundry, gifts, shopping, beverages, toll calls, excess baggage, medical costs, and the costs of hospitalization and evacuation from remote areas, insurance and additional expenses arising from the delay or extension of a trip due to weather, political disputes, sickness, failure of transportation, or other causes beyond our control.
Cancellation and Refunds
If cancellation occurs 30 or more days before departure, there will be a loss of $300.00 dollars which is the total deposit amount. This deposit may be used toward another Life by Intent LLC. event only. For cancellation 0-30 days prior to departure, no refund will be given - as is the case with a cancellation at the time of departure or after the trip departs. All cancellations must be made to Life By Intent LLC. in writing. Requests for deviation from this refund policy must be made in writing to Life By Intent within 30 days of the return date.
Life By Intent LLC. reserve the right to cancel any trip prior to departure for any reason whatsoever, including an insufficient number of participants or logistical problems (e.g. acts of God, war, strikes, etc.), which may impede trip operations. The refund of all payments as described in the paragraph below shall release Gary van Warmerdam or Life By Intent LLC. from any further liability. A trip cancellation due to insufficient numbers would normally occur at least a month prior to departure, unless acts of God, war, strikes or other events impede our departure causing large numbers of participants opt to cancel participation on the journey in the last days before departure.
Gary van Warmerdam or Life By Intent LLC. may make substantial payments to suppliers (including providers of land travel) far in advance of the scheduled date on which we embark. If a trip is cancelled due to forces beyond our control (acts of God, war, labor strikes, earthquake, flooding, etc.), Life By Intent LLC. will promptly refund the portion of the trip cost not advanced to suppliers (including any moneys set aside for airfare). Gary van Warmerdam will use best efforts to recover advance payments as promptly as possible, and we will refund to you the amount recovered, if any. However, Gary van Warmerdam will not guarantee recovery of any or all of the advance payments made, and best efforts will be made to recover these payments, not including the institution of any legal proceeding in foreign lands. This policy applies to a trip cancellation by client choice following any necessary increase in trip costs.
