TRAVELER BOOKING TERMS & CONDITIONS

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Mae Alice Suzuki’s (“The Organizer”) group trip services (“Trip” and “Trip Services”). By booking and/or participating in a trip organized by Mae Alice Suzuki, you (“Traveler”) acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.

1. LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY

1.1 Assumption of Risk

The Traveler acknowledges that participation in the Trip involves inherent risks, including but not limited to the risk of injury, illness, or death. The Traveler assumes full responsibility for any risks associated with their participation in the Trip, and agrees to waive any and all claims against the Organizer, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents arising from such risks. This includes, but is not limited to, situations that arise during organized events, excursions, or any activities associated with the Trip. Travelers participate in all activities at their own risk and are encouraged to exercise caution and good judgment at all times.

1.2 Scope of Organizer Responsibility

The Organizer will not be held accountable for any activities or events that take place outside of the official itinerary provided to the Travelers. It is understood that the Organizer is only responsible for the events and excursions that are explicitly outlined in the trip itinerary. Any additional activities undertaken by the Traveler, including those not coordinated by the Organizer, are done so at the Traveler’s own discretion and risk.

1.3 Traveler Responsibilities

Each Traveler acknowledges and accepts full responsibility for their own flights, visas, meals that are not included in the official itinerary, and the acquisition of appropriate travel insurance coverage. The Organizer strongly encourages all Travelers to purchase comprehensive travel insurance that includes coverage for medical emergencies, trip cancellations, lost belongings, and other unforeseen circumstances. While the Organizer is not responsible for any costs associated with these matters, travel insurance can provide financial protection in the event of unexpected events.

2. PRICING AND PAYMENT

2.1 Inclusions and Exclusions

Unless otherwise specified, the price of your Booking includes:

• Included accommodation as listed on the Website and/or in written communication
• Included transportation as listed on the Website and/or in written communication

2.2 Payment Terms

Full payment for the trip is due in accordance with the schedule specified during the Booking process. Travelers must ensure that payments are made by the designated deadlines to secure their reservations. We offer instant payments via Stripe. While we also accept payments through PayPal Friends & Family, Zelle, and Venmo, please be aware that these services may not offer the same buyer protection as standard business transactions. Upon completing the payment via methods other than Stripe, the Traveler is required to send a screenshot or transaction record of the payment to our email at trip@maealicesuzuki.com. Additionally, Travelers must provide the name and email address used for the payment. The Traveler will receive a confirmation email once payment is received. Please note that the payment confirmation email is not confirmation of the Trip itself, which will be confirmed separately in writing.

2.3 Variable Pricing

Pricing for the trip may vary based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to the timing of the booking, seasonal demand, and availability. Some Travelers may incur higher or lower costs compared to others depending on when they make their reservations. By proceeding with the booking, the Traveler acknowledges and accepts the potential for price differences that may arise due to these variable factors at the time of booking. Prices are displayed in USD.

2.4 Trip Refund Policy

The Deposit is nonrefundable, except only in the circumstances of trip cancellation, force majeure, and the participant failing to pass background checks.

Once enough spots are booked, a Trip Confirmation email will be sent to participants. Once the trip is confirmed in writing, the remaining balance will be due. However, in the event that the Trip is canceled due to insufficient participation, the Traveler will receive a full refund of their initial deposit. In the occurrence of force majeure, travelers will be refunded their deposits, minus operating expenses already paid to local operators. It is understood that these are the only two situations in which a refund may be granted, and all other payments made are non-refundable. This policy is in place to protect the integrity and financial viability of the trip, which includes the costs incurred for Trip Services and local operators. In case of any cancellation for any reason, The Operator is not responsible for any incidental expenses that you may have incurred as a result of your Booking, including but not limited to, visas, vaccinations, unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations, travel insurance excess or non-refundable flights.
