TRAVEL DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING TSA AND DHS ACCEPTABLE IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

It is the responsibility of each Customer to obtain and carry a valid passport, visa(s), and all other documents required by applicable government regulations. When traveling domestically or internationally, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) advise that everyone carry at least two forms of acceptable identification in order to board a flight. Acceptable identification can be found at

http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/acceptable-ids; examples are DHS-designated enhanced driver’s license, USA Passport, a foreign government passport. The name, date of birth and gender that appears on the identification card must exactly match the same such data that is listed on airline ticket(s) and booking records. PT strongly recommends that you take into account that certain countries will not admit a passenger, if their passport expires within six (6) months of the date of entry. Non-United States citizens may require additional documentation.

Children and infants also require all such travel documents. Minors traveling with one parent, and/or without both parents, may be stopped and not admitted, unless authenticated and verified consent forms are provided to the authorities; please see https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/268/kw/travel for forms. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency requires that for USA child groups under age 19 arriving by land or sea from contiguous territory and traveling with a school group, religious group, social or cultural organization, or sports team, may also present an original or copy of his or her birth certificate, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or a Naturalization Certificate. Parental or legal guardian consent must be provided to the supervising adult/Group Leader. 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 Customer to miss flight(s), and subsequent scheduled travel bookings on cruises and tours. Check each supplier’s website to ensure you and all members in your travel group or party obtain and carry travel documentation required.

When you receive any and all travel documents, it is the sole responsibility of the customer to review and verify all information. Contact PT immediately if changes or corrections are required.

INDIVIDUAL ENTRY AND EXIT REQUIREMENTS

Each foreign country holds different views of past criminal offenses, whether within or outside of their boundaries. If you have a current or past offense, and you are unsure how the country you are traveling to (or through) views that offense, please contact that country directly for entry and exit requirements. (Details can be found at http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_4965.html.)

We feel it is an invasion of privacy for any member of our staff to make such an inquiry. For example, if traveling to or through Canada, Americans with a Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) record should always check whether current rules exclude admission, and potential waivers. (Reference http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/faq/inadmissibility/index.asp)

RISKS/SAFETY

Travel to certain destinations may involve greater risk than others. PROGRESSIVE TRAVELLERS urges customers to remain informed on a daily basis as to current news events, as well as to review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements and advisories issued by the United States Government prior to booking travel to international destinations.

You shall be completely responsible for all charges, fees, duties, taxes, and assessments arising out of your travel bookings through access provided by PT.

PAYMENTS AND CANCELLATIONS

A designated non-refundable deposit is required to initiate and complete negotiations with vendors on behalf of the client. This one-time payment is necessary to finalize the full itinerary and will be deducted from the total cost of the tour upon booking. Should the client decide not to proceed with the booking, the deposit will not be refunded, as it compensates for the time and effort involved in preparing the comprehensive itinerary. Additionally, any changes or further negotiations to the itinerary after the initial agreement may incur additional fees, which will be charged to the client.

Unless otherwise defined during the reservation process, final payment is due prior to departure or consumption according to each supplier’s (airline, hotel, cruise line, Transfer Company, sightseeing operators, and other travel service vendors) terms and conditions involved in your travel booking. If at any time during the payment schedule the traveler falls behind 3 months or greater we reserve the right to cancel the booking and all monies paid up to that point will be forfeited. If final and full payment is not received by the applicable due date, reservations are subject to cancellation and deposits shall be forfeited. In some cases there is NO REFUND once a booking is made and paid for. Your right to a refund if you change or cancel your travel plans is limited. All cancellation requests must be sent to PT in writing. As a result of cancellation, PT’s and third party supplier’s cancellation penalties will apply, which are detailed in your travel documentation per your booking itinerary. Cancellation penalties are advised at time of booking and provided to you upon confirmation. If you have any questions, or any penalties are unclear, please contact us. All cancellation fees will be charged to the credit card you authorized to pay for travel services, or deducted from the supplier’s refund.

**PROGRESSIVE TRAVELLERS offer various payment methods ( ZELLE, Credit Card), if you choose to pay by credit card you will incur a 5.0% charge for the total amount of your trip.**

CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS continued

Please be advised- because of the nature of our travel group the safety and security of each traveler as well as PT coordinators are our priority. We reserve the right to refuse service. If PT coordinators deem a potential traveler a hazard or hindrance to overall groups health or emotional well-being we reserve the right to cancel a secured trip at any time. by notifying the traveler in writing and refunding any money paid and received to PT less the initial deposit. Anticipated

refunds due to PT canceling your trip will be processed and released within 15 business days of receipt of written notification. of cancellation.

Please be advised- because of the nature of our travel group and that our prices are based on double and group occupancy WE DO NOT REFUND. This way the travelmate assigned to travel with you can still travel without any negative impact. For this reason we strongly suggest that you obtain travel insurance.

Refunds shall not be given for unused travel service or any portion thereof. If cancellation by one or more travelers alters the room requirements of the remaining travelers, travelers still traveling may be required to pay a revised rate.

We regret that we cannot make exceptions for personal emergencies. We recommend that you consider purchasing tour cancellation insurance. Exceptions to this policy cannot be made for any reason, including weather, acts of God, terrorism, civil unrest, personal or medical emergencies.

Minimum number required for group travel. If numbers should fall below the minimum, PT reserves the right to cancel the trip. If PT cancels a trip, it would be prior to your final payment, and your deposit and payments would be completely refunded.

Travel Insurance is strongly suggested for any trip taken with PT. Full Coverage Insurance, Medical, Cancellation & Interruption is what is required. If you have your own Medical Plan and have excellent coverage out of the country and can provide that information to PT then you will only be required to purchase Cancellation & Interruption Insurance.

INSURANCE IS RECOMMENDED TO BE PURCHASED AT TIME OF DEPOSIT. PROGRESSIVE TRAVELLERS, we go through various hotels, airlines, railroads, cruise lines, and other providers of accommodation, transportation or other services ("the suppliers'') book various trips through a travel agency for its members (also identified as travelers). As such PT makes every effort to ensure that the quality of the services rendered by the Suppliers is consistent with the descriptions provided. Note that pictures and photographs are not intended to be guarantees of all the attributes represented. From time to time, specific services may not be available for reasons beyond the control of PT.

PT acts solely as an organizer/agent. PT is responsible for making arrangements for accommodations, services, and event tickets that constitute the travel package, except to the extent that those accommodations, service or event tickets cannot be supplied, schedule changes, capacity limits, or become no longer available for reasons beyond the control of PT.

PROGRESSIVE TRAVELLERS shall not be liable for any personal injury, property damage, inconvenience, loss of time, or any other loss or damage, direct or indirect, arising out of any act, omission or negligence of any direct air carrier, motor coach company, hotel or any other person rendering and service or providing any accommodation or event in conjunction with the travel package. PT shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage, direct or indirect, sustained as a result of theft, accident, mechanical breakdown, government action, weather, Act of God, failure to make timely payments, or any other reason beyond the control of PT.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TOUR COMPANIES, CRUISE LINES, AIR LINES

The information listed below is what is normally listed in brochures &/or tickets. l: That neither the Company nor its affiliates, agents or employees shall be liable for any loss, injury, damage or claim to any person or property unless it arises from the intentional act of negligence of any one for whose actions the Company is responsible.

2: The rates quoted are either in Canadian Dollars or United States Dollars and are those in effect at the time of printing. Should tariff or exchange rates vary at any time prior to the date of travel, the Companies reserve the right to change the stated rates without notice.

3: That neither PT, nor the Supplier, nor its affiliates, agents or employees shall be liable for any loss or damage resulting from insufficient passport, VISA, or other documentation.

4: That you will sign on request, an authorization to use the credit card whose number you have provided in payment for these services.

5: Your air ticket, cruise ticket, land package ticket, when issued, shall constitute the sole contract between you and the appropriate supplier.

All coupons, exchange orders, receipts, contracts and tickets (the travel documents) are issued subject to any and all tariffs, terms and conditions under which such services are provided by the Suppliers. Your acceptance and use of such Travel Documents shall also evidence your consent to the following conditions. We strive to obtain the best value for our dollar and obtain any savings we can on all trips we organize.

Don’t forget to bring your travel documents with you. It is the responsibility of each individual traveler to obtain the documentation required for their trip such as passports, visas, birth certificates, and photo identification. Travelers entering most countries are required to show a passport for entry. Also, customs officials now want to see that your passport is valid for 6 months past your departure date. If you are unable to depart with the group because of missing or lost documents PT will assist by putting you in touch with the proper authorities, but the group cannot be delayed. Travelers denied at any border will not be entitled to any refund.

In reference to hotel accommodations, traveler agrees to be responsible for all incidental charges incurred in excess of those covered by the package. Incidental charges can include but are not limited to food, beverages, telephone use, internet use, parking fees, and other hotel charges. All hotels require a credit card or deposit for incidental charges at time of check-in. Hotels expect departing guests to vacate rooms by the designated time and arriving guests to check-in at a designated time to allow for cleaning and maid service. Host hotels do their best to minimize inconvenience and store luggage if you arrive early or need to depart late. PT reserves the right to substitute confirmed hotels with comparable accommodations at either their own or the hotel’s discretion. Accommodations are subject to availability. Late names, or name changes, that occur inside 30 days of travel will be charged a $50.00/room fee. Late names, or name changes, that occur inside 14 days of travel will be charged a $75.00/room fee. All sleeping rooms are non-smoking. The exception to this rule is that if it has been mutually agreed by both parties sharing the room that it is all right to smoke and the hotel has smoking rooms available, then it is accepted. In this case, please notify PT so that the necessary arrangements can be made for a smoking room.

In reference to airline reservations and changes PROGRESSIVE TRAVELLERS has no affiliation with any airline. Any airline reservations done on a traveler’s behalf are subject to the applicable airline rules and regulations, baggage fee, changes and cancellation policies. Traveler is advised to contact their airline 12 hours before departure and again 4 to 6 hours to re-confirm departure time.

REQUIRED TRAVEL SHOTS & MEDICATIONS

It is your own responsibility to contact your family doctor concerning what is best for your own health. PROGRESSIVE TRAVELLERS cannot be responsible for any illness contracted while on a Vacation. Your family doctor or Travel doctors will advise what shots and medications required for destination...e.g.: Malaria Pills, Yellow Fever Shots, Hepatitis shots....although personally I recommend everyone to keep their regular inoculations always up to date. PT will pass on information received from the Tour Companies, but it is still best to talk with your Doctor.

AIR, CHECK-IN, SCHEDULE RECONFIRMATION

It is the Customer’s responsibility to make appropriate air arrangements, as well as transportation to and from the destination where the travel booking originates and returns. PT shall not assume any responsibility for any air and/or ground schedule changes. In rare instances, upon departure from a country, certain departure taxes must be paid in cash only, and may vary in price. Due to enhanced security, it is strongly recommended that you check in a minimum of 2 hours prior to scheduled departure for domestic flights and 3 hours prior to scheduled departure time for international flights. Reconfirm flight times at least 24 hours prior to scheduled departure time for domestic flights, and 72 hours prior for international flights. Failure to use a reservation may result in automatic cancellation of all continuing and return flights, as well as forfeiture of airfares.

LATE BOOKINGS

Prospective customers are advised to reserve early to avoid disappointment and additional late booking fees.

TOURS: NO REFUND FOR UNUSED ARRANGEMENTS AND MINIMUM PASSENGER REQUIREMENTS

As PROGRESSIVE TRAVELLERS’ tour prices are based on contract rates, there will not be any refund for any unused portion of a tour. Some group tours are based on minimum numbers of passengers traveling; if the number of passengers falls below the minimum required, a surcharge may be imposed or the tour may be canceled.

CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS

Currency exchange rates fluctuate. Prices are subject to change based upon currency exchange rate fluctuations, provided actual variations have occurred.

ALTERATIONS TO CONFIRMED BOOKINGS

If you decide to change any portion of your confirmed arrangements prior to departure or during your trip, we will attempt to assist you. Certain bookings may not be able to be changed. Administrative charges of $105 or more per hour are advised at time of booking, provided to you upon confirmation, and depend upon circumstances of the request. All desired changes must be made in writing to PT.

HEALTH/SECURITY/TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS

Each Customer is responsible to make absolutely certain to have the proper immunizations and required documentation of such immunizations before travel, and to make the necessary accommodation for security rules imposed by government authorities. PT shall not assume responsibility for the accuracy of health requirements or vaccination and/or documentation prior to departure or upon landing at the final destination. See your health practitioner for advice. Prior to travel, required inoculations, if any, must be recorded by Customer’s health practitioner on a valid vaccination certificate, which the Customer must carry for proof of inoculation where required. If you are concerned about taking any medications or receiving certain inoculations, check with your health practitioner BEFORE booking. Check the USA State Department Web site http://travel.state.gov, for relevant information relating to travel to specific destinations, and the USA Centers for Disease Control http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/ relating to health issues.

(Customer is responsible to make PT aware when traveling on a passport from a country other than the USA.) PT neither controls nor warrants the issuance of visas related to applicable travel. Should a visa not be issued, PT is not responsible

for lost payments made toward the contemplated trip. Please note that USA rules regarding entry and exit change on a daily basis. When traveling domestically or internationally, the U.S.

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) advise that everyone carry at least two forms of acceptable identification found http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/acceptable-ids.
