RESPONSIBILITY:
The responsibility of Tours de Sport, Inc. (referred to as TDS) and/or its
agents are limited. TDS acts only as an agent for clients in regard to
travel. TDS assumes no liability for injury, damage, loss, accident, delay
or irregularity which may be occasional either by reason of defect, through
acts of God, fire, breakdown in machinery, riots, strikes or from any
causes beyond the control of TDS. Tour services including lift tickets,
transportation and lodging are furnished by independent contractors
(suppliers) and do not act for or on behalf of TDS. The acceptance of tour
arrangements is deemed to be consent to the above. TDS is not reliable or
responsible in any way whatsoever for any act, error or omission or for
inconvenience, loss, damage, injury or death arriving out of tour
arrangements.
RESERVATIONS AND PAYMENTS:
An initial deposit of $50 or $500 per person (non-refundable) is required to
confirm a reservation depending on if your destination is in the Eastern US &
Canada or Western US & Canada or South America. Some lodging properties require
a larger deposit during peak or holiday times. No lodging will be booked or confirmed
without receipt of deposit. Upon receipt of deposit, a confirmation of
receipt and final payment date will be sent to you. Final Payment is due
30 days prior to arrival for Eastern US & Canada or 60 days prior to travel for
Western US & Canada and South America. Final payment for travel during a holiday period
may be required sooner. For reservations made within 30/60 days of travel,
full payment is required at time of booking. Any payments received within
30/60 days will be considered late and must be in the form of cash, certified
check, money order, cashier's check or bank transfer. Cash, checks,
Mastercard, Visa, American Express and Discover may be used for payment.
Persons making final payment via a credit card will be required to sign a
form authorizing TDS to charge their card. Reservations not paid in full
30 days prior to the trip will be assessed a $50 late fee. Last minute
reservations that require use of overnight delivery service(s) will be
charged a $15 processing fee. TDS cannot guarantee any reservations not
paid on time. In some instances, TDS is required to release rooms back to
the supplier when not paid on time. In these instances, TDS will make every
effort to reacquire lodging space. The customer is required to pay any late
booking fees or other expenses incurred by TDS in this process. Should
lodging space not be available, TDS will make every effort to locate
comparable lodging at the same resort or an alternate resort.
PRICES:
Suppliers reserve the right to increase their prices without prior notice.
Any increased costs will be passed to you. No increases will be affected if
your reservation has been deposited, booked and confirmed.
CANCELLATION POLICY:
All cancellations must be received by TDS in writing. Cancellations
received 60 or more days prior to departure will be assessed a per person
penalty equal to the amount of the initial deposit. Cancellations received
60 or fewer days prior to departure will receive no refund. TDS does not
purport to guarantee snow conditions at any resort. Refunds will not be
honored should a passenger decide to cancel this agreement due to snow
conditions. A minority of resorts will provide full or partial refunds or
credits for inadequate snow. In these instances, TDS will refund to the
customer all funds returned to TDS by the suppliers. If a refund is issued
due to a client change or cancellation, any loss of funds
due to the exchange rate is the responsibility of the client.
NO REFUNDS FOR UNUSED SERVICES:
Refunds or allowances will not be made for transportation, accommodations,
lift tickets, services or other portions of the tour which are unused on or
after the tour departure date.
