SPACE BY «SPACE PERSPECTIVE»

Refundable deposit. A deposit is paid to reserve seat(s), or full capsule (s), on a future Space Perspective flight. The deposit amount varies according to the year. Please contact Exotik Journeys. The deposit amount shown on your Flight Reservation Confirmation is a down payment towards the total flight cost reflected on the Flight Reservation Confirmation. The deposit is refundable until such time as the Balance Payment is due.

Balance of Total Flight Cost. The Balance should be paid within twelve months prior to the planned Space Perspective Flight date. At time of Balance Payment, the Deposit becomes non-refundable. In the event Principal Explorer fails to make the Balance Payment as required, Space Perspective will terminate Explorers’ right to participate in Space Perspective Flight(s) and deposit will be refunded. In the event of such a cancellation, the parties shall have no further rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Flight Priority. Explorers shall be entitled to a seat(s), or full capsule, on the flight number purchased at time of paying the Deposit (Flight Priority). Space Perspective reserves the right to deviate from the priority structure at its sole discretion. Nothing in this paragraph shall prohibit Explorers from waiving their priority status in order to be assigned to a later Space Perspective Flight, for example, to meet Explorers’ scheduling needs or to seek an assignment with one or more specific other Explorers.

Conditions of Participation. Explorers agree and acknowledge that participation on any Space Perspective Flight is not guaranteed and will be subject to conditions of participation, which have not yet been specifically determined and may change from time to time. Conditions under which Space Perspective may cancel Explorers’ right to participate on a Space Perspective Flight include, but are not limited to, Explorers’ medical fitness as determined by Space Perspective or its representative(s), limitations or restrictions imposed by any governmental or regulatory authority, or Space Perspective’s determination, in its sole discretion, that Explorers’ participation presents an unacceptable risk of harm to Explorers, Space Perspective, or third parties. Explorers further agree that no Space Perspective Flight shall be permitted unless Explorers sign and return to Space Perspective a written document acknowledging and accepting various conditions of participation within thirty (30) days after the date of the delivery of such document. Principal Explorer shall be entitled to a refund of the Balance Payment and Deposit if, through no fault of his/her own, Explorer is deemed by Space Perspective to be an unacceptable candidate for a Space Perspective flight, or a governmental regulatory body or its regulations prohibit Explorer from participating in the assigned Space Perspective Flight, and the issue cannot be resolved by reassignment to a different Space Perspective Flight. The amount of the refunded Balance Payment shall be prorated by the number of Explorers on the Flight Reservation form deemed unable to fly. The refund shall relieve Space Perspective of all obligations under this Agreement relating to providing a Space Perspective Flight.

SPECIAL REQUESTS

Exotik Journeys cannot guarantee specific requests such as room location, adjoining rooms, bed preference, seat selection, in-flight meal requirements, sky cots, etc. While Exotik Journeys will advise service providers of such requests, it cannot be held responsible if such requests cannot be fulfilled or if local surcharges are applied. Seat selection can be free or with charge.  If you or your travel agent cannot do your seat selection on the airline website with your reservation number or via your travel agent prior to departure, this might be because you are part of a Group (special fare). If it’s the case, at time of ticketing, Exotik Journeys will notify the airline which passengers are traveling together in an effort to have them seated together.  Exotik Journeys can guarantee the seat but not the seating (seat number). Exotik Journeys cannot be held responsible if passengers do not get their preferred seat.  We always recommend the client to do the free online check-in 23 hours or less prior departure on the official airline online website.

DOCUMENTATION

It is solely your responsibility to obtain, at your own expense, all the documentation required by relevant government authorities for the purpose of your holiday. Required documentation may vary depending on citizenship status. Special documentation may be required for minors travelling alone; for children who have a different surname than the adults who accompany them; or for single parents travelling with children. Prior to departure, you should check with your travel agent and/or the relevant consulate about what documentation is required. Some countries require a visa and/or a passport valid for at least 6 months after the date of return to Canada. All passengers must make sure they have a valid passport according to the requirements of the countries visited. Passengers holding other than a Canadian passport may require other documents (i.e. visa or vaccination certificate). The passenger must obtain these documents before departure.

If passage or entry is refused, Exotik will not be held liable and will not issue any refunds.

 

PASSENGERS NOT HOLDING A CANADIAN PASSPORT

Due to security restrictions, liquids and gels, as well as many other items, are not permitted in carry-on luggage. Prescription medications should be kept in the original container and packed in carry-on luggage. Please check with the airline prior to departure for the most up-to-date regulations in order to avoid items being confiscated at security. In the event that your baggage is delayed at your destination or upon your return home, please contact the airline representative before leaving the airport. Failure to do so will invalidate your claim. Independent contractors over which we have no control perform baggage handling and we cannot assume responsibility for loss of, or damage to, baggage or other possessions. Due to the carrier’s limit of liability; please do not check valuable items such as jewelry and cameras. Please also limit the valuables (including electronic equipment) you take with you on holiday and use the safety deposit boxes provided at hotels or on cruise ships. Please ensure you have adequate insurance to cover your belongings throughout your holiday.

SOUVENIRS FROM ABROAD

Exotik Journeys and its partners cannot, at any time, be held responsible for goods purchased from abroad, including items to be delivered at a later date. Exotik Journeys cannot be held responsible for damaged items or incorrect goods delivered or for transport charges and duties.

CONNECTING FLIGHTS

If you have connecting flights with separate tickets, you should allow ample time (minimum 3 hours) between flights. Exotik Journeys cannot accept any responsibility for additional charges incurred for airfares or other expenses due to missed flights, irregular air operations or flight time changes.

TOURS AND ITINERARIES

Tours abroad are not operated or managed by Exotik Journeys but by tour operators and/or local suppliers whose names appear on your exchange vouchers. Exotik Journeys’s role is strictly limited to transmitting your reservations to the local tour operator. Exotik does not assume any responsibility in the event of an error or failure to provide any service by the local tour operators or their representatives. Itineraries stated in this brochure/Flyer/website are given for information purposes only and are subject to change at any time. Cities and stops described in the tours, whether individually or as a whole, cannot in any way be considered a determining factor of your booking. Itineraries, visits, accommodation or means of transportation are subject to change during the course of the tour, due to special circumstances, and the local tour operator as well as the guide can decide at any time to make any changes or substitutions – their decision being final and without recourse. Number of participants in a group can vary from 2 to 55 persons in the programs presented in this brochure/Flyer/website except for the tours guaranteed with only 25 or 35 passengers. For tours guaranteed with only 25 or 35 passengers, sometimes, depending on the room assignment, the maximum can be of 27 or 37 passengers including our tour leader.

SOLO TRAVELER

is a person who travels completely alone with services, such as guides and drivers, on a private basis. A solo traveler rate should not be mistaken by a single occupancy rate. All prices are on request.

ESCORTED TOURS

An escorted tour, also known as a group tour, is a type of travel experience in which tourists are escorted by a professional guide during the entire duration of their travel. An escorted tour consists of a small or a large group of travelers who usually make use of a small or large motorcoach for transportation between locations.

If you are booked on a tour or other travel that is scheduled to be accompanied by a specific host, if a circumstance arises where they cannot host the departure, please be assured that Exotik Journeys will provide another host for which you will be advised prior departure or in travel, if applicable. We will take all measures to ensure that your vacation plans are uninterrupted. Exotik Journeys cannot be held responsible for any unforeseen changes, and this does not constitute a reason to request any type of compensation or refund.

 

CORRESPONDENTS AND LOCAL GUIDES:

Tours and visits mentioned in the itineraries are provided by local guides. For most visits, Exotik Journeys provides French or English-speaking local guides, but remember that accents can vary from one country to another. Arrival and departure transfers are provided by drivers and do not necessarily include the services of local guides.

ACCOMMODATION (ROOMS AND CABINS)

Note that in European and Mediterranean countries, heating and air conditioning in hotels may be not working in spring and fall, especially October and May. If you have paid a supplement for sea view room, depending on the hotel orientation, please note that sea view can be partial or lateral. Even if there are many restaurants at the hotel, your included meals are always at the main restaurant (unless otherwise stated). Supplements can apply for other restaurants services. Hotels shown in this brochure/Flyer/website are rated according to quality standards in the country where they are located. These standards are sometimes lower than North American standards, because they particularly take into consideration the services available rather than the comfort in the rooms/cabins. Hotels are subject to availability and are confirmed at time of booking; they may be replaced by other rooms/cabins of similar category. Hotel and cruise ship companies assign rooms/cabins available when passengers arrive. Exotik Journeys has no control whatsoever on the size, location or view of rooms/cabins assigned to passengers. Single rooms, outside North America, are usually smaller and not as well located as double rooms. Their number is very limited and they can only be confirmed after booking.

CRUISES

To avoid any disappointment, we would like to inform our clients that, unlike cruises in the Caribbean, where luxury services and accommodation are frequent, cruises in the Mediterranean, Asia, Egypt, Russia should be regarded as the most pleasant and convenient way to visit many sites. In no cases can the ships used be compared with those used in the Caribbean in terms of tonnage, size and number of cabins, service and entertainment on board, etc. Criteria used for ship classification are established on the basis of local standards, which may be lower than North American standards. Moreover, these cruise ship companies use different types of ships to operate cruises.

The choice of ship is their sole responsibility and is done only a few days before departure, without any consultation with us. In the event that the tonnage of your cruise ship is lower than the one indicated in this brochure/Flyer/website, no price change can be made to the cost of the package. Consequently, we cannot guarantee any particular ship in the cruise ship company’s fleet.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

Problem Handling: If you have any questions, queries or problems while at your destination, please contact the hotel or supplier directly. Should you find your accommodation unsuitable, contact the hotel manager or the supplier immediately. Failure to report your concerns may preclude your right to a claim. If you decide to find your own accommodation elsewhere, there will be no refund for the unused portion of your hotel stay. Additional expenses incurred for new accommodation are your responsibility.

HOTEL INFORMATION

SPECIAL NEEDS PASSENGERS AND MEDICAL RECOMMENDATIONS
