If due to weather, flight schedules, or other uncontrollable factors, I am required to spend additional nights in the Destination or another location, Under30Experiences will not be responsible for my hotel, transfers, meal costs, or other expenses. My baggage and personal property are transported entirely at my risk.

All participants will be required to sign a mandatory travel waiver to participate in any of our trips.

INCIDENTAL FEES

The purchases made through Under30Experiences do not include incidental expenses, except as specifically described in your itinerary, and you are liable for all such incidental expenses that you incur during, or in anticipation of, your purchased product and/or service. These things may include but are not limited to: airfare to the destination, lunches, incidental expenses, alcohol, and any entrance or departure fees into the destination country.

You agree and acknowledge that in order to participate in any Under30Experience travel insurance is required. The insurance that you obtain must adequately cover you for medical expenses, accidents, property loss, and curtailment or cancellation of your trip. Such insurance is not included with your purchase on the Site. Proof of insurance will be required prior to departure and lack thereof will result in cancellation of participation in Under30Experiences.

It is mandatory that all attendees obtain travel insurance with a minimum coverage of $200,000 USD while traveling with Under30Experiences. Such insurance must cover personal injury, medical expenses, loss of or damage to luggage, repatriation expenses, and evacuation expenses.

TRAVELER SAFETY / EXPULSION

Under30Experiences and Service providers from which you purchase products and/or services reserve the right, in their absolute discretion, to expel attendees whose statements, acts, or omissions threaten the safety of themselves or others, or disrupt the trip in any way. Expelled attendees will not be entitled to a refund, will be responsible for any costs they must incur as a result of such expulsion, including without limitation, replacement accommodations and return travel, and may be subject to liability for any harm or damages arising out of their statements, acts, or omissions. You agree and acknowledge that Under30Experiences and Service providers are under no legal duty to expel attendees and are not responsible for the conduct of attendees.

These Terms do not grant you any rights with respect to the Intellectual Property.

LIABILITY DISCLAIMER

The information, software, products and services published on the Site may include inaccuracies or errors, including pricing errors. In particular, we do not guarantee the accuracy of, and disclaim all liability for any errors or other inaccuracies relating to the information and description of the hotel and other travel products and services displayed on the Site (including, without limitation, the pricing, photographs, list of hotel amenities, general product descriptions, etc.).

If, despite the limitation above, we are found liable for any loss or damage which arises out of or in any way connected with any of the occurrences described above, then our liability will in no event exceed, in the aggregate, the greater of (a) the service fees you paid to us in connection with such transaction(s) on the Site, or (b) One-Hundred Dollars (US$100.00) or the equivalent in local currency.

The limitation of liability reflects the allocation of risk between the parties. The limitations specified in this section will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in these Terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

Booking & Cancellation Policy

If you change or cancel your booking:
Email us with at least 30 or 60 days' notice (depending on the trip) for all departures, and you can switch your trip one time for free or place your Experience Credits on hold. You can find a trip-specific policy on the “Trip Details” page. Please note that cancelations/transfers are not accepted via WhatsApp, social media, or chat boxes. You must email your cancellation/transfer request to bookings@under30experiences.com and we must confirm your request.

If you do not receive a confirmation from us your request is not confirmed. Experience credits are valid for TWO years from the date of issue. After two years, the credits are forfeited. Experience credits have no cash value and are non-refundable under any circumstance. 

When transferring trips or dates, your booking will be bound to the latest version of Under30Experiences Terms & Conditions.

*Please note that some trips have non-refundable permits that we secure on your behalf. In these cases, the permit cost is nontransferable at the time of purchase. Please review the "Trip Details” page of any trip you are looking at for its specific terms.*

*Coupon codes and/or promotional prices are not transferable. You will be responsible for any price difference when transferring to a different trip.*

24-Hour Booking Guarantee
Under30Experiences provides a full refund with no questions asked if the request is made within 24 hours of your booking. So go ahead, jump on that deal now, and ask questions (to your boss) later!

Experience Credits are Giftable
Can't travel with us for the foreseeable future? You can give the gift of travel to your friends and family. Experience Credits are 100% transferable!

Please note that only Experience Credits equivalent to the value of your original payment are transferable. Earned Experience Credits are non-transferrable in all forms. Earned Experience Credits can include but are not limited to our referral program, community programs, contests, events, customer service, and other rewards. 

*Gifted credits are non-refundable, even in the event that we cancel the departure. Any departure booked with gifted credits can be canceled and transferred to another departure one-time. After that, the credits are forfeited.*

The person receiving gifted or transferred credits is responsible for knowing the credits expiration date. The expiration date is the original date of expiration.

Emergency Cancelation within 30 or 60 days: 
To cancel a trip that is not within our cancelation period, please refer to your travel insurance policy.

Your travel insurance may cover reimbursement if you cancel your trip due to a last-minute emergency. You'll need to consult your travel insurance company directly for specific details.

We cannot transfer or hold any credits within the cancelation period of 30 or 60 days before your trip, depending on the trip's cancellation policy.

Forced Trip Suspension Policy
When we are forced to cancel a trip due to situations outside our control, we are unable to issue refunds. In this case, we will offer travelers 100% credit of the price paid for the trip, valid for use toward any future trip.

A “force majure” event includes but is not limited to natural disasters, political unrest, and pandemics. We only cancel trips when there are major disruptions to our itineraries, or when local authorities, or when the US Department of State issues a "Level 4 Do Not Travel Warning” to a country.

Please understand that when you book a trip with us, your money goes directly to vendors abroad who do not offer refunds in these cases. The money is held with them to be used for future travelers; thus, we cannot provide refunds.

Other Cancellation Notes: 
You are strongly advised to take out cancellation insurance at the time of booking. If you do not participate in the trip, join it after it has started, or choose to leave before it concludes, you will not receive reimbursement. This includes missed flights, delays, injury, illness, and quarantine due to infectious disease during the trip. In these cases, please consult your travel insurance company to cover expenses.

If you put a deposit down on a trip, and do not pay in full by the required date, your trip will be forfeited and no credits will be issued, unless you email us to put your credits on hold or transfer to another trip.
