Rights and Responsibilities

 

Responsibilities of Mariah Travel

When you book a tour with us, you – and those on whose behalf you are booking – become party to a contract with Mariah Travel and the companies providing the services in your tour package. We take great care in selecting the service suppliers (hotels, ground transportation companies, restaurants, etc.), which together provide the travel services you have purchased. We act solely as agents for these suppliers and exercise no direct control over these independent parties.

 

Mariah Travel is not liable for any claims, losses, damages, costs, expenses, delays or loss of enjoyment of any kind, to you or your group members, resulting from the acts, omissions or negligence of anyone other than Mariah Travel acting properly on your behalf. If the entire program is cancelled for any reason, participants shall have no claim other than a full refund (excluding costs of air travel).

 

Responsibilities of the Tour Participant

All tour participants are expected to obey the laws. Failure to do so will relieve Mariah Travel of any and all obligations it may otherwise have to the offending tour participant. We also reserve the right to exclude a tour participant from all or part of the program, if the participant’s conduct before or after departure appears likely to compromise the safe, comfortable or enjoyable progress of a tour. In such a case, the tour participant forfeits any claims against Mariah Travel.

 

Reserved Right to Discriminate and Deny Services

Our tour programs are built on and seek to realize mutual respect, understanding, dialogue, learning and friendship. Mariah Travel may refuse service to any applicant, registrant or participant whose behavior, in the opinion of Mariah Travel employees or vendors, would likely compromise the comfort and the peaceful enjoyment of the participants on a group tour. In such a case, the offending tour participant forfeits any monetary or legal claims against Mariah Travel. Tour participants are expected to treat tour mates and tour leaders with respect and consideration at all times.
