BTS Travel and
Tours (herein “Travel Agency”) is acting as a mere agent for
SUPPLIERS (identified on the accompanying documents) in selling
travel-related services or in accepting reservations or bookings
for services that are not directly supplied by this Travel Agency
(such as air and ground transportation, hotel accommodations,
meals, tours, cruises, etc.). Travel Agency, therefore, shall not
be responsible for breach of contract, failure to comply with any
laws or any intentional or negligent actions or omissions on the
part of such suppliers, which result in any loss, damage, delay,
inconvenience or injury to travellers or travellers’ companions
or group members. Unless the term “guaranteed” is specifically
stated in writing on your tickets, invoice or reservation
itinerary, Travel Agency does not guarantee any of such supplier’s
rates, bookings, reservations, connections, scheduling or handling
of baggage or other personal effects. Travel Agency shall not be
responsible for any injuries, damages or losses caused to any
traveller in connection with terrorist activities, social or
labour unrest, mechanical or construction failures or
difficulties, diseases, local laws, climatic conditions, abnormal
conditions or developments, or any other actions, omissions or
conditions outside the travel agent’s control. Traveller assumes
complete and full responsibility for, and hereby releases the
agent from, any duty of checking and verifying any and all
passport, visa, vaccination or other entry requirements of each
destination, and all safety and security conditions of such
destinations, during the length of the proposed travel. However,
we specifically recommend that Canadian citizens travelling to the
United States, Mexico or the Caribbean, do so with a valid
Canadian passport. For information concerning possible dangers at
international destinations, including medical information, contact
the Consular Affairs Bureau of the Department of Foreign Affairs
and International Trade at 1-800-267-6788, or online at www.voyage.gc.ca/consular_home-en.asp.
By embarking upon his/her travel, the traveller voluntarily
assumes all risks involved in such travel, whether expected or
unexpected. Traveller is hereby warned of the above risks as well
as possible travel industry bankruptcies and medical and climatic
disruptions, and the possibility that traveller may be unable to
travel as scheduled because of personal emergency.
Traveller is
advised to obtain appropriate insurance coverage against these
risks; information is available through this Travel Agency
regarding travel insurance. Traveller’s retention of tickets,
reservations or bookings after issuance shall constitute a consent
to the above and an agreement on his/her part to convey the
contents hereto to his/her travel companions or group members.
Travel Agency is not responsible for disruptions of any kind,
including weather, carrier or supplier logistical problems. |
