RESPONSIBILITY:
Booking a trip (the "Trip") with Campus Vacations Inc. ("CV") involves the entering into of an agreement between the signor of this Reservation Form (hereinafter, the "Traveler") and an independent traveling tour operator (the "Operator"). CV acts only as an agent to the Traveler and, as such, the responsibility of CV and/or its agents are limited to that of an agent in law. As agent, CV assumes no liability for injury, damage, loss, accident, delay or irregularity arising out of any Trip arrangements which may be altered and/or cancelled by the Operator. CV cannot and will not assume responsibility or liability for any claims, loss or delay, disappointment, distress or frustration whether physical or mental resulting from any act or omission by CV, their employees, or any person collaborating with them. All Trip services, including but not limited to transportation, lodging, activities and events, are furnished by the Operator with such Operator acting on its own behalf and not on behalf of CV. CV endeavors to choose the most reputable Operators, but maintains no control over the personnel, equipment, operations or goods of the said Operator and therefore cannot be held responsible for any act or omissions on the Operator's behalf. All travel services are subject to conditions supposed by the Operator and their liability may be limited. On this basis, CV encourages each Traveler to verify such conditions directly with the Operator. It is imperative that each Traveler understands all terms and conditions imposed by the Operator prior to making any travel commitments. On behalf of the Operator, CV reserves the right to decline any Traveler as a member of any Trip at any time. The Traveler agrees to comply with any reasonable instructions issued by CV relating to the Trip in which the Traveler has enrolled. CV reserves the right to cancel or alter any travel services herein presented, at its sole discretion. In the event that an acceptable alternative Trip cannot be found, CV agrees to refund all monies paid to CV. CV will not be held responsible for Trip cancellations and delays both wholly and partially as a result of adverse weather conditions, political unrest and/or acts of god. CV encourages all Travelers to purchase travel insurance to protect themselves from such risks. By booking a Trip with CV, the Traveler hereby represents that they are not a minor, are at least the age of majority and have the legal capacity to use this website and to create binding legal obligations for any liability that the Traveler may incur.
ADMISSIBILITY INTO FOREIGN COUNTRIES:
DOCUMENTATION
It is the Traveler's responsibility to determine which documents are required for travel outside their country of origin. In the event that the Traveler does not obtain the required documents, the Traveler will be denied boarding by the carrier or refused entry into the country of destination. Entry to a country of destination may be refused even if the required information and travel documents are complete. No refunds will be made should boarding or entry be denied because of insufficient or lost documents. In such an event, all costs associated with the denial of entry into a country of destination, or the return to the original departure point, shall be borne by the Traveler. Travelers traveling outside their country of origin who are under 18 years of age may require a notarized letter of permission to travel. It is the responsibility of the Traveler to determine the Traveler's home country travel requirements in this regard. CV assumes no responsibility or liability for any claims, loss or delay, disappointment, distress or frustration whether physical or mental resulting from such denial or refusal into any country of destination.

All Surcharges vary in accordance with the type of Trip to be booked. CV assumes no responsibility or liability for any such Surcharge.
