6: Changes and Cancellation by Peru Best Tours

Whilst Peru Best Tours will use its best endeavors to operate all tours as advertised, by entering into this contract the Client accepts that it may prove necessary or advisable to vary or modify a tour itinerary or its contents due to prevailing local conditions. Peru Best Tours reserves the right  at  any  time  to  cancel  or  change  any  of  the  facilities,  services  or  prices  (including  flights, accommodation  or  other  arrangements)  and  to  substitute  alternative  arrangements  of  comparable monetary value without compensation and accepts no liability for loss of enjoyment as a result of these changes.

When a major change is made the Client will have the choice of accepting the change of arrangements, purchasing any other available tour or canceling the tour and obtaining a full refund. Provided that the major change is not because of force majeure.

Force majeure is war, threat of war, riots, civil strife, industrial dispute, terrorist activities, natural or nuclear disaster, fire or adverse weather conditions, technical or maintenance problems with transport, changes imposed by cancellation or rescheduling of flights by an airline, the alteration of airline or aircraft type, or other similar events beyond the control of Peru Best Tours.

Peru Best Tours is not liable for any charges in the event of a change -beyond their control- to the departure time or date of a tour, flight or other form of transport.

7: Surcharges

Peru Best Tours reserves the right to increase the tour cost to take account of the following items: government action, currency, transportation costs, including the cost of fuel, overflying charges, airport charges and increase in scheduled air fares.

If the surcharge results in an increase of more than 10% of the tour cost, the Client may cancel the booking within 7 days notification of the surcharge and obtain a full refund. No surcharge will be imposed within 45 days of departure.

8: Passport, Visa and Vaccinations

It is the responsibility of the Client to be in possession of a valid passport, visa permits, inoculations and preventive medicines as may be required for the duration of the tour. Information about these matters or related items is given in good faith but without responsibility on the part of Peru Best Tours.

9: Age, Fitness and Participation

All Clients are expected to satisfy themselves prior to booking that they are fit and able to complete the itinerary of their choosing. No unaccompanied minors (those under 18 years of age) can be accepted on tours operated by Peru Best Tours, however older teenagers may be considered provided they are accompanied by a parent or guardian who accepts full responsibility for them. Peru Best Tours reserves the absolute right to decline a booking at their discretion. Clients agree to accept the authority and decisions of Peru Best Tours´ employees, tour leaders and agents, whilst on the tour with Peru Best Tours. If in the opinion of such person the health or conduct of a Client before or after departure appears likely to endanger the safe, comfortable or happy progress of a tour, the Client may be excluded from all or part of the tour. In case of ill health Peru Best Tours may make such arrangements as it sees fit and recover the costs thereof from the Client.

11: Local laws

All participants in tours operated by Peru Best Tours are expected to obey the laws and regulations of the countries visited and any failure to do so will relieve Peru Best Tours of all obligations that they may otherwise have under these booking conditions.

12: Illness or disability

Anyone suffering from illness or disability or undergoing treatment for any physical or medical condition must declare the true nature of such condition at the time of booking and make arrangements for the provision of any medication or other treatment which may be required during the tour. Failure to make such disclosure will constitute a breach of these booking conditions and result in such persons being excluded from the tour in which case all monies paid will be forfeit.
If the chosen holiday includes a cruise or excursion or transfer by boat of any sort the Client must make it known at the time of booking if he/she is unable to swim. This will not prevent the Client from participating in the tour but will enable Peru Best Tours to take additional precautions for the Client’s safety at such times as may be appropriate.

13: If the Client has a Complaint

If the Client has a complaint about any of the tour arrangements he/she must bring it to the attention of the tour leader or other representative of Peru Best Tours at the time so that they may use their best endeavors to rectify the situation. It is only if Peru Best Tours made aware of any problems that there will be the opportunity to put things right.

Failure to complain on the spot will result in the Client’s ability to claim compensation from Peru Best Tours being extinguished or at least reduced. Should the problem remain unsolved a complaint must be made in writing to Peru Best Tours within 28 days of the completion of the holiday.

14: Flight Bookings

• Peru Best Tours will use its best endeavors to ensure that all flight prices are correct at the time that they are quoted. Airlines reserve the right to amend or withdraw fares without prior notice. Once a deposit is paid on an airfare, it guarantees that a booking is being held for you, it DOES NOT GUARANTEE the fare. The fare can only be guaranteed when the flight booking has been paid for in full and a ticket has been issued. Flight bookings cannot be transferred.

• The flight times given by Peru Best Tours are for general guidance only and are subject to change. Up-to-date flight times will be shown on the tickets. The Client must check the tickets very carefully immediately upon receipt of the latest timings. Peru Best Tours will endeavor to inform the Client as soon as possible in the event of any flight alteration. Details of airlines are also subject to change. Such alterations do not constitute a significant change to the holiday arrangements and will therefore not be entitled to cancel without paying the normal charges as a result.

• Peru Best Tours cannot be held responsible for any delay to your flight whether this delay is caused by adverse weather conditions, the action of air traffic controllers, airport authorities or (local) governments, the rescheduling of flight times by the airline, mechanical breakdown, strike, industrial action or any other reason.

15: Our responsibility

• Peru Best Tours cannot guarantee the accuracy of any hotel, resort or other leaflet which is not published by them but may be supplied as an additional service to the Client.

• Peru Best Tours accepts responsibility for ensuring that the holiday which the Client books with them is supplied as described in the final version of the travel program the Client will receive upon arrival and the services reach a reasonable standard.

• Peru Best Tours acts only in the capacity of an agent upon the legal conditions that, while exercising every possible precaution, it is not  responsible  for injury, sickness, damage, loss, additional expenses, accidental  delay, or other irregularities which may be caused either through willful or  negligent acts or omissions made by the companies or individuals providing or engaged in transportation, accommodation or other services related to the accomplishment of the tour, or through natural disasters, social upheavals or other causes.
