PASSPORTS. Everyone, including children and infants, must have a valid passport
book to travel internationally (not the Passport Card). Failure to comply will result in
denial of boarding, no refund, no exceptions. TRAVEL WITH WENDY B is not
responsible for passports in any way. Passports are required to be valid for at least
six (6) months from Your return date. Many countries require that Your passport

check on Your passport validity. If Your passport expires within six (6) months of
Your flight home, or if it does not have enough blank pages, please be sure to get it
renewed before Your trip to avoid being denied boarding. The rates We provide are
for passengers carrying a US passport. Hotels reserve the right to change the rates
for passengers booking a US rate but checking in with a non-US passport. Citizens
of other countries require a valid passport and may also require additional
documents. Such persons should contact consulates of countries to be visited and
obtain proper documents before departure. The possession of required and valid
passport and visas is the sole responsibility of the passenger(s). Air travelers with
identification (ID) that does not meet the REAL ID ACT requirements will have to use
alternate ID forms (passport, military ID, or permanent resident card) to pass TSA
security checkpoints—even for domestic travel. Please visit www.travel.state.gov or
https://www.dhs.gov/real-id for the most updated requirements for travel
documentation. Visas are required when they apply. Travelers voluntarily assume
full and sole responsibility for any and all risks and/or costs involved with failure to
report any errors and/or omissions to documentation.
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS & REQUIRMENTS FOR FOREIGN ENTRY. Passenger(s)
assumes sole responsibility to independently confirm all documentation
requirements for all passport, visa, inoculations, or other entry and/or travel
requirements of each destination. Passenger(s) assumes sole responsibility for, and
hereby releases TRAVEL WITH WENDY B from any claims or responsibility for any
and all damages incurred as a result of Passenger’s failure to comply with
applicable documentation requirements, including but not limited the requirement
that all Passengers procure, and have on their person the proper travel documents
at all times. TRAVEL WITH WENDY B recommends the Passengers consult with the
appropriate domestic and foreign governmental agencies for the current document
requirements. By agreeing to TRAVEL WITH WENDY B Terms & Conditions, you are
authorizing TRAVEL WITH WENDY B and its agents to accept the passenger contract
and all terms associated with Your reservation as received by TRAVEL WITH WENDY

fees, affidavits, immunizations, etc. that are required to be permitted entry into
each destination. In some countries you may be subject to entry (reciprocity) fees
and/or departure taxes/ exit fees which will be collected at the airports upon
entry/departure by local government authorities. Please note that entry to any
country may be refused even if the required information and travel documents are
complete or if Passenger(s) have a criminal history, even if expunged. Please inform
Us prior to booking with Us if this applies to You and seek separate legal counsel to
confirm Your ability to travel to your desired destination. TRAVEL WITH WENDY B is
not responsible or liable to You for any losses, expenses, or refunds to You, or
anyone on Your booking(s) for you being refused or denied entry in any way.
The Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) is a free service provided by the U.S.
Government to U.S. citizens who are traveling to, or living in, a foreign country.
STEP allows you to enter information about your upcoming trip abroad so that the
Department of State can better assist you in an emergency. Registration is
recommended and provided by going to https://step.state.gov/step/. Further,
certain countries restrict travelers with criminal convictions, even if expunged.
Please inform us prior to booking with us if this applies to you and seek separate
legal counsel to confirm your ability to travel to your desired destination. If you are
denied access to a country or a Supplier due to a conviction, TRAVEL WITH WENDY
B shall not be liable for any losses, expenses, or refunds to you or anyone in your
group.
Recommended inoculations for travel may change and You should consult with
your medical practitioner for current recommendations before You depart. It is
Your sole responsibility to ensure the You meet all health entry requirements,
obtain the recommended inoculations, take all recommended medication(s), and
follow all medical advice in relation to Your travel. Inoculation requirements can be
found on the Center for Disease Control website at: http://www.cdc.gov.
Air travelers with identification (ID) that does not meet the REAL ID ACT
requirements will have to use alternate ID forms (passport, military ID, or
permanent resident card) to pass Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”)
security checkpoints—even for domestic travel. Please visit www.travel.state.gov or
https://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/acceptable-ids for the most updated
requirements for travel documentation. Visas are required when they apply. U.S.
citizens traveling to the United Kingdom (UK) for short visits, tourism, or business,
including those just passing through UK airports, will need an Electronic Travel
Authorization (ETA) if they do not have a UK visa or legal residency in the UK or the
Republic of Ireland. You can find out if your international destination requires a visa
and how to apply at https://www.usa.gov/visas-citizens-traveling-abroad. Travelers
voluntarily assume full and sole responsibility for any and all risks and/or costs
involved with failure to report any errors and/or omissions to documentation.
You acknowledge any failure to strictly comply with these requirements may result
in denied boarding, or an undue delay at an airport security checkpoint causing You
or another passenger traveling with you to miss flight(s), and subsequent scheduled
travel bookings. TRAVEL WITH WENDY B bears no responsibility for advising and/or
obtaining required travel documentation for You, or for any delays, damages,
and/or losses, including missed portions of Your travel plans related to improper
documentation or government decisions about entry.
BOOKING ACCURACY/LEGAL NAMES.: Passenger(s) is required to verify the
accuracy of each legal passport first, middle & last names and date of birth listed on
the invoice and travel documents. It is mandatory that passenger names be
identical to the names as they appear on passports, booking and travel documents.
Penalties associated with name changes are the sole responsibility of the
passenger(s). Passenger(s) is required to immediately review all aspects of their
booking to verify (but not limited to): passenger names, mailing address, email
address, telephone number, date of birth, pricing, airfare, arrival/departure
airports, accommodations, and organized activities on Your booking receipt. Please
review Your booking confirmation thoroughly and notify TRAVEL WITH WENDY B
within 24 hours of deposit if any omissions and/or corrections are needed
regarding the booking details. Passenger(s) voluntarily assumes full & sole
responsibility for any, and all risks and/or costs involved with failure to report such
errors and/or omissions within 24 hours of booking.
PAYMENTS. Planning travel takes hours of preparation and work, well in advance
of Your departure date. As travel planning professionals, TRAVEL WITH WENDY B
charges a planning fee for the work We do to plan Your trip. This planning fee is
always non-refundable and is due before We begin planning Your trip. Many
Suppliers require payment at or near the time of booking. We therefore require a
deposit to book Your reservation. TRAVEL WITH WENDY B may hold reservations
until the deposit due date. If deposit/payment is not received by TRAVEL WITH
WENDY B on or before the deposit due date, reservations are automatically
cancelled, and prices are always subject to change. Failure to remit final payments
on or before the final payment date will automatically put Your booking at risk of
cancellation and will result in a minimum $100 late fee. Bookings not paid within
seven (7) days of the final payment date will automatically cancel and all payments
will be forfeited, and You will be subject to our cancellation policy as set forth below
in the clause titled “Cancellation Policies”. Please contact Us immediately, and in
advance of Your payment due date, if You will be unable to meet this obligation.
Without limitation, Passenger(s) agree to voluntarily hold TRAVEL WITH WENDY B
harmless for cancellation of any booking for either late payment or declination of a
credit card. Payments are only accepted through Our online payment system.
Payments are never automatic unless pre-authorized through Our system. We
cannot take phone payments, checks, bank transfers or any other method of
payment.
While Our Suppliers do accept major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard,
American Express and Discover, Passenger(s) must provide to Us a signed or click
credit card charge authorization agreement for every transaction for Your trip. Your
authorization is a binding agreement for Us to charge Your card and an
acknowledgement and agreement to these Terms and Conditions including the
cancellation terms. As such, You agree not to make any improper chargebacks.
In certain cases, You have the ability to dispute charges with credit card companies
(“chargebacks”). Before initiating a chargeback, We ask You first to call Us to discuss
any questions or concerns about any charge. We will work with You in attempting
to resolve Your concerns. By using our service to make a reservation, You accept
and agree to our cancellation policy. TRAVEL WITH WENDY B retains the right to
dispute any chargeback that is improper and recover any costs, including attorneys’
fees related to improper chargebacks. Additionally, in the event of an improper
chargeback, We retain the right to cancel any travel reservation related to that
improper chargeback. The following chargeback scenarios are improper, and We
retain the right to investigate and rebut any such chargeback claims:
Chargebacks resulting from non-cancellable reservations, whether or not the
reservation is used.
Chargebacks resulting from charges authorized by family, friends, associates
or other third parties with direct access to Your credit card. This does not
include credit card fraud.
Chargebacks arising from inconsistency or inaccuracy with regard to the
supplier’s product description.
Chargebacks resulting from force majeure or other circumstances that are
beyond the control of TRAVEL WITH WENDY B or the supplier.
Chargebacks resulting because You do not agree with the cancellation policy.
PRICING. The price listed on your quote, itinerary, or on our website is based on
known costs at the date of issue of the itinerary, quote or posting to Our website.
All prices we advertise are accurate at the date published, subject to any
unintentional errors, but we reserve the right to change any of those prices at any
time. Pricing and availability may change without notice. TRAVEL WITH WENDY B
reserves the right to charge Passenger(s) for any increase in taxes, fees, or
surcharges (i.e., fuel). Passenger(s) acknowledge this right and agree to pay any
such additional taxes, fees, and surcharges assessed by the Supplier(s). At the time
of booking confirmation, we will provide you with information on the current
pricing and particular inclusions. Prices and availability quoted by TRAVEL WITH
WENDY B are never guaranteed until deposit is fully paid, and even then, pricing is
still subject to change based on local taxes and fees that may change prior to your
travel. Passenger(s) agrees that TRAVEL WITH WENDY B is not responsible for any
errors or omissions in any quotes, advertisements, including on Our website,
resulting in inventory, content, or pricing discrepancies nor is TRAVEL WITH WENDY
B responsible for any errors or omissions that may occur as a result of incorrect
information from third parties or Suppliers. Suppliers reserve the right not to honor
any published prices that it determines were in error. You acknowledge this right
and agree to hold TRAVEL WITH WENDY B harmless for any actions or damages
arising from Supplier pricing.
REVISION POLICIES. Any change made to an itinerary or a reservation once
finalized will incur a minimum non-refundable $100 per person Revision Fee in
addition to any increase in trip cost. All revision requests must be in writing and
sent to Your TRAVEL WITH WENDY B agent by email. Your revision will be confirmed
via email if, and when it is processed. Revisions are based on availability, subject to
Supplier approval and are not guaranteed. Since changes may be considered
cancelled services, additional cancellation penalties may apply from any Supplier(s).
Changes are always subject to additional Supplier charges and are always based on
availability. Changes to airfare are subject to the air carrier’s terms and conditions.
CANCELLATION POLICIES. All cancellations are subject to a $150 PER PERSON
cancellation fee to TRAVEL WITH WENDY B in addition to any applicable Supplier
cancellation fees. All Suppliers have their own cancellation policies, which apply to
Your booking. If You are ever curious about the Supplier’s cancellation policies,
please refer to the Supplier’s terms and conditions, or inquire with Us prior to
booking with Us. Should a cancellation become necessary, please inform Your
TRAVEL WITH WENDY B agent immediately in writing by email and request a written
confirmation of Your cancellation. If You are entitled to a refund, please note that
the supplier is responsible for this refund, not TRAVEL WITH WENDY B. Generally,
flight tickets, hotel reservation and other items provided for the travel cannot be
refunded. We are not responsible for a Supplier’s failure to pay a refund, or for
supplier bankruptcy or insolvency.
If the reason for Your cancellation is covered under the terms of Your travel
protection insurance plan, You may be able to reclaim these charges, for this
reason we strongly encourage the purchase of a travel protection plan
including additional cancel for any reason coverage.
REFUND POLICY. All deposits and payments, including Our planning fee, made to
or through TRAVEL WITH WENDY B are non-refundable. TRAVEL WITH WENDY B is
required to pay all suppliers well in advance of Your trip date. Because We strictly
adhere to Our cancellation and refund policy, Travel Protection/Insurance is
strongly encouraged. If Travel Protection/Insurance has been declined, there are no
refunds for changes or cancellations and TRAVEL WITH WENDY B will have no
further liability to You. If Travel Protection/Insurance has been purchased, refunds
are subject to the insurance policy and subject to a minimum non-refundable $100
per person fee imposed by TRAVEL WITH WENDY B.
TRAVEL WITH WENDY B shall not offer or provide refunds for any unused portion of
any travel booking with Us. If you cancel while Your trip is in progress, there is no
refund for the unused portion (or any portion of your travel).
TRAVEL PROTECTION/INSURANCE. Travel Protection/Insurance is strongly
recommended. As Your travel agent, We have a professional responsibility to
recommend the purchase of Travel Protection/Insurance to protect both You and
Your vacation. Such a plan, at a minimum, should cover Trip Cancellation or
Interruption, Cancel for Any Reason, Medical Expense, Emergency
Evacuation/Repatriation, and Baggage. Travel Protection/Insurance plans can help
protect You in the event of loss of non-refundable trip deposits and payments that
result from cancellation or trip interruption (due to a covered reason such as injury
or illness before or during the trip) and can also help with reimbursement for
medical emergency costs (including very costly medical evacuation costs), missed
connections and baggage loss. While We may be able to offer some coverage
through the tour operator/supplier We use to book Your trip, there are other third-
party insurance providers for You to consult with. This responsibility rests solely
with each Passenger and We advise You to do Your research and find coverage that
best fits Your individual needs. TRAVEL WITH WENDY B is limited to advising You of
the need for such coverage and is not qualified to answer technical questions about
the benefits, exclusions, and conditions of travel protection/insurance plans.
TRAVEL WITH WENDY B cannot evaluate the adequacy of the prospective insured’s
existing insurance coverage. If You have any questions about Your Travel
Protection/Insurance, please call Your insurer or insurance agent or broker. All
claims must be filed with the insurance provider by You and are reviewed,
accepted, or declined at the sole decision and discretion of the insurance provider
and not TRAVEL WITH WENDY B.
Certain countries have a requirement for foreign visitors to have valid medical
insurance on entry. TRAVEL WITH WENDY B cannot be held responsible for denied
entry if any Passenger(s) is unable to provide details to authorities of insurance or
denial of entry for any reason. Declining travel protection/insurance plan coverage
could result in the loss of Your travel cost and/or require more money to correct
the situation. You also acknowledge that without this coverage, there may be no
way to recoup any losses, costs or expenses incurred. If You choose to travel
without adequate coverage, We will not be liable for any of Your losses
howsoever arising, for which travel protection plan coverage would otherwise
have been available.
CHANGES AND CANCELLATION BY THE SUPPLIER. We will inform You as soon as
reasonably possible if a Supplier needs to make a significant change to Your
confirmed booking or to cancel. We will also liaise between You and the supplier in
relation to any alternative arrangements offered by the operator, but We will have
no further liability to You.If between the initial planning stages and/or during your actual travel,
circumstances require changes, TRAVEL WITH WENDY B and the Suppliers, reserve
the right to cancel or vary any itinerary and substitute travel components of any
travel plans, including, but not limited to hotels and accommodations of
comparable quality, if air schedule or surface transportation changes, security
matters, and/or other events make such alterations necessary. Suppliers may
substitute transportation equipment depending on a variety of factors, including
the volume of passengers traveling, or availability. During local or national holidays,
certain facilities such as museums, sightseeing trips and shopping may be limited
or unavailable. In such instances itinerary changes are made by suppliers seeking to
reduce inconvenience to Travelers. Such changes are deemed not to be a major
change, and no compensation will be payable to Travelers. Holidays, closing days
and other circumstances may necessitate a change of the day of the week for
scheduled regional meals, sightseeing or other activities. If You feel Your enjoyment
might be diminished by any of these circumstances, please check with the
respective national tourist office before selecting a specific departure date.
FORCE MAJEURE.TRAVEL WITH WENDY B assumes no liability for, any loss, damage,
delay, or cancellation resulting in whole or in part from an Act of God or any other
force majeure condition, including, without limitation: fire, volcanic eruption,
hurricane, environmental pollution or contamination, inclement weather,
earthquake, low or high water levels, flood, water or power shortages or failures,
tropical storms or hurricanes, riots or civil commissions or disturbances, and any
other acts of a similar nature, sabotage, arrests, strikes or labor disruptions,
restraint of rulers or peoples, expropriations, acts of terrorism, war, insurrection,
quarantine restrictions, government health advisories, epidemics, pandemics, or
warnings or alerts of any kind of nature, government seizures, refusal or
cancellation or suspension or delay of any government authority or any license,
permit or authorization, damages to its facilities or the travel supplier and its
facilities, or any other unforeseen circumstances or any other factors unforeseen
by TRAVEL WITH WENDY B that impacts negatively on, or hampers, its ability to
fulfill any of its contractual conditions. In the circumstances amounting to force
majeure, We will not be required to refund any money to You, although if We can
recover any monies from Our Suppliers, We will refund these to You without any
charge by TRAVEL WITH WENDY B.
ASSUMPTION OF RISK & WAIVER. Traveler is aware that travel to some areas as
traveler is undertaking may involve inherent risks, some in more remote areas of
the world. Inherent risks include, but are not limited to, risk of injury or death from:
motor vehicles collisions, animals, roadway hazards, slips, and falls, criminal or

unknown or unanticipated risks may result in injury, illness, or death. In order to
partake of the enjoyment and excitement of booked travel, traveler is willing to
accept the risks and uncertainty involved as being an integral part of travel,
including the risk of infection, illness, and death. TRAVELER HEREBY ACCEPTS AND
ASSUMES FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY AND ALL RISKS OF ILLNESS, INJURY OR
DEATH AND OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF TRAVEL WITH WENDY B AND AGREES TO AND
SHALL HOLD HARMLESS AND FULLY RELEASE TRAVEL BY WENDY B, AND ITS
REPRESENTATIVES FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR TRAVEL,
INCLUDING ANY CLAIMS OF THIRD PARTY NEGLIGENCE AND/OR THE NEGLIGENCE
OF TRAVEL WITH WENDY B AND/OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES, AND TRAVELER HEREBY

FOR ANY SUCH CLAIMS OR JOIN ANY LAWSUIT OR ACTION THAT IS SUING TRAVEL
WITH WENDY B. THIS AGREEMENT ALSO BINDS YOUR HEIRS, LEGAL
REPRESENTATIVES, AND ASSIGNS. THE TERMS OF THIS HOLD HARMLESS AND
RELEASE OF ALL LIABILITY PARAGRAPH, SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OR

AIRFARE.
Airline tickets are highly restrictive, non-refundable, and non-transferable.
Modification of passenger names, dates, times, routings, or departure/arrival
airports is at the sole discretion of the airline and, if permitted, will likely be subject
to a substantial change fee. Passenger(s) is responsible for any such fees. With
regard to the purchase of air tickets, TRAVEL WITH WENDY B acts simply as an
intermediary between You and the airline. Once You book a reservation, Your credit
card or debit card will be charged for the amount shown – regardless of whether or
not the reservation is used. Credit will not be given for any unused airline tickets
and cannot be used toward any future bookings.
All tickets will be issued for economy class unless otherwise specified. All travel will
be round-trip unless otherwise specified. Seat assignments are subject to the
airline’s policies and may not be able to be made until You are at the airport on the
day of departure. Airline tickets booked through TRAVEL WITH WENDY B may not
be eligible to earn frequent flyer miles. You agree to confirm all bookings with the
airline prior to the stated date of departure (TRAVEL WITH WENDY B recommends
confirming 72 hours and 24 hours prior).
TRAVEL WITH WENDY B’s responsibilities in respect to air travel are limited by the
relevant airline’s conditions of carriage. The airline fulfilling Your contract for
carriage may change from the airline mentioned by TRAVEL WITH WENDY B.
TRAVEL WITH WENDY B is not able to specify the type of aircraft to be used by any
airline. If an airline cancels or delays a flight, You must work directly with the airline
to ensure You arrive at Your destination on or ahead of time. TRAVEL WITH WENDY
B will not provide any refund for trips missed, in part or full.
Where a ticket is purchased and used in violation of the airline’s rules, TRAVEL WITH
WENDY B and the applicable air carrier have the right in their sole discretion to take
all actions permitted by law. Please review the airline’s policy located on their
website.
Each airline has its own policy regarding luggage. We recommend that You check
with Your airline ahead of time for any weight restrictions and additional charges
relating to checked baggage. Luggage fees are not included with Your travel
package. You will be responsible for paying to the airline any additional charges for
checked overweight baggage, including, but not limited to, golf bags and oversized
luggage. If You exceed the weight limit set by Your airline, and excess weight is
permitted, You must pay a supplement directly to the airline at the airport.
The airline is liable to You for the baggage You entrust to it only for the
compensation contemplated in the international conventions and relevant statutes.
In the event of damage, late forwarding, theft, or loss of luggage, You should
contact the airline and declare the damage, absence, or loss of Your personal
effects before leaving the airport, and then submit a declaration, attaching the
originals of the following documents: the travel ticket, the baggage check-in slip,
and the declaration.
Baggage and personal effects are at all times the sole responsibility of the
Passenger(s). Due to continual changes in airline baggage and seat selection
policies, it is suggested that you inquire with your airline’s website for up-to-date
fees and information. TRAVEL BY WENDY B is NOT responsible for additional fees
incurred for baggage and seating assignments.
DISCLAIMER. Your contract for airfare is with the air carrier, inclusive of domestic,
international and charter flights, and subject to its terms, conditions and policies
and we will not be liable for any fees or expenses, including without limitation,
change fees, cancellation fees or any other additional costs you incur with the air
carrier. For charter trips/flights, please be aware the charter operator can legally
change, with limited notice, departure times up to forty-eight (48) hours, and flights
advertised as non-stop may be changed to make intermediate stops. Suppliers can
substitute types of aircraft and even airlines and are generally not responsible for
baggage delays/losses and have very stiff cancellation penalties. In addition,
frequent flyer miles may or may not be accrued and advance seat assignments are
frequently not available. TRAVEL BY WENDY B is not responsible or liable for any
costs incurred with any changes resulting from any flights.
RE-CONFIRM YOUR FLIGHT. We advise you personally to re-confirm your flight
schedule within twenty-four (24) hours prior to departure with the airline directly in
case of any last-minute changes or delays. Most airlines allow you to check in online
twenty-four (24) hours prior to departure. It is recommended that you arrive at the
airport a minimum of two (2) hours prior to departure for domestic flights, and
three (3) hours for international flights.
TRAVEL WITH WENDY B strongly recommends that You obtain a Travel
Protection/Insurance policy covering the value of Your items. TRAVEL WITH WENDY
B is in no way liable for damages arising from or related to any airline timetable
changes, delays, cancellations, missed connections, mechanical problems,
inclement weather, seating assignments, lost/delayed baggage, screening, and
security delays, refused boarding, failure to check-in properly or failure to provide
acceptable identification.
ACCOMMODATIONS AND ACTIVITIES. Accommodations are defined as lodgings in
a dwelling or similar living quarters afforded to passengers including, but not
limited to, hotels, condos, quarters in cruise ships, motels, time shares,
campgrounds, and resorts.
Accommodation classifications – The number of stars attributed to the hotels and
other providers of accommodations quoted by TRAVEL WITH WENDY B correspond
to a classification established as a point of reference in accordance with local
standards in the host country. Please be advised that accommodations and the
“star” designations may vary from country to country. The comments We make in
our descriptions are based on Our knowledge of the establishments and the
comments We have received from customers. TRAVEL WITH WENDY B makes no
guarantee about the suitability or availability of accommodations, and if the
particular accommodations sought are unavailable, We will do Our best to reserve
comparable accommodations, if possible. However, You would bear any additional
costs for upgrading the room or property. We reserve the right, for technical
reasons, in cases of force majeure or actions by third parties, to replace the
planned hotel with accommodation of the same category offering equivalent
services. This would only be in exceptional circumstances and in such cases, We will
inform You as soon as We are aware of this necessity.
Taking possession of and vacating Your room – Policies regarding taking possession
of and vacating rooms often vary by hotel and/or country, so it is Your responsibility
to check with the hotel ahead of time to verify the relevant policies and times.
TRAVEL WITH WENDY B is not responsible for any charges and damages resulting
from Your failure to timely take possession or vacate Your room. Typical check in
time is 4pm and check out time is 12pm but varies based on the Supplier’s terms
and conditions. Early possession or late vacation of Your room may result in fees
charged by the hotel and are at the hotel’s sole discretion and paid entirely by You.
Types of room – Room classifications and amenities vary by hotel and/or country,
so it is Your responsibility to check with the hotel ahead of time to verify the specific
amenities offered at the time of Your stay. We do our best to keep You informed,
but TRAVEL WITH WENDY B makes no guarantee that its descriptions and
photographs are an exact representation of the particular rooms offered. Special
requests, such as bedding preferences and room location can be communicated to
the hotel prior to Your arrival, but these requests are up to the hotel to honor.
TRAVEL WITH WENDY B is in no way responsible for granting or confirming special
requests like this.
Activities offered during Your stay – An activity may not be appropriate for all ages
or for individuals with certain medical conditions or abilities. TRAVEL WITH WENDY
B may not be held liable in the event of an incident or accident which is due to a
lack of vigilance on Your part. It may happen that certain activities are no longer
provided for climatic reasons, in the event of force majeure, during a stay out of the
tourist season, or when the minimum number of participants required for
providing a given activity is not reached (examples: group sports, children’s clubs).
In the early or late season some activities may not be available, some of the
facilities (restaurant, swimming pool, etc.) may be closed, or maintenance work may
be in progress. As a general rule, entertainment and sports activities may vary in
frequency depending on how many people are staying at the time and on climatic
conditions. Particularly during the high season, it is possible that the number of
parasols, loungers, sports equipment, etc., are insufficient for the demand. The
opening hours of bars, restaurants, and clubs, etc., may be irregular and dependent
on the management of the establishment in question. You agree that TRAVEL WITH
WENDY B is not liable for activities unavailable due to any of the reasons listed
above.
You acknowledge that the use or enjoyment of an activity may be hazardous and
inherently risky, and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, TRAVEL WITH
WENDY B shall have no liability for any personal injury or death; lost, stolen,
damaged or destroyed property; or other liability arising out of or in connection
with the use and operation of the activity, and all actions or events occurring prior
to, during, at, or after the activity.
Infants – We ask parents travelling with infants to bring with them the appropriate
food for their child, as they may not be able to find it at their destination. You may
be asked to pay a charge, for example for provision of a cot and/or for heating baby
food and drinks. You should request this when making Your reservation, though We
cannot confirm the availability of such services.
