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 can begin planning Your trip. Additionally, 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 $50 late fee in addition to the retention of our non-refundable planning 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) voluntarily holds 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Activities offered during Your stay – An activity may not be appropriate for all ages or for individuals with certain medical conditions or abilities.
