I acknowledge that I may be charged additional sums by Travel Culture to offset increased fees, fuel surcharges, taxes, and fluctuations in foreign exchange markets or any combination thereof. I hereby consent to any post-purchase price increases and authorize Travel Culture to charge payment for such additional amounts after I have been notified of pricing change.

Discounts and Price Change

I UNDERSTAND that discounted fares typically involve restrictions and that changing any aspect of my travel arrangements may result in the payment of additional money. Conversely, cancellation of any aspect of my travel arrangements may result in financial penalties, in accordance with the supplier’s cancellation policies.  

I UNDERSTAND all prices are subject to change without prior notice due to currency fluctuation, fuel prices and any other unforeseen circumstances.

All checks must cleared before moving forward with travel arrangements. 

 

Cancellations/Changes

I have been informed of Change/Cancellation Policy by suppliers through personal research and understand that any cancellation/changes of any aspect of my travel arrangements may result in financial penalties, in accordance with the supplier’s cancellation policies.  Therefore, I will not hold Ashli Moore or Travel Culture responsible for any change or cancellation that the supplier my impose.
