  • Release of Liability: STS acts only as an agent for the passenger with respect to transportation, hotels, cruise and all matters of reservations and operation of the tour. STS and its agents and representatives do not accept responsibility for loss, damage, injury, accident, delay, irregularity, expense or liability caused by negligence or default of any of their subcontracting organizations, their employees, their agents or representatives, including consulates, passport agencies, mail couriers or border & airport security conditions. Any such losses or expenses shall be borne by the participant. We reserve the right to cancel the tour prior to departure in which case the full payment of the “land portion” will be refunded to the participant without any further obligations on our part. It is understood that air tickets when issued shall constitute the sole contract between the passenger and the carrier concerned. STS or any of their subcontractors in various countries are not held responsible for any act, omission, unforeseen change or event that will affect the passenger while heading to their destination or returning from it. Any sickness, injury, accidents, dismemberment, terrorist attacks, complications to the tour due to civil unrest or disturbance in the political climate at the destination or in relations between USA and the visited country or in case of death of a passenger is not the responsibility of STS, its agents and representatives, or the airlines involved. Clients have been advised of the option of purchasing individual travel protection insurance. By signing up for this trip, I acknowledge my full awareness that the visited country (ies) may have a travel warning issued by the US State Department and it is with our complete free will that we are joining that specific tour. I could consult their website at: www.travel.state.gov . I voluntarily apply to participate in this tour with knowledge of the inherent risks involved in travel. I also am aware that unforeseen events can happen (beyond STS’s control) and may cause the cancellation of the tour or alteration of the proposed itinerary and I accept such risks and the costs involved with it and will not hold STS liable for any damages or losses. As we plan your tour arrangements months in advance, we may occasionally change or cancel the whole tour (for lack of participation or for Force Majeur) and we reserve the right to do so. We seldom change trip leaders or airlines used and we have the right to do so if necessary. We will accept your tour booking on the understanding that you realize the safety facilities in the developing world - in the vehicles, on the roads and at the tourist sites often do not match ours in the USA. If you have any valid and legitimate complaint about any of your tour arrangements, you must tell our relevant local supplier at the time. In the event that your complaint cannot be resolved by our local representative at the time, please contact our US office directly. If you fail to follow this simple procedure you would have deprived yourself of the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint whilst you were in the destination and this may affect your rights under this contract for any compensation.

STS is not responsible for any passport or visa problems, delays or any unforeseen conditions that can affect the trip. Traveler is responsible to provide STS with the valid passport that will be used for the specific trip she/he signed up for and any amendments and changes to the used passport could cause a problem obtaining visas and/or will add additional expenses in resubmittal of information. A fee of $50 will be added to the final invoice in case of such passport changes. Upon acceptance of my application this agreement shall be deemed to have been entered into and performed in Eastpointe, Michigan and shall be construed according to the laws of Michigan only. In the unlikely event a legal dispute should arise involving any subject matter whatever, I agree that the dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration through the American Arbitration Association in Michigan. Should the arbitration provision prove to be unenforceable, I agree that any legal action shall be brought before the appropriate court in Macomb County, Michigan, or Federal Court in Michigan. I further agree that should the plaintiff fail to prevail in any legal dispute before a court said plaintiff hereby agrees to pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees for the defendant in the dispute. With regard to credit card sales for services related to this tour, the client will hold STS and its agents and representatives harmless for all charge-backs exercised by them or their credit card companies, originating from any complaints for any unsatisfactory services or for any reason for which the client did not use part of the prepaid tour or for any reasons whatsoever.

    Cancellations & Refunds: Cancellations must be received in writing, and will be processed according to the date it is received. Although a verbal cancellation is appreciated, it will not be accepted as final notice. Departure is defined as the date of the first flight from USA, or the trip departure date as indicated on our Trip Schedule, whichever comes first.

    1. Money will be refunded minus the following cancellation fees/penalties per person (unless different for a particular trip, then the special cancellation schedule of that trip will apply):
