DISPUTE WITH YOUR BANK OR CREDIT CARD COMPANY TO AVOID OR VIOLATE

ANY BOOKING TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ORCHESTRAL LIGHT OR ITS

All payments for travel are due prior to departure according to each Supplier’s terms

and conditions of booking. You understand that failure to make final payment or any

violation of a Supplier’s conditions of purchase may result in cancellation of your

reservations, in your being denied access to any flights, tours, hotels, cruises, or other

travel services, or in your forfeiting any monies paid for your reservations. In some

cases, there is NO REFUND once a booking is made and under deposit. You may not

be entitled to a refund if you change or cancel your travel plans after confirmation of a

booking. All cancellation requests must be sent to Orchestral Light in writing. As a result

of cancellation, Orchestral Light's and third-party Supplier’s cancellation penalties will

apply. Cancellation fees will be charged to the credit card or other payment method you

1. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING TSA AND DHS ACCEPTABLE

IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS


It is the responsibility of each Client to obtain and carry a valid passport, visa(s), and all

other documents required by applicable government regulations. When traveling

domestically or internationally, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA)

and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) advise that everyone carry

acceptable identification in order to board a flight. Acceptable identification can be found

at http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/acceptable-ids; examples are DHS-

designated enhanced driver’s license, Passport, a foreign government passport. The

name, date of birth and gender that appears on the identification card must exactly

match the same such data that is listed on airline ticket(s) and booking records. 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 Client to miss

flight(s), and subsequent scheduled travel bookings on cruises and tours.

WHEN YOU RECEIVE ANY AND ALL TRAVEL DOCUMENTS, IT IS YOUR

RESPONSIBILITY TO REVIEW AND VERIFY ALL INFORMATION FOR ACCURACY.

CONTACT ORCHESTRAL LIGHT IMMEDIATELY IF CHANGES OR CORRECTIONS

ARE REQUIRED.


Orchestral Light strongly recommends that you take into account that certain countries

will not admit a passenger if their passport expires within six (6) months of the

anticipated date of return. Non-United States citizens may require additional

documentation. Client is responsible to make Orchestral Light aware when traveling on

a passport from a country other than the United States of America. Orchestral Light

neither controls nor warrants the issuance of visas or approval of visa waivers related to

your travel. Should a visa not be issued, Orchestral Light is not responsible for lost

payments made toward the contemplated trip. Please note that rules of each country

regarding entry and exit change on a daily basis.


Children and infants also require travel documents. Minors traveling with one parent,

and/or without both parents, may be stopped and not admitted, unless authenticated

and verified consent forms are provided to the authorities; please see

https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-3643 for additional information. The U.S. Customs

and Border Protection Agency requires that for groups of children under age 19 arriving

to the United States by land or sea from contiguous territory and traveling with a school

group, religious group, social or cultural organization, or sports team, may also present

an original or copy of his or her birth certificate, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or a

Naturalization Certificate. Parental or legal guardian consent must be provided to the

supervising adult/Group Leader in writing.


1. INDIVIDUAL ENTRY AND EXIT REQUIREMENTS

Each country holds different views of past criminal offenses, whether within or outside of

their boundaries. If you have a current or prior criminal offense, contact that country

directly for entry and exit requirements. You can visit the US State Department Website

for further information about these requirements. See,

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel.html. We do not inquire about an individual’s

criminal record in the interest of respecting our Clients’ privacy. For example, if traveling

to or through Canada, individuals with a Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) record should

review current entry requirements. See: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-

refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/inadmissibility.html.


1. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

Federal law prohibits passengers from bringing hazardous materials on the aircraft.

(1) Federal law forbids the carriage of hazardous materials aboard aircraft in the

passenger’s luggage or on the passenger’s person. A violation can result in five years’

imprisonment and penalties of $250,000 or more (49 U.S.C. 5124). Hazardous

materials include explosives, compressed gases, flammable liquids and solids,

oxidizers, poisons, corrosives and radio- active materials. Examples: Paints, lighter

fluid, fireworks, tear gases, oxygen bottles, and radiopharmaceuticals.

(2) There are special exceptions for small quantities (up to 70 ounces total) of medicinal

and toilet articles carried in the passenger’s luggage and certain smoking materials

carried on the passenger’s person. For further information, each passenger should

contact the relevant airline representative(s) on their itinerary. Restrictions on hazardous

materials are listed http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/prohibited-items.


1. INSECTICIDE NOTICE

We recommend that you refer to the DOT list of airports in countries that require airlines

to treat the passenger cabin with insecticides prior to the flight or while on the aircraft.

This list is on the DOT’s website and is updated from time to time:

http://www.dot.gov/office-policy/aviation-policy/aircraft-disinsection-requirements.


1. HEALTH/IMMUNIZATIONS

You must have the proper immunizations and health screenings and required

documentation of such immunizations and screenings before travel. Orchestral Light

shall not assume responsibility for the accuracy of health, vaccination, or documentation

prior to departure or upon landing at the final destination. In some cases, required

inoculations must be recorded by Client’s health practitioner on a valid vaccination

certificate, which the Client must carry for proof of inoculation. If you are concerned

about taking any medications or receiving certain inoculations, check with your health

practitioner BEFORE booking. Check the State Department Web site

http://travel.state.gov, for relevant information relating to travel to specific destinations,

and the Center for Disease Control http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/ relating to health issues

related to travel.


1. AIR TRAVEL, SCHEDULE RECONFIRMATION, CHECK-IN

Your airline ticket is a contract between you and the air carrier, even if you purchase

through Orchestral Light. If you purchase air travel through Orchestral Light, you

acknowledge and agree that Orchestral Light does not have the right to control the

operations of independent airlines, and agree that Orchestral Light is not liable for any

personal injury, property damage related to your purchase of air tickets or air travel,

including, but not limited to any act, error, omission, injury, loss, accident, or delay

caused by any act, error or omission of the airline, including their failure to deliver

services, partial or inadequate delivery of services, airline policies including refund or

rebooking policies, fees for checked or carry-on luggage, fuel increases, bankruptcy or

cessation of operations.


You understand and agree that Orchestral Light functions solely and exclusively as a

booking agent for the air carrier, that we do not handle or hold client funds for airline

tickets, and that we are not the Merchant of Record under the meaning of that term

under the Department of Transportation's regulations. Because Orchestral Light does

not hold or handle client funds, you understand and agree that any refund for cancelled

or delayed flights, baggage fees or seat assignments must come directly from the airline

and not from Orchestral Light.


Orchestral Light shall not assume any responsibility for any air schedule changes. In

rare instances, upon departure from a country, certain departure taxes must be paid in

cash only and may vary in price. Failure to use a reservation may result in automatic

cancellation of all continuing and return flights, as well as forfeiture of airfares.

Airline e-tickets expire a year from issue date unless carrier fare rules in passenger’s

itinerary fare provides otherwise. Due to enhanced security, it is strongly recommended that you check in a minimum of 2 hours prior to scheduled departure for domestic flights and 3 hours prior to scheduled departure time for international flights. Reconfirm flight times at least 24 hours prior to scheduled departure time for domestic flights, and 72 hours prior for international flights.


Frequent Flyer mileage accrual is at the discretion of the airline(s). Orchestral Light has

no liability if accural of miles or points is denied or if upgrades are not allowed. Many

airlines do not permit upgrades on airfare purchased in certain fare classes or when

using frequent flyer miles, loyalty status or certificates.


Seat assignments are not guaranteed even after they are assigned, and Orchestral

Light has no control over airline seat assignments. Most airlines charge a fee to pre

book a seat.


1. RIGHT TO CORRECT ERRORS/OFFERS SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY

We reserve the right to correct errors. In the event of any pricing error or omission, we

reserve the right to adjust such pricing or make any other corrections. All offers,

incentives and Supplier promotions are subject to availability and may change without

notice. Prospective Clients are advised to reserve early to avoid disappointment,

increases in fares and additional late booking fees.


1. UNUSED ARRANGEMENTS, MINIMUM PASSENGER REQUIREMENTS AND

ALTERATIONS TO BOOKINGS

When tour, cruise or package prices are based on Suppliers’ contract rates, you will not

be entitled to any refund for any unused portion of travel.

Some group tours are based on minimum numbers of passengers traveling; if the

number of passengers falls below the minimum required, a surcharge may be imposed,

or the tour may be canceled. Any cancellations of a tour or package for reason of failing

to meet the minimum traveler requirement will be governed by the tour operator’s

cancellation policy.


If you decide to change any portion of your confirmed arrangements prior to departure

or during your trip, we will attempt to assist you. Certain bookings may not be able to be

changed. All requests for changes to a booking must be made in writing to Orchestral

Light.


The Supplier may determine that alterations in itinerary are necessary for any number of

reasons, including but not limited to severe weather. Any alterations to an itinerary are

at the sole discretion of the Supplier, and Orchestral Light bears no responsibility for any

changes.


1. LIMITATIONS OF RESPONSIBILITY AND DISCLOSURE

Orchestral Light acts solely as a booking agent for disclosed principal Suppliers and is

not the source or provider of any travel service. Each Supplier is an independent entity

with its own management and is not subject to the control of Orchestral Light. The

Suppliers whose names appear in travel documentation are those actually responsible

for providing the travel services purchased, and you consent to the use of those

Suppliers.


BECAUSE ORCHESTRAL LIGHT ACTS AS AGENT FOR DISCLOSED PRINCIPAL

OF SUCH INDEPENDENT OPERATORS AND SUPPLIERS, YOU AGREE THAT

ORCHESTRAL LIGHT IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY OR

PROPERTY DAMAGE, WHICH MAY ARISE OUT OF THESE SERVICES.

ORCHESTRAL LIGHT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LIABILITY FOR ANY ACT,

ERROR, OMISSION, INJURY, LOSS, ACCIDENT, DELAY OR IRREGULARITY WHICH

MAY BE INCURRED THROUGH THE FAULT, NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL ACTS,

OMISSIONS OR OTHERWISE OF SUCH SUPPLIER, OR OF ANY SUPPLIER OR

THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SERVANTS, OR REPRESENTATIVES,

INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THEIR FAILURE TO DELIVER OR THEIR

PARTIAL OR INADEQUATE DELIVERY OF SERVICES, THEIR CANCELLATION AND

REFUND POLICIES, FUEL INCREASES, BANKRUPTCY, OR CESSATION OF
