Booking/services terms & conditions
Booking Terms and Conditions.
1. Woodcock Travel Co. Fees:
You agree to pay the non-refundable fees for services utilized, which are outlined in detail above. I acknowledge and accept there are cancellation policies, change fees, and penalties that may apply to my travel plans and services. I agree to all such cancellation policies, change fees, and penalties, and understand unused portions of travel vouchers are nonrefundable.
2. Agent for Suppliers:
Woodcock Travel Co. acts as a sales agent for any airline, hotel, car-rental company, tour operator, destination management company, cruise line, or other service provider named in your itinerary or confirmation (“Suppliers”). We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of the Suppliers or their failure to adhere to their own schedules, provide services or refunds, financial default, or failure to honor future trip credits. We have no special knowledge regarding the financial condition of the Suppliers and no liability for recommending a trip credit in lieu of a refund.
3. Price Drops:
If a Supplier drops the price of a trip after booking, we will try to assist you with rebooking if the Supplier allows it, and a fee may apply. We do not guarantee any refunds or successful rebooking.
4. Price Increases:
Travel arrangements are subject to Suppliers’ supplemental price increases that may be imposed by the supplier and/or government (even after you have completed your purchase) to cover increased costs, fuel surcharges, tariffs and taxes, and to reflect fluctuations in foreign exchange markets. You hereby consent to any such price increases and authorize your credit or debit card to be used for them. Suppliers have their own contracts covering cancellation penalties and other terms and conditions, and you may be bound by those contracts regardless of whether you receive notice of their terms.
5. Flight Confirmations:
Fares are subject to availability and prices may change after the date of ticketing including the price for baggage, applicable fuel surcharges, or an increase in a government-imposed fee or tax. Passport copies for all travelers are required to confirm international air reservations.
6. Credit Card Merchant:
We also strongly recommend that you use a credit card for your purchase, so that you can exercise your rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act if you do not receive the services you purchased. However, if we are the credit card merchant, our role is to facilitate the sale, collect funds on your behalf, and remit those funds to the Suppliers. If the Suppliers do not provide the services, your only recourse would be against the Suppliers, and you agree not to initiate a chargeback against us. If for any reason my credit card charges are later declined, reversed, or Jetset World Travel is unable to receive payment for the travel plans and services, I acknowledge that this is a binding contract between myself and Jetset World Travel, and Jetset World Travel shall be entitled to recovery, including reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with collection.
7. Insurance:
For your protection, we strongly recommend that you purchase trip cancellation and travel accident insurance to help protect passengers and their investment. Insurance is NOT automatically included in the cost of an itinerary to protect against third party default, delay, trip interruption, trip cancellation, emergency medical expenses, emergency medical evacuation/repatriation, baggage loss, baggage delay, and more. Please note that most policies have a specific clause stating they do not cover epidemics and pandemics, especially when travel warnings are in place. No representation or description of the insurance made by our staff constitutes a binding assurance or promise about the insurance. You agree to hold us harmless for your election not to purchase travel insurance or for any denial of claim by travel insurer as it relates to Covid-19 or any other claim under the policy.
8. Claims Deadline and Exclusive Jurisdiction:
You agree to present any claims against us within 30 days after your trip ends and to file suit within one year of the incident, and you acknowledge that this expressly limits the applicable statute of limitations to one year. You agree that the courts in Fulton County, Georgia will be the exclusive jurisdiction for all claims brought by you or us, and you hereby submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
9. Foreign Entry Rules:
You assume full and complete responsibility for checking and verifying any and all passport, visa, vaccination, or other entry requirements of your destination and your connecting points, and all conditions regarding health, safety, security, political stability, and labor or civil unrest at such destination..
