GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS AGREED UPON WHEN BOOKING TRAVEL:
I understand that by booking this trip, I voluntarily assume all risks, along with my co-travelers, regarding exposure to Covid-19. I understand that there may be airline schedule changes, updated transportation, hotel and resort protocol, as well as increased customs and immigration screening, which may include health questionnaires and temperature checks. It is my responsibility to check for updated health advisories, as this could change at the last minute before or during travel. Just Be Travel Co. and its advisors/coordinators are absolved of all liability related to Covid-19.
It is my responsibility to check for the latest and current state and government and employer travel restrictions before booking and before my trip, which may include self-quarantine for an amount of time after returning home. Travel insurance is STRONGLY encouraged in case of last minute changes, mandates or cancellations. I acknowledge that I am aware of any risks and alerts that have been issued to the country I am traveling to. It is my responsibility to address any concerns or review any updates as necessary. I accept that if travel protection/insurance is not purchased, refunds of any kind may not be offered.
I understand that it is my responsibility to check with the airline for any updates to schedule changes 24-48 hours prior to departure.
It is our (the passenger/s) sole responsibility to have the proper legal documents for travel in our possession at all times during travel and in no way will we hold Just Be Travel Co. and it’s advisors/coordinators liable for misplacement or destruction of our official documents for travel. Names must match the required government issued ID exactly. The United States Government requires a valid passport for re-entry into the United States from any other country regardless of the departure date. When traveling to any country other than the United States of America, we are aware that we must possess a legal passport, and obtain any visas and/or legal documents that may be required by that country. We understand that the passport must be valid for at least six months after our return date of travel. Please visit www.travel.state.gov for specific rules. I accept that I will be responsible for all cancellation penalties or loss of monies that may incur for our failure to produce the proper legal documentation.
I accept responsibility for obtaining and being aware of any travel restrictions due to past arrests, prior convictions and/or past or current legal matters that may prevent me or any travelers in my party from traveling.
Children under the age of 18 not traveling with both natural parents require a notarized letter signed by the absent parent(s) giving permission to the traveling parent or authorized adult to take the child out of the United States. This letter must contain the travel dates and the name and address of where the child will be staying.
I have checked that the spelling of the names on all trip reservations and confirm that they match our government issued ID (passport, if itinerary requires). I have checked the itinerary dates, cities, hotel/resort accommodations and all airline reservations information and accept the reservation(s) as presented.
