TERMS & CONDITIONS

These Terms and Conditions govern the relationship between you, the traveler, and us, Pathways Active Travel, LLC. By booking a trip, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. They outline, among other things, our cancellation policy and certain limitations of liability. These terms affect your rights to sue, governing law, forum, and jurisdiction; please be sure to carefully read these terms and make sure you understand your rights and obligations and our rights and obligations.

PRICE
All of our trips are customized, so every trip price will reflect the specific itinerary. Prices are quoted in US dollars, and are set well in advance of the trip departure date. Prices cover land costs only; they do not include airfare to and from the trip. Every effort has been made to produce pricing information accurately. We reserve the right to correct errors.

RESERVATIONS AND DEPOSIT
A non-refundable deposit of at least $300 per person is required to secure your reservation (if the required deposit is more, we will communicate that to you directly in your trip proposal). To secure reservations on a trip departing within 90 days, a full payment is required by the time of booking. Payment of your deposit indicates your acceptance of these terms and conditions. Final payment for all trips must be made in full to Pathways Active Travel, LLC at least 90 days prior to departure. Reservations will be cancelled if final payment is not received by the due date and cancellation charges will apply.

Your deposit is fully refundable up to 14 days after you book when you sign up 14 or more days before final payment is due.

Deposit policy during Covid: deposit is transferrable through 2023 on the same trip.

CANCELLATIONS, TRANSFER POLICY & REFUNDS
We understand how disappointing it is for travelers in the event they are forced to cancel their adventure, especially one which they have been looking forward to for a long time. We, too, plan for these adventures for quite a long period prior to departure and continuously send non-refundable payments to vendors and suppliers. Therefore we must strictly adhere to our Cancellation & Refund Policy for all travelers – we hope you understand!

If you must cancel your trip, you must do so in writing and deliver the statement to Pathways at the following address: 1023 Walnut St., Boulder, CO 80302. You may also email to: info@pathwaysactivetravel.com.

Cancellation refunds will be calculated as of the date we receive your written cancellation. Your cancellation fee will be determined according to the terms and conditions outlined below.
Transfers to another trip or to a future trip are only allowed before final payment, after which time our cancellation policy applies. If you transfer to another trip and the trip costs more than your original trip, you must pay the difference.
