First and foremost, Mexico enjoys a
well-deserved reputation for having some of the best beaches in the world, awash in swimming, surfing, snorkeling and
sailing. Cancun is where modern oceanfront resorts lie in the shadow of nearby Mayan ruins. Puerto Vallarta’s a tropical
playground with charming waterfront towns as a backdrop. Snorkelers flock to the underwater world of Cozumel, where
friendly dolphins swim among the world-famous coral reefs. Avid fishermen enjoy the challenge of fishing for marlin and
sailfish off of Los Cabos.
Fortunately, Mexico’s possibilities don’t end at the water’s edge. Those so inclined soon learn that stories about
Mexico’s great party scene are not exaggerated. The same holds true for the many year-round cultural festivals.
Whether you take on a lush rainforest, a pair of water skis or a set of golf clubs, you’ll find your sense of adventure
in Mexico. Just remember to expect the unexpected.

FUN FACT: Because of Mexico’s great biodiversity, it is home to 1,060 of the world’s 8,500 known bird

completed universal charge form (“UCC”) for full payment must be received to
secure reservations maintained at the travel agency. Travel Impressions reserves
the right to receive a copy of the signed universal charge form if necessary. Any
other person or entity (including a travel agent) who receives monies from
participants does so strictly as an agent of participants. Tender of payment to
Travel Impressions or travel agent constitutes acceptance of these terms and
conditions. The following payment schedule applies unless airline-ticketing

Special Handling Fee to cover costs associated with expedited processing of the
booking. All payments not timely received will be charged a $10.00 Late Payment
Fee. After deposit, all revisions are subject to a $25.00 per booking fee. Once we
have received a deposit on your reservation, we reserve the right to ticket in
order to protect the fare and all penalties will apply. Airfares quoted as published
are not guaranteed until ticketed. Ticketing requirements vary depending on air
carrier.
RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY: Operator arranges all of the services and
accommodations offered in connection with these trips. Operator does not own
or operate, nor is it an agent for any of the suppliers which will provide goods and
services for the trip or for any option which may be available in connection with
the trip (including optional side trips, car rentals, etc.) and Operator has not
priced the trip or options to allow Operator to guarantee against failure of any
such suppliers. Accordingly, participant(s) agree to seek remedies directly with
the supplier and not to hold Operator, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates and
representatives (collectively “Operator Parties”) liable, in the absence of its or
their negligence, for any loss, injury, delay, expense or damage which results
directly or indirectly from any action or omission, whether negligent, criminal or
otherwise, of any entity providing goods or services for the trip or any available
option (e.g., the quality of services, cleanliness of a hotel, hotel overbooking,
cancellation of services, cessation of operations, accidents, failure of equipment,
changes in fares, itineraries or schedules or any flight delay). Participant(s) also
agree not to hold the Operator Parties liable for circumstances beyond its or their
control (e.g., acts of God, fires, earthquakes, floods, climatic aberrations, acts of
governmental authorities, civil unrest, strikes, riots, theft, disease, accidents or
failures related to the public internet, telecommunications lines or facilities, or
third party technology systems, piracy and terrorism, or any other cause beyond
the control of the Operator Parties. Participant(s) acknowledge that the Operator
Parties have not made any representations or promises with respect to the tour
described herein except as expressly set forth in the Operator’s literature, unless
such agreement is in writing and signed by an officer of Operator. At any time, the
Operator may decline, for any reason, any person as a participant on a trip (or
option) whereupon the Operator’s only obligation shall be to refund such person
that portion of payment allocable to the unused services.
CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY: The right to a refund if a participant
changes plans is limited. All requests for refunds after a trip must be submitted
(with return receipt requested) in writing through the booking agent to the
Operator within 14 days after completion of the trip. Operator will remit any
refund to the participant(s) within 14 days after receipt of the cancellation
request. Failure to submit your written request within 14 days could limit
Operator’s ability to resolve your request with the Supplier. If your notice is
received, your liquidated damages (per person) will be: Once payment is
received - $50.00 per person plus any supplier fees. For holiday programs and
certain travel periods – higher penalties apply. During selected holidays, special
event dates and peak travel periods, such as Christmas/New Year’s, winter
school break and Easter, your penalties may be higher and still subject to the
supplier fees. All appropriate receipts and documentation must accompany the
refund request. No refund will be made for features the participant opts not to
use. “No show” penalties could be up to 100% of the airfare and 50% of the
hotel/land. The rights and remedies made available herein are in addition to any
others available under applicable law. However, Operator offers refunds under
this agreement with the express understanding that endorsement of a refund by
participant(s) constitutes a waiver of any such additional rights and remedies.
FORUM FOR DISPUTES: Participant and Operator agree to resolve any
dispute in a court of competent jurisdiction in New York State.
DOCUMENTS: Documents will be mailed once full payment is received.
Document reissue fee is $25.00 per booking.
CHECK-IN PROCEDURE: Failure to check in at least 2 hours prior to
departure for domestic flights and 3 hours prior for international flights may
result in denied boarding and no refund will be granted.
INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS ONLY: The operation of these flights is subject to
the foreign government involved granting landing rights for the flights. If the
direct air carrier cannot obtain these rights, the flights will be cancelled and full
refunds will be made to all participants.
PACKAGE PRICE: Includes only items specifically stated in Operator’s
current literature, the contents of which are specifically made a part hereof.
Certain secondary features of a package (e.g., cocktail party, free sports, etc.) are
based on supplier policy and may be changed, added or deleted after printing of
literature. Operator has the right to substitute services or accommodations in
similar categories for items listed in the literature. PLEASE NOTE: Operator
reserves the right to re-invoice participant(s) in case of an error made in
computing tour price, or a change in tax, hotel rate or service fee is imposed by
the hotel or airline. Air-inclusive packages do not include per person government
imposed taxes; PFC’s of up to $18 and September 11th Security Fees of up to $10.
Foreign government departure taxes, fees and tourist cards may be collected at
the destination by the respective government authority.
LUGGAGE: Many airlines are now charging fees for your luggage. These fees
are payable directly to the airline upon check-in. Please contact your airline for
specific details. These limitations on liability are subject to change.
PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP AND ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: Participant(s)
are responsible for determining and obtaining proper documentation
including any visas or other travel documentation that may be required. Failure
to carry proper proof of citizenship may lead to denied entry to aircraft and/or
foreign country. All participants are required to check with the appropriate
consulate or embassy for the respective destination for entry requirements
that apply to them and their travel companions. No refunds will be made if
incomplete or improper documentation results in denied boarding or entry. A
valid passport may be required and should be valid for a minimum of 6 months
after your return date.
AIRCRAFT, FLIGHT CHANGES AND DELAYS: Participant(s) are subject to the
ticket terms and tariffs of the airlines which, when issued, shall be the sole
contract between the airline and the participant.
MAJOR CHANGES: A “Major Change” is limited to: (i) a change in the
departure or return date, except that flight delay is not a Major Change unless
7/1/09
3:50 PM
Page 63
the Operator knows of it more than 2 days before the scheduled flight date or if
the delay lasts more than 48 hours; (ii) a change in the origin or destination city,
unless the change affects only the order in which cities are visited; (iii) any
substitution of any hotel that is not named (as an option or otherwise) in
Operator’s literature; (iv) a price increase to the participant(s) which is more
than 10 percent of the total price the participant(s) are paying for the trip.
Should Operator know of a Major Change 10 or more days before scheduled
departure, it will notify participant(s) within 7 days after first knowing of it, but in
any event at least 10 days before scheduled departure. Should Operator learn of
the Major Change less than 10 days before scheduled departure, it will notify
participant(s) as soon as possible. For a full refund within 14 days, a participant
may cancel in writing (return receipt) to Operator within 7 days after receiving
notice of a Major Change, but in no event later than departure. If notice of a Major
Change is received after trip departure, participant may decline to accept the
change and be sent a refund of the portion of his payments allocable to the hotel
accommodations or air transportation not provided within 14 days after scheduled
return date.
INTERMEDIARY DISCLOSURE: Operator assists you in finding travel
suppliers and making arrangements that meet your individual needs. Operator
considers various factors in identifying travel suppliers to you and
recommending specific itineraries. In this role, Operator is acting as an
independent third party and not as a fiduciary. The Operator Parties want you
to be aware that certain suppliers pay them commissions as well as incentives
for reaching sales targets or other goals, and from time to time may also
provide incentives to the Operator Parties’ travel counselors. Certain suppliers
may also provide compensation to the Operator Parties for various marketing
and administrative services that they perform for them, such as granting
suppliers access to the Operator Parties’ marketing channels, participating in
marketing programs and supporting technology initiatives. In addition, our
parent company, American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc.
receives compensation from suppliers when customers use the American
Express® Card or other American Express products to pay for supplier products
and services. From time to time the Operator Parties may enter into other
business relationships with suppliers and these arrangements, including levels
and types of compensation and incentives the Operator Parties receive, are
subject to change. In identifying suppliers and recommending itineraries,
Operator may consider a number of factors, including supplier availability and
your preferences. The relationships the Operator Parties have with suppliers
may also influence the suppliers Operator identifies and the itineraries Operator
recommends.
