Social Suitcases is an independent contractor and is not an employee, agent, or representative of any of these suppliers. All suppliers are independent contractors, and are not agents or employees or representatives of Social Suitcases. All travel services arranged by Social Suitcases are subject to any and all applicable laws, regulations, tariffs, and the terms and conditions of any agreement with a supplier.

Social Suitcases is not responsible or liable for incorrect airline ticket travel dates reserved when airfare is reserved outside of a Social Suitcases package (traveler reserves own airfare using a source outside of Social Suitcases).

PRICING: Prices and availability quoted by Social Suitcases are not guaranteed until deposit is fully paid. Pricing and availability may change without notice. Passenger(s) agrees that Social Suitcases is not responsible for any errors or omissions in any quotes, advertisements, including on our website, resulting in inventory, content, or pricing discrepancies nor is Social Suitcases responsible for any errors or omissions that may occur as a result of incorrect information from third parties or suppliers.

Passenger(s) acknowledge this right and agree to pay any such additional taxes, fees, and surcharges. Price is subject to change until a deposit is received. 

PAYMENTS: Social Suitcases and some suppliers hold reservations until the deposit due date. If deposit/payment is not received by Social Suitcases  or its supplier on or before the deposit due date, reservations are automatically cancelled and prices are subject to change until a deposit is received. Failure to remit final payments on or before the final payment date will automatically put your booking at risk of cancellation, may automatically cancel and all payments will be forfeited. Please contact us immediately, and in advance of your payment due date, if you will be unable to meet this obligation. Without limitation, Passenger(s) voluntarily holds Social Suitcases harmless for cancellation of any booking for either late payment or declination of a credit card.

Payments are never automatic, please contact your consultant when you are ready to make a payment. 

CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION

You are automatically authorizing credit card payments, when you the Passenger(s) enter your credit card information via the supplier’s payment system, via the Social Suitcases payment system or when you verbally make a payment over the phone with our consultant.  Your authorization is a binding agreement for us to charge your card and as such you waive any right to chargeback in the case of cancellation for any cause (excepting fraud), including a Force Majeure event, as defined herein, and agree to refund policies and procedures as outlined in these Terms and Conditions. In the event any Passenger(s) attempts to chargeback, reverse, or recollect a trip payment already made without the authorization of Social Suitcases, we reserve the right to collect all additional costs, fees and expenses associated with such chargeback, reversal or recollection, including, without limitation, attorney fees.

CHANGES TO RESERVATIONS: ANY changes made to your existing room reservation are subject to the current rates, promotions, and terms at the time of change of the airlines, hotels, tour operators. 

SOCIAL SUITCASES CHANGE FEE SCHEDULE: 

All VOLUNTARY changes requested by the client to be made to their reservation once deposit has been made will incur a $50 fee per change. This is non-negotiable and you will be sent a link to make payment prior to any research into changes.

All VOLUNTARY changes requested by the client to be made to their reservation once final payment has been made will incur a $100 fee per change. This is non-negotiable and you will be sent a link to make payment prior to any research into changes.

AIRFARE: Airline tickets are highly restrictive, in most cases they are non-refundable, and non-transferable. Modification of passenger names, dates, times, routings, or departure/arrival airports is at the sole discretion of the airline and, if permitted, will likely be subject to a substantial change fee. Passenger(s) is responsible for any such fees (PLEASE REVIEW YOUR CONFIRMATIONS CAREFULLY).

 With regard to the purchase of air tickets, Social Suitcases acts simply as an intermediary between you and the airline. Once you book a reservation, your credit card or debit card will be charged for the amount shown – regardless of whether or not the reservation is used.

All tickets will be issued for economy class unless otherwise specified. All travel will be round-trip unless otherwise specified. Seat assignments are subject to the airlines policies and may not be able to be made until you are at the airport on the day of departure.

Airline tickets booked through Social Suitcases may or may not be eligible to earn frequent flyer miles. You agree to confirm all bookings with the airline prior to the stated date of departure (Social Suitcases recommends confirming 72 hours and 24 hours prior). Social Suitcases’s responsibilities in respect to air travel are limited by the relevant airline’s conditions of carriage. The airline fulfilling your contract for carriage may change from the airline mentioned by Social Suitcases. Social Suitcases is not able to specify the type of aircraft to be used by any airline. If an airline cancels or delays a flight, you must work directly with the airline to ensure you arrive at your destination on or ahead of time. Social Suitcases will not provide any refund for trips missed, in part or full.

Where a ticket is purchased and used in violation of the airline’s rules, Social Suitcases and the applicable air carrier have the right in their sole discretion to take all actions permitted by law. Please review the airline’s policy located on their website.

Each airline has its own policy regarding luggage. We recommend that you check with your airline ahead of time for any weight restrictions and additional charges relating to checked baggage. If luggage fees are not included with your travel package, you will be responsible for paying to the airline any additional charges for checked, or overweight baggage, including, but not limited to, golf bags and oversized luggage. If you exceed the weight limit set by your airline, and excess weight is permitted, you must pay a supplement directly to the airline at the airport.

The airline is liable to you for the baggage you entrust to it only for the compensation contemplated in the international conventions and relevant statutes. In the event of damage, late forwarding, theft or loss of luggage, you should contact the airline and declare the damage, absence or loss of your personal effects before leaving the airport, and then submit a declaration, attaching the originals of the following documents: the travel ticket, the baggage check-in slip, and the declaration. Social Suitcases strongly recommends that you obtain a Travel Protection policy covering the value of your items.

Social Suitcases is in no way liable for damages arising from or related to any airline timetable changes, delays, cancellations, missed connections, mechanical problems, inclement weather, seating assignments, lost/delayed baggage, screening and security delays, refused boarding, failure to check-in properly or failure to provide acceptable identification.

Federal law forbids the carriage of hazardous materials aboard aircraft in your luggage or on your 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 radioactive materials. Examples: Paints, lighter fluid, fireworks, tear gases, oxygen bottles, and radio-pharmaceuticals. There are special exceptions for small quantities (up to 70 ounces total) of medicinal and toilet articles carried in your luggage and certain smoking materials carried on your person. For further information contact your airline representative. Please refer to the full list of TSA prohibited items at http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/prohibited-items

BAGGAGE FEES: Due to continual changes in airline baggage policies it is suggested that you inquire with your airline's website for up-to-date fees & information. Social Suitcasesis NOT responsible for additional fees incurred for baggage or seating. BAGGAGE FEES ARE NOT PART OF AN ALL-INCLUSIVE PACKAGE! Please review "Updated Checked Bag and Carryon Bag Rules" at www.TSA.gov

ACCOMMODATIONS AND ACTIVITIES: Accommodations are defined as lodgings in a dwelling or similar living quarters afforded to passengers including, but not limited to, hotels, condos, quarters in cruise ships, motels, time shares, campgrounds, and resorts.

Accommodation classifications - The number of stars attributed to the hotels and other providers of accommodations quoted by Social Suitcases correspond to a classification established as a point of reference in accordance with local standards in the host country. Please be advised that accommodations and the “star” designations may vary from country to country. The comments we make in our descriptions are based on our knowledge of the establishments and the comments we have received from customers or the establishment’s websites. Social Suitcases makes no guarantee about the suitability or availability of accommodations, and if the particular accommodations sought are unavailable, we will do our best to reserve comparable accommodations, if possible. However, you would bear any additional costs for upgrading the room or property. We reserve the right, for technical reasons, in cases of force majeure or actions by third parties, to replace the planned hotel with accommodation of the same category offering equivalent services. This would only be in exceptional circumstances and in such cases, we will inform you as soon as we are aware of this necessity.

Taking possession of and vacating your room policies often vary by hotel and/or country, so it is your responsibility to check with the hotel ahead of time to verify the relevant policies and times. Social Suitcases is not responsible for any charges and damages resulting from your failure to timely take possession or vacate your room. Typical check in time is 4pm and check out time is 12pm. Early possession or late vacation of your room may result in fees charged by the hotel and are at the hotel's sole discretion and paid entirely by the passenger(s).

Types of room - Room classifications and amenities vary by hotel and/or country, so it is your responsibility to check with the hotel ahead of time to verify the specific amenities offered at the time of your stay. We do our best to keep you informed, but Social Suitcases makes no guarantee that its descriptions and photographs are an exact representation of the particular rooms offered. Special requests, such as bedding preferences and room location can be communicated to the hotel prior to your arrival, but these requests are up to the hotel to honor. Social Suitcases is in no way responsible for grating or confirming special requests like this.

Activities offered during your stay - An activity may not be appropriate for all ages or for individuals with certain medical conditions or abilities. Social Suitcases may not be held liable in the event of an incident or accident which is due to a lack of vigilance on your part. It may happen that certain activities are no longer provided for climatic reasons, in the event of force majeure, during a stay out of the tourist season, or when the minimum number of participants required for providing a given activity is not reached (examples: group sports, children’s clubs). In the early or late season some activities may not be available, some of the facilities (restaurant, swimming pool, etc.) may be closed, or maintenance work may be in progress. As a general rule, entertainment and sports activities may vary in frequency depending on how many people are staying at the time and on climatic conditions. Particularly during the high season, it is possible that the number of parasols, loungers, sports equipment, etc., are insufficient for the demand. The opening hours of bars, restaurants, and clubs, etc., may be irregular and dependent on the management of the establishment in question. You agree that Social Suitcases is not liable for activities unavailable due to any of the reasons listed above.

You acknowledge that the use or enjoyment of an activity may be hazardous and inherently risky, and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Social Suitcases shall have no liability for any personal injury or death; lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed property; or other liability arising out of or in connection with the use and operation of the activity, and all actions or events occurring prior to, during, at, or after the activity.

TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN: Children under 18 years of age not traveling with both parents or legal guardian(s) may need to present a notarized letter from the absent parent/guardian granting permission to travel outside the United States and provide emergency medical care if necessary. Please refer to this website for more information and sample letters: http://www.globetrektravel.com/minortravelforms.pdf

Social Suitcases is not responsible for lack of compliance to provide proper documentation to airport authorities. It is the responsibility of the traveler & the traveler’s parents/guardians to provide proper documentation to airport authorities.

Infants - We ask parents traveling with infants to bring with them the appropriate food for their child, as they may not be able to find it at their destination. You may be asked to pay a charge, for example for provision of a cot and/or for heating baby food and drinks. You should request this when making your reservation, though we cannot confirm the availability of such services.

Pregnant women - Social Suitcases advises pregnant women to consult their doctors before making any reservation, in order to confirm that it is appropriate for them participate in the trip. You agree that Social Suitcases will not be liable for any damages arising from inability to participate in any or all of the trip due to pregnancy or related illness and no compensation will be payable under such circumstances.

Passengers with special needs or disabilities - If you have special needs or a disability you must call the provider of your accommodations ahead of time and verify that special needs can be met. Social Suitcases makes no guarantee as to the ability of any accommodations, activity provider, or facilities advertised on its site to meet the special needs of disabled clients. Social Suitcases has no special knowledge regarding the suitability for disabled persons of any portion of any tour or activity offered. For information concerning the suitability for disabled persons for any portion of any tour or other reservation, contact the provider directly.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS: Travel documents will be sent to you no later than ten (10) days prior to departure date. Please read through these documents immediately; misprints, misspellings, incorrect dates etc. are not the responsibility of Social Suitcases. Included in your travel documents (if airfare is purchased through Social Suitcases) are airline electronic ticket receipts (proof of purchase, not boarding passes or actual tickets). Boarding passes are printed at the time of check in; online with the airline directly, or at the airport when showing passport & checking in luggage. It is very important that you take your travel documents with you in addition to passports and a major credit card for any baggage fees that may apply.

Passenger(s) assumes sole responsibility to independently confirm all documentation requirements for all passport, visa, vaccination, or other entry and/or travel requirements of each destination. Passenger(s) assumes sole responsibility for, and hereby releases Social Suitcases from any claims or responsibility for any and all damages incurred as a result of Passenger’s failure to comply with applicable documentation requirements, including but not limited the requirement that all Passengers procure, and have on their person the proper travel documents at all times. Social Suitcases recommends the Passengers consult with the appropriate domestic and foreign governmental agencies for the current document requirements. By agreeing to Social Suitcases terms & conditions, you are authorizing Social Suitcases and its agents to accept the passenger contract and all terms associated with your reservation as received by Social Suitcases.

It is your sole responsibility to secure and/or pay for any and all visas, reciprocity fees, affidavits, immunizations, etc. that are required to be permitted entry into each destination. In some countries you may be subject to entry (reciprocity) fees and/or departure taxes/ exit fees which will be collected at the airports upon entry/departure by local government authorities. Please note that entry to any country may be refused even if the required information and travel documents are complete or if Passenger(s) have a criminal history. SOCIAL SUITCASES is not responsible for you being refused entry in any way.

CANCELLATION PENALTIES: All suppliers have their own cancellation policies, which apply to your booking. Should a cancellation become necessary, please inform your Social Suitcases agent immediately in writing by email and request a written confirmation of your cancellation. Upon receipt, Social Suitcases will follow industry procedures for any cancellations as outlined in the supplier’s terms and subject to their review. If you are entitled to a refund, please note that the supplier is responsible for this refund, not Social Suitcases. Generally, flight tickets, hotel reservation and other items provided for the travel cannot be refunded. We are not responsible for a supplier’s failure to pay a refund.

Deposits and payments made to or through Social Suitcases are possibly non-refundable. Social Suitcases can provide a breakdown of all cancellation fees for your specific reservation upon request. If you do not request the cancellation fees, you are still obligated to pay them upon cancellation. Social Suitcases is required to pay all suppliers well in advance of your trip date. Because we strictly adhere to our cancellation and refund policy Travel Protection is strongly encouraged. 

If Travel Protection has been declined, there are no refunds for changes or cancellations and Social Suitcases will have no further liability to you. If Travel Protection has been purchased, refunds are subject to the insurance policy.

CANCELLATION PENALTIES FOR ALL GROUP CLIENTS – WEDDING GROUPS, CORPORATE GROUPS, ETC.: If your reservation is associated with a Group, cancellation penalties as stipulated in the Group Contract will apply. A Group Contract applies when special terms and conditions have been negotiated with the hotel or resort for a block of rooms by a lead passenger such as the Bride and Groom for a Wedding Group. Air reservations associated with the Group reservation if booked with Social Suitcases are also subject to cancellation and change penalties. Clients will be responsible for the cancellation penalties unless Trip Insurance is purchased at the time of booking. Please refer to your booking agent for details.

LATE FEES: All reservations are subject to cancellation and hotel penalties as described above if final payment is not received on the due date. Late fees are not covered by the travel insurance and are always non-refundable. All the above would be protected with the optional Travel Insurance with the exception of late fees. If you do not have insurance – natural disasters (such as hurricanes), cancellations for ANY reason (medical/personal emergencies, cancellation of the wedding, etc.) do not relieve you from these penalties. ONLY the Travel Insurance will ensure your coverage. All cancellations must be received in writing.

TRAVEL PROTECTION: Travel Protection is strongly recommended. As your travel agent, we have a professional responsibility to recommend the purchase of Travel Protection to protect both you and your vacation. Such a plan, at a minimum, should cover Trip Cancellation or Interruption, Cancel for Any Reason, Medical Expense, Emergency Evacuation/Repatriation, and Baggage. 

Travel Protection plans can help protect you in the event of loss of non-refundable trip deposits and payments that result from cancellation or trip interruption (due to a covered reason such as injury or illness before or during the trip) and can also help with reimbursement for medical emergency costs (including very costly medical evacuation costs), missed connections and baggage loss. While we may be able to offer some coverage through the tour operator/supplier we use to book your trip, there are other third-party insurance providers for you to consult with. This responsibility rests solely with each Passenger and we advise you to do your research and find coverage that best fits your individual needs. Social Suitcases is limited to advising you of the need for such coverage and is not qualified to answer technical questions about the benefits, exclusions, and conditions of travel protection plans. Social Suitcases cannot evaluate the adequacy of the prospective insured's existing insurance coverage. 

If you have any questions about your Travel Protection, please call your insurer or insurance agent or broker. All claims must be filed with the insurance provider by you and are reviewed, accepted, or declined at the sole decision and discretion of the insurance provider and not Social Suitcases.

Certain countries have a requirement for foreign visitors to have valid medical insurance on entry. Social Suitcases cannot be held responsible for denied entry if any Passenger(s) is unable to provide details to authorities of insurance or denial of entry for any reason. Declining travel protection plan coverage could result in the loss of your travel cost and/or require more money to correct the situation. You also acknowledge that without this coverage, there may be no way to recoup any losses, costs or expenses incurred. If you choose to travel without adequate coverage, we will not be liable for any of your losses howsoever arising, for which travel protection plan coverage would otherwise have been available.

PASSPORTS: Everyone, including children and infants, MUST have a VALID passport book to travel internationally (not Passport Card). Failure to comply will result in denial of boarding, no refund, no exceptions (out of the USA). Social Suitcases is NOT responsible for passports in ANY way. PASSPORT CARDS ARE NOT VALID FOR TRAVEL INTERNATIONALLY VIA AIR!

Many countries require that your passport has at least two completely blank pages to be valid. Please take a moment now to check on your passport validity. If your passport expires within 6 months of your flight home, or if it does not have enough blank pages, please be sure to get it renewed before your trip to avoid being denied boarding.

 The rates we provide are for passengers carrying a US passport. Hotels reserve the right to change the rates for passengers booking a US rate but checking in with a non-US passport. Citizens of other countries require a valid passport and may also require additional documents. Such persons should contact consulates of countries to be visited and obtain proper documents before departure. Although we may advise and inform of entry requirement, the verification and possession of required and valid passport and visas is the sole responsibility of the passenger(s).

HONEYMOON & ANNIVERSARY TRAVELERS: You MUST bring a copy of your marriage certificate to qualify for any complimentary honeymoon/anniversary package (photo copy is recommended). Failure to have such proof of marriage will result in the resort denying these complimentary privileges (if applicable). PLEASE notify your Social Suitcases Consultant if you are celebrating a Honeymoon or Anniversary so that they can annotate this in your reservation. Typically a resort will honor these packages up to 30 days before or after your honeymoon/anniversary date.

DRESS CODE: ** MEN/LADIES ** - Please be advised that some resort restaurants may require long pants, collared shirt, shirts with sleeves,  & closed toe shoes. Please pack accordingly.

TOBACCO: Many properties are smoke free. Please take note of this prior to arrival. Cancun Airport has implemented a rule that states no more than 200 cigarettes are allowed into the country per person. This includes anything bought in duty free on the way into Mexico. If you have more than 200 cigarettes on your person, you will be charged a hefty tax.

YOUR CONDUCT: Each Passenger is expected to act responsibly and adhere to all behavior guidelines established by our local suppliers. We and our local suppliers reserve the right to remove you from any trip if you endanger yourself or others. In any such case, there will be no refund.

HEALTH AND SAFETY ADVISORY: It is each Passengers’ responsibility to educate themselves on current travel alerts by visiting http://travel.state.govand/or http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/.

For purposes of this Section, "disparage" shall mean any negative statement, review, report or ranking, whether written or oral, about Social Suitcases and its companies, employees, officers, directors. Such actions as stated are in breach of this non-disparagement agreement and entitles Social Suitcases to seek compensation for damages in the amount of $50,000 per instance.
