1.TOUR INCLUSIONS, EXCLUSIONS

MMET endeavors to keep consistency in Tours provided year after year, however, each Tour has its own elements and benefits. Please read the specifications for this Tour to learn what is, and is not, included.

1. Modifications. MMET strives to improve Tour itineraries and features. If improvements can be made, or unforeseen circumstances beyond MMET’s control make changes necessary, MMET reserves the right to vary itineraries, attractions, and substitute hotels. Every effort will be made to carry out Tours as planned; alterations may still occur after final itineraries are sent. (For example, weather conditions may force changes to the advertised cruise schedule and a ship’s captain has the authority to change a ship’s schedule.)

Deposits, payable by major credit card or check, are required to reserve space on each Tour. Deposits are applied as payment toward Tour’s cost.

Should actual registration fall below minimum required participants, a surcharge may be added (see Minimum Requirements for Operation below). Due to fluctuations in foreign currency and/or oil prices, a fuel surcharge may be added to the Tour cost at any time prior to departure (e.g.

international flights, cruises, etc.). Further, MMET reserves the right to assess a currency surcharge to Tour costs at any time prior to departure if and when there is realignment with world currencies.

1. Single Share Program / Roommate. Participants traveling alone and wanting to share a room may request assistance with acquiring shared accommodations. MMET will make reasonable efforts to find a participant of the same gender and smoking preference. When matched with a roommate, you will be given that person’s name and contact information and they yours.  You will have a set period to introduce yourselves to each other, share your information to evaluate if you will be compatible travel partners.  If you agree, you will be asked to sign a document confirming your choice.  Morris Murdock Travel can NOT be held responsible for issues that may arise during travel, should you find you are not compatible.  If during the tour you or your roommate decide to leave the room, Morris Murdock will not be held responsible for additional expenses.  You agree that you will not hold Morris Murdock responsible for the actions of your agreed roommate in the Single Share Program.   Same conditions apply for your own chosen roommate.  Please request copy of the Single Share Program for full outline.

6.AIR

Airline seat assignments and flight schedules are subject to change without notice. Airlines used for Tours are not responsible for any act, omission, or event during the time participant is not on board a plane or conveyance. The airline passenger contract, when issued, shall constitute the sold contract between the airline and participant.

• Group Air Tickets. When group flights are offered, tickets will be issued approximately 45 days prior to departure. MMET can assist with flights from participant’s home airport to the Tour’s designated domestic or international airport. All tickets are issued as an Electronic Ticket unless where impossible.

• Independently Purchased Air. Before purchasing airline tickets, check airline cancellation penalties as departure times and flights can change. MMET Tours may be cancelled due to low enrollment and MMET is not liable for any penalties (change or cancellation) related to domestic or international airline tickets purchased independently by participant in conjunction with MMET Tours. Prior to independently purchasing any airline tickets, it is recommended that operation, dates, and times of the Tour is verified with the operations manager.

• Seat Assignments. Seat assignments are an important part of a Tour experience. Each airline has specific policies regarding pre-assigned seating and MMET is bound by their rules. MMET will advise the airline(s) of seating preferences and will take reasonable actions to secure a seat request. In cases where pre-assigned seats are not available, seats will be assigned at the airport. Flight schedules and equipment changes may result in confirmed seats being changed and/or dropped. These circumstances are out of MMET’s control and must be addressed at airport check-in. MMET recommends arriving at the airport early to ensure best seat selection.

• Frequent Flyers. Frequent flyer numbers can be entered to air reservations booked by MMET. When securing reservations for free or reduced cost frequent flyer tickets, contact the specific airline for assistance.

7.TRANSFERS

Some Tours do not include air transportation. In cases where a Tour is designated as “Land Only,” the Tour begins at the arrival city’s designated airport and ends at the departure city’s designated airport. Your flight schedules must coordinate to arrive and depart in connection with our planned Tour arrivals and departure times to and from said airports. When arrival and departure times and locations are not coordinated with the Tour, transfers to and from the airport are participant’s responsibility. Specific information is provided in the first pre-trip mailing or contact MMET for assistance.

8.TOUR DEVIATIONS

Pre-arrival and/or post-departure Tour extensions are subject to availability and will incur increased fares, fees, and/or costs (Deviation Cost). Once availability and price are confirmed, participant is responsible for any Deviation Cost. MMET requires full payment for all Deviation Costs and no documents will be issued prior to receipt of full payment of all Deviation Costs.

n.         Air Deviations. Air reservations only hold for 24 hours from the time of booking and fares are not guaranteed until booked and ticketed. Airline tickets are non-refundable once purchased.

9.DOCUMENTATION

o.         Domestic. A valid government issued form of identification is required for domestic Tours. Beginning October 1, 2020, a state issued driver’s license must be REAL ID-compliant.

p.          International

Participants on any international Tour must possess a passport that is valid for six months beyond the Tour return date. Additionally, depending on length of visit or the country being visited, a visa may also be required. Please check visa requirement at time of booking. MMET provides visa information when applicable and can provide information for certain companies that expedite passports and visas. MMET is not responsible or liable if participant fails to obtain a passport or required valid visa and is unable to travel as a result.

q.         European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) Visa. Beginning 2021, in addition to a passport, participants traveling into any of the 26 countries in Schengen Zone (https://www.etiasvisa.com/etiascountries, and may soon include additional countries) are required to apply, and receive approval, for the ETIAS Visa. To successfully complete an ETIAS registration, all applicants will be required to have a valid passport, internet access, and sufficient financial means to pay for the ETIAS fee. The ETIAS, currently listed at 7€, is not included within Tour cost. The approved ETIAS Visa will be valid for three years and will be a multi-entry permit covering any trips within its validity period.

10.MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATION

In addition to specific Tour components, Tour cost is based on a minimum number of participants. If Tour participation does not reach the required minimum number, MMET may add a “Small Group Surcharge” to operate the Tour, or alternatively the Tour may be cancelled. If the Tour can operate with the Small Group Surcharge, participant will be given the option to either pay said Surcharge or cancel their reservation. If participant chooses to cancel their reservation, a full refund will be issued. If MMET can guarantee the departure with the Surcharge and then the original required minimum number of participant space is booked, MMET will refund the paid Surcharge. MMET will do everything possible to NOT to cancel departures or add surcharges. If MMET finds it necessary to cancel the Tour, participant may choose a full refund of monies paid or to move their deposit to a new available Tour.

11.CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY

If participant needs to cancel their reservation, written notice must be given. Cancellation fees are per participant and are based on the date of written notice to MMET.

• Cancellation within seven (7) calendar days of booking, if not within final payment date, receives a full refund of Tour cost, if air has been purchased, refunds will follow the airline policy.
• Cancellations after the initial 7-day grace period will have a 50% penalty of deposit amount paid up until the advised final payment date of the Tour
• Cancellations on or after final payment due date are FULLY NON-REFUNDABLE
• No refund for unused portions of a Tour, including without limitation, missed meals, hotel nights, and sightseeing

Special private Tours or select low-cost Tours and cruises may offer a lower promotional deposit and different cancellation penalties; ask your Tour Specialist for details.

There are no exceptions to our cancellation policy. Trip cancellation insurance is available at an additional cost and is strongly recommended.

12.NAME CHANGE POLICY

If someone on your reservation must cancel and you have a new person that would like to take their place, we have a policy to accommodate.

1. We allow for a free name change on the LAND tour up until 1 day before final payment date.  After final payment, a $50.00 name change fee will apply per person.  
2. Airline tickets MAY allow for a name change.  If so, a separate airline reissue fee will also apply.  Cost will vary by airline.  Call for details.

13.COST ADJUSTMENTS

All itineraries and costs may be affected by alteration in air, land, or water services of the various countries, or by other causes. MMET reserves the right to withdraw any activity/excursion included in this Tour and to make such itinerary alterations as may be necessary or desirable for the convenience of participants and the proper carrying out of this Tour. 

14.INSURANCE

MMET HIGHLY recommends you purchase travel insurance to protect your financial investment to your travel, personal health, and personal property.

1. Health. Each Participant is encouraged to carry proof of health insurance coverage for domestic travel. Additionally, mandatory health insurance coverage for entry into foreign countries can be required. Participants can be denied entry into countries that request proof of health insurance coverage and are unable to provide documentation.

• Travel. MMET strongly recommends the purchase of travel insurance for each participant as many health insurances companies, including Medicare, do not cover emergency medical care for travelers outside of their country of residence and very few health insurance companies will pay for a medical evacuation. Travel insurance benefits are specific to the type of purchased policy. Please ask your travel advisor for details; certain restrictions apply.

15.MOBILITY, SPECIAL NEEDS, and PHYSICAL and MENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

Tour participants are required to be able to understand and follow instructions always given by the Tour Director, both for the successful operation of the Tour as well as for personal safety. For Tour enjoyment, it is imperative to select one that is suitable to one’s physical capabilities as Tours require participants be in good physical and mental health.

Some Tours require participants to be capable of, without assistance, walking a minimum of one mile over uneven terrain and climbing stairs that may not have handrails. Participants should have sufficient stamina to keep pace with an active group of travelers on long days of touring. Escorted Tours are fast paced, often requiring lengthy walks over uneven terrain. In the interests of group harmony, Tour participants should be able to maintain the pace of the Tour. Please contact a Tour Specialist with any questions about required abilities for specific Tours.

Tour participants requiring any form of assistance, including participants with physical disabilities, sight, or hearing impairments, or requiring special attention, are required to notify MMET prior to reservation for review and to obtain agreement for participation. MMET reserves the right to accept, decline, or to retain any person as a member of any party at any time. MMET will make reasonable attempts to accommodate the special needs of Tour participants, however, may not always be able to do so. 

MMET is not responsible or liable for any denial of services by carriers, hotels, and other independent suppliers. Most international hotels, motor coaches, and cruise ships have very limited handicapped facilities. MMET does not provide walking sticks, canes, walkers, wheelchairs, wheelchair assistance, or individual assistance to a Tour participant for walking, dining, getting on and off motorcoaches and other vehicles, carrying baggage, or other personal needs. Do not plan on mobility aids being available at Tour sites. Tour managers, guides, drivers, or other Tour, hotel, and ship personnel are not able to assist with walking or maneuvering through the sites as he/she has responsibilities to all Tour participants within the group.

MMET cannot provide individual assistance to participants for walking, dining, other personal needs, and getting on and off motor coaches, ships, and other transportation vehicles. Tour participants who need such assistance must be accompanied by a qualified companion. 

1. Domestic. Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), MMET seeks to accommodate disabled travelers to the extent possible and consistent with the specific Tour itinerary. MMET Tours within the United States and Canada more widely accept collapsible wheelchairs, however even to this there are exceptions, so it always is best to confirm.  Nevertheless, you may find certain itineraries and/or Tour features may not be accessible to the extent that you require a wheelchair, scooter, or other special equipment to participate. Motorcoaches are not equipped with wheelchair lifts and space limitations make motorized scooters harder to accommodate. There are certain model collapsible motorized scooters that can be accommodated on many of our Tours; if applicable to you, please inquire for further information.

• International. The international community does not adhere to the same accessibility standards that cruises, hotels, restaurants, and public buildings do in the United States. Therefore, as a rule due to physical constraints and space limitations, wheelchairs and motorized scooters are not accepted for international and exotic destinations. Some establishments may not have ramps, wide entryways, or elevators to

accommodate disabled passengers or devices such as wheelchairs, walkers, and motorized scooters and access may be limited. That, combined with Tour itineraries that might require a considerable bit of walking in old historic city sections, in and around attractions, over cobblestone streets, up hills, and climbing staircases, make wheelchairs and motorized scooters impractical to bring.

• Walking and Standing. For maximum enjoyment of this Tour, be prepared for daily walking, stairs with or without railings, navigating steep steps and inclines, cobblestones, and uneven and/or unpaved surfaces. Historic city centers are usually more accessible by foot than vehicle. Sometimes, it is not possible for motorcoaches to drop participants off at entrances to hotels and sights. Comfortable, sturdy, tried and-tested walking shoes with rubber soles that help grip slippery/uneven surfaces are recommended for daily sightseeing. Consider bringing a collapsible walking stick or trekking pole to help with mobility difficulties. Additionally, some of these sticks come with a folding seat that works well for difficulties in standing for long periods of time.  Again, participants needing such assistance are required to always be accompanied by a qualified and physically able companion responsible for providing such assistance and/or services.

• Dietary Needs / Allergies. Many special dietary needs can be accommodated with advance notice, however, cannot be guaranteed. Different destinations make some dietary needs harder to accommodate than others. MMET will do everything reasonably possible in communicating requests to hotels and restaurants. Common dietary requests like ‘low sodium’ or ‘vegetarian’ are likely to be accommodated much easier than very special or unique dietary needs. Meals that are full a la carte offer more flexibility for special dietary requests as do some limited a la carte meals. For the occasional ‘set menu’ or ‘buffet meals’ on MMET Tours, unique dietary needs may prove a bit more challenging. Tour participants with non-food allergies (medicine, other) need to inform MMET at time of reservation as well.

• Conduct / Disruption. Participant agrees to conduct themselves in a dignified and orderly manner while participating on this Tour with full regard for the health, safety, and welfare of all Tour related parties, and shall not engage in any activity that is detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of all Tour related parties. Participant understands and agrees that if they unreasonably interfere with, disturb, disrupt, or distract another participant from enjoying or participating with the Tour, MMET has the right to require participant to leave the Tour with no obligation for reimbursement. Participants understands and agrees that MMET and the owners of any facilities used for this Tour shall not be liable for any loss or expense, including attorney(s’) or solicitor(s’) fees and costs that participant may sustain through the exercise of such right.

MMET reserves the right to reject participation or remove participant from this tour if notification was not provided and/or when, in MMET’s sole judgment, continued participation would significantly hinder the services to be provided to all Tour participants. Expenses, including cancellation fees and/or costs for alternate travel plans or to return home, will be borne by participant.

16.DATA AND SECURITY PRIVACY

MMET has an established, and will maintain, an information security program containing appropriate administrative, technical and physical measures to protect participant data (including personal information) against accidental or unlawful destruction, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access consistent with applicable laws. MMET shall process participant personal information only for the purposes of carrying out MMET’s Tour obligations. If MMET becomes aware of a security breach or any other event that compromises the security, confidentiality, or integrity of participant’s personal information, MMET shall notify participant as soon as possible, yet not later than 72 hours. At participant’s written direction or request, MMET shall return or delete personal information of a data subject or third party. MMET shall not sell participant personal information data. MMET shall notify participant as soon as possible, but not later than 72 hours, if it receives a request from a data subject to exercise rights under data protection laws. The parties agree to abide by applicable privacy and data security laws.  

MMET may use Supplier to provide certain services and perform functions on MMET’s behalf. MMET may provide participant personal data only to the extent necessary for such Suppler to perform the duties for which it has been retained. As such, Supplier will be bound to strict confidentiality and use obligations with respect to any personal data, which are no less protective than those set out in MMET’s Privacy Policy. MMET is permitted to provide Supplier with participant information including, without limitation, personal data, access information, and usage data to fulfill all components of the Tour. 

17.INABILITY OR IMPOSSIBILITY OF PERFORMANCE, FORCE MAJEURE

In the event MMET is unable to coordinate and arrange any portion of or all of the services and/or facilities as specified in a Tour as a result of any delay of flights and/or transportation services, interruption, strikes, lock-outs, work stoppages, bad weather, fire, flood, epidemic, threats, riots, terrorist activities, insurrections, conditions, acts, and/or orders of civil and/or military authority, emergencies, acts of God, or any other cause or circumstance beyond the reasonable control of MMET, MMET does not assume any responsibility for and cannot be held liable for any loss or additional costs which may be caused thereby. MMET may terminate the Tour after determining that such delay or default will prevent successful performance of the Tour. 

If any such circumstances do occur after the beginning of Tour, MMET will use all reasonable efforts to meet participant’s immediate travel or accommodation needs and participant agrees to reimburse MMET for any additional costs incurred thereby, upon invoice from MMET. Participant’s sole and exclusive remedy is MMET shall return to participant its deposits and payments as recovered by MMET from Suppliers, less service and handling fees.

18.COVID 19 AND OTHER WORLDWIDE SITUATIONS WAIVER

By registering and making a payment on this tour you are signifying that you are aware of the current worldwide healthy concerns such as we experienced with the 2020 Covid-19 Pandemic, and fully and forever release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue vendors, suppliers, or third parties (collectively Supplier) or Morris Murdock Escorted Tours (MMET) (including without limitation, Morris Murdock Travel, parent entities, members, managers, employees, representatives, or agents [collectively, Company]) from and for any and all demands, claims, actions, suits, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including without limitation, attorney(s’) fees, costs, and expenses), from any cause whatsoever (including without limitation, travel delays, property damage and loss, bodily injuries, sickness, disease, and death), directly or indirectly arising in connection with my participation in this tour, whether or not foreseeable or contributed to by grossly negligent acts or omission of Supplier, MMET, Company, or their agents. I further agree to indemnify and hold Supplier, MMET, and Company harmless from all costs and fees caused by changes I make to any portion of the itinerary and the corresponding tour changes.

I agree to abide by the set requirements both domestic and international, and should I be unwilling to abide to any changes made prior to travel that I am fully responsible financially for the cancellation penalties that I would incur by my choice.
