The terms therefore may vary for each getaway that is operated with another party.

IDENTIFICATION: Guests are required to make reservations in the full name that is listed on his/her government document they will use for travel. If you need to make any changes to a name after travel documents have been issued, clients will be responsible for all name change fees, if applicable.
PASSPORTS AND VISAS: Passengers are responsible for ensuring that they have the proper travel documents and MUST CHECK with the respective consulate(s) or visa agency to determine whether any visas or passports are required. Passports are required to be valid for at least 6 months after the date of travel. Some countries require a full blank “VISA” page in the passport for stamping purposes. Any information provided on the travel description pertains to US citizens only. Non-US citizens should check with the respective consulate of the country(s) to be visited for current entry requirements. We strongly suggest all cruise passengers have a valid passport in their possession while cruising.
TRAVEL PROTECTION: Missing a vacation is bad enough. Losing the money you paid for your vacation is even worse. Therefore, we highly recommend Travel Protection that helps provide coverage for Trip Cancellation, Interruption, Baggage Loss or Delay, Medical Expenses, and more. You are required to select and purchase travel insurance yourself for domestic and international tours. For Caribbean, Mexico, and Cruise Tours, we can add travel insurance to your package when making your reservations. You can select your own policy/coverage by clicking Travel Guard .
Enter your information and select your preferred plan. Send confirmation of your purchase to info@urbanjetsettertravel.com.
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS: Provided full payment is received no later than your Final Payment Due date, travel documents and travel instructions will be sent via email and/or mail 30 days or earlier prior to travel. If paper documents are requested when e-documents are available, documents will be delivered via USPS approximately 14-21 days prior, and a fee of $30 will apply. A complete street address is required (no PO boxes).
CHILDREN: All children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. The minimum age for children on most tours is 6 months. The minimum age for South Africa and Dubai Tours is 12. The minimum age for European Tour programs is 12. The minimum age for cruise tours is 6 months old and the child must sail in a cabin with an adult over the age of 25 years of age. Discounts for children sharing a room as third-person may apply to children under 12 at some resorts on Caribbean and Mexico Tours. Accompanying adults are responsible for the safety of their children including providing any necessary safety equipment (such as infant/child seats) where appropriate. Please note that many countries have adopted practices to prevent international abductions of children. If a person under the age of 18 years will be traveling with an adult other than his/her parents, or with only one parent, a notarized letter written by the parents, or non-traveling parent, granting authorization to travel, including the dates of travel should be carried.
PRICES: All prices listed are per person based upon shared double room occupancy unless otherwise clearly specified. Prices do not include items of a personal nature such as laundry, wines, water, beverages, food (other than at all-inclusive resorts or where clearly specified), passport and visa fees, insurance, and foreign port taxes unless specifically indicated in the package inclusions. Prices are correct at the time of publication; however, as airfares (if included) continually fluctuate and classes of service may have limited capacity, tour package prices and availability will change accordingly. In case of human or computer error, Urban Jetsetter Travel or UJT Beach Babes reserves the right to re-invoice for the correct price or service. A full refund will be made to passengers who choose not to pay an increase, provided Urban Jetsetter Travel receives a written cancellation within five days of the price increase notification.
PAYMENTS AND CANCELLATIONS
DEPOSIT: A deposit is due at the time of reservation. All deposits are non-refundable and non-transferrable. All reservations (except where specified) will require a deposit and will be clearly noted the amount due and monthly payment plan.
PAYMENTS: Our merchant account is with Stripe, which is linked to our invoices. We accept US dollars, bank checks, money orders, major credit cards, or debit cards. All payments made within 30 days of departure must be made by credit or debit card only. There is a $50 fee for all returned checks.
FULL PAYMENT: All reservations can be paid in full at the time of booking as long as the tour still has available space.
LATE PAYMENT: If there is any outstanding balance by the Final Payment Due date listed on your invoice, a late fee will automatically be added to your invoice one day after your final payment date. Late fees vary. Please see each individual tour description for the late fee cost.
LAST MINUTE RESERVATIONS: All reservations must be made no later than 30 days prior to departure. If requested services cannot be confirmed, payment will be refunded. If services are confirmed, final payment is due within 24 hours and all applicable cancellation penalties will apply.
RESERVATION CHANGES: Changes to an existing reservation, whatever the cause, will incur a $50 per person charge plus any additional supplier fees. This includes name changes* and removal of any services such as optional tours and transfers. *Please note that name changes to airline reservations are subject to full cancellation and rebooking. Replacing a traveling passenger with another traveling passenger constitutes a cancellation, subject to cancellation penalties, and is not covered by this Reservation Changes policy. Changes or additions after departure are subject to local rates at the time of amendment and must be paid directly by the passenger to the service provider. There are no refunds for unused services.
PAYMENT SCHEDULE: UJT uses a Payment Schedule ("Layaway Plan") to help facilitate the payments and expenses of group trips. The UJT "Layaway" payment schedule(s) noted for each trip must be strictly followed in order to guarantee the package rates in effect when your deposit is made. The client agrees to be responsible for the layaway amount due at the time of Cancellation.
Failure to follow the established payment schedule may result in changes or increases to your package rate. Payment of deposit confirms your acceptance of this policy. All rates are effective today and subject to change until a deposit is received. Failure to maintain the scheduled amount will cause liability for the unpaid portion of the layaway plan at the time of cancellation or removal for the unpaid balance.
UJT CANCELLATION POLICY: Unfortunately, there are always situations and factors that may arise to cause you to cancel your trip. Urban Jetsetter Travel always recommends that you purchase Travel Insurance (even if it's not through us) to safeguard your trip and secure your investment. Depending on the particular contract, there are usually fees and penalties involved with canceling. UJT will assess
those fees/penalties according to the particular contract/trip that you are on when resolving your cancellation request. Once reservations have been made, cancellations will only be accepted in writing. Email your cancellation request to info@urbanjetsettertravel.com with your invoice number, full name, and date of travel. If you do not receive an acknowledgment within 48 hours, please call 267-433-8272 to ensure your information was received. After a final payment date and there is a request for a refund, there will be a cancellation fee from the vendor because after the final payment date your reservation and accommodation will be confirmed. The client will assume all vendor cancellation fees.
COVID-19 WAIVER OF LIABILITY
In Spring 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) a worldwide pandemic.
