General Terms & Conditions of Booking & Sale

‍ ‍

THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF BOOKING AND SALE (“TERMS & CONDITIONS”) CONTAIN VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS, AS WELL AS CONDITIONS, LIMITATIONS, AND EXCLUSIONS. PLEASE READ THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS CAREFULLY.

‍The purchase of any transportation or sleeping accommodations for the use of a traveler, tourist, or sightseer, or any other services combined with that transportation or sleeping accommodation (collectively referred to as “Travel Services”) and any related products or services bundled with the Travel Services (collectively the “Travel Booking”) through LM Movement Travel Ltd. (referred to as “Movement Travel”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) constitutes a contractual agreement between the traveler(s), client(s), customer(s), consumer(s), and/or purchaser(s), (collectively referred to as “you” and “your”) and us. In these Terms & Conditions, references to “you” and “your” include the first named person on the Travel Booking and all persons on whose behalf a Travel Booking is made and you consent to our use of personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and are authorized on behalf of all persons named on the Travel Booking to disclose their personal details to us.

‍These Terms & Conditions are subject to change by us without prior written notice and in our sole discretion. Any changes to these Terms & Conditions will be in effect as of the “Last Updated Date” referenced on our website https://www.movementtravel.com/terms-conditions-booking-sale. You should review these Terms & Conditions prior to making a Travel Booking with us.

‍Your acknowledgement and consent at the end of these Terms & Conditions and payment and access to Travel Services affirms your acceptance of these Terms & Conditions as well as any changes to our terms.

‍AGENCY

‍Movement Travel is not acquiring the rights to any component of your Travel Booking and acts as a Travel Counsellor, Travel Advisor, or Outside Sales Representative (collectively referred to as “Advisor”) of Nexion Canada ULC - Travel Industry Council of Ontario (“TICO”) Registration No. 1549342 (“Travel Agency”) only. Many, if not all, of the components that make up your Travel Booking are provided by independent third-party suppliers including without limitation, accommodation providers, airlines, cruise companies, tour operators, transportation providers, specialty services providers, and retreat hosts (collectively referred to as “Travel Suppliers”). Payment for your Travel Booking to us, the Travel Agency, or Travel Supplier, binds you to the Terms & Conditions of the Travel Supplier, and: (i) if for any reason, any Travel Supplier is unable to provide the services for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the Travel Supplier and not against us or the Travel Agency; (ii) we do not represent that any travel products or services will be suitable for you and we do not accept legal liability or responsibility for any services of a Travel Supplier that does not meet your expectations; and (iii) we rely on the information that is provided by the Travel Supplier to assist you to make an informed decision but we cannot guarantee the accuracy in respect thereof.

‍It is possible that flight times, accommodations, and other components of your Travel Booking may change even after the Travel Booking is completed and partial or full payment is received. We recommend you familiarize yourself with the Terms & Conditions of the Travel Supplier by referring to their websites, booking confirmations, and invoices provided by us. Any personalized requests (e.g. seat selection, specific room type, or location) are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed.

‍SPECIAL INTEREST TRAVEL / RETREATS

‍When Travel Services are bundled with classes, seminars, workshops, and experiences (collectively referred to as “Specialty Services”), they form a “Travel Package”.  The Travel Package forms part of your Travel Booking. Travel Packages include without limitation, wellness retreats, yoga retreats, fitness retreats, Pilates retreats, art retreats, hiking retreats, surf retreats, women’s retreats, and writing retreats (collectively referred to as “Retreats”) and fall under TICO’s Guidelines for Special Interest Travel.

‍Special Interest Travel / Retreats consists of a Travel Package organized, guided, and hosted by our clients (“Retreat Host”) and not us. The Retreat Host(s)’ primary focus is not selling Travel Services and therefore, they are not registered with TICO. If your Travel Booking includes a Travel Package, the Retreat Host(s) is/are considered a Travel Supplier.

‍By registering and paying for a Travel Package you understand and agree that:

  • ‍The organization, delivery, quality, and overall experience of the Travel Package is the sole responsibility of the Retreat Host(s) and depends on their selection of other Travel Suppliers who will provide services for the Travel Package. We act only as the Advisor and do not advise, supervise, control, or direct the Retreat Host(s) or other Travel Suppliers.

  • Your experience will depend entirely on the Retreat Host(s)’ conduct, judgement, and ability to deliver the Travel Package as advertised. It is your responsibility to determine whether the Retreat Host(s) is/are well suited to organize and deliver the Travel Package.

  • You are solely responsible for determining if the Travel Package is suitable for you. Prior to paying for a Travel Package, you must ensure that every aspect of the Travel Package, as well as the destination(s), itinerary, and activity level are suitable for your personal circumstances, health, fitness level, abilities, and travel preferences. After making a non-refundable payment for a Travel Package, you will not be refunded if you later determine the Travel Package is not suitable for you.

  • Retreat Host(s) are often individuals, small businesses, or independent studios with limited resources which may result in a higher risk of modifications to, or cancellations of, the Travel Package compared to larger and more established Travel Suppliers.

  • If you are not satisfied with your Travel Package for any reason, or some or all of your Travel Package is cancelled, modified, or otherwise fails to meet your expectations, any claim for damages or requests for compensation must be directed to the Retreat Host(s) or other Travel Supplier(s) and not us. Reimbursement is highly unlikely. Under no circumstances will we refund or compensate you for claims or damages related to a Travel Package. Further, any disputes related to a Travel Package are strictly between you and the Retreat Host(s) or other Travel Supplier(s) and will not involve us.

  • Important information about the Travel Package, including the cancellation policy, will be included in our invoices. You are responsible for reviewing each invoice carefully and notifying us of any errors or discrepancies within 24-hours of receipt. We will not be responsible or held liable for any errors or discrepancies otherwise. If you cancel the Travel Package, you will be bound by the cancellation policy in the invoice. In the event of any discrepancies the cancellation policy in our invoice will prevail. 

  • In the event the Travel Package is cancelled, we will not reimburse you for any losses or expenses you may incur for non-refundable Travel Bookings made by you, or us on your behalf. This includes without limitation, flights, accommodations for additional nights, transfers, tours, activities, or travel insurance.

  • If a Retreat Host is unable to attend the retreat due to circumstances beyond our control, we have the right to appoint a suitable replacement Retreat Host to deliver the Travel Package as advertised. The Retreat will proceed as scheduled and if you decide to cancel, you will be bound by the cancellation policy in the invoice.

  • If the advertised accommodations become unavailable due to circumstances beyond our control including but not limited to weather events, bankruptcy, property damage, material changes to the facilities or agreed upon provisions, or if for any other reason we determine the accommodations to be unsuitable, we will make reasonable efforts to secure a comparable replacement. If a comparable replacement is found and determined by us to be substantially equivalent to the original accommodations advertised, the Retreat will proceed as scheduled, and if you decide to cancel, you will be bound by the cancellation policy in the invoice.

  • Many, if not all, of your payments for a Travel Package are non-refundable. Under no circumstances will we refund you any non-refundable amounts.

  • Retreat Host(s) in Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec are not permitted to collect, or facilitate payments to another Travel Supplier for Travel Services. If a Retreat Host requests payment from you for Travel Services, you must notify us immediately.

  • Retreat Hosts in Ontario may collect payment directly from you for Specialty Services they provide as permitted by TICO Special Interest Travel Guidelines_2022. Under no circumstances will any funds you pay directly to Retreat Host(s) be refunded by us.  Further, any disputes related to payments made for Specialty Services are strictly between you and the Retreat Host(s) and will not involve us.

  • If you file a complaint about a Retreat with TICO, another regulator, or legal authority (collectively referred to as “Regulator”) and the Regulator decides you are entitled to a partial or full refund, we will only refund you the amount we have not yet paid to Travel Suppliers. In the event of a shortfall, your remedy lies solely with the Retreat Host(s) or other Travel Supplier(s), and not with us, and you agree not to pursue, nor will be entitled to, any compensation from us.

  • You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Movement Travel and the Travel Agency for any financial losses or physical damages resulting from or related to your purchase of a Travel Package due to cancellation by you, the Retreat Host(s), or other Travel Supplier, or for any other reason during travel or a retreat. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND PURCHASING COMPREHENSIVE TRAVEL INSURANCE INCLUDING AT A MINIMUM OUT-OF-PROVINCE (or STATE) MEDICAL AND TRIP CANCELLATION & TRIP INTERRUPTION INSURANCE TO PROTECT YOU AND YOUR INVESTMENT AGAINST UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES. Without sufficient travel protection coverage, YOU MAY BE EXPOSED TO SUBSTANTIAL FINANCIAL LOSS for out-of-pocket expenses that include, without limitation (i) medical treatments and emergencies while abroad, (ii) trip cancellation or interruption by you, Retreat Host(s), or other Travel Supplier, (iii) trip delays or extensions, or (iv) lost or stolen baggage and/or personal belongings. You agree to NOT HOLD MOVEMENT TRAVEL, THE TRAVEL AGENCY, AND ITS AGENTS RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY LOSSES, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES YOU INCUR BECAUSE OF YOUR DECISION NOT TO PURCHASE TRAVEL INSURANCE.

ADVENTURE TRAVEL

‍You acknowledge that Special Interest Travel, including Retreats, and any other travel that involves heightened risk of injury or illness due to the nature of the activity or the physical environment (“Adventure Travel”) included in your Travel Booking may pose significant risks to your health and safety.

‍Adventure Travel may involve more strenuous activities than you are used to, including without limitation, activities such as yoga, Pilates, fitness classes, workouts, strength training, walking, running, hiking, biking, rock climbing, swimming, surfing, SUP, kayaking, and other water sports. These activities may involve a significant amount of risk and danger to your health and safety. You must be in good physical and mental health to participate, and the activities may take place in areas where there is little or no access to normal medical services, hospitals or medical facilities for serious problems. Medical and evacuation expenses will be your responsibility; comprehensive Out-Of-Province (or State) Medical Insurance is strongly recommended. Under no circumstances will we be responsible or held liable for any expenses you incur due to insufficient travel protection coverage.

‍You acknowledge that: (i) by the very nature of Adventure Travel it may be more challenging and demanding with a commensurately significant degree of personal risk and danger involved in participating compared with more conventional travel, tours and activities, and may involve potential exposure to injury, and in the countries and regions in which it is undertaken, standards of accommodation, transport, health care, hygiene, safety and service provision may not be as high as those standards in your country of residence; (ii) it may involve travel and visiting to remote or developing regions, where medical care may not be easily accessible; (iii) the condition of medical facilities in the countries you may visit varies and we make no representations and give no warranties in relation to the availability or standard of medical facilities in those regions; (iv) operational control may be in the hands of a third party and that your right of action in regard to any shortcomings of that third party’s performance is against the third party and not against us; and (v) the enjoyment and excitement may be derived in part from the inherent dangers and risks associated with Adventure Travel and that those inherent dangers and risks are a reason why you wish to undertake and participate in Special Interest Travel / Retreats.

‍You are responsible for assessing whether Adventure Travel and your participation thereof is suitable for you. You should consult your physician to confirm your fitness for travel and participation in Adventure Travel and any related and planned activities. You should seek your physician’s advice on vaccinations and medical precautions. We do not provide medical advice. It is your responsibility to assess the risks and requirements of each aspect of the Adventure Travel based on your own unique circumstances, limitations, fitness level, mental health, and medical requirements.

‍PRICE, AVAILABILITY, AND INCREASES 

‍Travel Supplier prices and availability quoted are subject to change (at the sole discretion of the Travel Supplier) at any time until full payment has been received and tickets, confirmations, and/or invoices have been issued. We do not warrant that prices will not change until a Travel Booking is paid in full. If the total price of the Travel Booking is increased and the cumulative increase is more than 7% (except increases resulting from foreign exchange fluctuations or an increase in retail sales tax or federal Goods and Services Tax or Harmonized Sales Tax), you have the right to cancel the contract and obtain a full refund from the Travel Supplier, as per TICO regulations. Airfares and tour operator rates are subject to change without notice if full payment for a Travel Booking has not been received.  

‍Additional airport, hotel, car rental, government taxes (other than sales tax), and other such fees may not be included in the price of your Travel Booking or Travel Package. These are frequently collected at the destination and may include without limitation tourist occupancy taxes, mandatory car rental insurance, resort fees, and entry visas. 

‍TRAVEL SUPPLIER PAYMENTS

‍All deposits and subsequent payments are due in accordance with the Travel Supplier payment terms and policies and Movement Travel cannot be held responsible for payment disputes. Payment due dates vary and are dictated by the Travel Supplier, not us. Payment is required by the due date if a Travel Supplier accepts credit card payment. Payment is required no less than 10 business days prior to the due date if a Travel Supplier requires payment by wire transfer. Some airfares or other Travel Supplier payments must be paid in full at the time of booking. Some or all the monies paid to Travel Suppliers may be non-refundable. If payment dates are missed, the Travel Booking may be cancelled and deposits forfeited, and you will be responsible for paying us cancellation fees and any Travel Supplier penalties as a result.  

‍CREDIT CARD CHARGEBACK

‍If for any reason, a Travel Supplier is unable to provide any component of the Travel Booking for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the Travel Supplier, and not us and in the event that payment has been made to us by credit card, you agree that you will not seek to chargeback your payment to us. If the credit card payment is passed through to a Travel Supplier and you seek to chargeback your payment from the Travel Supplier, you agree not to hold us liable and to indemnify us against this chargeback from the Travel Supplier, including without limitation any air debit memos charged to us.

‍Credit card payments processed by us appear as “LM Movement Travel Ltd” and credit card payments processed by the Travel Agency appear as “Travel Agent Service Fee” or “Pinsight Hotel” on your credit card statement. If we incur any expenses, including but not limited to legal and processing fees, to recover any payments charged back by your credit card company, you agree that you will be liable for those expenses in addition to a Credit Card Chargeback Fee of $75.

‍If your credit card, as the form of payment is declined, you guarantee that you will settle any amounts owing to us via another payment method immediately and you must pay us a Declined Credit Card Fee of $75. You also understand that no prices or space can be held, and no portion of your Travel Booking will be confirmed, until full payment is received.

‍TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION

‍You are responsible for compliance with any passport, visa, and entry requirements for the country(s) you are visiting in your Travel Booking. It is strongly advised that you travel with a passport valid for a minimum of 6 months after the last date of your Travel Booking even if a country’s minimum validity period is less. A passport is the only reliable and universally accepted travel and identification document. Using other documentation such as travel confirmations, drivers’ licenses, or refugee status cards may result in delays, being denied boarding, and/or refusal of entry into a country. Any fines, penalties, payments, or expenditures incurred because you do not meet the entry requirements or are not permitted into a country, will be your sole responsibility.

‍Any entry requirement information provided to you is dependent on the accuracy of the information provided by you. Entry requirements can change prior to your intended travel date. It is your responsibility to verify documentation requirements as your travel date approaches and during your trip if required. For reference purposes only, you may review current entry requirements at https://apply.joinsherpa.com/travel-restrictions?affiliateId=sherpa&language=en-US. It is also strongly recommended to verify entry requirement information with a country’s consulate office and/or website. 

‍Any change to the length of stay may result in a change of documentation needed to travel. Failure to provide the required documents may result in being denied boarding privileges by the carrier or relevant authorities, without further recourse or the possibility of a refund. Cruise passengers must present a valid passport, regardless of the entry requirements for their country of embarkation. Immigration authorities have the sole discretion to deny entry even when the relevant documentation is provided. A traveler with criminal history may be denied entry. We recommend that you inquire with the Consular Affairs Bureau for Canadians Abroad or review online the Essential Information for Canadian Travelers Guide at https://travel.gc.ca/ to satisfy personal requirements. If you are not a citizen of Canada, we recommend that you inquire with the relevant authority in your country that oversees travel abroad for citizens of your country. Some countries require travelers to be issued a special international driver’s permit and/or international proof of insurance.

‍HEALTH AND SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

‍It is your responsibility to ensure you are aware of any health requirements, advisories, or travel restrictions applicable to your travel destinations and to ensure that you carry all necessary vaccination documentation. For some countries, international health certificates and vaccinations are required. In some cases, failure to present required vaccination documentation (e.g. Yellow Fever vaccination) may result in you being denied entry into a country. We recommend you consult a travel medical service or specialist vaccination clinic at least 6-weeks prior to your departure date. 

‍As it relates to any health emergency, a Travel Supplier or local authorities at travel destinations may require without limitation, specific testing, such as a temperature check, or proof of vaccination prior to boarding and/or upon arrival at your destination. You may be denied entry onto your carrier, into a country, or be required to self-quarantine at your destination and upon your return to your home country. You must comply with local government regulations. Additional costs and penalties levied by any Government or local authority or because of Government health orders such as mandatory quarantine at a hotel, are your responsibility. General health advice for the destination you wish to visit is also available on the Government of Canada Travel and Tourism website at https://travel.gc.ca/  For up-to-date travel advisories from the Government of Canada, please refer to the following website – https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/advisories.

‍TRAVEL PROTECTION COVERAGE

‍For your protection, we strongly recommend, at a minimum, you purchase Out-Of-Province (or State) Medical Insurance and Trip Interruption & Trip Cancellation Insurance. It is also recommended to extend your coverage to include all other costs and expenses that may arise because of loss, damage, injury, death, delay, or inconvenience while traveling. However, no representation or description of the protection made by us to you, constitutes a binding assurance or promise about the protection. We are not an insurance company and have no responsibility for the submission, payment, or adjustment of any insurance claims. Any claims that may fall under the relevant travel protection policy must be submitted to the insurance company identified in the policy. 

‍You acknowledge that insurance coverage is not included in the cost of any Travel Booking or Travel Package and you are required to obtain separate coverage at your own expense. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have sufficient insurance coverage and comply with the terms of the applicable insurance plans. You are responsible for advising your insurer of the type of travel, destination(s), and activities in your Travel Booking or Travel Package so that the insurer may provide appropriate coverage. We will not be responsible for any loss, injury, damage, cost, or expense to you resulting from insufficient insurance coverage. Questions concerning specific coverage must be addressed directly to the insurance/protection provider. We shall not in any way be held responsible for any and/or all information provided by insurance providers’ employees and/or agents in this regard.

‍If you are a Canadian Resident (excluding Quebec & Saskatchewan), you may obtain and online quote for Manulife Travel Insurance here. If you are a resident of Quebec or Saskatchewan, please contact your own insurance agent.

‍CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS

‍Please be aware that flight and other Travel Bookings may be non-refundable and/or non-changeable. Any changes or amendments to the itinerary or passenger(s) details may not be permitted or will incur a penalty from the airline, Travel Supplier, or us. By acknowledging and accepting these Terms & Conditions, we are hereby authorized by you to seek to recover any refunds/credits that may be available from any airline and other Travel Supplier if requested. Airline tickets are generally non-refundable once travel has commenced. If you cancel or change any flight segment or portion of your Travel Booking, you must advise us and/or the Travel Supplier immediately. Depending on the Travel Supplier’s cancellation policy, you may lose some or all the value of the remaining portion of your purchase. In addition, any change or cancellation initiated by you will incur a penalty from us. 

‍From time-to-time airlines may change or cancel your flight which is out of our control. If you require additional assistance from us to change or rebook your flight(s) after a change or cancellation has been initiated by an airline, a Change Fee will apply.

‍Special Requests are requests by you for services not traditionally provided by an Advisor and can include without limitation reservations for restaurants, spa appointments, and event planning. Special Request Fees are rounded up to the next quarter hour, and you will be advised in advance if this fee applies to your request.

‍FLIGHT RESERVATIONS, ERRORS, SCHEDULE CHANGES AND CHECK-IN

‍Movement Travel only makes flight reservations that have a flexible change or cancellation policy where a flight can be i) cancelled for either a full refund or full refund less a fee, ii) changed for free or for a fee or iii) exchanged for a future travel credit, prior to departure. We will not make any flight reservations that cannot be changed or cancelled. You are responsible for paying change or cancellation fees charged by the airline in addition to our fees.

‍You are responsible for reviewing your flight reservation(s) and advising us of any errors or discrepancies within 24-hours of booking. We will not be held responsible if you are unable to complete your flight or incur additional costs due to errors in your reservation that include without limitation incorrect dates, or flight times and/or name or date of birth details that do not match your travel document, if the error was not brought to our attention within 24-hours of booking.

‍Flight times shown in your Travel Booking may change between the date of booking and the date of travel. It is your responsibility to confirm your flight departure times. We are not responsible for schedule changes.

‍It is strongly recommended you check-in online in advance for flights and should arrive at the airport at least 2-hours for domestic and 3-hours for international prior to the scheduled departure time of your flight. All travelers must be present with their boarding documents, passport, and necessary visas for the destination. Any traveler arriving late for check-in will be denied boarding and will be responsible for any additional expense(s) that results from a missed flight.

‍BAGGAGE ALLOWANCES AND RESTRICTIONS

‍Not all air carriers have the same baggage allowance policy, and it is your responsibility to check the policy before your trip. Weight, excess, and piece limitations as well as baggage fees can vary from one air carrier to the next. You, and not us, will be responsible for paying all baggage fees. 

‍ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION FOR TRAVELERS

‍Travelers should be aware that different living standards and practices may exist outside of your home country including but not limited to provision of utilities, e.g. water and electricity, accommodations, services of all kinds, food, food preparation, and water quality. We will not be held responsible for any loss, damage, illness, or injury resulting from different living standards.

‍The quality of accommodations advertised by a Travel Supplier has been rated in accordance with the standard of the destination and could be different from the standard of accommodations in your home country. As there is no international rating system for accommodations, standards can vary significantly. In addition, accommodation ratings for the same product may also vary between Travel Suppliers. We recommend you perform your own independent research prior to making your final decision. From time to time, service may be interrupted for renovations, maintenance, or construction. As we are a Advisor only, we cannot be held responsible for quality or interruptions of service.

‍It is possible that you will encounter difficulties related to your Travel Booking or Travel Package that are sometimes unavoidable and out of our control. We strongly recommend first addressing the situation directly with the Travel Supplier prior to contacting us.

‍A Travel Supplier may charge you additional local fees not included in our invoices, which are payable direct to the Travel Supplier. Fees may include without limitation, local government taxes collected by hotels and mandatory car rental insurance. In all instances, you, and not us, are responsible for paying these fees. In addition, some Travel Suppliers, may require a credit card guarantee prior to providing products or services. It is recommended you have sufficient available funds on your credit card.

‍TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN

‍Whether traveling alone or accompanied by an adult, each child must travel with his/her own travel documents, a passport and appropriate visa, plus supporting documentation proving custody. An adult traveling with minor children independent of the other parent(s) or legal guardian(s), is strongly advised to hold a notarized letter of travel consent signed by other parent(s) or legal guardian(s). The letter should include the signor’s address, phone details, authorization to travel, destination, and length of stay. If a parent/guardian is divorced or deceased, a custody document or death certificate is recommended. It is your responsibility to obtain all documents, as required by relevant government authorities of the country you are visiting. Some countries may not permit children to enter or, in some cases, leave the country without proper documentation such as a letter of consent or a court order. We recommend you obtain information from the consulate of destination. Further information regarding children and travel is available with the Government of Canada Travel and Tourism at https://travel.gc.ca/

‍BEHAVIOUR EXPECTATIONS

‍You agree to be respectful to all other travellers, Retreat Host(s), Travel Agency, Movement Travel and their employees and contractors, third party vendors, travel or transport providers and hospitality workers at the travel or Retreat location. You also agree to communicate and respond to our correspondence in a timely manner and to abide by all the rules, laws and safety regulations while traveling. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to cancel a Travel Booking or Travel Package immediately, at your own cost and expense, if these expectations are violated, or if you are behaving in an unreasonable, abusive or disrespectful manner or otherwise interfering with the safety, experience or enjoyment of other clients.

‍RESPONSIBILITY AND COMPLAINTS

‍We do our best to make sure your travel arrangements are satisfactory. However, Movement Travel, the Travel Agency, and its employees, shareholders, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, successors, agents, and assigns do not own or operate any entity which provides goods and services for your Travel Booking or Travel Package including without limitation, accommodation, airline, vessel, motor coach, or other transportation companies, guides or guide services, local tour operators, Retreat Hosts, providers or organizers of optional excursions, food service providers, etc. All such persons and entities are independent contractors and are in no way affiliated to us. 

‍You agree to bring any complaints to us as soon as possible to provide us with the opportunity to properly address such a complaint. We assume no liability for complaints that are not properly and promptly brought to our attention, and we cannot resolve or attempt to resolve complaints until proper notice is provided. Any complaint made after the completion of a Travel Booking or Travel Package must be received in writing by us within fifteen (15) days of the last day of the Travel Booking or Travel Package.

‍LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES, AND FORCE MAJEURE INCIDENTS

‍Movement Travel and the Travel Agency are not liable for any negligent or willful act or failure to act of any Travel Supplier or of any third party. In addition, and without limitation, we are not responsible for any injury, loss, pain and suffering, emotional distress, death, inconvenience, delay, or damage to person or property in connection with the provision of any goods or services, including those related to Special Interest Travel / Retreats. We cannot be held liable for loss and damages whether resulting from, but not limited to, acts of God or force majeure, illness, disease, acts of war or civil unrest, insurrection or revolt, animals, strikes or other labor activities, fraudulent, criminal or terrorist activities of any kind, overbooking or downgrading of accommodations, mechanical or other failure of airplanes or other means of transportation, or for any failure of any transportation mechanism to arrive or depart on time. Also, be advised that certain foreign facilities such as air-conditioning systems in public places, hotels and motor coaches may not be up to your current living standards. If due to weather, flight schedules or other uncontrollable factors you are required to spend additional night(s), you will be responsible for your own accommodation, transfers, and meal costs. Baggage is entirely at the owner’s responsibility and assumes all risk. The prices of tours are based on rates in effect (including foreign exchange rates) at the time of printing and are subject to change without notice.

‍WAIVER OF RECOURSE TO THE COURTS AND BINDING ARBITRATION

‍You and LM Movement Travel Ltd. are agreeing to give up any rights to litigate claims in a court. Other rights that you would have if you went to court may also be unavailable or limited in arbitration. 

‍Any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, whether pre-existing, present, or future, and including statutory, consumer protection, common law, intentional tort, injunctive and equitable claims) between you and us arising from or relating in any way to a Travel Booking, including a Special Interest Travel / Retreats Travel Package, or purchase of any products or services through us, will be resolved exclusively and finally by binding arbitration. 

‍In the unlikely event that a dispute arises between you and Movement Travel, the following conditions will apply: (a) the dispute will be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Act (British Columbia); (b) the arbitration proceeding shall be brought and held in the City of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada; (c) the arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court or competent jurisdiction; and (d) the maximum amount of recovery to which you shall be entitled under any and all circumstances will be the sum of all monies actually received from you by us. You agree that this is a fair and reasonable limitation on the damages, of any sort whatsoever, that you may suffer.

‍If any provision of these arbitration terms is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.

‍GENERAL PROVISIONS

‍Governing Law and Jurisdiction. These Terms & Conditions shall be governed by, construed and/or interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the laws of Canada applicable therein and shall be treated in all respects as a British Columbia contract, without regard to principles of conflicts of law that would impose a law of another jurisdiction.

‍Assignment. We may at any time assign any of our rights and/or obligations under these Terms & Conditions, in whole or in part, without notice to you. You may not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations under these Terms & Conditions. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this section of these Terms & Conditions is null and void.

‍No Waivers. The failure or delay by us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms & Conditions will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision.
