Release and
Agreement
By enrolling on this
tour, participants have made the choice to travel with the teacher/group
leader organizing the group, and understand that this choice is not the
responsibility of TLT or OBA. TLT may provide a replacement group leader
should my original group leader be unable to, or determine not to,
participate in the tour. Participants must secure the necessary travel
documents (passport and visa[s]); failure to do so does not constitute
grounds for refund except according to normal cancellation guidelines
outlined above. If participant becomes ill or incapacitated TLT and its
employees, or group leader may take action they deem necessary for his/her
safety and well-being, including securing medical treatment (at
participants expense) and transportation home.
Participants agree to
abide by all local laws when abroad, including those concerning drugs and
alcohol. Failure to do so is to waive the right to a refund of any part of
the program fee, and that violation of such laws allows TLT to send
offender home at his/her own expense. Participants will be required to pay
for any phone calls or incidental personal expenses occurred at hotels, as
well as any damage caused to hotel rooms or busses.
Participants agree to
release One By Air, Inc. (which term shall include officers, shareholders,
and employees, as well as OBA itself) and school and group leaders from ,
and agree to not sue such persons for, any claims that arise from, or in
connection with, any physical or property damage suffered from any cause
whatsoever other than the actual negligence of such persons. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, participants agree not to sue
such persons for, any physical or property damage suffered as a result
from acts of God, war, strikes or government restrictions, terrorist
activities, or the acts or omissions of any other agents over which such
persons have no direct control, including, without limitation, airlines,
bus companies, railways, shipping companies, hotels, guides, and
sub-contracted agents or tour operators.
This tour has been
designed in its pacing, educational content and other aspects of the tour
