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 Somerset Tours & Travel, we reserve the right to collect all additional costs, fees and expenses associated with such chargeback, reversal or recollection, including, without limitation, attorney fees.

Should a cancellation become necessary, please inform your Somerset Tours & Travel agent immediately in writing by email and request a written confirmation of your cancellation. Upon receipt, Somerset Tours & Travel will follow industry procedures for any applicable refunds 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 Somerset Tours & Travel.

REFUND POLICY: All deposits and payments made to or through Somerset Tours & Travel are non-refundable. 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 Somerset Tours & Travel will have no further liability to you. If Travel Protection has been purchased, refunds are subject to the insurance policy and a claim must be filed with the insurance company and are subject to a non-refundable $100 per person fee imposed by Somerset Tours & Travel.

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 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. Somerset Tours & Travel 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. Somerset Tours & Travel 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 filed with the insurance provider are reviewed, accepted, or declined at the sole decision and discretion of the insurance provider and not Somerset Tours & Travel.

Certain countries have a requirement for foreign visitors to have valid medical insurance on entry. Somerset Tours & Travel 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.

FORCE MAJEURE: Somerset Tours & Travel shall not be responsible for, and shall make no refund for, events beyond its control, such as, without limitation, acts of God, strikes, acts of war, terrorism or civil disturbance, government restrictions, changes of schedules or operational decisions of air carriers, terrorist activity or the threat thereof, industrial action, natural or nuclear activity, epidemic, pandemic, illness, physical injury, quarantine, medical or customs or immigration regulation, delay, or cancellation, adverse weather conditions, fire, or for acts or omission of Third Parties or other parties not under the control of Somerset Tours & Travel and all similar events outside our control.
