Securing your booking To guarantee a reservation, Amazing Peru requires a fully completed booking form (either the one on our website or the one sent by us with your quote) together with the necessary deposit payment as stated at the time. Clients are deemed to have read and understood the conditions of sale and to have indicated this by choosing the appropriate response on the booking form. A booking is accepted and becomes definite only from the date when Amazing Peru receives your deposit payment at which point a contract exists. Amazing Peru reserves the right to decline any booking at their discretion. 3. Client Details In order for the Company to confirm and guarantee the Clients travel arrangements the Client must provide all client details with their initial payment or no later than 90 days prior to the start of the tour, last minute bookings excluded. If the Client does not provide all client details within 90 days before departure, a fee of USD$50.00 will be charged to the file. In the event where client details have not been received by the Company 30 days prior to the Clients trip departure, the Company reserves the right to treat the file as cancelled and full penalties will apply. Client details include passport number, copy of passport details and medical form (where applicable), full name, date of birth, international flight details and nationality. 4.

If the Client does not provide all client details then the booking will be cancelled and cancellation charges will apply. Surcharges Prices quoted remain valid for 7 days from the date of your first enquiry. If we receive the deposit payment on or before the 7th day of our quote, we guarantee not to surcharge you. Amazing Peru reserves the right to increase the tour cost to take into account the following items: government actions, currency fluctuations, transportation costs (including the cost of fuel), airport charges and an increase in scheduled air fares.

You will be notified of any such surcharge no later than 4 weeks before departure. 5. If you change your booking An administration fee of US$50 per person will be charged if a confirmed booking is changed or transferred to a different departure date or tour, up to 90 days prior to departure. Thereafter all changes will be treated as cancellations and subject to charges as below (see 8.Cancellation by you). If a client is unable to travel, in circumstances which Amazing Peru considers reasonable, then the booking might be transferred to another suitable person, however the tour arrangements must remain the same and if all suppliers (including airlines) agree to accept the name change. If a transfer is allowed then an administration charge of US$50 per person will be made if the company is notified up to 90 days before departure or US$100 per person if less than 90 days, plus any extra charges levied by our suppliers. 6. Changes (a) Changes made by the Company: The Company reserves the right to change any of the facilities, services or prices described in the brochure or website. If such a change is made, the Client will be told at the time of booking or when the change occurs. While the Company will endeavour to operate all tours as advertised, reasonable changes in the itinerary may be made where deemed necessary or advisable by the Company. If the Company makes a major change the Company will inform the Client as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before departure. The definition of a major change is deemed to be a change affecting at least one day in five of the itinerary. A major change does not apply to the carrier, transport or named accommodation. Amazing Peru will not accept responsibility for changes in flight schedule or departure airport, as this is the responsibility of the airline If the major change is due to force majeure or unforeseen circumstances no compensation is payable. When a major change is made the Client may choose between accepting the change, postponing the tour or accepting any alternative tour offered by the Company. Provided that the major change is not a result of situations outside Amazing Peru's control or consolidation; Compensation will be paid as follows: Period of notification given to you More than 42 days: Nil compensation 41 to 28 days: $30 (or £ equivalent) per person 27 to 14 days: $40 (or £ equivalent) per person 13 days to date of travel: $50 (or £ equivalent) per person. Amazing Peru will not pay compensation if forced to cancel or change your tour because of war, threat of war, riot, civil strife, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, fire or adverse weather conditions, epidemics or health risks, technical or maintenance problems with transport, closed or congested airports or ports, changes imposed by re-scheduling or cancellation of flights by airlines, the alteration of airlines or aircraft types, or similar events beyond the control of Amazing Peru. Consolidation refers to the fact that some tours, known as fixed departure tours, are dependent upon a minimum number of persons participating (this being eight). Amazing Peru is not liable for any penalty charges associated with "supersaver"-type connecting rail or airfares, in the event of a change to a tour departure time, date or airport. Amazing Peru reserves the right to cancel a tour in any circumstances but will not cancel a tour less than 8 weeks before departure, except for force majeure, factors outside the contol of Amazing Peru, consolidation or the client’s failure to pay the final payment. Unless the client fails to pay the final payment, Amazing Peru will offer an alternative tour of comparable standard and will pay compensation on the scale as shown above. No compensation will be paid if cancellation is due to force majeure, factors outside the control of Amazing Peru or consolidation. (b) Amendments: Within 90 days of departure any amendments to a file will depend on availability and will be on a request basis. Any extra costs incurred for making the change will be charged along with an amendment fee of USD$50.00 No amendments are permitted to your booking within 10 days of departure. 7. Cancellation by the Company Amazing Peru reserves the right to cancel any trip before it is guaranteed to run, but will not cancel a tour less than 90 days before departure. A trip is guaranteed to run unless minimum numbers state otherwise or for factors outside the control of Amazing Peru. This applies to departures within the brochure validity range. Amazing Peru reserves the right to cancel any trip, including a guaranteed trip, at any time prior to departure due to terrorism, natural disasters, political instability or other external events which make it unviable for the Company to operate our planned schedule. If Amazing Peru cancels a group trip on which you are holding a full-paid booking you may choose between an alternative trip or a postponement of the tour. The Company is not responsible for any incidental expenses that you may have incurred as a result of your booking such as visas, vaccinations, non-refundable flights or loss of enjoyment, etc. If the alternative trip chosen is of a lower value than that originally booked then you are entitled to a refund of the price difference. If the alternative tour is chosen is of a higher value then you will pay the difference in price. Note: scheduled airlines may impose 100% cancellation charges. 8. Cancellation by you Should the client wish to cancel, cancellation charges will be imposed. These are calculated from the day written notification is received by Amazing Peru. The charges are shown below: 90 and more days before departure: retention of deposit 89 to 60 days before departure: 60% of total price 59 days to 30 days before departure: 90% of total price Less than 29 days: 100% of price You are strongly advised to take out cancellation insurance at the time of making the booking as this will cover cancellation charges in certain circumstances. (Note: such insurance will not cover a change of mind). 9. Unused Services & Additional Costs There will be no discounts, postponements of tour or monies refunded for missed or unused services, this includes voluntary or involuntary termination, ie. Sickness, death of a family member, etc or for abandonment of the tour.

Complaints Should the client have a complaint about any of the tour arrangements, it is a condition of the contract that you tell our local representative at the time. Failure to complain at that moment in time will deny us the opportunity to investigate and rectify the problem and thus render Amazing Peru unable to accept any form of responsibility. If the client has a dispute with Amazing Peru which Amazing Peru is unable to resolve then please write to us within 28 days of your return and we will investigate further. 11. Travel and cancellation insurance Travel insurance is highly recommended for all clients who book a tour with Amazing Peru and we advise a minimum coverage of US$75,000 which must cover personal injury, medical expenses, repatriation expenses, evacuation expenses, cancellation and curtailment. It is our policy to check the validity and cover of your insurance policy and we hold the right to refuse travel to anyone whose insurance does not satisfy these criteria. If you choose not to purchase travel insurance, you will be required to sign a waiver form acknowledging your acceptance that insurance was recommended but you refused and should the need arise for change or cancellation of your tour or if you incur any expenses such as medical expenses, that the Client will be responsible for all such extra costs. 12. Medical Form For insurance purposes all clients are required to complete our Amazing Peru Medical Form which must be signed and dated by a practicing physician (if there are any pre-existing conditions) and sent to us no later than 30 days prior to the start of your tour. In the event where the Client has made a booking with the Company and subsequently is unable to complete the required medical form for any reason before the 30 days prior to the start of your tour, the Company reserves the right to treat the booking as being cancelled as per the day of notification and applicable cancellation charges will apply. 13.

Amazing Peru cannot accept complaints due to these aspects. a) Where the client does not suffer personal injury, the company accepts liability should any part of the tour arrangements, booked with Amazing Peru, not be supplied as described in the itinerary. In such cases Amazing Peru will pay reasonable compensation if the clients enjoyment of the tour arrangements has been adversely affected but will pay no compensation if there has been no fault on the part of Amazing Peru or its suppliers and the reason for the failure was the client's own fault, the actions of someone unconnected with the tour arrangements or one which neither the company nor its suppliers could have anticipated or avoided, even if all due care had been exercised. b) When the client suffers death or personal injury as a result of an activity forming part of the tour arrangements booked with Amazing Peru, Amazing Peru accepts responsibility unless there has been no fault on Amazing Peru’s part or its suppliers and the cause was the clients fault, the action of someone unconnected with the tour arrangements, or one which neither Amazing Peru nor its suppliers could have anticipated or avoided, even with the exercise of all due care. c) Amazing Peru’s acceptance of liability to pay compensation pursuant to clauses 15(a) and 15(b) is limited, in the case of air travel, rail travel, sea travel or hotel accommodation, to the amount set out in the provisions of, respectively, the Warsaw Convention as amended by the Hague Protocol 1955, the 1961 Berne Convention, the 1974 Athens Convention and the 1962 Paris Convention. d) Amazing Peru’s acceptance of liability in clauses 15(a) and 15(b) above is subject to assignment by the client to Amazing Peru of the client's rights against any agent, supplier or subcontractor of Amazing Peru, which is in any way responsible for the unsatisfactory holiday arrangements or the client's death or personal injury. 16a.
