11. ADVERTISED PRICING IS BASED ON DOUBLE OCCUPANCY
Prices for our offered Vacations are per person, based on two people occupying a suite, stateroom or hotel room in all categories, unless otherwise noted.
12. DISCOUNTS
Promotions, coupons and/or discounts offered by cruise lines/resorts, travel agents, and other Third Party Suppliers do not apply to charter travel. Additionally, all accepted promotions, discounts and coupons offered by OUTbound, LLC apply only to the qualifying Guest and are not valid outside of specific Vacations offered by OUTbound, LLC.
13. PAYMENT SCHEDULE AND CANCELATION PENALTIES
A 10% cancelation penalty of the total trip fare becomes due at the time of booking for each Guest listed on the reservation. OUTbound, LLC only accepts credit card or debit card payments via MasterCard, Visa or American Express.
Guests with current reservations in good standing (paid to date) will be permitted to cancel their confirmed reservation at any time prior to 90-days before the departure date and transfer 100% of paid travel funds to another OUTbound Vacation without penalty. Transfer of paid travel funds must be applied to another currently advertised OUTbound Vacation departing within 2 years (24 months) of the initial departure date of the originally scheduled trip. Guests must rebook their deferred travel at the same time as their reservation cancelation. Only one rebooking is permitted per original reservation.
Payment Schedule for all OUTbound, LLC trips (% of total) days before scheduled Vacation start date*:
Quarterly Payment Plan: A 25% deposit is due at the time of booking. Subsequent payments will be scheduled quarterly in three additional equal installments of 25% each between the time of booking and the final installment, which is due 90-days prior to scheduled Vacation start date.
25% – Due At Time of Booking
25% – First Quarterly Installment (based on length of time between booking and scheduled Vacation start date)
25% – Second Quarterly Installment
25% – Final Installment Due 90-days Prior to Event Start Date
Monthly Payment Plan: A 25% deposit is due at the time of booking. Subsequent payments will be scheduled in equal monthly installments between the time of booking and the final installment, which is due 90-days prior to the scheduled Vacation start date. The number of monthly payments will depend on how far in advance you have made your reservation.
Cancelation Penalties for all OUTbound, LLC trips (% of total) days before scheduled Vacation start date*:
10% – 300 or More Days Prior to Event Start Date
20% – From 299 to 240 Days Prior to Event Start Date
40% – From 239 to 180 Days Prior to Event Start Date
60% – From 179 to 120 Days Prior to Event Start Date
80% – From 119 to 90 Days Prior to Event Start Date

* “Scheduled Vacation Start Date” refers to the advertised initial date of a scheduled Vacation. A Scheduled Vacation Start Date date being postponed due to forces outside of the control of OUTbound, LLC does not reset these Payment Schedule and Cancelation Penalty schedules. Payment Schedule and Cancelation Penalties will apply as measured from the originally scheduled Vacation start date, not the revised postponement date on which your Vacation actually departs. Therefore, regardless of the actual start date of a Vacation, for all Vacations postponed or otherwise delayed due to forces outside of the control of OUTbound, LLC, full cancelation charges will apply to any cancelations less than 90-days before the originally scheduled Vacation start date.
14. NAME CHANGES ON EXISTING RESERVATIONS
Any name changes or guests replacements on your reservation will require the assistance of an OUTbound, LLC agent. If the person being removed or replaced on your booking has paid for any part of the reservation, an authorization form signed by all involved parties is required. You will need to request an authorization change form from OUTbound, LLC. Once signed by all parties involved in the replacement or removal, return the form to OUTbound, LLC. This ensures that everyone involved with the change is fully aware of the requested change or replacement and has given OUTbound, LLC their permission in writing to make the noted change. A fee of $100 per person to change or replace a guest on your reservation will be charged. Changes are subject to any additional Third Party Supplier fees. All guest replacements must be completed at least 14-days prior to event start date.
15. NAME CORRECTIONS
It is the responsibility of each Guest to check the spelling of your full legal name to ensure the information entered during your booking matches your passport and/or proof of citizenship exactly. If a Guest name has been entered incorrectly, contact OUTbound, LLC directly and an Agent will make the necessary correction free of charge. Understand that corrections need to be requested BEFORE the manifest for your Vacation is generated (approximately 90-days prior to start date of a Vacation) and sent to the cruise charter company or resort property. Any name corrections requested AFTER the official cruise line’s/resort’s manifest has been generated, a name correction fee of $100 will be charged.
16. DECLINED PAYMENTS
If the credit card on file for your reservation is declined for a payment, OUTbound, LLC will contact you (or your agent) immediately to request your payment information be verified or to update your form of payment with another card. If five (5) business days pass without resolution, your reservation may be canceled and all payments up to that point forfeited.
17. OPTIONAL PRE/POST VACATION SERVICES
Optional pre/post Vacation event tours and/or services may require a minimum number of passengers in order to operate as scheduled. If OUTbound, LLC cancels an optional pre/post Vacation service, tour or activity, you will immediately receive a full refund. Any cancelation requests made by you for an optional pre/post service, tour or activity will be subject to current cancelation penalties of OUTbound, LLC or our Third Party Supplier for that event.
18. TRAVEL AGENTS/REPRESENTATIVES
OUTbound, LLC is not responsible for any representation or conduct of your travel agent or authorized representative, including but not limited to, any failure to remit your deposit or other funds to OUTbound, LLC, for which you shall at all times remain directly liable to OUTbound, LLC, or any failure to remit a refund from OUTbound, LLC to you. Further, receipt by your authorized agent of any Guest’s travel arrangements, terms and conditions, or any other communications, notices, or information from OUTbound, LLC shall constitute receipt of such materials by you.
19. DETAILS REQUIRED FOR BOOKING
As a condition of your Vacation booking, you must provide the information requested by OUTbound, LLC along with final payment. If you fail to supply information required by OUTbound, LLC, you will be liable for any costs, fees or losses including failure to obtain or provide that inclusion. In the event that you fail to supply information required by OUTbound, LLC, OUTbound, LLC also reserves the right to treat your Vacation booking (or any relevant component of your Vacation booking) as canceled and levy any cancelation fees deemed reasonable by OUTbound, LLC, at its sole discretion. The information required by OUTbound, LLC will vary by Vacation and will be communicated to you or to OUTbound, LLC’s authorized agent during the booking process. OUTbound, LLC will not be held responsible for any fees you incur as a result of errors, omissions, inaccuracies, late, misplaced or otherwise incomplete information you have provided.
20. AIRFARE
Vacation prices do not include international or other airfare.
21. FINAL PAYMENT & ACCEPTANCE OF BOOKING
The confirmation sent by OUTbound, LLC or your travel agent will contain details of final payment required for any Vacation reservation. Payment of the balance of the price for any Vacation products or services booked is due 60-days before the departure date of the first product or service included in the applicable Vacation reservation. If full payment is not received by the applicable due date, OUTbound, LLC may, at its sole discretion, change the rate payable for the booking, or treat the booking as canceled and retain the deposit paid on the reservation as a cancelation fee. If a Vacation reservation is made less than 60-days before the departure date of the first product included in the applicable reservation, then the full amount must be paid at the time of Vacation booking unless other arrangements have been made prior with OUTbound, LLC. If, for any Vacation product or service booked, payment terms differ from those outlined in this section, the applicable terms will be communicated to you prior to booking and will also be detailed on the applicable invoice.
OUTbound, LLC is not responsible for any charges levied by third parties or financial institutions and payable by you as a result of credit card or other payment transactions and will not refund or return any fees charged by third parties or financial institutions in connection with payments made by you to OUTbound, LLC.
22. CANCELATION BY THE PARTICIPANT
You may cancel your Vacation booking by notifying OUTbound, LLC in writing. Cancelation fees, if any, will be determined with reference to the date on which written notice of cancelation is received by OUTbound, LLC and are expressed as a percentage of the total price paid for the canceled Vacation reservation, product or service (excluding any insurance products). Refer to Cancelation Penalty section of these Terms for exact fee schedule.
23. GUARANTEED DEPARTURES AND CANCELATION OF A TOUR BY OUTBOUND, LLC
A departure date for a Vacation offered by OUTbound, LLC will become a guaranteed departure when at least one booking secured by a valid deposit has been made on that departure.
OUTbound, LLC guarantees that all scheduled Vacation departures booked and secured with a valid deposit will depart as indicated on the applicable confirmation, subject to reasonable itinerary changes as described in these Terms or good faith health and safety concerns. This guarantee is not applicable in the case of Force Majeure. Up-to-date Vacation and itinerary information is available on OUTbound, LLC’s website or by contacting OUTbound, LLC. Brochures and other printed materials displaying Vacation information and departure dates are subject to change and may not be relied upon for purposes of this guarantee.
If a Vacation is canceled by OUTbound, LLC before the date of departure for reasons other than Force Majeure and the cancelation is not caused by your fault or negligence, you will have the choice of accepting from OUTbound, LLC: (a) a substitute Vacation of equivalent or superior value; or (b) a substitute Vacation of lesser value if no Vacation of equivalent or superior value is reasonably available and to recover from OUTbound, LLC the difference in price between the price of the Vacation originally purchased and the substitute Vacation; or (c) a full refund of all monies paid for the canceled Vacation reservation.
OUTbound, LLC is not responsible for any incidental expenses or consequential losses that you incur as a result of the canceled booking including visas, vaccinations, non-refundable flights or rail, non-refundable car parking or other fees, loss of earnings, or loss of enjoyment. OUTbound, LLC reserves the right to issue a full refund in lieu of the choices above, at its sole discretion. Where a significant element of a Vacation as described cannot be provided after departure, OUTbound, LLC will make suitable alternative arrangements where possible. If it is not possible to provide a suitable alternative or if you reasonably reject any suitable alternatives, OUTbound, LLC may provide you with a refund for unused products or services as determined at its discretion.
CALIFORNIA AND ILLINOIS RESIDENTS ONLY:
Upon cancelation of a Vacation, transportation or travel service, where the Guest is not at fault and has not canceled in violation of any terms and conditions previously clearly and conspicuously disclosed and agreed to by the Guest at the time of booking, all sums paid to OUTbound, LLC for services not provided will be promptly refunded to the Guest, unless the Guest advises OUTbound, LLC in writing, after cancelation. In California, this provision does not apply where OUTbound, LLC has remitted the payment to another registered wholesale seller of travel or a carrier, without obtaining a refund, and where the wholesaler or provider defaults in providing the agreed-upon transportation or service. In this situation, OUTbound, LLC must provide the Guest with a written statement accompanied by bank records establishing the disbursement of the payment, and if disbursed to a wholesale seller of travel, proof of current registration of that wholesaler.
24. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
It is your responsibility to obtain information and to have in your possession all the required documentation and identification required for entry, departure and travel to each country or region. This includes a valid passport and all travel documents required by the relevant governmental authorities including all visas, permits and certificates (including but not limited to vaccination or medical certificates) and insurance policies. You must have a passport that is valid 6-months after the last date of travel with OUTbound, LLC as set out on your Vacation itinerary. You accept full responsibility for obtaining all such documents, visas and permits prior to the start of the Vacation, and you are solely responsible for the full amount of costs incurred as a result of missing or defective documentation. You agree that you are responsible for the full amount of any loss or expense incurred by OUTbound, LLC that is a direct result of your failure to secure or be in possession of proper travel documentation. Some countries may deny your entry due to current and/or past legal issues. It is the responsibility of the Guest to check with the consulate to ensure any legal issues past and/or present do not prevent you from entering any countries you may be visiting on your Vacation with OUTbound, LLC. OUTbound, LLC does not provide advice on travel documents and makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of any information provided on visas, vaccinations, climate, clothing, baggage, or special equipment and you agree that OUTbound, LLC is not responsible for any errors or omissions in this information.

25. FLEXIBILITY AND UNUSED SERVICES
You acknowledge that the nature of travel requires flexibility and acknowledge that you will permit reasonable alterations to Vacation products, services or itineraries by OUTbound, LLC. The route, schedules, accommodations, activities, amenities and mode of transportation of a Vacation are subject to change without notice due to unforeseeable circumstances or events outside the control of OUTbound, LLC (including but not limited to Force Majeure, illness, mechanical breakdown, flight cancellations, strikes, political events and entry or border difficulties). No reimbursements, discounts or refunds will be issued for services that are missed or unused after departure due to no fault of OUTbound, LLC, including your removal from a Vacation event because of your negligence or breach of these Terms.
26. CHANGES
Changes made by OUTbound, LLC: OUTbound, LLC may modify your Vacation itinerary where reasonably required at its sole discretion. If OUTbound, LLC makes a change affecting at least one in three full days of the Vacation itinerary or which materially affects the character of a Vacation product or service in its entirety (a “Material Change”), OUTbound, LLC will provide notice to you as soon as reasonably possible, provided that there is sufficient time to do so before departure. If a Material Change is made more than 14-days before departure, you may choose to: a) accept the Material Change and proceed with the amended Vacation product or service; b) book another Vacation product or service of equal or greater value, if available (you will be responsible for paying any difference in price); or c) book another Vacation product or service of lesser value, if available (with a refund payable to you for the difference in price).
You must notify OUTbound, LLC of your choice within 7-days of receiving notice or you will be deemed to accept the amended Vacation itinerary.
Once a Vacation event has departed, itinerary changes may be necessary as a result of unforeseen circumstances, operational concerns, or concerns for your health, safety, enjoyment or comfort. Any changes are at the discretion of OUTbound, LLC. You acknowledge that you must have reasonable financial resources to cover incidental expenses during all travel with OUTbound, LLC, whether or not such expenses arise from a change of a Vacation itinerary, and OUTbound, LLC is not liable for your failure to prepare adequately for travel and unforeseen circumstances which may arise during travel.

Changes made by you: You are responsible for ensuring that information provided to OUTbound, LLC is accurate and up-to-date. Any changes to your name on any Vacation booking are subject to OUTbound, LLC’s approval. Any changes to a booking depend on availability and are subject to OUTbound, LLC’s approval and these Terms. Any extra costs incurred for making the change will be charged to you along with an administrative fee. Cancelation of any Vacation event, product or service included in a booking will not be considered a change for purposes of this section and will be governed by the applicable cancelation terms.
