Dates and Deadlines

Because space is limited, you will want to reserve your space on this tour as soon as you can confirm your interest.   It is possible that the tour will sell out well in advance of the deadlines given below.

If you decide after August 1, 2012 that you are interested in this tour, please contact us.   We may have cancellations and we may be able to allow late-comers.

Your deposit and payment is not considered to be received until it is received by the Tour Organizer - Marigold India Tours.   If you pay your travel agent, please ensure that the deadline dates are understood.   Payment merely to your travel agent does not constitute payment to the tour coordinator.   See Booking Your Reservation for details on how to pay for your reservation.

PAYMENT

All payments are to be sent to Flite II Travel Agency.

Non-Refundable Deposit

As soon as you want to confirm your space on this tour, make your non-refundable, non-transferrable deposit of 200.00.   See Book Your Reservation for details on how to make your non-refundable, non-transferrable deposit.

The absolute deadline for our receipt of your deposit is August 1, 2012.   However, don’t wait.   The tour may sell out sooner than August 1st.   Space is limited.

DOCUMENTS

We must have names of travelers and passport information with the final payment, on or before October 1, 2012.   We cannot extend this deadline.   Without your final payment, traveler names, and required passport information by October 1st, we will release your space on the tour and immediately open it up to a waiting list.

It is possible that, after booking the tour, either WE or YOU will find a need to cancel.   The timetable below describes cancellation penalties by date. We urge you to purchase trip insurance from your travel agent, in the event that you may need to cancel for reasons beyond your control.

If WE cancel the tour due to not meeting our minimum number requirement – you will be informed by August 10, 2012.   If we did not get enough interest and cancel the tour in August, your deposit (even though considered to be non-refundable) will be returned to you.

If WE cancel the tour due to other unforeseen circumstances, return of any payments made will be handled on a facts and circumstances basis.   We recommend that you purchase trip insurance through your travel agent.

If YOU cancel before August 1, 2012, your $200.00 is non-refundable, but no other funds are due.
