Terms and Conditions for Vacation Tour Packages

Reservations and Payments
A 50% per person deposit is required to secure your reservation. Final payment is due 60 days prior to departure and must be made by cashier's check or credit card. For reservations on a tour departing within 60 days, full payment by credit card is required at the time of your booking and we will require a signed credit card authorization form. Orchid Isle Bicycling will consider your reservation canceled if the balance due is not received on time, cancellation penalties will apply.

Tour prices are per person based on double occupancy and do not include Hawaii state excise tax.

Charges and Transfers
A $25 per person, per change administrative charge applies to any changes to a reservation other than a transfer to another tour date. To transfer a reservation to another tour date outside of 60 days prior to our original departure date, a $50 per person administrative charge applies. Within 60 days, our cancellation policies apply.

All changes are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed.

Late Bookings
To secure a reservation on a tour departing within 60 days, full payment by credit card is required at the time of booking and we will require a signed credit card authorization form.

Cancellations and Refunds
If you cancel your tour, you must notify us in writing or by fax. We calculate your refund on the day we receive written cancellation. Please note that all cancellation fees are "per person." All refunds will be processed within 30 days of receipt of your cancellation.

Processing fee
There is a nonrefundable fee of $100 per person for each tour canceled. This fee reflects only the cost of administering a reservation and is not intended to be punitive in any way. We realize the majority of those who cancel their reservation do so out of necessity.

For all cancellations, we will refund you the cost of your tour less the following per person charges:

Days Prior to Tour Departure	Cancellation Fee
60+	$100
59-30	50% of your tour price
less than 29	100% of your tour price

Orchid Isle Bicycling cannot make exceptions to these cancellation policies for any reason, including personal emergencies and weather. There is no refund for leaving a tour early or arriving late. Please note that we do not make any refunds for any unused portion of your tour.

Orchid Isle Bicycling reserves the right to make changes to departures, itineraries, and prices due to unforeseen circumstances. All efforts are made to select alternative accommodations of the same high quality and to keep the route changes minimal. We reserve the right to cancel any tour that does not reach the minimum level of participation. In the unlikely event that we cancel a tour, you will receive a full refund. Orchid Isle Bicycling will not reimburse you for any personal expenses due to changes in itineraries or tour cancellations, such as prepaid hotel expenses or airline tickets. Orchid Isle Bicycling reserves the right to decline a reservation or to refuse service during a tour to anyone whose health or behavior could impede the welfare or enjoyment of other guests.
