SUPPLIER QUOTES AND PRICING

Availability and price quotes are applicable to the date and time at which they are requested and cannot be guaranteed until payment is made in full. TRVL + Toast will ensure client receives quotes, deadlines, deposit, refund, and cancellation details within a timely manner to make financially prudent travel decisions.

Upon booking, we will provide you with instructions of payments and all due dates.  You must make all payments in full and on time.  Failure to make a payment may result in the cancellation of your travel.  In such a case this would be considered a cancellation by you and the cancellation terms and fees as described below would be in effect.

TRVL + Toast will notify client of the supplier’s refund, change and/or cancellation fees and penalties during the proposal phase. Client is aware that the airline ticket, especially holiday, group and discounted fares may be subject to the loss of some or all of the fare or require expenditure of additional money if client elects to change or cancel the reservation.

TRVL + Toast will make every effort to request that suppliers honor and uphold price as originally quoted; however, under certain circumstances additional costs by a supplier or government may be imposed due to an increase in cost for one or more of the travel components, which is the responsibility of the customer.

If travel is outside of the U.S., some components of the quotes are from foreign suppliers. Customers must note that currency fluctuates daily with exchange rates, and international payments may carry a foreign traction fee, which is the responsibility of the customer.

Flight confirmation is subject to availability and prices are subject to change after the date of quote or deposit, including price increases in the fee for a seat assignment, fee for baggage, applicable fuel surcharges and/or an increase in government-imposed fee(s) or tax(es).  TRVL + Toast does not own, control, manage or operate any airline and your agreement as to any flight will be with the Air Carrier. We do not control any special requests made with airlines.  You should read and understand the Air Carriers’ terms and conditions.

COMPLIMENTARY HOTEL BOOKINGS

Clients who request TRVL + Toast to book hotel accommodations under the "Luxe Stay" package agree to the following terms:

• If the client has already selected a hotel and requests that TRVL + Toast secure the booking, the service will be provided at no cost, provided the booking is made through a TRVL + Toast preferred supplier or platform.
• If the client requests personalized hotel recommendations, a $50.00 fee will apply for the delivery of a curated selection of options. This fee is non-refundable and due prior to proposal delivery.
• To protect the time and effort required to coordinate hotel arrangements, TRVL + Toast requires a credit card hold in the amount of $100.00. This hold will not be charged unless the client chooses not to book their accommodations through TRVL + Toast after receiving hotel options.
• If the client declines to book their hotel with TRVL + Toast following the proposal, the $100.00 hold will be processed as a cancellation fee to compensate for time, planning, and lost commission. This amount does not include any additional payment processing fees, which may be applied separately depending on the payment method used.
• By engaging TRVL + Toast for hotel booking services, the client acknowledges and agrees to these terms. Failure to comply may result in future denial of complimentary service offers or cancellation of ongoing planning services.

SUPPLIER LIABILITY & SUBSTITUTIONS

We act as an agent for third-party travel suppliers and are not liable for their acts, omissions, or failures. We reserve the right to substitute services or suppliers as needed for safety or operational reasons.

CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES

Clients must provide accurate legal names, DOBs, and documentation for all travelers. Errors not reported within 24 hours are the client's responsibility. Clients must also comply with supplier terms, destination entry rules, and travel advisories.

Client agrees to the following:

• Agrees to be attentive and responsive to adviser communications with the understanding that some information may be time sensitive, which may affect pricing.

• Agrees to make payments by the stated deadlines.

• Agrees to take responsibility for completing travel specific duties, such as, but not limited to visas, passports and/or inoculations.

• Agrees to take responsibility for reviewing and adhering to any COVID-19 or similar related policies or restrictions while traveling.

• Agrees to encourage friends/family/colleagues/fellow travelers to make reservations exclusively through TRVL + Toast for group rates and added benefits.

• Give due diligence to relevant travel warnings.

• Provide TRVL + Toast a method of contacting Customer in the case of an emergency.

• Agrees to let TRVL + Toast know of any accommodation condition or services that are unsatisfactory during this travel.

SERVICE FEES & PAYMENTS

All planning and service fees are non-refundable and apply per trip request. Late payments may result in cancellation or additional fees. Prices are not guaranteed until confirmed and may increase due to supplier changes or government-imposed fees. We do not accept responsibility for supplier price increases, exchange rate fluctuations, or availability changes. Invoices must be paid in full by the deadline to avoid cancellation.

Fees are payable by debit card, credit card, or bank transfer via emailed Invoice link. TRVL + Toast will not cover the merchant fees associated with paying the above fees. TRVL + Toast’ fees are separate from the cost of your trip and may be split between multiple travelers.

Our service fee is integral to covering the time spent researching, pricing, compiling, and organizing your booking. If your trip is not finalized and deposited within 30 days, we must treat it as a new booking, which incurs a fresh service fee. This is necessary due to the need for re-pricing and reorganizing your trip based on current availability. Additionally, should the scope of your trip change significantly, a higher service fee may apply to accommodate the additional work required before more work can continue.

CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS

Currency exchange rates fluctuate. Prices are subject to change based on currency exchange rate fluctuations. TRVL + Toast is not responsible for surcharges or foreign transaction fees imposed by the client’s credit card or bank.

CHARGEBACKS

While we and/or travel vendors do accept major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover, customers must provide to us a click or signed authorization for every transaction for your trip. Your authorization is an agreement for us to charge your card and an acknowledgement and agreement to these terms and conditions including the cancellation terms. You agree not to initiate chargebacks without contacting us to resolve the issue first. Improper chargebacks are a breach of contract and subject to legal fees, cancellation of travel, and collection costs.

In certain cases, you may dispute charges with credit card companies (“chargebacks”). Before initiating a chargeback, we ask you first to call us to discuss any questions or concerns about our charges. We will work with you in attempting to resolve your concerns. By using our service to make a reservation, you accept and agree to our cancellation policy. TRVL + Toast retains the right to dispute any chargeback that is improper and recover any costs, including attorney’s fees related to improper chargebacks. Additionally, in the event of an improper chargeback, we retain the right to cancel any travel reservation related to that improper chargeback. The following chargeback scenarios are improper, and we retain the right to investigate and rebut any such chargeback claims:

• Chargebacks resulting from non-cancellable reservations, whether or not the reservation is used.

• Chargebacks resulting from charges authorized by family, friends, associates or other third parties with direct access to your credit card. This does not include credit card fraud.

• Chargebacks arising from inconsistency or inaccuracy with regard to the supplier’s product description.

• Chargebacks resulting from force majeure or other circumstances that are beyond the control of TRVL + Toast or the travel vendor.

• Chargebacks resulting because you do not agree with the cancellation policy.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION & GOVERNING LAW

This agreement shall be governed by Texas law. Any disputes shall be resolved by mediation before arbitration or litigation. No class action claims are permitted.

CANCELLATION FEES

Cancellation by the client is subject to a $100 cancellation fee plus any supplier penalties. Projects are considered abandoned if there is no response for 10+ days, booking outside of TRVL + Toast occurs, or scope changes dramatically. In such cases, additional fees may apply.

Note: TRVL + Toast’s cancellation fees are separate from the supplier’s cancellation fees. Supplier policies regarding cancellation fees will be relayed in your trip proposal. Suppliers may choose to provide a travel voucher or credit in lieu of refund.  We are not responsible for a supplier’s failure to pay a refund or for supplier bankruptcy or insolvency. Cancellation fees must be paid via a provided link in order for TRVL + Toast to move forward with cancellation of trip components. If the trip is moved, or another trip is planned before canceling a trip resulting in the number of trips with TRVL + Toast to be the same or greater, this fee can be waived.

Once purchased, air transaction prices will not increase, except for potential charges that result from government-imposed taxes or fees. You consent to pay for such changes and authorize TRVL + Toast to charge your credit card for such additional amount, albeit rare.

Suppliers reserve the right to increase prices to cover increased costs, fuel surcharges, tariffs, and taxes, and to reflect fluctuations in foreign exchange markets.

If the reason for cancellation is covered under the terms of your travel protection plan you may be able to reclaim these charges, for this reason we strongly encourage the purchase of a travel protection plan including additional cancel for any reason coverage.

CLIENT REFUNDS

Client understands and agrees that TRVL + Toast’s Fees are nonrefundable, nontransferable and apply to each customized travel journey requested.

Client understands that travel components are refundable only based on individual supplier policy and you will be informed with those detail within your proposal.

Client understands that any refunds that may be due to them post cancellation; TRVL + Toast, as your travel advisor, will assist with client receiving refund from supplier; but shall not be held liable in any form for unpaid supplier refunds.

Client understands that supplier prices change constantly. TRVL + Toast assumes no responsibility if price lowers after travel arrangements have been confirmed, paid in full or ticketed. Client also understands there may be a fee to receive refunds in some instances, such as refunds of group contracted airfare after ticketing date.

PACKAGED PRICING 

Typically, we collaborate with suppliers to curate a comprehensive packaged vacation that brings all the elements together seamlessly for you. However, it's important to note that due to the contractual agreements with hotels, tour operators, flights, and transfers, they often do not permit the breakdown and disclosure of individual item pricing.

Consequently, as a travel agency, we may not have access to the itemized pricing for each component on the itinerary. In most instances, the vacation package we offer is presented as a whole, encompassing all the included elements rather than being itemized separately. This approach ensures a well-crafted and cohesive travel experience, but it means we may not be able to provide a detailed breakdown of individual costs.

Rest assured, our aim is to provide you with a seamless and enjoyable vacation, and we are available to address any queries or concerns you may have about the package or its inclusions. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we are committed to crafting the perfect travel experience for you.

CHANGES AND CANCELLATION BY THE SUPPLIER

We will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if a supplier needs to make a significant change to your confirmed booking or to cancel. TRVL + Toast is not responsible for any loss or damages, emotional or otherwise. TRVL + Toast, as your contracted travel advisor, will make reasonable effort to rebook redirected client to assist with comfort and safety, but we will have no further liability to you. TRVL + Toast is not responsible for any loss or damages, emotional or otherwise.

If between planning time and/or during actual travel, circumstances require changes, TRVL + Toast, and its suppliers, reserve the right to cancel or vary any itinerary and substitute components of any trip, including but not limited to hotels and accommodations of comparable quality, if air schedule or surface transportation charges, security matters, and/or other events make such alterations necessary. Suppliers may substitute transportation equipment depending on any variety of factors, including the volume of passengers on the trip. During local or national holidays or special events, peak seasons, on certain days of the week, and during religious occasions, certain facilities such as museums, churches, restaurants, sightseeing trips, hotels, and shopping may be limited or not available. Alternatives will be offered whenever possible. 

TRVL + Toast cannot be held responsible for any closures, necessary itinerary changes, or curtails for any reason. These changes will not be considered material changes and will not be consider cause for cancellation by the Customer. Normal cancellation penalties still apply to the trip that has been changed.

NO REFUND FOR UNUSED ARRANGEMENTS

As TRVL + Toast’ prices are based on contract rates, there will not be any refund for any unused portion of a travel booking. If you cancel while the trip is in progress, there is no refund for the unused portion.

FORCE MAJEURE 

TRVL + Toast assumes no liability for, any loss, damage, delay, or cancellation resulting in whole or in part from an Act of God or any other force majeure condition, including, without limitation: fire, volcanic eruption, hurricane, environmental pollution or contamination, inclement weather, earthquake, low or high water levels, flood, water or power shortages or failures, tropical storms or hurricanes, riots or civil commissions or disturbances, and any other acts of a similar nature, sabotage, arrests, strikes or labor disruptions, restraint of rulers or peoples, expropriations, acts of terrorism, war, insurrection, quarantine restrictions, government health advisories, epidemics, pandemics, or warnings or alerts of any kind of nature, government seizures, refusal or cancellation or suspension or delay of any government authority or any license, permit or authorization, damages to its facilities or the travel supplier and its facilities, or any other unforeseen circumstances or any other factors unforeseen by TRVL + Toast that impacts negatively on, or hampers, its ability to fulfill any of its contractual conditions. In the circumstances amounting to force majeure, we will not be required to refund any money to you, although if we can recover any monies from our suppliers, we will refund these to you without any charge by TRVL + Toast. We will always be entitled to retain our fees.

TRAVEL PROTECTION & INSURANCE

It is the customer’s responsibility to protect their purchases. For this reason, Travel Protection Coverage including additional cancel for any reason coverage is strongly recommended. Such plan should cover Trip Cancellation or Interruption, 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). It also helps with reimbursement for medical emergency costs (including very costly medical evacuation costs), missed connections and baggage loss. Travel Protection Plans including cancel for any reason coverage must be purchased in close conjunction with your travel purchase. Clients who decline coverage must sign a waiver. TRVL + Toast is not liable for losses, delays, injuries, or trip changes related to lack of insurance.

TRVL + Toast is not qualified to answer technical questions about the benefits, exclusions, and conditions of travel insurance plans. TRVL + Toast cannot evaluate the adequacy of the prospective insured’s existing insurance coverage. If you have any questions about your travel protection, call your insurer or insurance agent or broker.

Certain countries have a requirement for foreign visitors to have valid medical insurance on entry. TRVL + Toast cannot be held responsible for denied entry if a customer is unable to provide details to authorities of insurance or denial of entry for any reason. Declining to purchase an adequate travel protection plan 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 trip protection plan coverage would otherwise have been available.   If this protection is declined, a signed liability release waiver form will be required.

DESTINATIONS

Travel to certain destinations may involve greater risk than others. TRVL + Toast urges customers to remain informed daily as to current news, as well as to review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements, and advisories issued by the United States Government prior to booking travel to international destinations. Information on conditions in various countries and the level of risk associated with travel to particular international destinations can be found at http://www.state.gov, and http://www.cdc.gov. In addition, you should consult with government websites to ensure that you are in compliance with all requirements for admittance into that country, including COVID- 19 requirements, as well as understanding local laws that govern travel within a country, such as medical tests and tracking. Should you choose to travel to a country that has been issued a travel warning or advisory, TRVL + Toast will not be liable for damages or losses that result from travel to such destinations.

Each foreign country holds different views of past criminal offenses – if you have a current or past offense, please contact that country directly for entry and exit requirements. Travelers with DWI or DUI records should check whether current rules exclude admission to foreign destinations. As an example, Canada often denies entry to travelers with a DUI conviction. These requirements remain the traveler’s responsibility due to the private nature of criminal records. For further information, please visit the U.S. State Department web site: travel.state.gov.

CLIENT IDENTIFICATION AND SAFETY

Clients are required to send Passport or State Issued ID copies for all travelers to confirm reservations. We keep these copies in an electronically secure space to utilize for booking purposes and to mitigate unforeseen issues that may arise during international travel. TRVL + Toast strongly urges all clients to purchase travel insurance in the unlikely event of travel delays, illness, or injury.

The client must provide correct legal names and dates of birth that match identification to be used for travel (i.e., Passports/ Driver’s License) to TRVL + Toast. Name changes are not permitted on airline tickets in any circumstance. Clients are responsible for providing accurate information to TRVL + Toast via the Client Profile Form. TRVL + Toast is not responsible for costs incurred by incorrect information provided by client for travel planning including reservations and airline tickets. Please double check that we have all information correct prior to authorizing booking to commence.

Travel documents, including passports, visas, and health/vaccination certificates required are your responsibility. The name, gender and date of birth must match the information listed on the airline ticket(s) and booking records.

Beginning May 7, 2025, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license, state-issued enhanced driver’s license, or another acceptable form of ID to fly within the United States. This is the responsibility of the traveler.

Valid passports are required for all international destinations (outside of the United States) and the expiration date should be at least six (6) months following the return date of your trip. Some countries require that your passport have two to four blank visa/stamp pages.  Some airlines will not allow you to board if this requirement isn’t met.

Where visa and vaccinations records are required, please note that even when a visa is issued, a traveler may be denied entry since each country’s local immigration officials make the final entry decision. Several factors including past criminal record may contribute to the decision of the local immigration officials (s). Should a visa not be issued, TRVL + Toast is not responsible for lost payments made toward contemplated trip. However, TRVL + Toast will make effort to assist with re-routing the client.

Whether traveling domestically or internationally, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) advise that everyone carry at least two forms of acceptable identification in order to board a flight.

Visit the DHS website: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification for updates on what to expect during your security screening; what you can bring in your carryon, etc.

Visit the State Department website: www.travel.stat.gov for visa, passport support, and destination safety and health hazard notifications.

We're here to ensure your travel is seamless and stress-free. 

Upon cancellation of the transportation or travel services, where the passenger 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 passenger, all sums paid to the seller of travel for services not provided will be promptly paid to the passenger, unless the passenger advises the seller of travel in writing, after cancellation. This provision does not apply where the seller of travel 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, the seller of travel must provide the passenger 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.
