Group E Travel Terms & Conditions

RESERVATIONS: All reservation deposits are refundable within 48 hours. After 48 hours, deposits and payments are non-refundable due to contractual obligations with our various vendors.

REGISTRATION: A registration/processing fee is associated with all bookings; your initial deposit is your registration/processing fee. If you paid your package without any late payments, the registration/processing fee is applied to your package. If the event has been postponed/canceled, a refund is provided minus the registration/processing fee and late fees (if applicable).

Identification: Guests must make reservations in the full name listed on the government document they will use for travel.

Reservation Changes: You can make up to 2 changes to your group (for free). After the 2nd change to an existing reservation, whatever the cause, you will incur a $25-$50 charge plus any additional vendor fees. If changes are made 30 days before the trip, guests will be responsible for change fees, if applicable. This includes name changes and removal of services such as optional tours and transfers. Replacing a traveling passenger with another passenger constitutes a cancellation, subject to cancellation penalties, and is not covered by this Reservation Changes policy. There are no refunds for unused services for a package.

Cancellation: Once reservations have been made, cancellations will only be accepted in writing. Could you email your cancellation request to info@groupetravel.com with your booking ID number, full name, and travel date? If you don't get an acknowledgment within 48 hours, please call (321) 517-8876 to ensure your information was received. You may resell your package to another person; however, you CAN NOT TRANSFER MONEY to someone else within that group or any other group. I want you to know that you are responsible for reselling your package and providing this notification with the replacement name in writing. Payments must continue to be made monthly to keep the reservation secured. If cancellation occurs where one or more travelers alter the room occupancy requirements, the remaining travelers will be required to pay a revised occupancy rate. We regret that we cannot make exceptions to this policy for personal emergencies or any reason, including weather, acts of God, pandemic, terrorism, government shutdown, civil unrest, or government action (deployment).

Our merchant account allows clients to make payments using all major credit and debit cards. The monthly payment is due between the 1st and the 15th of the month. After that, all payments are due on or before the payment date. If payment is more than 10 days late, we have the right to cancel the reservation, and all monies will be forfeited.

METHOD OF PAYMENTS: Payments can be made online on our website. Paying online with your credit card is the most convenient method of payment. "Pay with a Credit or Debit Card, this payment option is made available through a secured merchant processing gateway, and your credit card is not stored on our website. After browsing our site for packages you'd like to purchase, you can place your order online. This confidential information will not be revealed due to the secured gateway method. You will be issued a receipt with an invoice number. Each guest can view their payment record online and check their balances owed. Payments made through our secure gateway are assessed a service fee and travelers are responsible for such fees. This fee is automatically calculated in your payment. Service fee charges do not decrease your trip balance.

LATE FEE: Any payment made after the due date will have an additional $25 LATE FEE. If your payment is less than the monthly minimum payment, a late fee will also apply. Late fees are non-refundable.

FINAL PAYMENTS: All final payments are due on the date specified on the event package. Any payments received after the deadline will incur a $25-$50 late fee and will need to be paid no later than 10 days after the deadline date, or you are at risk of your room being forfeited.

To grant an extension on your final payment, you cannot be behind on your monthly payments. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Late Fees will apply for payments not made by the Final Due Date of your Booked Event!

REFUNDS: All Group Entertainment Travel Network Inc payments are non-refundable and non-transferable after 48 hours. This is because Group Entertainment Travel Network Inc has contractual agreements with hotels and other vendors that will not allow us to obtain any refunds. This way, we can keep our package prices competitive and allow you to make monthly payments on your vacation. If you purchased Travel Insurance through any carrier, you would need to go through the process of your selected carrier.

• Group Entertainment Travel Network Inc will only issue a full refund with a written email that is received within 48 hours after the first deposit is made. After 48 hours, all deposits and payments are non-refundable as a result of contractual obligations with our various vendors.

• If the event has been postponed/canceled, a Travel voucher is offered for the package amount paid to date. Or the entire package is moved to the new dates provided for the following year.

PRICES: All prices listed are per person based upon shared room occupancy unless otherwise clearly specified. Prices do not include items of a personal nature such as laundry, wines, water, beverages, food (other than at all-inclusive resorts or were clearly specified), passport and visa fees, insurance, and foreign port taxes unless specifically indicated in the package inclusions. Prices are correct at the time of publication; tour package prices and availability may change accordingly. In case of human or computer error, Group Entertainment Travel Network Inc. reserves the right to re-invoice for the correct price or service. A full refund will be made to passengers who choose not to pay an increase, provided that Group Entertainment Travel Network Inc. receives a written cancellation within five days of the notification of the price increase.

TRAVEL PROTECTION: Missing a vacation is bad enough. Losing the money you paid for your vacation is even worse. Therefore, we highly recommend Travel Protection which helps provide coverage for Trip Cancellation, Interruption, Baggage Loss or Delay, Medical Expenses, and more. You are required to purchase travel insurance yourself for domestic and international tours.

TRAVEL INSURANCE: Travel Insurance is available for purchase through a 3rd party. Some restrictions may apply to travel insurance for covered reasons, so you must contact the travel insurance company and determine the right plan for your needs. If you are interested in travel insurance, please contact a travel insurance provider for a no-obligation quote.

WHY IS MY PAYMENT NON-REFUNDABLE? We, Group Entertainment Travel Network Inc., are providing you with a service due to our contractual obligations with various vendors such as hotels, promoters, excursion companies, etc. The vendors require upfront commitments that we have to adhere to. By partnering with these vendors, Group Entertainment Travel Network Inc. has the ability to create our customers a payment process that allows them to take advantage of the affordability aspect of a payment plan. In efforts to maintain a healthy partnership with our vendors to provide our customers with a dream-explore-discover experience, all sales are final and non-refundable after 48 hours after registration.

HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS: All rooms requested are standard 1 King, 1-2 Queen, 1-2 Double or 2 Twin-bed rooms. Please understand that although we will make a bed type request for you, bed types are subject to availability. Room selection in all cases is strictly at the discretion of the hotel's management on a run-of-house basis. Triple and quad occupancy rooms consist of two beds for hotel cruises. Some hotel rooms are smaller than standard room sizes. The number of persons accommodated does not dictate the room size. Although available at most 4 and 5-star hotels, the use of air-conditioning abroad differs greatly from the United States. Many European hotels were built before central air-conditioning was introduced. Air-conditioning is often shut down at night and from the end to the summer months' start. All hotel rates are based on Group Entertainment Travel Network Inc. agreements with its suppliers and are not negotiable. Hotel check-in time is generally not before 3:00 p.m. and check-out time is prior to noon. Please be sure that adequate accommodations arrangements have been considered when a late-night flight is being used. We reserve the right to make substitutions with hotels of equal standard. There will be no refunds for any difference in the cost of those accommodations.
