Terms & Conditions

Making a deposit for a trip with Alle Pierce Travel LLC DBA The Galavant Society signifies the traveler’s agreement to these terms and conditions.

All rights, responsibilities, and obligations remain with Alle Pierce Travel LLC.

COVID Disclaimer
COVID-19 has been declared a global pandemic, and traveling may increase the risk of contracting the virus. Due to COVID-19, some destinations may be closed or may have specific entry requirements (including, but not limited to, proof of a Negative COVID-19 test within a certain number of days before arrival date, extensive screenings upon arrival, or quarantines). By signing this document, you acknowledge that you are aware of these possibilities and take responsibility for being aware of them and adhering to them.

Pricing
Price quotes for any non-air travel components are not confirmed until a deposit is paid.

Price quotes for airfare, or for packages that include airfare, are not confirmed until booked with full names and payment (for air) in full. All prices are subject to airline change without notice and are subject to availability. Most airline tickets are non-refundable, nonchangeable, and non-transferable. If a traveler is unable to travel and has not purchased travel insurance that covers the traveler’s cancellation, the traveler may have a credit with the airline to use, less their cancellation fee.

Unless otherwise noted, quotes may not include airfare, gratuities, meals, resort fees, city taxes, incidental items, airport transfers, rental car fees, travel insurance, airline luggage fees, airline seat assignment fees, visas, or other country entrance fees. Payment schedules are set forth by travel suppliers and are due on the dates specified. Failure to pay on time may result in automatic cancellation by the supplier and will result in forfeiture of prior payments.

Revision, cancellation, and refund policies vary by individual supplier. Supplier cancellation fees can be up to 100% of the total trip cost and no-shows are non-refundable. Refund restrictions and policies for unused travel and vacation components vary and are subject to the rules of individual suppliers. Insurance premiums, airfare, and some supplier fees are non-refundable. Please ask about specific supplier policies before making a deposit.

Overbooking
Flights, tours, and cruises may be overbooked. A person denied boarding may be entitled to a compensatory payment from the supplier. The rules for denied airplane boarding are available to all airline ticket counters.

Airfare and Airline Policies
Alle Pierce Travel LLC DBA The Galavant Society may reserve flights for travelers either as part of a travel package or separate from a package. Alle Pierce Travel LLC DBA The Galavant Society will send the traveler an email with the reserved flights showing the traveler’s name and, if possible, a screenshot of the TSA information on the reservation (names and birthdays). It is the sole responsibility of the traveler to review the dates, airports, names, and birthdays for accuracy. Once the traveler approves the itinerary,  Alle Pierce Travel LLC DBA The Galavant Society will apply payment and issue tickets. Once tickets are issued, the traveler has 24 hours for the ticket to be changed or voided without penalty. After 24 hours, Alle Pierce Travel LLC DBA The Galavant Society assumes no responsibility for any fees that may be associated with making changes to tickets that have been approved by the traveler.

When purchasing air, the traveler is under the jurisdiction of the airline’s policies and procedures. Most airlines charge fees for luggage and seat selections. Alle Pierce Travel LLC DBA The Galavant Society is not responsible or liable for any flight schedule changes, delays, or cancellations. Although Alle Pierce Travel LLC DBA The Galavant Society may assist in seat selection and the purchase of seat assignments, Alle Pierce Travel LLC DBA The Galavant Society is not responsible or liable if the airline makes a change in aircraft that causes pre-selected or pre-purchased seats to be reassigned. Seat assignments are subject to change by the airline without notice.

Travelers are responsible for confirming their flights with the airline within 24 hours of departure to ensure there have been no changes. Failure to use any portion of an airline ticket may result in automatic cancellation by the airline of all continued and return flights. Travelers should verify the airline’s confirmation policies, luggage fees, and other requirements before booking.

Cruising
If the traveler is cruising, we strongly recommend arriving at the port of departure at least one day before the traveler’s cruise is scheduled to depart. Failure to arrive at the port of departure at least one day in advance of sailing could result in the traveler missing the ship’s departure from port. If a traveler opts to arrive on the day a cruise is scheduled to depart, the traveler is responsible for their own arrangements if the traveler must meet the ship later, or if the traveler misses the cruise entirely. Alle Pierce Travel LLC DBA The Galavant Society is not responsible for any monetary losses that may result.

 Alle Pierce Travel LLC DBA The Galavant Society strongly encourages using a passport when cruising. Cruise lines with closed-loop cruises may permit travelers to sail using a birth certificate and photo ID. However, should a traveler be forced to leave the ship in a foreign port for a medical or another emergency, a valid passport will be required by that country for airline travel. For this reason, Alle Pierce Travel LLC DBA The Galavant Society recommends traveling under a valid passport.

Travel Documents
Alle Pierce Travel LLC DBA The Galavant Society will provide travelers with all documents and vouchers needed for travel. Travelers must check their travel documents within 24 hours of receipt and notify Alle Pierce Travel LLC DBA The Galavant Society immediately if any errors are found.  Alle Pierce Travel LLC DBA The Galavant Society assumes no responsibility for any change fees by a supplier if a passenger does not notify us of an error within 24 hours of documents being received. Tickets and vouchers must always be kept in a safe place. Lost, stolen, or misplaced tickets or vouchers may not be replaceable or refundable, or there may be fees associated with replacement.  Alle Pierce Travel LLC DBA The Galavant Society is not responsible for any monetary loss as a result. When traveling, safeguard all vouchers and documents in a safe.

Travel Protection
For traveler protection, we strongly recommend that travelers purchase trip cancellation (travel) insurance. Alle Pierce Travel LLC DBA The Galavant Society can provide options and costs for travelers.

Required Identification
A valid government-issued photo ID is required for every traveler. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires travelers to carry government-issued identification to board a flight. The name, date of birth, and gender that appear on the identification must match the same data that is listed on the traveler’s airline ticket. Failure to strictly comply with these requirements may result in denied boarding or an undue delay at an airport security checkpoint, causing travelers to miss their flight.

Identification Required for International Travel:

  • All international passengers regardless of age must present a government-issued, non-expired, U.S. passport upon flight check-in and for U.S. customs re-entry.

  • Validate that your passport expiration date is acceptable for entry into the country you’re traveling to. Some countries require the expiration date extend six months beyond the traveler’s return date.

  • Travelers with passports that are found to be washed, mutilated, or damaged may be refused entry.

  • U.S. citizens should be aware that countries can deny foreigners entry if they have been charged or convicted of a serious crime. For more information on entry requirements review the information on www.travel.state.gov or contact the consulate for the destinations you’re traveling to.

  • Children under the age of 18 traveling with only one parent or someone who is not a parent or legal guardian should travel with a notarized letter of consent. For more details, please visit the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

  • It is the traveler's responsibility to provide the correct documents, and failure to do so may result in being denied boarding for the flight. Alle Pierce Travel LLC DBA The Galavant Society is not responsible for any monetary loss as a result.

For more information regarding proper identification, please visit the State Department's consular website at http://www.travel.state.gov/ (use the “Learn about your destination” search tool to check the country’s passport validity policy).
