1. Acceptance of Terms and Conditions. These Terms and Conditions shall be deemed a part of, and are expressly incorporated by reference into any and all agreements entered between PlanIt Travel Designs LLC, a Georgia Limited Liability Company (hereinafter “PlanIt Travel Designs LLC” “we” “us” “our” and any similar derivations) and you the client (hereinafter “you” or “your”). Please also read all Terms & Conditions before using our Website, www.planittraveldesigns.com. By visiting and using the Website, you are consenting that you have read these Terms & Conditions, and agree to be bound by them. By paying PlanIt Travel Designs LLC the planning fee and/or deposit, you are affirmatively representing that you have read and accept the Terms & Conditions on behalf of yourself and anyone in your traveling party. Our Services as defined herein are limited to, and provided under, the terms stated herein. Terms contained in any other document, correspondence, or other forms that are additional to, or inconsistent with, the provisions in these Terms and Conditions are rejected. No such changes or deviations will be effective unless they are explicitly accepted in writing by an authorized agent of PlanIt Travel Designs LLC.

2. Our Services: PlanIt Travel Designs LLC acts as a travel advisor only. We utilize various travel related products on behalf of numerous transport service providers and accommodation service providers, including, but not limited to airlines, coach, rail, cruise line operators and hotels (the “travel service providers”) (collectively the “Services”). PlanIt Travel Designs LLC does not own, operate, manage, or control these independent suppliers of services and is not liable for their acts or omissions. PlanIt Travel Designs LLC’s obligations to you are to make travel bookings on your behalf and to arrange relevant contracts between you and the travel service providers. We have no responsibility for these services, nor do we have the authority to make any warranty or representation regarding any travel service provider’s standards, performance, or capabilities. A request cannot be guaranteed. All bookings are subject to the terms and conditions and limitations of liability imposed by these travel service providers. You understand that you have no legal recourse against PlanIt Travel Designs LLC for the conduct of any travel service provider and your legal recourse, if any, is against the specific provider not PlanIt Travel Designs LLC.

3. Documentation: Travel documentation appropriate for entry to your itinerary destinations, such as passports, visas & inoculation certificates, remain each traveler’s sole responsibility. It is each traveler’s responsibility to make certain that they have proper immunizations before travel – please see your health provider for advice. PlanIt Travel Designs LLC may advise you of required documentation, but travelers who do not meet documentary requirements will be denied boarding without liability to PlanIt Travel Designs LLC. Valid passports are required for all international destinations. If a passport is required to travel, the expiration date must be at least six (6) months following the return date of the planned travel. 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. PlanIt Travel Designs LLC feels it is an invasion of privacy for members of our staff to make such an inquiry and these requirements remain the traveler’s responsibility. For further information, please visit the U.S. State Department web site: travel.state.gov. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have valid travel documentation, including but not limited to passports and visas, which meet the requirements of immigration and other government authorities at every destination. You are responsible for confirming with the United States Department of State or representative government agency of the country to which you are traveling to confirm the requirements for visas and/or other requirements for admission to your destination. Any fines, penalties, payments or expenditures incurred as a result of such documents not meeting the requirements of those authorities will be your sole responsibility. A government issued photo ID is required for travel within the USA.

4. Pricing and Payment: A planning fee will be quoted in advance. Price quotes are applicable to the date and time at which they are requested (for airfare as an example). Quotes in foreign currency are subject to fluctuations in exchange rates and International credit card issuer fees. PlanIt Travel Designs LLC is not responsible for any increases due to fuel surcharges, government-imposed taxes/fees or supplier-imposed increases. You will be required to make a deposit toward the cost of our Services and such deposits are non-refundable. Final payment is required prior to departure unless otherwise stated or agreed in writing. Some airfares or services must be paid in full at the time of booking. PlanIt Travel Designs LLC accepts debit card or credit cards (AMEX, Visa, MasterCard, or Discover) or a check. Should you wish to use your credit card, a processing fee will be added. If for any reason, any travel service provider is unable to provide the services for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the provider, and not against PlanIt Travel Designs LLC. If the credit card is declined, you guarantee that you will settle any amounts owing to PlanIt Travel Designs LLC via money order or cash immediately.

5. Check-in & Departure Responsibilities: It is strongly recommended that you check in a minimum of 2 hours prior to scheduled departure for domestic flights and 3 hours prior to scheduled departure for international flights. It is the traveler’s responsibility to reconfirm flight times at least 24-72 hours prior to scheduled flights. PlanIt Travel Designs LLC will not assume responsibility for any airline delays, TSA delays, or schedule changes by any travel service provider or public authority. Certain countries require departure taxes that require payment in cash. Recommended check-in times are subject to change without notification. It is the traveler’s responsibility to remain abreast of changes in condition or airport rules that might require earlier arrival times.

6. Travel Protection/Insurance: Travel protection and insurance is strongly recommended to protect your investment. Unless specifically agreed by PlanIt Travel Designs LLC in writing, travel insurance is NOT included in the cost of the Services. Information for travel insurance may be sent to you within a reasonable time frame after deposit based on trip cost and components. However, you are solely responsible for obtaining any travel protection and insurance you wish to purchase to protect the cost of your trip.

7. Cancellation: Please be aware that some travel bookings are non-refundable (airfare for example) and if applicable, cancelled bookings could also incur added charges by the travel service provider. These charges can be up to 100% of the cost of the booking, regardless of whether travel has commenced. To the extent a travel service provider does offer refunds and your cancellation meets that service providers criteria for such a refund, we will assist you in requesting such refund. While the cost charged by a travel service provider may be recovered under some circumstances, PlanIt Travel Designs LLC does not issue refunds of any its own fees for its Services.
