CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS

The $250 deposit is non-refundable

I AM C.U.L.T.U.R.E.D. must make substantial payments to suppliers (including providers of land travel far in advance of the scheduled date on which we embark. Therefore, if cancellation is made more than 90 days before the start of the trip, payments made will be returned minus a 20% administrative fee, with the deposit. Cancellations made less than 90 days before the start of the trip, your payment is non-refundable but may be transferred to a future trip in 12 months.

Insurance, including Trip Cancellation and medical, is mandatory. If you choose not to obtain insurance, I AM C.U.L.T.U.R.E.D. reserves the right to deny you entry to tours, with no expectation of refunds or transfer of funds.

All cancellations must be made in writing via email, and any refund requests must be made in writing within 30 days of the retreat's end date. Please send written requests to: CultureConnections@iamcultured.org

*I AM C.U.L.T.U.R.E.D. reserves the right to cancel any trip before departure for any reason whatsoever, including Force majeure, Pandemic, or logistical problems (e.g., acts of God, war, strikes, etc.), which may impede trip operations. The refund of all payments as described in the paragraph above shall release I AM C.U.L.T.U.R.E.D.) from any further liability. If a trip is canceled due to forces beyond our control (acts of God, war, labor strikes, earthquake, flooding, etc.), I AM C.U.L.T.U.R.E.D. will promptly refund the portion of the trip cost not advanced to suppliers. I AM C.U.L.T.U.R.E.D. will use its best efforts to recover advance payments as quickly as possible, and will refund you the amount recovered if any. However, I AM C.U.L.T.U.R.E.D. does not guarantee recovery of any or all of the advance payments made, and our use of best efforts to recover these payments will not include the institution of any legal proceeding in foreign lands. This policy applies to the traveler's trip cancellation.

*TRAVEL INSURANCE

Trip Cancellation Insurance or Trip Interruption insurance is mandatory for all trips. Travel insurance is designed to reimburse you for non-refundable expenses in case of trip cancellation as well as for other provisions such as missed flight connections, medical expenses/emergency assistance coverage (if something happens to you personally), baggage & personal effects coverage (if they are lost or stolen), baggage delay (if your bags do not arrive with your flight and you have to buy clothing, and personal items) which could be very costly.
