Terms of Service

DESIGN FEE: All amounts paid hereunder shall be nonrefundable once paid.

VENDORS & SUPPLIERS:

The airlines, hotels, cruises, and other suppliers whose travel or other services are offered are independent third parties and not subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, or employees of Polished Traveler.  Polished Traveler is not liable for the acts, errors, omissions, representations, warranties, breaches, or negligence of these suppliers, or any personal injuries, death, property damage, or other damages or expenses resulting therefrom. Polished Traveler has no liability and is unable to make any refund in the event of any delay, cancellation, overbooking, strike, travel restrictions, force majeure, or other causes beyond its direct control.  The terms and conditions of the vendors and suppliers govern the purchased services or product and we urge you to carefully review all applicable cancellation and refund terms. Furthermore, conditions can change rapidly in a country at any time. It is your responsibility to check the Government travel advisories for your intended destination at travel.state.gov/content/travel.html.

PASSPORTS & VISAS:

Clients traveling to any destination outside of their country will be required to present a valid passport.  Passports must be valid for at least 6 months past the return date.  It is recommended to have at least two blank pages in your passport.  Some countries require a visa for transit or entry.  All names on travel documents must match the legal name of your passport or government-issued photo identification.  Please check the State Department website at https://travel.state.gov for further details.  If you are a citizen of another country, you may have additional requirements and should check with the nearest consulate or embassy of the destination you are traveling to for more details on entry requirements for non-U.S. citizens.

 I have read and understood the passport, visa, and validity requirements for the destination(s) that I am visiting.  I am aware that I am responsible for having the appropriate documentation regardless of wait times or service errors by the U.S. Department of State and passport agency.  I understand that failure to comply with these regulations may result in denied boarding, denied entry, and/or government-imposed fines which will be my sole responsibility.

TRAVEL INSURANCE:  

For your protection, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance and some destinations have this as a requirement. Travel insurance provides cancellation and interruption coverage as well as emergency medical expenses, emergency medical transportation, lost or damaged baggage, trip delay, and more.

 I accept the responsibility to read and familiarize myself with the details of the travel insurance policy information provided by my travel advisor, and that questions regarding coverage should be directed to the insurance company. Any insurance claims that may fall under the relevant travel insurance policy must be submitted to the insurance company directly.
