Supplier Deposits & Payments ~ A Non-refundable deposit, partial payment or full payment

may be required at the time of booking to hold your reservation per supplier terms. Special deposit and payment requirements apply to itineraries, and this information will be given on request at the time of booking. Final payment is due no later than 30 days prior to departure, unless required earlier by any supplier/vendor. Full payment is due at the time of booking for reservations made within 30 days of the date of departure. Credit cards may not be third party and a copy of back/front and a photo ID is required. Making Magical Vacation Travel will not be the merchant on your credit card transaction, it will be the supplier. Only our contracted direct Professional Service Fee will be charged. ( Refer to the Professional Service Agreement) All suppliers and 3rd Party Vendors will be charged directly.

You agree to the following: Making Magical Vacations Travel services consist of facilitating the sale and paying the suppliers, and once Making Magical Vacations Travel provides said services, you agree not to dispute the credit card charge. If a supplier does not provide the service or ceases operations, your only recourse will be against the supplier. If a supplier goes bankrupt, your only recourse will be to file a claim with the supplier’s bankruptcy court. We also strongly recommend that you use a credit card for your purchase, so that you can exercise your rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act if you do not receive the services you purchased.

Cancellations & Modifications – A cancellation charge of up to $395 per booking (resort reservation fee) from supplier will apply for each change made after the initial booking request has been confirmed, and these changes MUST be in writing. Any changes will not be made without something in writing. Your itinerary may be subject to cancellation and/or change/modification fees from airlines and other suppliers, which will be passed on to you or charged directly to your credit card by the supplier. Once travel has commenced, any changes or cancellation will be at your own expense. Special cancellation and modification policies apply for itineraries including cruises, hotels during holiday or special periods, and some promotional airfares. Information will be given on request at the time of booking. Please read our terms below regarding Cancellations...

Travel Protection Plan – Making Magical Vacations Travel will HIGHLY suggest to all of our clients an option to help cover your travel investment through travel protection plans, through the suppliers if and should they offer. Making Magical Vacations Travel strongly urges its clients to purchase travel protection insurance to protect again unforeseen problems. Many of the problems for which we cannot be held responsible for can be insured against. We highly recommend that you take out insurance to provide adequate coverage for medical expenses, personal accident, loss of baggage and curtailment, or cancellation of trip. Your current health insurance and/or homeowners insurance are not valid in some foreign countries. We strongly recommend that client(s) check their credit card policies should they offer insurance as many have limited coverage.

Please note that there are exclusions to coverage of insurance. It is your responsibility to be familiar with the insurance coverage purchased and ensure that the coverage meets your travel needs. Insurance must be purchased and paid for in full within seven (7) days after the booking is made to become fully effective and cover any pre-existing conditions. Making Magical Vacations Travel also recommends purchasing a policy that has “Cancel for Any Reason” coverage for the most comprehensive coverage available. For more details and inclusions/exclusions, please see the “Description of Coverage” provided by the travel insurance company.

Supplemental Price Increases – Travel arrangements involving airline and cruise components are subject to supplemental price increases that may be imposed by the supplier and/or government after you have completed your purchase. You hereby consent to any such price increases and authorize your credit or debit card to be used for them. Suppliers have their own contracts covering cancellation penalties and other terms and conditions, and that you may be bound by those contracts regardless of whether you receive notice of their terms.

Supplier Promotions– Promotions are available for a limited time, and may have limited availability. You must check with us whether a displayed promotion on our website or other means is still available. There may be particular terms and conditions that apply. You must contact us to determine whether these particular terms and conditions apply to your reservation. You must pay the deposits within designated deadlines set by the supplier. Failure to pay for the special rates within this time may result in cancellation of the booking. Making Magical Vacations Travel accepts no responsibility for loss incurred due to cancellation in these circumstances. Promotions are subject to availability, and if a deposit is not made in a timely manner, may be unavailable at another time. Availability is not guaranteed unless a deposit has been made.

Special Requests– Should you have any special requests (medical needs, dietary, etc.); you must advise Making Magical Vacations Travel at the time of deposit and it be clearly noted on the booking. We will endeavor to pass any reasonable requests to the Service Provider; however, we regret that we cannot guarantee that your special request will be fulfilled, unless this is a medical or dietary condition. Failure to meet any special request does not signify a breach of contract on our part.

Suitability of Travel Products & Services Making Magical Vacations Travel does not represent that any/all travel products and services set out on our website will be suitable for you. You release us from any claims in relation to the travel products and services described on our website or other means, including but not limited to, claims that the travel products and services are not suitable. Suppliers are independent parties over which we have no control. The information and description given about the Suppliers and their products are vetted, and based on our inquiries, are believed to be accurate, but we cannot guarantee in respect thereof. Making Magical Vacations Travel does the best we can at the first consultation to qualify our clients by asking a series of questions about their wants and needs for their prospective vacation.

Airline Tickets & Flights– All reference to departure times on our websites, other means, and in our quotes are for your guidance and are subject by amendment by the wholesalers and/or suppliers prior to booking and/or departure. Airfare is usually required to be paid for in full at time of deposit, unless it is part of a package that does not require it. Once full payment has been made, your flights are ticketed, and the departure times are set. Times and flights may change by the supplier before you actually depart. You must check your itinerary before departure to ensure that you have the correct flight times.

It is possible that changes in flight times may occur even after tickets have been issued; in such cases you will be advised of this prior to departure, provided the personal information you provided us is correct and up to date. Make sure all names match the government issued IDs. Any changes needed will incur a change fee from the airline, the supplier, and Making Magical Vacations Travel. This could be up to $300 per name.

Documents Required – U.S. citizens must have a valid passport valid for six months from travel date. Some countries require a Visa or Tourist Card. Citizens of other countries should consult the appropriate Consulate or Embassy office in their own country. It is solely the passenger’s responsibility to ensure that all documents needed are complete and current. International tickets cannot be issued until we receive a copy of the name page of the passenger’s passport. Please check with your country of destination for rules regarding criminal history. Some do not allow tourists to enter if they have a prior criminal record. This is the responsibility of the client, not the travel expert, as Making Magical Vacations Travel does not need to know your intimate personal history.

Supplier “Terms & Conditions” – Typically each vendor or supplier will have their own “Terms & Conditions” or a similar type of document outlining their terms of service, liability, responsibilities, limitations, etc. Client is responsible for reviewing each supplier’s contract and/or agreement, and client’s acceptance of this document shall constitute the acceptance of each supplier’s contractual terms.
