These terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) apply to all experiences featured on our Website and all bookings made with Jetsetter Lifestyle, a limited liability company registered in the United States. (“Jetsetter Lifestyle”, “we”, “us” and “our”). In these Terms and Conditions, “you” and “your” means the person who makes the booking together with all other persons named on the booking from time to time (including any persons who are added or substituted at a later date) or any of them. All correspondence and other communications will be sent to the address of the person making the booking unless you specify otherwise. If you request correspondence to be sent to a business address, a residential address will also be required for emergency and security reasons.
Please read the following Terms and Conditions carefully. These will form the basis of your contract with Jetsetter Lifestyle and you will be deemed to have agreed to and accepted these Terms and Conditions at the time that you confirm your booking with us.
BOOKING YOUR EXPERIENCE
To book an experience with Jetsetter Lifestyle, please contact us by e-mail, using the ‘book now’ option on the website or connect with us via our social media platforms we are present. Our staff will then prepare a travel proposal for you based on your requirements. The travel proposal will set out the price of the travel arrangements and when payment of the price will be invoiced and payable.
Once we have received your confirmation email to proceed and/or deposit payment, we will then go ahead and request confirmation from our partners / suppliers. Until we have confirmation back from our partners / suppliers in writing we are unable to confirm the experience. We will then advise you of confirmation once written confirmations have been received.
You are required to carefully check all details set out in the experience proposal and confirm the booking in writing. When we have received your confirmation, we will then issue a confirmation invoice for payment of the price of the booking. Please carefully check the confirmation invoice and notify us immediately if any details are incorrect or incomplete and we will reissue the relevant invoice. Your booking will be accepted by us when we have received payment of the confirmation invoice and booked your travel arrangements. Processing your payment is not a guarantee or representation that your requested arrangements will be provided or confirmed.
We will do our best to accommodate any special requests within reason but we cannot guarantee that these will be met in every case. We will not be liable if any special request is not met.
Your tickets and other travel documents will normally be issued between 10 and 14 days prior to the date of travel. In some cases, sooner should we find flight prices lower than expected.
The information set out on our Website and in our brochures or other marketing communications, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, SnapChat, etc., is checked and accurate to the best of our knowledge. However, please note this information is provided for guidance only and may change. Final details will be shown on your tickets and other travel documents. Travel arrangements and itineraries may also change due to local conditions or factors outside of our control including COVID-19.
The nature of the experiences we arrange means we are often not in a position to confirm every requested element at the time of booking. Once the key elements of your experience (flights, accommodation etc.) are booked and confirmed, we will then complete the remainder of itinerary and get you on your way to a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
TRAVEL AGENCY BOOKINGS
Where we are acting as a travel agent on behalf of another travel provider/operator, we act as agent only for such third parties and all bookings will be subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant third-party providers. We accept no liability under such terms and conditions or in respect of any act or omission of any third-party provider. Your contract for travel services will be between you and the third-party provider only.
Payment
Unless otherwise specified in your travel proposal and confirmation invoice, where the booking is confirmed more than 8 weeks before the date of travel, a deposit of 10% of the total booking price will be payable to secure your booking with the balance of the booking price payable 30 days prior to the date of travel on the dates specified in your travel proposal and final invoice. Where the booking is confirmed within 8 weeks of the date of travel, payment of the total booking price will be due and payable within 7 days of the date of issue of the confirmation invoice.
The price of your booking as shown on your confirmation invoice is guaranteed for a period of 7 days and will not be subject to any changes (other than changes made in accordance with these Terms and Conditions). We will not be liable for any changes in currency exchange rates.
Where any payment is not received by the due date for payment as specified in the confirmation invoice or any subsequent invoice, Jetsetter Lifestyle reserves the right to cancel the booking with immediate effect and retain your deposit.
We accept payments by most credit and debit cards, including Amex. Payments by MasterCard and Visa credit cards will be subject to an additional charge of 2% of the value of the payment charged. Payments by Amex will be subject to an additional charge of 3% of the value of the payment charged. Payments by debit card in cash via Zelle, CashApp, Venmo, etc., will have no additional charges. Payments by debit card in any other currency will be subject to an additional charge of 2% of the value of the payment charged.
On some occasions our travel services are sold as a complete package. We do not offer pricing breakdowns for tour inclusions. Costs represent a complete package of arrangements and no itemization of costs will be rendered.
Changes to Bookings
We will do our best to assist you if you wish to alter your travel arrangements subject to availability. If you wish to make changes to your booking, you (the person first named in the travel proposal) must submit your request in writing to writing by e-mail to hello@jetsetterlifestyle.com or by post/courier to Jetsetter Lifestyle Limited, 29 Portland Place, London W1B 1QB detailing the changes you would like. Any changes to a confirmed booking will be subject to a fixed administration fee of $100 USD. Where changes are made to your booking, you shall be liable to pay the administration fee plus any other applicable change fees immediately upon being invoiced by Jetsetter Lifestyle. Please note scheduled airlines normally regard name changes as a cancellation and rebooking and any such alteration may incur a 100% cancellation charge in respect of the air fare.
In certain circumstances, we may be required to make changes to your travel arrangements. We plan your travel arrangements in advance of your experience using independent suppliers such as airlines, hotels, local transport operators and guides, over whom we have no direct control. We reserve the right to make minor changes to your travel arrangements without notifying you. However, where we have made a material change to your booking we will notify you as soon as reasonably practical. For the avoidance of doubt, a material change includes but is not limited to, a change of flight time by more than 12 hours, a change of international airport (except between airports serving the same city), a change of destination or a change to a lower standard accommodation or lower priced accommodation. Where a material change is necessary we will provide you with three alternatives to the original item which is subject to change. You may accept one of these alternative options, change your booking to another available experience, or cancel the booking and receive a full refund of the price, less any non-refundable prepayments made to vendors, accommodations or guides. If you choose an alternative experience which exceeds the price paid for your experience you must pay the difference. Where the alternative experience is less than the price paid for your experience, the Company will refund the difference in price or retain the credit value for a future booking.
If the amendment results in the price of your experience reducing by more than 10%, this will be deemed a part cancellation and cancelation charges will apply to the cancelled portion of the experience in accordance with the Cancellations policy below. Please note that some accommodation is priced according to the number of people in the booking. If you wish to change the size of your party, the per person cost of the experience for other members may increase significantly and that some airline tickets (e.g. advance purchase and net fare tickets) cannot be changed once booked, without incurring considerable cost which is passed to you.
If you alter your travel arrangements yourself or through another travel operator, Jetsetter Lifestyle will not be liable for any additional costs you may incur including, but not limited to, costs of onward travel as a result of such alterations.
CANCELLATIONS
CANCELLATION BY YOU:
All cancellations must be notified by you (the person first named in the travel proposal) to Jetsetter Lifestyle as soon as possible in writing by e-mail to info@jetsetterlifestyle.com. Cancellations will be effective on the day notice of cancellation is received by us. In the event that you notify us that you wish to cancel your booking, you will be liable to pay the following cancellation charges depending on when your notice of cancellation is received:
More than 56 days: loss of deposit
55 - 42 days: 40% of total booking price
41 - 21 days: 60% of total booking price
20 - 8 days: 80% of total booking price
Within 7 days: 100% of total booking price
We strongly recommend that you take out adequate travel insurance to cover you against loss of your deposit and/or cancellation fees. Please note that in certain circumstances, airlines, hotels and other suppliers may have applied ticketing conditions under which higher cancellation charges to those shown above are chargeable. In such circumstances, you will be liable to pay the cancellation charge listed above together with any additional cancellation charges charged by suppliers.
CANCELLATION BY US:
We reserve the right to cancel your booking in circumstances where we are forced to do so due to reasons beyond our control or not. In such circumstances, we will use our best endeavors to find and offer another booking for you at the same price. Where we are not able to offer you an alternative booking or you do not wish to accept the alternative booking altered, we will provide you with a full refund of all monies paid by you.
For group departures, we will endeavor not to cancel any of our departures, but in some cases, this is inevitable if minimum operating numbers are not met. If the Company is obliged to cancel your trip, a full and prompt refund of all monies paid will be returned to you.
We do our best to ensure that all prices shown on our Website and travel proposals are correct and kept up to date. However, occasionally incorrect prices may be listed due to an error. Most prices listed on our website are strong estimates and are not guaranteed. Your Experience Proposal will have correct and final pricing. In such cases we will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable of the correct price. If you do not wish to accept the correct price notified to you, you will be given the choice of alternative travel arrangements at the original price or to receive a full refund of all monies paid at that date.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Many airlines require the full name of all passengers travelling. We will therefore ask you at the time of booking to provide us with the first forename (as shown in passport) as well as titles and surnames of all passengers.
You are responsible for ensuring you have valid passport(s) with at least 6 months validity from the date of return of travel and with at least 3 blank pages to allow for visas, entry and departure stamps, etc.
You are also responsible for ensuring you have valid visas, health documents, insurance, COVID vaccinations, driving licenses and any other entry or other travel requirements of the country you are travelling to. Jetsetter Lifestyle will not accept liability for any failure to obtain any such documents or meet any requirements of entry. We have no obligation to advise you of any requirements in any country.
You are responsible for your arrival at the stated departure times and locations of travel and you will be liable for any loss or damage suffered as a result of any failure to do so.
The United States Department of State may issue information about your experience destination. You are advised to check this information on the Internet under the address https://travel.state.gov/content/travel.html.
If you have received travel warnings from the USDOS and choose not to travel, reimbursement in such cases will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your experience cost from us. If any payments are due to you from us, any payment made to you by the airline will be deducted from this amount.When you make a booking with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or loss (reasonably estimated if not precisely known) must be made direct to the third-party supplier who has suffered the damage or loss or to us as soon as possible. If the actual cost of the loss or damage exceeds the amount paid where estimated, you must pay the difference once known. If the actual cost is less than the amount paid, the difference will be refunded. You will also be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us and all costs incurred by us (including our own and the other party’s full legal costs) as a result of your actions. In addition, loss or damage to your own personal property is at your sole risk. You should ensure you have appropriate travel insurance to protect you.
FLIGHT DELAYS
In the event of any delay to your flights, we will do our best to assist you in making alternative travel arrangements to get you to your destination. We use the scheduled services of the world's major international airlines. These are rarely subject to lengthy delays. In the unlikely event of a delay, arrangements for meals, overnight accommodation, etc. should be met by your airline. Conditions of carriage are available on request.
COMPLAINTS
Most problems can be rectified immediately if we know about them. If you have a problem you should report it immediately and directly to the supplier (e.g. Hotel Manager), or using the emergency contact numbers provided within your travel documents so that the problem can be resolved as quickly and efficiently as possible. If the problem cannot be resolved locally and you wish to make a complaint, please email us at: hello@jetsetterlifestyle.com within 30 days with full details of the nature of the complaint. We will respond to you within 28 days of receiving your complaint.
OUR LIABILITY
We will not be liable for any failure in the performance of our obligations to you which arises as a result of your breach of these Terms and Conditions or arises from any unusual or unforeseen event or circumstance beyond our control or the control of our suppliers including, but not limited to: war, threat of war, terrorism or threat of terrorist activity, severe weather conditions, civil strife, natural or nuclear disaster, epidemics, pandemics, breakdown of machinery or equipment, power failure, fire or flood.We book independent suppliers to provide most accommodation, travel, tour and other arrangements. All bookings are subject to the terms and conditions of these third-party suppliers, including any limitations or exclusions of liability. Our liability will be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to (a) the contractual terms of the suppliers who provide any elements of your travel arrangements; and (b) where any relevant international travel conventions apply, including but limited to, the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation.

PRIVACY
Your personal information and that of your party is important to us. We will never pass such information to any third parties, other than those that need this information in the course of providing the travel services you have booked. We are now required to collect Advance Passenger Information (API) for passengers prior to travel to many destinations. This information is required for immigration control and to aid aviation safety and security, and as such we require full passport details uploaded to our site and/or email directly to us including but not limited to, passenger names, dates of birth and nationalities to pass onto the relevant airlines. In addition, please note that we are required to pass on your mobile and email details to many airlines in case they need to contact you prior to travel. This information will not be retained by the airlines after your travel has been completed and will be used solely in the course of conducting your travel arrangements. We will not be held responsible if you fail to provide or comply with relevant API requirements.
