Travel Terms
By registering and signing up for any trip sponsored by DC Explorers LLC authorized to do business as Enlighten Excursions (hereinafter DCE), the participant agrees to the following terms and conditions:
DCE and or their agents act only in the manner of providing services and cannot accept responsibility in whole or part for the following:
DCE shall be responsible to the passenger for supplying services and accommodations described in this "online" brochure, except where such services cannot be supplied or the itinerary used is changed due to delays or other causes of whatever kind or nature beyond the control of DCE, their operators or agents. In such circumstances the operators will do their best to supply comparable services, accommodations, and itineraries and there shall be no refund under this condition.
In the absence of their own negligence, neither the operators nor their agents, or co-operating organizations shall be responsible for any cancellations or for any acts of any other service provider, diversions or substitution of equipment, of any act variations, postponements, omission or default whatsoever by any air carriers, land carriers, hoteliers, hotels, transportation companies, or any other persons providing services and accommodations to passengers including any results thereof, such as changes in services, accommodations, or facilities necessitated by the same. Travel Insurance is recommended.
Nor shall DCE be liable for any loss or damage to baggage or property or for injuries, illness, or death or for any damages or claims whatsoever arising from loss, negligence, or delay from the act, error, omission, default or negligence of any country, government, governmental authority, officer or employee. All baggage and personal effects are at all times and in all circumstances at the risk of the tour participant. Baggage insurance is recommended. Upon return to the United States, if DCE finds and returns lost articles to the owner, a minimum service fee of $50 will be charged. The carriers, hotels, and other suppliers who provide services on tour are independent contractors; they are not agents, employees, or servants of the operators or their associated companies. The operators are not responsible for any criminal conduct by third parties.
Where the passenger occupies a motor coach seat fitted with a safety belt, neither the Operators nor their agents or cooperating organizations or service providers concerned will be liable for any injury, illness, or death or for any loss or damages, or claims whatsoever arising from any accident or incident if the safety belt is not being worn at the time of such accident or incident.
Transportation companies, airlines, etc. are not to be held responsible for any act, omission, or event during the time passengers are not on board planes, transportation, or conveyances.

Enrollment in and payment for a tour shall constitute agreement and acceptance by the passenger of the terms and conditions set forth in this "online" brochure which cannot be varied except in writing by an officer of the company.
Late changes: Changes may not be possible after the established deadlines. Changes that are made by a traveler after the deadline date affecting destination, departure date, passport names and/or traveler names are subject to a processing fee of $75 plus any cost incurred from our suppliers. Once the tour has departed, changes affecting return date or gateway will not be permitted.
It is the responsibility of the participant to comply with the terms, conditions, or requirements of any service provider, or any country or governmental authority, or to bear any costs or losses incurred as a consequence of that participant not complying with them.
