Terms & Conditions

The Gourmet Vacation

Terms and Conditions

Thank you for choosing to join The Gourmet Vacation on this incredible adventure, filled with unforgettable experiences, fantastic food and drink, and memories that will last a lifetime. Before we dive into all the fun, we need to go over a few important details—the less exciting but necessary part. Please take the time to thoroughly review this agreement before booking your trip. It outlines essential terms and conditions, including our policies on cancellations, refunds, changes to the tour, limitations of liability, and other important disclaimers.

 

AGREEMENT

The terms and conditions set forth in this agreement constitute the entire understanding and agreement between you the trip “Participant” and The Gourmet Vacation “The Gourmet Vacation” with respect to all bookings, tours, or transactions made with The Gourmet Vacation.

By making a booking, you accept all the terms in this agreement and direct us to provide services on your behalf. All persons named in this booking (“Participants”) are subject to this agreement. By making a booking, you affirm that you have made all other Participants listed in the booking aware of these terms – regardless of how the final payment is made – and that all Participants accept these terms.

 

PAYMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF BOOKINGS

Payments must be in U.S. dollars for US based Chef trips and in the currency of the participating host chef if available to do so. Payments may be made directly via our booking site, and payments may be made by PayPal, Venmo or by Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express credit cards. Payments will be listed as The Gourmet Vacation on the credit or debit card statement. A booking is not final or confirmed until you receive confirmation from us by email. Early bookings are recommended because our group size and departure dates are limited. We reserve the right to decline any booking for any reason permitted by law, including those described in other sections of this agreement.

 

TRIP DEPOSITS

Participants may elect to pay a Trip Deposit / Booking Reservation to guarantee your participation on the trip, subject to our Terms and Conditions. The deposit amount varies per tour — please check the specific information for the tour you are interested in. When making a Trip Deposit / Booking Reservation, full payment is due 90 days prior to the trip’s scheduled departure date. The Gourmet Vacation will email reminders at least 3 days before full payment is due, with a link to submit full payment and pay your balance due. If you make a Trip Deposit / Booking Reservation for a trip departing in fewer than 90 days, the balance of payment is due either 30 days from the date your Trip Deposit / Booking Reservation is received by us, or 60 days prior to your trip’s departure date, whichever is sooner. The Gourmet Vacation will establish payment plans for tours — simply contact us if you want to be removed from the payment plan.

If full payment is not received when due, The Gourmet Vacation reserves the right to cancel your Trip Deposit / Booking Reservation, and to apply a 100% cancelation fee.

All room supplements must be paid either 30 days from the date your Trip Deposit / Booking Reservation is received by us, or 60 days prior to your trip’s departure date, whichever is sooner. This includes solo travelers who request a “Single – No Share” room (if available for your specific trip departure). Advanced payment is required to guarantee single rooms.

All other booking terms and conditions apply to Trip Deposits / Booking Reservations, including our cancelation policies (see Cancelations by You and Refunds, below).

 

PRICING, INCLUSIONS & EXCLUSIONS

The trip price is in U.S. dollars, based on double occupancy, and includes the services specified in the daily itineraries, including meals, accommodations, admission fees, guided activities as stated and airport transfer to the designated beginning and ending airport, if part of your specific tour.

Prices do not include any item not specifically listed above or in the itinerary, including but not limited to, air and other transportation to and from trip start and termination points; services and meals not listed in the itinerary; all expenses during leisure time including admission fees, meals, and beverages; passports or other travel documents; travel insurance or travel protection (i.e., medical insurance, emergency evacuation and similar services); airport arrival/departure fees or country taxes; personal expenses; additional gratuities; and all items of a personal nature, including ANY medical tests deemed necessary during the trip.

A single room supplement is paid for by participants who request single accommodation, which is subject to availability and paid separately.

Trip prices are subject to change without notice. Unless otherwise specified, prices do not include any local taxes or use-fees, including foreign departure, security, port charges, customs, immigration, agricultural, passenger-facility charges, or international transportation taxes.

 

CANCELATIONS BY YOU & REFUNDS

To cancel your Booking or Trip Deposit / Booking Reservation, you must email us your complete booking details to [email protected] or call us 1-704-421-6155.

Cancelation fees will be applied per person, based on the date we receive your written notification. Unless otherwise noted for specific departures, cancelation fees are based on the following schedule:

For COVID-19 related cancellations, we are offering a FULL REFUND, minus a $250 fee to cover administration purposes and transaction fees. Medical documentation will need to be provided for all participants seeing a refund for COVID-19 reasons. Full Refunds will also apply if Travel Restrictions are in place preventing your tour to take part. All payments can also be applied as credits for future tours with no blackout dates or expiration. Non COVID-19 related cancellations shall follow the schedule below.

 

Days before departure date / Cancelation fee per participant

120+ days / Receive a full refund, minus a $500 per-person service fee

61 – 119 days / 50% of trip price*

0 – 60 days / 100% of the trip price*

*Trip price is the listed trip price including single supplements, pre- and/or post-arrival accommodations, and / or any fees and discounts applied to your confirmed booking. Departure date is the date the trip begins regardless of the date that you may depart from your location of origin. We will refund the applicable balance to you using the original payment method for your Booking or Trip Deposit / Booking Reservation.

No refunds will be provided for any unused portion of a trip once the trip begins, including if you leave the trip for any reason or must be removed from the trip. The trip price is a package cost, and refunds and credits are not available for services not used.

There are no exceptions to this cancelation and refund policy, including for reasons related to weather, terrorism, civil strife, personal, family, or medical emergencies or any other circumstances beyond our control. For this and other reasons, we encourage you to purchase trip cancellation and interruption insurance and travel protection (i.e., travel medical insurance and emergency evacuation services).

The Gourmet Vacation is not responsible for expenses incurred by Participants in preparing for a trip (e.g., nonrefundable air tickets purchased in advance, equipment, etc.) or for any additional arrangements pre- or post-departure date. The term applies whether the tour is altered, modified, or cancelled by us or by you for any reason. Because the tour may be cancelled when a minimum number of Participants have not signed up, we recommend that you either purchase refundable air tickets or wait until we have confirmed with you approximately 2 months prior to the tour that we have enough Participants.

 

CHANGES BY YOU

Due to requirements that our tours have a minimum number of travelers, we do not allow changes in departure dates after we confirm your reservation. In addition, our outside suppliers, including hotels, often impose additional fees or penalties for changes and cancelations. However, if you have any issues with your tour dates, please contact our support team at [email protected] or at 1-704-421-6155 and, only when possible (i.e., The Gourmet Vacation will not incur fees or cancelation penalties as a result of your change), we will work to assist you if appropriate, and subject to our sole discretion.

 

CANCELATIONS OR CHANGES BY US

The Gourmet Vacation reserves the right to refuse, block or cancel a Booking or Trip Deposit / Booking Reservation at any time, for any reason, at its sole discretion.

The Gourmet Vacation reserves the right to cancel, alter, or modify a trip prior to departure for any reason, including insufficient Participant reservations. The Gourmet Vacation and its suppliers reserve the right to substitute hotels, restaurants, routes, or other services listed in the itinerary with comparable services if necessary.

When a tour is canceled for foreseeable reasons, then you agree that a full refund of trip payments made to us will constitute full settlement of any claims you may have against The Gourmet Vacation or our suppliers, partners, or travel intermediaries. In the rare event that, The Gourmet Vacation is forced to cancel or reschedule a trip for any unforeseen circumstance beyond the reasonable control of The Gourmet Vacation, such as, but not limited to, acts of nature, war, labor strikes, earthquake, flooding, pandemics, quarantines, international travel restrictions, national emergencies, etc., The Gourmet Vacation will reschedule your trip departure, and your booking will automatically transfer to the rescheduled date. If you are unable to travel on the rescheduled date, you may keep 100% of your booking value as a Trip Credit, to be used on any The Gourmet Vacation trip in the future. Otherwise, if you elect to cancel your booking, the following cancelation terms apply, based on your trip’s original travel date:  

  •         120 days or more from departure date: Receive a full refund, minus a $500 per-person service fee
  •         61 to 119 days: Receive a 50% refund
  •         60 days or less: There is a 100% cancelation fee

When you cancel a booking for any reason other than COVID-19, there is a $500 per-person service fee. This is to offset unrecoverable costs to The Gourmet Vacation including credit card fees, non-recoverable deposits, non-refundable permits and booking fees, local taxes, and administration costs.

To give our guests greater flexibility during the current COVID-19 pandemic, The Gourmet Vacation is modifying our policies for transfer for the latest guidelines and note that The Gourmet Vacation reserves the right to amend our COVID-19 policy amendments, as the situation changes.

The Gourmet Vacation commits non-refundable, non-recoverable trip payments well in advance of scheduled departure dates. The Gourmet Vacation will use reasonable efforts to recover and refund booking balances to guests when possible. However, The Gourmet Vacation does not guarantee recovery of any or all the payments made in advance, and the use of reasonable efforts to recover these payments will not include the institution of legal proceedings in foreign jurisdictions. For this and other reasons, we encourage you to purchase trip cancelation and interruption insurance.

 

TRIP CREDITS

The Gourmet Vacation may offer Participants a Trip Credit that can only be redeemed through the The Gourmet Vacation platform. When you make your next Booking or Trip Deposit / Booking Reservation, The Gourmet Vacation will reduce the amount up to the current balance of your Trip Credit. If your Trip Credit balance is insufficient, The Gourmet Vacation will require payment to cover the difference. You are not required to apply Trip Credit for your next booking and may elect to apply for it at a later booking.

If you apply a Trip Credit to a Booking or Trip Deposit / Booking Reservation that: (I) you cancel, the amount of the Trip Credit you used for the canceled booking will NOT be reinstated for a future use; or (II) The Gourmet Vacation cancels, the amount of the Trip Credit for the canceled booking will be reinstated for a future use.

Trip Credits: (I) are non-refundable and non-transferable; (II) are not cash, currency and not a stored value, gift card or store credit product; (III) cannot be redeemed for cash, check or credit, except where required by law. You may not purchase or sell Trip Credits and The Gourmet Vacation does not sell Trip Credits. Trip Credits are the property of The Gourmet Vacation.

If you initiate a chargeback with your bank or credit card company (also known as a “charge dispute” or “reversal”) for the return of the funds charged for your Booking or Trip Deposit / Booking Reservation, you will not be eligible for a Trip Credit for such booking. The Gourmet Vacation reserves its right to refuse, void, cancel, reject or hold for review your Trip Credit if it believes that you initiated a chargeback and elected to receive Trip Credit despite the chargeback.

If for any reason you believe that there is a discrepancy regarding your Trip Credit, please contact us. The Gourmet Vacation may require you to submit additional information to decide regarding your Travel Credit.

By accepting a Trip Credit, you agree that the Trip Credit is in lieu of any refund you might be entitled to receive in connection with canceling the Booking or Trip Deposit / Booking Reservation. You release The Gourmet Vacation from all claims and liabilities, without limitation, relating to the Booking or Trip Deposit / Booking Reservation, and/or any refund or compensation you might be entitled to in relation to canceling the Booking or Trip Deposit / Booking Reservation.

 

CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION FOR POST-BOOKING CHARGES

You authorize The Gourmet Vacation to charge your credit card for any cancellation fees or supplemental payments that you incur post-booking.

 

RESPONSIBILITY

The Gourmet Vacation acts only as an intermediary for the various independent suppliers that provide lodging, meals, transportation, sightseeing, activities or other goods and services connected with your trip (“Supplier” or “Suppliers”). You acknowledge that you are aware and clearly understand that these Suppliers are independent contractors, are not managed by The Gourmet Vacation, and are not agents or employees of The Gourmet Vacation. A Supplier’s services are subject to the Supplier’s own terms and conditions and the local laws and regulations of the relevant country.

 

FORCE MAJEURE

The Gourmet Vacation will not be deemed in breach of this agreement or otherwise liable to you, by reason of delay in performance or nonperformance of any of its obligations under this agreement to the extent that any such delay or nonperformance is due to any Force Majeure. “Force Majeure” means any circumstances beyond the reasonable control of The Gourmet Vacation, including, without limitation, acts of God, terrorist activities, insurrection, explosion, flood, tempest, forceful wind, fire or accident, war or threat of war — declared or undeclared, sabotage, civil disturbance, labor strikes, requisition, sickness, quarantine, government intervention, weather conditions, and unforeseen circumstances.

 

TRAVEL INSURANCE

The trip price does not include travel insurance. We strongly recommend that you purchase comprehensive travel protection, covering trip interruption and cancellation, baggage, medical, accident/life, evacuation, repatriation, and other expenses which might arise as a result of loss, damage, injury, delay or inconvenience occurring to you. You also agree to assume all costs of medical care, evacuation, transportation, and related costs.

 

PRE-DEPARTURE DOCUMENTATION

It is important that you carefully read all trip-related documents that you receive from us by email as soon as you receive them, including the Traveler Information form. It is your responsibility to contact us if any information is incorrect. We cannot accept any liability if you do not notify us of any inaccuracies within thirty (30) days of your receipt of those documents.

 

PASSPORTS AND VISAS

You are responsible for ensuring that all necessary travel documents are valid and effective and in your possession for the entire tour. Passports are required for all U.S. citizens traveling abroad and should be valid for at least 6 months after your date of return. We suggest you apply for or renew a passport early. Other required documents may include visas, permits, and vaccination certificates. You assume complete and full responsibility for checking and verifying all passport, visa, vaccination, or other entry requirements. You are also solely responsible for any adverse consequences resulting from incomplete or defective documentation. While we may provide information or advice on matters such as visas, vaccinations, climate, clothing, baggage, and special equipment in good faith as a courtesy to you, we are not responsible for any errors or omissions as to the information provided.

 

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS AND MEDICAL CARE

Our trips have varying levels of demands and fitness requirements depending on the specific itinerary. By making a booking, you represent that you do not have any physical, or other, conditions that would create a hazard for you or other Participants or affect other people’s enjoyment of the trip. If you have a physical condition, dietary restrictions, or other conditions that will require special attention during the tour, you must inform us in the Additional Information section when making a booking. We reserve the right in our sole discretion to accept, decline, or remove anyone from a trip (at departure or during the trip) who we judge to be incapable of meeting the trip’s physical demands.

 

COMPLAINT PROCEDURE

If you have a complaint during your trip, you must promptly notify The Gourmet Vacation or your trip leader/host of the problem so that they can attempt to remedy the situation and allow you to enjoy the remainder of your trip. While we strive to provide you with a comfortable and enjoyable trip, your notice to The Gourmet Vacation or its suppliers of a complaint does not mean that we will accept liability or responsibility, and we will evaluate each complaint as it arises. At the same time, failure to raise a concern or complaint while you are on the trip will extinguish or reduce any ability to claim recourse from The Gourmet Vacation or its suppliers. Further, if you attempt to address the problem on your own without using this notice procedure, you assume responsibility for any added costs you may incur and forfeit any potential remedy.

If you are not satisfied after using this notice procedure, you must submit your complaint in writing to The Gourmet Vacation within fourteen (14) days of the trip’s end date. However, The Gourmet Vacation and its suppliers will not accept any liability for claims received after the fourteen-day period.

 

TRIP START DATE

It is your responsibility to be ready to embark on the trip as specified in the itinerary. The Gourmet Vacation is not responsible for any losses due to cancelled or missed flights, changed flight itineraries, late arrivals, or early departures.

 

TRIP SAFETY AND TRIP ETIQUETTE

You must comply with all local laws, respect local customs and culture, accurately assess your abilities, respect other trip members’ privacy, and follow the suggestions and advice of any assigned guide. The decision of The Gourmet Vacation, the local guide or local supplier is final on all matters that may threaten the safety or interfere with the well-being of others. During the trip, The Gourmet Vacation or the local guide or supplier has the right in its sole discretion to remove anyone a) who it judges to be incapable of meeting the demands and requirements of participating in the tour activities; or b) who it determines to detract from others’ enjoyment of the tour.

The laws of the State of North Carolina, USA, govern this agreement.

 

MERGER

This Agreement is the final, complete, and exclusive statement of the parties’ agreement on the matters contained in this agreement. It supersedes all previous negotiations and agreements.

 

LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK & INDEMNIFICATION

All travelers are required to accept The Gourmet Vacation’s Liability Waiver, which is a legally binding agreement. Please read this carefully and be prepared to accept and acknowledge the waiver at the appropriate time, prior to your trip departure. 

 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND ASSUMPTION OF RISKS

I am voluntarily participating on the Tour, which will involve a variety of activities depending on my itinerary and the activities in which I elect to participate, including but not limited to: sightseeing, classes, demonstrations, tastings, guided tours, walking, hiking, swimming in various bodies of water such as seas, oceans, rivers and lakes, nature walks, encounters with wild fauna and flora, and/or other outdoor activities or sports (collectively, “Activities”). I understand that this list is not exhaustive of all Activities that may be made available to me and that I may decide to participate in.

I also acknowledge that I am voluntarily participating on the Tour with knowledge that travel involves numerous risks and dangers including, but not limited to, the following: dangers and risks inherent in Activities; negligence by The Gourmet Vacation and/or its suppliers and local operators in the conduct or arrangement of the Tour in any respect from inception to completion; emotional trauma; disfigurement, temporary or permanent disability, including paralysis; death; muscle strains, pulls, tears, broken bones, and shin splints; forces of nature; civil unrest and war; terrorism; roads, trails, hotels, vehicles, boats or other means of conveyance which are not operated or maintained at standards common in my country; crossing roadways and entering/exiting vehicles; the hazards of traveling in remote, unsafe or politically unstable areas or under unsafe conditions; high altitude; accident or illness without access to means of rapid evacuation or availability of medical supplies; the adequacy of medical attention once provided; physical exertion for which I am not prepared; transportation failures; equipment failures, malfunctions or deficiencies; contact with wild animals whether on foot or in vehicles; social or labor unrest; consumption of alcoholic beverages; stolen, lost or misplaced luggage or property; theft or break-ins into vehicles, lodging or elsewhere; mechanical or construction failures or difficulties; diseases; epidemics; bites or stings from insects or pests; local laws; climatic conditions; abnormal conditions or developments; negligence by third-party service providers; financial default of any third party suppliers; and any actions, omissions or conditions outside of The Gourmet Vacation’s control not mentioned herein.

I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the Tour provided by The Gourmet Vacation. Furthermore, guides/instructors/facilitators have difficult jobs to perform involving judgment of the weather, the elements, the terrain, and other aspects of the Tour. They must also make judgments when providing warnings or instructions. They seek safety, but they are not infallible and may misjudge the weather or other environmental conditions.

I acknowledge that these are some, but not all, of the inherent and acquired risks associated with the activities performed on a The Gourmet Vacation tour. A complete listing of inherent and acquired risks is not possible.

I expressly agree to be responsible for my own welfare and fully assume all the above risks, as well as all other risks set forth in this agreement, both known and unknown, voluntarily, and knowingly, to the fullest extent permitted by law. If signed on behalf of a Minor, I have discussed the travel risks with the Minor, and they wish to participate in the Tour, nevertheless.

 

MEDICAL CERTIFICATION

I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating in the Tour, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further certify that I have no medical or physical condition, which could interfere with my safety in the Tour, or else I am willing to assume the risk of and bear the costs that may result, directly or indirectly, from any such condition.

 

WAIVER OF LIABILITY, RELEASE, INDEMNIFICATION, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I, an adult traveler, or as parent or legal guardian of the Minor, for myself, the Minor, my heirs, legal and personal representatives, next of kin, including my spouse, successors and assigns (individually and collectively, “Releasors”), expressly RELEASE, WAIVE, FOREVER DISCHARGE, HOLD HARMLESS AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE The Gourmet Vacation, its owners, shareholders, officers, employees, directors, representatives, volunteers, guides, local operators and suppliers, successors and assigns (individually and together, “Released Parties”) from and against any and all liability, claims, causes of action, demands, costs, damages, losses or suits of any and every kind which I or the Minor now have or may later have against the Released Parties arising out of, relating to, or in connection with the Tour arranged through or provided by The Gourmet Vacation whether arising from the Released Parties’ negligence or otherwise.

In addition, I agree to fully indemnify (that is protect and defend, and satisfy claims against) and hold harmless each Released Party from any and all claims, actions, suits and demands (including all reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by the Released Party) initiated by a third party and arising from, attributable to or related to my or the Minor’s negligent or intentional actions or inactions, whether arising from the Released Parties’ negligence or otherwise, occurring during the trip.

I AGREE THAT THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SERVE AS A COMPLETE RELEASE AND EXPRESS ASSUMPTION OF RISK for myself, all members of my family and all minors traveling with me or on whose behalf I am signing this agreement, including the Minor (collectively encompassed by the term “their” in this paragraph), my and their heirs, as well as my and their next of kin, successors, assigns, and legal and personal representatives. It is my intention to fully assume all risks associated with the Tour and to release the Released Parties from all liability to the maximum extent permitted by law.
