The balance due must be paid at least 45 days before departure (for bookings within 45 days of departure, full payment is due at time of booking).

WHAT WE GUARANTEE IN RETURN

1. PRICE GUARANTEE
Our intention is to provide you with the vacation which you have selected, at the price in effect at time of booking. If for any reason (except as a result of U.S. or foreign government taxes or fuel surcharges), we have to increase the price of your vacation, we will offer you the option of cancellation without charge, provided that you advise us within seven days of your receipt of notice of the increase.
Please note that we reserve the right to reinvoice you in case of an error made in computing your price.

2. FLIGHT INFORMATION
Your travel agent will be able to confirm the latest flight details at the time you make your reservation, and these will also appear on the booking confirmation we issue when we receive your deposit.
Your flight tickets, which we dispatch two to four weeks prior to departure (except for later bookings), will contain your flight information. All times are subject to change. Apple Vacations assumes no responsibility for any passengers making independent connections to our flights.

3. AMENDMENTS & CANCELLATION
In the unlikely event that a major change (involving a change of hotel, departure or return date, departure city or destination) becomes necessary, we will notify you as soon as possible. If you find the revised arrangements we offer unacceptable, you will have the option of cancellation without charge (less insurance premium) provided that you notify us within seven days of your receipt of notice of the change (or prior to departure date if notified less than seven days prior).
In the event of a change, we will try to substitute comparable services, but in the event of complete cancellation by us, our only liability will be to refund all monies paid as full vacation certificates good for one year from original travel date. Special features offered by hotels are subject to change at the hotel’s discretion.

4. REFUNDS
Any refunds due to you will be made as soon as possible. Please note, however, that no refunds will be made for any services provided in the itinerary that you do not use.
Insurance premiums are also non-refundable and non-transferable. Refunds (if applicable) for scheduled air programs will be issued upon the return of the unused ticket. Apple Vacations accepts bookings only through travel agents and all communications prior to your departure, including payment and refund transactions, will be via your travel agent.
If for any reason you should lose your scheduled airline ticket, you will have to purchase a new ticket at your own expense and upon your return home, you must contact your travel agent to begin procedures on completing a “Lost Ticket Application” (fees may apply). Any refunds made by the airline will be based on the value of the original ticket issued. In most cases the replacement ticket you have to purchase will be more expensive.

5. OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO YOU
Apple Vacations has made arrangements with airlines, hotels and other independent suppliers to provide you with the services you purchase. We have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that proper arrangements have been made for your vacation. However, we do not accept any liability for the actions or omissions of these independent suppliers, over whom we have no direct control. If you find you have any dispute with such persons, however, we will give you as much reasonable help as we can in resolving this.
Please understand that we cannot control such factors as weather, government actions, mechanical breakdowns, your physical, medical or mental disabilities, your failure to obtain valid travel documents or your failure to follow travel instructions.
We are not responsible for losses or damages arising from physical or emotional injury, property or other economic damage caused by such factors beyond our control. Apple Vacations is not responsible for any consequential damages or monetary losses due to flight delays or other unforeseen circumstances. Apple Vacations is not responsible for any consequential, psychological or emotional damages or monetary losses due to flight delays, airline turbulence, transportation accidents or other unforeseen circumstances. Of course, we remain responsible for any negligent actions on our part.

Apple Vacations cannot guarantee the availability of wheelchairs at any airport. Wheelchair accessible rooms may be requested, but cannot be guaranteed. Standards may vary from property to property and country to country and are not within the control of Apple Vacations.

7. SECURITY
Apple Vacations has surety trust agreements with Equity Bank, 101 Bryn Mawr Avenue, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010 for payment of any refunds as defined by the agreements.
Under these agreements, unless you file a claim with Apple Vacations (or with the bank) within 60 days after termination of your vacation, both parties will be released from all liability to you.

8. "AV-OK" TOTAL VACATION SECURITY PLAN
Protect your travel investment with the purchase of our optional “AV-OK” Total Vacation Security Plan. This comprehensive 3-part plan will safeguard your travel investment against penalties due to trip cancellation or interruption, baggage, medical expense or travel assistance. I understand that if I purchase the “AV-OK” Total Vacation Security Plan, my refund for any applicable cancellation penalties will be in Apple Vacations Travel Certificates (applies to charter and land only bookings). This policy does not cover non-refundable scheduled airline tickets or scheduled air penalty fees. Refunds for scheduled air packages will be in the original form of payment and will include any amendments or cancellation fees, less applicable scheduled airline penalties/fees and the “AV-OK” premium. In addition, if we offer a promotional discount on the exact same vacation you had previously booked, you can claim the savings (this does not apply to Square Deals, Air Only, certain classes of scheduled airline tickets and time restricted sales).
