All tickets issued and all other services offered or provided participants are subject to any and all terms and conditions under which such means of transportation or other services are offered or provided by the carrier, hotel, motel, or other provider of travel services. The Simpson College Tour Director, Simpson College, its employees, trustees, or agents, if any, shall not be or become liable or responsible in any way in connection with such means of transportation or other services or for any loss, injury, or damage to or in respect of any person or property howsoever caused or arising. The sole cause of action for any such loss, injury, or damage, shall be against the provider of travel services. The passenger tickets in use by the carriers when issued shall constitute a contract between the carrier and the purchaser of the ticket and passenger. The Simpson College Tour Director, Simpson College, its employees, trustees, or agents, if any, organizing this tour assume no liability for injury, damage, loss, accident, delay or irregularity which may be occasioned by defect in any vehicle or through the acts of default of any company or person engaged in conveying the passenger or in carrying out the arrangements of the tour.
Participant assumes the risks incident to the travel contemplated.
It is further agreed that the participant or the participant's parent or guardian assume all responsibility for any and all debts incurred by the participant. Participant understands that all student deposits and final payments for May term trips must be considered non-refundable. To the extent possible, trip directors will attempt to secure a partial refund for the student when unforeseen circumstances prevent the student's participation in the trip and the trip director is notified prior to three weeks before the trip's departure. Large advance deposits must be paid by the trip director on the student's behalf to third parties for reservations pertinent to the trip. Due to the nature of these deposits and the third parties involved, it may be the case that refunds are possible for some trips and not others or that refunds were possible in a prior year but not in the current year for the same trip.
