General:
I understand that room occupancy and pricing is on request. After a rooming list is received from the group leader/school, traveler’s final balance will be established based on his/her room occupancy type. The price will be adjusted accordingly, and an invoice will be sent to the traveler; any residual balance will be due within 7 days. Over payments will be refunded.
Trip inclusions are subject to availability at time of group’s booking. Suppliers may impose surcharges depending on the price of fuel, taxes etc. Any additional charges imposed by vendors will have to be paid prior to travel.
I understand that TLST may use photos of travelers for promotional materials and/or social media. Any one that does not want to be included in possible marketing promotional materials, please email [email protected] with a message that says “opt out to marketing”. Be sure to include the name of all travelers, the name of the group, and date of trip.
I understand that if I cause any damages to hotel properties, I am 100% responsible for the damages assessed by the hotels.

I understand that if I cause any damage to any venue while on tour, I am 100% responsible for any monetary damage.
