TERMS & CONDITIONS

LAST UPDATED JULY 23rd, 2025

Liz Haak Travel, LLC (“LHT,” “we,” “us,” “our”) is a limited liability company formed and established in the State of Kansas.  We operate as a travel agency specialize in crafting personalized itineraries that cater to our client’s (“you,” “traveler,” or “participant”) interests. 

1. CONTRACT. We draw your attention to the Terms and Conditions of travel outlined below. These Terms and Conditions—including all brochures, service agreements, documents, correspondence, and the terms and conditions of our suppliers (collectively, the “Terms and Conditions”)—form the basis of a legally binding contract between you and LHT. Before making a booking with us, you must read, understand, and accept these Terms and Conditions. If you have any questions, we encourage you to raise them with us prior to booking. Please be aware that these Terms and Conditions include important provisions such as waivers of liability, a jury and class action waivers, and clauses regarding venue selection and notice requirements. By asking us to confirm your booking, or by otherwise using our services in connection with your travel, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by all of the Terms and Conditions stated herein. If you do not agree to any part of these Terms and Conditions, you must not make a booking with us or utilize our travel-related services.

If you are making a booking on behalf of a couple, family, or group, you are responsible for sharing these Terms and Conditions with all members of your party and for ensuring their compliance. You are also financially responsible for the booking. We are not liable for your failure to inform other travelers of these Terms and Conditions. By proceeding with a booking, you represent and warrant that:

(a) you are of legal age to use our services and website,
(b) you have the authority to create binding legal obligations,
(c) you are legally authorized to act on behalf of all travelers for whom you are booking and to accept these Terms and Conditions on their behalf, and
(d) all information provided by you or on behalf of your group is true, complete, and accurate.

2. VIOLATIONS BY YOU. You agree that any violation of any such Terms and Conditions may result in (a) the cancellation of your reservation or purchase, (b) your forfeiture of any monies paid for your reservation or purchase, and (c) you being denied access to the applicable Travel Product.

3. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. LHT reserves the right, in our sole discretion, to change these Terms and Conditions at any time. Updated versions of the Terms and Conditions will be posted on our website at www.lizhaaktravel.com (“Website”) and are effective immediately on posting. If we make material changes that impact on your booking, we will notify you. Please check frequently, especially before you make a booking, to see if these Terms and Conditions have changed. Your continued use of our services, including continuing to use or maintain any bookings after any changes to the Terms and Conditions, constitutes your consent to the changes.

4. BOOKING/PAYMENT.  When you are ready to start your next travel adventure simply contact us either by email at lizhaaktravel@gmail.com, by phone or by filling out our Travel Request Form provided on our website. Once we receive your inquiry, we will follow up by email to schedule a call to discuss your travel preferences and needs. Once we determine we are a good fit, we will either issue an invoice for the Planning Fee (as described below) or begin researching and creating your proposal. Where a planning fee is charged, we will begin researching and crafting your personalized travel proposal once the planning fee payment has posted. Planning fees are always NON-REFUNDABLE even if you do not book with us or cancel your travel plans. 

Once we have prepared your proposal, we will send it to the email address you provide to us for your review. After you have reviewed your proposal, we will be available to answer any questions or make changes. We provide you with three (3) complimentary proposal revisions, and upon your request for a fourth revision we may require a new planning fee in the amount of $300+ to present more options.  When you are ready to proceed, we will hold your requested accommodations and ask you to review before confirming your booking. If traveling internationally, we may require additional information for all members of your travel party.

To confirm your booking(s) with us, you must complete the appropriate credit card authorization forms authorizing Liz Haak Travel to use your payment information for deposits or final payments directly to travel suppliers (“Suppliers”) and confirm that you have read and agree to these Terms and Conditions. Once your deposit (or full payment, if applicable) is processed, we will send you a booking confirmation and payment receipt. This confirmation will include the Supplier’s terms and conditions. Please review Supplier policies carefully, as changes or cancellations may result in fees.

Once confirmed, we will provide instructions for future payments and send reminders ahead of your final payment due date(s). You must complete any requested payment authorizations on time to avoid cancellation. If you are making a booking within 60 days of departure, full payment may be due at the time of booking. If full payment is not received by the due date, we reserve the right to cancel your booking and apply any applicable cancellation fees. This will be considered a cancellation by you, and Supplier cancellation terms will apply. Please note that discounted fares often carry restrictions and changes may result in additional costs.

All deposits are typically non-refundable, unless otherwise stated in the Supplier’s terms and conditions. Travel insurance may be included in some packages, but if not, we will provide quotes separately. We strongly encourage purchasing travel protection insurance, and we will send insurance options shortly after booking.

You will have access to your itinerary throughout the planning process via our itinerary app, which updates in real time. If requested, we would be happy to review your itinerary with you and discuss any last-minute questions you may have approximately one (1) week prior to departure.

Approximately two weeks prior to departure you will receive your final documents with a summary of all travel confirmations and destination details. Additional information and on-site contacts from Suppliers 2 | P a g emay be provided closer to your travel date and will be added to your itinerary app accordingly. While you are traveling, we will remain available for support, and you will have access to both the on-site contact and our direct contact information.

5. PLANNING FEES. While our work on your travel experience officially begins once you agree to book with us, the planning process starts well in advance. We draw from decades of travel experience having visited over 39 countries, participating in ongoing education, and buildings strong supplier relationships to offer the best travel options custom to your trip needs. Each custom proposal involves significant time spent researching, planning, and coordinating with suppliers to ensure every detail is thoughtfully arranged.

To compensate fairly for our expertise and effort, we may charge a planning fee of $300+ per booking, which varies based on factors such as family or group size, length of stay, destination(s), complexity, and level of planning required. For Disney destination services, we do offer concierge planning which includes dining, park tips and tricks, and transfers for a planning fee of $150 per booking. Full payment of this fee is required before we commence researching and preparing your proposal. All planning fees are always non-refundable, regardless of whether you choose to book with us or cancel for any reason. 

6. TRAVEL PROTECTION INSURANCE. It is the traveler’s responsibility to protect their purchases, but travel protection insurance is not included in the cost of your trip unless expressly listed as an inclusion. For this reason, travel protection insurance including additional “cancel for any reason” coverage (or something similar) is strongly recommended. Such plans should cover Trip Cancellation or Interruption, Medical Expense, Emergency Evacuation/Repatriation, and Baggage insurance. Travel protection insurance plans can help protect you in the event of loss of non-refundable deposits and payments that result from cancellation or trip interruption (due to a covered reason such as injury or illness before or during the trip). It also helps with reimbursement for medical emergency costs (including very costly medical evacuation costs), missed connections and baggage loss. Travel protection insurance plans including “cancel for any reason” coverage should be purchased in close conjunction with your travel purchase as certain policies have limitations on the type of coverage offered after 10 -14 days of your booking deposit. 

LHT is not qualified to answer technical questions about the benefits, exclusions, and conditions of travel insurance plans or coverage. LHT cannot evaluate the adequacy of the prospective insured's existing insurance coverage and cannot guarantee that any insurance provider will approve coverage for a claim made under the insurer’s policy and makes no representations about the extent of coverage for any policy it may offer or quote. If you have any questions about your travel protection, call your insurer or insurance agent or broker. 

If you decline travel protection insurance, we kindly ask that you complete our travel insurance waiver within fourteen (14) days of your initial travel booking deposit. If you decline travel protection insurance, you understand that travel protection insurance is NOT included in your booking, and you fully understand our cancellation policies, the Supplier cancellation policies, and all possible losses that can occur without adequate protection.

Certain countries have a requirement for foreign visitors to have valid medical insurance on entry. LHT cannot be held responsible for denied entry if a traveler is unable to provide such details to authorities of insurance or denial of entry for any reason. Declining to purchase an adequate travel protection plan could result in the loss of your travel cost and/or require more money to correct the situation. You also acknowledge that without this coverage, there may be no way to recoup any losses, costs or expenses incurred. If you choose to travel without adequate coverage, we will not be liable for any of your losses howsoever arising.

7. TRAVELER INFORMATION. Names provided to secure reservations must match travelers’ respective passports and government issued identification. Middle names are not required to appear on airline tickets. Date of birth and complete passport details are required. Any minor name corrections advised after airline tickets have been issued will incur fees. Not all name corrections will be permitted by airlines and may require the purchase of a new ticket. Travelers voluntarily assume full and sole responsibility for any and all risks and/or costs involved with failure to report any errors and/or omissions to documentation. Please review all documents, including the cancellation policies and terms and conditions of the Suppliers, carefully and promptly as we will not be responsible for any errors. It is your responsibility to review all travel documentation and alert us within twentyfour (24) hours of any corrections.

8. HEALTH/PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS/PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES. It is essential that you advise us before booking if you do have any disability or pre-existing medical condition which may affect your travel plans, or if you have any special requirements as a result of any disability or medical condition (including any which affect the booking process) so that we can assist you in considering the suitability of the arrangements and/or in making the booking. LHT will communicate requests to Suppliers but cannot be responsible if ADA accommodations are not available. Any accommodations provided will be at the sole expense of the traveler requiring the accommodation. Please note that accommodations outside of the USA may not be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and may not have wheelchair accessibility.

Our Suppliers are unable to offer additional assistance to travelers with limited mobility and all such assistance will need to be provided by whoever the traveler is traveling with. Travelers with disabilities must notify LHT at the time of booking of status and of the identity of their non-discounted, paid travel companion who will be responsible for providing all necessary assistance. We may request that you provide a letter from your doctor confirming your fitness to travel.

If you are pregnant or expecting at or around the time of your planned travels, please inform us prior to booking. Some suppliers will not permit travel past certain gestational periods for your safety and the safety of your child/ren. If you become pregnant after booking with us, please consult with a doctor and review the supplier terms and conditions as they relate to your booking to determine whether you will be permitted or prevented from traveling. If you are denied boarding, embarkation, or access to a supplier, travel product, or service due to pregnancy, LHT shall not be liable for any losses, expenses, or refunds resulting from such loss in access for you or anyone you travel with.

9. YOUR BEHAVIOR. Each traveler in any trip planned by LHT is expected to act responsibly and adhere to all behavior guidelines established by the Suppliers. All Suppliers reserve the right to remove 4 | P a g eyou from any facility, hotel or resort property, tour location or means of transportation if your health or your conduct appears to endanger yourself or others, disrupts the general well-being of other individuals on any element of your trip, or interferes with the operation or security of the places you visit. In any such case, there will be no refund. When you book with LHT, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or anyone traveling with you. Full payment for any such damage or loss (reasonably estimated if not precisely known) must be paid directly at the time to the accommodation owner or manager or other Supplier. You must indemnify us for the full amount of any claim (also including legal costs) made against us. We are not responsible for any costs incurred concerning a guest removed from a trip, or any portion of a trip. You agree not to hold LHT or any of its related entities liable for any actions taken under these Terms and Conditions. Baggage and personal effects are at all times the sole responsibility of the traveler.

10. DESTINATIONS AND DOCUMENTATION. Traveling to certain destinations may involve greater risk than others. LHT urges travelers to remain informed daily as to current news, as well as to review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements, and advisories issued by the United States Government prior to booking travel to international destinations. Information on conditions in various countries and the of risk associated with https://travel.state.gov/content/travel.html and travel to destinations can be found at http://www.cdc.gov. In addition, you should consult with government websites to ensure that you are following all requirements for admittance into that country, including without limitation any COVID-19 requirements, as well as understanding local laws that govern travel within a country, such as medical tests and tracking. A U.S. State Department list of travel advisories is available at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories.html/ . By choosing to travel to a country or region for which a government-issued travel advisory is in effect, you acknowledge that you are doing so with full awareness of the associated risks. The decision to proceed with such travel is made voluntarily and at your own discretion. No statement, recommendation, proposal, or service provided by LHT shall be construed as an assurance of safety or a waiver of the risks involved. You expressly assume all responsibility, risk, and consequences related to your choice to travel to a advisory-listed destination. 

It is the responsibility of each traveler to obtain and carry a valid passport, visa(s), inoculations, and all other documents required by applicable government regulations. For up-to-date requirements US citizens should visit www.travel.state.gov. When travelling domestically within the USA or internationally, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) advise that everyone carry at least two forms of acceptable identification in order to board a flight, found here: http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/acceptable-ids.  Air travelers with identification (ID) that does not meet the REAL ID ACT requirements will have to use alternate ID forms (passport, military ID, or permanent resident card) to pass through TSA security checkpoints—even for domestic travel. Visas are required when they apply. You can find out if your international destination requires a visa at https://www.usa.gov/visas-citizens-traveling-abroad. Travelers voluntarily assume full and sole responsibility for any and all risks and/or costs involved with failure to report any errors and/or omissions to documentation. LHT strongly recommends that you consider that certain countries will not admit a passenger if their passport expires within six (6) months of the date of entry. Many countries require a minimum number of blank pages in your passport book. Non-USA citizens may require additional documentation. Children and infants also require all such travel documents. Minors traveling with one parent, and/or without both parents, may be stopped and not admitted, unless authenticated www.travel.state.gov or and verified consent forms are provided to the authorities. Please visit https://www.dhs.gov/real-id for the most updated requirements for travel documentation.

Certain countries restrict travelers with criminal convictions, even if expunged. Please inform us prior to booking with us if this applies to you and seek separate legal counsel to confirm your ability to travel to your desired destination. If you are denied access to a country or a Supplier due to a conviction, LHT shall not be liable for any losses, expenses, or refunds to you or anyone in your group. In addition, recommended inoculations and vaccinations for travel may change and you should consult your practitioner about current recommendations before you depart. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet all health entry requirements, obtain the recommended inoculations and vaccinations, take all recommended medication, and follow all medical advice in relation to your trip. Inoculation requirements can be found on the Center for Disease Control website at https://www.cdc.gov/. 

You acknowledge any failure to strictly comply with these requirements may result in denied boarding or an undue delay at an airport security checkpoint causing traveler to miss flight(s), and subsequent scheduled travel bookings trips.  LHT bears no responsibility for advising and/or obtaining required travel documentation for you, or for any delays, damages, and/or losses including missed portions of your vacation related to improper documentation or government decisions about entry.

11. AIRFARE.
DISCLAIMER. Your contract for airfare (e.g., for domestic, international and/or charter flights) is with the air carrier, charterer, or other operator or owner of the aircraft, subject to its terms and conditions, and we will not be liable for any fees or expenses, including without limitation, change fees, baggage fees, cancellation fees or any other additional costs you incur with the air Supplier. For charter trips/flights, please be aware the charter operator can legally change (with limited notice) departure times up to forty-eight (48) hours, and flights advertised as non-stop may be changed to make intermediate stops. Suppliers can substitute types of aircraft and even airlines, and have limited, if any, responsibility for baggage delays or losses, and have very stiff cancellation penalties. In addition, frequent flyer miles may or may not be accrued and advance seat assignments may not be available. We have no liability, responsibility, or obligation in connection with any costs incurred with the foregoing, or any airfare component of your trip generally.

AIR TICKETING FEE. The purchase of air tickets for your trip, outside of any package, will incur additional fees by LHT due prior to the air ticket being issued. The LHT air ticketing fee is:

Domestic Flights: $50/ticket
International Flights: $75/ticket 

INSECTICIDE NOTICE. Travelers are encouraged to check the list of countries that require airlines to treat the passenger cabin with insecticides prior to the flight or while on the aircraft on the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Web site, as this list is updated from time to time: https://www.transportation.gov/airconsumer/spray

BAGGAGE FEES. Due to continual changes in airline baggage policies, it is suggested that you inquire with your airline's website for up-to-date fees & information. We are NOT responsible for additional fees incurred for baggage or seating. 

RE-CONFIRM YOUR FLIGHT. We advise you personally to re-confirm your flight schedule within 24 hours prior to departure directly with the airline in case of any last-minute changes or delays. Most airlines allow you to check in online 24 hours prior to departure.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Federal law forbids the carriage of hazardous materials aboard aircraft in your luggage or on your person. A violation can result in five years’ imprisonment and penalties of $250,000 or more (49 U.S.C. 5124). Hazardous materials include explosives, compressed gases, flammable liquids and solids, oxidizers, poisons, corrosives, and radioactive materials. Examples include Paints, lighter fluid, fireworks, tear gases, oxygen bottles, and radioactive materials. There are special exceptions for small quantities (up to 70 ounces total) of medicinal and toilet articles carried in your luggage and certain smoking materials carried on your person. For further information contact your airline representative. Restrictions on hazardous materials and other prohibited items are listed at: http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/prohibited-items.

12. CHANGES & CANCELLATIONS BY TRAVELER.
Changes by Traveler. Since changes may be considered cancelled services, additional cancellation penalties may apply. Changes are subject to additional Supplier charges, are based on availability, and may incur additional fees. Changes to airfare or other ticket contracts are subject to the air carrier or other applicable Supplier’s terms and conditions. For certain changes, we may charge a fee up to the amount of the initial planning fee. If no planning fee was charged, we may charge $50 per change for changes, in addition to any charges incurred by the Supplier(s). 

Cancellations by Traveler. Cancellation of travel must be made in writing and is effective from the date we receive the written notification. Any planning fees paid to us prior to cancellation are always nonrefundable. For certain travel bookings we may (in our sole discretion) charge cancellation fee in a minimum amount of a $150 per booking. All suppliers have their own cancellation policies, which apply to your booking. Upon receipt of your cancellation request we will contact the Suppliers for any applicable refunds subject to the Supplier’s terms and conditions. If you are entitled to a refund, please note that the Supplier is responsible for this refund, not LHT. If you owe a cancellation fee to LHT, you authorize us to collect that fee by deducting the amount from any refund issued to you by the Supplier, if permitted by the Supplier. Suppliers may choose to provide a travel voucher or credit in lieu of refund. We are not responsible under any circumstances for a Supplier’s failure to pay a refund, or for Supplier bankruptcy or insolvency.

If the reason for cancellation is covered under the terms of your travel protection plan you may be able to reclaim these charges, for this reason we strongly encourage the purchase of a travel protection plan including additional cancel for any reason coverage.

Airline tickets are governed by the air carriers’ terms, and we are not responsible for any air carrier’s decision regarding refunds. Cancellation policies for cruises vary by cruise line. You will be advised of their cancellation policy at the time of booking and in your booking confirmation. If you are ever curious about the Supplier’s cancellation policies, please be sure to inquire with us prior to booking any itinerary with us. 

13. CHANGES AND CANCELLATION BY THE SUPPLIER. We will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if a Supplier needs to make a significant change to your confirmed booking or to cancel. We will also liaise between you and the Supplier in relation to any alternative arrangements offered by the Supplier, but we will have no further liability, obligation, or responsibility to you. 

If between planning time and/or during actual travel, circumstances require changes, LHT and its Suppliers reserve the right to cancel or vary any itinerary and substitute components of any trip, including but not limited to hotels and accommodations of comparable quality, air schedule or surface transportation changes (e.g., drivers and guides), security matters, and/or other events make such alterations necessary. Suppliers may substitute transportation equipment depending on any variety of factors, including the volume of passengers on a trip. During local or national holidays or special events, peak seasons, on certain days of the week, and during religious occasions, certain facilities such as museums, churches, restaurants, sightseeing tours, hotels, and shopping may be limited or not available. Alternatives will be offered whenever possible. LHT cannot be held responsible for any closures, necessary itinerary changes, strikes, or curtails for any reason. These changes will not be considered material changes and will not be considered cause for cancellation by the traveler. Normal cancellation penalties still apply to the trip that has been changed.

14. NO REFUND FOR UNUSED ARRANGEMENTS.  As our prices are based on contract rates, there will not be any refund for any unused portion of a travel booking. If you cancel while the trip is in progress, there is no refund for the unused portion.

15. FORCE MAJEURE.  LHT assumes no liability for any loss, damage, delay, or cancellation resulting in whole or in part from an Act of God or any other force majeure condition, including, without limitation: fire, volcanic eruption, hurricane, environmental pollution or contamination, inclement weather, earthquake, low or high water levels, flood, water or power shortages or failures, tropical storms or hurricanes, riots or civil commissions or disturbances, or any other acts of a similar nature, sabotage, cybersecurity issues and/or technology outages or disruptions, arrests, strikes or labor disruptions, restraint of rulers or peoples, expropriations, acts of terrorism, war, insurrection, quarantine restrictions, government health advisories, epidemics, pandemics (including, without limitation, COVID-19), or warnings or alerts of any kind of nature, government seizures, refusal or cancellation or suspension or delay of any government authority or any license, permit or authorization, damages to its facilities or the travel Supplier and its facilities, or any other unforeseen circumstances or any other factors unforeseen by LHT that impacts negatively on, or hampers, its ability to fulfill any of its contractual conditions (“force majeure”). In circumstances amounting to force majeure, we will not be required to refund any money to you, although if (and only if) we can recover any monies from our Suppliers (it being under no obligation to do so), we will refund these to you without any charge by LHT.

16. NON-RESPONSIBILITY. LHT and its members, managers, owner(s), operators, employees, affiliates, agents, and representatives (“Representatives”) use third party Suppliers to arrange tours, transportation, sightseeing, lodging, and all other services related to this trip.

LHT assumes no responsibility or liability for any delay, change in schedule, loss, injury or damage or loss of any traveler that may result from any act or omission on the part of others; LHT assumes no responsibility or liability for personal property; and LHT shall be entirely relieved of any liability, responsibility or obligations under these Terms and Conditions in the event of any force majeure. LHT accepts no responsibility for lost or stolen items. LHT reserves the right to refuse any traveler or potential traveler at its sole discretion. Traveler understands and agrees that LHT shall only be subject to limited recovery in the amount of commissions and/or fees LHT earned and received from traveler’s booking(s) and nothing more. 

17. ASSUMPTION OF RISK/WAIVER. Traveler is aware that travel to such area as traveler is undertaking on the trip may involve inherent risks, some in remote areas of the world. Inherent risks include, but are not limited to, risk of injury or death from: motor and conveyance vehicle collisions, animals, roadway hazards, slips, and falls, criminal or terrorist acts, government actions, consumption of alcoholic beverages, tainted food, or non-potable water; exposure to the elements, including heat, cold, sun, water, and wind; your own negligence and/or the negligence of others, including tour guides, other travelers, LHT and its Representatives; attack by or encounter with insects, reptiles, and/or animals; accidents or illness occurring in remote places where there are no available medical services; fatigue, chill, overheating, and/or dizziness; known or unknown medical conditions, illnesses caused by COVID-19 (or other pandemics, diseases, viruses, etc.), physical excursion for which you are not prepared or other such accidents; the negligence or lack of adequate training of any third-party providers who seek to assist with medical or other help either before or after injuries have occurred; accident or illness without access to means of rapid evacuation or availability of medical supplies or services; and the adequacy of medical attention once provided.
