Changes by Us and Force Majeure

Bradypus Tours Travel Agency will not be deemed in breach of this agreement or otherwise liable to you, by reason of delay in performance or non-performance of any of its obligations under this agreement to the extent that any such delay or non-performance is due to any Force Majeure.

“Force Majeure” means any circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, terrorist activities, insurrection, explosion, flood, tempest, forceful wind, typhoon, fire or accident, war or threat of war declared or undeclared, sabotage, civil disturbance, labor strikes, requisition, sickness, quarantine, pandemic, epidemic, diseases and viruses that are known, unknown or novel such as coronavirus/Covid-19 (including any spread thereof), foodborne, airborne, and communicable illnesses and disease, government intervention of any kind that affect domestic and/or international travel, government restrictions or warnings, diplomatic or health organization (e.g., World Health Organization) warnings, border closings, weather conditions, and unforeseen circumstances.

In the unlikely situation of a Force Majeure event that prevents, significantly hinders, or makes it impossible for us or our Travel Providers to provide Travel Services, including but not limited to those listed or provided in your itinerary, we and/or our Travel Providers will be entitled to, in our sole and absolute discretion, cancel, alter, modify, postpone, or reschedule any itinerary or arrangement, including the itinerary dates and the entire itinerary itself, or take other actions that are reasonable under the circumstance.

You understand and agree that we will not be able to pay you any compensation, costs, or expenses you incur as a result of a Force Majeure. We regret that no refunds will be provided if we take any of the preceding actions due to Force Majeure, unless and to the extent we are able to obtain any refunds from our Travel Providers upon your request.

Should you wish us to request refunds from our Travel Providers, you will be charged a nonrefundable fee for such services.

Any refund under this section will be less our non-refundable administration and operational costs, and any and all non-refundable deposits and cancellation fees that we have paid to Travel Providers and other third parties to provide components of your trip.

Our administration and operational costs in planning your itinerary are not refundable because of the work involved in planning, booking, and management of your itinerary from the moment your itinerary is booked.

This administration fee is a cost that we cannot recuperate, again because of the time and materials already invested in the itinerary.

Please note that we are not obligated to seek refunds from suppliers, and in many instances, it is not possible to obtain refunds from suppliers once we have forwarded deposits for your trip to them.

This policy is based on the fact that Travel Providers, who are typically located outside the United States, are not obligated to return non-refundable deposits or waive their cancellation fees in the case of Force Majeure.

For reasons of this nature, we strongly recommend you obtain travel insurance. If you choose to cancel your itinerary—if we invoke Force Majeure, our standard cancellation penalties in the event you cancel will apply, unless we expressly state otherwise.

If Bradypus Tours Travel Agency is affected by Force Majeure, we, if practicable, will notify you of the nature and extent thereof.
