RESPONSIBILITY
Country Heritage Tours Inc is an independent company
(“the Company”) licensed to market and distribute
travel products under the Country Heritage Tours ,
America’s Favorite Quilt Tour Company and Journeys
That Color Your World brand name and tag lines,
and arrange for the vacation services offered on this
website or in the brochure, including transportation,
sightseeing, and accommodations through
independent contracts.
Air carriers, accommodations, and other suppliers
(including, but not limited to, trains, cruises, ferries,
motorcoaches, hotels, and restaurants) providing services are independent contractors and are not agents,
employees, servants, or joint venturers of the Company
or its affiliates. From time to time, and for the purpose
of identifying those independent third-party suppliers
of services as the provider of a component or part of a
Country Heritage Tours package or tour, some or all of
those entities may utilize the name “Country Heritage
Tours”on promotional media, signage, or attire.
Although you may see the name “Country Heritage
Tours”on vehicles, signs, apparel, or elsewhere during
your cruise, tour, or excursion, its use by third-party
suppliers is solely for the purpose of identification and
does not represent or signify in any way ownership,
management, supervision, or control by the Company
of services that are provided by independent third
party suppliers or of the employees, servants, or agents
of the third-party suppliers. All certificates and other
travel documents for services issued by the Company
are subject to the Terms & Conditions specified by the
supplier, which are available upon request, and to the
laws of the countries in which the services are supplied.
The international carriage of passengers is subject
to international conventions and treaties, where
applicable. These international agreements limit and, in
some events, exclude the carrier’s liability to passengers
(vacation participants). Where any claim or part of a
claim (including those involving death or personal
injury) concerns or involves any travel arrangements
(including the process of getting on or off the transport
concerned) provided by any air, sea, inland waterways,
rail or road carrier, or any stay in a hotel, the Company’s
maximum liability is the maximum that would be
payable by the carrier or the hotel keeper concerned
under the applicable international convention, treaty,
or regulation applicable to the travel arrangements or
hotel stay (e.g., the Warsaw Convention, the Montréal
Convention for international travel by air, the EU
Regulation on Air Carrier Liability for air carriers with
an operating license granted by an EU country, the
Athens Convention for international travel by sea) in
that situation.
After departure, if the Services included in the vacation
cannot be supplied or there are changes in an itinerary
for reasons beyond the control of the Company,
depending on the circumstance, the Company will
take reasonable action to arrange for the provision of
comparable services. Any resulting additional expense
will be the responsibility of vacation participants, and
any resulting savings will be refunded by the Company
to vacation participants.
The Company reserves the right to accept or reject
any person as a vacation participant; to expel any
participant from the vacation; to make changes in the
itinerary whenever the Company deems it necessary
for the comfort, convenience, or safety of the participants; and to cancel a vacation at any time.
The vacation participant agrees that neither the Company nor its affiliates shall be liable for any damage, loss
(including personal injury, death, and property loss),
or expense occasioned by any act or omission of any
supplier providing services, any insurer or insurance
administrator under the Travel Protection plan, or any
other person.
Any dispute between the vacation participant and the
Company, directly or indirectly relating to the Terms &
Conditions and/or the vacation undertaken, shall be
first submitted to mediation in New Hampshire, before
a mediator mutually agreed to by the parties. If mediation is not successful, then the dispute shall be resolved
by binding arbitration under New Hampshire law.
Arbitration against the Company or the vacation
participant shall be invoked in writing under the
laws of the State of New Hampshire within a period
of 12 months following the date of completion of
the vacation and not later. Neither of the parties
nor any affiliate of the Company shall in any case
be liable for other than compensatory damages,
and they hereby waive any right to claim punitive
damages. The Governing and substantive law for
the Arbitration proceedings would be laws of the
State of New Hampshire, USA. The prevailing party
shall be entitled to an award of costs and reasonable
attorneys’ fees.
Any action to enforce the arbitrator’s decision shall be
brought only and exclusively in the state or federal
courts in the State of New Hampshire, USA.
No person, other than an authorized representative of
the Company by a document in writing, is authorized
to vary, add, or waive any term or condition on its
website or in its brochure, including any term or
condition set forth in the preceding provisions.
