Jewels Travel & Tours
Terms & Conditions
IDENTIFICATION: Guests are required to make reservations in the full name that is listed on his/her government document they will use for travel. If you need to make any changes to a name after travel documents have been issued, clients will be responsible for all name change fees, if applicable.
SELLER OF TRAVEL: Jewels Travel & Tours is an independent affiliate of Archer Travel Service, which is registered as Florida Seller of Travel Ref. No. 35395 and California Seller of Travel No. 2001330-10.
PAYMENTS AND CANCELLATIONS: Unless otherwise defined during the reservation process, final payment is due prior to departure or consumption according to each supplier’s (airline, hotel, cruise line, transfer company, sightseeing operators, and other travel service vendors) terms and conditions involved in your travel booking. If final and full payment is not received by the applicable due date, reservations are subject to cancellation and deposits shall be forfeited. In some cases, there is NO REFUND once a booking is made and paid for. Your right to a refund if you change or cancel your travel plans is limited. All cancellation requests must be sent to Jewels Travel & Tours in writing. Because of cancellation, Jewels Travel & Tours and third-party supplier’s cancellation penalties will apply, which are detailed in your travel documentation and each supplier’s website. Jewels Travel & Tours charges $50 per person if a trip is cancelled. The cancellation fee(s) will have to be paid before the trip is fully cancelled and refund is issued. Cancellation penalties are advised at time of booking and provided to you upon confirmation. If you have any questions, or any penalties are unclear, please contact your Jewels Travel & Tours agent. All cancellation fees will be charged to the credit card you authorized to pay for travel services or deducted from the supplier’s refund.
REFUNDS: Some payments to Jewels Travel & Tours are non-refundable and non-transferable. This is because Jewels Travel & Tours has contractual agreements with hotels, airlines and other vendors that will not allow us to obtain any refunds. This way we can keep our package prices competitive and allow you to make monthly payments on your vacation.
PASSPORT AND VISA: Passengers are responsible for ensuring that they have the proper travel documents and MUST CHECK with the respective consulate(s) or visa agency to determine whether any visas or passports are required. Passports are required to be valid for at least 6 months after the date of travel. Some countries require a full blank “VISA” page in the passport for stamping purposes. Any information provided on travel description pertains to US citizens only. Non-US citizens should check with the respective consulate of the country(s) to be visited for current entry requirements. We strongly suggest all cruise passengers to have a valid passport in their possession while cruising.
INDIVIDUAL ENTRY AND EXIT REQUIREMENTS: Each foreign country holds different views of past criminal offenses, whether within or outside of their boundaries. If you have a current or past offense, and you are unsure how the country you are traveling to (or through) views that offense, please contact that country directly for entry and exit requirements.

We feel it is an invasion of privacy for any member of our staff to make such an inquiry. For example, if traveling to or through Canada, Americans with a Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) record should always check whether current rules exclude admission, and potential waivers.

TRAVEL INSURANCE: Jewels Travel & Tours offers access to many optional products and services to enhance every travel experience. Options such as travel insurance protect passengers and their investment. Unless specifically noted, travel insurance is not included in the cost of the itinerary to protect against third party supplier default/bankruptcy protection, delay, interruption; missed connection for cruises, cancellation, medical emergency transportation/evacuation, repatriation, and baggage and personal effects lost or delay, illness, job loss protection, accidental death and disability, travel accident/sickness medical expenses, and more. Proper insurance may protect you from financial loss in almost all circumstances. Without appropriate travel insurance, Customer understands and agrees that if Customer cancels or interrupts Customer’s travel for any reason, portions of the trip/tour may not be refunded, and Jewels Travel & Tours and travel suppliers cancellation penalties will apply resulting in the loss of monies up to the full cost of Customer’s travel booking and related costs. The purchase of travel insurance is not required in order to purchase any other product or service offered by Jewels Travel & Tours. Employees of Jewels Travel & Tours are not qualified or authorized to answer technical questions about benefits, exclusions, and conditions of any of the insurance offered, nor evaluate the adequacy of the prospective insured’s existing insurance coverage. An additional charge applies for travel insurance selected.
PHOTOGRAPHS/VIDEOS: Jewels Travel & Tours reserves the right to use any photograph/video taken at any event or during any travel activity, without the express written permission of those included within the photograph/video. Jewels Travel & Tours may use the photograph/video in publications or other media material produced, used, or contracted by Jewels Travel & Tours, including but not limited to: brochures, invitations, books, newspapers, magazines, television, websites, etc. Any person desiring not to have their photo taken or distributed must contact Jewels Travel & Tours in writing at jewelstraveltours@gmail.com of his/her intentions and include a photograph.
AIRLINES: Jewels Travel & Tours is not responsible for the services and policies imposed by the airlines. Airline schedules and flights are subject to change without notice. Jewels Travel & Tours is not responsible for penalties incurred for tickets, international or domestic, not issued by Jewels Travel & Tours due to schedule and/or flight changes. Airline reservations completed online are subject to review and, should Jewels Travel & Tours deem it necessary, may be rebooked to match minimum connecting time requirements and/or tour package itineraries, in which case you will be notified immediately. Airlines reserve the right to demand immediate issuance of tickets whenever they determine that specific flights are heavily booked even when normal ticketing rules do not require tickets to be issued until a later date. In this instance, Jewels Travel & Tours will require immediate and full payment of the airfare. This type of situation overrides invoice terms and conditions and payment due dates. If full payment is not received, seats will be cancelled by the airline and may not be available to be rebooked on the same flights or at the same airfare. Any replacement air arrangements and airfare will be the sole responsibility of the passenger.
