It is your obligation to read the general conditions included in
the supplier's brochure from whom you purchase a service or
accommodation. When paying your invoice, you thereby accept all
the conditions of the supplier as well as those of LENNOXVILLE
TRAVEL, including clauses limiting liability.
When you give us a credit card number, you agree
to pay the full amount of your purchase to the credit card
issuing company. You will also have to present yourself at the
agency to sign an imprint of your card in order to validate your
purchase. If you cannot present yourself at the agency, you will
need to send us a clear copy of your card (both sides) by fax or
e-mail, along with a written statement authorizing our
supplier(s) to debit your card from the amount appearing on our
invoice. We reserve the right to refuse a credit card payment in
certain circumstances.
LENNOXVILLE TRAVEL must be informed immediately of any event
that may lead to a claim on your part, including events
occurring before departure.
Check with your travel agent if your ticket carries
restrictions. This is often the case with special price tickets
that do not allow for cancellation, changes, or reimbursement of
the amount paid.
GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. A deposit equivalent to at least 10% of the total invoice, or
the amount of deposit requested in the supplier's brochure, is
payable at the time of reservation.
2. Total payment is due at least 50 days before departure or
immediately, if purchase is made within this time limit. If not
paid, the trip could be cancelled without reimbursement of sums
already paid and without any possible recourse.
3. LENNOXVILLE TRAVEL reserves the right to charge service fees
(see below).
4. LENNOXVILLE TRAVEL has the legal obligation to charge a fee
of 3.50$ for each 1 000$ of tourism services, towards the Compensation fund for
customers of travel agencies. This fund is administered for your
protection by the Office de protection du consommateur.
5. LENNOXVILLE TRAVEL acts as an intermediary between clients
and suppliers. In no case, will the agency assume responsibility
for services not rendered or not in conformity with the
conditions of the brochure, for any event taking place during
the trip or for the refusal by a supplier to respect your
reservation.
6. In all cases of major unforeseen circumstances, you must pay
the extra charges not covered by transportation companies or
other suppliers.
INSURANCE
LENNOXVILLE TRAVEL recommends strongly that you purchase a
cancellation insurance at the time of initial deposit, as well
as insurance coverage for medical treatment and hospital care.
If you are not already covered, we also suggest that you
purchase adequate insurance to cover theft, accidents or damage
to rented vehicles. In no circumstances, will LENNOXVILLE TRAVEL
be held responsible for a problem that could have been avoided
if you had purchased the proper insurance.
In conformity to Bill 188 on the Distribution of financial
products and services, in effect since October 1, 1999, we
inform you that we have chosen to recommend insurance products
offered by RBC insurance company (formerly Voyageur), even if
other similar products exist on the market. RBC is renowned as
being responsible and trustworthy with exceptional assistance
services world wide and a record of answering promptly to all
claims.
In fact, we invite you to compare the coverage offered by RBC
with that of other insurance companies. All your personal
information (medical or other) is treated according to the
confidentiality requested by the Law on the protection of
personal information.
The client has a delay of 10 days to cancel an insurance policy.
In order to do so, he must send a written notice by registered
or certified mail. However, this delay is not valid in cases
where the insurer is already 'under the risk', for example, for
policies covering trip cancellation.
Charges related to the distribution and issuance of insurance
policies, including the agency's operation costs, salaries and
employees' continuing formation, as well as transaction fees are
included in the cost of insurance. RBC remunerates the agency
with a remittance varying between 20 and 44.5% of the cost of
insurance before taxes.

AIRPORT CHARGES AND TAXES
Please note that some airports request 'airport improvement
taxes', or local taxes (Cuba, Dominican Republic,
Venezuela, and others). These charges and taxes are payable at
the airport and you may, or may not, be told about them before
your departure. Check your travelling documents.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Please have in your possession all your travelling documents. It
is your responsibility to check which are the documents you will
need to travel: passport, visa or tourist card,
vaccination or medical certificate, identity cards with photos,
valid birth certificate, notarized letter for a child travelling
alone or with one parent, insurance policy, and so on.
Remember that it is forbidden to carry certain objects or goods
on board a plane or to import certain products in some
countries; moreover, entrance regulations vary from one country
to the other. It is your responsibility to verify the rules and
documents that apply to your own condition.
Your travel agent will help you establish which documents you
will need, but he/she cannot presume what are the specific
conditions applicable to your own personal situation.
Do not forget that schedules are subject to changes. It is your
responsibility to verify your flight times with the airline
before departure and to confirm your flight before your return.
In general, airlines recommend to phone approximately 72 hours
before flight time. It is highly recommended that you be at the
port or the airport way ahead of time: 2-3 hours for a domestic
flight, 3-4 hours for an international flight, a flight to the
USA or a cruise.
Do not forget your travel insurance!
