All applications are subject to acceptance by Transformative Travel LLC.

In the unlikely event a legal dispute should arise involving any subject matter whatsoever, I agree that the exclusive venue for any legal action shall be Ellicott City, Maryland.
Due to the nature of our trips all deposits and final payments are non-refundable. Hence, it is highly recommended that travelers purchase trip cancelation insurance. We reserve the right to cancel the trip if it is not meeting the trip minimum (if we do so your deposit is refunded). All cancellations must be made to Transformative Travel LLC. in writing. Please send written requests to: 8030, Main St. Ellicott City, MD 21043 or email us at explore@transformativetravel.ltd
Transformative Travel LLC. reserves the right to cancel any trip prior to departure for any reason whatsoever, including an insufficient number of participants or logistical problems (e.g. acts of God, war, strikes, etc.), which may impede trip safety or operations. The refund of all payments as described in the paragraph below shall release Transformative Travel LLC. from any further liability. A trip cancellation due to insufficient numbers would normally occur at least a month prior to departure, unless acts of God, war, strikes or other events impede our departure causing large numbers of participants opt to cancel participation on the journey in the last days before departure.
Transformative Travel LLC. must make substantial payments to suppliers (including providers of land travel) far in advance of the scheduled date on the trip. If the trip is cancelled due to forces beyond our control (acts of God, war, labor strikes, earthquake, flooding, etc.), Transformative Travel LLC. will promptly refund the portion of the trip cost not advanced to suppliers. Transformative Travel LLC. will use its best efforts to recover advance payments as promptly as possible, and will refund to you the amount recovered, if any. However, Transformative Travel LLC. does not guarantee recovery of any or all of the advance payments made.
