Terms, Conditions, and FAQs:

Traveling safely is the top priority - for you and us - and means that everyone needs to do their part. It is important that you know the details of your Leader Learning Journey booking and agreement, including what to expect and prepare for.

The travel policies for this Leader Learning Journey are found below, along with some common FAQs. These cover our current policies on payments, refunds, travel requirements, and more.

The following policies form the booking conditions of your Leader Learning Journey agreement. Please read them carefully as they set out our respective rights and obligations. By asking us to confirm your booking, we will assume that you have read these booking terms and conditions and agree to them.

• Booking your spot - Deposits and Payments:

• Your spot is held as soon as you make your payment - either a 50% deposit or your full trip fee. Deposits need to be made by December 15, 2022, and the remaining balance must be paid before January 31, 2023. Full payments are required after January 31, 2023.
  

• If for any reason, the balance (including any charges, where applicable) is not received by the due date, we reserve the right to treat the booking as canceled by you and open your spot for someone else.
  

• The price quoted for this trip covers the cost of the planning, organization, and carrying out of the trip, including group equipment, supplies, accommodation, administration, and staff. It excludes the following, for which you must be responsible: all necessary vaccination records and fees, travel insurance, cost of travel to and from the start / return point of your trip (including your international flights), cost of passport and visas, personal equipment and personal expenses while on the trip (including solo meals, shopping, and optional activities), and any other expenses specifically excluded on the trip description.
  

• Cancellations and Refunds:
  

• If you choose to cancel your trip, that request must be sent in writing. Any cancellation will be subject to the following cancellation charges, regardless of your reason for canceling:

• All cancellation charges apply regardless of your reasons for canceling - including COVID-related reasons, which need to be covered by your own insurance.
  

• Please note that the point of this trip is education, not profit-making. So we will do our best to take into account personal needs and extenuating circumstances where we can. In the case of an unexpected cancellation, if your spot can be filled and covered by someone else or existing bookings are flexible, we will do our best to make adjustments to cancellation fees on a case-by-case basis. However, we cannot guarantee any flexibility, so by reserving your spot you are agreeing to the standard cancellation fees listed above. Please reach out to us if you have specific questions.
  

• Please note that we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation if the trip plans change due to "COVID-19" or other "force majeure” - meaning events outside our control which we could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. In the event that the trip cannot run, we will endeavor to reimburse participants based on refunds that we are able to obtain from the group bookings and local suppliers.

Your insurance should cover cancellation costs from the date of booking as well as medical expenses (including evacuation and repatriation). It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance coverage you purchase is suitable and adequate for your particular needs and meets Pratt’s travel requirements.
  

• Due to the changing nature of COVID restrictions, we require you to have insurance and recommend that you get insurance coverage for your booking as soon as possible. Make sure your policy includes ’COVID terms’ to cover you in the event that you are not able to travel due to personal covid infection.
  

• For vaccination and COVID-19 testing requirements, we will follow all official Italy-specific requirements to determine if and where participants need to be vaccinated and/or show proof of a negative COVID test. Please do your own research and we will alsodo our best to send updated information before the trip start date.
  

• You must ensure you are in possession of all necessary travel and health documents before departure - including the proper visa and passport requirements to enter Italy. All costs incurred in obtaining such documentation must be paid by you. We cannot accept any liability or responsibility if you are refused entry onto any transport or into any country due to failure on your part to carry all required documentation.
