TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE

Please read these Terms and Conditions of Service (these “Terms”) thoroughly and carefully before booking travel with us. These Terms govern the provision of services by CrossAfrica & Co., LLC (“Cross Africa”) to you and all other travelers (collectively, “Customer”) listed in the corresponding booking confirmation (the “Booking Confirmation”). By booking travel with Cross Africa, Customer understands, acknowledges and agrees to these Terms.

1. Applicability

These Terms, which include the Booking Confirmation, invoice, travel itinerary (“Itinerary”), Release and Waiver of Liability (the “Release”) and all other documents, terms and conditions and policies referenced herein, comprise the entire agreement between and among Cross Africa and Customer with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties and communications, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event that the terms and conditions of these Terms conflict with any terms and conditions set forth in the Booking Confirmation, invoice, Itinerary, Release or other documents, terms and conditions and policies referenced herein, the terms and conditions most favorable to Cross Africa shall govern and control.

2. Payments

Deposit. A non-refundable deposit equal to [_25_]% of Customer’s total travel costs is required to guarantee Customer’s reservation. If the departure date is within [45] days of Customer’s booking date, then full payment of Customer’s total travel costs is required to book Customer’s travel.

Final Payment. Full payment of Customer’s travel costs is due [45] days prior to the applicable departure date. If Customer fails to pay in full Customer’s travel costs on or before the [45th] day prior to such departure date, then Cross Africa shall have the right to cancel Customer’s booking in its sole and absolute discretion. All payments are subject to the cancellation fees set forth below.

Surcharges and Exchange Rates. Travel rates and prices quoted are based on tariffs, exchange rates, energy and fuel surcharges, supplier costs and other costs and expenses applicable at the time of booking, and are subject to availability. In the event that the rates and prices used at the time of booking vary by more than two percent (2%) at the time of travel, Cross Africa reserves the right to recalculate all applicable travel rates and prices and apply the differential as a surcharge to Customer. Cross Africa also reserves the right to adjust its travel rates and prices up to the time of your final payment to Cross Africa and to correct any published prices, quotes and Itinerary if Cross Africa becomes aware of such an error.

3. Cancellations

Cancellations by Customer. In order to cancel travel, Customer shall provide Cross Africa with written notice of cancellation by e-mail to [crossafricaco@gmail.com]. All cancellations are subject to the following cancellation fees:

Refunds. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as expressly set forth herein, all refunds are in Cross Africa’s sole and absolute discretion. In the event that Customer fails to join a trip after the departure date or leaves a trip prior to its completion, Cross Africa will not refund to Customer any payments. Any request to amend or change a booking once confirmed may be accommodated subject to space availability, and in each case, subject to Cross Africa’s sole and absolute discretion and applicable change fees. Customer understands, acknowledges and agrees that no refunds will be given for (i) lost travel time or substitution of activities, accommodations or facilities, (ii) amendment of the Itinerary after departure, (iii) for circumstances arising beyond the control of Cross Africa, including such circumstances necessitating alternative arrangements to ensure the safety and enjoyment of Customer’s travel, or (iv) any unused portion of Customer’s travel regardless of reason, including, but not limited to, sightseeing, activities, meals, accommodations or transport.

Cancellations by Cross Africa. In addition to any other cancellation rights set forth in these Terms, Cross Africa reserves the right to cancel any confirmed booking at any time without liability. In the event that Cross Africa cancels a confirmed booking (other than for Customer’s breach of these Terms or failure to complete payment), Customer will have the opportunity to purchase alternative travel from Cross Africa of the same value as the original travel. If such alternative travel is less expensive than the original travel, then Cross Africa will refund to Customer the difference; and, if such alternative travel is of greater value than the original travel, then Customer must pay the difference to Cross Africa. Alternatively, if Customer requests during the thirty (30) days following such cancellation, Cross Africa will refund Customer’s monies, except for certain non-cancellable costs and expenses that may not be refunded due to circumstances beyond Cross Africa’s control. Notwithstanding anything herein the contrary or otherwise, Cross Africa shall not be liable for any costs incurred by Customer as a result of any cancellation.

4. Itinerary Changes

When services, activities and accommodations described in the Itinerary cannot be supplied or the Itinerary is changed due to cancellations, delays or other causes of any kind or nature beyond Cross Africa’s control, Cross Africa may seek to supply comparable services, activities accommodations and itineraries. There shall be no refund in these circumstances. Cross Africa reserves the right to make changes to the Itinerary and/or cancel any activities and shall have no liability whatsoever from or relating to such adjustments or cancellation.

Registered Seller of Travel. Cross Africa is a registered seller of travel in California, Registration No. [ ]. Registration as a seller of travel does not constitute approval by the State of California.

Waiver. No waiver by Cross Africa of any of the provisions of these Terms is effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by Cross Africa. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from these Terms operates or may be construed as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder precludes any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary or otherwise, Cross Africa shall not be liable or responsible to Customer, nor be deemed to have defaulted or breached these Terms, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of these Terms when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Cross Africa including, without limitation, acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, governmental actions, war, invasion or hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot, or other civil unrest, national emergency, revolution, insurrection, epidemic, lock-outs, strikes or other labor disputes (whether or not relating to Cross Africa’s workforce), or restraints or delays affecting carriers or inability or delay in obtaining supplies of adequate or suitable materials, materials or telecommunication breakdown or power outage.

Assignment. Customer shall not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of Cross Africa. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of the foregoing is null and void. No assignment or delegation relieves Customer of any of its obligations under these Terms.

Relationship of the Parties. The relationship between the parties is that of independent contractors. Nothing contained in these Terms shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, joint venture or other form of joint enterprise, employment or fiduciary relationship between the parties, and neither party shall have authority to contract for or bind the other party in any manner whatsoever.

No Third-Party Beneficiaries. These Terms are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of these Terms.

Governing Law. All matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement are governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of California.

Arbitration Agreement. Any and all claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with these Terms or the use of any service or information provided by Cross Africa that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to by Cross Africa, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This arbitration agreement applies to Customer and Cross Africa, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of the services provided under these Terms. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this arbitration agreement. Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, then the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including, but not limited to, the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000.00 may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is $10,000.00 or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Arbitration Rules. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorneys’ fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this arbitration agreement. In any circumstances where the foregoing arbitration agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within San Francisco, California, for such purpose.

Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder (each, a “Notice”) shall be in writing and addressed to the parties at the addresses set forth in the Booking Confirmation or to such other address that may be designated by the receiving party in writing. Unless expressly set forth herein, all Notices shall be delivered by personal delivery, nationally recognized overnight courier (with all fees pre-paid), facsimile or email (with confirmation of transmission) or certified or registered mail (in each case, return receipt requested, postage prepaid). Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Notice is effective only (a) upon receipt of the receiving party, and (b) if the party giving the Notice has complied with the requirements of this section.

Severability. If any term or provision of these Terms is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of these Terms or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Survival.
