DISCLAIMER

Our Service

At Experience Tourism (experience-tourism.com) our aim is to provide you with information about and access to courses available around the world to foreign learners and travellers.

Referral Service and Education Agent Service

Experience Tourism has different contracts and understanding of representation with its different partner providers. In some cases we act only as a referral service and will put you in direct contact with the service provider. However in other cases we act as an Education consultant or agent on behalf of our partners or education institutions required by individual students and their different needs. This means experience-tourism will require certain information, including documentation for registration on said course and will be responsible for taking payment too. It also means that sometimes Experience Tourism may assist students in their application process with educational organisations who are not partners. In these cases we will do our utmost to ensure that accurate and reliable information is transferred between student and school. This will be in the English language and all care will be taken for clarity and comprehension on both sides. Both parties should also take care to understand and relay all information as precisely as possible to avoid misunderstandings which could be costly (money and time) or hamper an application. Experience Tourism will not take responsibility for any misunderstandings, misconception or applications made with fraudulent information. This is the sole responsibility of the applicant. 

 

Liabilities for Referral and Education Agent services
Because of the service we provide in this instance and how we provide it, it is important for you to understand the limitations of our liability, so we have detailed these below and by reading these or using the site you are agreeing to these limitations in full and you also are agreeing to accept the application of English law to govern matters between Experience Tourism and yourself. 

a) Your course
For some of our courses we simply refer you to the `provider. We are not and do not act as a tour operator, travel arranger or organiser or as a travel agent for operators and accommodation owners in the sense that we do not take your money on their behalf or act as go between in any issues relating to your holiday. Your contract will be with them and them only and they are fully liable for every aspect of their holiday product that you buy, according to their own terms and conditions. So we urge you to check these carefully in full before you book. 

b) Holiday protection

b.1) Insurance

Experience Tourism recommends getting travel insurance before you leave for your vacation. Click here to view our section on travel insurance and recommended insurance company.

 

 

b.2) If your tour operator or like ceases trading

Experience Tourism advises that not all courses or ‘experiences’ promoted on our site are supplied by tour operators. Many services are provided by accredited schools or education institutions highly experienced in their field. However should they cease to trade between the time of your booking and departure Experience tourism cannot be held liable for any financial losses that customer might experience. We recommend you look into how your money is protected by understanding the laws governing such incidents in the country you are visiting. These will be different accordingly.

 

Holidays provided by EU based tour operators are either formally bonded or operate a system of separate client accounts with external signatories, to provide you with financial security in the unlikely event that they should cease to trade. Holidays from overseas tour companies will almost probably operate different bonding regulations from country to country.

 

We strongly encourage you to enquire about how your money is protected directly with the company you are booking with, or take out personal travel insurance that covers the failure of the holiday provider. When booking hotels & accommodation it is usual to pay after the completion of your stay. Payment via a credit card is often a good option as this may offer additional financial protection.

Experience Tourism do not accept any liability for, or warrant the quality and standard of any of the holidays that you are sold by our holiday providers. And specifically, Experience Tourism is not liable for any injury and/or damage to persons or property occurring during or as a result of any holiday taken as a result of enquiries made through this website. 


c) Holiday provider practices 
Again we do our best to ensure that all the holidays abide by the policies that these operators and accommodation owners claim to follow, but we are not able to guarantee they do at all times. If we are alerted to bad practice by any of our holiday providers we will immediately investigate the matter and take appropriate action in advising them to correct these or removing them from the site.

d) Information on the site 
We also rely on the information about our provider’s product as supplied by them to use on our site including all imagery supplied by the tour operators and accommodation providers we feature on our site. We're not able to assume responsibility for this information and we have to disclaim all liability in respect of such information, please check the information fully with the holiday provider. And please note that prices quoted are for guidance only.

Experience Tourism is not liable for any injury and/or damage to persons or property caused by any actual or alleged libellous statements, infringements of intellectual property or privacy rights, or product liability, whether resulting from negligence or otherwise, including without limitation, from any use or operation of any ideas, instructions, procedures, products or methods contained in the material published on the site. Experience Tourism is also not liable for any copyright infringements.
