A LEGAL DISCLAIMER
Liability Disclaimer for Travel Participants:
MerakiCruz Travel, its owners, partners, hosts, and affiliated tour operators act solely as coordinators of travel experiences and do not own or operate the hotels, transportation providers, activity companies, or any third‑party services used during a trip. By booking a tour, retreat, cruise, or travel package, each participant acknowledges and agrees to the following:
Assumption of Risk
Travel involves inherent risks, including but not limited to illness, injury, accidents, property loss, delays, itinerary changes, natural events, and the actions of third parties. By participating in any tour or activity, you voluntarily assume all risks associated with travel.
Release of Liability
By registering for a trip, you agree to release MerakiCruz Travel, its owners, hosts, employees, agents, and partners from any liability for:
-
Personal injury, illness, or death
-
Loss, theft, or damage to personal property
-
Delays, cancellations, or changes caused by airlines, hotels, transportation providers, weather, political events, or any third party
-
Any incident occurring during free time or optional activities not arranged directly by Meraki Cruz Travel
This release applies regardless of whether travel insurance is purchased.
Recommended Travel Insurance
To help protect yourself from unexpected events such as trip cancellation, medical emergencies, evacuation, or lost luggage, MerakiCruz Travel strongly recommends purchasing travel insurance through Allianz Global Assistance. This insurance may cover many of the risks described above; however, MerakiCruz Travel is not responsible for any costs, claims, or losses not covered by the policy.
It is the participant’s responsibility to review the policy details, understand coverage limits, and file claims directly with Allianz.
Responsibility for Personal Decisions
Participants are responsible for their own safety, health decisions, and personal belongings at all times. You agree to follow local laws, respect cultural norms, and exercise reasonable caution during all activities.
Acknowledgment
By booking a trip or submitting a registration form, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to this disclaimer and that you are participating voluntarily.
Independent Contractor Clause
MerakiCruz Travel acts solely as an intermediary between travelers and third-party suppliers (including airlines, hotels, cruise lines, and tour operators). We are not responsible for the acts, errors, omissions, or performance of these third parties.
Payment & Refund Policy
All payments, including deposits, may be non-refundable depending on supplier terms. Cancellation policies are set by each supplier and will be provided at the time of booking.
Force Majeure
MerakiCruz Travel is not liable for delays, cancellations, or disruptions caused by events beyond our control, including but not limited to natural disasters, pandemics, government actions, or transportation interruptions.
