Hotels are selected, subject to availability, from grading suggested by local authorities or our representatives with due consideration to the particular needs of our pilgrims. Every effort has been made to ensure that these details are accurate at the time of publishing but, are subject to any statutory liability which may not be excluded by law. Harvest is not liable for any error, omission or inaccuracy in its brochures/websites whether occurring at, or after, the time of publishing in regard to price or any other detail or booking condition. In some circumstances beyond Harvest’s control, pilgrimage itineraries may differ to that listed in Harvest brochures, pilgrimage overviews or the Harvest website.

Any share allocation will be at Harvest’s discretion and is not guaranteed. Harvest will endeavour to match ‘Share Request’ travellers.

All costs are subject to change at any time due to alterations in taxes, charges or levies imposed by airlines, tour companies, governments, their agencies, principals and/or currency fluctuations. Harvest reserves the right to amend the price of a pilgrimage due to such increases. If the total pilgrimage cost increases by more than 10%, pilgrims will have the right to cancel within 7 days of advice of the increase without penalty. A pilgrimage can only operate at the advertised price if a minimum number of bookings are achieved. Harvest reserves the right to cancel or vary a pilgrimage prior to departure due to insufficient numbers. If at 60 days prior to departure, numbers fall below the minimum, a surcharge on booked pilgrims may be applied to ensure departure. Harvest is not responsible for disruption to any travel arrangements not booked or operated by Harvest.

13. ABOUT COSTSIncluded in the selling price of each pilgrimage are (although not restricted to) charges to cover the cost of research, reservations from agents in Australia and from our overseas destinations, postage, facsimile, telephone, bank charges, currency transfers, documents, brochure production, printing, distribution, advertising and remuneration to travel agents. Cost breakup is not supplied. Deposit payment signifies your acceptance of these usual commercial costs and fees paid to our overseas associates.

14. ALTERATION TO PRODUCT OR SERVICESIf circumstances beyond Harvest’s reasonable control require that inclusions be altered, a product of similar value or standard will be supplied. In the unlikely event of pilgrimage cancellation by Harvest, pilgrims are offered a change of arrangements, alternative tour or a full and immediate refund without further Harvest liability.

15. AIR TRAVELFlights booked for pilgrimages will be in economy class on an airline of Harvest’s choosing. Flights booked as part of a pilgrimage will be via the most appropriate route - although this may not be on a direct flight. If pilgrims choose to travel on an alternative airline to the group, they do so with the knowledge that additional costs/surcharges may apply. The scheduled flights used for all departures are subject to the usual conditions of the carrying airline and relevant to international law. Harvest accepts no responsibility for alterations to air schedules. As airfare increases and fuel surcharges can be applied without

notice we reserve the right to apply the same at any time prior to final ticketing. Airlines endorsing this and ancillary brochures do not represent themselves either as contracting with any purchaser of a Harvest pilgrimage or as having any other legal responsibility with such purchaser.

16. HEALTHAny medical condition, disability or mobility difficulty that may affect the functioning of the group must be advised on the booking form. Any pilgrim with a pre-existing medical condition or illness must declare the nature of such condition at the time of booking and make arrangements for the provision of medications or other course of treatment that may be required during the tour. Any relevant health or mobility conditions not adequately disclosed may result in your immediate and direct return to your point of departure at your expense and without availability of refund. This is necessary to assure the health and safety of all group members and in particular those with whom you may be sharing a room. We recommend you consult your doctor in respect of your intended travel as this may also have some bearing on your application for travel insurance. Your doctor or the relevant Government Health authorities can advise on any vaccination requirements necessary. Pilgrims with a serious or ongoing medical condition or mobility constraint (subject to travel approval by Harvest) must bring an accompanying able-bodied companion/carer. (refer Section 17 – Minimum Mobility Requirements). All requests for health/medical clearance submitted by pilgrims are at the sole discretion of the operating carrier/tour operator/travel insurance company. Harvest cannot be held responsible for the outcome of these decisions.

17. MINIMUM MOBILITY REQUIREMENTSMany of the sites visited on our pilgrimages require a reasonable amount of walking. Harvest must be advised, at the time of booking, of ANY physical condition that will affect your mobility. Your condition will be assessed and may require qualified medical consultation. Whilst Harvest will make reasonable attempts to accommodate any special needs, it is not responsible in the event that we are not able to do so, nor are we responsible for any denial of services by carriers, hotels, restaurants or any independent suppliers. Most transportation services, including touring coaches are not equipped with wheelchair ramps. Harvest regrets that it cannot provide individual assistance to a pilgrim for walking, dining, getting on or off coaches or other personal needs. A qualified and physically able companion/carer must accompany travellers who need assistance and must be responsible for their wellbeing. Wheelchairs, walking aides or any particular hotel room specification cannot be arranged once a pilgrimage has commenced.
