TERMS AND CONDITIONS RESERVATIONS AND PAYMENTS:   To reserve a space on a Kids Play Int’l (KPI) trip, a $500 per person deposit is required to make your reservation. If the trip is fully booked, we will notify you and place your name on the waiting list. Upon confirmation of reservation, payment of the remaining balance is due 60 days prior to scheduled departure date or earlier if specified.  If your payment is not received 60 prior to the trip, your spot will be released and your deposit will be retained.  For reservations made within 60 days, full payment is due immediately; a deposit will be taken if you are placed on the waitlist.  All checks and money orders should be payable to People Helping People International, Inc. We do accept MasterCard and Visa. COST:   GROUND PACKAGE INCLUDES: Accommodations and meals as indicated in the itinerary; educational materials, pre-departure information, entrance fees, excursions, and sightseeing noted as included in the itinerary; all gratuities except those for meal services, unless otherwise noted in the itinerary, ground transportation during the listed KPI program, services of KPI Trip Coordinator, unless otherwise noted.  CREDIT CARD RESERVATION: Reservations may be made directly on the KPI website using AMX, Visa or MasterCard as form of payment. Any payment made by one of these credit cards will be refunded through a charge card credit in the event of cancellation.  All rates are in U.S. dollars.  The rates are based on current tariffs and are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances.  While we will always try to maintain the listed prices, if it is necessary to levy a surcharge, we reserve the right to do so, and notification will be given at the time of final invoicing.  In the event you decide to cancel because of a “Major Change,” (please see below section for definition) package prices do not include any fees or service charges other than those listed in the trip itinerary. We cannot be responsible for typographical errors, misprints, and misquotes. 
  CANCELLATION & REFUND:   There is a minimum cancellation fee of $150 for all cancellations.  90+ days:  KPI retains a $150 cancellation fee 90-60 days:  KPI retains the deposit paid 60–30 days:  KPI retains 50% of the trip cost 30 days or less:  KPI retains 100% of the trip cost   You have the right to cancel your reservation and receive a full refund (less a $150 fee per person) any time prior to 90 days before a scheduled departure date, unless, otherwise noted in the trip description.. Cancellations received 90-31 days prior to departure will be subject to the $150 fee per person plus any applicable ground penalties (up to 100% of price, which may include commercial air). Participants who cancel within 30 days prior to departure will forfeit the total amount of the reservation. All refunds will be processed according to the manner in which you paid. Unless stated otherwise in these terms and conditions, please allow thirty (30) days for refunds to be processed. If full payment is not received by the due date seats may be released.  Leaving a trip in progress, for any reason whatsoever, will not result in a refund, and no refunds will be made for any unused portions of a trip.  KPI reserves the right to cancel any trip because of inadequate enrollment that makes the trip economically unfeasible to operate or because of legitimate concerns with respect to safety, health or welfare of participants.  If KPI cancels a trip prior to departure, you will receive a full refund of money paid to KPI, except in the event the cancellation is due to a major global event that has resulted in the cancellation of multiple trips, in which case you will receive a refund and/or credit equivalent to money paid to KPI.  If we cancel the trip in progress, you will receive a prorated refund based on the number of days not completed on the trip.  We will not be responsible for any refund for nonrefundable airline tickets or for any airline tickets purchased by the passenger directly from an airline or travel agent.    Trip cancellation insurance is available at an additional cost and is highly recommended.
