3. Limits on True Colors of Italy LLC Responsibilities

TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC and its affiliates, owners, officers, agents, employees, contractors and subcontractors (hereafter in this paragraph “TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC”) purchase transportation, hotel accommodations, restaurant services, and other services from various independent suppliers that are not subject to TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC control. Neither TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC, nor any associate organization, agent, employee, contractor, or subcontractor shall be held liable for any act, default, injury (including death), loss, expense, damage, deviation, delay, curtailment, or inconvenience caused to or suffered by any person or their property, however arising, which may occur or be incurred by any organization or person, even though such act, default, injury, loss, expense, damage, deviation, delay, curtailment or inconvenience may have been caused or contributed to (a) by the act, neglect or default of TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC or its owners, officers, agents, employees, contractors and subcontractors, or of any persons for whose acts it would otherwise be responsible, or (b) defects or failures of any aircraft, vessel, automotive vehicle or other equipment or instrumentality under the control of independent suppliers.

In no event will TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC be responsible for incidental, consequential or special damages or losses suffered by any person. The maximum liability of TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC for any reason whatsoever shall be limited to the amount paid to TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC for its Services. In issuing tickets and coupons for transportation of the Client by any means and by making arrangements for hotel or other accommodations, TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC is not acting as principal but only as agent for the companies, LLCs, or persons providing or offering the means of transportation and accommodation. To the extent TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC shall not be acting as an agent, as stated above, it shall be deemed to be acting as an agent of the purchasers in arranging or booking transportation and accommodation.

6. Pricing & Changes

Occasionally, TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC may be required to alter or modify a Client’s itinerary based on events beyond the control of TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC, including vendor operating days and changes in availability. Such changes shall be considered minor changes in the itinerary and shall not be considered nonperformance under this Agreement. If a Client desires to alter, modify, postpone, or reschedule a trip or its components, the Client shall not be entitled to a refund and all refunds will be at the sole discretion of TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC.

7. Unused Services

If the Client makes any changes to any portion of the Services within 60 days of the Client’s first Excursion with TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC, such changes will be completely at the Client’s expense. Refunds are not available for Services listed in the itinerary but not utilized by the Client.

(e) TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC may cancel an Excursion or a part thereof for any reason. In the event of such a cancellation, TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC will inform the Client as soon as possible and the Client may be offered a partial refund at the sole discretion of TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC. If TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC alters, modifies, postpones, or reschedules a Client’s Excursion or offers Client a travel credit or partial refund, such action does not constitute a “cancellation” of Client’s Excursion by TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC. Upon cancellation of the services, where the Client is not at fault and has not canceled in violation of any terms and conditions clearly and conspicuously communicated to the Client in this Agreement or any other written agreement between Client and TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC, Client shall be offered a refund or credit toward a future Excursion with TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC.

9. Chargeback Policy

All Clients are required to keep a valid credit card on file. For the Client’s convenience, this credit card will be used as a form of payment for fees incurred throughout the booking process. TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC will notify the Client before each charge is made. If the Client has questions, concerns, or disputes a charge, Client shall contact TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC directly prior to initiating a refund or “chargeback” with the Client’s credit card company.

Any charges disputed with Client’s credit card company, including in the event of cancelation or postponement of Client’s Excursion as a result of Force Majeure events, will result in TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC producing a copy of this signed Agreement to the credit card company in order to recover fees. Fees associated with negotiating the chargeback, including but not limited to an hourly fee for time spent by TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC staff communications with the Client’s credit card company, will be assessed to the Client. Failure to pay for services or fees incurred by credit card disputes made in violation of this Agreement will result in immediate termination of the Services. If a credit card charge (or a check) is rejected by a bank, Client shall have 48 hours from that time to reconcile payment, and after such time shall be charged a $25.00 processing fee.

Client shall be responsible for all costs of collection, including legal fees, incurred by TRUE COLORS OF ITALY LLC as a result of Client’s failure to make payment when due.
