RESPONSIBILITIES & CONDITIONS:  The New York Botanical Garden and its agents, affiliates, cooperating airlines and agencies act only in the capacity of agents in all matters of transportation and tour operation, and their liability is limited to the terms of the airline tickets and land accommodation contracts.  They are not liable for any delays, inconveniences, accidents, expense, or mishap of any kind whatsoever resulting entirely, or in part, from the negligence of others or from causes beyond their control.  They can accept no responsibility for losses or additional expenses due to delay or changes in air or other services, sickness, weather, strike, war, quarantine, or other causes.  Losses or expenses will have to be borne by the passenger since tour rates provide for arrangements only for the time stated.  Personal travel insurance is strongly recommended.  The right is reserved to substitute accommodations or modes of transportation and to make changes in the itinerary when necessary.  On tours of this type, it is not possible to accommodate persons with health problems or physical disabilities which limit walking or other activities.  One must assume the risks inherent in foreign travel to less developed areas of the world.  It is the passenger’s responsibility to judge the appropriateness of these travel activities in conjunction with his/her physician.  The New York Botanical Garden and affiliates take no responsibility for special arrangements or problems incurred by passengers physically unable to participate in planned activities, or with special dietary needs.  No refund can be made for absence from the tour.  The right is reserved to decline to accept or to retain any person as a tour member for any reason which affects the operation of the tour or the rights and welfare or enjoyment of the other tour members.

The price of the tour is based on current tariffs and exchange rates and is subject to adjustment in the event of any change therein.  Baggage is at the owner’s risk entirely.  If the entire program must be canceled, participants shall have no claim other than for a full refund.
