When a client needs to cancel their trip, they must notify the company in writing and receive written confirmation of the cancellation. The agency has received your request for the submission of the cancellation date. A business has the right to compensate you for canceling your vacation if it is unavoidable and necessary.

The cancellation fee described below is a percentage of the overall fee that is published on our website's trip cost leaflet.

The Day Before (Before the Initial Trip Departure) Cancellation Charge (in %) Before 30 days  20% of your total package  Less than 30 days  40% of your total package 

If you decide to leave a trip willingly after it has begun, for whatever reason, you will not be entitled to a return of any kind from the company providing the trip. This policy applies to clients who drop out of the journey in the interest of leaving any trip voluntarily, regardless of any reason after the trip has begun. The clients will not receive a refund for the remaining money that was not used in accordance with the itinerary, and this will not be granted. In the same vein, customers are not eligible for any kind of return in the event that they do not use any of the services that they have paid for, including transportation, sightseeing, meals, or accommodation.

If the company decides to cancel the trip due to any issues regarding the trip, the company will have to refund you the full percentage of the trip price only. In the service of the client's ultimate safety, the company maintains the right to cancel any trip both during the guaranteed trip and before departure in the event that unforeseen circumstances arise which are beyond our control (for example, natural disasters, flight cancellation consequences of strikes, industrial action, wars, sickness, quarantine, government intervention, weather conditions, or other untoward occurrences). If you just have second thoughts and are therefore unable to locate dates that work for you prior to the tour's expiration date, Footprint Adventure will provide you with a full refund. In order to receive a refund for your vouchers and payments, please email us at info@footprintadventures.com.
