A PDF version of these terms and conditions is available here.
RESERVATIONS AND DEPOSIT
CJF Ministries requires that all tour participants secure their reservations by making a nonrefundable $500 deposit, payable to their official tour operator, CJF Ministries. All deposits must be accompanied by a completed application, a signed waiver, and a photocopy of the inside page of a valid passport, and mailed to:
CJF Ministries
611 Broadway
San Antonio, TX 78215
TOUR PARTICIPATION
Every tour participant must be in possession of a current passport (be sure to check the expiration date). Vaccinations of any kind are not required by law. No visa is required of US citizens for entry into Israel. A group visa will be obtained for entry into Jordan. Final payments to CJF Ministries are required of all participants sixty (60) days prior to departure and may be made by check, money orders, or credit cards. Payment arrangements can be made by calling (800) 926-5397.
INSURANCE
A $45 per person predeparture trip cancellation policy is available from CJF Ministries and must be paid with the initial $500 deposit. This policy applies only when cancellation results from a medical condition, as documented by an attending physician, and must be submitted in writing on the doctor’s letterhead. Payment for this policy is nonrefundable and due at the time of registration. We strongly recommend that each participant take advantage of CJF Ministries’ basic policy to guarantee protection in the event of a medical problem. Anyone who chooses to decline this coverage must indicate it on the waiver. For anyone desiring additional coverage, policies are available commercially from the many companies that cover trip cancellation, baggage delay, medical expenses, emergency medical evacuation, accidents, and other contingencies. The largest provider of travel and tour coverage is AIG TravelGuard [(800) 826-4919, or visit them online at www.travelguard.com].
CANCELLATIONS
Tour participants are subject to the following cancellation penalties, as stated below, if they cancel their reservations following final payment:
Sixty (60) days to forty-five (45) days prior to departure: $100 plus airfare and deposit.
Forty-four (44) days to thirty (30) days prior to departure: $250 plus airfare and deposit.
Twenty-nine (29) days to fifteen (15) days prior to departure: $500 plus airfare and deposit.
Fourteen (14) days to one (1) day prior to departure: 50% of tour cost plus airfare.
No-show on day of departure: one hundred percent of tour cost.
While airfare is generally nonrefundable, it may be reusable toward future travel. Typically, airlines charge a service fee plus any fare difference at time of reissue. CJF Ministries will make every effort to assist in this process but cannot guarantee credit for airfare in the event of trip cancellation. Again, participants may purchase a policy from a company like AIG TravelGuard to provide further coverage beyond the basic policy available from CJF Ministries (as previously described).
GENERAL INFORMATION
The CJF Ministries package price includes all taxes, fees, visas, and gratuities. It does not include lunches, passport fees, drinks, laundry, and other items of a personal nature. Accepting substitute participants for those who cancel will be at the discretion of CJF Ministries and based on airline ticketing considerations.
IMPORTANT LEGAL INFORMATION
CJF Ministries Inc. and its representatives, directors, employees, and agents act only as agents for the suppliers (principals) whose identity is disclosed in the travel documents and vouchers. CJF Ministries assumes no liability for injury, damage, loss, accident, delay, or irregularity in connection with the services of any airplane, motor coach, or any other conveyance used in carrying out these tours—or for the acts or defaults, financial or otherwise, of any company or person engaged in conveying the participant or in carrying out the arrangement of the tour. CJF Ministries shall not be responsible, and does not assume any liability, for breach of contract or any intentional or careless actions or omission on the part of suppliers, or any person or entity rendering any other services included in the tour, which may result in any loss, damage, delay, inconvenience, accident, or injury. CJF Ministries and its representatives, directors, employees, and agents accept no responsibility for any damage, delay, or cancellation due to sickness, pilferage, labor disputes, mechanical or construction difficulties, war, quarantine or diseases, social or labor unrest, government restraints, terrorism, weather, or any other cause beyond their control. By embarking upon his/her travel, the participant voluntarily assumes all risks involved with travel to the Middle East, whether expected or unexpected. The participant is hereby warned of such risks. In view of statutory or contractual limitation that may apply to personal injury or property losses, the purchase of personal or baggage insurance is strongly recommended (see “Insurance” on this page). Such insurance is the sole responsibility of the tour participant. CJF Ministries shall not be liable for any loss or damage to person or baggage caused by suppliers. Your retention of tickets, reservations, or bookings after issuance shall constitute a consent to the above. By forwarding deposit, the participant certifies that he/she does not have any mental, physical, or other condition or disability that would create a hazard for him/herself or other participants. CJF Ministries reserves the right to decline to accept or to decline to retain any person as a member of any tour should such person’s health, actions, or general deportment impede the operation of the tour or the rights or welfare or enjoyment of other participants. CJF Ministries reserves the right to cancel or change itineraries, or to substitute services without notice.
