We act as an agent: Epitourean, LLC does not operate or own any of the venues, accommodation or operators for the packages that we offer. We operate on an agency model as an agent for our suppliers. This means that the contract for the packages we arrange is between participants and the supplier.

While we have taken all reasonable measures to ensure that the packages we offer are organized properly, and that venues and services are reputable and safe, any disputes or issues regarding participation in a package, including recovery of any fees already paid to the supplier by Epitourean, LLC or participant, are the responsibility of the participant. As the agent, we will, of course, do our best to resolve any issues between you and the supplier.

Problems: Epitourean, LLC and its representatives cannot be held liable or responsible for problems, cancellations, or behavior experienced by a participant with a supplier, nor for any injury, damage, accident, loss, delay, expense or other issue because of any act or default of any of our suppliers, nor due to war or threat of war, terrorism or threat of terrorism, civil unrest or threat of civil unrest, act of government or civil authorities, sickness, theft, fire, adverse weather conditions, or any other cause beyond the control of Epitourean, LLC or a supplier. If a tour is interrupted or rescheduled due to any of these events or actions, a future travel credit for all deposits or payments will be provided by Epitourean, LLC in lieu of refund.

Risks and losses: There are inherent risks in travel and culinary activities. In consideration of Epitourean, LLC furnishing services that allow participants to join a culinary package, participants understand and agree that culinary packages and travel have these inherent dangers and risks; that participation in travel and culinary packages may result in injury or illness; and that these dangers and risks may be the result of negligence by participants, our suppliers, or other third parties, or simply mysterious forces at work.

In other words, by joining one of our packages, participants assume all risks and dangers, and all responsibility for any losses or damages. Participants, and their personal representatives and heirs, agree to release, waive, discharge, hold harmless, defend and indemnify Epitourean, LLC and its agents, officers and employees from all claims, actions or losses for bodily injury, wrongful death, property damage, loss of services, or other claims that may arise because of participation in packages booked by Epitourean, LLC.

Prices for packages include items as stated on our website and booking forms. Prices are subject to change without notice. Of course, payment of a deposit for a package booking confirms the price at the time of booking, even if the price later increases.

Package Cancellation: There are two types of cancellation: those made by participants for any reason and those made by Epitourean, LLC.

If made by you, cancellation must be made in writing via mail or fax to Epitourean, LLC and will become effective upon receipt by Epitourean, LLC. Our cancellation charges and schedule are indicated above, if any should apply.

If a participant chooses not to use any portion of a package, there will be no refunds for the unused portion.

Our suppliers and Epitourean, LLC reserve the right to modify a package or cancel a package prior to commencement, for whatever reason, including an insufficient number of participants. If a tour package is cancelled, and not rescheduled, participants are due a refund of all payments received. Because the contract for the package is between the participant and supplier, the supplier is responsible and liable for refund of payments made to the supplier, whether by Epitourean, LLC or the participant directly. Any payments collected by Epitourean, LLC but not yet submitted to the supplier will be refunded by us. As an agent, we cannot be held responsible or liable for recovery of a participant's payments held by a supplier.

Restrictions: Epitourean, LLC reserves the right to accept or refuse any person as participant of any package. For example, some of our supplier venues may not be suitable for people with special physical or mental requirements. Any physical or mental disability requiring special attention or provisions must be noted in writing to Epitourean, LLC at the time of booking. While Epitourean, LLC will make every effort to ensure that a supplier meets special needs required by the participant, we cannot be held liable or responsible for these requirements, for any problems experienced by the participant as a result of these requirements, or for any additional costs to meet these special requirements.

Transport: Epitourean, LLC does not book or provide any air, land or sea travel (except where noted within the package inclusions) for participants, nor can we be held liable or responsible for any travel issues, delays or problems experienced by a participant with their travel carrier.

Documentation: We do not provide assistance with visas, international driving licenses, passports, or any other travel documentation. It is the participant's responsibility to have a valid passport, required visas, and any other traveling documents required by governmental regulations. Epitourean, LLC cannot be held liable or responsible for problems related to these documents, or the lack of them, or the recovery of lost documents. (We recommend bringing photocopies of your passport, visas, driver's license, and insurance papers on your trip, but stored separately from the originals.)

These terms and conditions, and a participant's acceptance of them by booking a package through us, are governed by Colorado law. Of course, we prefer to resolve any issues through clear communication, understanding of responsibilities, proper manners, and good customer service.
