Sisters Traveling Solo is not an expert in covid-19, so, Traveler should contact the local government of the destination or their preferred airline carrier if they have any questions as it relates to covid-19.

Additionally, Sisters Traveling Solo resolves the right to require Travelers to take and present a negative covid test regardless of vaccination status to the Company no more than 72-hours but no less than 24-hours prior to the trip departure date even if the local country in which the trip is taking place does not require one for entry.   The trip of any Traveler who fails to present negative covid test results 24-hours prior to trip departure date will automatically be canceled.  A doctor's note does not substitute nor will be accepted in lieu of a covid test.  Home covid test results are not acceptable.  Covid test results must be from a lab.

No refunds, trip credits, or transfers will be permitted if Traveler fails to meet Country-specific entry or exit requirements or who fails to present a negative covid test as requested by the company. This includes but is not limited to an unwillingness to get any required vaccinations, inability to get vaccinated for any reasons, inability to get a covid test, test positive for covid, covid travel concerns, or for any other reasons related to covid or travel warnings. 
Liability Waivers
If an activity is considered high-risk by Sisters Traveling Solo, the Company will require Traveler to sign a liability waiver to participate in the activity. A liability waiver will be sent to each Traveler within (7) days of trip departure and is due back to the Company no later than (2) days before trip departure. Failure to provide a sign liability waiver will result in Traveler being removed from the activity. Once removed, Traveler will not be added back to the activity or refunded for missed activity.
Force Majeure
There may be times when either party is unable to perform, or complete performance, under the travel contract for reasons out of each other’s control. These are called force majeure events and if occurs, make performing under the contract inadvisable, commercially impracticable, illegal, or impossible. Events that may trigger this provision include, but are not limited to, acts of God, acts of government, acts of war or civil unrest, insurrection or revolts, military action, strikes or other labor activities, criminal or terrorist activities of any kind, or the threat thereof, pandemics, epidemics, illnesses or health conditions prevalent in the area of travel, earthquakes, hurricanes, lightning, and explosions, unexpected legislation, or any other event outside the reasonable control of either party. In the event that a force majeure event occurs, Sisters Traveling Solo will look to and follow our global pandemic policy. Passengers will be informed via email of their options if a force majeure event occurs. 
Global Pandemic Policy
The following policies and procedures are applicable with response to global diseases/pandemics, natural disasters, border closings/quarantines, acts of God, and acts of war/terrorism, emergent situations, civil unrest, or turmoil in the country (hereinafter "Global Events"), or any other reason and travel policies as applicable to all Sisters Traveling Solo trips.

By way of background, there has been an onslaught of global illnesses that have had some level of contagion that has affected travel in recent years. In recent months especially, the prevalence of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as the "coronavirus") has impacted the travel industry, including flight cancellations, trip cancellations, and more.

This Policy shall apply to any trip canceled by Sisters Traveling Solo for any reason, either relating to a Global Event or for any other reason.

By booking this trip, you understand and agree to the following:
The Company is the sole decision-maker regarding whether or not a trip is proceeding as planned regardless of U.S. travel advisories or Traveler unwillingness to travel for any reason. All trips with the Company should be considered continuing as planned unless otherwise stated by the Company. 
These provisions apply to COVID-19 or any other communicable disease that may arise or currently exists now or in the future, or for any reason listed above and below, or for any reason, even if unstated, in the sole discretion of Sisters Traveling Solo.
Sisters Traveling Solo has and reserves the right to cancel or terminate any trip at any time, in its sole discretion and at its sole determination. Sisters Traveling Solo shall be able to cancel any trip for any reason or sole discretion, including, but not limited to: global pandemics/diseases, natural disasters, border closings/quarantines, acts of God, acts of war/terrorism, civil unrest, or turmoil in the country or reason.
If Sisters Traveling Solo cancels any trip for any reason, Sisters Traveling Solo will not issue refunds of any payments made for any reason. Travelers will only be entitled to strip credit valid for 365 days from their canceled trip end date. If Traveler elects not to attend a trip for any reason other than Sisters Traveling Solo canceling the trip, the refund and cancellation provisions as stated in other sections of this Travel Agreement will prevail.
If any trip is canceled, Sisters Traveling Solo will solely provide email notification to Travelers. Travelers are responsible for ensuring that they are checking their email and receiving emails from Sisters Traveling Solo. Sisters Traveling Solo is not obligated to give any other form of notice of trip cancellation. We will keep you updated timely, and if there is no notification as to cancellation, you can proceed as planned.
Travelers understand and acknowledge that international travel is an ever-changing situation. Sisters Traveling Solo will do its best to keep Travelers reasonably informed of any changes that may affect the trip for any of the reasons detailed above.
Travelers are required and responsible for obtaining adequate travel insurance to cover the trip. Sisters Traveling Solo recommends that Travelers acquire "cancel for any reason" insurance to ensure better.
Sisters Traveling Solo Policy on COVID-19 and Other Global Illnesses coverage in the event of a global "pandemic" or other level spread of illness or any other Global Event. Sisters Traveling Solo will not be responsible for:
The cost of any travel insurance that Traveler procures;
The cost of any expenditures that Traveler incurs relating to any canceled trip; or
Any costs that are denied coverage by travel insurance, either through claims or otherwise.
For the avoidance of doubt, by way of example, if Traveler's travel insurance will not cover a flight for a canceled trip, Sisters Traveling Solo bears no responsibility for covering or reimbursing Traveler for such expenditure.
Please also note that Sisters Traveling Solo cannot delay payments or hold spots while Travelers wait to learn about travel insurance claims.
Sisters Traveling Solo will do its best to let Travelers know if a trip is canceled at least two (2) months before the trip. However, this time frame cannot be guaranteed and is not always feasible due to the ever-changing nature of such travel advisories and Global Events, especially with respect to global pandemics/diseases.
If Sisters Traveling Solo offers Travelers the option to cancel or change a trip, there will be a very specific and stated timetable or window for such Traveler-determined cancellations. Any Traveler cancellations outside of that stated period will result in the payments made being non-refundable and non-transferable. The option to change the dates of a trip will be at Sisters Traveling Solo's sole discretion.
If Traveler opts to cancel outside of or beyond Sisters Traveling Solo canceling a trip, then standard rules regarding refunds and the non-refundable nature of payments apply.
For trips that are proceeding and are not canceled, Sisters Traveling Solo has the right to change the itineraries and lodging at its sole discretion.
While Sisters Traveling Solo realizes that airline pricing fluctuates and can change instantaneously, Sisters Traveling Solo advises that it may be prudent, with the nature of COVID-19 and other diseases and Global Events, that Travelers may not want to obtain plane tickets extremely early with respect to the trip and may not want to book more than two (2) months prior to a trip, bearing in mind the fact that prices fluctuate. Ultimately, Traveler is responsible for her own airfare, and Sisters Traveling Solo bears no responsibility for lost airfare, price increases or decreases in airfare, or lack of availability, even if a trip is canceled for reasons outside the aforementioned reasons.

Sisters Traveling Solo Policy on COVID-19 and Other Global Illnesses:
Sisters Traveling Solo is not responsible for the following for any reason, regardless of trip cancellation or continuation:
Airfare purchased for the trip, whether the trip continues as scheduled, is modified or changed, is postponed, or is canceled;
Any costs associated with change fees for plane tickets;
Any costs associated with quarantine orders, including but not limited to the following:
If Traveler is quarantined overseas and unable to return to the country of origin or residence, for any period of time;
If Traveler is quarantined upon arrival back at the country of origin or residence, for any period of time;
iii. If Traveler is required to "self-quarantine" or "self-isolate" upon return to her country of origin or residence; or
iv. Any costs associated with any such order, whether they be direct or consequential (hotel costs, change fees, lodging, etc.) or incidental (loss in ages/employment, additional costs associated with quarantine, etc.).
If Sisters Traveling Solo elects to cancel a trip for any reason, the following will occur:
Travelers will be notified promptly of the intent to cancel the trip.
No payments that have been made will be refundable. Sisters Traveling Solo will issue a credit to be used on a future trip.
Sisters Traveling Solo will provide Traveler with the amount of credit that will be afforded Traveler to be used on another trip. Trip credits can only be used on Sisters Traveling Solo trips themed traditional, cultural, or Solo getaways.  
Any credit issued will only be for payments made to Sisters Traveling Solo. It will not include payments made to any third party by the Traveler.
Any credit used can only be applied to one (1) future Sisters Traveling Solo trip with a value of at least 75% of the initial trip cost. Trip credit must be used within 365 days of the canceled trip end date. For example: if the canceled trip dates were May 1 - 6, 2021, the credit would be valid from the date of Sisters Traveling Solo cancellation until May 6, 2021 - May 5, 2022. Trip credits can only be used on Sisters Traveling Solo trips, themed traditional or cultural. Credits cannot be used for any other company products or any sister brands. 
The usage of such credit will be applied to a trip with a departure date within 365 days of the canceled trip return date. This means that the trip must be traveled or commenced by May 6, 2022, per the example provided above (E), not that the deposit has been paid for a trip by May 2022.
Trip credits will not be extended if the Traveler fails to use the credit or if the Traveler fails to book an available trip during the trip credit period. No additional spots will be added to accommodate Traveler who fail to book an open trip during the next calendar year.
The Traveler will still be required to book any subsequent trip as usual by paying the deposit to secure a spot on the trip. The Traveler can then notify Sisters Traveling Solo of her intent to use the credit for that trip. Any remaining cost overage for the new trip will be split into equal monthly payments. The Traveler can immediately pay the difference in one payment upon notification of the excess amount.
Travelers will be allowed to make one transfer and will not be permitted to transfer to a different trip and make additional transfers.
Should the amount of the credit be in excess of the new trip price, Sisters Traveling Solo will issue a refund for the balance amount to the credit card Traveler made the last trip payment with. All overage refunds will take up to 14 business days to process from the time that Traveler notifies Sisters Traveling Solo that it intends to use credit on a particular trip, and Sisters Traveling Solo sends a confirmation of the booking and any overage amount.
If Traveler files a dispute for reimbursement of payment for a trip that Sisters Traveling Solo cancels or that Traveler no longer wishes to attend, all credits shall be forfeited, regardless of whether Traveler prevails in the dispute or not.
