MDSC Travel Policy

The Metropolitan Detroit Ski & Snowboard Council

Travel Contract / Revised 08/11/06

General Trip Policy:  Trip rates are based on a minimum of people traveling.  Should participant numbers drop below this minimum, participants will be responsible for additional charges   which may be applied.

Late Payment Charges: Any passenger who does not meet the payment schedule will be charged a $10.00 late payment fee for each late payment. 

Cancellation and Refund Policy:  Any event sponsored by MDSC can be canceled at any time by airlines, ground transportation providers, or resort owners or operators. If such entities cancel an event, MDSC will exert reasonable efforts to obtain refunds of amounts paid by participants for the event. Additionally MDSC reserves the right to cancel any event at any time for its own reasons. If MDSC does so, MDSC will refund amounts received from participants for the event.

A participant who wishes to cancel a reservation for an event must notify the trip leader or the event coordinator immediately. Reservations are not transferable by participants and MDSC must make all changes. The trip leader or event coordinator will attempt to locate a replacement from a waiting list or by other means within his or her discretion.

Responsibility and Liability: The MDSC and/or the Tour Operator reserve the right to withdraw the tour, to refuse to accept or retain any person as a member of the tour at any time, or to make changes in the transportation, lodging or published itinerary, whenever in their sole judgment conditions warrant.  The passenger ticket in use by the airlines, when issued, shall constitute the sole contract between the airlines and the passenger.

Participation in any activity sponsored by MDSC is entirely voluntary, and each participant must exercise judgment and care at all times to minimize the risk of inconvenience, injury or death, to herself or himself, members of MDSC, and all other persons. The MDSC serves only as the sponsor of activities, and the MDSC, and their officers, delegates, trip leaders, and other employees, will not be responsible for or liable for any inconvenience, injury, or death that occurs during or as a result of participation in a sponsored activity.

Air and Bus Fuel Surcharge: Both the air carrier and the bus carrier may impose fuel surcharges any time up to the day of departure.  Any surcharges will be passed on those participating on the trip. 

Payments:  Participants are responsible for making payments according to the payment schedule for the event or trip.

Commitment:  I accept the provisions associated with this application regarding Responsibilities, Cancellations and Payments.

By my signature below, I understand and agree that MDSC and everyone associated with it will not be liable for any financial loss, injury or death related with this activity and I am willing to accept full responsibility.

• MDSC only arranges for lodging, meals and transportation as publicized.

• I further understand the cancellation policy for this activity/event and will abide by it.
