CTI RESPONSIBILITIES:
The responsibility of CTI and/or its agents is
limited. CTI acts only as an agent for organizations
in regard to travel and assumes no liability for
injury, damage, loss, accident, delay or
irregularity either by reason or defect, through
acts of defaults of any company or person engaged in
conveying the passengers or in carrying out the
arrangements of the tours, or direct or indirect
acts of God, fire, breakdown in machinery or
equipment, riots, strikes or from any causes beyond
the control of CTI. Tour services including, but not
limited to, lift tickets, tubing tickets, rental
equipment, transportation, meals, or lodging
accommodations are furnished by independent
contractors (suppliers) and do not act for or on
behalf of CTI. CTI is not liable or responsible in
any way whatsoever for any act, error, or omission
or for inconvenience, loss, damage, injury or death
arriving out of tour arrangements.
CTI does not purport to guarantee snow conditions at
any resort at any time.
In the event of inclement weather or other causes or
events beyond the control of CTI, which result in
delays, it shall not be the responsibility of CTI to
pay for relating costs and expenses, including but
not limited to, additional lodging expense,
additional meal(s) expense, or other similar
expenses. The acceptance of tour arrangements is
deemed to be consent to the above.
Specific supplier terms and conditions, as noted in
the contract packet, supersede these General Terms,
Responsibilities and Conditions.
ORGANIZATION RESPONSIBILITIES:
Return a complete copy of the signed contract with
the Initial Per Person Trip Deposit by the due date.
All reservations are held as tentative until the
signed contract and deposit are returned. Failure to
return the signed contract and all payments by the
respective due dates will result in cancellation of
the entire trip.
The Group Rooming Form, Skier Participation Form and
Equipment Rental Form (when requested) must be
returned to CTI by the date indicated in the
contract. Equipment and sleeping rooms are not
guaranteed if information is not received by this
date. Failure to drop any unneeded rooms, meals,
equipment, etc. by the appropriate date, as noted
elsewhere in contract, will result in the group
being charged for these items.
To abide by and meet all aspects of the contract and
the General Terms, Responsibilities and Conditions.
Communicate complete and accurate information to all
participants and responsible parties (i.e. Skier
Responsibility Code, availability of lessons, trip
expenses, itinerary, phone numbers and so forth).
PAYMENTS:
The Initial Per Person Trip Deposit is used to
secure your specific number of participants (if you
originally agreed upon 50 participants and when
submitting the signed contract and the Initial Per
Person Trip Deposit only sent deposits for 40
people, the remaining 10 spots not paid for will be
dropped.) The entire amount of the Initial Per
Person Trip Deposit will apply to a completed trip
final balance.
The Non-Refundable Per Person Payment (2nd payment
outlined in the contract) is, as stated,
non-refundable but is transferable.
Final balance is due to CTI as outlined in the
contract.
All payments must be made by the sponsoring
organization on behalf of all participants in the
form of one check or money order. A service charge
of $25.00 per occurrence will apply for returned
checks.
CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS:
1. CTI will make every reasonable effort to
accommodate any additions to this contract, whether
with regard to number of participants or tour
inclusions. However, additional space is subject to
availability.
2. Should the organization cancel the entire trip
after the Initial Per Person Trip Deposit is
received but before the Non-Refundable Per Person
payment is received, the organization will receive a
refund equal to the Initial Per Person Trip Deposit
less a $150.00 cancellation fee due to CTI, as well
as any supplier service fees which occur as a result
of the cancellation. (e.g. lodging vendors might
charge a cancellation fee per unit or a
transportation vendor might retain the deposit made
on your behalf).
3. Should the organization cancel the entire trip
after the Initial Per Person Trip Deposit and the
Non-Refundable Per Person Deposit have been
received, the organization would receive the Initial
Per Person Trip Deposit (less the $150.00
cancellation fee) and the Non-Refundable Per Person
payment is forfeited.
4. Should the organization cancel the entire trip
after all funds have been received by CTI (with the
exception of ski area closure - see #5), the
Non-Refundable Per Person payment is forfeited. All
other funds (including the Initial Per Person Trip
Deposit) less any non-recoverable charges from
suppliers will be refunded.
5. Should the ski area contracted with temporarily
close prior to the organizations departure date, CTI
will attempt to reschedule or make arrangements with
an alternate location. If neither is possible and
the organization chooses to cancel the trip, all
monies paid will be refunded less a $150.00
cancellation fee and any non-recoverable charges
from suppliers.
6. After the organization has departed on the trip,
should any activity in the package become
unavailable due to the facility temporarily closing,
CTI will attempt to make arrangements elsewhere. If
this is not possible, a refund for that portion of
the package, which was not available, will be
refunded.
REQUESTS FOR CANCELLATION MUST BE MADE IN WRITING BY
THE TRIP LEADER.
PRICES:
Prices are guaranteed upon receipt of this signed
contract and the Initial Per Person Trip Deposit.
However, some suppliers reserve the right to
increase their prices without notice (e.g. fuel
surcharge by an airline or bus company). Any
resulting charges or expenses will be passed on to
the group. Group prices are based on a minimum
number of participants. Prices may increase if the
number of participants falls below the group minimum
required as noted in the contract packet.
NO REFUNDS FOR UNUSED SERVICES:
Refunds or allowances will not be made for any
unused portion of this package where the facility or
service is operational.
Any unused individual equipment rentals, lift
tickets, or ski area meal vouchers must be returned
by 11:00am on the scheduled day of use in order to
receive any financial credit.
COMPLIMENTARY PACKAGES AND COMPLIMENTARY LIFT
TICKETS:
When available, complimentary packages are based on
a specific number of participants. In most cases,
the ratio is one per 20 paid skiers. Example, for 21
to 41 paid skiers, the group would receive 1
complimentary package, for 42 to 62 paid skiers, the
group would receive 2 complimentary packages, and so
forth. If the group has less than 21 paid skiers but
more than 15 paid skiers (16-20), the group would
receive 1 complimentary lift ticket. Certain ski
resorts have higher requirements for group rates or
may have blackout periods when these incentives are
not offered. These complimentary lift tickets and/or
packages will be adjusted accordingly.
