What terms are
you agreeing to when booking a tour through Cozumel Tours?
We'll tell you. If you have any questions about these
terms or conditions, feel free to
contact us.
Once you have
made your reservation, and paid for your tours, we will send you an
electronic ticket for each tour via e-mail, along with all relevant
meeting instructions, contact information, or other important
information. These tickets are your admission to your tours.
You must print out your tickets and bring them with you to Cozumel,
just like you would with an airline or train ticket. On the
day of your tour, you will present your ticket to the tour operator
for admission to the tour.
Your ticket will
show the exact meeting time and location of your tour. The
times and locations shown on the rest of the website are subject to
change without notice, and only the location and time shown on your
ticket matters. If you are not at the meeting location shown
on your ticket at the time shown on your ticket, no refunds will be
issued, even if a different time or location is shown on our
website. Make 100% sure that you have your ticket with you on
the day of the tour and that you follow the instructions shown on
it's face. This will ensure you have no problems, only have
fun.
If your cruise
ship does not make port for any reason, and you are not
able to go on your tour, we will cheerfully refund all
your money - 100%! When you find out that your
ship is not going to port in Cozumel, just send us an e-mail
from the ship, or call us toll-free on your cell phone at
1-866-403-2831, and let us know. We'll cancel your
reservation, refund your money, and you're all set!
There's never a risk to book with us!
We're happy
to assist you with your cancellation up until 36 hours before
the tour with no additional fee. If you cancel,
we'll refund you 100%, less a small processing fee to
cover our expenses. However, within 36 hours of the
tour, all reservations are non-refundable, as we are unable
to get our money back from the tour operator.
5. NO-SHOW
POLICY
We are unable
to issue a refund for a no-show under any circumstances,
except our no-port, no-pay policy stated above.
6. LATE ARRIVAL
POLICY
If you are late
for your tour, and your tour leaves without you, we are
unable to issue you a refund.
7. CUSTOMER
SATISFACTION POLICY
We strive to
provide you with the best possible service in booking your
tours. However, we do not run the tours ourselves,
we simply book them for you at a discounted price.
All disputes over the quality of the tour or issues with
the tour itself, including issues regarding videos,
photos, t-shirts, etc, must be taken up with the tour
provider. Cozumel Tours cannot be held responsible
for services that we do not ourselves provide.
8. PRIVACY
POLICY
We will never
share your e-mail address with anyone else under any circumstances
without your express permission, and will never sell your
e-mail address to anyone. We value your privacy and
your security. All online transactions are processed
without a human eye ever seeing your credit card or bank
account information, and are processed with the highest
level of encryption currently available for your safety.

9. BAD WEATHER
POLICY
Most tours in
Cozumel run rain or shine. This is the tropics, so
it can rain a little bit on any given day, so if they had
a no rain policy, there would be no tour operators in Cozumel.
However, if it does rain, it's normally just for 15 minutes
of nice, warm rain (feels good in the summer months!), then
back to bright sunshine. Nothing to worry about.
If it rains on the day of your tour and the tour operator
cancels the tour, of course, you are entitled to a 100%
refund. However, if the tour still runs, rain or shine,
then our cancellation policy as stated above applies.
10. TOUR OPERATOR
POLICIES
These tours
all subject to the terms and conditions of the tour operators
themselves. You may not be allowed on the tour if you:
1) Show signs
of intoxication
2) Show signs
of infectious disease
3) Are pregnant
or do not meet the height or weight requirements for the
tour
4) Are unruly
or otherwise disrupt the enjoyment of the other participants
These terms
and conditions vary - if you have specific questions about
these policies for a certain tour, you are welcome to ask
us, or we can provide you with the contact information for
the operator themselves.
11. CHARGEBACK
POLICY
This reservation
will show up on your credit card statement as "Mexico Fun".
If you have
a complaint about any service we provide, please contact
us first. Customer satisfaction is very important
to us, and we strive to stand behind our products and services
that we sell. We will make every attempt to ensure
that you are completely satisfied with the services we've
provided you. If you are unhappy with our services
for any reason, please do not file a chargeback with your
credit card before you have given us a chance to work it
out with you. Fraudulent chargebacks (chargebacks
filed for services you did receive or issues that are listed
in the terms and conditions herein) will be assessed a $25.00
fraudulent chargeback fee and a $20.00 collection fee (charged
by the credit card company, not us), and will be pursued
through a collection agency. We know you wouldn't do that,
though, would you?
12. DISCLAIMER
(AKA THE "CYA CLAUSE")
The services
advertised on this website are provided by independent contractors
and not agents or employees of Cozumel Tours, JS Tour &
Travel Inc., or it's affiliates. Cozumel Tours, JS
Tour & Travel Inc., or it's affiliates are not liable for
the acts, errors, omissions, representations, warranties,
breaches or negligence of any such suppliers or for any
personal injuries, death, property damage, or other damages
or expenses resulting therefrom.
The Website works as a middle-agent between the client and
the operator of services listed on the Website. As such,
the Website creates the necessary commercial connections
in compliance with its own service and quality standards
to provide services such as, but not limited to, fishing
and snorkeling charters. Only the most reputable suppliers
are selected for this purpose. However, the Website cannot
be held liable for their acts, omission, wrongdoing or other.
Travel services are subject to the conditions set by those
suppliers, and their liability may, in turn, be limited
by their tariffs and conditions of service. The Website
acts only in its role of agent for the client or for the
supplier of the goods and services rendered and as such,
does not keep any legal authority or control over the operator’s
personnel, assets, operation and/or property.
The Website herewith declares that:
(a) Photographic material published on its Website is intended
to render a general depiction of the service in question
and by no means can be guaranteed that the service will
be supplied exactly as depicted.
(b) Travel services descriptions are regularly updated for
a depiction of the product as close to reality as possible.
However, the Website cannot be held accountable for variations
occurring upon your arrival at the travel service site.
(c) The Website will reserve the right to deny the supply
of a service to any client at any given moment if and when
it considers convenient to do so.
(d) Any claim or comments that the client should present
about the services received must be submitted in writing
within a period of time no longer than 14 days from travels
end date.
The Website will not assume liability for any claims, costs
or expenses arising from personal injuries to the client
or third parties, or caused by accidents, fatalities, loss
or damage to personal property, lack of enjoyment or claims
over emotional and mental states such as upset, disappointment,
anguish, distress or frustration, or any other damage, whether
physical, mental or emotional, arising from the following:
(a) Acts committed or omissions caused by any party other
than the Website or its employees.
(b) Illness, theft, labor disputes, mechanical failures,
quarantine, government actions, weather or any other circumstance
beyond direct control of the Website.
(c) The client’s failure to obtain the required travel documentation
such as, but not limited to, passports, visas and certificates,
in which case no refund will be granted.
(d) The client’s failure to comply with travel instructions
such as, but not limited to, tour dates and times, meeting
locations, or other instructions.
(e) Changes to, or cancellation of, the travel services
offered, notwithstanding the reason. The Website reserves
the right to cancel or change the travel services at its
discretion, but will try to substitute them with comparable
services. If a reservation must completely be canceled,
the Website’s liability will be limited to a refund of all
monies paid to the Website.
Despite our close communication with our selected group
of service suppliers, there is still a possibility that
changes on the rates may occur without notice. As some of
the rates become expired and cannot be timely updated by
the operator to your immediate convenience, the Website
regularly runs a rates verification process which may yield
differences between the price you have paid for your reservation
and the price you need to pay to actually enjoy the service.
When an updated rate happens to be lower than the originally
offered to you, the Website will only charge the lower amount.
When an updated price is higher than the originally quoted
price, the Website will have a travel consultant inform
you of the specific variation and the resulting balance
that needs to be covered. Should you not agree to the correct
amount and decide to cancel upon the circumstances, the
Website will honor your cancellation request without penalty.
The Website and its service suppliers will also be released
from any responsibility towards compensations that the client
may claim and will not be considered liable for any inconveniences
arising from the said rate difference and/or cancellation.
