Please read these Terms & Conditions carefully before booking.

1. Contract & Tour Operator

The Fashion History Tour is operated by MNR Travel Ltd, a company registered in Scotland (Company No. SC487603), trading as Creative Travel Services (CTS), with its registered office at 55 Westfield Avenue, Cupar, Fife, KY15 5AA, United Kingdom.

When you submit a booking and pay your deposit, a legally binding contract is formed between you (“the Traveler”) and MNR Travel Ltd (“CTS”).

April Calahan and Cassidy Zachary of Dressed Media, LLC act as on-site hosts and content leaders. April, Cassidy and their assistant will be your point of contact for questions or concerns while on tour. They are not the tour operator and do not assume legal or financial responsibility for tour operations.

2. Eligibility, Minimum Age & Group Size

Participation is limited to travelers aged 18 years or older at the time of departure. Maximum group size is 25 travelers with two additional hosts and assistants. 

By booking, you confirm that you meet this requirement.

3. Booking & Deposit

A non-refundable deposit of 20% of the total tour price is required to secure your place.

Your booking is confirmed only once the deposit has been received and written confirmation has been issued by CTS.

If deposit payment is not received within 7 days of booking, CTS reserves the right to release your place.

4. Payment Schedule

The remaining balance is due no later than 90 days (3 months) prior to departure.

Bookings made within 90 days of departure require full payment at the time of booking.

Failure to make payment by the due date will be treated as cancellation by the Traveler, and cancellation charges will apply.

Rates: 

Rates are quoted in USD and are based on current exchange rates. All rates are quoted per person. CTS reserves the right to adjust prices and/or itinerary as necessary due to availability or unforeseeable events. Once the deposit is received, CTS will begin the confirmation process. Upon confirmation, all rates are guaranteed. NOTE: Once CTS receives a group deposit, all rates are guaranteed against currency fluctuations. 

Payment: 

Payments can be made by credit card to CTS.  The purchaser's credit card will be charged by CTS and will appear as follows on your credit card statement: “MNR TRAVEL LTD”. 

5. Travel Insurance (Mandatory)

All travelers are required to obtain comprehensive personal travel insurance, including coverage for:

• Trip cancellation and interruption
• Medical expenses and emergency evacuation
• Personal liability
• Loss or theft of personal belongings

Proof of insurance may be requested prior to departure.

CTS strongly recommends purchasing insurance at the time of deposit payment.

6. Cancellations by the Traveler

All cancellations must be submitted in writing.

Cancellation terms are as follows:

• The 20% deposit is non-refundable
• The final balance is due 90 days prior to departure. Once the final payment has been made, all payments become non-refundable.
• However, in the event of cancellation after final payment, we will make every reasonable effort to recover costs from suppliers or to resell the cancelled space. If we are successful in doing so, a partial refund may be issued on a case-by-case basis, less any unrecoverable costs and administrative expenses.

No refunds will be issued for unused services, late arrival, or early departure.

7. Cancellation or Changes by CTS

CTS reserves the right to cancel the tour if:

• Minimum participant numbers are not met
• Circumstances beyond reasonable control make operation unsafe or impracticable

In such cases, travelers will receive a full refund of monies paid to CTS.

CTS is not responsible for additional costs such as airfare, insurance premiums, visa fees, or personal travel arrangements.

CTS reserves the right to make minor itinerary adjustments due to operational requirements, supplier changes, or local conditions.

8. Third-Party Suppliers

CTS contracts with third-party providers including hotels, transportation companies, guides, museums, and cultural institutions.

All such services are provided subject to the terms and conditions of those suppliers.

CTS is not liable for:

• Acts, omissions, or defaults of third-party providers
• Closure of attractions or venues
• Changes imposed by cultural institutions or local authorities
• 
  

CTS will use reasonable efforts to provide comparable alternatives where possible.

9. Health & Fitness to Travel

We will be relying primarily on the Paris Metro to get around Paris. You can expect to walk several miles a day and encounter lots of stairs with limited to no access to elevators. This means you are an on-the-go traveler and walking several miles a day and traversing uneven surfaces is not a problem for you.  Our robust itinerary means departing the hotel in the morning and returning in the late afternoon/early evening. This trip will be a challenge for those requiring long rest periods and is not a good fit for travelers with limited mobility.

Travelers are responsible for ensuring they are medically and physically fit to participate. Any mobility concerns or medical conditions that may affect participation must be disclosed at the time of booking.

CTS reserves the right to decline participation where a traveler’s condition presents a risk to themselves or others and cannot reasonably be accommodated.

10. Room Assignments, Double & Single Occupancy 

If you requested double occupancy, we will pair you with another traveler who has requested to be paired with a roommate. We cannot guarantee any requested attributes of your roommate and selecting to be paired with a roommate is at your discretion. Single occupancy rooms are on a first-request basis and subject to availability. 

11. Conduct

Travelers are expected to behave respectfully toward hosts, fellow participants, staff, and suppliers. Guests are expected to arrive at all meeting points at designated times. Due to the timed nature of group tours, please expect that we are unable to accommodate late-comers and missed connections. 

CTS reserves the right to remove any traveler whose behavior:

• Endangers others
• Causes significant disruption. 
• Violates local laws

No refund will be issued in such circumstances.

12. Responsibility & Limitation of Liability

CTS provides services with reasonable care and skill.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

• CTS is not liable for indirect or consequential losses.
• CTS is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to personal property.
• CTS is not liable for injuries arising from independent activities undertaken outside the scheduled program.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by proven negligence.

13. Force Majeure

CTS shall not be liable for failure or delay in performance due to circumstances beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to:

• Natural disasters
• Government restrictions
• Strikes
• War or civil unrest
• Pandemic-related restrictions
• Closure of cultural institutions

Refunds in such circumstances will be subject to recoveries from third-party suppliers.

14. Passport, Visa & Entry Requirements

Travelers are responsible for:

• Valid passport
• Visa requirements
• Entry documentation
• Compliance with health and vaccination requirements

Passports are required for this tour at your expense. Certain countries require that your passport be valid at least 6 months beyond the dates of your travel. You are strongly urged to contact the appropriate consulate for details. IMPORTANT: We recommend that travelers take a photocopy of their passport and applicable visas. It should be packed separately from your actual passport and visa. We also recommend leaving a copy at home with your emergency contact.

CTS accepts no responsibility for denied entry due to documentation issues.

15. On-Tour Communication

If you experience any issue during the tour, please promptly notify April Calahan, Cassidy Zachary or designated agent of Dressed Media, LLC while the tour is in progress. This allows concerns to be addressed quickly in coordination with Creative Travel Services and any relevant suppliers. 

If a matter cannot be resolved during the tour, you must submit your issue in writing to Creative Travel Services within 28 days of returning home, including full details and supporting documentation.

Failure to notify the hosts during the tour may limit our ability to investigate or resolve the matter and may affect any potential claim.

While in Paris, we will use a group WhatsApp chat to coordinate as needed. Please have the WhatsApp application installed on your phone two-weeks prior to the tour start date.

16. Photography & Media

CTS and the tour hosts may photograph or film during the tour for promotional purposes.

If you do not wish to appear in promotional materials, you must notify CTS in writing prior to departure.

17. Hotel Info, Arrival Suggestions and Pre-Post Tour Arrangements 

Flight Suggestions: We recommend flying into Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Orly (ORY) airports. Taxis and car services are the recommended method to get to the hotel.  Official Paris taxis from CDG to the hotel are a flat rate of 56 Euro and from Orly 45 Euro.

Many travelers prefer to fly to Paris a day before the tour starts to rest off the jet lag. If you require extra nights in Paris before or after our tour dates, please email info@creative-travel-services.com for assistance. Additional nights at Crowne Plaza Republique Paris before or after the tour are not guaranteed and are subject to availability. 

Check in: 

Check-in at the hotels is normally 2:00pm. The hotels will try to accommodate earlier arrivals, but this is not guaranteed. 

18. Additional Details

Regarding group meals, please alert tour managers in advance of any serious food allergies. 

We will do our best to accommodate dietary preferences and allergies but cannot guarantee selections to fit all allergies/preferences.

Please note: The itinerary is subject to minor change. All visits are subject to availability and reasonable substitutions will be made in case of unavoidable closures by cultural institutions.

Any dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
