What’s Included In Your Trip
All tours are subject to the specific inclusions and exclusions as explicitly outlined in your itinerary. Subject to the foregoing, tours generally include:
Accommodations
Accommodations are provided as detailed in your itinerary. Special requests such as single rooms, lower floors, connecting rooms and smoking preference, must be made at the time of booking (as may not be available). While we will make reasonable efforts to communicate your requests to the Supplier, such requests are not guaranteed and are at the discretion of the Supplier. There may be additional charges for such requests which will be solely the expense of the guest making the request.
Travelers participating in our international tours should be aware that room sizes, standards and facilities can vary regionally and are often different from standards in the United States. This can include difference in bed sizes and room sizes, bathroom amenities, amenities such as air-conditioning and compliance with other standards such as Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and wheelchair accessibility. One of the joys of international travel is experiencing different cultures and different ways of life so we hope that you will accept these differences with grace and a sense of adventure.
Morocco Bahja Tours reserves the right, if necessary, to substitute other similar accommodations for accommodations listed on your itinerary. Such substitutions may be made at any time and without prior notice. We cannot be held responsible for over-bookings; should such occur, we will undertake to find similar accommodations in the same area.
Such substitutions are at Morocco Bahja Tours’ sole discretion, and no refunds will be offered for changes in accommodations. While we exercise due diligence in the selection of our partners, and several are based on our own personal experiences, some hotel and other accommodation profiles are based on information provided to us by the
Supplier. This includes images and descriptions of the properties and rooms. Additionally, travelers should be aware that star ratings or similar systems are based on country classifications and therefore can differ. While Morocco Bahja Tours does its best to maintain current and accurate information regarding these Suppliers, we cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in Supplier descriptions, amenities, or images.

Changes to Itineraries
Morocco Bahja Tours reserves the right to make changes to its published itineraries which we deem insignificant and are due to reasons beyond our control. In such cases, we will arrange for the substitution of comparable services. While no changes are anticipated, there may be occasions when certain alterations become necessary. These can be due to religious holidays, national celebrations, or unforeseen events including weather, governmental closures, acts of God, or any other reason. Morocco Bahja Tours reserves the right to change the itinerary due to such unforeseen circumstances or emergencies. Additionally, sites undergo renovations from time to time which can obscure viewing or otherwise change the nature of visiting these sites. No trips will be cancelled due to renovations, although Morocco Bahja Tours may choose to amend itineraries for such sites. These changes will not be considered a material change and will not be considered cause for cancellation by the guest.
If we suggest alternate activities in place of a planned stop or in case of leisure time, such suggestions do not constitute our endorsement. In such a case you will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Supplier of the activity and your only recourse in case of damage will be against the Supplier of the alternate activity.

Our tours are based on a minimum number of participants. Morocco Bahja Tours makes every effort to ensure that trips meet their minimum requirements. However, if the trip drops below the minimum number of participants cancellation of the trip may occur at the sole discretion of Morocco Bahja Tours. In such case, guests will be advised within 45 days prior to departure and said tour will be cancelled and a refund, minus the NON-REFUNDABLE administrative fee, will be provided. Further, Morocco Bahja Tours strongly recommends travelers do not purchase airfare until Morocco Bahja Tours confirms the trip with the minimum required number of travelers in the group.

FORCE MAJEURE.

TRAVEL PROTECTION INSURANCE. Travel Protection Coverage is NOT included in the cost of your trip. It is the traveler’s responsibility to protect their purchases. For this reason, Travel Protection/Insurance Coverage is strongly recommended, and such plans should cover Trip Cancellation or Interruption, Medical Expense, Emergency Evacuation/Repatriation, and Baggage insurance. Travel protection plans can help protect you in the event of loss of NON-REFUNDABLE trip deposits and payments that result from cancellation or trip interruption (due to a covered reason such as injury or illness before or during the trip). It also helps with reimbursement for medical emergency costs (including very costly medical evacuation and repatriation costs), missed connections and baggage delay/loss. Travel protection/insurance plans, which may include Cancel For Any Reason coverage, typically must be purchased within ten (10) days of initial trip payment in order to qualify for a pre-existing condition waiver.
While Morocco Bahja Tours may recommend travel insurance options to choose from, we are not liable for any situation resulting from said options. Morocco Bahja Tours is not qualified to answer technical questions about the benefits, exclusions, and conditions of travel insurance plans and as such we cannot evaluate the adequacy of the prospective insured’s existing insurance coverage. Please note any and all cancellation fees will not be accepted as part of your claim If you have any questions about your travel protection, please call your insurer or insurance agent or broker.
Certain countries have a requirement for foreign visitors to have valid medical insurance on entry. Morocco Bahja Tours cannot be held responsible for denied entry if a traveler is unable to provide details to authorities of insurance or denial of entry for any reason. Declining to purchase an adequate travel protection plan could result in the loss of your travel cost and/or require more money to correct the situation. You also acknowledge that without this coverage, there may be no way to recoup any losses, costs or expenses incurred.
BY DECLINING TO PURCHASE TRAVEL INSURANCE, TRAVELER ACKNOWLEDGES THE AFOREMENTIONED RISKS ABOVE. FURTHER, IF YOU CHOOSE TO TRAVEL WITHOUT ADEQUATE INSURANCE COVERAGE, MOROCCO BAHJA TOURS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY OF YOUR LOSSES HOWSOEVER ARISING, FOR WHICH TRIP PROTECTION PLAN COVERAGE WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE
DESTINATIONS AND DOCUMENTATION. Travel to certain destinations may involve greater risk than others.

In some countries you may be subject to entry (reciprocity) fees and/or departure taxes/ exit fees which will be collected at the airports upon entry/departure by local government authorities. Morocco Bahja Tours strongly recommends that you take into account that certain countries will not admit a passenger if their passport expires within six (6) months of the date of entry. Many countries require a minimum number of blank pages in your passport book. Non-USA citizens may require additional documentation. Children and infants also require all such travel documents. Minors traveling with one parent, and/or without both parents, may be stopped and not admitted, unless authenticated and verified consent forms are provided to the authorities.

YOUR BEHAVIOR. Each traveler in any trip planned by Morocco Bahja Tours is expected to act responsibly and adhere to all behavior guidelines established by Morocco Bahja Tours and our Suppliers. Morocco Bahja Tours and all Suppliers reserve the right to remove you from any facility, hotel or resort property, trip location or means of transportation if your health or your conduct appears to endanger yourself or others, disrupts the general well-being of
other individuals on any element of your trip, or interferes with the operation or security of the places we visit. In any such case, there will be no refund.
You acknowledge and agree to follow and abide by any and all laws and regulations of any state and/or country you enter while participating in the trip and as such, when you book with Morocco Bahja Tours, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or anyone traveling with you, including without limitation, in connection with any violation of applicable state and/or country laws, regulations and/or policies. Full payment for any such damage or loss (reasonably estimated if not precisely known) must be paid directly at the time by the traveler to the accommodation owner or manager or other Supplier, or to Morocco Bahja Tours, if, for whatever reason, Morocco Bahja Tours had to make payment for said damages which traveler is solely liable for. Further, you must indemnify us for the full amount of any claim (also including legal costs) made against us. We are not responsible for any costs incurred concerning a guest removed from a trip, or any portion of a trip. You further agree not to hold Morocco Bahja Tours or any of its Representatives liable for any actions taken under these Terms and Conditions.
While all local and national laws and regulations are important to follow, we strictly encourage you to be informed concerning the applicable laws, regulations or policies, including the use and/or possession of illegal substances at the location of your travel (e.g., marijuana). There will be no tolerance for any use or possession of any drug and your failure to strictly comply with this requirement will result in a breach of these Terms and Conditions and may prevent you from your continued participation. We require responsible alcohol consumption for your safety and for those around you. If you are asked to leave a trip for inappropriate behavior, violence, or any other disruptive action, you will not be refunded.
For tours that include a visit to a religious site or place of worship such as a mosque, travelers who choose to participate will be expected to respect and follow the visitor etiquette guidelines which may include, but are not limited to, wearing appropriate clothing and adhering to modest dress standards, following protocols for entering/exiting building and exhibiting acceptable and non-offensive behavior while worship is in progress. Travelers who do not comply with these visitor guidelines will be politely asked to leave the place of worship. For those travelers who choose not to participate in this part of the trip, it is with the understanding that there will be no refunds for not participating.
For tours that include hands-on and/or demonstration style cooking lessons, you will be required to adhere to any and all proper safety protocols as set forth by our Supplier’s staff to prevent any injuries relating to, but not limited to, exposure to open flames, high temperature equipment and sharp cooking materials. We are not liable for any medical or other costs in connection with injuries to you or caused by you.
HEALTH/PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS/PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES. Each tour is assigned an Activity Level as described within the tour itinerary. By booking, you confirm that you have reviewed the designated Activity Level for your tour and that you are able to meet these requirements without assistance. Further, by booking a tour with us, you acknowledge that you have undergone a physical examination and either received a doctor's approval to participate or chosen to participate without a physician's consent. If you are unable to complete any part of the tour due to a physical or mental inability to keep up with the group of participants, there shall be NO refunds owed.
The nature of some of the destinations we travel to means that in some cases they may be unsuitable for those who use a wheelchair or have a lack of mobility. However, we will be delighted to discuss the feasibility of your participation in any of our trips. It is essential that you advise us before booking if you do have any disability or pre-existing medical condition which may affect your ability to do so, or if you have any special requirements as a result of any disability or medical condition (including any which affect the booking process) so that we can assist you in considering the suitability of the arrangements and/or in making the booking. Morocco Bahja Tours will communicate requests to Suppliers but cannot be responsible if Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accommodations are not available. Any accommodations provided will be at the sole expense of the traveler requiring the accommodation. Please note that accommodations outside of the USA may not be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and may not have wheelchair accessibility. Our Suppliers are, unfortunately, unable to offer additional assistance to travelers with limited mobility and all such assistance will need to be provided by whoever the traveler is traveling with. Travelers with disabilities must notify Morocco Bahja Tours at the time of booking of status and of the identity of their non-discounted, paid travel companion who will be responsible for providing all necessary assistance.
If you are pregnant or expecting at or around the time of your planned travels, please inform us prior to booking. Some Suppliers will not permit travel past certain gestational periods for your safety and the safety of your child/ren. If you become pregnant after booking with us, please consult with a doctor and review the Supplier terms and conditions as they relate to your booking to determine whether you will be permitted or prevented from traveling. If you are denied boarding embarkation, or access to a Supplier due to a pregnancy, or physical or mental disability, Morocco Bahja Tours shall not be liable for any losses, expenses, or refunds resulting from such loss in access for you or anyone in your group. For the safety of our guests, Morocco Bahja Tours reserves the right to request health information prior to travel and to exclude any participants it deems unfit for travel at its sole discretion.
PHOTOGRAPHIC/VIDEO LIKENESS AND FEEDBACK. Traveler hereby gives consent and grants to Morocco Bahja Tours a royalty-free, perpetual, and irrevocable license to publish any testimonials, reviews, photographs and/or videos of the trip or traveler in any form of media without obtaining further consent and without compensation, solely for the purposes of marketing our trips. Each traveler releases Morocco Bahja Tours and its Representatives from any liability in connection with any use of such forms of media. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a traveler desires to have a specific photo or video or any image of themselves removed from our website or social media, please request said removal per email below.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER/LIMITATION OF DAMAGES/NOTICE OF CLAIM. You agree that you will only bring claims against Morocco Bahja Tours in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Morocco Bahja Tours shall not in any case be liable for other than compensatory damages, and your payment of a deposit on a trip means that you agree to these conditions of sale and expressly waive any right to punitive damages. You understand and agree that no claims will be considered and that you will not bring suit against Morocco Bahja Tours unless you have first provided a written notice of claim to Morocco Bahja Tours within thirty (30) days after the trip or cancellation of the trip, further provided that you agree to file suit within one (1) year of the incident and you acknowledge that this expressly limits the applicable statute of limitations to one (1) year. Any claims not submitted and received within this time shall be deemed irrevocably waived and barred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Morocco Bahja Tours’ liability to you (or any member of your traveling party, or your/their heirs, successors and assigns), from any cause of action (whether in contract, tort, indemnity, equity, or otherwise), exceed the amounts paid to Morocco Bahja Tours for the services Morocco Bahja Tours performed and provided to you in connection with these Terms and Conditions, and this is your sole and exclusive remedy for a breach of these Terms and Conditions by Morocco Bahja Tours.
GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE. These Terms and Conditions and all attachments hereto and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California exclusive of conflict or choice of law rules. Any claims shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in San Diego County in the State of California.

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and Conditions and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Failure by us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these legally binding Terms and Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms and Conditions shall not be construed against the drafting party. The provisions of these Terms and Conditions, which by their nature extend beyond termination or expiration of these Terms and Conditions (whether by operation of law or otherwise) shall survive the expiration or termination of these Terms and Conditions to the full extent necessary for their enforcement and for the protection of the party in whose favor they operate. These Terms and Conditions shall be written in, and all other communication under or in connection with these Terms and Conditions shall be in, the English language. Any translation into any other language shall not be an official version thereof, and in the event of any conflict in the interpretation between the English version and such translation, the English version shall control.
