ALL PRICES AND CONDITIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.
CLUB SELECT is a group of specific category hotels designed for bargain
shoppers to rake in extra savings! Here’s how it works. Instead of a specific
hotel on sale, CLUB SELECT designates the hotel rating (ie: 4*, 5, or 6*). These are the same quality hotels we
routinely feature with the added benefit of extra savings. Quite often hotels
do not want to be associated with deep discounting in order to maintain brand
integrity. This program allows them to increase hotel occupancy without
forfeiting their reputation. An example of this is the well-known hotel chain
“Superclub Resorts” which designed their outlet for extra discounting through
their “Superclubs Surprise” program where you pay less for a guaranteed
Superclubs resort with the specific resort chosen by them. CLUB SELECT is the
same format. You pay less for the same hotels we regularly use with the
specific hotel selected for you. While discounts are quite attractive with
specific hotels we advertise, when you see CLUB SELECT you can count on extra
savings for the same fine hotels normally found under our hotline specials. End
result: You benefit by paying less for the same quality vacation and the hotels
meet their occupancy levels without sacrificing brand integrity! This program
is quite popular with our repeat hotline vacationers and has been successful
for many years affording so many of our clientele the opportunity for travel
that otherwise might not be possible. So when you see CLUB SELECT you know the
only trade off is extra savings for you!

Your Contract with Apple
Vacations
1.
Bookings and Payments
All that is required
to reserve your vacation is a signed booking form and a deposit of $125 per
person, plus the AV-OK plan payment (if applicable). The balance due must be
paid at least 45 days before departure (for bookings within 45 days of
departure, full payment is due at time of booking). Full payment is required
at time of booking for bookings made directly on our website,
applevacations.com. Bookings for travel Dec. 22 through Dec. 27 will
require payment in full by October 15. For certain holiday departures, full
payment is due 60 days prior to departure. We reserve the right to treat the
booking as cancelled by you if the balance due is not paid on time. For
vacation packages utilizing published airline tickets, a deposit of $125 per
person PLUS full payment of the air portion of the package is required at the
time of guarantee (credit cards only). For vacation packages using contracted
scheduled air, a minimum deposit of $175 per person is required at the time of
booking. Europe vacation packages have special terms and conditions which are
described in the Europe brochure. Please refer to that brochure if you are
purchasing a Europe vacation package.
Apple Vacations reserves the right to issue charter or scheduled airline
tickets once the booking is under applicable deposit.
Late bookings often require us to incur additional costs for faxing, updating
and confirming your hotel accommodations. Therefore, we will charge a late
booking fee of $10 per person, in addition to the normal price on all vacations
booked 14 days or less prior to departure.

all the airlines it uses issue tickets, coupons or electronic documents
covering transportation, hotel accommodations and other services and
facilities. Neither Apple Vacations nor these airlines, or their respective
subagents, shall be held liable for loss or damage to property or injury of
person caused by reason of any defect, negligence, or other wrongful act or
omission by any other hotel agency, transportation company or party providing
such services or facilities, strike, war, terrorism, weather, quarantine,
sickness, government restrictions or regulations, or any other cause beyond its
reasonable control. All airlines concerned are not liable for any claim arising
out of or in connection with carriage or other services or features otherwise
performed or occurring in connection with this package, except as provided in
the conditions of carriage for the airlines and the passenger tickets issued in

from your destination the Conditions of Carriage apply, some of which limit or
exclude liability. The Conditions of Carriage are available by requesting them

cover damage to soft-sided luggage.The airlines' maximum liability for loss, damage
or delay to checked baggage is limited to $2800 per ticketed passenger
domestically and $9.07 per pound up to 44lbs per ticketed passenger for
international travel. These limits will apply unless an excess valuation is
declared at the time of check-in. All lost or damaged luggage must be
reported to an airline representative at the destination airport by the
passenger before you leave the airport. Checked baggage taken from the
terminal building at the destination will be considered to have been received
in good condition and no claim for loss or damage will be accepted after
baggage has been removed from the terminal.

or damaged property is $400. Loss or damage must be reported immediately. Apple

What
We Provide In Return
1. Price Guarantee
Our intention is to
provide you with the vacation which you have selected, at the price in effect
at time of booking. If for any reason we have to increase the price of your
vacation, including an error made in computing your price,we will offer you the
option of cancellation without charge, provided that you advise us within seven
days of your receipt of notice of the increase. This does not apply to price
increases resulting from a change in U.S. or foreign government taxes or fuel
surcharges.
If a scheduled airline initiates a schedule change which results in a fare
increase, the passenger is responsible for the additional cost.
2.
Flight Information
Your travel agent
will be able to confirm the latest flight details at the time you make your
reservation, and these will also appear on the booking confirmation we issue
when we receive your deposit.
Your flight tickets, which we dispatch two to five weeks prior to departure
(except for late bookings), or your electronic documents will contain your
flight information. All times are subject to change. It is your responsibility
to reconfirm your flight times prior to departing for the airport. Apple Vacations
assumes no responsibility for any passengers making independent connections to
our flights.
3.
Amendments & Cancellation
Special features
offered by hotels are subject to change at the hotel's discretion. In the
unlikely event that a major change involving a pre-departure change of hotel,
departure or return date, departure city or destination becomes necessary, we
will notify you as soon as possible. If you find the revised arrangements we
offer unacceptable, you will have the option of cancellation without charge
(less any insurance premium) provided that you notify us within seven days
of your receipt of notice of the change (or prior to departure date if notified
less than seven days prior).
In the event of a change, we will try to substitute comparable services, but in
the event of complete cancellation by us or a supplier, our only liability will
be to refund all monies paid (public charters only) or provide a refund in the
form of an Apple Vacations credit. For charter flights only, if landing rights
are denied by a foreign government, the flight will be cancelled with a full
refund.
If you have purchased a optional tour through us, please note that the
supplier's cancellation provisions only allow a refund if cancelled before noon
the day prior to the excursion. See the excursion company to arrange a refund.
4.
Refunds

you will be made as soon as possible. Please note, however, that no refunds
will be made for any services provided in the itinerary that you do not use.
Passengers who do not travel (charter, land only or scheduled air) are subject
to 100% cancellation penalties.
Insurance premiums are non-refundable and nontransferable. Refunds (if
applicable) for scheduled air programs will only be issued upon the return of the
unused ticket. If you booked your Apple Vacation through a travel agent, all
communications prior to your departure, including payment and refund
transactions, must be via your travel agent.
If for any reason you should lose your scheduled airline ticket, you will
have to purchase a new ticket at your own expense and upon your return
home, you must contact your travel agent to begin refund procedures by
completing a "Lost Ticket Application" (fees may apply). Any refunds
made by the airline will be based on the value of the original ticket issued less
any airline processing fees. In most cases the replacement ticket you have
to purchase will be more expensive.

Apple Vacations has made arrangements with airlines, hotels and other
independent suppliers to provide you with the services you purchase.We have
taken all reasonable steps to ensure that proper arrangements have been made
for your vacation. However, we do not accept and expressly disclaim any
liability for the actions or omissions of these independent suppliers, over
whom we have no direct control. If you find you have any dispute with such
persons, however, we will give you as much reasonable help as we can in
resolving this.
Please understand that we cannot control and will not be responsible for such
factors as weather, government actions, terrorism, mechanical breakdowns, your
physical, medical or mental disabilities, your failure to obtain valid travel
documents or your failure to follow travel instructions.
