To speak with a representative in order to transact with us without providing consent, please call 1-800-935-2620.

Dispute Resolution Provisions: The Agreement shall be treated as though it were executed and performed in Houston, Texas and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas (without regard to conflict of law principles). You hereby agree to arbitrate all claims that may arise under the Agreement that you may have against AffordableTours.com® or any of the Covered Parties, who are express third-party beneficiaries of the mandatory arbitration provision. Without limiting the foregoing, should a dispute arise between you and AffordableTours.com® and/or any Covered Party including, without limitation, any matter concerning the Site Offerings, the terms and conditions of the Agreement or the breach of same by any party hereto: (a) you agree to submit the dispute for resolution by arbitration before the American Arbitration Association in Houston, TX, in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"); and (b) you agree to first commence a formal dispute proceeding by completing and submitting an Initial Dispute Notice which can be found Here. We may choose to provide you with a final written settlement offer after receiving your Initial Dispute Notice ("Final Settlement Offer"). If we provide you with a Final Settlement Offer and you do not accept it, or we cannot otherwise satisfactorily resolve your dispute and you wish to proceed, you must submit your dispute for resolution by arbitration before the AAA, in your county of residence, by filing a separate Demand for Arbitration. For claims of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) or less, you can choose whether the arbitration proceeds in person, by telephone or based only on submissions. If the arbitrator awards you relief that is greater than our Final Settlement Offer, then we will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration and, if you retained an attorney to represent you in connection with the arbitration, we will reimburse any reasonable attorneys’ fees that your attorney accrued for investigating, preparing and pursuing the claim in arbitration. Any award rendered shall be final and conclusive to the parties and a judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Although we may have a right to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses if we prevail in arbitration, we will not seek such an award from you unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree that you will not bring, join or participate in any class action lawsuit and/or class arbitration as to any claim, dispute or controversy that you may have against any Covered Entity and/or AffordableTours.com® (including its employees, officers, directors, members, representatives and/or assigns). You agree to the entry of injunctive relief to stop such a class action lawsuit and/or class arbitration, as applicable, or to remove you as a participant in the suit and/or class arbitration, as applicable. You agree to pay the attorney’s fees and court costs that AffordableTours.com® and/or any Covered Party incurs in seeking such relief. This provision preventing you from bringing, joining or participating in class action lawsuits and/or class arbitrations: (i) does not constitute a waiver of any of your rights or remedies to pursue a claim individually, and not as a class action or class arbitration, in binding arbitration as provided above; and (ii) is an independent agreement. You may opt-out of these dispute resolution provisions by providing written notice of your decision within thirty (30) days of the date that you first access the Site.

Obtaining travel visas, valid passports, vaccines and other health and entry requirements is your sole responsibility. Some countries may require that your passport's expiration date be later than six (6) months after the last date of travel, and some countries may require that you have at least two (2) blank passport pages. Any name change associated with purchased airline tickets may require airline reservations to be cancelled and re-booked, and you agree to be solely responsible for any related expenses if the passenger names given to AffordableTours.com® are incorrect or incomplete.

Travel Packages with airline and cruise components are subject to supplemental price increases that may be imposed by the Third-Party Travel Service Provider(s)and/or local governments after you have completed your purchase. You hereby consent to any such price increases and authorize your credit or debit card to be charged for same without additional authorization.

For Travel Packages that include guided tours, you are also responsible for respecting the authority and following the directions of the tour guides during any tours that you participate in. We, or the applicable Third-Party Travel Service Provider(s) conducting the tours, may exclude you from participating in all or any part of a given tour if, in our and/or the applicable Third-Party Travel Service Provider’s respective sole discretion, your condition or behavior renders you unfit for the tour or unfit for continuation once the tour has begun. Unfitness may include, without limitation, any behavior that, regardless of its cause, is inappropriate or offensive or interferes with the delivery of the subject tour-related services, or that which may constitute a hazard or embarrassment to individuals associated with or participating in the tour, or otherwise. In such case, our liability shall be strictly limited to a refund of the cost of any unused portion of the tour, but solely to the extent that such a refund is recoverable by us from the applicable Third-Party Travel Service Provider(s). Where AffordableTours.com® is unable to recover a refund from the applicable Third-Party Travel Service Provider(s), AffordableTours.com® shall have no liability to you in connection with same. Should you decide not to participate in certain parts of a tour or use certain goods/services included in a tour, no refunds will be made for those unused parts of the subject tour or goods/services. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any and all costs, damages, losses, or liabilities arising out of your or your companions' acts or omissions in connection with any tour or other Travel Package.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past twelve (12) months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable User request, we will disclose to you:

The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
The categories of third parties with whom we have shared that personal information.

Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable User request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our (their) records, unless an exception applies; provided, however, that in some cases, strictly for regulatory compliance purposes and to better evidence/honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests (and for no other purposes), we may retain certain items of your personal information on a de-identified and aggregated basis in such a manner that the data no longer identifies you.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our obligations in connection with our contract with you.
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.

Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).
Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information's deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research's achievement, but only if you previously provided informed consent.
Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with User expectations based on your relationship with us.
Comply with a legal obligation.
Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Exercising Access, Data Portability and Deletion Rights

To exercise your access, data portability and/or deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable User request to us by either:

Calling us at: (800) 935-2620
Emailing us at: [email protected]; or
Sending us U.S. mail to: AffordableTours.com, 11150 Cash Rd., Stafford, TX 77477.

Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable User request related to your personal information.

You may only make a verifiable User request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable User request must:

Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are: (1) the person about whom we collected personal information; or (2) an authorized representative.
Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable User request does not require that you create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable User request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to all verifiable User requests within forty-five (45) days of the receipt thereof. If we require more time (up to ninety (90) days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures that we provide will only cover the twelve (12) month period preceding the receipt of your verifiable request. The response that we provide will also explain the reasons that we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable User request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

Deny you goods or services;
Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties;
Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; and/or
Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

If you have received a CEM from us, it is because: (a) you have previously provided your express consent, as required by CASL; (b) we have your implied consent, strictly as permitted under CASL; or (c) the type of CEM sent is exempt under CASL.

Use and Sharing of Personal Information

Please see our Provisions for California Residents below for details regarding our use and sharing of personal information. Other than as expressly set forth hereunder, AffordableTours.com® will never share, sell, rent, exchange or barter your personal information to or with any third party for financial gain or marketing purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may share your personal information for financial gain: (a) with the applicable Third-Party Travel Service Provider(s) in connection with your Travel Package purchase, request for Price Quotes, use of the Booking Management Services and to otherwise facilitate the provision of the applicable Site Offerings to you; and (b) with the applicable Third-Party Travel Insurance Provider(s) in connection with your Travel Insurance purchase.

Further, by making your personal information available to AffordableTours.com®, you grant AffordableTours.com® the right, subject to applicable law, to use that personal information to contact you regarding your use of the Site Offerings (including to provide you with requested Price Quotes and/or the Newsletter) and/or with information regarding other AffordableTours.com® products and/or services that we think may be of interest to you. If you wish to stop receiving future communications from us, please follow the instructions at the end of each such e-mail message or see the "Opt-Out/Unsubscribe" section below.

Where you submit personal information, we use the personal information that you make available to personalize your experience with the Site and to facilitate the provision of the applicable Site Offerings to you, including in connection with customer service and to otherwise respond to any inquiries made by you.

You also agree that we may contact you at any time with updates and/or any other information that we may deem appropriate for you to receive in connection with your continued use of the Site Offerings.

We may also employ other companies and individuals to perform certain functions on our behalf. Examples include sending direct and electronic mail, removing duplicate information from User lists, analyzing data and providing marketing analysis. The agents performing these limited functions on our behalf shall have access to our Users’ personal information as needed to perform these functions for us, but we do not permit them to use User personal information for other purposes.

We may also use your personal information for internal business purposes, such as analyzing and managing our service offerings including, without limitation, the Site Offerings. We may also combine the information we have gathered about you with information from other sources.

By submitting your personal information by and through the Site Offerings, you agree that such act constitutes an inquiry and/or application for purposes of the Amended Telemarketing Sales Rule (16 CFR §310 et seq.), as amended from time to time (the "Rule") and applicable state do-not-call regulations. As such, notwithstanding that your telephone number may be listed on the Federal Trade Commission’s Do-Not-Call List, and/or on applicable state do-not-call lists, we retain the right to contact you via telemarketing in accordance with the Rule and applicable state do-not-call regulations.

Where you provide "prior express consent" within the meaning of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 USC § 227), and its implementing regulations adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (47 CFR § 64.1200), as amended from time-to-time ("TCPA"), you consent to receive telephone calls from AffordableTours.com®, including artificial voice calls, pre-recorded messages and/or calls (including SMS text messages) delivered via automated technology, to the telephone number(s) that you provided. Please note that you are not required to provide consent under the TCPA in order to obtain access to the Site Offerings, and your consent simply allows AffordableTours.com®, as well as the designated Third-Party Service Providers, to contact you via these means. Please be advised that by agreeing to this Privacy Policy, you are obligated to immediately inform us if and when the telephone number that you have previously provided to us changes. Without limiting the foregoing, if you: (i) have your telephone number reassigned to another person or entity; (ii) give up your telephone number so that it is no longer used by you; (iii) port your telephone number to a landline or vice versa; or (iv) otherwise stop using that telephone number for any reason (collectively "Phone Number Change"), you agree that you shall promptly notify AffordableTours.com® of the Phone Number Change via e-mail at: [email protected], or by using one of the methods set forth in the "Contact Us" section below.

We reserve the right to release current or past personal information (including Sensitive Information and Referral Information): (A) in the event that we believe that the Site Offerings are being or have been used to commit unlawful acts; (B) if the information is subpoenaed or requested pursuant to any court order or legal proceeding; or (C) if we are sold, merge with a third-party, are acquired or are the subject of bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that if AffordableTours.com® is involved in a bankruptcy proceeding, merger, acquisition or sale of all or a portion of its assets, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on the Site of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices that you may have regarding your personal information.

You hereby consent to the disclosure of any record or communication to any third-party when we, in our sole discretion, determine the disclosure to be required by applicable law, including sharing your e-mail address with third-parties for suppression purposes in compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, as amended from time to time, and other e-mail marketing laws.

Security of Your Personal Information

We endeavor to safeguard and protect our Users’ personal information. When Users make personal information available to us, their personal information is protected both online and offline (to the extent that we maintain any personal information offline). Where our registration/application process prompts Users to enter Sensitive Data (such as medical information, driver’s license/ID card number, health insurance information, data collected from an automated license plate recognition system, Social Security Number and credit card information) and when we store and transmit such Sensitive Data, that personal information is encrypted with advanced TLS (Transport Layer Security).

Access to your personal information is strictly limited, and we take reasonable measures to ensure that your personal information is not accessible to the public. All of our Users’ personal information is restricted in our offices, as well as the offices of our third-party service providers. Only employees or third-party agents who need User personal information to perform a specific job are granted access to User personal information. Our employees are dedicated to ensuring the security and privacy of all User personal information. Employees not adhering to our firm policies are subject to disciplinary action. The servers that we store User personal information on are kept in a secure physical environment. We also have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of personal information under our control.

Please be advised, however, that while we take every reasonable precaution available to protect your data, no storage facility, technology, software, security protocols or data transmission over the Internet or via wireless networks can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Computer hackers that circumvent our security measures may gain access to certain portions of your personal information, and technological bugs, errors and glitches may cause inadvertent disclosures of your personal information; provided, however, that any attempt to breach the security of the network, our servers, databases or other hardware or software may constitute a crime punishable by law. For the reasons mentioned above, we cannot warrant that your personal information will be absolutely secure. Any transmission of data at or through the Site, other Site Offerings or otherwise via the Internet or wireless networks, is done at your own risk.

In compliance with applicable federal and state laws, we shall notify you and any applicable regulatory agencies in the event that we learn of an information security breach with respect to your personal information. You will be notified via e-mail in the event of such a breach. Please be advised that notice may be delayed in order to address the needs of law enforcement, determine the scope of network damage, and to engage in remedial measures.

You may make such a request by e-mailing us at: [email protected]. We ask individual Users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes).

Please be advised that deleting your personal information may terminate your access to certain of the Site Offerings. If you wish to continue using the full complement of Site Offerings, you may not be able to delete all of the personal information that we have on file for you.

You will need to contact the third-parties that contact you directly to change your preferences regarding their use of your personal information.

Transfer of Personal Information Internationally

If you are visiting the Site from a country other than the country in which our servers are located, your communications with us may result in the transfer of personal information across international boundaries.
