B. SJ-TOURS.COM MARKETPLACE SERVICES
12. Insurance. You may incur problems on your trip that SJ-Tours cannot be held responsible for, but which
you can be insured against. SJ-Tours strongly advises that you purchase travel insurance to provide
adequate coverage for cancelation or curtailment of your trip, loss of baggage, medical expenses, and
personal accident. Coverage of insurance has exclusions and SJ-Tours will assume no legal responsibility
for your failure to acquire adequate insurance coverage.
13. Medical. You are responsible for advising SJ-Tours of any medical conditions that may in any way affect
your ability to undertake the travel arrangements that you have purchased. In the event you have notified
S&J Tours of such medical condition, you must provide a letter from your doctor stating the nature of the
medical condition and certifying that you are physically fit to undertake the travel arrangements as
purchased with or without any reasonable accommodations that can be provided. Regardless, S&J Tours
is not responsible for any medical emergency or issue.
14. Responsibility. SJ-Tours does its best to ensure your travel arrangements are satisfactory, However, SJTours and its employees, shareholders, subsidiaries, affiliates officers, directors, successors, agents, and
assigns do not own or operate each and every entity which provides goods and services for your travel
including without limitation, lodging facilities, airline, vessel, motor coach, or other transportation
companies, guides or guide services, local ground operators, providers or organizers of optional
excursions, food service providers, etc. All such persons and entities are independent contracts and are no
way affiliated with SJ-Tours.
SJ-Tours purchases transportation, hotel accommodations, restaurant services, and other services from
various independent suppliers that are not subject to its control. SJ-Tours cannot, therefore, be liable for any
personal injury or property damage, or any other special, consequential or incidental damages that may
occur due to (a) intentional, wrongful, negligent, or arbitrary acts or omissions on the part of a supplier, its
employees and others not under the direct control of SJ-Tours, or (b) defects or failures of any aircraft,
vessel, automotive vehicle or other equipment or instrumentality under the control of independent suppliers.
In addition, SJ-Tours cannot be liable for delays in departure or interruption of your vacation arrangements
caused by weather conditions, technical problems of any aircraft, vessel, automotive vehicle or other
equipment or instrumentality, strikes, war, terrorist activity, civil commotion, or any causes beyond the
control of SJ-Tours. In no event will SJ-Tours be responsible for incidental, consequential or special or
incidental damage or loss suffered by any person. SJ-Tours’ maximum liability, for any reason whatsoever,
will be limited to the amount paid to SJ-Tours for its services. In issuing tickets and coupons for
transportation of the purchaser by any means, and making arrangements for hotel or other accommodation,
SJ-Tours is not acting as principal but only as agent for the companies, corporations or persons providing or
offering the means of transportation and accommodation. To the extent SJ-Tours shall not be acting as an
agent, as stated above, it shall be deemed to be acting as an agent of the purchasers in arranging or
booking transportation and accommodation. Airlines and other transportation providers (e.g., motor coach
operators) are not liable for any detention, delays, loss, damage, sickness or injury, however or by
whomever caused, during the time passengers are not on board their planes or conveyances. The contract
of carriage used by such transportation providers when issued shall constitute the sole contract between the
transportation providers and the purchaser of these vacation arrangements.
15. Liability. SJ-Tours is not liable for any negligent or willful act or failure to act of any travel service provider
or of any third party. In addition and without limitation, SJ-Tours is not responsible for any injury, loss,
death, inconvenience, delay, or damage to person or property in connection with the provision of any goods
or services whether resulting from, but not limited to, acts of God or force majeure, illness, disease, acts of
war or civil unrest, insurrection or revolt, animals, strikes or other labor activities, criminal or terrorist
activities of any kind, overbooking or downgrading of accommodations, mechanical or other failure of
airplanes or other means of transportation, or for any failure of any transportation mechanism to arrive or
depart on time. Also be advised that certain foreign facilities such as air-conditioning systems in public
places, hotels and motor coaches may not be up to U.S. standards. If due to weather, flight schedules or
other uncontrollable factors you are required to spend additional night(s), you will be responsible for your
own hotel, transfers and meal costs. Baggage is entirely at owner’s risk. You may see the name SJ-Tours
on signs around a hotel or elsewhere. This use of our name is purely for reasons of identification and does
not denote ownership, supervision, or control by SJ-Tours in any way.
16. Refusal of Service. Service providers reserve the right to refuse service to travelers at their sole discretion
and including without limitation if the traveler (i) Lacks proper documentation for the country of destination;
(ii) Has a contagious disease; or is under the influence of alcohol, drugs or narcotics; and/or (iii) Manifests
disruptive and/or unruly behavior. SJ-Tours assumes no liability for the acts of the service provider in
refusing service.

22. CST #2142597-40. Registration as a seller of travel does not constitute approval by the State of California.
The following and the conditions on our brochures are our conditions upon which the contract between us,
the seller of travel services, and the passengers may be canceled. Upon cancellation of the transportation
or travel services, where you, the customer, are not at fault and have not canceled in violation of the terms
and conditions, if any, of the contract for transportation or travel services, all sums paid to S&J Tours for
services not received by you will be promptly refunded by S&J Tours to you unless you otherwise advise
S&J Tours in writing. California law requires that the following statement be made to customers located
outside of California at the time of purchase: “This transaction is not covered by the California Travel
Consumer Restitution Fund. You are not eligible to file a claim against that Fund in the event of SJ-Tours’
default.” We are required under California law to advise you of the following: For passengers located in
California only, in the event of SJ-Tours’ default, you may be eligible for a refund of up to US $15,000 from
the California Travel Consumer Restitution Fund. If you were located in California at the time of your
purchase, you have a right to make a claim against the fund for a refund of any money paid to SJ-Tours
that is due because of SJ-Tours’ bankruptcy, insolvency, cessation of operations, or material failure to
provide the transportation or travel services sold. The claim must be filed within six months after the
completion date of your travel. For a claim form and additional information, write to: Travel Consumer
Restitution Corporation P.O. Box 6001, Larkspur, CA 94977.
