Terms of Use
By using this website you are agreeing to our Terms of Use in full.
Our Service
At Expedition Painter, our aim is to provide you with outstanding painting-expedition recommendations with accompanying advice on travel operators and accommodation providers around the world, which each in their own way contributes to your optimum vacation, the conservation of the environment, the preservation of local cultures and to the economies of the local communities.
Our Artists/teachers
Our Artist/Teachers are chosen for their outstanding artistic expertise, their on-the-ground contacts/experience in their designated countries and their professional reliability. When you reserve a space on their expedition you are paying for their plein air tuition services and their pre-trip concierge expertise that will allow you to make the best choices in travel services and accommodation to/at the destination country. When you reserve a place on an expedition you do so with the intent of attending which in turn removes that place from the limited numbers available, therefore your reservation fee is non-refundable and by using this site you are agreeing to these limitations in full.
Buyer Protection
In the extremely unlikely event that our chosen Artist/Teacher ceases to work and therefore cancels your booking and they are unable to refund to you the monies you have already paid to them then, subject to our policy, Expedition Painter will refund you.
If you wish to make any alterations or cancel your reservation then you are subject to the aforementioned cancellation terms.
For all of other travel and accommodation service providers, we do not endeavor to sell their travel services and accommodations directly to you: it is our belief that this is best done by the people who design and operate these services, as they are the experts and it is important for you to get just the travel/accommodation you want, so we refer you directly to them – this is our Artist’s concierge service and we do not try to be or claim to be an agent for these providers or an operator of these vacations.
Liabilities for referral service
Because of the service we provide in this instance and how we provide it, it is important for you to understand the limitations of our liability, so we have detailed these below and by reading these or using the site you are agreeing to these limitations in full and you also are agreeing to accept the application of United States law to govern any matters that may arise between Expedition Painter and yourself.
a) Your expedition
For expeditions we simply act as a referrer. We are not and do not act as a tour operator, travel arranger or organizer or as an agent for travel service operators and accommodation owners. We make information about the operators and organizers available to you so that you can choose who you book with so that you can liaise directly with them to book your perfect trip. We do not take your money on their behalf or act as go between in any issues relating to your expedition. Your contract will be with them and them only and they are fully liable for every aspect of their travel/accommodation product that you buy, according to their own terms and conditions. So we strongly urge you to check these carefully in full before you book.
b) Your expedition protection
We provide information about overseas travel operators and accommodation providers who we have worked with closely to ensure that they provide their travel services and/or accommodation in a way that fits with safe responsible tourism. As the protection of customers, and monies paid to those holiday companies, are different in each country we strongly encourage you to inquire about how your money is protected directly with the company you are booking with, and in any event take out personal travel insurance. When booking hotels and accommodation it is usual to pay after the completion of your stay. Payment via a credit card is often a good option as this may offer additional financial protection.
Expedition Painter does not accept any liability for, or warrant the quality and/or standard of any of the travel services or accommodations that you are sold by your chosen providers. And specifically, as mentioned above, Expedition Painter makes every effort to ensure that the travel and accommodation providers recommended to you comply with certain standards, but Expedition Painter is not liable in any way for the way these providers actually deliver your travel or accommodation services to you and this is governed solely by your contract with that specific provider. Without limiting this general statement, Expedition Painter is not liable for any injury and/or damage to persons or property occurring during or as a result of any travel service or accommodation stay taken as a result of using this website.
c) Service provider responsible practices
Expeditions are made available on our website by many travel operators and accommodation owners around the world, who we vet by their ability to fulfill a set of criteria, developed by us in accordance with leading worldwide tourism practices and using the experience of our own highly qualified personnel.
Again we do our best to ensure that all the travel and accommodation service providers abide by the policies that they claim to follow, but we are not able to guarantee they do at all times. If we are alerted to bad practice by any of our travel operators and accommodation providers we will immediately investigate the matter and take appropriate action in advising them to correct the issues or cease to be recommended for their services.
d) Information on the site
We also rely on the information about our providers as supplied by them including all words, content and imagery supplied by the travel operators and accommodation providers we recommend via our site. We're not able to assume responsibility for this information and we have to disclaim all liability in respect of such information. Please check the information fully with the provider before you make any booking with them including details of the proposed holiday/accommodation and please note that prices quoted by the provider are relevant at the time of booking with them.
Expedition Painter is not liable for any injury and/or damage to persons or property caused by any actual or alleged libelous statements, infringements of intellectual property or privacy rights, or product liability, whether resulting from negligence or otherwise, including without limitation, from any use or operation of any ideas, instructions, procedures, products or methods contained in the material published on the site. Expedition Painter is also not liable for any copyright infringements.
Recommendations
All recommendations by Expedition Painter regarding trips, properties and/or destinations are intended for the purpose of information and guidance only and all details should be checked with the relavant provider before you make a booking with them. Whilst we may help recommend some services for a specific person e.g. disabled, none of the trips or properties is guaranteed as fully suitable for that purpose e.g. fully disabled safe, by Expedition Painter.
