On certain dates some attractions or activities may be closed. Should WorldStrides be required to or elect to change or even eliminate individual program components, either prior to or during the program, refunds will be given solely at WorldStrides’ discretion. WorldStrides at its sole discretion may cancel a program due to insufficient enrollment, unforeseen operational difficulties, lack of projected availability, or any other reasons at any time.

Any dispute concerning this contract, the Terms & Conditions and/or rules and regulations concerning the trip, the literature arising out of or relating to the trip and/or arising out of or relating to the trip itself including, but not limited to, any events and circumstances occurring during the trip, shall be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration in Charlottesville, Virginia pursuant to the then existent commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association. In any such arbitration, the substantive (but not procedural) law of the Commonwealth of Virginia shall apply. The arbitrator and not any federal, state, or local court or agency shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, conscionability, or formation of this contract, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this contract is void or voidable. In any such arbitration, the arbitrator may, but is not required to, award attorney’s fees to the prevailing party. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally expressly submits to the foregoing binding arbitration agreed for the purposes of dispute resolution hereunder and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives any and all jurisdictional, venue and convenience objections or defenses to such arbitration or to any related action, suit or proceeding in the courts of Virginia to enforce this Agreement to arbitrate or any award rendered therefrom.

Failure to do so or failure to attend events may result in removal from the program without receipt of stipend. Chaperone agrees to provide information required and agrees to comply with the mandatory background check process (and/or other checks) performed for all Chaperones.

10. Behavior Code and Rules and Regulations: The WorldStrides program you have elected to attend offers many unique opportunities and experiences. In order to gain maximum benefit for yourself and the students, you agree to Chaperone in an environment of safety and respect, you agree to review the Behavior Code and Rules and Regulations, and acknowledge and understand that both the Code and the Rules establish a minimum set of requirements which may be added to before and/or during the tour by WorldStrides. You agree that you will review these requirements with the Participant(s) you are Chaperoning, you agree to enforce them among all Participant(s), and you agree to assure their thorough understanding of them and agreement to abide by them prior to travel.

We at the Series promote a program atmosphere where Chaperones and students support one another with genuine respect. As a Chaperone, it is your responsibility to help make the program a positive and enjoyable experience for yourself, fellow Chaperones, conductors, Participants, and staff. All Participants are expected to demonstrate high standards of conduct and to accept personal responsibility and consequences for their actions. You are expected to exhibit honesty, courtesy, and consideration toward others. This includes those Participants in your assigned group, as well as anyone else with whom you may come in contact, such as bus drivers, guides, restaurant, and hotel staff, and other guests at venues where you will be visiting or staying.

We require your cooperation and commitment to the following behavior standards to help us meet this goal. We expect the Chaperone to obey the directions, the Behavior Code, the Rules and Regulations, and the rules and regulations established by the Series staff, both prior to and during the program. All program Participants will be responsible for their own actions at all times and Chaperones are responsible for the actions of all Participants in their group.

The rules for the program include a zero tolerance for the following, which constitute grounds for immediate expulsion:

Alcohol and Tobacco – No use of tobacco or non-prescription drugs is allowed. No consumption of alcoholic beverages is allowed.

Drugs – All illegal drug use is strictly prohibited.

Arrests – Series Participants arrested by authorities are not the responsibility of WorldStrides. If arrested, the Participant may be subject to prosecution by local law enforcement authorities and must understand that WorldStrides has no obligation to defend him/her in such proceedings. It is the Participant’s responsibility to inform family members of the phone number and address of the appropriate law enforcement agency to contact.

Established Rules – The Participant shall comply with all rules and regulations of the various governmental agencies and third party vendors such as airlines, hotels, bus companies, etc. The Participant shall respect and follow the directions of the Chaperones and WorldStrides staff. The use of hotel facilities carries with it the responsibility of leaving them in the same conditions in which they were found. The Participant is responsible for any damage.

Room Assignments – Quiet hours at the hotel will be observed from 11:00PM until 5:00AM. Curfew at the hotel is 11:00PM (or 30 minutes after the conclusion of the evening’s last scheduled activity, whichever is earlier). Students must remain in their rooms until the start of the following day’s activities. Students may not leave the group at any time unless specifically authorized to do so by the Chaperones. The student must sleep in his/her assigned hotel room each night.

Miscellaneous – Good common sense, respect, and consideration for others and their property should be practiced daily. The Participant is solely responsible for keeping safe possession of his/her passport, as applicable, and other travel tickets and documents.

If the student or Participant should violate any of these rules, he/she may be sent home at the sole discretion of the Chaperones, the Director, or WorldStrides. In such cases, the parent/guardian will be contacted and the student sent home at the parent’s expense with no refund from WorldStrides.

11. Cancellation: In the event that the Chaperone requests and makes any payments to WorldStrides for on-program optional expenses (such as single room upgrades, etc.) the following shall apply in the event of cancellation by the Chaperone:

In the event the Chaperone must cancel, the cancellation must be made in writing by the Chaperone and sent to the Honors Performance Series at honors@honorsperformance.org. The written cancellation must be postmarked prior to the Series program commencement. Upon such a cancellation, the Chaperone shall not be entitled to a refund for any additional services requested (i.e. a hotel room upgrade).

12. Cancellation by a Supplier: (For California residents only) 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 WorldStrides for services not received by you will be promptly refunded by WorldStrides to you unless you otherwise advise WorldStrides in writing. Registration as a seller of travel does not constitute approval by the state of California. WorldStrides’ principal office is located in Virginia. 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 WorldStrides’ default. (For Washington State residents only) If transportation or other services are canceled by WorldStrides, all sums paid to WorldStrides for services not performed in accordance with the contract between WorldStrides and the consumer will be refunded within 30 days of receiving funds from the supplier with whom the services were arranged, or if the funds were not sent to the supplier, the funds shall be returned within fourteen days after cancellation by WorldStrides to the consumer unless the consumer requests WorldStrides apply the money to another travel product and/or date.
