Terms of Service

This Agreement sets out the terms and conditions between Holidays Points and users who use our services to purchase tours and travel services (“You”) from individuals who provide tours and travel-related services ( “Tourist guides, rentals, and activities”). This agreement explains how you purchase tours and travel services and specifically limits Holidays Points’ liability.

You must read this agreement before using the site and booking a tour, activity or any rental. Use of the site constitutes agreement to all of the terms and conditions of this agreement and you warrant that you understand, accept, and agree to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.

Information collected by Holidays Points
Holidays Points collects two types of information about you: personal information (such as name and email address) and aggregate information (such as information about the number of users visiting our site).

Holidays Points connects you with tour guides who are looking to provide tours, activities, or rentals. We do this through our website, HolidaysPoints.com (“Site”), which is a communications and payment processing system that connects you and the services providers.

You understand that the tour and activity guides and rental owners presented on the site are independent contractors and that they are not employees or agents of Holidays Points. You expressly understand and agree that Holidays Points does not control the quality, timing, legality or any other aspect whatsoever of the services actually provided by the tour /activity guides and rental owners, nor the integrity, liability or any of the actions whatsoever.

Holidays Points does its best to monitor the contractor’s profiles (tour guides, activity organizers, and rental owners), service offerings, actions, and reviews, and suspend the privileges of any tour guide who does not abide by Holidays Points policies. By using this site, you agree to immediately report to Holidays Points any suspected irregularity of any tour guide.

You can request the services of a tourist guide, activity organizer, or rentals using the site. After accepting your service request and your payment has been processed, there is a binding contract between you and the service provider. Once you have purchased a tour or travel service, if there are any service-related issues that cannot be resolved directly with the service provider, you should contact Holidays Points and we will attempt to resolve the issue.

Holidays Points is the official merchant and uses a third-party service to process your credit card information for all transactions made through Holidays Points. We do not store your credit card information on Holidays Points web servers or in paper files. You hereby agree to hold Holidays Points harmless for any damages that may result if personal information about you is disclosed by third parties. For more information regarding this service, please contact Holidays Points’ credit card processing company, PayPal.com.

Any cancellation on your part must be made by phone or e-mail and acknowledged by ToursByLocals. The date the cancellation request is received by ToursByLocals will determine the refund due as follows:

Cancellation 60 days or more prior to departure: Amount paid minus initial charges. These upfront charges are disclosed to you when you use the site to complete the transaction and may represent the personal expenses of the tour guide or other service provider for tickets, transportation deposits, hotel booking, and other incidental expenses.

Cancellation 59 to 31 days before departure: deposit paid or 80% of the trip price if paid in full.

Cancellation less than 30 days before departure: no refund

You are strongly encouraged to take out cancellation insurance. In some circumstances, this will cover the cancellation costs.

In some cases, the guide may cancel a tour due to weather conditions or other circumstances. In the event that the guide cancels the tour or does not deliver it as promised, you can choose between rescheduling the tour/activity OR a full refund of all monies paid or credit for an alternative tour/activity. If you choose to accept a credit, the difference in the cost of the alternative tour/activity will be refunded by Holidays Points or paid by You, as applicable.

Holidays Points is not responsible for any incidental expenses that you may have incurred based on the visit or travel services booked on the site, including, without limitation, expenses resulting from the purchase of visas, vaccinations, non-refundable thefts or any loss of use.

You acknowledge that all travel involves an element of risk and that certain visits offered on the Site may be of an adventurous nature and may involve a significant personal risk. You hereby assume all these risks and You, your estate, your family, your heirs and assigns hereby release Holidays Points and the tourist guide/activity from all claims and causes of action of any nature whatsoever resulting from injury, death or other damages, both pecuniary and non-pecuniary, which may arise as a result of your participation in the tours/activities offered on the site or as a result of the negligence of any party, including the tour guide or any employee, officer, agent, under -treator or agent of Holidays Points, whether such negligence is passive or active.

Before the tour or any other activity starts, the guide may ask you to sign a liability waiver, and you can view a copy of the liability waiver by accessing the following link:

If the signature of the disclaimer is required is revealed when using the site to book the tour.
