Deposits, payments and refunds

• Every trip is booked by application. Nothing is charged until you are approved.
• Once approved, you hold your spot by paying the deposit. For local trips the deposit is $150.
• Spots go in the order deposits are paid. If a trip is full, you can join the waitlist for free.
• Some shorter trips may be paid in full when you book. The trip page says which.

• Local trips: the balance is due 45 days before the trip starts.
• International trips: the balance is due 90 days before the trip starts.
• If the balance is not paid by the due date, we may release your spot to the waitlist. Your deposit is not refunded.

• Deposits are non-refundable. You can transfer your spot to someone who applies and is approved for the same trip. Email us to arrange it.
• Before the balance due date: you forfeit your deposit. Nothing else is owed.
• After the balance due date: payments are not refunded unless we fill your spot from the waitlist, in which case we refund what you paid beyond the deposit.
• No refunds for unused parts of a trip or for leaving early.

• Every trip has a minimum group size, shown on the trip page. If a trip does not reach it, we cancel and refund everything you paid.
• If we cancel a trip for any other reason, including weather or safety, we refund everything you paid.
• We are not responsible for costs you arranged yourself, such as flights, time off or gear. We recommend travel insurance.

We may adjust an itinerary for weather, safety or availability and will tell you as early as we can. A guest who seriously or repeatedly breaks the code of conduct may be removed from the trip. What is refunded in that case is decided case by case.

We recommend travel insurance that covers trip cancellation and medical care, especially for international trips. Always Funday does not sell insurance.

Refunds go back to the original payment method, usually within 5 to 10 business days of our processing them. Questions: hello@alwaysfunday.com.
