Cancellation & Refund Policy

Draft — not yet complete. Fields shown in [BRACKETS] are placeholders and must be replaced with verified information before this policy is relied upon for bookings or submitted to a payment processor for merchant account review.

Last updated: [DATE]

This policy explains how cancellations, refunds, and trip disruptions are handled for all bookings made through travelglobeusa.co.in, operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME].

Cancellation Fee Schedule

Notice Before Departure Refund Amount
30+ days 90% refund (10% administrative/banking fee deducted)
15–29 days 50% refund
7–14 days 25% refund
Under 7 days / no-show 0% — non-refundable

Note: Any non-refundable third-party costs already paid on your behalf — such as flights, tatkal/rail bookings, national park or safari permits, and similar pre-paid supplier costs — are deducted from the total booking value before the applicable percentage above is calculated.

How to Cancel

Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing by email to [CANCELLATION/SUPPORT EMAIL ADDRESS]. Phone or verbal cancellation requests are not accepted for processing. The effective cancellation date is the date we receive your written request — not the date the trip was originally booked.

Refund Processing

  • Approved refunds are processed within 7–14 business days of written confirmation.
  • Refunds are returned to the original payment method used at booking.
  • Payment gateway fees and banking convenience charges, where applied, are non-refundable and will be deducted from the refunded amount.

Force Majeure

If a trip is disrupted or cannot proceed due to natural disasters, extreme weather, pandemic-related restrictions, strikes, political unrest, or government travel restrictions:

  • We are not able to guarantee a full cash refund, since many of our suppliers (hotels, airlines, permit authorities, ground operators) apply their own non-refundable terms that are outside our control.
  • Where value can be recovered from suppliers, we will offer, at our discretion, either a credit shell (valid for 12 months from the date of issue, redeemable against a future booking) or a cash refund net of non-recoverable third-party costs.
  • Any additional costs a Traveler incurs as a result of a force majeure event (e.g. emergency accommodation, rebooked flights) are the Traveler’s own responsibility unless we agree otherwise in writing.

Non-Refundable Items

Regardless of notice period, the following are generally non-refundable once booked, as our suppliers do not refund them to us:

  • Domestic and international flights
  • Government permits and park/safari entry fees
  • Non-refundable hotel deposits during high-peak season, where specified at time of booking
  • Any other cost explicitly marked “non-refundable” on your booking confirmation
