Paths Less Travelled, Inc.

Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: December 2^nd, 2022

These Tour Conditions outline the terms and conditions associated with acceptance of a tour with Paths Less Travelled, LLC (“PLT”). Purchase of a tour with PLT automatically and, without any variances, explicitly implies complete agreeance and acceptance of these Tour Conditions unless otherwise expressly stated here within these Tour Conditions. 

Please read carefully and reach out to customerservice@pathslesstravelled.com or 855-553-0165 with any questions/concerns or to let us know if there is anything that we can do to be of additional assistance.

Medical Data/Information

• Paths Less Travelled (PLT) and the staff of PLT are not medical professionals and do not claim to be so. They are, in no way, responsible for the transmission, storage, review, or interpretation of medical data and request not to receive any medical data.
  PLT will make introductions to the medical professionals at IVF Zlin.
  The medical professionals at IVF Zlin will be solely for receiving, interpreting, and responding to any medical data that is transferred and will, in no way, communicate any personally identifiable information to PLT or PLT staff, except to let us know the time line and blocks required for their proposed fertility plan so that we can possibly integrate an appropriate tour that might compliment said plan.
  • We are aware that donor egg IVF requires 8 days in Czech Republic and we have already outlined at which times throughout the cycle a patient might need to be at the clinic (as our owners have gone through this process at the same clinic).
• All discussions, recommendations, prescriptions, and general information related to medical care are to be solely discussed between you and the medical professionals at IVF Zlin.
• Any medical information received by PLT and/or its associates will not be responded to and will be deleted.

Guarantees

• Acceptance of services with PLT does not, in any way, constitute any guarantee of results. Success rates provided by the medical professionals at IVF Zlin are rates compiled and presented by the clinic.
  PLT has not and does not validate these claims, but our owners were successful in building their family by using the services provided by IVF Zlin and we know them to be highly professional and to provide world class service.

Responsibility

• PLT and its staff are not responsible for the outcomes of any medical treatment. Each client who accepts services is assumed to desire reproduction assistance. PLT and its staff absolve themselves from any care, treatment, or responsibilities related to the medical care, raising, expenses or any other services that may, in any way, be associated with the care of any children produced by any person(s) referred to PLT or its staff.
  PLT and its staff also absolve themselves from any medical care associated with any pregnancy that may result from fertility tourism services.

Lodging –

• Lodging, when included, is planned for double occupancy. This is applicable whether you are travelling with a partner/group, or whether you are travelling solo. If you are travelling solo, we will ensure that you will be roomed with someone of the same sex. Paths Less Travelled, Inc (PLT) will not, under any circumstance, pair two people of different sexes who had not met prior to the tour to room together.
  • We do, however, offer single occupancy options where a person has a room to themselves, but this service is only available upon request and is accompanied with an additional fee that varies from tour-to-tour. See tour specifics for more details or reach out to us at customerservice@pathslesstravelled.com or 855-553-0165.
    Please note that single occupancy is just that. It does not provide a better room, nicer room, or bigger room. It simply provides you with a room to yourself.
• Upgrades in rooms/experiences are available upon request, but may be accompanied with an increased price to account for the upgraded experience.
• Lodging facilities may not have elevators or air conditioning. If advertised, our tours provide for a driver/bellman to assist with bringing luggage and belongings to your room. This is not included in every tour though.
• Being centrally located does not always allow for the most quiet of locations so there may be noises outside of the lodging facility that PLT and its affiliates/partners have no control over.

Transportation –

• PLT tours sometimes provide for a driver and sometimes provide for a driver/bellman or a driver/guide. Some PLT tours are self-guided. .
  • PLT is completely absolved from any responsibilities related to damages, arrests, injuries, or any other liabilities associated with a customer’s decision related to drinking and driving.
• Recommended luggage sizes are 67cm/26 inches in height and 45cm/18 inches in width or smaller. If you show up with luggage that is larger than this, we may require that you arrange for storage options at our final destination hotel in order to ensure that we are able to accommodate our other guests as well.

Admission to PLT Scheduled Events/Experiences

• Your enrollment in our PLT tour provides for access to each of the planned sites/events as described in your itinerary at no additional expense to you.
  • We do recommend arriving a day or two earlier if flying from the US to Czech Republic in order to assist with adjustment to the new time zone and ensure that you get the most out of your tour.
• Our pricing for tours may fluctuate from time-to-time depending upon variables such as fluctuating currencies, seasonal and non-seasonal rates, or additional factors beyond the control of PLT. Your price, however, is guaranteed from the moment that we receive your deposit to secure your tour.

  This is in the best interest of the group. In such an event, PLT shall not be held liable for any travel, ancillary, or trailing expenses associated with your travel experience from that point forward and no refunds will be made available to you or members of you party.
• Please remember that we cannot control the weather and will, in all cases, strive to provide the best customer experiences for you and your group. This may require exposure to rain, sun, snow, and/or other outdoor elements. It may also require that we deviate from the previously scheduled event/experience.

Tour Forms, Obligations, & Risks

• To travel on a tour, and to qualify for cancellation credit, all tour members are required to review and accept a Release & Waiver Agreement prior to the beginning of a tour.

Participation

• It is our sincere desire to show the great wonders that our tours bring, but occasionally people act without regard to others or without considering the consequences of their actions. Our mission is to provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for all. Therefor, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to expel such a person from our trip at their expense in order to protect the experience of others in attendance as well as those small businesses in Czech Republic that we are proud to bring you to.
