Group Bookings Made Easy

2 Great Ways to Save!

AV-OK Total Vacation Security now available for ALL group bookings! applevacations.com/avok

1.) Traditional Groups Groups of 10 Rooms or More! Traditional group bookings are the right choice for larger groups who want to lock in their space (both air and hotel) and package price for the entire group before the individual travelers are ready to book. Traditional groups require a group contract and group deposit in order to hold space, and may qualify for FREE hotel stays and/ or airfare credits as described on page VIS1 at the back of this catalog. Special offers also apply for small groups consisting of five or more rooms at select hotels.

Whether it’s a grand gala or an intimate gathering barefoot in the sand, Apple Vacations has just what you’re looking for in a destination wedding. After all, we’ve helped countless couples celebrate their new beginnings in the setting of their dreams. Custom-design your own celebration in paradise, or choose from a wide variety of wedding packages. Many hotels even offer FREE weddings! Apple Vacations will handle all of the travel arrangements, and set you up with the hotel’s personal wedding coordinator who will take care of all of the details for your once-in-a-lifetime event.

2.) Coordinating group travel can get complicated, so we developed our new “Group-Ease” program designed for groups of all kinds consisting of 10 passengers or more. With Group-Ease, each room can be booked individually, yet every group member saves with the group’s promo code. Group-Ease makes booking groups a breeze! •P romo code savings–Every group member saves $20-$80 (depending on the package price) utilizing the group’s promotional code •E arn the same FREE hotel stays and airfare credits* as traditional groups •N o group deposit or group contract is required. The individual’s price and space (air and hotel) is locked in at the time each booking is guaranteed •B rides and grooms with smaller wedding groups (10-20 total passengers) who choose the Group-Ease option will qualify for special discounts. For details, see page VIS 1 at the back of this catalog.

Which is Right for You? If you want to be sure your space (air and hotel) and package price are locked in, opt for a traditional group booking. Group-Ease is an ideal option for those that do not wish to place a group deposit in order to hold space, or be held to the terms of a group contract. Questions? Your travel professional will be happy to help. *FREE hotel stays/airfare credits and promotional code discounts are not combinable. Airfare credits do not include air-related taxes and fees of up to $152 per person and fuel surcharges of up to $160 per person at time of printing (August 2013). Taxes, fees and surcharges subject to change.

56 NEW - Things to do in Jamaica! Scan this image with "Apple Interactive" App

Jamaica Nothing is a problem on this island paradise where reggae, romance and the Caribbean sun come together. Jamaica gleams in technicolor, as lofty Blue Mountains spill onto verdant plains, shimmering sands and turquoise seas. Each of Jamaica’s 12 golf courses has its own unique design, personality and topographical features. Pioneers of the all-inclusive vacation concept, you won’t find an island that does it better. The “capital of casual,” Negril is located on the western tip of the island and features the white sands of Seven Mile Beach. Cruise along the coastline to Rick’s Café to watch cliff divers and the incredible sunset.

Montego Bay has it all, from a modern international airport to five championship golf courses to boutique and luxury hotels. Visit the Hip Strip and the Rose Hall Great House, and raft down the Martha Brae. Runaway Bay is the ideal place to bask in the culture of Jamaica. Visit Nine Mile (birthplace of Bob Marley), ReggaeXplosion and Seville Heritage Park to get the full Jamaican experience. Located in the center of the island’s long north coast, Ocho Rios is particularly noted for its waterfalls (including world-famous Dunn’s River Falls), beaches, gardens and fern gullies.

VIS2 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO HEALTH AND SAFETY TIPS FOR TRAVELERS

As you are about to embark on a foreign vacation, there are certain things of which you need to be aware. Apple Vacations strongly recommends that you visit the portion of United States Department of States’ website http://travel.state.gov/index.html, which deals with foreign travel. Specifically, you should read tips on foreign travel and travel warnings for the country or countries you plan to visit. Although foreign travel is exciting and rewarding, you must keep in mind that you are not traveling in the United States and extra caution is required to make your trip happy and successful. Just a few of the issues you need to be aware of are: medical standards and training of emergency responders and resort medical facilities vary greatly. If you have medical issues or concerns about medical services, Apple Vacations urges you to contact the particular property, as health care abroad may not be the same as you might expect at home. Sports and aquatic equipment, especially scuba gear, may not meet U.S. safety standards and many resort pools and beaches may lack lifeguards. Balcony railing heights in Mexico are lower than the mandated heights in the United States. Low balcony railings create a risk of falls, which may result in serious injury or death.

RESERVATIONS/PAYMENT/LATE BOOKINGS

For availability and confirmation of your chosen vacation package, see your travel agent, visit us at applevacations.com or call 1-800-517-2000. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) regulations require you to provide your full name, date of birth, and gender at the time of booking for the purpose of watch-list screening. Failure to provide this information will result in you not being allowed to travel. For details, visit www.tsa.gov. Once your reservation is confirmed with Apple, the amendment and cancellation charges as explained in the Fair Trade Contract will apply. Full payment is required at time of booking for bookings made directly on our website, applevacations.com and credit cards are the only acceptable form of payment. Note: If any reservation made by you or your travel agent includes children at a hotel not accepting children, you will be denied check-in at resort. You will be responsible for any additional costs. We advise you to book early for best choice and value. Late bookings incur additional costs for faxing, updating and confirming your accommodations. Therefore, we will charge a late booking fee of $10 per person on all reservations made 14 days or less before departure.

SPECIAL REQUESTS

Apple Vacations will provide the services and facilities of your vacation package as described in our catalog and confirmed on your invoice. If you would prefer special arrangements other than those described, such as adjoining rooms, specific assistance needed or special meals, we will be glad to pass on your special request to the appropriate vendor on your behalf. However, since these requests lie outside our contracts with our suppliers, Apple Vacations cannot guarantee special requests unless otherwise stated.

ITEMS NOT INCLUDED

Passport and visa fees, port and embarkation fees, laundry, telephone calls, other items and services of a personal nature, and tips to airport baggage handlers are not included in the price of your vacation. Unless specified, wines, liquors, meals, sightseeing and excursions are also not included in the price of your vacation. Departure/immigration taxes, passenger facility charges, September 11 Security Fee and any applicable fuel surcharges are not included in the base price and will be invoiced and collected with final payment. In some instances, departure taxes or tourist card fees are payable at the airport on your day of departure or arrival. Tourist Cards for the Dominican Republic must be purchased at your resort airport upon arrival. Airport/hotel transfers are not included in Puerto Rico or Turks & Caicos. Airlines may also charge additional fees such as seat assignment or meal fees. Check with the airline for specific charges.

TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN

Infants under two years of age throughout the duration of their vacation may fly and stay free, but must sit on an adult’s lap and do not receive a separate baggage allowance. Some scheduled airlines may charge for infants, including air-related taxes, and some countries do charge infant departure taxes. Any such charges by independent suppliers or governments are the responsibility of the client. Restrictions may apply to “Kids Stay, Play and Eat FREE” programs and most hotels require that children must be accompanied by full-paying adults and pay airfare. Policies vary by individual hotels. Hotels may check the passports of children at check-in to verify they qualify for any discounted child room rate. At select hotels, a single parent traveling with up to two or three children (varies by hotel) is not charged the single supplement. The hotels reserve the right to collect the single supplement in resort, or cancel any extra room upon arrival, if the promotional policy is not used in the manner for which it was intended. Restrictions apply.

BAGGAGE ALLOWANCE

Many airlines are charging fees for checked and/or carry-on bags and have different baggage allowances and fees. Please check with your airline for specifics. Carry-on luggage is limited to one bag per person and must be small enough to fit beneath the seat in front of you; some airlines have a carry-on bag fee. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT EXCESS/ OVERSIZED BAGGAGE MAY BE DENIED AT CHECK-IN and if accepted, there will be additional charges. Anyone attempting to check-in excess baggage should arrive at the ticket counter a minimum of 2 hours prior to departure (except where a carrier specifies a longer minimum), or risk being denied boarding. Lap children under age two do not receive a separate baggage allowance. Apple Vacations accepts no liability for loss or damage to luggage. We recommend that passengers consider the use of a TSA approved lock to secure their luggage. For details on baggage insurance, see your travel agent.

INSECTICIDE NOTICE

Some countries require insecticide spraying of aircraft prior to a flight or while you are on the aircraft. Federal law requires that we refer you to http://airconsumer.dot.gov/spray.htm for more information.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS

Requirements as outlined below may change, so see your travel agent or contact the consulate for the country to which you are traveling to be accurately advised of current requirements. Proper documentation is your responsibility. The following information gives current requirements for United States citizens, effective at time of printing (September, 2013): Passengers of all ages returning to the U.S. by air from any international destination require a valid passport. A state-issued birth certificate with government issued photo I.D., or a passport “card”, is not acceptable. Passports must be in good condition and passengers may be denied boarding by the airline if a passport is damaged, mutilated or has excessive wear. If your name on your passport (or for non-U.S. citizens, valid travel documents) does not match your name on your travel vouchers/tickets, you will not be allowed to travel. All passengers 18 and over traveling within the United States or to any U.S. territory (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) require only a valid government-issued photo I.D.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS continued For U.S. citizens traveling to Panama and to some European countries, a passport valid for a minimum of 3 months past the date of arrival is required. Requirements may change, so check with the consulate of the country to which you are traveling. For details on how to obtain a passport, contact your local courthouse or post office. For information on obtaining expedited passports visit www.abriggs.com/applevac. If you are not a U.S. citizen, contact the embassy of the country to which you are traveling to determine required entry documents. We regret that we cannot accept unaccompanied minors under 18 for any travel. Failure to comply with the above requirements will result in you not being allowed to travel.

INDEPENDENT SUPPLIERS

Apple Vacations contracts with airlines, hotels and other independent suppliers to provide you with the services you purchase. We do not accept and expressly disclaim responsibility for the acts or omissions of these independent suppliers.

MINORS TRAVELING TO MEXICO

Mexican law requires that any non-Mexican citizen under the age of 18 traveling to/from Mexico must carry a notarized letter giving permission from any parent or guardian not traveling with the child to or from Mexico. This permission must include the name of the parent, the name of the child, the name of anyone traveling with the child, and the notarized signature(s) of the absent parent(s). The State Department recommends that the permission should include travel dates, destinations, airlines and a brief summary of the circumstances surrounding the travel. The child must be carrying the original letter – not a facsimile or scanned copy–as well as proof of the parent/child relationship (usually a birth certificate or court document)–and an original custody decree, if applicable. Travelers should contact the Mexican Embassy or the nearest Mexican consulate if they have any questions about these requirements and recommendations.

CUSTOMS

U.S. Customs currently imposes an $800 limit per person ($1600 for U.S. Virgin Islands) on the value of goods you can bring into the country duty-free from most countries. This amount does vary depending on the particular country to which you travel. Also, you are restricted from bringing certain types of goods, (e.g. fresh fruits, vegetables) back into the U.S. Ask your travel agent for the latest details and remember to save receipts for purchases you made while on vacation.

NIGHTS IN YOUR HOTEL

The “Nights in Hotel” listed on your confirmation/travel voucher indicates the number of nights that your room has been reserved for you. If your return flight departs late evening, it is normal for your hotel to require that you check out of your room at midday. In these cases, a room MAY be made available for storing hand baggage and for changing prior to departure. However, this is at the discretion of the hotel.

CREDIT CARDS AND TRAVELERS CHECKS

Visa, MasterCard and American Express cards are accepted in most destinations. Most local banks and hotels provide a currency exchange. Please be aware that Mexico has passed a law restricting the amount of US cash that Mexican banks, hotels and retail businesses can accept. The use of US credit cards is unaffected by the restrictions on cash.

VALUABLES AND PERSONAL ITEMS

VALUABLES AND OTHER PERSONAL ITEMS ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Most hotels offer safety deposit box facilities. You may want to deposit cash, traveler’s checks, passports, jewelry and other valuables for security. Do not pack cash, medication, jewelry, cameras, film, important documents or fragile items in your checked luggage.

DINING DRESS CODE

Although casual dress is the standard by day, many resorts have dress code requirements for dinner. Before you pack, be sure to check with your travel agent or visit our website for detailed dress code information for your hotel.

GETTING MARRIED AND HONEYMOONING IN RESORT

If you plan to get married in your resort destination, be sure to check with the local tourist office and consulate of the country in which you are getting married for legal documents that may be required. Honeymoon Value Plus offers require you to supply a valid marriage certificate.

HANDICAPPED SERVICES AND FACILITIES

Should you desire any special service or equipment to assist with a disability, please let us know in advance so we can advise the air carrier (services available vary by carrier). Although we will do our best to assist you, Apple Vacations does not guarantee the availability of wheelchairs at any airport. Wheelchair accessible rooms may be requested but cannot be guaranteed. Standards may vary from property to property and country to country and may not be consistent with the standards required by the Americans With Disabilities Act and are not within the control of Apple Vacations.

CATALOG/WEBSITE ACCURACY

We check and re-check prices and facts about the vacations we offer to ensure accuracy at the time of printing. Sometimes, however, you may find that prices have been changed or features we describe may become unavailable. Whenever possible, we will inform you or your travel agent about such changes. However, all prices and descriptions herein, as well as in Apple Vacations print advertisements and our website, are subject to change without notice. Some hotel room photographs in this catalog and our website do not depict the standard room category. Maps are not to scale. Apple Vacations is not responsible for omissions or errors.

CUSTOMER COMMENTS

Should you have a complaint while on vacation you must provide Apple Vacations with a reasonable opportunity to rectify the issue during your vacation by promptly notifying our representative in resort who will make every effort to help you. If the matter cannot be settled on the spot, you must write to our Customer Care Department within 28 days of the completion of your vacation at customercare@applevacations.com. The few complaints we receive are normally resolved by amicable settlement. However, please understand that we cannot consider post-vacation submissions if you did not provide Apple Vacations with a reasonable opportunity to assist you during your trip. We reserve the right to give any compensation in the form of vacation certificates, cash or credit card credit.

LOST ITEMS

If upon your return, you find that you have left something in resort, Apple Vacations will make an inquiry on your behalf. If the item is located, you will be responsible for any international shipping charges to have the item returned. Email: lostitems@applevacations.com for assistance. September 2013

For a complete description of plan coverage, please refer to the Plan Description at applevacations.com/avok prior to your purchase. The AV-OK Total Vacation Security Plan must be purchased no later than the close of business 7 days after your initial booking (except for group passengers who are subject to unique contracts*). For bookings created within 14 days of departure, AV-OK must be purchased at time of payment.

The AV-OK Total Vacation Security Plan includes a Pre-Departure Cancellation/Change Waiver, Best Price Guarantee and Post-Departure Travel Insurance.

1) APPLE VACATIONS’ PRE-DEPARTURE CANCELLATION/CHANGE WAIVER — This waiver pertains to all vacation types: land only, charter, and scheduled air vacations including non-refundable scheduled airfares and airline penalties. This non-refundable plan allows you to cancel or change your vacation up until the flight check-in is closed (approximately one hour prior to scheduled departure time), except for “no shows” and “no show” related cancels. For last minute cancels, call 1-866-860-AVOK no later than one hour prior to your scheduled departure. (“No-shows” include passengers who arrive at the airport or at the gate too late to travel, or who fail to have the required passport and other necessary travel documents.) Travel Voucher Programs: When a cancellation is made during a penalty period, your cancellation penalty will be refunded in Apple Vacations’ travel vouchers (redeemable through the original booking agency), with the balance of the refund made in the original form of payment less the non-refundable AV-OK plan payment. Apple Vacations travel vouchers may be used like cash when purchasing an Apple Vacation, are valid for one year, are non-refundable and non-transferable (issued only in the name of the passenger who cancelled) and may not be redeemed for cash. “Cash Back” Programs: The entire refund (less the non-refundable AV-OK plan payment) will be in original form of payment if you purchased the “cash back” option at the time of booking for an additional $30 per person. Changes: AV-OK coverage is non-transferable and must be repurchased/reactivated if you want to have coverage on certain amended bookings. A reactivation fee of $25 for charter/land only bookings and $45 for scheduled air bookings applies for all departure date, duration, hotel, departure city, destination and (scheduled air) class of service changes. A $10 reactivation fee applies for children 12 and under (all booking types). Higher reactivation fees apply to holiday departures. Changes from charter to scheduled air or between scheduled air carriers, as well as name changes, require cancellation and full repurchase of AV-OK. If the number of individuals occupying a room changes, the remaining travelers will be responsible for any additional costs incurred as a result of a change in the per person occupancy rate. 2) APPLE VACATIONS’ BEST PRICE GUARANTEE — If a lower priced charter fare-class becomes available after deposit, you can claim the savings. If we advertise a discount on the exact same vacation that you have booked (same date, flight, scheduled air fare-class, duration of stay, hotel, and room category) and all components are available, you can claim the savings prior to departure. This does not apply to Air Only, Fly/Drive, Square Deals, special packages, booking date-restricted sales and hotels with a “closed” booking status. Many added values offered by hotels are booking date-restricted and are not covered by the Best Price Guarantee. 3) APPLE VACATIONS’ POST-DEPARTURE TRAVEL INSURANCE PLAN — Post-Departure Trip Interruption, Travel Delay, Baggage and more! Interrupt your Apple Vacation due to a covered reason, and your travel investment will be reimbursed up to $100 per day (to a maximum of $500) for a delayed arrival on your Trip due to cancellation of arrangements by an airline as a result of bad weather, mechanical breakdown or organized labor strikes. This high-quality travel insurance plan offered by Trip Mate will protect your vacation investment, your belongings, and most importantly, you. This plan also covers you even if you must interrupt your trip due to a pre-existing medical condition. You will receive a “Plan Description” with your travel documents, which provides complete details of the Plan, including conditions, exclusions and limitations. Plan payments are non-refundable and non-transferable. *Groups are subject to unique contracts covering the terms and conditions applicable to each group’s travel arrangements - reference should be made to those contracts to determine the applicable cancellation penalties. Groups of 5 rooms or more: Some exclusions may apply for cancellations on group bookings. Contact your travel agent or our Groups Department at 1-800-315-7871. Apple Vacations’ Best Price Guarantee and Pre-Departure Cancellation/Change Waiver does not apply to Ski packages. Apple Vacations’ ski products are operated by VacationRoost, an independent ski vacation wholesaler selected by Apple Vacations to provide you with the ski vacation services you purchase. VacationRoost’s Terms and Conditions apply to all bookings made through Apple Vacations. Ski insurance is also available through VacationRoost. For details, visit applevacations.com/ski-terms.

VIS4 FAIR TRADE CONTRACT YOUR CONTRACT WITH APPLE VACATIONS Please also refer to our “Things To Know Before You Go” page accompanying this contract (page VIS2 or applevacations.com/travel-tips). All vacations are subject to the terms and conditions shown on the Apple Vacations Fair Trade Contract and your booking of the vacation is acceptance of the terms in this contract. Ski and Group vacations have special terms and conditions. For Ski, see the applicable terms and conditions at applevacations.com/ski-terms. For Groups, refer to your groups contract or see your travel agent. 1. BOOKINGS AND PAYMENTS All that is required to reserve your vacation is a signed booking form and the applicable deposit per person, plus the AV-OK plan payment (if selected). The balance due must be paid at least 45 days before departure (for bookings within 45 days of departure, full payment is due at time of booking). Full payment by credit card is required at time of booking for bookings made directly on our website, applevacations.com. Bookings for travel December 24-27 will require payment in full by October 15. For certain holiday departures, full payment is due 60 days prior to departure. We reserve the right to treat the booking as cancelled by you if the balance due is not paid on time. Deposit requirements: For vacation packages utilizing published airline tickets, full payment of the air portion of the package is required at the time of guarantee (credit cards only), which will be forfeited if the booking is cancelled. For vacation packages using contracted scheduled air, the minimum deposit is $200 per person; and for Charter air bookings the required deposit is $125 per person. Late bookings often require us to incur additional costs for faxing, updating and confirming your hotel accommodations. Therefore, we will charge a late booking fee of $10 per person, in addition to the normal price on all vacations booked 14 days or less prior to departure. Apple Vacations reserves the right to issue scheduled airline tickets once the booking is under applicable deposit. 2. AMENDMENTS AND CANCELLATIONS If you cancel your vacation or change your departure date, flight, duration, class of service, name, departure city, or destination, the charges shown below become payable by you. Significant additional penalties (i.e. non-refundable airline tickets and fees, non-refundable or non-transferable hotel promotions) may apply.

If the number of individuals occupying a room changes due to an amendment or cancellation, the remaining travelers will be responsible for any additional costs incurred as a result of a change in the per person occupancy rate. If all passengers change it is considered a new booking and cancellation penalties will apply. Suppliers’ cancellation provisions on optional tours only allow a refund if cancelled with the notice required by the supplier - see the excursion company for the applicable notice provisions or to arrange a refund. To cover your cancellation and change fees, you may purchase the AV-OK Total Vacation Security Plan no later than the close of business 7 days after your initial booking (except for group passengers who are subject to unique contracts).

AIR CARRIERS Apple Vacations has made arrangements for international air transportation to your vacation destination via certified charter or scheduled air carriers duly filed under D.O.T. regulations. Apple Vacations reserves the right to substitute alternate aircraft if necessary. Any air transportation provided by a certified charter air carrier may not be cancelled less than 10 days prior to the scheduled departure date unless it is physically impossible to operate the flight. Passengers returning from any international destination must have a valid passport and for non-U.S. citizens valid entry documents. (page VIS2 or applevacations.com/travel-tips). Apple Vacations is not responsible for any passenger who is unable to travel as a result of their failure to have a valid passport, and for non-U.S. citizens, failure to have necessary travel documents. 4. AIRLINE AND SUPPLIER RESPONSIBILITY Apple Vacations, the airlines and other suppliers it uses issue tickets, coupons or electronic documents covering transportation, hotel accommodations and other services and facilities. Neither Apple Vacations nor these suppliers, or their respective subagents, shall

be held liable for loss or damage to property or injury of person caused by reason of any defect, negligence, or other wrongful act or omission by any other hotel agency, transportation company or party providing such services or facilities, strike, war, terrorism, weather, quarantine, sickness, government restrictions or regulations, or any other cause beyond its reasonable control. All airlines concerned are not liable for any claim arising out of or in connection with carriage or other services or features otherwise performed or occurring in connection with this package, except as provided in the conditions of carriage for the airlines and the passenger tickets issued in conjunction with this package. Apple Vacations is not responsible under any circumstances for any injury or damages you may suffer in connection with your air or ground transportation. 5. LUGGAGE AND PERSONAL PROPERTY When you fly to and from your destination the Conditions of Carriage apply, some of which limit or exclude liability. The Conditions of Carriage are available by requesting them in writing from the carrier or by request at the airport. Some airlines do not cover damage to soft-sided luggage. The airlines’ maximum liability for loss, damage or delay to checked baggage is limited to $3300 per ticketed passenger domestically and $9.07 per pound up to 44 lbs. per ticketed passenger for international travel. These limits will apply unless an excess valuation is declared at the time of check-in. All lost or damaged luggage must be reported to an airline representative at the destination airport by the passenger before you leave the airport. Checked baggage taken from the terminal building at the destination will be considered to have been received in good condition and no claim for loss or damage will be accepted after baggage has been removed from the terminal. The maximum liability of the ground transportation company in resort for lost or damaged property is $400. Loss or damage must be reported immediately. Apple Vacations does not accept liability for client luggage or personal property. 6. FORUM SELECTION Resolution of disputes shall be in accordance with the Dispute Resolution clause below. The exclusive forum for litigation shall be the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County, Pennsylvania. 7. DISPUTE RESOLUTIONS Should a dispute arise concerning the terms and conditions of this fair trade agreement or involving a loss, injury or damage during or relating to your trip, the parties’ remedies shall be limited to dispute resolution through binding arbitration in Delaware County, Pennsylvania and shall be governed by the Uniform Arbitration Act of Pennsylvania. Each party shall appoint an arbitrator. The arbitrators shall appoint a neutral arbitrator. The decision of the arbitration panel shall be final and binding on the parties. Each party shall be responsible for their own costs with the costs of the neutral arbitrator to be divided evenly between the parties.

WHAT WE PROVIDE IN RETURN

1. PRICE GUARANTEE The D.O.T. has defined air transportation, tour or tour component as purchased when the full amount of that air transportation, tour or tour component has been paid by the consumer. Our intention is to provide you with the vacation which you have selected, at the price in effect at time of booking. If for any reason we have to increase the price of your vacation, including an error made in computing your price, we will offer you the option of cancellation without charge, provided that you advise us within seven days of your receipt of notice of the increase. Pre-purchase price increases (increases to a vacation package without full payment on the record) including but not limited to an increase in the price of the air seat, an increase in the price for the carriage of the passenger baggage, an increase in the applicable fuel surcharge, or an increase in a government imposed tax or fee may apply. Post-purchase price increases (increases to a vacation package that has full payment on the record) are prohibited except for those increases related to government imposed taxes and fees. Change fees do not constitute an increase in the price of an already purchased ticket, as technically the consumer is purchasing a new ticket for new travel. If a scheduled airline initiates a schedule change which results in a fare increase, the passenger is responsible for the additional cost. 2. FLIGHT INFORMATION Your travel agent will be able to confirm the latest flight details at the time you make your reservation, and these will also appear on the booking confirmation we issue when we receive your deposit. Your flight tickets, which we dispatch when your booking is paid in full, or your electronic documents, will contain your flight information. All times are subject to change. It is your responsibility to reconfirm your flight times prior to departing for the airport. Apple Vacations assumes no responsibility for any passengers making independent connections to flights booked through Apple Vacations. Pre-assigned seat selection is at the discretion of the air carrier and may require payment of an additional fee. 3. AMENDMENTS & CANCELLATION Special features offered by hotels are subject to change at the hotel’s discretion. In the unlikely event that a major change involving a pre-departure change of hotel, departure or return date, departure city or destination becomes necessary, we will notify you as soon as possible. If you find the revised arrangements we offer unacceptable, you will have the option of cancellation without charge provided that you notify us within seven days of your receipt of notice of the change (or prior to departure date if notified less than seven days prior). In the event of a change, we will try to substitute comparable services, but in the event of complete cancellation by us or a supplier, our only liability will be to return all monies paid (public charters only) or provide a refund in the form of an Apple Vacations credit. For charter flights only, if landing rights are denied by a foreign government, the flight will be cancelled with a full refund. 4. REFUNDS Any refunds always will be made as soon as possible in the original form of payment. Please note, however, that no refunds will be made for any services provided in the itinerary that you do not use. Passengers who do not travel (charter, land only or scheduled air) are subject to 100% cancellation penalties.

AV-OK Plan payments are non-refundable and non-transferable. Refunds (if applicable) for scheduled air programs will only be issued upon the return of the unused ticket. If you booked your Apple Vacation through a travel agent, all communications prior to your departure, including payment and refund transactions, must be via your travel agent. If for any reason you should lose your scheduled airline ticket, you will have to purchase a new ticket at your own expense and upon your return home, you must contact your travel agent to begin refund procedures by completing a “Lost Ticket Application” (fees may apply). Any refunds made by the airline will be based on the value of the original ticket issued less any airline processing fees. In most cases the replacement ticket will be more expensive. 5. OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO YOU Apple Vacations has made arrangements with airlines, hotels and other independent suppliers to provide you with the services you purchase; and is represented in Mexico and most Caribbean destinations by companies organized and existing in that destination, including providers of transportation and excursions. We have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that proper arrangements have been made for your vacation. However, we do not accept and expressly disclaim any liability for the actions or omissions of these independent suppliers. If you find you have any dispute with such persons, however, we will give you as much reasonable help as we can in resolving a dispute. Please understand that we cannot control and will not be responsible for such factors as weather, government actions, terrorism, mechanical breakdowns, your physical, medical or mental disabilities, your failure to obtain valid travel documents or your failure to follow travel instructions. Apple Vacations is not responsible for losses or damages arising from bodily injury, property or other damage caused by factors beyond our control, including but not limited to flight delays, airline turbulence, transportation accidents or other unforeseen circumstances. All prices and features described in Apple Vacations’ promotional materials and website are subject to change without notice. Some hotel room photographs do not depict the standard room category. If any term or provision of this Fair Trade Contract is held invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the enforceability of the remaining terms or provisions will not be impaired thereby. 6. SECURITY Apple Vacations has surety trust agreements with Susquehanna Patriot Bank, 101 Bryn Mawr Avenue, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010 for payment of any charter air package refunds as defined by the agreements. Under these agreements, unless you file a claim with Apple Vacations (or with the bank) within 60 days after termination of your vacation, both parties shall be deemed released from all liability to you. Make all checks payable to Susquehanna Patriot Bank Apple Vacations Escrow. 7.

Because of its status as an independent agent, and because it maintains no control over personnel, equipment or operations of the travel service suppliers, Apple Vacations does not accept and expressly disclaims any liability for any bodily injury, property or other damage incurred as a result of any wrongful acts, omissions or default on the part of the suppliers. As all monies received for travel services are forwarded to the supplier, except for the agent’s commission, Apple Vacations shall not be responsible for refund of monies not in its possession.
