PAYMENT OPTIONS
Full Payment
Clients may pay the full balance of their trip at the time of booking. Once payment is processed with the supplier, it is subject to that supplier’s cancellation and refund policies.
Payment Plan (If Applicable)
A payment schedule will be provided and agreed upon before booking. By selecting a payment plan, you agree to submit all installment payments on or before their due dates. A 7-day grace period applies for any missed payment; after that, a $25 late fee will be added to your outstanding balance. Bookings will cancel with supplier in full 8 days after the Final Payment due date. Our booking suppliers or X Curated Experiences LLC reserves the right to cancel reservations or remove planning services for non-payment.
NO-FEE BOOKINGS
Xpress Bookings and hotel only bookings are always complimentary and do not require a planning or curation fee. This applies to transactional trips booked where clients know exactly what they want booked and hotel-only reservations within the United States that do not require additional research, itinerary design, or coordination.
REFUND POLICY
All curation and planning fees are non-refundable. Refunds for booked travel services are subject to supplier policies. Any refunds received by X Curated Experiences LLC from suppliers will be passed directly to you. Refund timelines may vary between 5–30 days depending on the supplier. All non-refundable portions will be clearly disclosed prior to payment.
REFERRAL PROGRAM CREDIT
Clients can earn up to $50 off a future vacation per new client referral ($25 when the referred client begins booking and $25 after completion). A new client referral is defined as someone who has not previously booked with X Curated Experiences LLC and is not a friend or relative of XCE associates. Referral rewards are not applicable to bookings in which the referring client is a traveler or organizer. Referral credits will be communicated by X Curated Experiences upon qualification and these credits can be stacked.
PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION & LIABILITY ACKNOWLEDGMENT
X Curated Experiences LLC acts as an independent travel advisor and booking agent for third-party suppliers through Archer Travel Service, Inc. and Evolution Travel. By submitting payment, you authorize X Curated Experiences LLC to process payments on behalf of suppliers and agree not to dispute valid charges once confirmed, except in cases of fraud.
You acknowledge that you have been offered travel insurance and accept full responsibility for protecting your trip and finances. All bookings may require a payment authorization form and government-issued photo ID for verification.
