Last updated: August 28, 2023

TERMS & CONDITIONS FOR TRAVEL AFFILIATE COMPANIES

These Terms and Conditions complement the MYBHUTAN TRAVEL AFFILIATE AGREEMENT and, together, they govern the services offered by MyBhutan LLC ("MyBhutan"), based in the United States of America, to MyBhutan’s affiliate travel companies and individuals (the “Partner”). Please read these Terms and Conditions and MyBhutan’s Refund (the “Refund Policy”) and Privacy Policies (the "Privacy Policy") carefully before signing the MYBHUTAN TRAVEL AFFILIATE AGREEMENT.

Your signing of the MYBHUTAN TRAVEL AFFILIATE AGREEMENT constitutes your acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions in the MYBHUTAN TRAVEL AFFILIATE AGREEMENT, these Terms and Conditions, the Refund Policy and the Privacy Policy, and your representation that you are of legal age to enter into this transaction. If you object to anything in the MYBHUTAN TRAVEL AFFILIATE AGREEMENT, these Terms and Conditions, the Refund Policy or the Privacy Policy, you should not sign the MYBHUTAN TRAVEL AFFILIATE AGREEMENT. The MYBHUTAN TRAVEL AFFILIATE AGREEMENT, these Terms and Conditions, the Refund Policy and the Privacy Policy together are hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement." Together, MyBhutan and the Partner are hereinafter referred to as the “Parties” and individually referred to as the “Party”. The duration of the Agreement is the same duration as is specified in the MYBHUTAN TRAVEL AFFILIATE AGREEMENT.

Creative Rights

MyBhutan owns creative rights to all itineraries and materials submitted to the Partner. The Partner shall not use any itinerary, iteration of an itinerary or materials submitted by MyBhutan outside the terms of this Agreement. Additionally, the Partner acknowledges that they may not share the itinerary or any related materials with competitors of MyBhutan. This restriction is in place to protect the proprietary nature of the itineraries. Any unauthorized sharing of itineraries with competitors is a breach of this Agreement.

Service Cancellations

MyBhutan shall provide prompt notice of any cancellation due to booking issues, increase in service costs, unforeseen events or other local intervening matters that it encounters when processing an itinerary for an order. MyBhutan is not responsible for any damages or claims of any kind in the event of such cancellations. 

Cancellations may occur for audiences/meetings without advance notice. In the case of a cancellation, MyBhutan may opt to substitute the audience/meeting with a different host. In this case, no refunds will apply.

Special Requests 

MyBhutan requests that all documented disabilities or dietary restrictions be disclosed prior to arrival in Bhutan so a plan can be provided to outline any on-site limitations for the Participants in question. Providing necessary resources and/or support may require additional costs by the Partner. 

Expenses

All costs and expenses incurred by you in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by you.

Payments

All payments due to MyBhutan shall be made in U.S. dollars.

Attorneys' Fees

In the event that you institute a legal suit, action, or proceeding against MyBhutan arising out of this Agreement, and do not prevail in the suit, action or proceeding, MyBhutan shall be entitled to receive from you, in addition to all other damages to which it may be entitled, the costs incurred in conducting the suit, action, or proceeding, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and court costs.

Further Assurances

Each of the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances, and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

Public Announcements

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, you shall not make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of MyBhutan (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and you shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement.

Notices

All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder (each, a "Notice") shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given to the Partner (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the Partner if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by facsimile or email (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the Partner, and on the next Business Day (as defined below) if sent after normal business hours of the Partner; or (d) on the third day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail (in each case, return receipt requested, postage pre-paid).

Interpretation

For purposes of this Agreement, (a) the words "include," "includes," and "including" are deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation;" (b) the word "or" is not exclusive; and (c) the words "herein," "hereof," "hereby," "hereto," and "hereunder" refer to this Agreement as a whole. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Severability

If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, MyBhutan and the Partner hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties for travel experiences (referred to as ‘Experience’ or ‘Experiences’ in the MYBHUTAN TRAVEL AFFILIATE AGREEMENT, and now hereinafter in this Agreement referred to as ‘Experience’ or ‘Experiences’) provided by MyBhutan to the Partner.

Amendment and Modification

MyBhutan reserves the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to change, modify, add to, supplement or delete any of the terms and conditions of these Terms and Conditions, the Refund Policy or the Privacy Policy, effective with or without prior notice. Your decision not to terminate the MYBHUTAN TRAVEL AFFILIATE AGREEMENT following any revision to this Agreement constitutes your complete and irrevocable acceptance of any and all such changes.

Waiver

No waiver by the Partner of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by MyBhutan.

The Partner hereby releases and forever discharges, and covenants not to sue, MyBhutan, and its officers, directors, employees and agents from all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and costs up through and including any appeal) arising out of the death, personal injury, property damage or otherwise suffered by any person or participant arising out of or related to, directly or indirectly, the Experience. In this regard, the Partner agrees to collect signed MyBhutan Waiver Release forms from each participant (or from parents/legal guardians for Participants that are minors) to the Experience.

Limitation of Liability

MyBhutan shall not be liable to the Partner for any special, indirect, incidental, exemplary, or consequential damages, including without limitation lost profits, business interruption, or loss of information, regardless of whether the Partner was advised of the possibility of any of the foregoing; and in no event shall the total collective liability of MyBhutan under this Agreement exceed the aggregate fees paid or owed to MyBhutan under this Agreement.

Force Majeure

No party shall be liable or responsible to the other party, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement (except for any obligations to make payments to the other party in the Amgreement), when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts beyond the affected party's reasonable control, including, without limitation: (a) acts of God; (b) flood, fire, earthquake, or explosion; (c) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot, or other civil unrest; (d) government order or law; (e) actions, embargoes, or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement; (f) action by any governmental authority; (g) national or regional emergency; (h) strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns, or other industrial disturbances; and (i) shortage of adequate power or (j) inability of third parties to provide services.
