About Reground Travel
Reground Travel is a boutique travel advisory based in Ontario, Canada.
We specialize in thoughtful travel planning, personalized itineraries, destination research, booking support, and travel guidance tailored to each client's needs and preferences.
Reground Travel operates as an independent travel advisor affiliated with Trevello Travel Group, a licensed travel agency in Ontario.
Although certain travel bookings may be processed through Trevello Travel Group or directly with travel suppliers, Reground Travel remains your primary point of contact throughout the planning process unless otherwise communicated.
Our Services
Our services may include, but are not limited to:
- Travel consultations
- Destination research
- Personalized itinerary design
- Travel recommendations
- Accommodation recommendations
- Transportation planning
- Cruise planning
- Tour and experience recommendations
- Booking coordination
- Travel supplier communication
- Trip review and optimization
- Travel support before departure
- General travel guidance
The specific services provided will depend on the service package selected and the scope of work agreed upon between you and Reground Travel.
Professional Advice
The recommendations we provide are based on our professional knowledge, research, supplier information, industry resources, and the information you share with us.
Travel planning involves many independent providers, changing availability, pricing fluctuations, weather conditions, government regulations, and other factors outside our control.
While we strive to provide thoughtful and accurate advice, travel recommendations should not be interpreted as guarantees regarding prices, availability, supplier performance, travel conditions, or future outcomes.
Service Fees
Certain services provided by Reground Travel may be subject to professional service fees.
These fees compensate us for the time, research, expertise, itinerary development, supplier coordination, and personalized planning involved in preparing your travel arrangements.
Service fees, where applicable:
- will be communicated before work begins;
- are separate from the cost of travel arrangements unless otherwise stated;
- may be non-refundable once planning work has commenced; and
- do not guarantee availability or pricing from travel suppliers.
If additional planning work is requested beyond the original scope of service, additional fees may apply. Any such fees will be discussed with you before the additional work begins.
Quotes & Pricing
Travel pricing is dynamic and may change at any time.
Unless specifically confirmed in writing, prices presented during the planning process are estimates only and remain subject to:
- supplier availability;
- exchange rate fluctuations;
- taxes and government fees;
- supplier surcharges;
- promotional offers;
- booking deadlines;
- changes made by travel providers.
A quote does not reserve pricing or availability.
Reservations are confirmed only after the required deposits or payments have been received and accepted by the applicable travel supplier.
Booking Process
Once you decide to proceed with a booking, Reground Travel will coordinate the reservation process on your behalf using the information you provide.
Before confirming any booking, you are responsible for reviewing all details carefully, including:
- Traveller names
- Travel dates
- Destinations
- Accommodation selections
- Flight information
- Room categories
- Transportation arrangements
- Pricing
- Supplier terms
- Cancellation policies
It is your responsibility to notify us immediately if any information is incorrect.
Once a booking has been confirmed, changes may be subject to supplier rules, additional charges, or cancellation penalties.
Travel bookings are also subject to the terms, conditions, and policies of the applicable travel suppliers, which will be provided or made available during the booking process.
Deposits & Final Payments
Most travel suppliers require deposits and final payments according to their own payment schedules.
Failure to make payments by the required deadlines may result in:
- cancellation of reservations;
- loss of deposits;
- supplier penalties;
- increased pricing; or
- loss of promotional offers.
Reground Travel is not responsible for reservations cancelled by suppliers due to missed payment deadlines.
Where applicable, payment instructions and deadlines will be communicated during the booking process.
Supplier Relationships
Reground Travel works with a network of hotels, cruise lines, airlines, tour operators, transportation providers, destination management companies, insurance providers, and other travel suppliers.
These suppliers operate as independent businesses.
While we carefully research and recommend suppliers that we believe offer quality products and services, we do not own, operate, or control these organizations.
As a result, each supplier remains solely responsible for:
- pricing
- schedules
- accommodations;
- transportation;
- customer service;
- cancellations;
- operational decisions; and
- compliance with their own terms and conditions.
Reground Travel acts as your travel advisor and booking intermediary. We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, negligence, financial condition, or operational decisions of independent travel suppliers.
End of Part 1
My review
I'm happy with the direction this takes. Compared to a standard agency agreement, it feels more aligned with Reground Travel's brand: clear, respectful, and client-focused, while still establishing important expectations.
In Part 2, we'll move into the client's responsibilities and key operational terms, including:
- Changes, cancellations, and refunds
- Passports, visas, and entry requirements
- Travel insurance
- Health and medical considerations
- Client responsibilities
- Accuracy of information
- Intellectual property
- Website use
- Third-party links
Those sections are where we add the practical protections that every professional travel advisor should have.
Excellent. This is where we protect the business while continuing to sound fair and client-focused.
Changes, Cancellations & Refunds
Travel plans sometimes change, and we understand that flexibility can be important.
If you wish to change or cancel your travel arrangements after a booking has been confirmed, please contact Reground Travel as soon as possible.
Changes and cancellations are subject to the policies of the applicable travel supplier, which may include:
- Change fees
- Cancellation penalties
- Loss of deposits
- Fare differences
- Additional supplier charges
- Restrictions on modifications
Reground Travel has no authority to override supplier policies or waive supplier-imposed fees.
If changes require additional research, itinerary revisions, or booking coordination beyond the original scope of work, additional professional service fees may apply. Any such fees will be communicated before additional work begins.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, service fees compensate us for the professional services already provided and are generally non-refundable once work has commenced.
Travel Documents
It is your responsibility to ensure that all travellers possess the required travel documents before departure.
Depending on your destination, this may include:
- Valid passports
- Required visas
- Entry permits
- Transit documentation
- Proof of onward travel
- Other government-required documentation
Many countries require passports to remain valid for at least six months beyond the date of entry or return.
Requirements can change without notice, and individual circumstances may vary.
Reground Travel provides general guidance where appropriate; however, each traveller remains solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining the necessary travel documentation.
We recommend reviewing official government sources well in advance of departure.
Entry Requirements & Government Advisories
Entry requirements, customs regulations, health measures, security procedures, and government travel advisories may change before or during your trip.
While we may provide general information or direct you to reliable resources, travellers are responsible for reviewing the most current official guidance issued by the relevant government authorities before departure.
Reground Travel is not responsible for travel disruptions resulting from changes to government regulations, border restrictions, visa requirements, or entry policies.
Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance for every trip.
Travel insurance may help protect against unexpected events such as:
- Trip cancellation
- Trip interruption
- Medical emergencies
- Emergency medical evacuation
- Lost or delayed baggage
- Flight delays
- Supplier insolvency
- Other unforeseen circumstances
Choosing whether to purchase travel insurance is ultimately your decision.
If you decline travel insurance, you acknowledge that you understand the potential financial risks associated with travelling without coverage.
Health & Medical Considerations
Travellers are responsible for ensuring they are medically fit to travel.
You should consult qualified healthcare professionals regarding:
- Vaccinations
- Prescription medications
- Medical conditions
- Destination-specific health recommendations
- Accessibility requirements
- Other health considerations relevant to your trip
- You should consult qualified healthcare professionals regarding:
If you have medical conditions, mobility requirements, dietary restrictions, allergies, or accessibility needs that may affect your travel experience, please inform us as early as possible.
We will make reasonable efforts to communicate these requirements to relevant suppliers but cannot guarantee that all requests can be accommodated.
Traveler Responsibilities
Successful travel planning is a collaborative process.
As our client, you agree to:
- Provide accurate and complete information.
- Review all itineraries, quotations, and booking confirmations carefully.
- Respond to requests for information in a timely manner.
- Meet payment deadlines.

- Follow applicable laws and regulations while travelling.
Delays in providing information or approvals may affect pricing, availability, or our ability to secure your preferred arrangements.
Accuracy of Information
We rely on the information you provide throughout the planning process.
You are responsible for ensuring that all traveller information—including names, dates of birth, passport details, contact information, and other booking information—is accurate.
Names on reservations must exactly match the traveller's government-issued identification or passport where applicable.
Reground Travel is not responsible for costs, delays, denied boarding, or other issues resulting from inaccurate or incomplete information provided by the traveller.
Special Requests
We are happy to communicate special requests to travel suppliers whenever possible.
Examples include:
- Dietary preferences
- Room preferences
- Bedding requests
- Accessibility requirements
- Celebratory occasions
- Seating requests
- Other reasonable travel preferences
While we will make reasonable efforts to communicate these requests, they remain subject to supplier availability and cannot be guaranteed unless confirmed directly by the supplier.

End of Part 2
My review
I actually like this section even more than Part 1. It balances professionalism with readability and avoids sounding adversarial. It also reflects the boutique, advisory nature of Reground Travel rather than reading like a mass-market agency contract.
Part 3 will complete the document with:
- Limitation of Liability
- Force Majeure
- Indemnification
- Severability
- Governing Law (Ontario)
- Changes to the Terms
- Contact Information
- A brief closing statement
That final section will complete a publication-ready Terms & Conditions page consistent with the rest of your website. cite
Perfect. This completes the Terms & Conditions and brings the document to a professional conclusion.
