If a trip participant cancels their reservation 90 days or more before the trip runs, and if a replacement participant has been found, then a refund, less the standard cancellation fee and less any nonrecoverable expenses, shall be refunded to the participant.
If a trip participant cancels their reservation less than 90 days before the trip runs and there is no financial impact or penalty to the trip funds, then any refund due, less cancellation fee and any unrecoverable expenses shall be refunded to the cancelling participant.

Cancellation Fees shall be credited to the trip’s account and may be used by the trip leader for the running of the trip.
No cancellation fee shall be charged to the participant if the trip has changed from what was originally advertised regarding dates, destination, mode of transportation, or if there has been a cost increase of more than 15 % from the originally advertised price. A trip participant may not sell their spot. If they are gifting their spot, they must pay for any associated expenses and notify the trip leader of their cancellation.

Changes to a participant’s registration options may also result in a refund or additional expense to them. These changes shall be reported by the trip leaders to the Treasurer. The Treasurer and only the Treasurer, will then process the registration change and apply any refunds or recognize the additional expense as approved by the trip leader.
