Introduction

Welcome to AdventureScout, your trusted partner in facilitating applications for travel approval websites, including visas, electronic travel authorizations (eTAs), and other pre-travel documentation. These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of our services, website (www.adventurescout.com), and any interactions with our company, including through phone, email, live chat, social media, or in-person consultations. By accessing our website, engaging our services, or submitting an application, you agree to be bound by these Terms, as well as our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, which are incorporated by reference.

AdventureScout is not a government entity, consulate, embassy, or official authority responsible for issuing travel approvals. We provide facilitation and advisory services to assist clients in navigating the application process for travel approvals. These Terms outline the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both AdventureScout and our clients, ensuring a clear understanding of the scope and limitations of our services. We encourage you to read these Terms carefully to understand your obligations and our commitments.

1. Definitions

  • “AdventureScout,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to AdventureScout, a company headquartered at 456 Explorer Avenue, Suite 300, Seattle, WA 98101, USA, with additional offices in Sydney, Cape Town, and Tokyo.
  • “Client,” “you,” or “your” refers to any individual, business, or travel agency using our services or website.
  • “Services” refers to the facilitation, advisory, and support services provided by AdventureScout, including visa application assistance, eTA processing, corporate travel solutions, and consulting.
  • “Travel Approval” refers to visas, eTAs, or other pre-travel authorizations issued by government authorities.
  • “Third-Party Websites” refers to external platforms, such as government portals or payment processors, used in the application process.

2. Scope of Services

AdventureScout provides the following services to assist clients in obtaining travel approvals:

  • Guidance on visa and eTA application requirements and processes.
  • Document preparation and submission support.
  • Real-time tracking and updates on application statuses.
  • Consulting for businesses and travel agencies managing travel approvals.
  • Partnerships with third-party websites and government authorities to streamline applications.

We act as an intermediary between clients and the relevant authorities. The final decision to grant or deny a travel approval rests solely with the issuing government or authority, and AdventureScout has no control or influence over these decisions.

3. Client Responsibilities

By engaging our services, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate, complete, and truthful information required for travel approval applications.
  • Review all documentation and application details before submission to ensure accuracy.
  • Comply with the entry requirements of your destination country, including visa conditions, health regulations, and other stipulations.
  • Respond promptly to requests for additional information or documentation from AdventureScout or government authorities.
  • Pay all applicable fees, including AdventureScout’s service fees and any government or processing fees.
  • Adhere to the terms and conditions of third-party websites used for application submissions.

Failure to fulfill these responsibilities may result in delays, rejections, or additional costs, for which AdventureScout is not liable.

4. Fees and Payment

AdventureScout charges service fees for our facilitation and advisory services, which are separate from government or third-party processing fees. All fees are clearly outlined before services are rendered, and payment is required in advance. We accept payments via credit/debit cards and other methods specified on our website.

  • Service Fees: Cover document preparation, submission support, and customer service.
  • Government Fees: Charged by authorities for processing applications, which vary by country and approval type.
  • Non-Refundable Fees: Unless otherwise stated in our refund policy, service fees are non-refundable once services are initiated.

Our refund policy, available at www.adventurescout.com/refunds, governs refunds for services not rendered or errors on our part. Refunds are not issued for applications rejected by government authorities, as these decisions are beyond our control. Clients are encouraged to contact our support team at info@adventurescout.com for specific refund inquiries.

5. No Guarantee of Approval

AdventureScout makes every effort to ensure that applications are completed accurately and submitted in compliance with authority requirements. However, we do not guarantee the approval of any visa, eTA, or other travel authorization. Approval decisions are made by government authorities based on their policies, criteria, and discretion. Factors such as incomplete documentation, inaccuracies in provided information, or changes in immigration policies may lead to delays or rejections, which are outside AdventureScout’s control.

Clients acknowledge that travel approval processes involve inherent uncertainties, and AdventureScout is not liable for outcomes beyond our control.

  • Changes in government policies or travel regulations.
  • Technical issues with third-party websites or platforms.
