TERMS & CONDITIONS

These Terms & Conditions apply to the use of our website and the travel-related services we arrange for our clients.

 

By requesting, confirming, or using our services, you agree to these Terms & Conditions.

Our Services

  • Transportation arrangements
  • Hotel and accommodation bookings
  • Tours and excursions
  • Activities and experiences
  • Customised travel itineraries
  • Destination and travel planning
  • Other travel-related services requested by clients

 

Services are subject to availability and confirmation by the relevant supplier.

Eligibility

Our services are available to individuals aged 18 years or older and to businesses and organisations.

 

Clients are responsible for ensuring that all travellers meet any applicable entry, visa, health, age, or activity requirements relevant to their journey.

 

Loop the Map serves clients internationally, with its primary operations based in Sri Lanka.

Booking Confirmation

A booking is considered confirmed once the required booking information and payment have been received and the relevant services have been confirmed by Loop the Map.

A booking deposit of 30% may be required to secure services, unless otherwise stated in the applicable quotation or booking agreement.

The remaining balance and payment deadline will be communicated to the client before confirmation.

Pricing and Availability

All prices and availability are subject to change until a booking has been confirmed.
Prices may vary due to changes in:

  • Hotel availability
  • Transportation costs
  • Activity charges
  • Seasonal rates
  • Supplier pricing
  • Government taxes or fees
  • Exchange rates


Any confirmed booking will be subject to the price stated in the applicable quotation or confirmation, except where changes are required due to circumstances outside our reasonable
control.

Cancellation Policy

Clients may cancel a confirmed service or booking subject to the following conditions:


Cancellation 7 or More Days Before the Scheduled Service

 

Clients who cancel at least 7 days before the scheduled service date may be eligible for a full refund, subject to any supplier-specific cancellation conditions communicated at the time of booking.


Cancellation Less Than 7 Days Before the Service


Cancellations made less than 7 days before the scheduled service may be subject to partial refunds or applicable supplier charges.

 

The amount refunded may depend on the services already arranged, work completed, and cancellation charges imposed by third-party suppliers.

Booking Deposit

A 30% booking deposit may be required to secure services.

 

The deposit is refundable, subject to the cancellation terms applicable to the booking and any non-recoverable charges imposed by third-party suppliers.

 

Specific payment and refund conditions may be stated in the individual booking confirmation.

Partial Refunds

Partial refunds may be considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on:

  • Services already provided
  • Work already completed
  • Supplier cancellation policies
  • Non-recoverable charges
  • Timing of the cancellation

 

Where a service has already been provided, the corresponding amount may not be refundable.

No-Show and Late Changes

Refunds will generally not be provided for:

  • Client no-shows
  • Failure to attend a confirmed activity or service
  • Client-initiated changes made less than 48 hours before the scheduled service
  • Unused portions of a booking resulting from a client’s late arrival or early departure

 

Exceptions may be considered where circumstances are genuinely beyond the client’s control and where supplier policies allow.

Rescheduling and Travel Credits

Clients may request to reschedule a confirmed service once without a rescheduling penalty, provided the request is made at least 72 hours in advance.


Rescheduling remains subject to availability.

 

Where appropriate, Loop the Map may offer a travel credit instead of a refund. Unless otherwise stated, credits will be valid for 3 months from the original service date.

Third-Party Travel Services

Loop the Map may arrange services provided by independent third parties, including hotels, transport companies, guides, activity operators, restaurants, and other travel suppliers.

 

While we work with trusted service providers, these services remain subject to the supplier’s own terms, availability, operating conditions, and safety requirements.

Changes to Travel Arrangements

Travel arrangements may occasionally need to be changed due to weather, road conditions, operational issues, supplier changes, safety concerns, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

 

Where possible, Loop the Map will inform clients of significant changes and assist with reasonable alternatives.

  • Special requests


Clients should also provide timely responses and feedback when required to finalise travel
arrangements.
