AGREEMENT

SPRING BREAK TRIP TO RIVIERA MAYA, MEXICO

In connection with the upcoming planned trip to Riviera Maya, Mexico in March 2016 for certain Wootton H.S.
Seniors and families/family friends, you agree to the following on your own behalf and, if you are a parent, on behalf of
your minor child or children, whether your minor child is traveling with you or alone. Each person traveling is referred to
below as a Traveler.
1.
Booking information and cost details have been relayed previously as provided by The Family Traveler, LLC.
Accommodations are scheduled to be at the Grand Palladium Kantenah in Riviera Maya, Mexico (the Resort) departing
Friday, March 25, 2016 and returning Thursday, March 31, 2016.
2.
Gayle Strauss and Tracie Saltzman (the Trip Organizers) have coordinated travel utilizing the services of the
travel agency, The Family Traveler, LLC. Neither the Trip Organizers nor members of their immediate family shall be
held responsible for any aspect of the trip, including, but not limited to, matters related to airlines, transfers to and from
the Resort, accommodations, room assignments, Resort amenities, excursions, injuries, damages, claims of any kind, or
related in any way to activities or actions in which a Traveler(s) may participate or be involved.
3.
As explained previously, the Resort does not allow spring break teens unless traveling with parental supervision.
Each Traveler under the age of 21 who is traveling with his or her parent shall be supervised by that parent and that parent
shall be responsible for his/her son or daughter regardless of whether the son or daughter is above or below the age of 18.
Each Traveler who is a high school senior (a Senior) who is not traveling with his or her parent has designated a
Responsible Adult who has agreed to be available to that Traveler in the case of emergency and for general guidance, if
requested. Each Senior agrees to act responsibly and appropriately at all times. Despite the assignment of a Responsible
Adult, each Senior is responsible for his or her own actions, safety, and conduct. Each Traveler, including all Seniors,
travel at their own risk and assume the risk of any activities, whether it be a private excursion, using the Resorts facilities
or otherwise. Neither the Trip Planners nor the Responsible Adult(s) shall be held liable or responsible for any actions,
conduct, misconduct, damages, or injuries caused by or related to a Senior(s) or any other Traveler. Each Traveler below
the age of 21 who is not a Senior and who is not traveling with his or her own parent shall be the responsibility of the
parent who has agreed to care for that Traveler (such as, a friend of a younger sibling of a Senior, or a minor who is a
family friend of a Senior family). In the event that any Traveler is asked to leave the Resort due to his or her misconduct,
inappropriate behavior or the like, any cost of early departure shall be borne fully by the Traveler or Travelers parents in
the event the Traveler is below the age of 21.
4.
By signing below, you agree to release and hold harmless the Trip Planners, their families, all Responsible Adults,
and the Family Traveler, LLC from any and all events, actions, failure to act, injuries, claims or damages of any kind
relating in any way to the planned trip or any aspect of the trip. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Trip
Planners, their families, all Responsible Adults and the Family Traveler, LLC from any financial obligation, damage,
claim(s), injury and/or liability of any nature incurred by any Traveler (including, but not limited to Seniors). You also
agree that the Trip Planners, their families, Responsible Adults, and the Family Traveler, LLC, cannot be held responsible
for any expenses, accidents, injuries or delays incurred or suffered by any Travelers whatever the reason or cause.
5.
Each Traveler, regardless of age, must have a valid passport, with at least 6 months remaining before expiration.
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE A VALID PASSPORT. COSTS FOR THIS TRIP ARE NONREFUNDABLE. YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO TRAVEL WITHOUT A VALID PASSPORT. APPLY NOW IF
YOU NEED TO OBTAIN A PASSPORT. CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATE OF YOUR PASSPORTS NOW.
6.
The legal age to drink alcohol in Mexico is 18. ALL TRAVELERS WHO CHOOSE TO DRINK ALCOHOL
AGREE TO DO SO RESPONSIBLY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW. IN ADDITION,
ALL TRAVELERS AGREE NOT TO BRING, ATTEMPT TO PURCHASE, OR PURCHASE ANY ILLEGAL
DRUGS OR CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES. TAKE STEPS IN ADVANCE OF TRAVEL TO DISCUSS THE
IMPORTANCE OF DRINKING AND ACTING RESPONSIBLY (INCLUDING WATCHING OUT FOR

FRIENDS). WE WILL BE OUT OF THE COUNTRY, SUBJECT TO THE LAWS OF MEXICO, NOT THE
UNITED STATES. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT TRAVELERS UNDERSTAND THIS AND DO NOT ACT IN
CONTRAVENTION OF APPLICABLE LAW.

7.
It is our strong preference that Travelers not leave the grounds of the Resort. Seniors who do not have
their own parents with them shall not leave the Resort (with the exception of an optional, planned group
snorkeling trip excursion).
8.
All Travelers agree to arrive at the airport for departure at a time to be designated in advance and to be
on time for transportation to and from the Cancun airport and the Resort in the manner designated by the Trip
Planners. The Trip Planners, Responsible Adults, and The Family Traveler, LLC will NOT be responsible for
costs incurred due to late Traveler(s).
9.
As noted previously, this trip is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or coordinated through Wootton High
School.
