INTRODUCTION
We are Tight Line Trips, LLC (sometimes referred to hereafter as “Tight Line Trips,” “TLT,” “we,” or “our”), and we are excited to assist you with your travel and trip-planning needs. The following Terms and Conditions describe what you, the undersigned client (“Client”), can expect from us. By booking with Tight Line Trips, Client agrees to the following Terms and Conditions. Tight Line Trips reserves the right to change these Terms and Conditions at any time. Please review our website for the most current version: www.tightlinetrips.com
​
SECTION 1 — SCOPE OF SERVICES, RELATIONSHIPS & SUPPLIER DISCLOSURES
(1) AFFILIATE, HOST AGENCY, AND THIRD-PARTY BOOKING DISCLOSURE
Tight Line Trips, LLC operates as an independent travel advisory business affiliated with Ralston Consulting, LLC and under the host-agency umbrella of Fora Travel, Inc. (“Fora”), a registered Seller of Travel. Certain reservations, itinerary components, ticketing services, and advisor-support functions may be processed, fulfilled, or otherwise facilitated through Fora.
​
Client acknowledges and agrees that TLT may, in its sole discretion, book, arrange, or procure travel services both through the Fora platform and outside of the Fora platform, including but not limited to lodges, outfitters, guides, transportation providers, accommodations, and other third-party travel suppliers (“Suppliers”). Direct booking may be utilized when a Supplier does not participate in the Fora system, when direct arrangements are required to secure availability or specialized pricing, or when TLT determines that such booking method is necessary or appropriate.
​
All travel components booked—whether through Fora or directly with a Supplier—are subject to the Supplier’s own terms and conditions, including without limitation cancellation policies, change fees, liability limitations, and operational requirements. Client agrees that TLT is not responsible for any acts, omissions, financial condition, service failures, negligence, or breach by any Supplier. By engaging TLT, Client expressly authorizes TLT to utilize Fora, Ralston Consulting, and/or direct Supplier channels for the purpose of arranging and fulfilling Client’s travel plans.
​
SECTION 2 — CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES & LEGAL ELIGIBILITY
(2) AGE, ELIGIBILITY & LEGAL CAPACITY

TLT reserves the right to refuse service to any individual who does not meet these eligibility requirements.
​
(3) DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS:
(a) Travel documentation appropriate for entry to your itinerary destinations—such as passports, visas, vaccination certificates, etc.—remains the Client’s sole responsibility. Tight Line Trips will advise on documentation requirements; however, it is ultimately the Client’s duty to ensure all required documents and immunizations are complete before travel. Travelers who do not meet mandatory entry requirements may be denied boarding or entry, and TLT is not responsible for any resulting loss. (b) Valid passports are required for all international travel. Passports must remain valid for at least six (6) months beyond your return date. (c) Certain destinations require visas and/or proof of vaccinations. Clients should regularly review the U.S. State Department’s website at https://travel.state.gov for advisories, documentation requirements, and travel warnings. Clients should also consult the Centers for Disease Control (www.cdc.gov) and the International Society of Travel Medicine (www.istm.org) for up-to-date health requirements. Refusal to comply with such medical or entry regulations may result in denied entry or loss of trip costs. (d) Entry requirements vary by country and can be impacted by prior criminal records, including DUI or DWI offenses. TLT does not inquire into Clients’ backgrounds and bears no responsibility for any travel restrictions or losses arising from prior legal matters.
​
SECTION 3 — RISK, SAFETY & ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITY
