the following statement: If transportation or other services
are canceled by the seller of travel, all sums paid to
the seller of travel for services not performed in accordance
with the contract between the seller of travel and the
purchaser will be refunded within thirty days of
receiving the funds from the vendor with whom the services
were arranged, or if the funds were not sent to the
vendor, the funds shall be returned within fourteen

California: The
Seller of Travel Program, Office of the Attorney, requires
the following statements: Ubiquity International is
registered with the California Seller of Travel Program,
Office of the Attorney General as Ubiquity Lectures
International, registration number 2070359-40. California
law requires certain sellers of travel to have a trust
account. This business has a trust account. UI is required
to deposit 100% of all customer funds into this trust
account. Registration as a seller of travel does not
constitute approval by the State of California. |
| Upon cancellation of the transportation
or travel services, where the passenger is not at fault
and has not canceled in violation of any terms and conditions
previously clearly and conspicuously disclosed and agreed
to by the passenger, all sums paid to the seller of travel
for services not provided will be promptly paid to the
passenger, unless the passenger advises the seller of
travel in writing, after cancellation. This provision
does not apply where the seller of travel has remitted
the payment to another registered wholesale seller of
travel or a carrier, without obtaining a refund, and
where the wholesaler or provider defaults in providing
the agreed-upon transportation or service. In this situation,
the seller of travel must provide the passenger with
a written statement accompanied by bank records establishing
the disbursement of the payment, and if disbursed to
a wholesale seller of travel, proof of current registration
of that wholesaler. |
For those who purchase travel from
UI in California, the following applies.
This transaction is covered by the California Travel
Consumer Restitution Fund (TCRF) if the seller of travel
was registered and participating in TCRF at the time
of sale and the passenger is located in California
at the time of payment. Eligible passengers may file
a claim with TCRF if the passenger is owed a refund
of more than 50% for the transportation or travel services
which the seller of travel failed to forward to a proper
provider or such money was not refunded to you when
required. The maximum amount which may be paid by the
TCRF to any one passenger is the total amount paid
on behalf of the passenger to the seller of travel,
not to exceed $15,000. A claim must be submitted to
the TCRF within six months after the scheduled completion
date of the travel. A claim must include sufficient
documentation to prove your claim and a $35 processing
fee. Claimants must agree to waive their right to other
civil remedies against a registered participating seller
of travel for matters arising out of a sale for which
you file a TCRF claim. You may request a claim form
by writing to:
Travel Consumer Restitution Corporation
P. O. Box 6001
Larkspur, CA 94977-6001
or by faxing a request to: (415) 927-7698. For those who purchase travel from
