This policy assures accurate and consistent information to the public.
  15. Advertising and Promotional Materials: To promote the products, services and opportunities Gulliver's Travels offers, an ITA must only use the sales aids and support materials produced and or approved by Gulliver's Travels. Gulliver's Travels carefully designs promotional materials and they remain in legal compliance. This is done to ensure each aspect of Gulliver's Travels is fair, standard throughout and complies with the vast and complex legal requirements of Federal, State, Local and International laws.

    For this reason, ITAs are strictly prohibited from developing, distributing or selling their own sales aids, promotional materials and other literature without the written consent of the Gulliver's Travels Compliance Department. The only exception is the personalized business cards which must still meet criteria defined hereinafter.

This service and recurring charge will only terminate on the date in which Gulliver's Travels receives the signed cancellation form and all identification cards issued, i.e. Gulliver's Travels identification card, CLIA and IATAN card. The ITA will continue to be charged the monthly fee until the requested items are received. Please be advised, Premium Service and the Gulliver's Travels identification card are non-refundable.

    Involuntary Termination: Any ITA in violation of these Policies and Procedures based upon the seriousness of the violation, past conduct and the Compliance Department's internal investigation, will result in probation, suspension or termination. This decision shall be at the Company's sole discretion. If Gulliver's Travels determines the violation warrants a probation, the ITA will be placed on probation for a length of time determined by the Compliance Department.

Please be advised, Website hosting will remain active through anniversary date, and is non-refundable.

    An ITA business may be inherited or bequeathed. It may be sold or transferred to a recipient (or their immediate family) who is not currently, nor ever has been, a Gulliver’s Travels ITA. ITAs interested in selling/transferring their ITA business must complete a Request for the Sale/Transfer of ITA Business form in its entirety. The originating ITA will be billed a $100.00 administrative fee for the sale of their ITA business.

  19. Trade Shows and Expositions: All Trade Show participation must be registered and approved by Gulliver's Travels Compliance Department by submitting a Request for Trade Show Attendance Registration.

    An ITA may offer prospects access to website bookings at the event from ITA's website. ITA is strictly prohibited from receiving money for any travel reservation, or offering quotes other then what is displayed on the website.
  20. Conflict of Interest: For a period of one year after the cancellation (cancellation may be either voluntary, involuntary, through non-renewal, inactivity or termination) of an individual or entity's ITA service, the ex-ITA shall not directly or through a third party solicit any Gulliver's Travels ITA or customer for any other travel marketing system or opportunity. This provision shall survive the termination or cancellation of the ITA's service. If the solicitation of the ITA or customer is performed by a third party outside the Gulliver's Travels Independent Travel Agent System, Gulliver's Travels will undertake any and all legal actions necessary to be compensated for the irreparable harm caused by the unauthorized solicitation.
  21. Governmental Approval or Endorsement: No Federal, State or Local regulatory agencies or officials 'approve' or 'endorse' a marketing company or system. ITAs shall not represent or imply Gulliver's Travels has been 'approved,' 'endorsed' or otherwise sanctioned by any government agency, except for published licenses where applicable.
  22. Income Taxes: Gulliver's Travels provides an IRS Form 1099 MISC. (Non-employee Compensation) earnings statement to each ITA who had earnings of over $600.00 in the previous calendar year.
  23. Independent Contractor Status: ITAs are independent contractors and are not purchasers of a franchise. The agreement between Gulliver's Travels and its ITAs does not create an employer/employee relationship, agency, partnership or joint venture between the Company and the ITA. ITAs shall not be treated as employees for their services or for Federal, State or Local tax purposes. All ITAs are responsible for paying any applicable taxes due from all compensation earned as an ITA. An ITA has no authority, expressed or implied, to bind the company to any obligation. Each ITA is encouraged to establish his or her own goals, hours and methods of sale, providing he or she complies with the terms of the Policies and Procedures and any applicable laws.
  24. International Marketing: Because of critical legal and tax considerations, including, but not limited to, compliance with foreign laws regarding approval, registration, regulations regarding statements, taxes, literature content and language requirements, ITAs are authorized to sell Gulliver's Travels services only in the countries in which Gulliver's Travels is authorized to conduct business, as announced in official company literature.
  25. Compliance with Federal, State, Local and International Laws: ITAs shall comply with all Federal, State, Local and International laws in the conduct of their business. The violation or attempted violation of any such law or regulation, or fraudulent or deceptive conduct, shall be grounds for disciplinary action by Gulliver's Travels.
  26. Minors: A Minor is a person who is not of legal age, as recognized by the state or province in which they reside to enter a legal and binding contract. Minors are, therefore, ineligible to participate as an ITA, regardless of an adult with legal guardianship granting permission. No one under eighteen (18) years of age, in any jurisdiction, shall be permitted to become an ITA.
  27. Release for use of Photographic, Audio, Video Image, and/or Testimonial Endorsement: All ITAs hereby grant to Gulliver's Travels and its successors, assigns, employees and agents, the absolute and irrevocable right and permission, with respect to any photograph, audio and/or video picture taken of them, or in which they may be included with others, and with respect to any testimonial endorsement:

    (a) To use, reuse, broadcast, rebroadcast, publish, or republish such photograph, audio, video, or endorsement, in all or in part, individually or in conjunction with any other photograph or video, or any other endorsement, in any current or future medium and for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to: marketing, advertising, promotion, and/or publicity.
    (b) In the case of visual representations, to copyright such photograph and/or video, in the original or as republished, in the name of Gulliver's Travels, Inc., or in any other name. ITAs hereby confirm the information given by them as a testimonial endorsement, or represented in a photograph, video or audio is true and accurate to the best of their knowledge. By submitting the testimonial, the ITA hereby waives any right they may have to inspect or approve the finished or unfinished product or products, the advertising copy, printed, recorded, photographic or video matter which may be used in connection therewith, or the use to which it may be applied.
    (c) ITAs hereby release and discharge Gulliver's Travels and their successors, assigns, employees, and agents, from any and all liability, claim and/or demand arising out of or in connection with the creation and the use of the above-mentioned photograph, video, audio or endorsement, including any claim for defamation. This includes, but is not limited to, telephonic recordings at Corporate Offices made for training or quality control purposes.
  28. Booking Payments: Forms of payment for airline tickets, cruise reservations, tour reservations, hotel reservations and rental cars are as follows:

    • Wire Transfer
    • Certified Bank Check
    • Money Order Check made payable to Gulliver's Travels
    • American Express Credit Card
    • Discover Credit Card
    • MasterCard Credit Card
    • Visa Credit Card

    Please be advised, personal checks require ten days to clear the bank. Gulliver's Travels must be in possession of full cleared payment for any documents or tickets issued; therefore, there can be NO fare guarantees during this hold for payment period. Some suppliers may restrict credit cards accepted and may refuse credit card payment on special rates. Gulliver's Travels charges fees to process airline tickets, as the airline industry does not offer commissions. However, if ITA has Premium Service, Gulliver's Travels does pay $2.50 for all non-commissionable airline tickets.
  29. Commission Structure: Gulliver's Travels shall pay commissions to said ITA in accordance with the Gulliver's Travels Independent Travel Agent System. Assuming payment by the vendor is made to Gulliver's Travels in a timely manner, Gulliver's Travels receives commissions from various travel suppliers and vendors approximately 30 to 90 days after a trip is completed. Gulliver's Travels issues the ITA commissions after the 25th of the following month. Vendor commissions are calculated on the base fare of the cruise, air, train, etc. and are not paid on taxes, Airport Fees, Cruise Port Charges, or any other fees not related to the actual fare for passage.

    ITAs receive 25% of the commission Gulliver's Travels received from the vendor on Call Center bookings and 40% of commission Gulliver's Travels received from the vendor on website bookings (if travel is available to be booked on the website). Premium and Executive Members receive 50%, 65% respectively of paid commissions whether booked on the web site or through the call center.

    If an ITA resigns or their business is terminated, any travel booked, but not yet paid for or taken by date of resignation and/or termination, commissions resulting from said travel booking are forfeited.

    Average Industry Commissions:
    Domestic Airlines: none
    Select International Airlines: 3-8%
    Cars and Hotels: 5% - 10%
    Tours and Groups: 10% - 15%
    Cruises: 12% - 15%
    Gulliver's Preferred Vendors: 17% - 20%

    Commissions cannot be requested or received by the ITA directly from the vendor. An ITA requesting or receiving commissions will be automatically terminated. ITA will be fined and commissions will be withheld.
  30. Monthly Auto-Ship System: Under this System, the ITA authorizes Gulliver's Travels to have a specified dollar amount drafted automatically from their checking account or credit card account. This amount is based upon monthly fee for Premium Service and includes annual maintenance fees.
  31. Returned Checks: All checks returned by an ITA's bank for insufficient funds will not be re-submitted for payment. A $45.00 returned check fee will be charged.
  32. Charge-Backs: ITAs agree they will not resolve billing disputes through the issuance of charge backs to their credit cards. All billing disputes must be handled by contacting the ITA Services Department or ITA Services Manager at Gulliver's Travels. If unable to achieve resolution through these channels, the ITA should contact the Compliance Department. Charge-backs are costly to the company including loss of revenue and product and fees charged by the credit card companies. Failure to follow these procedures will result in termination of the ITA's business.

    An ITA who files a charge-back without first allowing Gulliver's Travels to resolve the dispute internally, will have their ITA business terminated. Filing a false charge-back claim rather then using the normal refund procedure may result in civil charges being filed by Gulliver's Travels against the offending party.
  33. Investigations: Investigations are conducted by the Gulliver's Travels Compliance Department to protect the ITAs, consumers and the company against negative publicity, legal ramifications or financial hardship and to ensure the adherence to the corporate guidelines outlined in these Policies and Procedures. Investigations are a non-biased collection and examination of facts and circumstances surrounding a particular action, event, or individual where there is reason to believe a violation of the Gulliver's Travels Policies and Procedures has occurred.

    In order to resolve any issues in a timely manner, ITAs agree to cooperate fully and provide complete and accurate information to the investigator. Failure to cooperate fully and in a timely manner, whether the subject of the investigation or an ancillary witness, may result in sanctions against the ITA's business.
  34. Seller of Travel Laws: California, Hawaii, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, Rhode Island, and Washington State require all travel agencies to register as a Seller of Travel and to comply with bonding and/or trust account requirements for sales to clients located in those states where Gulliver's Travels services are promoted. ITAs are required to place Gulliver's Travels Seller of Travel Registration Number on all marketing materials and or business cards used to promote Gulliver's Travels services. ITAs will not accept direct payment of any monies from any client but will refer all transactions, booking and processing of funds to be completed at the Gulliver's Travels website and/or Gulliver's Travels Call Center. Accordingly, ITAs shall either comply with the foregoing requirements or shall register as a Seller of Travel under the applicable state law or laws. Although there are thousands of governing laws and statutes on the books in the numerous jurisdictions in which ITAs operate, there is one critical new state law which requires specific publication in these Policies and Procedures, to wit: ITAs residing in Florida will be required to complete a Sellers of Travel Independent Sales Agents - Statement of Exemption annually.
  35. Travel Services Terms and Conditions (reservations, bookings, purchases): The ITA agrees to abide by the terms and conditions of purchase imposed by any vendor/supplier the ITA elects to deal with. All terms and conditions will apply, including cancellation and deposit policies, when purchasing products and services from vendors and or suppliers. Gulliver's Travels assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions from vendors and or suppliers. Gulliver's Travels requests travelers to review and evaluate all travel prohibitions, warnings and advisories issued by the government before booking travel to international destinations. By offering sales to international destinations, Gulliver's Travels does not represent or warrant said travel is advisable or without risk, nor does Gulliver's Travels assume liability.
  36. Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Venue: Jurisdiction and venue of any matter not subject to arbitration shall reside in Sarasota County, Florida, U.S.A. The law of the State of Florida shall govern all disputes arising from the Agreement.
