In such cases, you are entitled to a full refund of the original purchase price.

Ciao purchases transportation and other services from a variety of independent entities on behalf of its clients.

If you wish further protection, you agree that you are responsible for purchasing comprehensive travel and emergency medical insurance that will cover all expenses related to trip cancellation; loss of personal effects; medical expenses; and other issues related to personal injury, death, property damage, or other loss, accident, delay, inconvenience or irregularity.
You understand that unforeseen events beyond the immediate control of Ciao may occur, such as flight/train/boat/other transportation cancellations, and other unexpected schedule changes. You agree that Ciao is not responsible for such unanticipated and uncontrollable changes, and that any expenses resulting from such changes would be your sole responsibility, although you further understand that you may be eligible to recoup such costs from your travel insurance carrier. You hereby agree that everyone in your party, including yourself, is of adequate health, and no one has any physical condition or disability that could prevent them from taking part in the scheduled travel activities.
You agree to take full responsibility for your own and the members of your party’s actions, safety and welfare, including unanticipated events including injury, illness, theft, emotional trauma, death and Acts of God. You hereby release and discharge Ciao and its agents and employees from and against any and all liability arising from your participation in services offered by Ciao. You agree that these terms will be legally binding upon you, your heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives, it being your intention to fully assume all risk of travel and to release Ciao from any and all liabilities to the maximum extent permitted by law.
