Cancellation Fees are based on the trip’s advertised price amount, which is the minimum purchase amount to be considered a participant in the trip. In lieu of charging the member an additional 3% cancelation fee for the non-recoverable credit card expense paid to Club Express the fees shall be as follows:
• If the trip’s advertised price is $500 or less, the cancellation fee deducted from the participant’s refund shall be $50.
• If the trip’s advertised price is $501 - $1500, the cancellation fee deducted from the participant's refund shall be $75.

Cancellation Fees shall be credited to the trip’s account and may be used by the trip leader for the running of the trip.
No cancellation fee shall be charged to the participant if the trip has changed from what was originally advertised regarding dates, destination, mode of transportation, or if there has been a cost increase of more than 15 % from the originally advertised price. A trip participant may not sell their spot. If they are gifting their spot, they must pay for any associated expenses and notify the trip leader of their cancellation. Only the trip leader may sell or resell a trip spots.

Cancellations resulting in refunds are reported by the trip leader(s) to the Treasurer via the approved process and form. The Treasurer will then process the cancellation in the system and pay the refunds per the above policy.
Changes to a participant’s registration options may also result in a refund or additional expense to them. These changes shall be reported by the trip leaders to the Treasurer. The Treasurer and only the Treasurer, will then process the registration change and apply any refunds or recognize the additional expense as approved by the trip leader. Any refund due shall be paid soon after reconciliation of the trip’s income and expenses.
