Jamaica Tours – Website Terms of Use

Last updated:

Welcome to Jamaica Tours (the “Website”), located at www.jamaicatours.com. Jamaica Tours is an independent destination guide and travel-planning resource for the island of Jamaica. The Website provides editorial information, area and destination guides, and recommendations about things to do in Jamaica, and helps travelers who are ready to book connect with third-party tour operators, hotels, restaurants, and other providers.

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Website. Please read them carefully. If you do not accept these Terms, please do not use the Website. We may change or otherwise modify these Terms at any time, at our sole discretion, without prior notice, and your continued access to or use of the Website signifies your acceptance of the updated Terms.

1. Our Role – Please Read

Jamaica Tours is an information and referral resource only. We do not own, operate, manage, or control any tour, excursion, activity, hotel, restaurant, transportation service, or other offering described or linked on the Website, and we do not sell or provide those services ourselves.

• Tours and excursions. When you choose to book a tour or excursion featured on the Website, you are transferred to and transact directly with a third-party tour operator — our booking partner, Island Routes Caribbean Adventures, or another operator we link to. That operator, and not Jamaica Tours, is the provider and merchant of record. Your reservation, payment, confirmation, and any changes are handled by that operator under its own terms and conditions, which are presented to you at the time of booking.
• Hotels, restaurants, and other vendors. For accommodations, dining, and other vendors, the Website provides editorial listings and links only. Any inquiry, reservation, or purchase is made directly between you and that third party, under its own terms.
• Commissions and affiliate links. We may earn a commission or affiliate fee when you book or purchase through links on the Website. This does not change the price you pay, and our editorial recommendations are made independently.

Your use of the Website does not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and Jamaica Tours.

2. No Payments Are Processed by Jamaica Tours

Jamaica Tours does not collect payment, charge your payment card, or process any booking transaction. All payments are made directly to the relevant tour operator or third-party provider. Some banks and card issuers impose fees for cross-border transactions; any such fee is determined solely by your bank or card company, and Jamaica Tours takes no responsibility for it. Please contact your bank directly with any questions about these fees.

3. Bookings, Cancellations, and Refunds

Because Jamaica Tours does not sell or fulfill bookings, all reservation, cancellation, refund, change, and rescheduling policies are set and administered by the third-party tour operator or provider you book with, and are presented to you at the time of booking. Please review those policies before you book. Jamaica Tours cannot make, modify, cancel, or refund a booking on your behalf, and is not responsible for any operator's or provider's policies or how they are applied.

4. Contents of This Site

While we strive to provide current and accurate information, content on the Website — including descriptions, availability, prices, and promotions offered by third parties — is subject to change and is not guaranteed to be free from errors. Prices and availability are set by the relevant operator or provider and are confirmed at the time of booking. Unless otherwise specified, prices referenced on the Website are in U.S. Dollars. Promotions referenced on the Website may be changed or withdrawn at any time.

5. Third-Party Links and Content

The Website contains links to websites, services, and content operated by third parties that we do not control. These links and listings are provided for your convenience and information only and do not imply endorsement, sponsorship, warranty, or any responsibility on our part. We are not responsible for the content, products, services, availability, policies, or practices of any third party, or for any transaction or interaction between you and a third party. Your dealings with any third party are solely between you and that party.

6. No Unlawful or Prohibited Use

As a condition of your use of the Website, you warrant that you will not use the Website for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms or by any applicable law or regulation.

7. Reviews, Comments, and Other Submissions

We appreciate hearing from you. By submitting content to the Website — including reviews, questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, photographs, or similar materials (collectively, “Submissions”) — you grant Jamaica Tours and its affiliates and content partners a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, transferable, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, distribute, publish, create derivative works from, and publicly display and perform such Submissions throughout the world in any media now known or later developed, and to use the name you submit in connection with the Submission. You acknowledge that we may provide attribution at our discretion and that Submissions are non-confidential and non-proprietary. We have no obligation to post any Submission and may remove or decline to publish any Submission at our sole discretion.

You are solely responsible for the content of your Submissions. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting to or from the Website any material that: (i) is unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, or that violates any right of publicity or privacy or any law; (ii) is commercial in nature (including solicitation of funds, advertising, or marketing of goods or services); or (iii) infringes, misappropriates, or violates any copyright, trademark, patent, or other proprietary right of any third party. You shall be solely liable for any damages resulting from a violation of the foregoing. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not provide us with any Submissions.

8. Intellectual Property

All editorial material on the Website — including text, graphics, logos, photographs, and design, except for content owned by third parties — is the property of Jamaica Tours or its content providers and may not be used, reproduced, copied, modified, or distributed, in whole or in part, without prior written consent. All third-party trademarks, service marks, and logos are the property of their respective owners.

9. Assumption of Risk and Operator Responsibility

Some tours and activities are physically demanding and may not be suitable for everyone, including the infirm, individuals with heart conditions, women who are pregnant, or persons with certain physical conditions. Tour times, dates, and availability are determined by the operator and may vary based on volume or availability.

The third-party tour operators and providers featured or linked on the Website are independent contractors. They are solely responsible for their own acts and omissions and for the services they provide. Jamaica Tours does not operate any tour, excursion, activity, accommodation, dining, or transportation service, and assumes no responsibility for any injury, loss, damage, illness, or accident sustained in connection with any service featured or linked on the Website — including any that occurs before, during, or after a tour or while traveling to or from it. Participation in any activity is voluntary and at your own risk, and certain activities (such as cliff diving, climbing, or water activities) carry inherent risks that you assume.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. You acknowledge and agree that Jamaica Tours, together with its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, insurers, directors, officers, employees, successors, assigns, agents, and representatives, shall not be liable to you for any liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs, or expenses, in any circumstances, arising out of or relating to:

• any personal injury or property damage arising out of or caused by any act or omission of any guest, tour operator, or other third-party provider;
• emotional distress, mental suffering, or psychological injury of any kind; or
• any consequential, incidental, punitive, or exemplary damages.

This includes, without limitation, claims arising out of or caused by food or drink consumed at, or services provided by, third-party operators or vendors. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Jamaica Tours and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the Website, your Submissions, your dealings with any third-party operator or provider, or your violation of these Terms or any applicable law.

12. Special Requests and Accessibility

Jamaica Tours cannot guarantee that any operator or provider will satisfy special requests, or that transfer vehicles or tour sites are wheelchair accessible. Such matters are handled by the relevant operator or provider directly, and any accommodation may be subject to additional cost determined by that operator or provider.

13. Compliance with Local Law

You are responsible for knowing, obeying, and complying with the laws and regulations of your destination. Neither Jamaica Tours nor any tour operator or provider has a duty to inform or warn you about a destination's laws or regulations.

14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This agreement is governed by the laws of Jamaica, and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of Jamaica for all disputes arising out of or relating to your use of the Website. Claims against a third-party tour operator or provider are governed by that operator's or provider's own terms and by the laws of the country in which the relevant tour, excursion, or service is operated. Use of the Website is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these Terms.



15. Modification of These Terms

Jamaica Tours reserves the right to change the terms, conditions, and notices under which the Website is offered. You agree to be bound by the Terms in effect at the time of your use of the Website.

16. General

If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original, and the remainder of these Terms will continue in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.

Our collection and use of personal information in connection with the Website is described in our Privacy Policy.
