Carrier schedule changes can occur without notice even after tickets have been issued; therefore, you are responsible for re-confirming both outbound and return transportation departure times and (requisite check-in times). Likewise carrier capacities are outside of STFU’s control and therefore STFU cannot guaranty that you will be traveling with your group to and from your Vacation Package or Trip Package destination, and the inability to do so shall not be a breach of STFU’s obligations to you, nor serve as grounds for cancellation of your Reservation.

STFU shall have no liability for any travel delays to or from your Vacation Package and/Trip destination or by reason of any Vacation Package or Trip transportation originating from or returning to any airport that is considered a “co-terminal” to your requested departure/return city as set forth in your Reservation (even if such “co-terminal” is different from that set forth in your Reservation.  Departure dates and times may change. Carrier is not responsible for delays caused by breakdowns, road conditions, sea conditions, weather or other conditions beyond carrier’s reasonable control.

STFU does not authorize nor condone the use of alcohol or any illegal drugs or narcotics, and does not permit the use of alcohol by those under the applicable legal drinking age and does not authorize nor condone the possession and/or use of illegal drugs and/or narcotics, and any violation by you of these restrictions could result in the early termination of your Vacation Package and/or Trip and your removal from same in accordance with Section XVII above.
