The Spring Break Direct Cancellation Protection Plan guarantees a full refund (less the cost of insurance) for travel arrangements provided by Spring Break Direct.com, Inc., in the event of cancellation up to scheduled departure time due to sickness or injury (that prevents you from travel, as deemed by a physician), or death to you or for life-threatening sickness or injury, or death to your immediate family member.

Immediate family member
is defined as your (or your traveling companion's) spouse, spouse's child, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, brother, sister, mother, father, grandparents, grandchildren, step-siblings, stepparents, parents-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, guardian or ward.

Traveling companion
is defined as a person whose name appears on the same trip arrangement and who will share accommodations with you during the course of your Spring Break Direct vacation.

Stipulations
This plan begins when full payment is received and cannot be added to an existing reservation more than three days from booking date. The Spring Break Direct Cancellation Protection Plan Cost is non-refundable and valid for each person who has paid the plan cost only.
Spring Break Direct Cancellation Protection Plan DOES NOT GUARD AGAINST OCCUPANCY SURCHARGES. Therefore, if one person cancels 15 days or more prior to scheduled departure, the remaining traveler(s) are responsible for paying occupancy surcharges. If you cancel less than 15 days prior to scheduled departure, occupancy surcharges for the remaining traveler(s) will be deducted from your refund.

Written notification of cancellation must be received in our office by registered mail, facsimile transmission, or overnight courier service NO LATER THAN THE SCHEDULED DEPARTURE in order to be covered by Spring Break Direct Cancellation Protection Plan. In addition, written verification by a physician of inability to travel, or onset (since travel purchase) of, or sudden change in, life-threatening sickness, life threatening injury, or death of an immediate family member must be received in our office by registered mail, facsimile transmission or overnight courier service NO LATER THAN 24 HOURS AFTER SCHEDULED DEPARTURE. Failure to follow these instructions invalidates the Plan.
