The tour services described on this website, including without limitation

and other suppliers that are independent contractors and not the agents,
employed partners, or joint ventures of GPT. GPT issues tickets, vouchers, race
tickets and other travel documents for such services merely as an agent for the

other travel documents are subject to all terms and conditions of the respective
suppliers (some of which may limit or exclude the suppliers liability). GPT is
not responsible for typographical and/or printing errors. GPT nor any subagent,

weather, quarantine, sickness, government restriction or regulation, or any
other cause beyond its reasonable control. Circumstances beyond our control
could force us to alter, revise, or cancel any product outlined in this website.

we will attempt to offer an alternate product of similar standards. The tour
participant waives all rights that he or she may have against GPT in connection
with the foregoing. Terms and conditions are governed by California law and an
Orange County venue. Under no circumstances is GPT to be construed as a carrier
for safe carriage of the passenger or his or her baggage and belongings.
