If the actual cost is less than the amount paid, the difference will be refunded.
You will also be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us and all costs incurred by us (including our own and the other party’s full legal costs) as a result of your actions.

9.5. Seatbelts
Laws relating to the wearing of seatbelt may be non-existent or not enforced in some countries and therefore local people largely choose not to wear them.
For this reason, local service providers may or may not have seatbelts in vehicles or they may be hidden between seats or underneath protective seat covers.
It is expected that where seatbelts are available customers must use them and remain seated at all times while the vehicle is moving.
As such, customers acknowledge that seatbelts may not be available and therefore travel at their own risk.
9.6. Airport Transfers
Upon arrival to Amman Queen Alia International airport, you will pass through immigration, baggage claim and customs. As you exit customs into the public arrivals hall, please be on the lookout for our representative, who will be holding a Map Tours logo signboard. Our representative will introduce you to our driver, who will transfer you to your hotel. At the hotel reception desk, please take note of the Tours information sign on the counter which will tell you what time our Amman representative will be in the hotel lobby to meet with you and discuss the details of your touring to give you our informative welcome letter and to answer any questions you may have.

These vary according to each hotel. Generally, your accommodation check in is 14:00 and check out 12:00.
