Terms of Service and Online Release of Liability and Waiver
Acceptance of this Agreement. You will have accepted this Agreement and be bound by its terms if you use the Brew Cruz services or otherwise indicate your affirmative acceptance of such services.
Definitions. The terms “Passenger” or “Passengers” and “Customer” or “Customers” shall include customers of the Brew Cruz and occupants of the Brew Cruz bus. The term “Brew Cruz Event” shall mean scheduled brewery tours or other tours operated by the Brew Cruz, private Brewery and other tours operated by the Brew Cruz, and bus charters contracted with the Brew Cruz. The term “Employees” shall refer to any employees, drivers, hosts, or people associated with the Brew Cruz, including but not limited to its owner.
Refund / Cancellation Policy. Because we reserve seats for you and must turn away other customers once you've made a booking, our cancellation policy and reschedule policy is as follows:
For regularly scheduled individual trips on a Public Tour, if Brew Cruz is notified 5 days prior to your trip, a 50% refund will be given, with no refunds after that. Brew Cruz can host tours as long as a minimum of 4 passengers or more are aboard. If for some reason we do not reach that amount, we will notify you ASAP, and offer either a full refund, or an opportunity to schedule for another tour.
For Private Tours or Charters, all deposits are non-refundable. If Brew Cruz is notified 5 days prior to your trip, the second half of your payment will be cancelled/not charged. For ticket transfers of previously scheduled guests to new guests, please notify Brew Cruz at least 48 hours ahead of time with the new guest information.
Cancellations can be made by emailing us at annie@scbrewcruz.com or by calling 831.222.0120.
Missing the Bus. Brew Cruz will not offer a refund or trip credit for arriving late for pickup and missing the bus for any reason. Please, arrive early for pickup, don't miss the bus and lose your money. If you arrive late for a tour and miss the bus, you can try and meet us at our first stop by taking a taxi there at your expense.
Cancellations by Us. We reserve the right to cancel a tour if less than 4 passengers have booked the Public Tour and less than 8 passengers have booked a Private Tour on Betty Jane. If the minimum passenger count is not met and we elect to cancel the tour, Brew Cruz will inform you of the cancellation at least 24 hours in advance of your scheduled tour. In the case of Public Tours, the notification may be 2 hours prior to your scheduled departure. In the case of cancellations for the Public Tour, you will be given the choice of receiving a full refund or rescheduling your reservation. In the case of cancellations for the Private Tour, you will not receive a refund if you do not meet the minimum number of passengers (8) needed, but will be given the opportunity to reschedule for a later date.
Drunk or Disorderly Passengers. If you arrive for the tour intoxicated then you will not be allowed to participate in the tour, and your ticket price will not be refunded. If you become over-intoxicated or unruly while on the tour, you will be asked to leave the tour without a refund. If you are not allowed back on the bus, you will be responsible for any costs incurred to get back to your destination or drop off point. The Brew Cruz tour guide/driver will determine what is considered intoxicated at his/her discretion.
Damages to the Bus. Each Passenger on the Brew Cruz agrees to be personally and financially responsible for any damages caused by such Passenger to the Brew Cruz bus or any equipment, including but not limited to stains, spills, dents, scratches, or any other physical damage to the bus or its equipment.
