Terms of Service

Last updated: July 2026

These terms govern the private travel planning, experiences, and hosting services provided by Elevate. By booking with us, you agree to the following.

Inquiries & bookings

All inquiries are subject to availability. A booking is confirmed only once a deposit has been received to hold your dates. Until then, your dates are not reserved.

Pricing & payment

Each itinerary is quoted individually based on the experience you request, and presented as a single fee for the services Elevate provides, rather than a list of parts. Payment is processed securely through Stripe.

What’s included

Guiding, a tailored itinerary, and the reservations Elevate arranges on your behalf. Guests cover their own meals; where Erika joins an activity with you, guests cover her portion. Hotels and transportation are not booked by Elevate, though we’re glad to advise.

Third-party reservations

Certain venues require their own terms, which are passed through to you at the time of booking so your reservation is clear and protected.

Cancellations

More than 7 days before your booking: 50% refund. Within 7 days: no refund. Flexible rescheduling within a reasonable time frame can often be arranged. We recommend travel insurance.

Liability

Elevate acts as your planner and host. Participation in any activity is at your own discretion and risk. We are not responsible for the acts, errors, or omissions of independent third-party providers beyond our reasonable control.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Japan.
