Common use of Cancellation or Withdrawal Clause in Contracts

Cancellation or Withdrawal. a. I understand that if for any reason, I decide to return prematurely, I am responsible for all repercussions and accept any consequences and/or fees associated with my premature return, including but not limited to, paying any outstanding balances to the University of the Incarnate Word and/or third party entities in connection with the program, receiving failing or incomplete grades, arranging travelling independently of the group. b. I understand that if I decide to stop attending classes and/ or participating with the group and no longer allowed to participate with the group, due to, but not limited to, poor academic performance in the class, violations of host/home country laws or UIW Code of Conduct, not meeting my financial responsibilities, etc. and/or the lead professor (or program coordinator(s)) decision, I will be considered an independent traveler. If I am expelled from the student organization international activity, program and/or excursion while abroad, I acknowledge that the University will not provide room, board and travel, and I will be responsible for securing my own return transportation, travel, room and board. As an independent traveler, I agree to indemnify and hold harmless, waive and covenant not to sue UIW and its Board of Trustees, officers, employees, and representatives from liability for the injury or death of me or any person(s) and damage to property that may result from my or another person’s negligent or intentional act or omission while participating in the Program or as an independent traveler and/or any travel incident thereto. c. I understand if I do not participate in the travel portion of the student organization international activity, program and/or excursion after having paid all or any portion of the travel costs involved, or if I am required to involuntarily return home without completing the travel portion of the program, that no deposits or money that I have paid toward the travel portion will be refunded. I authorize the University of the Incarnate Word to charge my account for any nonrefundable costs that the University has incurred on my behalf.
