$10 Million Customer Protection Plan
For your peace of mind Monograms provides not just one, but two financial plans for your protection-the $10 Million Consumer Protection Plan AND the USTOA Travelers Assistance Program. Monograms has provided a $10 million letter of credit issued by a leading bank to protect payments made by its customers for all vacation departures. This is in addition to the $1 million consumer protection plan maintained by the United States Tour Operators Association (USTOA), see below. In these uncertain times, Monograms feels it is important to assure their customers and their travel partners that Monograms Tours are financially secure and that they back their products 100%.
The $10 million letter of credit has been issued by Credit Suisse S.A. in favor of PRO-CLAIM INC., of Highlands Ranch, Colorado, acting as trustee of a trust for the benefit of Globus, Cosmos and Monograms customers who advance deposits or payments for any Globus or Cosmos tour departure sold in the United States. PRO-CLAIM, INC., as trustee of the trust, is responsible for refunding deposits or payments (excluding deposits or payments made by credit cards, since chargebacks are available), for Globus, Cosmos and Monograms tours sold in the United States in the event Group Voyagers Inc., d/b/a Globus, Cosmos and Monograms, becomes insolvent, bankrupt or ceases business.

Monograms, as an Active Member of USTOA, is required to post $1 Million with USTOA to be used to reimburse, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the USTOA Travelers Assistance Program, the advance payments of Monograms customers in the unlikely event of Monograms bankruptcy, insolvency or cessation of business.
