11. DECLARATION

Any dispute or claim against the sponsor will be subject to the sponsor agreement, and may be exclusively arbitrated in a specific location within the USA. I know of no reason why I may be refused a visa (e.g. have been arrested or convicted of a crime; have applied to migrate to the US; previously experienced US visa/immigration problems; or have overstayed on a previous visit). If I suspect that I may have problems, I will disclose these reasons in writing to the J1 team. If a visa is refused for reasons previously undisclosed, no refund will be given.

You agree that it is your intention to gain seasonal, casual employment in the USA, and to engage in US cultural activities outside of your working hours.

Should all spaces on the program be filled, you will be contacted when one becomes available. The participant understands that availability for a space on the program can fluctuate throughout the year and the closer it gets to the departure date, the less likely it will be to restore a cancelled application.

This must be done on the visa sponsor’s application.

The sponsor will then support your entry to the United States, provide support to you via email and phone and ensure your continued compliance with the US state department.

Whilst start dates can never be guaranteed, we work closely with the visa sponsor to ensure your application is processed as quickly as possible. The participant understands that they are responsible for completing their application in a timely manner and that delays in completing any of the tasks above could result in a later start date than originally planned.

On average, an application can take 13 weeks from the moment a participant signs up to when they receive their DS-2019. Because of this, it is strongly encouraged that all applicants apply to our program as early as possible and before the end of January. Guarantees can’t be made, but this will give a participant the best chance of securing the visa in time for their proposed start date.

Termination/withdrawal from the program • Withdrawal from the program means that the visa sponsor will withdraw your sponsorship and you will no longer be permitted to work in the US, however you will be allowed to stay in the US for your 30-day travel period. This 30-day period will begin from the date your sponsorship is withdrawn. • Termination from the program means that the visa sponsor will withdraw your sponsorship and you will no longer be permitted to work in the US, and you will NOT be allowed to stay in the US for your 30-day travel period. You will have to leave the US immediately • Any Work & Travel USA applicant who is withdrawn or terminated from the program will be required to return home at their own expense. A terminated applicant also loses their legal right to remain in the US. Termination may negatively impact the applicant’s ability to obtain future US visas. • If an applicant is Withdrawn or Terminated from the program for violation of any program rules, they will not be permitted to participate on any program in the future that requires sponsorship from the visa sponsor

Visa requirements • Participants on Work & Travel USA are required to comply with all US Government visa and immigration requirements including the SEVIS tracking as follows: a) notification of arrival in the US to your visa sponsor within 10 days of DS-2019 (visa sponsorship document)program start date; b) providing a valid address, email address, and phone number upon arrival at US employer c) notification to the visa sponsor of any change in US home address, phone number, and/or email address within 10 days of change. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in the participant’s J-1 Visa program being terminated. • The participant understands that they are to complete monthly surveys while in America. The U.S. Department of State requires that all Summer Work & Travel Visa Sponsors have contact with all participants every 30 Days. In response to this requirement, the visa sponsor will reach out to participants every 30 days while participants are on their program. The participants must respond to these communications and complete any survey/phone call that is arranged. Your due date will be based on your initial SEVIS registration date. Participants that do not comply with the monthly check-ins may face termination of their program • Participation on the Program begins when the applicant legally enters the US and, subject to this contract, terminates on the day of departure from the US (within the legal Program dates). Participation on the Program will end a maximum of 5 months from arrival in the US (15th September is the last day that any student participating on the program can work). Participants can arrive up to a maximum of 5 days prior to their DS program start date and remain in the US up to 30 days beyond their DS program ‘end dates’, as long as their total stay in the US does not exceed 5 months.

Your Obligation to your employer/changing employment • All employment, including second jobs, must be vetted and approved by the visa sponsor prior to work commencing. The applicant understands that the visa sponsor will contact their prospective employer to verify employment details. Your visa sponsor reserves the right to deny any job according to the current and/or anticipated rules, regulations, and intent of the J-1 Exchange Visitor program. All jobs must be seasonal in nature and not displace year-round American workers. Employment that does not allow for meaningful cultural exchange with Americans is not permitted. From time to time the list of prohibited jobs is updated. • If the participant does not meet their contractual obligations to the employer or the visa sponsors rules regarding employment obligations (e.g. not receiving approval to change/leave job or not give 2 weeks’ notice to employer if leaving job etc.), the visa sponsor may at its sole discretion withdraw or terminate sponsorship of the participant. • Participants must work for the employer listed on their Job Offer Form (JOF). If, for any reason, a change of employer becomes necessary, applicants must contact the visa sponsor and obtain written approval BEFORE changing jobs. If an applicant leaves their employment without the prior written approval of the visa sponsor, or engages in employment without prior approval, the visa sponsor reserves the right to revoke their legal sponsorship, which will result in the termination of their program and their legal right to remain in the US. • In the case of a change of job or of premature termination of job, or if the employment is terminated before the end of the program for any reason, or if the applicant decides to return home early, no fees will be refunded. • If a participant is fired from their job for violation of employer policies, including, but not limited to, their failure of a company-required drug test at the commencement of or anytime during employment, they may be withdrawn from the program with no refund of the program or job service fees. • If the participant’s original job ends before the legal working dates listed on the DS-2019 (visa sponsorship document) for any reason, it is the participant’s responsibility to inform the visa sponsors US office and get approval for any new job. • if the participant wishes to leave their employer, they must contact their visa sponsor to explain why they want to change jobs and seek approval for a `change of employer' before they can switch employers. if approval is granted, they must work a minimum notice period of 2 weeks from date of approval before finishing with their current employer.

Housing Conditions • Neither the visa sponsor nor the Company provides housing. If an employer does offer housing it is usually on a first-come, first-served basis. The applicant must notify the visa sponsor if they have any concerns regarding the safety and/or suitability of the housing provided by their employer. If the applicant arranges housing independently, they agree to use their best judgment in securing housing that is safe and suitable. Housing arrangements that involve overcrowding and/ or hot-bunking (multiple individuals using one bed and sleeping in shifts) are prohibited. Whether the applicant arranges housing independently or through the employer the applicant will be required to sign a lease and pay a deposit, which usually amounts to the first and last month’s rent and may include an additional security deposit. If the applicant has any doubt about the suitability of their housing, they must notify the visa sponsor immediately. • The visa sponsor strongly recommends all applicants should have a rental agreement with a landlord, which includes information about weekly or monthly rent, security deposit, utilities, process for returning the security deposit, and all other important details. • Any property damage is applicant’s sole responsibility and must communicate directly with their landlord to pay for such damage pursuant to the rental agreement. • If you intend to work in California, you will be required to provide proof of accommodation as well as a confirmed job offer in order to be allowed to travel to California on your J1 Visa Program • The US Department of state has seen an uptake in housing and rental scams where J1 visitors transfer money before they start their program to a fraudulent realtor or landlord, scamming the victims out of hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Other reported scams involve phone calls from alleged government representatives demanding personal information and money with threats of deportation from the U.S. Please keep this in mind when reviewing housing assistance. If you became a victim of any kind of scam, please communicate this to the visa sponsor and complete an incident report and send it to the Department at SWTsponsors@state.gov. • If, during the course of the program, the participant is evicted from housing, or is warned in writing that they are at risk of eviction, as a result of participant’s behaviour, partying, excessive noise, overcrowding, or other housing violation we will consider this a violation of the program rules. The visa sponsor reserves the right to revoke their legal sponsorship, which will result in the withdrawal or termination of their program. • If the visa sponsor deems, in its sole discretion, or if it is advised by the State Department that an applicant’s housing and/ or work placement is unsafe or unsuitable, the applicant agrees to cooperate fully with the visa sponsor and us to relocate to new housing and/or work placement without delay.

11. Declaration

Any dispute or claim against the sponsor will be subject to the sponsor agreement, and may be exclusively arbitrated in a specific location within the USA. I know of no reason why I may be refused a visa (e.g. have been arrested or convicted of a crime; have applied to migrate to the US; previously experienced US visa/immigration problems; or have overstayed on a previous visit). If I suspect that I may have problems, I will disclose these reasons in writing to the J1 team. If a visa is refused for reasons previously undisclosed, no refund will be given.

SWAP EXTRA MILE PROMISE

Every SWAP program has been shaped by our Youth Advisory Panel (YAP) and we recruit roadtesters to trial our programs to make sure they work for our customers. But after all of that, if you’re not happy with your SWAP experience we’ll put a human on it to investigate and provide assistance.

The important stuff T&Cs • We don’t believe in lots of complicated jargon. Our Extra Mile promise is founded on trust, honesty and common sense. • Travel isn't black and white. Each case will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis and handled by our dedicated SWAP Support Squad. • The joy of our trips is that you’re away for an extended period of time. If during the part of your trip when you’re in the care of SWAP or one of our in-country partners and you don’t feel like we’ve delivered what you signed up for, you just need to contact us. One of our SWAP Support Squad will be in touch to find out what's happened and to gather all the intel. If something was clearly wrong with your trip and was not as described in the inclusions/service, and it was in the control of ourselves or our in-country partners, we’ll work out refunding you for the part of the service that didn’t live up to our high standards. • To help us make the policy fair for everyone, we follow a simple process for every request. To be eligible for the SWAP Extra Mile promise, you must flag an issue within seven days of any problems with our service.

Step 1 Our team will try and resolve your problem. We’ll discuss your issues and work with our in-country partners to get what’s happened addressed ASAP. We ask that you to give us ten working days to try and do this.

Step 2 If after ten working days the issue hasn’t been resolved and it’s something that falls within our control or that of our partners, we’ll work out the refund amount for that part of your SWAP product. You’ll be refunded within ten working days.

What's not covered • We can't help fix a problem that happened six months previously. The SWAP Extra Mile promise is only valid when you flag an issue within seven days of any problems that have happened with our service. • Things outside of our control. This includes visa denials, missed flights, travel delays, and where personal behaviour has impacted your employment or experience.
