Terms of Service
General
This website is provided solely to assist customers in determining
the availability of travel-related goods and services and to make
legitimate reservations or otherwise transact business with
suppliers, and for no other purposes. Separate terms and conditions
will apply to your reservation and purchase of travel-related goods
and services that you select. You agree to abide by the terms or
conditions of purchase imposed by any supplier with whom you elect
to deal, including, but not limited to, payment of all amounts when
due and compliance with the supplier's rules and restrictions
regarding availability and use of fares, products, or services. You
understand that any violation of any such supplier's conditions of
purchase may result in cancellation of your reservation(s) or
purchase, in your being denied access to any flights, hotels, or
automobiles, in your forfeiting any monies paid for such
reservation(s) or purchase, and in the Company debiting your account
for any costs we incur as a result of such violation. You shall be
completely responsible for all charges, fees, duties, taxes, and
assessments arising out of your use of this website, and, without
limitation, you shall be responsible for all charges, fees, duties,
taxes, and assessments arising out of transactions performed by
others on your behalf, whether or not such uses were performed with
your consent.
Prepaid Hotel Transactions
You agree that your credit card will be charged for the full cost of
your reservation upon submitting your reservation request. The cost
of your reservation is the total of: the indicated room rate
multiplied by the number of days in your reservation, plus an
additional amount for the tax recovery charges and our service fees.
The tax recovery charge is assessed to recover the amount we pay to
the hotel in connection with your reservation for sales and use,
occupancy, room tax, excise tax, value added and other similar taxes
etc., and the balance of the additional amount is a fee we charge in
connection with the handling of your reservation. Our service fee
varies based on the amount and location of your reservation.
We are not the vendor collecting and remitting said tax to the
applicable tax authorities. The vendors bill all applicable taxes to
us and we remit such tax directly to the vendor. We are not a
co-vendor associated with the vendor with whom we book or reserve
our customer's travel arrangements. Taxability and the appropriate
tax rate vary greatly by location. Our actual tax cost paid to the
vendor may vary from the tax recovery charge, depending upon the
rates, taxability, etc. in effect at the time of the actual use of
the hotel, automobile, etc. by our customer.
You may cancel or change your prepaid reservation, but you will be
charged the cancellation or change fee indicated on the reservation
order form. In addition, if you do not cancel or change your
reservation before the cancellation policy period applicable to the
hotel you reserved, which varies by hotel (usually 24 to 72 hours
prior to your date of arrival), you will be subject to a charge of
one-night's room rate, tax recovery charges and service fees. No
refunds will be made for no-shows or early checkouts. See the hotel
description for the cancellation policy period for each hotel. You
agree to pay any cancellation or change fee that you incur. In some
cases, hotels do not permit changes to or cancellations of
reservations after they are made, generally for stays during holiday
periods or special events. You will be notified before the
reservation order is completed and your credit card is charged if a
reservation is non refundable or non changeable. You agree to abide
by the terms and conditions imposed with respect to any completed
reservation order for a hotel stay as specified on the reservation
order form.
The Company attempts to secure the best hotel rates available. The
Company's guarantee provides limited assurance that our rates on
prepaid hotel transactions are the lowest rates available. If a
lower room rate is available to you for the same dates and the same
hotel within 24 hours of the time you booked and prepaid your
reservation and you contact us within that 24-hour period, we will
either refund the difference or cancel your reservation without
cancellation fee or other charge. This guarantee does not apply to
special events such as New Years and the Super Bowl or to
non-refundable or non-changeable reservations.

destinations, is completed without incident, travel to certain
