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.
