Booking Terms
THE COMPANY’S SERVICES
The Company is a travel agency that runs self-service websites (such as this website) that allow the general public to book travel services from various third-party suppliers.
ALWAYS SELF-SERVICE
It is solely your responsibility to define and provide the correct information during the booking process, as well as to assess the suitability of any travel service before booking. The Company may engage you via various communication channels and perhaps even use the website on your behalf, but it is still your responsibility to make the final assessment of suitability and to check the accuracy of all information before making a booking.
BOOKING IS DIRECTLY WITH THE SUPPLIER
Any reservation you make using The Company’s Services is booked for you with a third-party supplier (a “Supplier”). You acknowledge that The Company acts as an agent of the Supplier, who undertakes to render the agreed travel service to you. Any right of recourse that you may have regarding the supplied travel service will be directly with the Supplier, although The Company is always willing to assist wherever possible.
QUOTES, RATES AND PRICES
All rates published on this website are subject to change without notice. Furthermore, rates displayed anywhere on this website, other than a quotation, are to serve as guidelines only. You understand that online bookings made by you, where rates have been shown incorrectly on The Company’s website, will be re-invoiced to you at the correct rate to validate the booking. Only quotations offered directly to a user through the website constitute legal offers. Quotations are always subject to the availability of the Supplier. While the Company endeavours to display accurate prices at all times, pricing errors do occasionally occur. In such circumstances, The Company will reprice, even if the amount is included in a quotation or has already been paid for.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
You understand and accept the responsibilities of using a self-service booking website such as that operated by The Company. These responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
• ensuring the selection of the correct Supplier with your required characteristics
• checking that accurate details have been supplied and captured in the booking
• ensuring that all the proper travel documentation and permissions have been obtained before completing your booking
• understanding what vaccinations or medication may be recommended for those travelling to your destination
• ensuring the eligibility of the travellers, including age, health, financial status or any other factor
• any other factors which might influence your ability to take-up or enjoy your booking
For example, where the following documents are required, you alone are responsible for ensuring that the relevant travellers have them on hand:
• valid identification
• valid passport(s)
• valid visa(s)
• valid birth certificate(s)
• any other documents which may be required during your travels
The Company also recommends that you seek out insurance products to adequately protect you from the risks associated with your booking. There are various risks associated with travel, and you understand that none of these is guarded against by The Company. For instance, you should ensure that you are adequately protected against loss for reasons of illness, cancellation, injury, damage to your baggage, theft, or any other possibility.
TERMS OF THE SUPPLIERS APPLY
Each Supplier will have their own Terms and Conditions that apply to your booking. It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with the Terms and Conditions of the Supplier before completing a reservation.
ACCEPTING INSTRUCTION
The Company may accept instruction relating to a booking from any party with access to the email account or cell phone number used for the booking, or with substantive knowledge of the booking (such as the reference number).
CANCELLATION POLICY
All bookings and related charges are non-refundable unless otherwise stated during the booking process. When a more lenient cancellation policy applies, that policy will be shown to you during the reservation process and included in your booking. In cases where no cancellation policy is shown, please assume a non-refundable booking or contact us to confirm which cancellation policy applies. On receipt of a written instruction from you to cancel a reservation, any amount owed to you by the Supplier in question, in terms of its cancellation policy, will be paid to The Company. Following this, The Company shall on-pay the received refund to you within 7 days of our receipt of the funds. The funds shall be deposited into your banking details (less any applicable fees). The Company shall not be obliged to make any payments to you in the event that you are not entitled to a refund, or the funds cannot be recovered from the Supplier.
UNAVAILABLE BOOKINGS
In the event that, after you have made payment for a booking, a Supplier no longer has your selected service (room/ date/seat/flight) available, The Company will undertake to find you a suitable alternative or, failing that, refund you in full.
TRAVEL DELAYS AND RE-SCHEDULING
You understand that flights are occasionally re-scheduled or delayed for various reasons, and it is your responsibility to check for such itinerary changes ahead of travel. The Company will not be held liable for such changes. Any additional costs including, but not limited to accommodation charges or alternate travel arrangements, will be for you.
CREDIT CARD PAYMENT OPTIONS
The payment gateway is facilitated by Cybersource.
Among the other forms of payment accepted by The Company, payment may be made via Visa or MasterCard credit cards. The Company takes measures to ensure that payment with a credit card on The Company website is secure. The primary actions taken to ensure this security are as follows:
• Credit card transactions will be acquired for The Company via Payment Gateway
• The Company does not store any complete credit card details on our system. Credit card details are processed through Cybersource.

The Company may offer additional service offerings, optional or bundled, that may be offered directly by The Company or by the company acting as an agent of a Supplier. Such additional service offerings may include their own terms and conditions which, when contradictory, will supersede these terms.
DISSATISFACTION
If, for any reason, you are dissatisfied with your booking, please call The Company immediately. If your dissatisfaction emerges during the course of your travel, you are encouraged to contact The Company immediately so that, where possible, the situation can be rectified for the rest of your travel.
