Company is not a supplier of any product or service offered by a Supplier, and your contract with a Supplier will be directly between you and the applicable Supplier. In each transaction between a user and a Supplier, Company acts as a disclosed agent on behalf of the Supplier, meaning that a product or service listing represents an invitation to you to make an offer to a Supplier, and that we or Supplier are free to accept or reject such offer. The provision of the product or service that you book will be subject to the terms and conditions displayed on the Services, any information made available to you during the booking process (whether made available by us or the Supplier), and the terms and conditions of the Supplier with whom you have a legal contract.

If you make a booking, you agree to review and be bound by the applicable Supplier's terms and conditions and any other rules or policies related to the product (the "Supplier Terms"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Supplier Terms conflict with these Terms of Use in connection with your legal relationship with Company, these Terms of Use shall prevail. Your interactions with Suppliers are at your own risk. Company will have no liability with respect to the acts, omissions, errors, representations, warranties, breaches or negligence of any Supplier or for any personal injuries, death, property damage, or other damages or expenses resulting from your interactions with any Supplier.

Company is not a travel agency and does not provide or own any product or service offered by a Supplier. Although Company provides the Services with information about products and services, such actions do not in any way constitute Company's sponsorship or approval of such Suppliers, or any affiliation between Company and any Supplier. Although users may rate and review particular products or services based on their own experiences, Company does not endorse or recommend any products. You agree that Company is not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of information it obtains from Suppliers and/or that is displayed on the Services.

By making a booking, you warrant that you are at least 18 years of age, that you possess the legal authority to enter into both this binding agreement and a binding agreement with the Supplier, to use the Services, to purchase the product, and that all information you supply is true, accurate, and does not omit any material information. You further agree that you will use the Services to make only legitimate bookings for you and/or others for whom you are legally authorized to act.

The price of each product will be quoted on a per-person basis, unless otherwise specified. Price quotations are subject to change without notice, until a booking has been made. Unless the Supplier has otherwise specified, prices do not include any local taxes or use-fees, including foreign departure, security, port charges, park fees, customs, immigration, agricultural, passenger-facility charges or international transportation tax.

Inclusions are determined by the Supplier. Prices do not include tips/gratuities; passport and visa fees; baggage and personal insurance; any items of a personal nature; taxes or duties; and any beverages or food that the Supplier has not specifically stated are included.

When you make a booking, Company collects your payment information and processes your payment as described in this section. In doing so, Company acts as the limited payment collection agent of the Supplier, collecting your payment for the applicable product(s) on behalf of such Supplier. Full payment by credit or debit card is required to make a booking, unless otherwise specified. 

The value of your booking may be subject to taxes, duties, foreign transaction, currency exchange or other fees. Your bank or payment card company may convert the payment into the local currency and may charge fees, resulting in differences between the amount displayed through the Services, and the final amount charged to you. Company recommends that you contact your bank or card company if you have any questions concerning any applicable currency conversion or fees.

Under these Terms of Use, the payment processing services for the Services are provided by Stripe, and such payment processing services are subject to all applicable terms and conditions available at Stripe.com, which may include Stripe’s End User License Agreement  (https://stripe.com/legal/end-users) and Privacy Policy (https://stripe.com/privacy). 

16. Modifications or Cancellations

Once a booking is completed, it cannot be changed by you or cancelled with a refund, unless otherwise stated in the terms and conditions applicable to such booking. The standard cancellation policy allows you to request a change to and/or cancel a booking up until 24 hours before the start time of the booking; or if the booking does not have an explicit start time, the deadline to request a change or to cancel will generally be 11:59pm, two days before the start date. Timings are calculated in accordance with the time zone of the booking.

If any booking is designated as 'All Sales Final' or with materially similar messaging, it is non-refundable, and it will not be possible to change or cancel it after making a booking. Some bookings may have other, different cancellation policies. In all circumstances, you must check the cancellation policy contained in the applicable booking listing at the time of your booking, which is the policy that will apply to and govern the terms of your cancellation and any refunds.

In all cases, (a) requests for modifications and amendments to a booking, including date change requests (collectively, a "Change Request") should be made through the Services; and (b) if it is possible to implement a Change Request, Company shall not charge a fee for doing so, as long as the Change Request is received by us by the deadline specified in the booking listing. Please note that a Supplier may charge a fee to accommodate a Change Request; in such circumstances, you will be required to pay such fee in order that Company may successfully process your Change Request.

All Change Requests shall be processed by Company subject to the availability and agreement of the applicable Supplier. Company does not guarantee the success of any Change Request. To the extent the Supplier is unwilling or unable to accept such Change Request, then your right to a refund (if any) shall be governed by the cancellation terms of your booking.

If you make a booking using a promotion code, or if you accept a discount or special-offer price during the check-out process, you may invalidate your discount or special-offer price by making a Change Request after booking.

No refunds are available once a booking has commenced, or in respect of any booking's package, accommodation, meals or any other services that have started to be utilized.

Occasionally a Supplier may make a change to a booking after your purchase, including but not limited to the date, price, inclusions, coverage, age requirements, and/or any other booking features and/or requirements. As a result, Company (acting on the Supplier’s behalf), reserves the right to cancel, change or substitute any booking that you have purchased, at any time, for any reason. If the change proposed by the Supplier is material (for example, a change in dates and/or a significant change to the itinerary), and you are dissatisfied with the alternative that is offered, you will be entitled to a full refund of the original purchase price.

We may decide, in our sole discretion, that it is necessary or desirable for the protection of our interests, the Supplier's interests and/or your interests, to withdraw our Services resulting in an override of the booking's cancellation policy and the effective cancellation of a booking. We may also determine, in our sole discretion, to arrange refund to you part or all of the amounts charged to you. You agree that we and the applicable Supplier shall have no liability for such cancellations or refunds.
