BOOKING TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The purchase of your travel booking constitutes a contractual agreement between the traveler(s), customer(s), and/or purchaser(s)(collectively as “you” and “traveler”), and Corporate Traveler.com Inc. (“Corporate Traveler”, “we”, “us”), pursuant to the following terms and conditions (“Terms”, “Agreement”):

Please read this entire agreement carefully. It includes a Dispute Resolution clause under which certain disputes must be decided by an arbitrator and without a judge or a jury trial.

TRAVEL AGENT:

Corporate Traveler (or any of its affiliated entities) acts as a travel agent only. We sell various travel related products on behalf of numerous transport and accommodation service providers, including, but not limited to airlines, coach, rail, and cruise line operators, and hotels. Corporate Traveler does not own, operate, manage or control these independent suppliers of services and is not liable for their acts or omissions. Corporate Traveler’s obligations to you are to make travel bookings on your behalf and to arrange relevant contracts between you and the travel service providers. We have no responsibility for these services, nor do we have the authority to make any warranty or representation regarding their standards. Fulfillment of a request cannot be guaranteed. All bookings are subject to the terms and conditions and limitations of liability imposed by these travel service providers. You agree that your sole legal recourse is against the specific provider, not Corporate Traveler or its affiliates, parent company, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, or contractors. Conditions can change rapidly in a country at any time. It is your responsibility to check the USA Government Travel advisories for your intended destination at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel.html.

AIRFARE TERMS & CONDITIONS:

Some fares are for verified students, teaching faculty, and youth aged 16-25 years old only. Corporate Traveler and/or its partners have the right to check a user’s student, faculty, or youth status prior to issuing a ticket, and may request additional documentation if needed. By purchasing a ticket from us, you give Corporate Traveler explicit consent to contact your school to verify your current enrollment status. Ticket holders must have current student or faculty identification and/or proof of age with them when traveling. Airlines can deny boarding without the proper identification.

All fares are subject to change without notice prior to full payment, and may be thereafter adjusted as further set out below.

Forced overnight stays for any reason, including changes of itinerary, are not the responsibility of Corporate Traveler.

If you arrive late for a flight according to the airline’s check-in requirements, or miss a flight, for ANY reason, you will lose the total value of your ticket. It is entirely at the airline’s discretion to provide you with a seat on a later flight. Corporate Traveler is not responsible for an airline’s not providing you with a seat on a later flight, nor any additional charges that the airline may impose for this reason, nor the full loss of value in your ticket.

Airlines have specific guidelines for minors traveling without an adult (“Unaccompanied Minors”). These guidelines vary by airline and some may charge an additional fee for services they may provide to Unaccompanied Minors. You must contact your airline directly and or visit its website for specific information regarding these guidelines and/or any additional fees. You are solely responsible for any such fees.

Additional fees for baggage may apply. You are solely responsible for any such fees as well. Please contact your airline or refer to its website for detailed information regarding their checked baggage policies, or alternatively please visit www.libertytravel.com/flights/baggage-fees.jsp for more information.

IMPORTANT CONDITIONS:

Prices are subject to increase prior to the time you make full payment. Prices are not subject to increase after you make full payment, except for charges resulting from increases in government-imposed taxes or fees. By agreeing to these Terms, you expressly acknowledge your acceptance of these conditions (i.e. increases before full payment and increases attributable to government-imposed taxes or fees after full payment will be your responsibility) applicable to your purchase.

CANCELLATION AND AMENDMENT FEES:

Please be aware that most travel bookings are non-refundable and cancelled bookings will incur charges. These charges can be up to 100% of the cost of the booking, regardless of whether travel has commenced. Where we incur any liability for a cancellation fee or charge for any booking that is canceled, you agree to indemnify us for the amount of that fee or charge. Whether the cancellation is initiated by you or the provider, in addition to any supplier and airline cancellation/amendment fees, we may charge the following fees on a Per Passenger, Per Booking basis in our sole discretion: (A) Domestic US flights: Cancellation Fees: $75.00 / Amendment Fees: $75.00; and (B) Flights to/from the Rest of the World (destinations outside of USA) Cancellation Fees: $250.00 / Amendment Fees: $150.00.

PAYMENTS:

A credit or debit card must be used to confirm any booking. By making the reservation with a credit/debit card, you authorize us to make a charge against that card.

We and or our affiliates may charge an online booking fee; this fee is highlighted upon payment and is always non-refundable.

You are responsible to the accommodation provider for payment of the remaining owed balance, together with any charges for additional services subsequently contracted and, where applicable, any service charges or tax.

We accept no responsibility for any extra expenses that may arise, extra hotel taxes and fees, cancellations or freight charges from your bank or credit card company.

In securing the reservation with your credit card details, you confirm that you and all travelers are over the age of eighteen (18) and that you are solely responsible for the remainder of the payment to the accommodation provider upon arrival.

CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS:

If, for any reason, any travel service provider is unable to provide the services for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the provider, and not against Corporate Traveler. In the event that payment has been made to Corporate Traveler by credit card, you agree that you will not seek to charge back your payment to Corporate Traveler. If the credit card information is passed through to the travel services provider and you seek to charge back your payment from the provider, you agree to indemnify Corporate Traveler against this chargeback from the provider, including without limitation any air debit memos charged to Corporate Traveler. If Corporate Traveler incurs any expense, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, to recover any payments charged back by your credit card company, you agree that you will be liable to reimburse Corporate Traveler for such expense. If the credit card is declined, you guarantee that you will settle any amounts owing to Corporate Traveler immediately by money order or payment in cash.

TRAVEL PROTECTION:

For your protection, we recommend that you purchase trip cancellation and travel accident protection. However, you agree to look solely to the insurer, and not to Corporate Traveler, its affiliates, parent company, shareholders, officers, directors, agents, employees, or contractors with respect to any policy of insurance purchased or offered through the Corporate Traveler or affiliate websites. No representation or description of the protection made by Corporate Traveler to you constitutes a binding assurance or promise about the protection, and you agree not to rely upon any such representation. Corporate Traveler is not an insurance company and has no responsibility for the submission, payment, or adjustment of any insurance claims. Any claims that may fall under the relevant travel protection policy must be submitted directly to the insurance company identified in the policy.

ADDITIONAL FEES:

Additional taxes and surcharges that cannot be pre-collected may be charged locally by car rental agencies, hotels or other suppliers. Most properties and vehicle rental/leasing companies require a credit card imprint at check-in.

RESPONSIBILITY:

We strive to make sure your travel arrangements are satisfactory. However, Corporate Traveler and its affiliates, parent company, employees, shareholders, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, successors, agents, and assigns do not own or operate any entity that provides goods and services for your travel, including, without limitation, lodging facilities, airline, vessel, motor coach, or other transportation companies, guides or guide services, local ground operators, providers or organizers of optional excursions, food service providers, etc. All such providers are independent contractors and are in no way affiliated with Corporate Traveler or any of Corporate Traveler’s affiliated entities. You therefore agree not to look to Corporate Traveler and/or its affiliates, parent company, employees, shareholders, subsidiaries, officers, directors, successors, agents, and assigns with respect to any act or omission of such providers.

LIABILITY:

Corporate Traveler is not liable for any negligent or willful act or failure to act of any travel service provider or of any third party. In addition, and without limitation, Corporate Traveler is not responsible for, and need not make any reimbursement or refund for, any injury, loss, death, inconvenience, delay, or damage to person or property in connection with the provision of any goods or services if resulting from acts of God, force majeure, illness, disease, pandemic, quarantine, acts of war or civil unrest, insurrection or revolt, embargoes, blockades, boycotts, animals, strikes or other labor activities, criminal or terrorist activities of any kind, overbooking or downgrading of accommodations, weather conditions, sanitary conditions, lack of medical care, mechanical or other failure of airplanes or other means of transportation, any failure of any transportation mechanism to arrive or depart on time, or any other matter not within Corporate Traveler’s direct control. Also, be advised that certain foreign facilities such as air-conditioning systems in public places, hotels, and motor coaches may not be up to U.S. standards. If, due to weather, flight schedules, or other uncontrollable factors, you are required to spend additional night(s), you will be responsible for your own hotel, transfers, and meal costs. Baggage is entirely at owner's risk. You may see the name Corporate Traveler affixed to motor vehicles, on signs around the hotel or elsewhere. This use of our name is purely for reasons of identification and does not denote ownership, supervision, or control by Corporate Traveler in any way. The prices of these tours are based on rates in effect (including foreign exchange rates) at the time of printing and are subject to change without notice. Under circumstances where liability cannot be excluded, such liability is limited to the value of the purchased travel arrangements. To the extent permitted by law, you specifically agree that Corporate Traveler is not liable for any consequential damage or punitive, statutory, multiple, exemplary, or other form of damage not measured by actual damage.
