(a)      facilitating the availability of the Services;
(b)      serving as an agent of the Operator;
(c)      making travel bookings on behalf of the Client where necessary (and the Client expressly and irrevocably authorises the Agency to do so); and

The Client acknowledges that they are solely responsible for ensuring that they have read and understood any applicable third party terms and conditions.

Although the Agency takes reasonable care to ensure that this information is correct, the Agency cannot and does not guarantee the accuracy of such information. The Agency accepts no responsibility for information supplied by Operators and any third parties and it is recommended that the Client confirms all such information.

Despite this, the Agency may refund the Client where the Client seeks a refund from an Operator, and the Operator has refunded that amount to the Agency.

8.3             The Operator is solely responsible for the supply and provision of returns and refunds of any travel services booked. Each Operator will have their own refund and return policy and it is strongly encouraged that the Client check with the relevant Operator before confirming the booking.

The clause sets out the expectation for engagement and performance of the Services.
This includes an acknowledgement of the agency relationship between you and third party travel service providers (referred to as Operators).

The purpose of this clause is to give the Client an overview as to how your Services work, with particular focus on identifying your responsibilities (noting that the Service facilitates the booking of travel services, and that you do not provide the travel services themselves).

All bookings are subject to availability and the relevant Operator’s terms and conditions. The relevant Operator, and not you will be responsible for honouring and confirming bookings.

Where bookings are placed for travel services the Client enters into a direct contractual relationship with the Operator and not you (you merely act as an agent on behalf of the Operator).

You provide no guarantee that any information regarding Operators or their travel services is correct.

Pricing and payment terms will be as stated in the Proposal and can change at any time until the booking has been confirmed.

We have included an acknowledgement from the Client that you may be entitled to a financial benefit from Operators where you sell their products and services to the Client.

We have also given you the right to charge a service fee which will be set out in the Proposal (if any).

Cancellation and refunds will be subject to the terms of the relevant Operator.

We have included a number of standard obligations here such as the requirement to act prompt in providing information, documentation and approvals.

This clause also sets out that the Client will be responsible for ensuring (to the extent relevant to their booking):

-        They have a valid passport;

-        They are aware of any health requirements;

-        The correct details are included on travel documents; and

-        They have adequate travel insurance.

Except to the extent caused by your breach, the Client indemnifies you (and takes responsibility for) the events or actions set out in this clause.

In this case, the Client will be responsible for losses you incur as a result of third party claims that may be made against you in connection with the Services (where they are a result of the Client), or any losses you suffer in connection with a breach or non-performance of this Agreement by the other party.
