Travel Agency Service Agreement

Trip Concierge, Inc., (collectively referred to herein as the “Agent”) shall act as the booking agent for your travel needs, (hereinafter referred to as the “Guest”). The terms and conditions in this Agreement (the “Agreement”) describe what you are legally entitled to expect from us when you purchase travel related services through us, in addition to your obligations as a Guest. The person, entity, or their representatives using our services, website, or booking a reservation through us are referred to as “you” and “your” throughout and includes any forms attached or any quote or invoice provided by us referencing these terms and conditions. The terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the Agent.

1. Duration
This Agreement commences on the date we accept your account application form via our website or the date you place a booking through us via email or telephone (whichever occurs sooner) and shall continue for the duration of time we provide travel management services to you. This Agreement is non-exclusive.

2. Agency of Record
Should you require us to make use of an expense tracking or online booking platform as part of this Agreement, you shall designate the Agent as the agency of record with that booking platform.

3. Our Agreement With You
During the Term, we will use our best efforts to provide you, with services as requested.  We sell a variety of travel-related products from different suppliers and service providers (the “Suppliers”). Each Supplier has its own terms and condition that are applicable to your particular arrangements in addition to our general terms and conditions, and you should make sure you understand them. Certain software and content found on our website are owned or licensed by us or our Suppliers, your use of which may be subject to further conditions. Our website, which is referred throughout this Agreement, can be found at https://www.tripconcierge.co.

4. Agency
When you make a booking with us, you acknowledge and agree that we will be acting as an agent only for the relevant transport, accommodation or other travel service provider. Our obligation to you is to (and you expressly authorize us to) make travel bookings on your behalf and to arrange relevant contracts between you and travel service providers. The travel service provider, and not the Agent, will be responsible to you for the provision of the relevant travel service. Any services we provide to you are collateral to our agency relationship with the travel service provider and are separate to the actual provision of the travel services. We are not a co-vendor of such products and services. You will be entering into a separate contract with such Suppliers in connection with such products and services. Your legal recourse for travel services is against the specific travel service provider and, except to the extent a problem is caused by fault on our part, not against us. Specifically, if for any reason (excluding fault on our part), any travel service provider is unable to provide the travel services for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the travel service provider and not with us.

5. Travel Arrangers
In instances where a single person is acting on behalf of a group of passengers in relation to the ticket purchase and check-in processes, that single person is assuming the responsibility of providing the terms and conditions to each passenger traveling and is responsible for providing the indication of understanding on behalf of the group. The group representative or entity shall provide indemnification for any misunderstanding or claim arising related to a failure to communicate or obtain consent related to the terms and conditions or this agreement.            

6. Travel Insurance
For all travel, we strongly recommend that you take out appropriate travel insurance to cover your travel arrangements. It is your responsibility to ensure you have valid travel insurance that covers and is appropriate for your needs. Travel insurance is a mandatory element of some travel arrangements. We will not be liable for any loss you incur if and insofar as you are able to claim for damages under a travel insurance policy. We can arrange travel insurance for you or provide you with a quote or general information about the travel insurance options available to you.

7. Understanding this Agreement
The provider of your travel service will have its own terms and conditions (such as airline conditions of carriage or accommodation or car hire booking and cancellation terms). All such terms and conditions (including limitations of liability) apply to any travel service booked pursuant to this Agreement and, accordingly, a reference to “this Agreement” shall mean (i) the terms and conditions set out herein; (ii) the terms and conditions set out in any credit account extended to you (if applicable); and (iii) all terms and conditions of any provider of your travel services. To the extent of any inconsistency between a travel service provider’s terms and conditions and the terms and conditions set out herein, the travel service provider’s terms and conditions shall prevail, save to the extent that any provision in the travel service provider’s terms and conditions is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable. Your travel service providers will be identified on your itinerary or travel documents and their respective terms and conditions will be available directly on their websites or by contacting them. Alternatively, you can ask us for copies. You must read all applicable travel service provider terms and conditions carefully because in every case they will apply to the provision of your travel services.

8. Travel Documents
Travel documents include airline tickets, hotel vouchers, tour vouchers or any other document (whether in electronic form or otherwise) used to confirm an arrangement with a travel service provider. Travel documents may be subject to certain conditions and/or restrictions including (without limitation) being non-refundable, non-date-changeable, non-transferable and subject to cancellation and/or amendment fees. Travel documents cannot be transferred to another person to use. All airline tickets must be issued in the name of the passport/photo identity holder. An incorrect name on a booking or on the travel documents may result in an inability to travel on that booking and the booking being canceled. Please review your travel documentation carefully and advise us immediately of any errors in names, dates, and timings. You must ensure you have all your travel documents and e-tickets prior to travel. Please let us know if you believe you have not received any required documentation. Refunds will not be issued for passengers denied boarding due to inability to present proper documentation or failing to arrive at the airport on time.A flight described on your travel documents and/or itinerary as “direct” will not necessarily be non-stop. All departure/arrival times are provided by the airlines concerned and are estimates only. They may change due to air traffic control restrictions, weather conditions, and operational requirements.Our general practice is to send documents to our customers electronically whenever possible. We reserve the right to charge an administration fee should you make a request for such documents to be sent as a hard copy.If possible, name changes provided in writing will be accepted until 24 hours after booking and are subject to the provisions and penalties of flight contracts. Name changes can be refused at any time or subject to cancellation penalties in the case of a hotel/supplier close-out. Name changes requested after documents are issued are subject to the terms and conditions of the individual supplier, third parties’ fees and assessments schedule.

9. Supplier Price Quotes
Where we provide you with a quote for a scheduled airline ticket, the price shall be valid at the time of quote (excluding airline taxes, which are subject to change and may be re-quoted at the time your booking is confirmed), but fare quotes are subject to change due to airline availability, pricing, and terms or other factors that are beyond our control. In all other cases, prices are subject to availability and can be withdrawn or changed without notice. Price changes may occur by reason of matters outside our control which increase the cost of the product or service. Such factors include adverse currency fluctuations, fuel surcharges, taxes, and airfare increases. Please contact us for up to date prices.All airlines tickets are subject to supplemental price increases that may be imposed after the date of purchase. Post-purchase price increases may be applied due to additional costs imposed by a supplier or government. You may be charged additional sums by the Agent to offset increased fees, fuel surcharges, taxes, and fluctuations in foreign exchange markets or any combination thereof. Acceptance of these terms and conditions hereby consent you to any post-purchase price increases and authorize the Agent to charge my credit card for such additional amounts.

10. Service Fees
Our pay-per-use service fees are clearly outlined on our website. All fees, including but not limited to journey arrangement fees, trip, journey, tour or hotel deposits, credit card fees, shall be due at the time of booking and are non-refundable. Should a Guest cancel their trip, booking, reservation or other arrangement, the fees charged by the Agent shall be non-refundable, and no claims for refunds will be granted. You may provide an invoice to your travel insurance provider by making a claim with them, and to include our fee invoice in your claim under your travel insurance policy. We reserve the right to offer refunds at our discretion, however any credit card fees or surcharges will remain non-refundable.

11. Deposits and Payment
Any deposits from you are non-refundable, unless otherwise specifically specified. Payment of a deposit enables us to hold a reservation for you but does not guarantee the price. The price can only be guaranteed once we receive full payment and other travel documents have been issued, subject to any terms and conditions of the Supplier. We will advise you of the date that full payment is required. Upon your provision of your payment information, you are authorizing us to make the payment arrangements with the corresponding Suppliers. We reserve the right to refuse personal checks as a method of payment. After full payment, the conditions of the contract with your Supplier may permit them to increase the cost of your arrangements. If we are acting as your Booking Agent, we will pass on any such increase to you as we become aware of such increase. If we have arranged a package, changes in transportation costs including the cost of fuel, taxes, fees and exchange rates mean that the price of your travel arrangements may change after you have paid in full.                

12. Payment Terms
Corporate credit card payments will be taken at time of booking/invoicing and will incur merchant fees. You authorize us to charge all fees incurred by you in relation to the services provided to the card designated by you. If payment is not received from the card issuer or its agents for any reason, you agree to pay us all amounts due immediately on demand. You indemnify us against any loss that may be experienced by us due to any fraudulent use or otherwise of that credit card. Please note that in some circumstances we will require a photograph or facsimile of the front and back of the card along with a driver’s license or other government identification of the person named on the card and a signed authorization.

13. Amendment and Cancellation Fees
Canceled bookings may incur charges. These charges can be up to 100% of the cost of the booking, regardless of whether travel has commenced. Fees and extra charges may also apply where a booking is changed and when tickets or documents are re-issued. Where we incur any liability for a travel service provider cancellation fee or charge for any booking which you cancel, you agree to indemnify us for the amount of that fee or charge. Where you seek a refund for a canceled booking for which payment has been made to the travel service provider, we will not provide a refund to you until we receive the funds from that travel service provider.

Your contract with your Suppliers may allow them to cancel or amend bookings. If we are your Booking Agent, we will ensure that you are promptly notified of any significant changes once we become aware of such change if there is time before your departure, but we accept no liability for any changes or costs incurred that may result. Subject to the Supplier’s terms and conditions, you will then have the choice of accepting the change of arrangements, accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements if one is made available by the Supplier, or canceling your booked arrangements and receiving any applicable refunds. We do not guaranty that any refunds will apply.If you have booked a flight and we are alerted to a significant schedule change by your airline before you leave the United States, we will contact you by email to advise you of this. Please ensure that you have given your contact email address to us and that you regularly check for messages before you leave. We have no control over airline schedule changes and accept no liability for costs which may arise as a result of such changes.If you have purchased a return flight, multi-stop or round the world flight and you do not check in on a confirmed flight, the airline will register you as a ‘no show’ and your tickets on your subsequent flights will be canceled. Please contact us as soon as possible if you do not intend to check-in for a confirmed reservation in these circumstances.After you have left the US, it is your responsibility to check with the airline that any onward flights you have confirmed are operating as booked. We strongly recommend that you contact your airline at least 72 hours before the scheduled departure of each flight to do this. Please note that for some airlines it is mandatory to confirm with them your intention to fly.                                              

14. Passports & Visas
You assume full and complete responsibility for checking and verifying all passport and visa requirements of the destinations and for complying with all laws of the country in the Itinerary.All travelers must have a valid passport for international travel and many countries require at least 6 months validity from the date of return. Some countries also require a machine-readable passport and/or unstamped available pages. When assisting with an international travel booking, we will assume that all travelers on the booking have a valid passport. If this is not the case, you must let us know. It is important to ensure you have valid passports, visas and re-entry permits which meet the requirements of immigration and other government authorities. Any fines, penalties, payments, delay or expenditures incurred as a result of such documents not meeting the requirements of those authorities will be your sole responsibility (except to the extent caused by fault on our part).If you need information regarding visas, passports and other travel document requirements for your trip, please contact us. We can provide you with general information on visa and passport requirements that apply to international travel bookings you make with us. We can also obtain more specific information from an external visa advisory service provider on your behalf (if you wish, we can obtain visas for you through this external service and fees will apply). We do not warrant the accuracy of visa and passport information provided by any external service and accept no liability for any loss or damage which you may suffer in reliance on it (except to the extent caused by fault on our part).                                  

15. Travel Advice and Vaccinations
U.S. Citizens should refer to the travel advice posted by the U.S. Department of State at http://www.travel.state.gov for all the countries you intend to visit. Travelers of nationalities other than the United States should visit their respective countries government travel website for updated travel information. Vaccinations may be required for some or all of the places you are intending to visit. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have arranged all necessary vaccinations for your itinerary. For medical information, we recommend contacting the Centers for Disease Control at (877) FYI-TRIP or http://www.cdc.gov/travel.

16. Airline use of Insecticide Spray
Some countries require insecticide spraying of aircraft prior to a flight or while you are on the aircraft.  Federal law requires that we refer you to the Department of Transportation’s Disinfection Information page on their website at the time of booking for further information https://www.transportation.gov/airconsumer/spray.

17. Hazardous Materials Disclosure
Federal law forbids the carriage of hazardous materials aboard aircraft in your luggage or on your person. A violation can result in five years imprisonment and penalties of $250,000 or more (49 U.S.C. 5124). Hazardous materials include explosives, compressed gases, flammable liquids and solids, oxidizers, poisons, corrosives, and radioactive materials. Examples: paints, lighter fluid, fireworks, tear gases, oxygen bottles, and radio-pharmaceuticals.There are special exceptions for small quantities of medicinal and toilet articles carried in your luggage and certain smoking materials carried on your person.

18. Health
You must ensure that you are aware of any health requirements and recommended precautions relevant to your travel and ensure that you carry all necessary vaccination documentation. In some cases, failure to present required vaccination documentation (e.g. proof of Yellow Fever vaccination) may deny you entry into a country or invalidate your travel insurance cover. We recommend that you consult with your local doctor, travel medical service or specialist vaccination clinic before commencing your travel. We would be happy to provide you details of travel clinics on request.
