Terms of Service
General
This website is provided solely to assist customers in determining
the availability of travel-related goods and services and to make
legitimate reservations or otherwise transact business with suppliers,
and for no other purposes. Separate terms and conditions will apply
to your reservation and purchase of travel-related goods and services
that you select. You agree to abide by the terms or conditions of
purchase imposed by any supplier with whom you elect to deal, including,
but not limited to, payment of all amounts when due and compliance
with the supplier's rules and restrictions regarding availability
and use of fares, products, or services. You understand that any
violation of any such supplier's conditions of purchase may result
in cancellation of your reservation(s) or purchase, in your being
denied access to any flights, hotels, or automobiles, in your forfeiting
any monies paid for such reservation(s) or purchase, and in the
Company debiting your account for any costs we incur as a result
of such violation. You shall be completely responsible for all charges,
fees, duties, taxes, and assessments arising out of your use of
this website, and, without limitation, you shall be responsible
for all charges, fees, duties, taxes, and assessments arising out
of transactions performed by others on your behalf, whether or not
such uses were performed with your consent.
Prepaid Diving TransactionsYou agree that your credit card will
be charged for the full cost of your reservation upon submitting
your reservation request, unless otherwise specified in the total
transaction charges. The cost of your reservation is the total of:
the indicated dive rate multiplied by the number of days in your
reservation, plus an additional amount for the tax recovery charges
and our service fees. The tax recovery charge is assessed to recover
the amount we pay in connection with your reservation for sales
and use, and other similar taxes etc., and the balance of the additional
amount is a fee we charge in connection with the handling of your
reservation. Our service fee varies based on the amount and location
of your reservation.
We are not the vendor collecting and remitting said tax to the applicable
tax authorities. The vendors bill all applicable taxes to us and
we remit such tax directly to the vendor. We are not a co-vendor
associated with the vendor with whom we book or reserve our customer's
travel arrangements. Taxability and the appropriate tax rate vary
greatly by location. Our actual tax cost paid to the vendor may
vary from the tax recovery charge, depending upon the rates, taxability,
etc. in effect at the time of the actual use of the hotel, automobile,
etc. by our customer.
You may cancel or change your prepaid reservation, but you will
be charged the cancellation or change fee indicated on the reservation
order form. In addition, if you do not cancel or change your reservation
before the cancellation policy period applicable to the dive operator
you reserved, which varies by dive operator (usually 7 days prior
to your date of arrival), you will be subject to a charge of one
two tank dive, tax recovery charges and service fees. No refunds
will be made for no-shows. You agree to pay any cancellation or
change fee that you incur. In some cases, dive operators do not
permit changes to or cancellations of reservations after they are
made, generally for diving during holiday periods or special events.
You will be notified before the reservation order is completed and
your credit card is charged if a reservation is non refundable or
non changeable. You agree to abide by the terms and conditions imposed
with respect to any completed reservation order for a hotel stay
as specified on the reservation order form.
The Company attempts to secure the best diving rates available.
The Company's guarantee provides limited assurance that our rates
on prepaid diving transactions are the lowest rates available. If
a lower dive rate is available to you for the same dates and the
same dive operator within 48 hours of the time you booked and prepaid
your reservation and you contact us within that 48-hour period,
we will either refund the difference or cancel your reservation
without cancellation fee or other charge.
