You acknowledge that some suppliers offering certain services and/or activities may require you to sign their liability waiver prior to participating in the service and/or activity they offer. You understand that any violation of any such supplier's rules and restrictions may result in cancellation of your reservation(s), in your being denied access to the applicable travel product or services, in your forfeiting any monies paid for such reservation(s), and/or in our debiting your account for any costs we incur as a result of such violation.
You understand and agree that trip|REBEL facilities bookings and transactions through its online travel agency partners.
Prices
You acknowledge that the authorities in certain countries may impose certain additional taxes (tourist tax, etc), which have to be paid locally. You are exclusively responsible for paying such additional taxes.
You acknowledge that, except as provided below with respect to tax obligations on our services, we do not collect taxes for remittance to applicable taxing authorities. The hotel suppliers invoice us, including, where appropriate, tax amounts. The hotel suppliers remit the applicable taxes to the applicable taxing jurisdictions. The tax recovery charges which we charge you on prepaid hotel transactions represent the estimated taxes (e.g. sales and use, occupancy, room tax, excise tax, value added tax, etc) that we pay to the hotel supplier for taxes due on the rental of the room. They do not represent a collection of taxes from you for us to remit to the applicable tax authorities. The actual tax amounts paid by us to the hotel suppliers may vary from the tax recovery charge amounts, depending upon the rates, taxability, etc. in effect at the time of the actual use of the hotel by our customers. We retain our service fees as compensation in servicing your travel reservation. Our service fees vary based on the amount and type of hotel reservation.
Taxability and the appropriate tax rate vary greatly by location.
Sales and local hotel occupancy taxes are imposed on the amounts that we charge for our services in the states of New York and South Carolina. For hotel stays in New York State, but outside of New York City, tax recovery charges, as described above, are collected to cover the taxes due on the rent received by the hotel for the room and there is no local hotel occupancy tax due on our services. The actual tax amounts on our services may vary depending on the rates in effect at the time of your hotel stay. The terms herein may be amended to address changes in sales and local hotel occupancy taxes and regulations in other states, towns, and municipalities.
Prepaid hotel reservations
trip|REBEL and its online travel agency booking partners pre-negotiate certain room rates with hotels. You authorize trip|REBEL (through its partners) to book reservations for the total reservation price, which includes the room rate displayed on the Website, plus tax recovery charges and service fees. You agree that your credit card will be charged by trip|REBEL for the total reservation price.
You may cancel your prepaid hotel reservation, and you will be charged for any cancellation fee indicated in the rules and restrictions for the hotel reservation. If you do not cancel your reservation before the cancellation policy period applicable to the hotel you reserved, which varies by hotel (often 24 to 72 hours prior to your date of arrival), you will be subject to a charge of applicable nightly rates, tax recovery charges and service fees. In the event you do not show for the first night of the reservation and plan to check-in for subsequent nights in your reservation, you must confirm the reservation changes with us no later than the date of the first night of the reservation to prevent cancellation of your reservation. You must make refund requests for no-shows or early checkouts within 60 days after checkout. However, the decision to refund is ultimately made by the hotel, not trip|REBEL, and they may not be under any obligation to do so. Changing the dates, room types, or number of guests for a hotel reservation will require that your room be cancelled and re-booked at the best available rate, and any applicable cancellation penalties for your original reservation may be assessed in accordance with each individual hotel’s policy.
You agree to pay any cancellation or change fees that you incur. In limited cases, some reservations cannot be changed or cancelled after they are made, as indicated in the rules and restrictions for the hotel reservation. You agree to abide by the terms and conditions imposed with respect to your prepaid hotel reservations.
