B. Airline
Service Restrictions
General: Airline tickets
available through this Site are subject to the published conditions of
carriage and rules of the applicable airline. The contract of carriage in
use by the applicable airline, when issued, shall be between the
applicable airline and the passenger. Airlines retain the right to adjust
flight times and schedules at any time - schedule changes can result in an
itinerary that falls outside of contractual agreements.
Non-Use of Flight Segments: You
agree not to purchase a ticket or tickets containing flight segments that
you will not be using, such as a "point-beyond", "hidden-city", or
"back-to-back tickets". You further agree not to purchase a round-trip
ticket that you plan to use only for one-way travel. You acknowledge that
the airlines generally prohibit all such tickets, and therefore we do not
guarantee that the airline will honor your ticket or tickets. You agree to
indemnify the Covered Parties against airline claims for the difference
between the full fare of your actual itinerary and the value of the ticket
or tickets that you purchased.
Airline Services. In addition,
the following restrictions apply to Leopard Trax's airline service:
1. All tickets are
non-refundable, non-endorsable and non-changeable. At the time your
Request is accepted, your method of payment will be charged for the amount
shown, regardless of whether or not the airline ticket is used. Credit
will not be given for any unused airline tickets and cannot be used toward
any future purchases;
2. Once a Leopard Trax Request
is submitted, it cannot be modified by you;
3. All travel will be round-trip
with no unscheduled stopovers or open-jaw travel (i.e. destination of
outbound flight and origin of return flight are not the same) permitted.
If you do not use one of the flights in your reservation, the airline will
cancel your remaining itinerary;
4. Frequent Flyer mileage and
upgrades will not be permitted. Standbys and other uses of frequent flyer
miles will not be permitted; and
5. All tickets will be issued
for Economy class only.
If you submit a Request for airline
tickets, you agree that if tickets satisfying your Name Your Price request
are located, the amount of the submitted Name Your Price request, and all
taxes, charges, surcharges, shipping/handling and/or processing or other
fees, which are described in more detail in the click through "Taxes and
Fees" will be automatically charged to the method of payment you provided
to Leopard Trax. The "Total Trip Cost" will be disclosed to you before you
submit your request. Our fee for fulfilling a request is included in the
amount of your request. No additional fees are ever charged that are not
fully disclosed prior to charging your credit card.
C.
Accommodation Service Restrictions
General: Accommodation bookings
made available through Leopard Trax's service are subject to the disclosed
terms and conditions of the applicable accommodation supplier. For
individual accommodation bookings not included in a packaged or customized
package tour, the "Total Charges" that you will pay for using our
accommodation service will always be disclosed to you before you submit
your request. All individual accommodation booking are by your
selection of choices we submit to you for your approval. For accommodations included as part of a packaged or
customized package tour, the "Total Charges" that you will pay for using
our service will always be disclosed to you before you submit your
request. However, with all packaged or customized package tours, an
individual breakdown of each tour element is not provided and the "Total
Charges" that you will pay constitute the entire price for the package or
customized package tour as it is fully defined in this Site or in any
other written offer which we may transmit to you prior to making your
request. In the case of all packaged or customized package tours the
choice of accommodation is solely the decision of Leopard Trax based on
availability and vendor contracts. In all cases, hotels and B&Bs
will be at least three stars in quality and service, all rooms will have
queen beds or larger, and all rooms will have private baths. In the
case of resort cabins, these vary significantly and Leopard Trax only
books those whose reputation and published reviews warrant. In the
case of escorted or hosted tours, Leopard Trax does not have control over
the choice of hotel. The tour provider maintains sole right to
selection and in all cases the hotels used in all Leopard Trax escorted
and hosted tours are of premium quality and service.
Charges for Taxes and Service Fees: In
connection with facilitating your accommodation transaction, whether it be
an individual accommodation booking or as part of a packaged or customized
package tour, the "Total Charges" that you will pay for using our service
will always includes any taxes and fees charged by the accommodation
provider.
We are not the vendor collecting and
remitting taxes to the applicable taxing authorities. Our accommodation
suppliers, as vendors, file all necessary paperwork and pay all fees and
taxes due from applicable taxing authorities. 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 and the type
of applicable taxes vary greatly by location. Depending on the city
and property you stay in, you may also be charged resort fees or other
incidental fees, such as parking charges. These charges, if applicable,
will again be part of your "Total Charges" that you will pay for using our
service will always be disclosed to you before you submit your Request.
When you check in, a credit card or, in the accommodation's discretion, a
debit card will be required to secure any incidental fees (phone calls,
room service, movie rentals, etc.) that you may incur during your stay,
and that are not included in the "Total Charges" you were quoted..
Late Arrival and Failure to Check-in
on First Night: If you are going to be delayed or find that you cannot
check in to your accommodation on the date you requested, you should
contact the accommodation to let them know. If you fail to check in to
your accommodation on the day of your reservation and do not alert the
accommodation, the remaining portion of your reservation will be canceled
and you will not be entitled to a refund by that vendor or by Leopard
Trax. In all cases of change you are best advised to contact the
individual supplier first and additionally inform Leopard Trax of the
change.
Special Needs: If you have special
needs (e.g., wheelchair accessible room) you must inform Leopard Trax
prior to submitting any request to verify that special needs can be met.
If you do not include a special needs request as part of your inquiry, no

Rental Car Service Restrictions
General: Vehicle rentals
available through this Site are subject to standard rental contracts of
the car rental companies, which will be completed by you at the time of
pick-up of a vehicle. All vehicle rentals are included as part of a
package or customized package tour. Leopard Trax does not offer
individual car rental transactions alone. The "Total Charges" that
you will pay for using our package or customized package tour service will
always be disclosed to you before you submit your Request.
Individual itemization of tour elements is not available. The car
rental fee is part of the "Total Charges" quoted.
Charges for Taxes and Service Fees: In
connection with facilitating your rental car transaction all charges for
taxes and service fees quoted by the car rental vendor are included in the
"Total Charges" quoted.
We are not the vendor collecting and
remitting taxes to the applicable taxing authorities. Our car rental
suppliers, as vendors, file all necessary paperwork and pay all fees and
taxes due from applicable taxing authorities. 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 and the type
of applicable taxes vary greatly by location. Depending on the city
you pick up your car and the city you return your car, you may also
be charged resort fees or other incidental fees, such as parking charges.
These charges, if applicable, will again be part of your "Total Charges"
that you will pay for using our service will always be disclosed to you
before you submit your Request. When you check in, a credit card or,
in the car rental company's discretion, a debit card will be required to
secure any incidental fees (extra days not included in your original
quote, late return fees, children's car seats, additional drivers, etc..)
that you may incur during your rental, and that are not included in the
"Total Charges" you were quoted.
In some cases the total cost of the
car rental may be deducted from the actual amount charged by Leopard Trax
and in such cases you will then pay the quoted rental fee directly to the
vendor upon pick up or drop off depending on each individual car rental
company policy. In all such cases, the amount deducted from the
"Total Charges" quoted shall equal the exact cost of the car rental as
originally quoted.
Additional Restrictions. Leopard Trax
rental car reservations are non-changeable, non-endorsable,
non-transferable and non-refundable. Valid Driver's License AND
credit card or, in the rental car company's discretion, debit card, which
is consistent with the transactional details provided to Leopard Trax,
must be presented when a vehicle is picked-up at the designated location
(regardless of whether the car rental has been prepaid or not. When
picking up the vehicle, a credit card or, in the rental car company's
discretion, debit card, will be required to pay for any additional
ancillary charges (including insurance, child seats, gas, etc.). Debit
cards may not be accepted. Leopard Trax does NOT provide rental car
insurance. It is the customer's sole responsibility to determine the
applicability and eligibility of any pre-existing insurance coverage.
Leopard Trax's car rental suppliers generally offer several insurance
alternatives as incremental and completely distinct transactions with the
customer agreed to at the time of pick-up. All rentals will include
Time and Mileage ("T&M"), as well as all Taxes, Fees, and Surcharges
("TFS") associated with the T&M for the rental based on the timing and
pick-up/drop-off of the rental. Express service and loyalty programs
(frequent flyer points, frequent rental points, etc.) are not applicable
to Leopard Trax rentals.
We may, on an exception basis and at
the request of the customer, waive the restrictions identified above after
the rental has been reserved. We may, in our discretion, impose additional
obligations and/or fees in connection with any such waiver. No User waiver
requests will be accepted or considered prior to or as part of a Leopard
Trax Request.
