These terms and conditions describe what you are legally entitled to expect from us when you purchase a travel package, in addition to your obligations as a customer. The terms "we", "us" and "our" refer to Cohica Ltd. The term "you" refers to the customer visiting our website, booking a reservation through us or otherwise using our services.
1. The Agreement Products and Suppliers We sell many different travel related products from various suppliers and service providers ("Suppliers"). Each Supplier has its own terms and conditions that apply to your specific travel experience in addition to our general terms and conditions, and you should make sure you are aware of them. Our website, which is referred throughout this Agreement, is www.cohicatravel.com.
Cohica Travel is acting as intermediary or a "Booking Agent" for products and services that are not directly supplied by us (e.g., air and ground transportation, hotel accommodations, meals, tours, etc.). We are not a co-vendor of such products and services. You will be entering into a separate contract with these Suppliers for these products and services.
Deposits and Payment Any deposits from you are non-refundable. 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.
Unless otherwise noted, any payments made for our travel products are non-refundable.
Documentation We provide documentation to our customers electronically whenever possible. We reserve the right to charge an administration fee should you request such documents to be sent as a hard copy.
Cancellations and Changes Your contract with your Suppliers may allow them to cancel or amend bookings. As your Booking Agent, we will ensure that you are promptly notified of any significant changes once we become aware of these changes 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 sent us your contact email address and that you check this email account regularly 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.
After you have left the U.S., it is your responsibility to check with the airline that any onward flights you have confirmed are operating as booked. We 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.
Right of California Customer to Make Claim on the California Travel Consumer Restitution Fund You may be eligible for a refund for losses to a registered seller of travel that participates in the California state refund program. If you were located in California at the time of your purchase, you may have a right to file a claim for losses with the California Travel Consumer Restitution Corporation. Certain restrictions apply. For a claim form and additional information, write to: Travel Consumer Restitution Corporation P.O. Box 8474 Northridge, CA 91327
2. Your Agreement With Us Your Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions By booking your arrangement with us or using our website, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including Parts 1-3 of this Agreement and any additional terms and conditions of any Supplier that are applicable to your booking, travel arrangements or use of any website content. You agree on behalf of yourself and those you represent to comply with all such terms and conditions, including the payment of all amounts when due. You agree that any violation of any such terms and conditions may result in (a) the cancellation of your reservation or purchase, (b) your forfeiture of any monies paid for your reservation or purchase, (c) you being denied access to the applicable travel related product or service, and (d) our right to debit your account for any costs we incur as a result of such violation.
You represent and warrant that (a) you are of sufficient age to use our services and website and can create binding legal obligations in connection with your use, (b) you are legally authorized to act on behalf of those you represent and accept these terms and conditions on their behalf, and (c) the information supplied by you or members of your group is true and correct. You are responsible for informing such other persons of all terms and conditions applicable to their travel arrangements. You understand that you are financially responsible for any use of our services or website by you and those using your name or account.
If You Change Your Booking Where a change requested by you to your travel arrangements is permitted and possible, our standard service fees will apply in addition to any additional Supplier charges. Please contact us directly to enquire about or request such changes. Please note that all reservation changes are subject to availability and the terms and conditions of the product purchased.
Changes to name details are not allowed by many airlines and other Suppliers. While we will endeavor to make such a change if necessary, please bear in mind that most airlines and Suppliers treat a name change as a cancellation, to which standard conditions and charges would apply.
Flights must be taken in the sequence they appear on your ticket or eticket confirmation. If you plan not to take a flight as booked, please contact the airline as far in advance as possible to discuss your options. If you do not check in on time for a confirmed reservation, the airline may register you as a ‘no-show’, which could result in extra charges and/or your whole flight itinerary being cancelled and/or render your ticket void. If You Cancel Your Booking If you cancel your arrangements, you may be entitled to a partial refund based on the cancellation terms and conditions of your Supplier(s). If you decide to cancel arrangements before the balance due date, any deposits paid are non-refundable.
Refunds will only be paid to you once we have received the funds back from the Supplier(s). Generally flight tickets cannot be refunded. We are not responsible for a Supplier’s failure to pay a refund.
If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your travel insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim your cancellation charges through your insurer.
If You Have A Complaint If you have a problem during your vacation, please inform the relevant Supplier (e.g. your hotel) immediately. Should they be unable to resolve the matter, please immediately contact us, by email or through www.cohicatravel.com. If you fail to contact us in a timely manner, we will not be able to investigate your complaint and attempt to rectify any error while you are away, and this may affect your rights under this Agreement.
Travel Documents and Destinations It is your responsibility to ensure that all of the details on your travel documents are correct and to bring to our attention any errors or discrepancies immediately. Your travel documents are valuable and should be carefully safeguarded. It is not always possible to replace travel documents in the case of loss, theft, damage, etc.
Prior to booking international travel, we recommend that you review any U.S. Government’s prohibitions, warnings and advisories applicable to your destinations. By offering travel to any particular destination, we do not represent that travel in such destination is safe or without risk.
You further agree that in connection with your activities, you will not permit the use of our services or website by anyone that resides or is staying in a country for which such use is prohibited under U.S. regulations.
Passport, Visa and Immigration Requirements It is your responsibility to fulfill the passport, visa and other immigration requirements applicable to your itinerary. You should confirm these with the relevant embassies and/or consulates. We do not accept any responsibility in the case of you being unable to travel due to not complying with any such requirements.
Insurance We recommend you take out adequate insurance for the duration of your trip. We do not offer insurance. Travel Advice and Vaccinations U.S. Citizens should refer to the travel advice posted by the U.S. Department of State at travel.state.gov for all the countries you intend to visit. 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.
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 Disinsection Information page on their website at the time of booking for further information, visit http://airconsumer.dot.gov/spray.htm.
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 (up to 70 ounces total) of medicinal and toilet articles carried in your luggage and certain smoking materials carried on your person.
