2. USE OF SITE.

As previously stated, we unfortunately have no other alternatives than those already presented to you and can only rely on the terms and conditions posted on our web site related to our not accepting responsibility or liability for third party content or systems we have no control over.  

In regards to airfare reservations, our site, like most other online travel sites are simply intermediates to multiple airlines and air consolidators, with the data displayed coming from service(s) which aggregates the airfare data, airline schedules and facilitates bookings through interfaces to global airline reservation system and/or individual airline reservation system, as well as databases of consolidator airfares where the consolidators store their specially negotiated airfares.  These consolidators or agencies process the payments and issue the tickets.  Our web site simply link to these service(s), add a small mark-up, provide the customer service, but have no control over the content, varying terms of use each supplier has, their service or the numerous interconnected airfare databases and reservation systems.  Thus, our the terms and conditions for your using the booking engine posted on our web site explains this and excludes our being liable for problems with third party data and systems we rely on.  As specialists and pioneers with online reservation services, our users can be assured that if we closely monitor consolidators' content or service and only include consolidators or other suppliers who do not meet our high standards, where the system provides us the possibility in include or exclude such companies.  Though when it comes to reservation services and the related systems for consolidator airfares and/or the global airline reservation systems they are interfaced we have no control or choice.

In actuality, the consolidators we use and airfare data they maintain, as well as the reservation systems they  use, are very reliable.  Under 1% of confirmed reservations encounter problems, which usually are either incorrect or outdated airfare data or glitches in various interconnected reservation systems.  These problems are usually caught and reported to our customers within one business day following their receipt of the confirmed reservations with options, if any are available.
