Advisory and Booking Services - Terms and Conditions
The following terms and conditions (Terms) apply to all of our services. It is important that you read the Terms carefully and you do not utilise our services unless you understand the Terms.
In these Terms:
“we”, “us” and “our” means, in each case, Walk Travel Advisory Pty Ltd (ACN 082 978 676); and
“you” or “your” means any person who uses our services or who acquires a Travel Product through us (even where we have not dealt directly with the person; for example where bookings are made by one person for another person or persons).
In these Terms, some words or phrases have a special meaning. That is generally indicated by capitalising the first letter of the word or phrase. Special meanings used in these Terms are set out under the heading “Definitions” below.
Our Business
We are a supplier of Advisory & Booking services. Our services involve assisting our customers in selecting and acquiring Travel Products. We do this through our website and through direct engagement.
We are not a supplier of Travel Products. Where we assist you to acquire a Travel Product, you acquire the Travel Product from a Third Party Travel Provider. We act as agent for that Third Party Travel Provider.
Third Party Travel Provider Services
If you acquire a Travel Product, the terms and conditions of the relevant Third Party Travel Provider will apply to all aspects of that Travel Product. Those terms and conditions are additional to our Terms which continue to apply to our services to you.
The terms and conditions of the Third Party Travel Provider are available from that person and may include rules and restrictions about the use and availability of products and services, refund and cancellation policies and limitations or exclusions of liability for death, personal injury, delay or loss or damage to baggage.
You should obtain and read all of the Third Party Travel Provider's terms and conditions before making a booking.
You pay the Third Party Travel Provider for providing the Travel Product to you.
We do not provide you with the Travel Product and you do not pay us for acquiring the Travel Product. We also do not act as your agent when you acquire Advisory & Booking Services from us or a Travel Product from a Third Party Travel Provider or when you seek a refund from the Third Party Travel Provider. Accordingly, you agree not to seek to charge back any credit card payment to us.
As agent for the Third Party Travel Provider, we are not liable to you for a breach of obligations by the Third Party Travel Provider in providing you with a Travel Product. We do not provide a warranty regarding the standard of any Travel Product or any other aspect of any Travel Product. To the extent that a Third Party Travel Provider breaches its obligations to you in respect of a Travel Product or a Travel Product does not meet your expectations, any claim you may have is against that Third Party Travel Provider.
Our Advisory and Booking Services
We provide you with Advisory & Booking Services and you pay us for those services. We accept responsibility for providing our Advisory & Booking Services to you in accordance with these Terms.
Subject to that responsibility and the application of consumer guarantees which may be implied into the supply of Advisory & Booking Services to you, we are not otherwise responsible or liable to you or anyone else (including for negligence, breach of contract or tort) for any loss or damage (including specific, direct, indirect, consequential, economic loss, incidental damages, lost profits or savings or damages for disappointment) which is suffered directly or indirectly in connection with:
the delivery or non-delivery of any Travel Product;
any act or omission of Third Party Travel Providers or other third parties;
any failure of a Travel Product to meet a description of it; or
use of (or inability to use) our Website or any linked website.
Where we provide itinerary planning assistance, it is for you to determine whether any travel options referred to by us are suitable for you. We will not have sufficient information concerning you or your travel plans to provide advice as to whether a particular travel option is suitable for you. In addition, there may be risks involved in activities covered by a travel option referred to by us. Our itinerary planning assistance does not address those risks. If you choose to undertake any of those activities, you should undertake your own assessment of the risks involved and your ability to deal with such risks. We are not liable to you or anyone else for any injury or loss arising from undertaking any of the activities covered by a travel option referred to by us.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or restrict the application of consumer guarantees under consumer protection laws, but we do not give any guarantee or warranty and do not make any representation of any kind, express or implied, with respect to the Advisory & Booking Services supplied by us outside these laws.
Booking and Payment Terms
All Travel Products referred to by us are subject to availability and can be withdrawn without notice by the Third Party Travel Provider. Travel Products may also change at any time in accordance with the terms and conditions you agree with the Third Party Travel Provider.
When making a booking you must provide us with details of each traveller correctly and according to their passport or other identification document. Some Third Party Travel Providers will deny carriage if the traveller's name varies from their booking and may cancel automatically if the traveller's name is amended. We have no responsibility for any loss or damage arising from the incorrect entry of a traveller's name or as a result of the Third Party Travel Provider's policies.
Travel Products are not guaranteed until payment has been made in full and documents have been processed.
It is your responsibility to contact the Third Party Travel Provider prior to departure to ensure there is no change to the scheduled departure time.
Some Third Party Travel Providers (including most airlines) offer only electronic confirmation of your reservation, or 'e-ticketing'. We are not responsible if your e-ticket does not arrive due to an incorrect email address or your junk email settings. You must notify us immediately if you change your email address or contact telephone number after making a booking. It is your responsibility to advise us if you have not received your e-ticket confirmation.
Payments processed in foreign currency (currency other than the original card holder’s country of issue), may incur a currency conversion fee. Please refer to your financial institution for applicable fees.
We accept the following payment methods:
Debit Cards:
Visa (fee free)
Mastercard (fee free)
Credit Card:
Visa (an additional 1.5% applies to amounts paid by Visa credit card)
Mastercard (an additional 1.3% applies to amounts paid by Mastercard credit card)
American Express (an additional 1.8% applies to amounts paid by American Express credit card)
International credit cards (an additional 3.0% applies to amounts paid by an international credit card, being a credit card issued by a non-Australian bank).
Changes in prices for Travel Products
Prices for Travel Products are provided as a guide only and may vary due to peak demand periods, changes in surcharges, fees or taxes or currency fluctuations.
You should always check the terms and conditions applicable to the price of a Travel Product before acquiring it. For example, it will often be open to a Third Party Travel Provider to change the price of your Travel Product at any time up to your departure if any new surcharges, fees or taxes are introduced or if any existing surcharges, fees or taxes are varied, even after you have paid all of the quoted price for your Travel Product.
Refunds
We will not provide you with a refund for fees associated with our Advisory & Booking Services (including credit card fees).
Refunds for Travel Products are subject to the terms and conditions that you agreed with the Third Party Travel Provider.
To the extent that a refund requested by you is received by us from the relevant Third Party Service Provider, then, subject to these Terms, we will pass this refund on to you.
Where refunds for unused services are allowed by a Third Party Travel Provider, a service fee may be charged by the Third Party Travel Provider against the value of the refund. Please ensure that, when requesting a refund, you enclose copies of all relevant documentation.
If you have a booking for a Travel Product (including flights and accommodation) but you do not show up to check-in or otherwise do not avail yourself of such Travel Product, you will not be entitled to any refund.
Cancellation and Amendments
A Third Party Travel Provider may charge cancellation and amendment fees in accordance with the terms and conditions agreed between you and the Third Party Travel Provider. Cancelled bookings may incur fees which can be up to 100% of the cost of the booking, regardless of whether travel has commenced.
If you wish to change or cancel your booking, you should contact us or the Third Party Travel Provider promptly. All changes are subject to availability, limitations and restrictions of the relevant Third Party Travel Provider.
Each individual Travel Product within an itinerary has its own rules and restrictions in relation to cancellation and amendments. Please refer to the terms and conditions applicable to each such Travel Product to familiarise yourself with those rules and restrictions prior to booking.
Where we are involved in changes or cancellations to an itinerary after a booking has been made, we may charge a fee of $60 per person. This is additional to any fee charged by the relevant Third Party Travel Provider.
Your Obligations and Warranties
You warrant to us that: (a) you are at least 18 years old and have the power and authority to enter into a binding contract with us and with the Third Party Travel Providers of the Travel Products that you acquire; (b) the information you provide us about yourself is true, accurate, current and complete (apart from any optional items) as required by any registration process; and (c) you will maintain and promptly update this information to keep it true, accurate and complete.
You warrant to us to us that you have considered acquiring comprehensive travel insurance and we are not responsible for any failure by you to acquire adequate insurance cover.
You warrant to us that you will use the Advisory & Booking Services in accordance with these Terms and you will not use the Advisory & Booking Services in any way to breach any laws or defame anyone.
Privacy
You acknowledge and agree that we may disclose some or all of your personal information as outlined in our Privacy Policy, a copy of which is on our Website. The terms of our Privacy Policy are incorporated into these Terms.
