Agents") are not permitted to use the website or mobile application of the Company for commercial
or resale purposes unless they have previously registered with the company as B2B agents, priority
partners, or franchisees and have received explicit permission from the Company.
If the Company discovers that the User has violated the preceding clause in any way, the Company
reserves the right to terminate this Agreement, block the user, or withhold payments to travel agents
or any other funds that it deems necessary, all without prior notice.
The liability arising from the present clause is completely the responsibility of the Travel Agents, and
the Company cannot be held liable for such liability in any way.
All discounts and offers mentioned on the website or mobile application are only valid for legitimate
bookings made by the Users of the Company.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Except if the Company expressly operates as a reseller in certain circumstances, the Company
always serves as an intermediary by linking the User with the individual service providers, which
include, but are not limited to, airlines, hotels, restaurants, bus operators, and so on (collectively
referred to as "Service Providers"). The Company's obligation is confined to supplying the customer
with a verified booking based on the User's preferences.
That in the event that the User encounters problems while availing of the services, the Company will
not be held responsible or accountable in any way; only the Service Provider would be held liable or
accountable.
By using the website or mobile application, the User understands and agrees that the Company is
solely acting as an intermediary between the User and the Service Providers by providing the
technological platform.
That the User understands that the information published on the Website or Mobile Application is
provided by the Service Providers, and that if such information is inaccurate, incomplete, or
completely untrue in any way, the Company will not be held liable for any breach resulting from such
actions of the Service Providers.
USERâS RESPONSIBILITY
The User hereby acknowledges and accepts that the User will read and understand all of the terms
and conditions outlined in the Agreement, as well as any other policies published by the Company
on the platforms.
That if the User makes a booking on the platforms on behalf of another person or a third party, the
User is solely responsible for communicating and ensuring that such person understands the terms
stipulated in this Agreement and all subsequent policies and agreements published on the
platforms.
That by accessing the platforms the User gives the Company the right to message or call or intimate
the User through any medium.
The User also authorises the Company's representative to contact him or her via phone, text
message, or email. This consent supersedes any choices established by the User via the National
Consumer Preference Registry (NCPR) or other comparable preferences.
SECURITY AND ACCOUNT-RELATED INFORMATION
That the User hereby agrees to protect the account-related information, including but not limited to
the username, password, and any other confidential information, at all costs.
That the User hereby agrees that if the User fails to take sufficient efforts to secure such account-
related information, the User will notify the Company at info@fareclubs.com as soon as possible.
In accordance with existing laws and regulations, the Company secures and encrypts any data
relating to credit cards, debit cards, bank information, and so on. However, in situations of fraud
detection, giving credit bookings, and so on, the Company may check some information about its
Users, such as their credit score, as and when necessary.
In circumstances where the Company contracts third parties to execute certain responsibilities on its
behalf, the Company has the right to disclose the Userâs personal information to any third party in an
anonymized form. This disclosure of information shall be carried out in compliance with the
applicable laws and regulations.
To safeguard the information submitted by the User, the Company employs the best industry
standards. However, the Company cannot guarantee that there will never be a security breach in its
systems, which might affect the User's information as well.
That if a law enforcement agency or a court of law demands such personal information about the
User, the Company maintains the right to send such information without the User's permission and
consent. The Company is under no obligation to notify the user of the same.
FEES AND PAYMENT
In addition to the reservation fee paid to the Service Providers, the Company maintains the right to
levy additional costs in the form of convenience or service charges. The Company also maintains
the right to change any and all charges at any point. Any such extra fees, including fees for changes
to the booking, shall be disclosed to the User prior to completing the booking or accepting payments
from such User.
In the event that the reservation amount, taxes, statutory fee, convenience fee, and so on are
undercharged due to a technical mistake and perhaps other reasons, the Company reserves the
right to recoup, charge, or claim the remaining payment from the User, and the User consents to
paying such a remaining balance to the Company. If the short charge is claimed prior to the
booking's use, the Company reserves the right to terminate such bookings if the balance is not paid
before the utilization date.
Any increase in the Company's pricing due to a change in tax rates or the application of additional
taxes collected by the government must be paid by the User. Taxes and levies can be imposed
without warning or in hindsight, but they must always be in compliance with the law.
In the unlikely event that a booking is not completed for whatever cause, the Company will arrange a
refund of the reservation fee given by the User and notify the User of the same. The Company is not
required to offer an alternative reservation in place of, refund against, or replace the unconfirmed
reservation. All future reservations will be regarded as separate transactions. Any relevant refunds
will be executed in accordance with the service provider's and the Company's respective rules and
policies.
The User is solely liable for any costs, charges, levies, fees, and assessments incurred as a result of
using the service, in accordance with relevant laws.
The User hereby agrees and acknowledges that all transactions, including but not limited to
accepting payment for services rendered, are accepted by the Company in the Company's account
only, and the Company has not authorised its employees, representatives, agents, or any other party
to receive any amount in any other account other than the Company's accounts. The Company will
not be held accountable in any way if the User transfers money into the personal account of another
individual.
The User shall not reveal any of his personal sensitive information, including but not limited to credit
or debit card number, CVV, OTP, card expiry date, user IDs, passwords, and so on, to anyone,
including the Company's representatives, staff, or consultants. If such information is requested by
any of the aforementioned individuals, the User must notify the Company promptly. The Company
will not be liable for any losses incurred by the User as a result of disclosing the aforementioned
information.
If a refund is granted, it will be made only to the account from which the booking was made.
SPECIAL FARE RESTRICTIONS
Special fare always non-refundable & non changeable.
INSURANCE
Obtaining adequate insurance coverage is the User's responsibility unless specifically supplied by
the Company for any particular service or deliverable. Any claims stemming from such
circumstances would be rejected by the Company.
Insurance, if supplied as part of the Company's service or product, shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of the third-party insurance company. The Company just serves as a conduit between the
User and the Insurance Company. For any claims or complaints, the User must contact the
Insurance Company immediately. The Company will not be held accountable if the Insurance
Company only partially accepts or denies the claims.
COMPLIANCE OF LIBERALIZED REMITTANCE SCHEME
(LRS)
The RBI requires PAN information for all transactions conducted under the Liberalized Remittance
Scheme (LRS), which includes any overseas bookings made on the platforms. The User declares
and affirms that the PAN data of the User/traveller will be supplied either during the time of making
the reservation or once the reservation is done. In the event that the traveller is a minor, the
Company reserves the right to demand the PAN of the minor's parent or legal guardian. The User
additionally agrees that failing to adhere to this criteria may lead to the booking being cancelled.
The User guarantees and acknowledges that the overall amount of foreign exchange acquired or
sent in India during the present fiscal year (including the current transaction) is within the RBI's
permissible limit. If the limit is exceeded before the actual remittance request is granted by the AD
Bank, the Company is required to cancel the booking in conformity with the law and issue a refund in
accordance with the cancellation policy applicable to said booking. The User further acknowledges
that any foreign exchange obtained for the purposes of overseas travel under the present
reservation will be used for the above-mentioned purpose.
The User approves the Company to recover the Userâs PAN information from the User's profile, prior
reservations, or share the Userâs data with third parties for the primary intent of accumulating or
validating PAN specifics for the specified purposes in this Agreement.
The Company does not gather the Userâs PAN information without the Userâs permission. If the User
desires to choose out of supplying the very same, or if it has previously been supplied, the User can
do so by accessing the profile information via the desktop.
The User authorises the Company to share User data with third parties in order to collect or validate
the User's PAN details.
VISA OBLIGATIONS
Foreign reservations made via the Company are subject to visa requirements, which includes but
are not limited to transit visas, which the User must achieve in accordance with the criteria of their
travel reservations and the requirements of the nations the individual wishes to visit or transit
through.
The Company assumes no liability for any challenges, which include the impossibility to travel,
arising from such visa restrictions and is also not obligated to return any amount to the User for
being unable to use the reservation because of the absence or denial of a visa, regardless of
whether the User used the Company's services for the visa process as well. Refunds, if any, will be
made in accordance with the provisions of the booking and cancellation policies.
COMPLIANCE WITH TAX COLLECTED AT SOURCE
The User expressly agrees to pay the tax collected at source ("TCS") on any reservations made
through the platforms. The tax shall be collected by the Company in compliance with the Income Tax
Act of 1961.

agrees that the User is under an obligation to furnish his or her PAN details. Such PAN details
provided to the Company shall only be used for the TCS compliances specified in the Income Tax
Act of 1961.
The User accepts that if the PAN is discovered to be incorrect or does not pertain to the User, the
Company is legally obligated to revoke the reservation and execute the refund in accordance with
the refund policy.

The User hereby accepts and recognises that the Company shall not be held accountable or liable if
such service cannot be delivered due to circumstances beyond the control of the Company or
Service Providers. Acts of God, pandemics, epidemics, terrorist operations, government decisions,
and so on are examples of such scenarios.
If the Company becomes aware of any of the aforementioned cases where bookings are not
honored, it will use its best efforts to provide a comparable alternative to the User or reimburse the
booking money after deducting relevant service costs, if supported and returned by that specific
Service Provider. The User acknowledges that the Company, as a simple conduit of the services
and products booked, cannot be held liable for any such Force Majeure event. For any additional
resolutions or reimbursements, the User must contact the Service Provider directly.
If a booking is not confirmed due to technical challenges, the User accepts that the Company's
liability is restricted to reimbursing the reservation payment, if any, received from the User. This
refund will completely absolve the company of all liabilities stemming from the transaction. Any
additional liabilities incurred must be met entirely by the User.
ADVERTISEMENTS ON THE COMPANYâS WEBSITE AND
RELATED SITES
Third-party websites may be linked to the company's website. However, the company has no control
over such websites and accepts no responsibility for their content. If a User visits a third-party
website, the User does so solely at his or her own risk, and the Company accepts no obligation for
the same.
The Company is not liable for any mistakes, omissions, or statements on any of its sites, links, or
connected website pages, unless such information is updated or given promptly by the Service
Providers or advertising.

recommended to double-check the accuracy of any information supplied on third-party web pages.

emerges from the linked websites.
RIGHT TO CANCEL
The User explicitly agrees to supply the Company with accurate and up-to-date information when
using the Website in accordance with the Agreement, and not to make any false or misleading
statements. Any failure on the side of the User would bar the User from using the Company's
services.
If the Company or any of its representatives discovers or believes that the information provided by
the user is false, frivolous, misleading, or inaccurate, including reservations made on behalf of
another person, the company reserves the right not only to terminate the Agreement but also to
initiate legal proceedings against the user in any manner the Company deems appropriate.
The Company shall not be held accountable in any way for any liability arising out of the
circumstances listed in the previous sub-clause.
If any law enforcement agency, government agency, statutory authority established by legislation, or
court of law orders the Company to cancel any User's booking, the Company reserves the right to
cancel the booking without requiring the User's consent. In such cases, the Company is also not
required to notify the User of the cancellation.
The User shall not hold the Company accountable for any loss or damage caused by the Company's
steps to safeguard its own and other authentic customer's' interests. This includes the Company
refusing or cancelling any bookings based on potential fraudulent transactions.
SPAMMING AND PHISHING
That the User hereby agrees and accepts that the Company has not permitted its authorised
representatives or employees to solicit financial information from the User, including but not limited
to debit card details, credit card details, CVV numbers, net banking details, or any other sensitive
information. That the user will not only hold the company liable if a third party approaches the User
and asks the user to transfer funds into an account not in the Company's name.

party programmes. That if the User believes that the Company's authorised representatives or

immediately at info@fareclubs.com.
RIGHT TO REFUSE
The Company reserves the right to accept or reject the User's booking without providing a reason.
The Company will not release or share the reservation confirmation data with the User until the
Company receives the advance payment, which includes all relevant taxes and fees..
In the following circumstances, the Company reserves the right to restrict or suspend the User's
account or refuse to grant the User access to the website or mobile application:.
- If the User breaches any of the terms and conditions of the End-User Agreement or any other
agreements published on the sites..

or objectionable in any other manner.

health risks, epidemics, pandemics, behavioral disorders, and so on, the User will not hold the
Company accountable. The User understands and agrees that the Company is only acting as a go-
between the User and the Service Provider. For the purposes of this subclause, "services" comprise
both those that the Company can and cannot manage.

respective officers, directors, lawful successors, and assigns from and against any and all losses,
liabilities, claims, damages, costs, and expenses (including legal fees and disbursements in
connection therewith and interest chargeable thereon) asserted against or incurred by such
indemnified persons and arising out of, resulting from, or payable as a result of any breach under the
Agreement and all other agreements published on the platforms of the Company.
That if the User violates the laws of any jurisdiction, the Company will not be held accountable for
such violation.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO FLIGHT TICKETS
The Company merely serves as an intermediary between the User and the Airlines, and all of the
Airlines's terms and conditions, including all of the Airline's policies, apply to the User.
Airlines have the right to rearrange flight timings, alter or cancel flights or itineraries without prior
notice to the Company. As an intermediary, the Company has no influence or power over the
operations of the airlines and is thus not responsible for any injury, direct or indirect, that a User may
suffer as a result of such a flight alteration or cancellation.
Different airfares may have different limits or contain different amenities and prices.
The luggage allowance on a given ticket is determined by the airline, and the Company has no say
in the matter whatsoever. Some of the rates displayed in the purchasing flow are "hand baggage
fares," which do not qualify the User for complimentary check-in luggage and must therefore be paid
for separately. The cost of adding check-in luggage to a reservation varies per airline. The User is
encouraged to contact the airlines for specific pricing.
That in the Airlines industry, different airlines enter into a code-sharing arrangement. For the
purposes of this clause, the term "Code-Share" means a marketing arrangement where an airline
places its designator code on a flight operated by another airline and then sells tickets for that flight.
In cases where the user's flight is a "code-share," the User must be notified as soon as possible.
That the indication referred to in the previous subclause shall be issued only after the airline has
informed the Company of the same.
The final price indicated on the payment page of the Website and Mobile Application primarily
involves the base price, relevant government taxes, and a convenience charge. Prior to the
completion of their booking, User shall pay the complete price in relation to the booking. The
Company retains the right to cancel the reservation if the User does not deposit the total amount. On
the day of travel, the User undertakes to pay all relevant statutory taxes, surcharges, and fees.
To qualify for infant prices, the child must be under the age of 24 months for the full route. This
includes both departure and return trips. If the child is 24 months or older on the return journey, the
User must make a separate reservation using a child fee. Infants and children must be accompanied
by an adult, according to airline rules, and shall follow all applicable rules.
That the User always ensures that he or she has all of the documentation required by the airlines. If
the User makes a booking on behalf of another passenger, the User must personally ensure that the
traveller has all necessary documentation. The Company will not be held accountable in any way if
the User is unable to travel due to a lack of valid documentation.
The User is required to check in at the airport at the time specified by the airline, and it is the User's
sole responsibility to confirm the appropriate check-in timings with the airline.
If the User wishes to make changes to previously booked reservations, the User must do so in
accordance with the airline's policies. If the User is required to pay an additional sum as a result of a
change in the reservations, the User is obligated to pay the same.
Refunds will be issued in accordance with the airline's pricing restrictions and cancellation policy.
Such refunds are contingent on the Company obtaining them from the airlines. The convenience
charge paid to the Company at the time of booking, on the other hand, is non-refundable. All
cancellations made directly with the airline must be communicated to the Company in order for the
refund procedure to begin. Refund processing times may vary based on the manner of payment,
bank, and so on. The refund will be executed once the Company service fee, which is separate from
the convenience fee specified above, has been deducted.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO CHARTER
The booking or hiring of an entire jet, aircraft, or helicopter as available with the charter company is
referred to as a charter facility.
The Charter facility booked via the Website or Mobile Application is subject to the Charter
Company's terms and conditions, which includes but are not restricted to cancellation and refund.
This will be communicated to the User both during the booking process and via the booking
confirmation voucher.
The User agrees that the Company just serves as a conduit for the User to book a Charter. The
service contract is always between the User and the pertinent Charter Company.
The charter booking will be controlled by the Charter Company's agreements, and the Charter
Company retains the right to cancel or postpone the charter scheduled due to circumstances such
as inclement weather, lockdown, operational needs, or any unexpected technical/mechanical fault.
An alternate charter is subject to availability and is entirely at the discretion of the Charter Company,
over which the Company has no authority. Any fare difference will be invoiced based on the fare in
effect at the time of rescheduling the charter flight.
Carry-on luggage/baggage allowance, boarding and lodging facilities, number of passengers, meals,
and so on are subject to the charter company's rules, and the Company has no say in the matter.
The Company may enable communication on the User's demands to the Charter Company;
although, fulfilment of those requests is exclusively the Charter Company's discretion.
Any modifications to an existing booking will be subject to the Charter Company's charges. In the
case of a change or modification to an existing reservation, the User is required to pay the
necessary charges as applicable.
The User acknowledges that the Charter Company requires passenger names, nationality, passport
numbers, dates of issuance and expiration, medical reports, and other information well in advance in
order to secure appropriate security clearances and to fly. User further acknowledges that any
inability to travel owing to a lack of proper travel papers or refusal to board is completely the User's
fault, and the Company accepts no responsibility for the same.
Refunds will be issued in accordance with the Charter fare regulations and cancellation policy. Such
reimbursements are conditional on the Company obtaining them from the Charter Company. The
convenience charge paid to the Company at the time of booking is non-refundable. The refund will
be credited to the same account that was used to make the payment.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO CHARTER
The Company just acts as an intermediary, providing a technological medium for the User to pick
and book a certain hotel. In this sense, hotels cover all types of lodgings, including hotels,
homestays, bed and breakfast stays, farm houses, and any other alternative accommodations. All
information about the hotel, including the hotel's categorization, pictures, room type, services, and
facilities, is based on information supplied by the hotel to the Company. This material is mainly for
reference purposes. Any disparity between the website photographs and the real hotel settings must
be reported with the hotel directly and addressed between the User and the hotel. The Company will
bear no obligation or liability for any differences during the resolution stage.
The hotel booking voucher that the Company delivers to a User is completely dependent on
the information furnished or updated by the hotel to the Company. The Company will not be held
accountable under any situations for a hotel's inability to entertain the User with a scheduled
reservation, the level of service, any inadequacy in the services, or any other service-related
difficulties at the hotel.
The Company's responsibility in the event of a hotel denying check-in for any cause, including over-
booking, system or technical errors, or unavailability of rooms, etc., will be confined to either offering
an equivalent alterative accommodation at the Company's prerogative, or reimbursing the booking
sum (to the extent paid) to the User. Any other service-related concerns must be handled directly
between the User and the hotel.
The hotel has sole admission authority, and the Company has no influence in the hotel's admittance
or denial of admission. Some hotels may not allow unmarried or unrelated couples to check in,
depending on their policy. Similarly, if appropriate evidence of identification is not produced at the
time of check-in, lodging may be refused to guests posing as a couple. Some hotels may also refuse
to accept local residents as guests. The Company shall not be liable for any check-in rejected by the
hotel owing to the aforementioned reasons or any other cause beyond the Company's control. There
would be no reimbursement if the hotel refused check-in under such conditions.
The User hereby accepts and agrees that the User would be obliged to make good any damage(s)
caused to the hotel's property by any conduct of his/her/their accompanying guests which shall
include the damage caused wilfully or due to negligence. The degree and cost of the damages
would be assessed by the hotel in question. The Company would not intervene in this matter in any
manner.
To check into the hotel, the primary guest must be at least 18 years old.
At the time of check-in, the User must present a valid identification and address certificate. The hotel
reserves the right to refuse a User's check-in if a proper identity proof is not supplied at the time of
check-in or the said proof is deemed to be untrue.
Check-in and check-out times, as well as any modifications to those times, are subject to hotel policy
and terms. Reservations for early check-in or late check-out are dependent on availability, and the
hotel may impose an extra cost for such services.
The booking fee paid by the User is exclusively for the Userâs stay at the hotel. Some reservations
may include breakfast and/or meals, which will be verified at the time of booking. Any other services
used by the User at the hotel, such as laundry, room service, internet, telephone, extra food, drinks,
beverages, and so on, must be paid for directly by the User to the hotel, and the User cannot
approach the Company for a waiver of such charges or a refund of any kind.
The payment towards the booking of the hotel can be done in two ways, i.e., "prepaid" and "pay at
hotel". The complete booking amount is paid by the User at the time of booking in the "Prepaid"
model. This total booking cost comprises the hotel booking rate, tariffs, any service charge levied by
the genuine service provider, and any extra service charges or convenience fees levied by the
Company.
On a case-by-case basis, and at the sole discretion of the hotel or the Company, the User may be
given the option to submit a partial payment to the Company at the time of booking confirmation. The
rest of the booking money must be paid in accordance with the terms of the booking. For security
reasons, the User must supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the
bank or credit card information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves
the right to cancel the booking and pursue any legal action it deems appropriate.
The "Pay at hotel" model requires the hotel to receive the complete money for the reservation at the
time of check-in. In the event of overseas reservations, the payment will be processed in local
currency or any other denomination that the hotel determines. For security reasons, the User must
supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the bank or credit card
information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves
CONDITIONS RELATED TO BUS
The Company exclusively offers a technological platform that links prospective passengers with bus
operators. It does not run buses or provide transportation services to the User. In addition, when
delivering the aforementioned technological platform services, the Company does not serve as an
agent or affiliate of any bus operator.
The bus ticket booking voucher that the Company gives to a User is exclusively dependent on seat
availability information given or updated by the bus operator. The bus operator provides the facilities,
services, routes, rates, timetable, bus type, seat availability, and any other facts relevant to the bus
service, and the Company has no influence over such information.
The Company, in its capacity as a technological platform that facilitates transactions between bus
operators and Users, shall not be liable for the bus operator's activities, including but not limited to

The Company's services should not be interpreted or understood as Visa advising or consultation in
any form since it operates on the user's instructions. The User agrees that the User is entirely
responsible for understanding the visa criteria for the selected destination country or countries and
instructing the Company appropriately to begin the visa application process.
The Company's function is restricted to notifying the User about the documentation requirements for
obtaining a visa in a given country or region or obtaining the papers submitted by the User, and
submitting those documents to the appropriate embassy or high commission. The Company
provides such criteria for making a visa application (including, but not limited to, documents, fees,
and time periods) based on information supplied by the particular embassy or high-commission. The
Company cannot and will not provide advice on the merit, completeness, appropriateness, or
possibility of acceptance or denial of a visa application.
The company may also provide information on the average time it takes for an embassy or high
commission to process a visa application. However, it is the User's obligation to contact the
Company for a visa application in a timely basis in order to acquire the visa before to the period of
departure.

information, there may be times when the necessary information is not made accessible to the
Company, and as a consequence, the Company may be unable to offer the same to its Users. In
such instances, the Company will not be held liable for any errors or omissions in such information.
The decision to grant or deny a visa is entirely at the discretion of the embassy or high commission
to which the visa application is filed. The Company has no part in evaluating or approving the visa
application. This acceptance or denial is based on a variety of variables, including the information
supplied by the User, current or prior nationality, site of visa application, residency, gender, age,
occupation, recent travel, and religion.
At its own discretion, the concerned consulate, embassy, or high commission may summon the User

relevant Embassy or High Commission.

guarantee that the passport is securely handed to the user. However, the Company will not be held
accountable if the passport is misplaced or lost in transit by the logistical service provider.

actions in delaying or failing to issue the visa for any cause. In addition, the Company is not
responsible for any incidental expenditures or additional costs by the User as a consequence of this
agreement. Even if a visa is approved, the User may be denied entrance in some cases since local
immigration officials have the last word on entry decisions.
Certain nations may have extra requirements in addition to a Visa. For example, if the User(s) is
travelling to Dubai, an "OK TO BOARD" clearance may be necessary. The user acknowledges that
granting or rejecting "permission to board" is entirely at the discretion of the relevant airline or
department, and the Company has no say in the matter. The Company only acts as an intermediary
between the User and the relevant department/airline for the implementation of "OK TO BOARD."

information, as these will be the only points of contact for a prompt update on the progress of their

- When the Company returns a User's passport and documents, it is the User's obligation to ensure
that all necessary visas have been secured and that the information included within is valid and
corresponds to their trip schedule. In addition, the User must ensure the personal information given
on the visa.
- so strictly in accordance with the User's instructions. The reapplying or appealing will be treated as a
new activity, and the User will be required to pay the relevant fee as well as a service fee to the
Company. Unless otherwise instructed by the User, the Company will not pursue any visa
reapplication.
- In some situations, the Company's third-party vendor may reject to file the User's visa application
based on the User's credentials, which may be decided based on the documentation supplied by the
User. This will only be performed if the vendor believes that there is a significant chance of the visa
being refused. If extra documents are necessary in such circumstances, the User will be notified,
and the request will be sent only if such further documentation are presented and deemed to be in
order. However, if the vendor does not file the application, the visa money will be returned, but the
Companys service charge will continue to be non-refundable.
The Company will ask the User a service charge to cover the expense of presenting the request to
the respective embassy on the User's behalf. This service price is in additional to visa fees, embassy
charges, and other comparable fees, under whatever name or as authorised by the particular
embassy. When contracting the Company to perform visa-related services, the User shall deposit
the service cost. The Company is not obligated to return the service costs for any cause, including if
the User chooses not to complete the visa application or when the visa application is refused.
In addition to the aforementioned service costs, any expenses for logistics, such as documentation
collection, passport collection, courier expenses, and so on, or any additional expense spent by the
Company outside of its ordinary area of activity must be independently charged to the Company by
the User.
Embassy fees, taxes, and other costs that are not under the Company's control are subject to
change without prior notification by embassies or government agencies, and the Company cannot
be held accountable for this. After the visa application is filed to the particular embassy, such fees,

the particular embassy, and the Company has no influence over it.

All travel agents, tour operators, consolidators, or aggregators (hereinafter referred to as "Travel
Agents") are not permitted to use the website or mobile application of the Company for commercial
or resale purposes unless they have previously registered with the company as B2B agents, priority
partners, or franchisees and have received explicit permission from the Company.
If the Company discovers that the User has violated the preceding clause in any way, the Company
reserves the right to terminate this Agreement, block the user, or withhold payments to travel agents
or any other funds that it deems necessary, all without prior notice.
The liability arising from the present clause is completely the responsibility of the Travel Agents, and
the Company cannot be held liable for such liability in any way.
All discounts and offers mentioned on the website or mobile application are only valid for legitimate
bookings made by the Users of the Company.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Except if the Company expressly operates as a reseller in certain circumstances, the Company
always serves as an intermediary by linking the User with the individual service providers, which
include, but are not limited to, airlines, hotels, restaurants, bus operators, and so on (collectively
referred to as "Service Providers"). The Company's obligation is confined to supplying the customer
with a verified booking based on the User's preferences.
That in the event that the User encounters problems while availing of the services, the Company will
not be held responsible or accountable in any way; only the Service Provider would be held liable or
accountable.
By using the website or mobile application, the User understands and agrees that the Company is
solely acting as an intermediary between the User and the Service Providers by providing the
technological platform.
That the User understands that the information published on the Website or Mobile Application is
provided by the Service Providers, and that if such information is inaccurate, incomplete, or
completely untrue in any way, the Company will not be held liable for any breach resulting from such
actions of the Service Providers.
USERâS RESPONSIBILITY
The User hereby acknowledges and accepts that the User will read and understand all of the terms
and conditions outlined in the Agreement, as well as any other policies published by the Company
on the platforms.
That if the User makes a booking on the platforms on behalf of another person or a third party, the
User is solely responsible for communicating and ensuring that such person understands the terms
stipulated in this Agreement and all subsequent policies and agreements published on the
platforms.
That by accessing the platforms the User gives the Company the right to message or call or intimate
the User through any medium.
The User also authorises the Company's representative to contact him or her via phone, text
message, or email. This consent supersedes any choices established by the User via the National
Consumer Preference Registry (NCPR) or other comparable preferences.
SECURITY AND ACCOUNT-RELATED INFORMATION
That the User hereby agrees to protect the account-related information, including but not limited to
the username, password, and any other confidential information, at all costs.
That the User hereby agrees that if the User fails to take sufficient efforts to secure such account-
related information, the User will notify the Company at info@fareclubs.com as soon as possible.
In accordance with existing laws and regulations, the Company secures and encrypts any data
relating to credit cards, debit cards, bank information, and so on. However, in situations of fraud
detection, giving credit bookings, and so on, the Company may check some information about its
Users, such as their credit score, as and when necessary.
In circumstances where the Company contracts third parties to execute certain responsibilities on its
behalf, the Company has the right to disclose the Userâs personal information to any third party in an
anonymized form. This disclosure of information shall be carried out in compliance with the
applicable laws and regulations.
To safeguard the information submitted by the User, the Company employs the best industry
standards. However, the Company cannot guarantee that there will never be a security breach in its
systems, which might affect the User's information as well.
That if a law enforcement agency or a court of law demands such personal information about the
User, the Company maintains the right to send such information without the User's permission and
consent. The Company is under no obligation to notify the user of the same.
FEES AND PAYMENT
In addition to the reservation fee paid to the Service Providers, the Company maintains the right to
levy additional costs in the form of convenience or service charges. The Company also maintains
the right to change any and all charges at any point. Any such extra fees, including fees for changes
to the booking, shall be disclosed to the User prior to completing the booking or accepting payments
from such User.
In the event that the reservation amount, taxes, statutory fee, convenience fee, and so on are
undercharged due to a technical mistake and perhaps other reasons, the Company reserves the
right to recoup, charge, or claim the remaining payment from the User, and the User consents to
paying such a remaining balance to the Company. If the short charge is claimed prior to the
booking's use, the Company reserves the right to terminate such bookings if the balance is not paid
before the utilization date.
Any increase in the Company's pricing due to a change in tax rates or the application of additional
taxes collected by the government must be paid by the User. Taxes and levies can be imposed
without warning or in hindsight, but they must always be in compliance with the law.
In the unlikely event that a booking is not completed for whatever cause, the Company will arrange a
refund of the reservation fee given by the User and notify the User of the same. The Company is not
required to offer an alternative reservation in place of, refund against, or replace the unconfirmed
reservation. All future reservations will be regarded as separate transactions. Any relevant refunds
will be executed in accordance with the service provider's and the Company's respective rules and
policies.
The User is solely liable for any costs, charges, levies, fees, and assessments incurred as a result of
using the service, in accordance with relevant laws.
The User hereby agrees and acknowledges that all transactions, including but not limited to
accepting payment for services rendered, are accepted by the Company in the Company's account
only, and the Company has not authorised its employees, representatives, agents, or any other party
to receive any amount in any other account other than the Company's accounts. The Company will
not be held accountable in any way if the User transfers money into the personal account of another
individual.
The User shall not reveal any of his personal sensitive information, including but not limited to credit
or debit card number, CVV, OTP, card expiry date, user IDs, passwords, and so on, to anyone,
including the Company's representatives, staff, or consultants. If such information is requested by
any of the aforementioned individuals, the User must notify the Company promptly. The Company
will not be liable for any losses incurred by the User as a result of disclosing the aforementioned
information.
If a refund is granted, it will be made only to the account from which the booking was made.
SPECIAL FARE RESTRICTIONS
Special fare always non-refundable & non changeable.
INSURANCE
Obtaining adequate insurance coverage is the User's responsibility unless specifically supplied by
the Company for any particular service or deliverable. Any claims stemming from such
circumstances would be rejected by the Company.
Insurance, if supplied as part of the Company's service or product, shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of the third-party insurance company. The Company just serves as a conduit between the
User and the Insurance Company. For any claims or complaints, the User must contact the
Insurance Company immediately. The Company will not be held accountable if the Insurance
Company only partially accepts or denies the claims.
COMPLIANCE OF LIBERALIZED REMITTANCE SCHEME
(LRS)
The RBI requires PAN information for all transactions conducted under the Liberalized Remittance
Scheme (LRS), which includes any overseas bookings made on the platforms. The User declares
and affirms that the PAN data of the User/traveller will be supplied either during the time of making
the reservation or once the reservation is done. In the event that the traveller is a minor, the
Company reserves the right to demand the PAN of the minor's parent or legal guardian. The User
additionally agrees that failing to adhere to this criteria may lead to the booking being cancelled.
The User guarantees and acknowledges that the overall amount of foreign exchange acquired or
sent in India during the present fiscal year (including the current transaction) is within the RBI's
permissible limit. If the limit is exceeded before the actual remittance request is granted by the AD
Bank, the Company is required to cancel the booking in conformity with the law and issue a refund in
accordance with the cancellation policy applicable to said booking. The User further acknowledges
that any foreign exchange obtained for the purposes of overseas travel under the present
reservation will be used for the above-mentioned purpose.
The User approves the Company to recover the Userâs PAN information from the User's profile, prior
reservations, or share the Userâs data with third parties for the primary intent of accumulating or
validating PAN specifics for the specified purposes in this Agreement.

desires to choose out of supplying the very same, or if it has previously been supplied, the User can
do so by accessing the profile information via the desktop.

the User's PAN details.
VISA OBLIGATIONS

are not limited to transit visas, which the User must achieve in accordance with the criteria of their
travel reservations and the requirements of the nations the individual wishes to visit or transit
through.
The Company assumes no liability for any challenges, which include the impossibility to travel,
arising from such visa restrictions and is also not obligated to return any amount to the User for
being unable to use the reservation because of the absence or denial of a visa, regardless of
whether the User used the Company's services for the visa process as well. Refunds, if any, will be
made in accordance with the provisions of the booking and cancellation policies.

The User expressly agrees to pay the tax collected at source ("TCS") on any reservations made
through the platforms. The tax shall be collected by the Company in compliance with the Income Tax
Act of 1961.

agrees that the User is under an obligation to furnish his or her PAN details. Such PAN details
provided to the Company shall only be used for the TCS compliances specified in the Income Tax

The User accepts that if the PAN is discovered to be incorrect or does not pertain to the User, the
Company is legally obligated to revoke the reservation and execute the refund in accordance with
the refund policy.

The User hereby accepts and recognises that the Company shall not be held accountable or liable if
such service cannot be delivered due to circumstances beyond the control of the Company or
Service Providers. Acts of God, pandemics, epidemics, terrorist operations, government decisions,
and so on are examples of such scenarios.
If the Company becomes aware of any of the aforementioned cases where bookings are not
honored, it will use its best efforts to provide a comparable alternative to the User or reimburse the
booking money after deducting relevant service costs, if supported and returned by that specific
Service Provider. The User acknowledges that the Company, as a simple conduit of the services
and products booked, cannot be held liable for any such Force Majeure event. For any additional
resolutions or reimbursements, the User must contact the Service Provider directly.
If a booking is not confirmed due to technical challenges, the User accepts that the Company's
liability is restricted to reimbursing the reservation payment, if any, received from the User. This
refund will completely absolve the company of all liabilities stemming from the transaction. Any
additional liabilities incurred must be met entirely by the User.
ADVERTISEMENTS ON THE COMPANYâS WEBSITE AND
RELATED SITES
Third-party websites may be linked to the company's website. However, the company has no control
over such websites and accepts no responsibility for their content. If a User visits a third-party
website, the User does so solely at his or her own risk, and the Company accepts no obligation for
the same.
The Company is not liable for any mistakes, omissions, or statements on any of its sites, links, or
connected website pages, unless such information is updated or given promptly by the Service
Providers or advertising.

recommended to double-check the accuracy of any information supplied on third-party web pages.

the Company's website and that the user will not hold the Company accountable if any liability
emerges from the linked websites.
RIGHT TO CANCEL
The User explicitly agrees to supply the Company with accurate and up-to-date information when
using the Website in accordance with the Agreement, and not to make any false or misleading
statements. Any failure on the side of the User would bar the User from using the Company's
services.
If the Company or any of its representatives discovers or believes that the information provided by
the user is false, frivolous, misleading, or inaccurate, including reservations made on behalf of
another person, the company reserves the right not only to terminate the Agreement but also to
initiate legal proceedings against the user in any manner the Company deems appropriate.
The Company shall not be held accountable in any way for any liability arising out of the
circumstances listed in the previous sub-clause.
If any law enforcement agency, government agency, statutory authority established by legislation, or
court of law orders the Company to cancel any User's booking, the Company reserves the right to
cancel the booking without requiring the User's consent. In such cases, the Company is also not
required to notify the User of the cancellation.
The User shall not hold the Company accountable for any loss or damage caused by the Company's
steps to safeguard its own and other authentic customer's' interests. This includes the Company
refusing or cancelling any bookings based on potential fraudulent transactions.
SPAMMING AND PHISHING
That the User hereby agrees and accepts that the Company has not permitted its authorised
representatives or employees to solicit financial information from the User, including but not limited
to debit card details, credit card details, CVV numbers, net banking details, or any other sensitive
information. That the user will not only hold the company liable if a third party approaches the User
and asks the user to transfer funds into an account not in the Company's name.
That the Company's authorised agents or employees will never request that the User install third-
party programmes. That if the User believes that the Company's authorised representatives or
employees have requested him or her to install a third-party application, the User must immediately
notify the Company.
That in the event of the aforementioned circumstances, the User must contact the Company
immediately at info@fareclubs.com.
RIGHT TO REFUSE
The Company reserves the right to accept or reject the User's booking without providing a reason.
The Company will not release or share the reservation confirmation data with the User until the
Company receives the advance payment, which includes all relevant taxes and fees..
In the following circumstances, the Company reserves the right to restrict or suspend the User's
account or refuse to grant the User access to the website or mobile application:.
- If the User breaches any of the terms and conditions of the End-User Agreement or any other
agreements published on the sites..

against the User in any manner deemed suitable by the Company..

or objectionable in any other manner.
- which infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party..

conditions outlined in this clause..

health risks, epidemics, pandemics, behavioral disorders, and so on, the User will not hold the
Company accountable. The User understands and agrees that the Company is only acting as a go-
between the User and the Service Provider. For the purposes of this subclause, "services" comprise
both those that the Company can and cannot manage.

The User agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, and their
respective officers, directors, lawful successors, and assigns from and against any and all losses,
liabilities, claims, damages, costs, and expenses (including legal fees and disbursements in
connection therewith and interest chargeable thereon) asserted against or incurred by such
indemnified persons and arising out of, resulting from, or payable as a result of any breach under the
Agreement and all other agreements published on the platforms of the Company.
That if the User violates the laws of any jurisdiction, the Company will not be held accountable for
such violation.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO FLIGHT TICKETS
The Company merely serves as an intermediary between the User and the Airlines, and all of the
Airlines's terms and conditions, including all of the Airline's policies, apply to the User.
Airlines have the right to rearrange flight timings, alter or cancel flights or itineraries without prior
notice to the Company. As an intermediary, the Company has no influence or power over the
operations of the airlines and is thus not responsible for any injury, direct or indirect, that a User may
suffer as a result of such a flight alteration or cancellation.
Different airfares may have different limits or contain different amenities and prices.
The luggage allowance on a given ticket is determined by the airline, and the Company has no say
in the matter whatsoever. Some of the rates displayed in the purchasing flow are "hand baggage
fares," which do not qualify the User for complimentary check-in luggage and must therefore be paid
for separately. The cost of adding check-in luggage to a reservation varies per airline. The User is
encouraged to contact the airlines for specific pricing.
That in the Airlines industry, different airlines enter into a code-sharing arrangement. For the
purposes of this clause, the term "Code-Share" means a marketing arrangement where an airline
places its designator code on a flight operated by another airline and then sells tickets for that flight.
In cases where the user's flight is a "code-share," the User must be notified as soon as possible.
That the indication referred to in the previous subclause shall be issued only after the airline has
informed the Company of the same.
The final price indicated on the payment page of the Website and Mobile Application primarily
involves the base price, relevant government taxes, and a convenience charge. Prior to the
completion of their booking, User shall pay the complete price in relation to the booking. The
Company retains the right to cancel the reservation if the User does not deposit the total amount. On
the day of travel, the User undertakes to pay all relevant statutory taxes, surcharges, and fees.
To qualify for infant prices, the child must be under the age of 24 months for the full route. This
includes both departure and return trips. If the child is 24 months or older on the return journey, the
User must make a separate reservation using a child fee. Infants and children must be accompanied
by an adult, according to airline rules, and shall follow all applicable rules.
That the User always ensures that he or she has all of the documentation required by the airlines. If
the User makes a booking on behalf of another passenger, the User must personally ensure that the
traveller has all necessary documentation. The Company will not be held accountable in any way if
the User is unable to travel due to a lack of valid documentation.
The User is required to check in at the airport at the time specified by the airline, and it is the User's
sole responsibility to confirm the appropriate check-in timings with the airline.
If the User wishes to make changes to previously booked reservations, the User must do so in
accordance with the airline's policies. If the User is required to pay an additional sum as a result of a
change in the reservations, the User is obligated to pay the same.
Refunds will be issued in accordance with the airline's pricing restrictions and cancellation policy.
Such refunds are contingent on the Company obtaining them from the airlines. The convenience
charge paid to the Company at the time of booking, on the other hand, is non-refundable. All
cancellations made directly with the airline must be communicated to the Company in order for the
refund procedure to begin. Refund processing times may vary based on the manner of payment,
bank, and so on. The refund will be executed once the Company service fee, which is separate from
the convenience fee specified above, has been deducted.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO CHARTER
The booking or hiring of an entire jet, aircraft, or helicopter as available with the charter company is
referred to as a charter facility.
The Charter facility booked via the Website or Mobile Application is subject to the Charter
Company's terms and conditions, which includes but are not restricted to cancellation and refund.
This will be communicated to the User both during the booking process and via the booking
confirmation voucher.
The User agrees that the Company just serves as a conduit for the User to book a Charter. The
service contract is always between the User and the pertinent Charter Company.
The charter booking will be controlled by the Charter Company's agreements, and the Charter
Company retains the right to cancel or postpone the charter scheduled due to circumstances such
as inclement weather, lockdown, operational needs, or any unexpected technical/mechanical fault.
An alternate charter is subject to availability and is entirely at the discretion of the Charter Company,
over which the Company has no authority. Any fare difference will be invoiced based on the fare in
effect at the time of rescheduling the charter flight.
Carry-on luggage/baggage allowance, boarding and lodging facilities, number of passengers, meals,
and so on are subject to the charter company's rules, and the Company has no say in the matter.
The Company may enable communication on the User's demands to the Charter Company;
although, fulfilment of those requests is exclusively the Charter Company's discretion.
Any modifications to an existing booking will be subject to the Charter Company's charges. In the
case of a change or modification to an existing reservation, the User is required to pay the
necessary charges as applicable.
The User acknowledges that the Charter Company requires passenger names, nationality, passport
numbers, dates of issuance and expiration, medical reports, and other information well in advance in
order to secure appropriate security clearances and to fly. User further acknowledges that any
inability to travel owing to a lack of proper travel papers or refusal to board is completely the User's
fault, and the Company accepts no responsibility for the same.
Refunds will be issued in accordance with the Charter fare regulations and cancellation policy. Such
reimbursements are conditional on the Company obtaining them from the Charter Company. The
convenience charge paid to the Company at the time of booking is non-refundable. The refund will
be credited to the same account that was used to make the payment.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO CHARTER
The Company just acts as an intermediary, providing a technological medium for the User to pick
and book a certain hotel. In this sense, hotels cover all types of lodgings, including hotels,
homestays, bed and breakfast stays, farm houses, and any other alternative accommodations. All
information about the hotel, including the hotel's categorization, pictures, room type, services, and
facilities, is based on information supplied by the hotel to the Company. This material is mainly for
reference purposes. Any disparity between the website photographs and the real hotel settings must
be reported with the hotel directly and addressed between the User and the hotel. The Company will
bear no obligation or liability for any differences during the resolution stage.
The hotel booking voucher that the Company delivers to a User is completely dependent on
the information furnished or updated by the hotel to the Company. The Company will not be held
accountable under any situations for a hotel's inability to entertain the User with a scheduled
reservation, the level of service, any inadequacy in the services, or any other service-related
difficulties at the hotel.
The Company's responsibility in the event of a hotel denying check-in for any cause, including over-
booking, system or technical errors, or unavailability of rooms, etc., will be confined to either offering
an equivalent alterative accommodation at the Company's prerogative, or reimbursing the booking
sum (to the extent paid) to the User. Any other service-related concerns must be handled directly
between the User and the hotel.
The hotel has sole admission authority, and the Company has no influence in the hotel's admittance
or denial of admission. Some hotels may not allow unmarried or unrelated couples to check in,
depending on their policy. Similarly, if appropriate evidence of identification is not produced at the
time of check-in, lodging may be refused to guests posing as a couple. Some hotels may also refuse
to accept local residents as guests. The Company shall not be liable for any check-in rejected by the
hotel owing to the aforementioned reasons or any other cause beyond the Company's control. There
would be no reimbursement if the hotel refused check-in under such conditions.
The User hereby accepts and agrees that the User would be obliged to make good any damage(s)
caused to the hotel's property by any conduct of his/her/their accompanying guests which shall
include the damage caused wilfully or due to negligence. The degree and cost of the damages
would be assessed by the hotel in question. The Company would not intervene in this matter in any
manner.
To check into the hotel, the primary guest must be at least 18 years old.
At the time of check-in, the User must present a valid identification and address certificate. The hotel
reserves the right to refuse a User's check-in if a proper identity proof is not supplied at the time of
check-in or the said proof is deemed to be untrue.
Check-in and check-out times, as well as any modifications to those times, are subject to hotel policy
and terms. Reservations for early check-in or late check-out are dependent on availability, and the
hotel may impose an extra cost for such services.
The booking fee paid by the User is exclusively for the Userâs stay at the hotel. Some reservations
may include breakfast and/or meals, which will be verified at the time of booking. Any other services
used by the User at the hotel, such as laundry, room service, internet, telephone, extra food, drinks,
beverages, and so on, must be paid for directly by the User to the hotel, and the User cannot
approach the Company for a waiver of such charges or a refund of any kind.
The payment towards the booking of the hotel can be done in two ways, i.e., "prepaid" and "pay at
hotel". The complete booking amount is paid by the User at the time of booking in the "Prepaid"
model. This total booking cost comprises the hotel booking rate, tariffs, any service charge levied by
the genuine service provider, and any extra service charges or convenience fees levied by the
Company.
On a case-by-case basis, and at the sole discretion of the hotel or the Company, the User may be
given the option to submit a partial payment to the Company at the time of booking confirmation. The
rest of the booking money must be paid in accordance with the terms of the booking. For security
reasons, the User must supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the
bank or credit card information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves
the right to cancel the booking and pursue any legal action it deems appropriate.
The "Pay at hotel" model requires the hotel to receive the complete money for the reservation at the
time of check-in. In the event of overseas reservations, the payment will be processed in local
currency or any other denomination that the hotel determines. For security reasons, the User must
supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the bank or credit card
information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves
CONDITIONS RELATED TO BUS
The Company exclusively offers a technological platform that links prospective passengers with bus
operators. It does not run buses or provide transportation services to the User. In addition, when
delivering the aforementioned technological platform services, the Company does not serve as an
agent or affiliate of any bus operator.
The bus ticket booking voucher that the Company gives to a User is exclusively dependent on seat
availability information given or updated by the bus operator. The bus operator provides the facilities,
services, routes, rates, timetable, bus type, seat availability, and any other facts relevant to the bus
service, and the Company has no influence over such information.
The Company, in its capacity as a technological platform that facilitates transactions between bus
operators and Users, shall not be liable for the bus operator's activities, including but not limited to
the following:
- Departure and Arrival;
- The conduct of the bus operator, which includes its employees, representatives, and agents.
- The bus's condition, including seats, is not up to the customer's expectations or the description
supplied by the bus operator;
- The bus driver, for whatever reason, swapping a customer's seat;
- Trip cancellation for whatever cause;
- Loss or damage to the User's luggage;
- Bus operator using a separate pick-up vehicle to transport the User from the designated boarding

The Company's services should not be interpreted or understood as Visa advising or consultation in
any form since it operates on the user's instructions. The User agrees that the User is entirely
responsible for understanding the visa criteria for the selected destination country or countries and
instructing the Company appropriately to begin the visa application process.
The Company's function is restricted to notifying the User about the documentation requirements for
obtaining a visa in a given country or region or obtaining the papers submitted by the User, and
submitting those documents to the appropriate embassy or high commission. The Company
provides such criteria for making a visa application (including, but not limited to, documents, fees,
and time periods) based on information supplied by the particular embassy or high-commission. The
Company cannot and will not provide advice on the merit, completeness, appropriateness, or
possibility of acceptance or denial of a visa application.
The company may also provide information on the average time it takes for an embassy or high
commission to process a visa application. However, it is the User's obligation to contact the
Company for a visa application in a timely basis in order to acquire the visa before to the period of
departure.

information, there may be times when the necessary information is not made accessible to the

such instances, the Company will not be held liable for any errors or omissions in such information.
The decision to grant or deny a visa is entirely at the discretion of the embassy or high commission
to which the visa application is filed. The Company has no part in evaluating or approving the visa
application. This acceptance or denial is based on a variety of variables, including the information
supplied by the User, current or prior nationality, site of visa application, residency, gender, age,
occupation, recent travel, and religion.
At its own discretion, the concerned consulate, embassy, or high commission may summon the User

responsible for any incidental expenditures or additional costs by the User as a consequence of this
agreement. Even if a visa is approved, the User may be denied entrance in some cases since local
immigration officials have the last word on entry decisions.
Certain nations may have extra requirements in addition to a Visa. For example, if the User(s) is
travelling to Dubai, an "OK TO BOARD" clearance may be necessary. The user acknowledges that
granting or rejecting "permission to board" is entirely at the discretion of the relevant airline or
department, and the Company has no say in the matter. The Company only acts as an intermediary
between the User and the relevant department/airline for the implementation of "OK TO BOARD."

- When the Company returns a User's passport and documents, it is the User's obligation to ensure
that all necessary visas have been secured and that the information included within is valid and
corresponds to their trip schedule. In addition, the User must ensure the personal information given

- so strictly in accordance with the User's instructions. The reapplying or appealing will be treated as a
new activity, and the User will be required to pay the relevant fee as well as a service fee to the
Company. Unless otherwise instructed by the User, the Company will not pursue any visa
reapplication.
- In some situations, the Company's third-party vendor may reject to file the User's visa application
based on the User's credentials, which may be decided based on the documentation supplied by the
User. This will only be performed if the vendor believes that there is a significant chance of the visa
being refused. If extra documents are necessary in such circumstances, the User will be notified,
and the request will be sent only if such further documentation are presented and deemed to be in
order. However, if the vendor does not file the application, the visa money will be returned, but the
Companys service charge will continue to be non-refundable.
The Company will ask the User a service charge to cover the expense of presenting the request to
the respective embassy on the User's behalf. This service price is in additional to visa fees, embassy
charges, and other comparable fees, under whatever name or as authorised by the particular
embassy. When contracting the Company to perform visa-related services, the User shall deposit
the service cost. The Company is not obligated to return the service costs for any cause, including if
the User chooses not to complete the visa application or when the visa application is refused.
In addition to the aforementioned service costs, any expenses for logistics, such as documentation
collection, passport collection, courier expenses, and so on, or any additional expense spent by the
Company outside of its ordinary area of activity must be independently charged to the Company by
the User.
Embassy fees, taxes, and other costs that are not under the Company's control are subject to
change without prior notification by embassies or government agencies, and the Company cannot
be held accountable for this. After the visa application is filed to the particular embassy, such fees,

the particular embassy, and the Company has no influence over it.

or resale purposes unless they have previously registered with the company as B2B agents, priority
partners, or franchisees and have received explicit permission from the Company.
If the Company discovers that the User has violated the preceding clause in any way, the Company
reserves the right to terminate this Agreement, block the user, or withhold payments to travel agents
or any other funds that it deems necessary, all without prior notice.
The liability arising from the present clause is completely the responsibility of the Travel Agents, and
the Company cannot be held liable for such liability in any way.
All discounts and offers mentioned on the website or mobile application are only valid for legitimate
bookings made by the Users of the Company.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Except if the Company expressly operates as a reseller in certain circumstances, the Company
always serves as an intermediary by linking the User with the individual service providers, which
include, but are not limited to, airlines, hotels, restaurants, bus operators, and so on (collectively
referred to as "Service Providers"). The Company's obligation is confined to supplying the customer
with a verified booking based on the User's preferences.
That in the event that the User encounters problems while availing of the services, the Company will
not be held responsible or accountable in any way; only the Service Provider would be held liable or
accountable.
By using the website or mobile application, the User understands and agrees that the Company is
solely acting as an intermediary between the User and the Service Providers by providing the
technological platform.
That the User understands that the information published on the Website or Mobile Application is
provided by the Service Providers, and that if such information is inaccurate, incomplete, or
completely untrue in any way, the Company will not be held liable for any breach resulting from such
actions of the Service Providers.
USERâS RESPONSIBILITY
The User hereby acknowledges and accepts that the User will read and understand all of the terms
and conditions outlined in the Agreement, as well as any other policies published by the Company
on the platforms.
That if the User makes a booking on the platforms on behalf of another person or a third party, the
User is solely responsible for communicating and ensuring that such person understands the terms
stipulated in this Agreement and all subsequent policies and agreements published on the
platforms.
That by accessing the platforms the User gives the Company the right to message or call or intimate
the User through any medium.
The User also authorises the Company's representative to contact him or her via phone, text
message, or email. This consent supersedes any choices established by the User via the National

That the User hereby agrees to protect the account-related information, including but not limited to
the username, password, and any other confidential information, at all costs.
That the User hereby agrees that if the User fails to take sufficient efforts to secure such account-
related information, the User will notify the Company at info@fareclubs.com as soon as possible.
In accordance with existing laws and regulations, the Company secures and encrypts any data
relating to credit cards, debit cards, bank information, and so on. However, in situations of fraud
detection, giving credit bookings, and so on, the Company may check some information about its
Users, such as their credit score, as and when necessary.
In circumstances where the Company contracts third parties to execute certain responsibilities on its
behalf, the Company has the right to disclose the Userâs personal information to any third party in an
anonymized form. This disclosure of information shall be carried out in compliance with the
applicable laws and regulations.
To safeguard the information submitted by the User, the Company employs the best industry
standards. However, the Company cannot guarantee that there will never be a security breach in its
systems, which might affect the User's information as well.

User, the Company maintains the right to send such information without the User's permission and
consent. The Company is under no obligation to notify the user of the same.

the right to change any and all charges at any point. Any such extra fees, including fees for changes
to the booking, shall be disclosed to the User prior to completing the booking or accepting payments
from such User.
In the event that the reservation amount, taxes, statutory fee, convenience fee, and so on are
undercharged due to a technical mistake and perhaps other reasons, the Company reserves the
right to recoup, charge, or claim the remaining payment from the User, and the User consents to
paying such a remaining balance to the Company. If the short charge is claimed prior to the
booking's use, the Company reserves the right to terminate such bookings if the balance is not paid
before the utilization date.
Any increase in the Company's pricing due to a change in tax rates or the application of additional
taxes collected by the government must be paid by the User. Taxes and levies can be imposed
without warning or in hindsight, but they must always be in compliance with the law.
In the unlikely event that a booking is not completed for whatever cause, the Company will arrange a
refund of the reservation fee given by the User and notify the User of the same. The Company is not
required to offer an alternative reservation in place of, refund against, or replace the unconfirmed
reservation. All future reservations will be regarded as separate transactions. Any relevant refunds
will be executed in accordance with the service provider's and the Company's respective rules and
policies.
The User is solely liable for any costs, charges, levies, fees, and assessments incurred as a result of
using the service, in accordance with relevant laws.
The User hereby agrees and acknowledges that all transactions, including but not limited to
accepting payment for services rendered, are accepted by the Company in the Company's account
only, and the Company has not authorised its employees, representatives, agents, or any other party
to receive any amount in any other account other than the Company's accounts. The Company will
not be held accountable in any way if the User transfers money into the personal account of another
individual.
The User shall not reveal any of his personal sensitive information, including but not limited to credit
or debit card number, CVV, OTP, card expiry date, user IDs, passwords, and so on, to anyone,

any of the aforementioned individuals, the User must notify the Company promptly. The Company
will not be liable for any losses incurred by the User as a result of disclosing the aforementioned
information.
If a refund is granted, it will be made only to the account from which the booking was made.

the Company for any particular service or deliverable. Any claims stemming from such
circumstances would be rejected by the Company.
Insurance, if supplied as part of the Company's service or product, shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of the third-party insurance company. The Company just serves as a conduit between the
User and the Insurance Company. For any claims or complaints, the User must contact the
Insurance Company immediately. The Company will not be held accountable if the Insurance
Company only partially accepts or denies the claims.
COMPLIANCE OF LIBERALIZED REMITTANCE SCHEME
(LRS)
The RBI requires PAN information for all transactions conducted under the Liberalized Remittance
Scheme (LRS), which includes any overseas bookings made on the platforms. The User declares
and affirms that the PAN data of the User/traveller will be supplied either during the time of making
the reservation or once the reservation is done. In the event that the traveller is a minor, the
Company reserves the right to demand the PAN of the minor's parent or legal guardian. The User
additionally agrees that failing to adhere to this criteria may lead to the booking being cancelled.
The User guarantees and acknowledges that the overall amount of foreign exchange acquired or
sent in India during the present fiscal year (including the current transaction) is within the RBI's
permissible limit. If the limit is exceeded before the actual remittance request is granted by the AD
Bank, the Company is required to cancel the booking in conformity with the law and issue a refund in
accordance with the cancellation policy applicable to said booking. The User further acknowledges
that any foreign exchange obtained for the purposes of overseas travel under the present
reservation will be used for the above-mentioned purpose.

reservations, or share the Userâs data with third parties for the primary intent of accumulating or
validating PAN specifics for the specified purposes in this Agreement.

travel reservations and the requirements of the nations the individual wishes to visit or transit
through.
The Company assumes no liability for any challenges, which include the impossibility to travel,
arising from such visa restrictions and is also not obligated to return any amount to the User for
being unable to use the reservation because of the absence or denial of a visa, regardless of
whether the User used the Company's services for the visa process as well. Refunds, if any, will be
made in accordance with the provisions of the booking and cancellation policies.

such service cannot be delivered due to circumstances beyond the control of the Company or
Service Providers. Acts of God, pandemics, epidemics, terrorist operations, government decisions,
and so on are examples of such scenarios.
If the Company becomes aware of any of the aforementioned cases where bookings are not
honored, it will use its best efforts to provide a comparable alternative to the User or reimburse the
booking money after deducting relevant service costs, if supported and returned by that specific
Service Provider. The User acknowledges that the Company, as a simple conduit of the services
and products booked, cannot be held liable for any such Force Majeure event. For any additional
resolutions or reimbursements, the User must contact the Service Provider directly.
If a booking is not confirmed due to technical challenges, the User accepts that the Company's
liability is restricted to reimbursing the reservation payment, if any, received from the User. This
refund will completely absolve the company of all liabilities stemming from the transaction. Any
additional liabilities incurred must be met entirely by the User.
ADVERTISEMENTS ON THE COMPANYâS WEBSITE AND
RELATED SITES
Third-party websites may be linked to the company's website. However, the company has no control
over such websites and accepts no responsibility for their content. If a User visits a third-party
website, the User does so solely at his or her own risk, and the Company accepts no obligation for

another person, the company reserves the right not only to terminate the Agreement but also to
initiate legal proceedings against the user in any manner the Company deems appropriate.
The Company shall not be held accountable in any way for any liability arising out of the
circumstances listed in the previous sub-clause.
If any law enforcement agency, government agency, statutory authority established by legislation, or

steps to safeguard its own and other authentic customer's' interests. This includes the Company

representatives or employees to solicit financial information from the User, including but not limited
to debit card details, credit card details, CVV numbers, net banking details, or any other sensitive
information. That the user will not only hold the company liable if a third party approaches the User
and asks the user to transfer funds into an account not in the Company's name.

CONDITIONS RELATED TO FLIGHT TICKETS
The Company merely serves as an intermediary between the User and the Airlines, and all of the
Airlines's terms and conditions, including all of the Airline's policies, apply to the User.
Airlines have the right to rearrange flight timings, alter or cancel flights or itineraries without prior
notice to the Company. As an intermediary, the Company has no influence or power over the
operations of the airlines and is thus not responsible for any injury, direct or indirect, that a User may
suffer as a result of such a flight alteration or cancellation.
Different airfares may have different limits or contain different amenities and prices.
The luggage allowance on a given ticket is determined by the airline, and the Company has no say
in the matter whatsoever. Some of the rates displayed in the purchasing flow are "hand baggage
fares," which do not qualify the User for complimentary check-in luggage and must therefore be paid
for separately. The cost of adding check-in luggage to a reservation varies per airline. The User is
encouraged to contact the airlines for specific pricing.
That in the Airlines industry, different airlines enter into a code-sharing arrangement. For the
purposes of this clause, the term "Code-Share" means a marketing arrangement where an airline
places its designator code on a flight operated by another airline and then sells tickets for that flight.
In cases where the user's flight is a "code-share," the User must be notified as soon as possible.
That the indication referred to in the previous subclause shall be issued only after the airline has
informed the Company of the same.
The final price indicated on the payment page of the Website and Mobile Application primarily
involves the base price, relevant government taxes, and a convenience charge. Prior to the
completion of their booking, User shall pay the complete price in relation to the booking. The
Company retains the right to cancel the reservation if the User does not deposit the total amount. On
the day of travel, the User undertakes to pay all relevant statutory taxes, surcharges, and fees.
To qualify for infant prices, the child must be under the age of 24 months for the full route. This
includes both departure and return trips. If the child is 24 months or older on the return journey, the
User must make a separate reservation using a child fee. Infants and children must be accompanied
by an adult, according to airline rules, and shall follow all applicable rules.
That the User always ensures that he or she has all of the documentation required by the airlines. If
the User makes a booking on behalf of another passenger, the User must personally ensure that the
traveller has all necessary documentation. The Company will not be held accountable in any way if
the User is unable to travel due to a lack of valid documentation.
The User is required to check in at the airport at the time specified by the airline, and it is the User's
sole responsibility to confirm the appropriate check-in timings with the airline.
If the User wishes to make changes to previously booked reservations, the User must do so in
accordance with the airline's policies. If the User is required to pay an additional sum as a result of a
change in the reservations, the User is obligated to pay the same.
Refunds will be issued in accordance with the airline's pricing restrictions and cancellation policy.
Such refunds are contingent on the Company obtaining them from the airlines. The convenience
charge paid to the Company at the time of booking, on the other hand, is non-refundable. All
cancellations made directly with the airline must be communicated to the Company in order for the
refund procedure to begin. Refund processing times may vary based on the manner of payment,
bank, and so on. The refund will be executed once the Company service fee, which is separate from
the convenience fee specified above, has been deducted.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO CHARTER
The booking or hiring of an entire jet, aircraft, or helicopter as available with the charter company is
referred to as a charter facility.
The Charter facility booked via the Website or Mobile Application is subject to the Charter
Company's terms and conditions, which includes but are not restricted to cancellation and refund.
This will be communicated to the User both during the booking process and via the booking
confirmation voucher.
The User agrees that the Company just serves as a conduit for the User to book a Charter. The
service contract is always between the User and the pertinent Charter Company.
The charter booking will be controlled by the Charter Company's agreements, and the Charter
Company retains the right to cancel or postpone the charter scheduled due to circumstances such
as inclement weather, lockdown, operational needs, or any unexpected technical/mechanical fault.
An alternate charter is subject to availability and is entirely at the discretion of the Charter Company,
over which the Company has no authority. Any fare difference will be invoiced based on the fare in
effect at the time of rescheduling the charter flight.
Carry-on luggage/baggage allowance, boarding and lodging facilities, number of passengers, meals,
and so on are subject to the charter company's rules, and the Company has no say in the matter.
The Company may enable communication on the User's demands to the Charter Company;
although, fulfilment of those requests is exclusively the Charter Company's discretion.
Any modifications to an existing booking will be subject to the Charter Company's charges. In the
case of a change or modification to an existing reservation, the User is required to pay the
necessary charges as applicable.
The User acknowledges that the Charter Company requires passenger names, nationality, passport
numbers, dates of issuance and expiration, medical reports, and other information well in advance in
order to secure appropriate security clearances and to fly. User further acknowledges that any
inability to travel owing to a lack of proper travel papers or refusal to board is completely the User's
fault, and the Company accepts no responsibility for the same.
Refunds will be issued in accordance with the Charter fare regulations and cancellation policy. Such
reimbursements are conditional on the Company obtaining them from the Charter Company. The
convenience charge paid to the Company at the time of booking is non-refundable. The refund will
be credited to the same account that was used to make the payment.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO CHARTER
The Company just acts as an intermediary, providing a technological medium for the User to pick
and book a certain hotel. In this sense, hotels cover all types of lodgings, including hotels,
homestays, bed and breakfast stays, farm houses, and any other alternative accommodations. All
information about the hotel, including the hotel's categorization, pictures, room type, services, and
facilities, is based on information supplied by the hotel to the Company. This material is mainly for
reference purposes. Any disparity between the website photographs and the real hotel settings must
be reported with the hotel directly and addressed between the User and the hotel. The Company will
bear no obligation or liability for any differences during the resolution stage.
The hotel booking voucher that the Company delivers to a User is completely dependent on
the information furnished or updated by the hotel to the Company. The Company will not be held
accountable under any situations for a hotel's inability to entertain the User with a scheduled
reservation, the level of service, any inadequacy in the services, or any other service-related
difficulties at the hotel.
The Company's responsibility in the event of a hotel denying check-in for any cause, including over-
booking, system or technical errors, or unavailability of rooms, etc., will be confined to either offering
an equivalent alterative accommodation at the Company's prerogative, or reimbursing the booking
sum (to the extent paid) to the User. Any other service-related concerns must be handled directly
between the User and the hotel.
The hotel has sole admission authority, and the Company has no influence in the hotel's admittance
or denial of admission. Some hotels may not allow unmarried or unrelated couples to check in,
depending on their policy. Similarly, if appropriate evidence of identification is not produced at the
time of check-in, lodging may be refused to guests posing as a couple. Some hotels may also refuse
to accept local residents as guests. The Company shall not be liable for any check-in rejected by the
hotel owing to the aforementioned reasons or any other cause beyond the Company's control. There
would be no reimbursement if the hotel refused check-in under such conditions.
The User hereby accepts and agrees that the User would be obliged to make good any damage(s)
caused to the hotel's property by any conduct of his/her/their accompanying guests which shall
include the damage caused wilfully or due to negligence. The degree and cost of the damages
would be assessed by the hotel in question. The Company would not intervene in this matter in any
manner.
To check into the hotel, the primary guest must be at least 18 years old.
At the time of check-in, the User must present a valid identification and address certificate. The hotel
reserves the right to refuse a User's check-in if a proper identity proof is not supplied at the time of
check-in or the said proof is deemed to be untrue.
Check-in and check-out times, as well as any modifications to those times, are subject to hotel policy
and terms. Reservations for early check-in or late check-out are dependent on availability, and the
hotel may impose an extra cost for such services.
The booking fee paid by the User is exclusively for the Userâs stay at the hotel. Some reservations
may include breakfast and/or meals, which will be verified at the time of booking. Any other services
used by the User at the hotel, such as laundry, room service, internet, telephone, extra food, drinks,
beverages, and so on, must be paid for directly by the User to the hotel, and the User cannot
approach the Company for a waiver of such charges or a refund of any kind.
The payment towards the booking of the hotel can be done in two ways, i.e., "prepaid" and "pay at
hotel". The complete booking amount is paid by the User at the time of booking in the "Prepaid"
model. This total booking cost comprises the hotel booking rate, tariffs, any service charge levied by
the genuine service provider, and any extra service charges or convenience fees levied by the
Company.
On a case-by-case basis, and at the sole discretion of the hotel or the Company, the User may be
given the option to submit a partial payment to the Company at the time of booking confirmation. The
rest of the booking money must be paid in accordance with the terms of the booking. For security
reasons, the User must supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the
bank or credit card information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves
the right to cancel the booking and pursue any legal action it deems appropriate.
The "Pay at hotel" model requires the hotel to receive the complete money for the reservation at the
time of check-in. In the event of overseas reservations, the payment will be processed in local
currency or any other denomination that the hotel determines. For security reasons, the User must
supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the bank or credit card
information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves

agent or affiliate of any bus operator.

availability information given or updated by the bus operator. The bus operator provides the facilities,
services, routes, rates, timetable, bus type, seat availability, and any other facts relevant to the bus
service, and the Company has no influence over such information.

For the purposes of the Agreement, the term "Cab" shall include any vehicles utilised to carry
passengers to their preferred location.
For the purposes of the Agreement, "Cab Operator" refers to any organization or person/s that
supply their cars as well as their drivers.
That the Company provides the following cab-related services:
- Outstation Cabs: allows the User(s) to book vehicles run by cab operators that have an All-
India Tourist Permit (AITP) and are travelling between two cities. The Company, as a facilitator, links
the User with the relevant cab operator based on the User's request.
- Rental Cab:This enables the User to rent or hire vehicles maintained by AITP-licensed cabs. This
service will be provided on an exclusive basis for both interstate and intracity travel by hiring the full
vehicle of the cab/taxi operators.
- Airport Drop:This will only serve the needs of airport Users travelling to and from the airport. The
service offered is intracity in nature and will not help the customer arrange interstate airport
transfers.
The Company does not have its own taxi service. It has partnered with several Cab operators in
order to give Users with a complete selection of taxi service, cab types, and pricing.
The Company solely serves as a middleman between the Cab Operator and the User. Always, the
transaction is between the Cab Operator and the User.
It is the Cab Operator's entire obligation to ensure that it has all of the necessary licences,
permissions, insurance, and permits from the authorised authorities to carry out the journey booked.
The Company makes no promise or assurance on the licences, approvals, insurance, and permits
that the Cab Operator must get from the authorised authorities.
The Company shall not be liable in any way for any claims relating to the trip, including, without
limitation, claims relating to timeliness, safety, continuity, uninterrupted travel, quality, conditions of
the vehicle or driving skill, the Cab not departing or arriving on time, the cab driver's behaviour, the
interiors of the Cab, the Cab Operator cancelling the trip for any reason whatsoever, and the User's
baggage being lost, stolen, or damaged.
In no event shall the company be liable for any loss or damage resulting from the information
accessed by the User on the Website or Mobile Application that was provided to the Company by
the Cab Operator.
If the cab breaks down or is involved in an accident and the cab operator is unable to make other
arrangements, the Company will reimburse the User for the uncovered distance. Any claims,
liabilities, or legal fees resulting from such an occurrence are the responsibility of the Cab Operator,
and the Company shall not be held liable in any manner whatsoever.
Booking a cab might be "Prepaid" or "Part Payment," depending on the alternatives provided by the
cab operator on the Company's Website.
The complete booking amount is paid by the User at the time of booking in the "prepaid" model. The
basic fare, relevant taxes, and any additional booking costs, service fees, or convenience fees levied
by the Company are all included in the total booking amount.
The "Part Payment" approach requires the User to pay a part of the whole booking price at the time
of reservation, and the remainder payment is paid upfront to the driver at the time of boarding.
The booking fee paid for car rental and outstation cab bookings does not cover toll charges, state
taxes, traveller taxes, or any other relevant levies, which must be incurred by the User.
Tolls, permit costs, parking costs, entrance fees, service charges, and any other government taxes
imposed by the authorities must be incurred by the User and paid upfront to the driver.
Unless otherwise specified, the estimated cost offered at the time of booking is not to be considered
as the final pricing for your trip. The total cost of your journey will be determined on actual use
(number of Kilometres and hours). For both within-city and out-of-city trips, distance and duration are
computed from garage to garage rather than from the User's pick-up location.
Where appropriate, the trip allowance must be paid directly to the driver.
Before taking the Cab, the User must bring a valid picture ID proof with them and display it to the
Cab Operator or driver. In the case of a discrepancy in the User's or travellerâs identification, the Cab
Operator or driver of the Cab may deny entry to such person at their choice.
Changes to the departure time, boarding point, or dropping point are not authorised once a trip has
been scheduled by the User.
The User is accountable and liable for their personal luggage's protection and safety. In no case
shall the Company be responsible for any damage to the User or their baggage.
The travel should be done in the User's own capacity and should not be utilised for commercial gain
in any way.
The User must arrive at the pickup location as soon as possible and ensure that all of the terms and
conditions are followed.

police or government rules, or other relevant laws.

VISA SERVICES
The Company only serves as an intermediary for visa processing and is not liable in any way for the
grant or denial of the user's visa. The issuance of a visa is solely at the discretion of the respective
Embassy.
The Company's services should not be interpreted or understood as Visa advising or consultation in
any form since it operates on the user's instructions. The User agrees that the User is entirely
responsible for understanding the visa criteria for the selected destination country or countries and
instructing the Company appropriately to begin the visa application process.
The Company's function is restricted to notifying the User about the documentation requirements for
obtaining a visa in a given country or region or obtaining the papers submitted by the User, and
submitting those documents to the appropriate embassy or high commission. The Company
provides such criteria for making a visa application (including, but not limited to, documents, fees,
and time periods) based on information supplied by the particular embassy or high-commission. The
Company cannot and will not provide advice on the merit, completeness, appropriateness, or
possibility of acceptance or denial of a visa application.
The company may also provide information on the average time it takes for an embassy or high
commission to process a visa application. However, it is the User's obligation to contact the
Company for a visa application in a timely basis in order to acquire the visa before to the period of
departure.
Each nation has different passport and visa requirements. Certain countries, for example, need a
certain number of blank pages in succession or a minimum balance length of the passport's validity.
These specifications are set by the different governments and are subject to change at any time.
While the Company will make every effort to provide its User(s) with accurate and up-to-date
information, there may be times when the necessary information is not made accessible to the
Company, and as a consequence, the Company may be unable to offer the same to its Users. In
such instances, the Company will not be held liable for any errors or omissions in such information.
The decision to grant or deny a visa is entirely at the discretion of the embassy or high commission
to which the visa application is filed. The Company has no part in evaluating or approving the visa
application. This acceptance or denial is based on a variety of variables, including the information
supplied by the User, current or prior nationality, site of visa application, residency, gender, age,
occupation, recent travel, and religion.
At its own discretion, the concerned consulate, embassy, or high commission may summon the User
for a face-to-face interview. The Company will not be involved in this procedure. The Company will,
however, notify the User of the interview date, time, and any other criteria as specified by the
relevant Embassy or High Commission.
The Company may also employ third-party contractors to handle visa applications for other
countries. These third-party contractors will be responsible for procuring visas for Users in the
countries designated to them.
When submitting a passport and filing for a visa, the Company must make all necessary efforts to
guarantee that the passport is securely handed to the user. However, the Company will not be held
accountable if the passport is misplaced or lost in transit by the logistical service provider.

of both the Website and the Mobile Application. The list of nations is subject to alteration at the
Company's discretion.

actions in delaying or failing to issue the visa for any cause. In addition, the Company is not
responsible for any incidental expenditures or additional costs by the User as a consequence of this
agreement. Even if a visa is approved, the User may be denied entrance in some cases since local
immigration officials have the last word on entry decisions.
Certain nations may have extra requirements in addition to a Visa. For example, if the User(s) is
travelling to Dubai, an "OK TO BOARD" clearance may be necessary. The user acknowledges that
granting or rejecting "permission to board" is entirely at the discretion of the relevant airline or
department, and the Company has no say in the matter. The Company only acts as an intermediary
between the User and the relevant department/airline for the implementation of "OK TO BOARD."
When applying for Visa or OK TO BOARD services, the user(s) must supply valid contact
information, as these will be the only points of contact for a prompt update on the progress of their
Visa or OK TO BOARD application.

permission to file the requisite visa application, as well as visa fees and embassy costs, with the

request for visa processing. Such information may also include, but is not confined to, the User's
name, address, contact information, vacation destination, and any additional information deemed
required by the Company with the intention of completing the User's visa application.
- When the Company returns a User's passport and documents, it is the User's obligation to ensure
that all necessary visas have been secured and that the information included within is valid and
corresponds to their trip schedule. In addition, the User must ensure the personal information given
on the visa.
- so strictly in accordance with the User's instructions. The reapplying or appealing will be treated as a
new activity, and the User will be required to pay the relevant fee as well as a service fee to the
Company. Unless otherwise instructed by the User, the Company will not pursue any visa
reapplication.
- In some situations, the Company's third-party vendor may reject to file the User's visa application
based on the User's credentials, which may be decided based on the documentation supplied by the
User. This will only be performed if the vendor believes that there is a significant chance of the visa
being refused. If extra documents are necessary in such circumstances, the User will be notified,
and the request will be sent only if such further documentation are presented and deemed to be in
order. However, if the vendor does not file the application, the visa money will be returned, but the
Companys service charge will continue to be non-refundable.
The Company will ask the User a service charge to cover the expense of presenting the request to
the respective embassy on the User's behalf. This service price is in additional to visa fees, embassy
charges, and other comparable fees, under whatever name or as authorised by the particular
embassy. When contracting the Company to perform visa-related services, the User shall deposit
the service cost. The Company is not obligated to return the service costs for any cause, including if
the User chooses not to complete the visa application or when the visa application is refused.
In addition to the aforementioned service costs, any expenses for logistics, such as documentation
collection, passport collection, courier expenses, and so on, or any additional expense spent by the
Company outside of its ordinary area of activity must be independently charged to the Company by
the User.
Embassy fees, taxes, and other costs that are not under the Company's control are subject to
change without prior notification by embassies or government agencies, and the Company cannot
be held accountable for this. After the visa application is filed to the particular embassy, such fees,
taxes, and other expenses are non-refundable. The preceding is in accordance with the guidelines of
the particular embassy, and the Company has no influence over it.

to the booking, shall be disclosed to the User prior to completing the booking or accepting payments
from such User.
In the event that the reservation amount, taxes, statutory fee, convenience fee, and so on are
undercharged due to a technical mistake and perhaps other reasons, the Company reserves the
right to recoup, charge, or claim the remaining payment from the User, and the User consents to
paying such a remaining balance to the Company. If the short charge is claimed prior to the
booking's use, the Company reserves the right to terminate such bookings if the balance is not paid
before the utilization date.
Any increase in the Company's pricing due to a change in tax rates or the application of additional
taxes collected by the government must be paid by the User. Taxes and levies can be imposed
without warning or in hindsight, but they must always be in compliance with the law.
In the unlikely event that a booking is not completed for whatever cause, the Company will arrange a
refund of the reservation fee given by the User and notify the User of the same. The Company is not
required to offer an alternative reservation in place of, refund against, or replace the unconfirmed
reservation. All future reservations will be regarded as separate transactions. Any relevant refunds
will be executed in accordance with the service provider's and the Company's respective rules and
policies.
The User is solely liable for any costs, charges, levies, fees, and assessments incurred as a result of
using the service, in accordance with relevant laws.
The User hereby agrees and acknowledges that all transactions, including but not limited to
accepting payment for services rendered, are accepted by the Company in the Company's account
only, and the Company has not authorised its employees, representatives, agents, or any other party
to receive any amount in any other account other than the Company's accounts. The Company will
not be held accountable in any way if the User transfers money into the personal account of another
individual.
The User shall not reveal any of his personal sensitive information, including but not limited to credit
or debit card number, CVV, OTP, card expiry date, user IDs, passwords, and so on, to anyone,
including the Company's representatives, staff, or consultants. If such information is requested by
any of the aforementioned individuals, the User must notify the Company promptly. The Company
will not be liable for any losses incurred by the User as a result of disclosing the aforementioned
information.
If a refund is granted, it will be made only to the account from which the booking was made.
SPECIAL FARE RESTRICTIONS

INSURANCE
Obtaining adequate insurance coverage is the User's responsibility unless specifically supplied by
the Company for any particular service or deliverable. Any claims stemming from such
circumstances would be rejected by the Company.
Insurance, if supplied as part of the Company's service or product, shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of the third-party insurance company. The Company just serves as a conduit between the
User and the Insurance Company. For any claims or complaints, the User must contact the
Insurance Company immediately. The Company will not be held accountable if the Insurance
Company only partially accepts or denies the claims.
COMPLIANCE OF LIBERALIZED REMITTANCE SCHEME
(LRS)
The RBI requires PAN information for all transactions conducted under the Liberalized Remittance
Scheme (LRS), which includes any overseas bookings made on the platforms. The User declares
and affirms that the PAN data of the User/traveller will be supplied either during the time of making
the reservation or once the reservation is done. In the event that the traveller is a minor, the
Company reserves the right to demand the PAN of the minor's parent or legal guardian. The User
additionally agrees that failing to adhere to this criteria may lead to the booking being cancelled.
The User guarantees and acknowledges that the overall amount of foreign exchange acquired or
sent in India during the present fiscal year (including the current transaction) is within the RBI's
permissible limit. If the limit is exceeded before the actual remittance request is granted by the AD
Bank, the Company is required to cancel the booking in conformity with the law and issue a refund in
accordance with the cancellation policy applicable to said booking. The User further acknowledges
that any foreign exchange obtained for the purposes of overseas travel under the present
reservation will be used for the above-mentioned purpose.

reservations, or share the Userâs data with third parties for the primary intent of accumulating or
validating PAN specifics for the specified purposes in this Agreement.

desires to choose out of supplying the very same, or if it has previously been supplied, the User can

the User's PAN details.

travel reservations and the requirements of the nations the individual wishes to visit or transit
through.

arising from such visa restrictions and is also not obligated to return any amount to the User for
being unable to use the reservation because of the absence or denial of a visa, regardless of
whether the User used the Company's services for the visa process as well. Refunds, if any, will be
made in accordance with the provisions of the booking and cancellation policies.

Company is legally obligated to revoke the reservation and execute the refund in accordance with
the refund policy.

such service cannot be delivered due to circumstances beyond the control of the Company or
Service Providers. Acts of God, pandemics, epidemics, terrorist operations, government decisions,
and so on are examples of such scenarios.
If the Company becomes aware of any of the aforementioned cases where bookings are not
honored, it will use its best efforts to provide a comparable alternative to the User or reimburse the
booking money after deducting relevant service costs, if supported and returned by that specific
Service Provider. The User acknowledges that the Company, as a simple conduit of the services
and products booked, cannot be held liable for any such Force Majeure event. For any additional
resolutions or reimbursements, the User must contact the Service Provider directly.
If a booking is not confirmed due to technical challenges, the User accepts that the Company's
liability is restricted to reimbursing the reservation payment, if any, received from the User. This
refund will completely absolve the company of all liabilities stemming from the transaction. Any
additional liabilities incurred must be met entirely by the User.

RELATED SITES
Third-party websites may be linked to the company's website. However, the company has no control

circumstances listed in the previous sub-clause.

representatives or employees to solicit financial information from the User, including but not limited

CONDITIONS RELATED TO FLIGHT TICKETS
The Company merely serves as an intermediary between the User and the Airlines, and all of the
Airlines's terms and conditions, including all of the Airline's policies, apply to the User.
Airlines have the right to rearrange flight timings, alter or cancel flights or itineraries without prior
notice to the Company. As an intermediary, the Company has no influence or power over the
operations of the airlines and is thus not responsible for any injury, direct or indirect, that a User may
suffer as a result of such a flight alteration or cancellation.
Different airfares may have different limits or contain different amenities and prices.
The luggage allowance on a given ticket is determined by the airline, and the Company has no say
in the matter whatsoever. Some of the rates displayed in the purchasing flow are "hand baggage
fares," which do not qualify the User for complimentary check-in luggage and must therefore be paid
for separately. The cost of adding check-in luggage to a reservation varies per airline. The User is
encouraged to contact the airlines for specific pricing.
That in the Airlines industry, different airlines enter into a code-sharing arrangement. For the
purposes of this clause, the term "Code-Share" means a marketing arrangement where an airline
places its designator code on a flight operated by another airline and then sells tickets for that flight.
In cases where the user's flight is a "code-share," the User must be notified as soon as possible.
That the indication referred to in the previous subclause shall be issued only after the airline has
informed the Company of the same.
The final price indicated on the payment page of the Website and Mobile Application primarily
involves the base price, relevant government taxes, and a convenience charge. Prior to the
completion of their booking, User shall pay the complete price in relation to the booking. The
Company retains the right to cancel the reservation if the User does not deposit the total amount. On
the day of travel, the User undertakes to pay all relevant statutory taxes, surcharges, and fees.
To qualify for infant prices, the child must be under the age of 24 months for the full route. This
includes both departure and return trips. If the child is 24 months or older on the return journey, the
User must make a separate reservation using a child fee. Infants and children must be accompanied
by an adult, according to airline rules, and shall follow all applicable rules.
That the User always ensures that he or she has all of the documentation required by the airlines. If
the User makes a booking on behalf of another passenger, the User must personally ensure that the
traveller has all necessary documentation. The Company will not be held accountable in any way if
the User is unable to travel due to a lack of valid documentation.
The User is required to check in at the airport at the time specified by the airline, and it is the User's
sole responsibility to confirm the appropriate check-in timings with the airline.
If the User wishes to make changes to previously booked reservations, the User must do so in
accordance with the airline's policies. If the User is required to pay an additional sum as a result of a
change in the reservations, the User is obligated to pay the same.
Refunds will be issued in accordance with the airline's pricing restrictions and cancellation policy.
Such refunds are contingent on the Company obtaining them from the airlines. The convenience
charge paid to the Company at the time of booking, on the other hand, is non-refundable. All
cancellations made directly with the airline must be communicated to the Company in order for the
refund procedure to begin. Refund processing times may vary based on the manner of payment,
bank, and so on. The refund will be executed once the Company service fee, which is separate from
the convenience fee specified above, has been deducted.

This will be communicated to the User both during the booking process and via the booking
confirmation voucher.
The User agrees that the Company just serves as a conduit for the User to book a Charter. The
service contract is always between the User and the pertinent Charter Company.
The charter booking will be controlled by the Charter Company's agreements, and the Charter
Company retains the right to cancel or postpone the charter scheduled due to circumstances such
as inclement weather, lockdown, operational needs, or any unexpected technical/mechanical fault.
An alternate charter is subject to availability and is entirely at the discretion of the Charter Company,
over which the Company has no authority. Any fare difference will be invoiced based on the fare in
effect at the time of rescheduling the charter flight.
Carry-on luggage/baggage allowance, boarding and lodging facilities, number of passengers, meals,
and so on are subject to the charter company's rules, and the Company has no say in the matter.
The Company may enable communication on the User's demands to the Charter Company;
although, fulfilment of those requests is exclusively the Charter Company's discretion.
Any modifications to an existing booking will be subject to the Charter Company's charges. In the
case of a change or modification to an existing reservation, the User is required to pay the
necessary charges as applicable.
The User acknowledges that the Charter Company requires passenger names, nationality, passport
numbers, dates of issuance and expiration, medical reports, and other information well in advance in
order to secure appropriate security clearances and to fly. User further acknowledges that any
inability to travel owing to a lack of proper travel papers or refusal to board is completely the User's
fault, and the Company accepts no responsibility for the same.
Refunds will be issued in accordance with the Charter fare regulations and cancellation policy. Such
reimbursements are conditional on the Company obtaining them from the Charter Company. The
convenience charge paid to the Company at the time of booking is non-refundable. The refund will
be credited to the same account that was used to make the payment.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO CHARTER
The Company just acts as an intermediary, providing a technological medium for the User to pick
and book a certain hotel. In this sense, hotels cover all types of lodgings, including hotels,
homestays, bed and breakfast stays, farm houses, and any other alternative accommodations. All
information about the hotel, including the hotel's categorization, pictures, room type, services, and
facilities, is based on information supplied by the hotel to the Company. This material is mainly for
reference purposes. Any disparity between the website photographs and the real hotel settings must
be reported with the hotel directly and addressed between the User and the hotel. The Company will
bear no obligation or liability for any differences during the resolution stage.
The hotel booking voucher that the Company delivers to a User is completely dependent on
the information furnished or updated by the hotel to the Company. The Company will not be held
accountable under any situations for a hotel's inability to entertain the User with a scheduled
reservation, the level of service, any inadequacy in the services, or any other service-related
difficulties at the hotel.
The Company's responsibility in the event of a hotel denying check-in for any cause, including over-
booking, system or technical errors, or unavailability of rooms, etc., will be confined to either offering
an equivalent alterative accommodation at the Company's prerogative, or reimbursing the booking
sum (to the extent paid) to the User. Any other service-related concerns must be handled directly
between the User and the hotel.
The hotel has sole admission authority, and the Company has no influence in the hotel's admittance
or denial of admission. Some hotels may not allow unmarried or unrelated couples to check in,
depending on their policy. Similarly, if appropriate evidence of identification is not produced at the
time of check-in, lodging may be refused to guests posing as a couple. Some hotels may also refuse
to accept local residents as guests. The Company shall not be liable for any check-in rejected by the
hotel owing to the aforementioned reasons or any other cause beyond the Company's control. There
would be no reimbursement if the hotel refused check-in under such conditions.
The User hereby accepts and agrees that the User would be obliged to make good any damage(s)
caused to the hotel's property by any conduct of his/her/their accompanying guests which shall
include the damage caused wilfully or due to negligence. The degree and cost of the damages
would be assessed by the hotel in question. The Company would not intervene in this matter in any
manner.
To check into the hotel, the primary guest must be at least 18 years old.
At the time of check-in, the User must present a valid identification and address certificate. The hotel
reserves the right to refuse a User's check-in if a proper identity proof is not supplied at the time of
check-in or the said proof is deemed to be untrue.
Check-in and check-out times, as well as any modifications to those times, are subject to hotel policy
and terms. Reservations for early check-in or late check-out are dependent on availability, and the
hotel may impose an extra cost for such services.
The booking fee paid by the User is exclusively for the Userâs stay at the hotel. Some reservations
may include breakfast and/or meals, which will be verified at the time of booking. Any other services
used by the User at the hotel, such as laundry, room service, internet, telephone, extra food, drinks,
beverages, and so on, must be paid for directly by the User to the hotel, and the User cannot
approach the Company for a waiver of such charges or a refund of any kind.
The payment towards the booking of the hotel can be done in two ways, i.e., "prepaid" and "pay at
hotel". The complete booking amount is paid by the User at the time of booking in the "Prepaid"
model. This total booking cost comprises the hotel booking rate, tariffs, any service charge levied by
the genuine service provider, and any extra service charges or convenience fees levied by the
Company.
On a case-by-case basis, and at the sole discretion of the hotel or the Company, the User may be
given the option to submit a partial payment to the Company at the time of booking confirmation. The
rest of the booking money must be paid in accordance with the terms of the booking. For security
reasons, the User must supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the
bank or credit card information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves
the right to cancel the booking and pursue any legal action it deems appropriate.
The "Pay at hotel" model requires the hotel to receive the complete money for the reservation at the
time of check-in. In the event of overseas reservations, the payment will be processed in local
currency or any other denomination that the hotel determines. For security reasons, the User must
supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the bank or credit card
information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves

availability information given or updated by the bus operator. The bus operator provides the facilities,
services, routes, rates, timetable, bus type, seat availability, and any other facts relevant to the bus

that the Cab Operator must get from the authorised authorities.

arrangements, the Company will reimburse the User for the uncovered distance. Any claims,
liabilities, or legal fees resulting from such an occurrence are the responsibility of the Cab Operator,
and the Company shall not be held liable in any manner whatsoever.

basic fare, relevant taxes, and any additional booking costs, service fees, or convenience fees levied
by the Company are all included in the total booking amount.
The "Part Payment" approach requires the User to pay a part of the whole booking price at the time
of reservation, and the remainder payment is paid upfront to the driver at the time of boarding.
The booking fee paid for car rental and outstation cab bookings does not cover toll charges, state
taxes, traveller taxes, or any other relevant levies, which must be incurred by the User.
Tolls, permit costs, parking costs, entrance fees, service charges, and any other government taxes
imposed by the authorities must be incurred by the User and paid upfront to the driver.
Unless otherwise specified, the estimated cost offered at the time of booking is not to be considered
as the final pricing for your trip. The total cost of your journey will be determined on actual use
(number of Kilometres and hours). For both within-city and out-of-city trips, distance and duration are
computed from garage to garage rather than from the User's pick-up location.
Where appropriate, the trip allowance must be paid directly to the driver.
Before taking the Cab, the User must bring a valid picture ID proof with them and display it to the
Cab Operator or driver. In the case of a discrepancy in the User's or travellerâs identification, the Cab

VISA SERVICES
The Company only serves as an intermediary for visa processing and is not liable in any way for the
grant or denial of the user's visa. The issuance of a visa is solely at the discretion of the respective
Embassy.
The Company's services should not be interpreted or understood as Visa advising or consultation in
any form since it operates on the user's instructions. The User agrees that the User is entirely
responsible for understanding the visa criteria for the selected destination country or countries and
instructing the Company appropriately to begin the visa application process.
The Company's function is restricted to notifying the User about the documentation requirements for
obtaining a visa in a given country or region or obtaining the papers submitted by the User, and
submitting those documents to the appropriate embassy or high commission. The Company
provides such criteria for making a visa application (including, but not limited to, documents, fees,
and time periods) based on information supplied by the particular embassy or high-commission. The
Company cannot and will not provide advice on the merit, completeness, appropriateness, or
possibility of acceptance or denial of a visa application.
The company may also provide information on the average time it takes for an embassy or high
commission to process a visa application. However, it is the User's obligation to contact the
Company for a visa application in a timely basis in order to acquire the visa before to the period of
departure.
Each nation has different passport and visa requirements. Certain countries, for example, need a
certain number of blank pages in succession or a minimum balance length of the passport's validity.
These specifications are set by the different governments and are subject to change at any time.
While the Company will make every effort to provide its User(s) with accurate and up-to-date
information, there may be times when the necessary information is not made accessible to the
Company, and as a consequence, the Company may be unable to offer the same to its Users. In
such instances, the Company will not be held liable for any errors or omissions in such information.
The decision to grant or deny a visa is entirely at the discretion of the embassy or high commission
to which the visa application is filed. The Company has no part in evaluating or approving the visa
application. This acceptance or denial is based on a variety of variables, including the information
supplied by the User, current or prior nationality, site of visa application, residency, gender, age,
occupation, recent travel, and religion.
At its own discretion, the concerned consulate, embassy, or high commission may summon the User
for a face-to-face interview. The Company will not be involved in this procedure. The Company will,
however, notify the User of the interview date, time, and any other criteria as specified by the
relevant Embassy or High Commission.
The Company may also employ third-party contractors to handle visa applications for other
countries. These third-party contractors will be responsible for procuring visas for Users in the
countries designated to them.
When submitting a passport and filing for a visa, the Company must make all necessary efforts to
guarantee that the passport is securely handed to the user. However, the Company will not be held
accountable if the passport is misplaced or lost in transit by the logistical service provider.
The nations with respect to which visa application services are available are listed in the visa section
of both the Website and the Mobile Application. The list of nations is subject to alteration at the
Company's discretion.
The Company shall not be held accountable for any consulate, embassy, or authority's acts or
actions in delaying or failing to issue the visa for any cause. In addition, the Company is not
responsible for any incidental expenditures or additional costs by the User as a consequence of this
agreement. Even if a visa is approved, the User may be denied entrance in some cases since local
immigration officials have the last word on entry decisions.
Certain nations may have extra requirements in addition to a Visa. For example, if the User(s) is
travelling to Dubai, an "OK TO BOARD" clearance may be necessary. The user acknowledges that
granting or rejecting "permission to board" is entirely at the discretion of the relevant airline or
department, and the Company has no say in the matter. The Company only acts as an intermediary
between the User and the relevant department/airline for the implementation of "OK TO BOARD."
When applying for Visa or OK TO BOARD services, the user(s) must supply valid contact
information, as these will be the only points of contact for a prompt update on the progress of their
Visa or OK TO BOARD application.
The User recognises that the following acts are the responsibility of the User:
- By contracting the company to assist with the immigration process, the User grants the company
permission to file the requisite visa application, as well as visa fees and embassy costs, with the
pertinent embassy on his or her behalf.
- The User agrees to immediately furnish the Company with the documents necessary for visa

request for visa processing. Such information may also include, but is not confined to, the User's
name, address, contact information, vacation destination, and any additional information deemed
required by the Company with the intention of completing the User's visa application.
- When the Company returns a User's passport and documents, it is the User's obligation to ensure
that all necessary visas have been secured and that the information included within is valid and
corresponds to their trip schedule. In addition, the User must ensure the personal information given
on the visa.
- so strictly in accordance with the User's instructions. The reapplying or appealing will be treated as a
new activity, and the User will be required to pay the relevant fee as well as a service fee to the
Company. Unless otherwise instructed by the User, the Company will not pursue any visa
reapplication.
- In some situations, the Company's third-party vendor may reject to file the User's visa application
based on the User's credentials, which may be decided based on the documentation supplied by the
User. This will only be performed if the vendor believes that there is a significant chance of the visa
being refused. If extra documents are necessary in such circumstances, the User will be notified,
and the request will be sent only if such further documentation are presented and deemed to be in
order. However, if the vendor does not file the application, the visa money will be returned, but the
Companys service charge will continue to be non-refundable.
The Company will ask the User a service charge to cover the expense of presenting the request to
the respective embassy on the User's behalf. This service price is in additional to visa fees, embassy
charges, and other comparable fees, under whatever name or as authorised by the particular
embassy. When contracting the Company to perform visa-related services, the User shall deposit
the service cost. The Company is not obligated to return the service costs for any cause, including if
the User chooses not to complete the visa application or when the visa application is refused.
In addition to the aforementioned service costs, any expenses for logistics, such as documentation
collection, passport collection, courier expenses, and so on, or any additional expense spent by the
Company outside of its ordinary area of activity must be independently charged to the Company by
the User.
Embassy fees, taxes, and other costs that are not under the Company's control are subject to
change without prior notification by embassies or government agencies, and the Company cannot
be held accountable for this. After the visa application is filed to the particular embassy, such fees,
taxes, and other expenses are non-refundable. The preceding is in accordance with the guidelines of
the particular embassy, and the Company has no influence over it.

CONDITIONS RELATED TO FLIGHT TICKETS
The Company merely serves as an intermediary between the User and the Airlines, and all of the
Airlines's terms and conditions, including all of the Airline's policies, apply to the User.
Airlines have the right to rearrange flight timings, alter or cancel flights or itineraries without prior
notice to the Company. As an intermediary, the Company has no influence or power over the
operations of the airlines and is thus not responsible for any injury, direct or indirect, that a User may
suffer as a result of such a flight alteration or cancellation.
Different airfares may have different limits or contain different amenities and prices.
The luggage allowance on a given ticket is determined by the airline, and the Company has no say
in the matter whatsoever. Some of the rates displayed in the purchasing flow are "hand baggage
fares," which do not qualify the User for complimentary check-in luggage and must therefore be paid
for separately. The cost of adding check-in luggage to a reservation varies per airline. The User is
encouraged to contact the airlines for specific pricing.
That in the Airlines industry, different airlines enter into a code-sharing arrangement. For the
purposes of this clause, the term "Code-Share" means a marketing arrangement where an airline
places its designator code on a flight operated by another airline and then sells tickets for that flight.
In cases where the user's flight is a "code-share," the User must be notified as soon as possible.
That the indication referred to in the previous subclause shall be issued only after the airline has
informed the Company of the same.
The final price indicated on the payment page of the Website and Mobile Application primarily
involves the base price, relevant government taxes, and a convenience charge. Prior to the
completion of their booking, User shall pay the complete price in relation to the booking. The
Company retains the right to cancel the reservation if the User does not deposit the total amount. On
the day of travel, the User undertakes to pay all relevant statutory taxes, surcharges, and fees.
To qualify for infant prices, the child must be under the age of 24 months for the full route. This
includes both departure and return trips. If the child is 24 months or older on the return journey, the
User must make a separate reservation using a child fee. Infants and children must be accompanied
by an adult, according to airline rules, and shall follow all applicable rules.
That the User always ensures that he or she has all of the documentation required by the airlines. If
the User makes a booking on behalf of another passenger, the User must personally ensure that the
traveller has all necessary documentation. The Company will not be held accountable in any way if
the User is unable to travel due to a lack of valid documentation.
The User is required to check in at the airport at the time specified by the airline, and it is the User's
sole responsibility to confirm the appropriate check-in timings with the airline.
If the User wishes to make changes to previously booked reservations, the User must do so in
accordance with the airline's policies. If the User is required to pay an additional sum as a result of a
change in the reservations, the User is obligated to pay the same.
Refunds will be issued in accordance with the airline's pricing restrictions and cancellation policy.
Such refunds are contingent on the Company obtaining them from the airlines. The convenience
charge paid to the Company at the time of booking, on the other hand, is non-refundable. All
cancellations made directly with the airline must be communicated to the Company in order for the
refund procedure to begin. Refund processing times may vary based on the manner of payment,
bank, and so on. The refund will be executed once the Company service fee, which is separate from
the convenience fee specified above, has been deducted.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO CHARTER

referred to as a charter facility.

Company's terms and conditions, which includes but are not restricted to cancellation and refund.
This will be communicated to the User both during the booking process and via the booking
confirmation voucher.
The User agrees that the Company just serves as a conduit for the User to book a Charter. The
service contract is always between the User and the pertinent Charter Company.
The charter booking will be controlled by the Charter Company's agreements, and the Charter
Company retains the right to cancel or postpone the charter scheduled due to circumstances such
as inclement weather, lockdown, operational needs, or any unexpected technical/mechanical fault.
An alternate charter is subject to availability and is entirely at the discretion of the Charter Company,
over which the Company has no authority. Any fare difference will be invoiced based on the fare in
effect at the time of rescheduling the charter flight.
Carry-on luggage/baggage allowance, boarding and lodging facilities, number of passengers, meals,
and so on are subject to the charter company's rules, and the Company has no say in the matter.
The Company may enable communication on the User's demands to the Charter Company;
although, fulfilment of those requests is exclusively the Charter Company's discretion.
Any modifications to an existing booking will be subject to the Charter Company's charges. In the
case of a change or modification to an existing reservation, the User is required to pay the
necessary charges as applicable.
The User acknowledges that the Charter Company requires passenger names, nationality, passport
numbers, dates of issuance and expiration, medical reports, and other information well in advance in
order to secure appropriate security clearances and to fly. User further acknowledges that any
inability to travel owing to a lack of proper travel papers or refusal to board is completely the User's
fault, and the Company accepts no responsibility for the same.
Refunds will be issued in accordance with the Charter fare regulations and cancellation policy. Such
reimbursements are conditional on the Company obtaining them from the Charter Company. The
convenience charge paid to the Company at the time of booking is non-refundable. The refund will
be credited to the same account that was used to make the payment.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO CHARTER
The Company just acts as an intermediary, providing a technological medium for the User to pick
and book a certain hotel. In this sense, hotels cover all types of lodgings, including hotels,
homestays, bed and breakfast stays, farm houses, and any other alternative accommodations. All
information about the hotel, including the hotel's categorization, pictures, room type, services, and
facilities, is based on information supplied by the hotel to the Company. This material is mainly for
reference purposes. Any disparity between the website photographs and the real hotel settings must
be reported with the hotel directly and addressed between the User and the hotel. The Company will
bear no obligation or liability for any differences during the resolution stage.
The hotel booking voucher that the Company delivers to a User is completely dependent on
the information furnished or updated by the hotel to the Company. The Company will not be held
accountable under any situations for a hotel's inability to entertain the User with a scheduled
reservation, the level of service, any inadequacy in the services, or any other service-related
difficulties at the hotel.
The Company's responsibility in the event of a hotel denying check-in for any cause, including over-
booking, system or technical errors, or unavailability of rooms, etc., will be confined to either offering
an equivalent alterative accommodation at the Company's prerogative, or reimbursing the booking
sum (to the extent paid) to the User. Any other service-related concerns must be handled directly
between the User and the hotel.
The hotel has sole admission authority, and the Company has no influence in the hotel's admittance
or denial of admission. Some hotels may not allow unmarried or unrelated couples to check in,
depending on their policy. Similarly, if appropriate evidence of identification is not produced at the
time of check-in, lodging may be refused to guests posing as a couple. Some hotels may also refuse
to accept local residents as guests. The Company shall not be liable for any check-in rejected by the
hotel owing to the aforementioned reasons or any other cause beyond the Company's control. There
would be no reimbursement if the hotel refused check-in under such conditions.
The User hereby accepts and agrees that the User would be obliged to make good any damage(s)
caused to the hotel's property by any conduct of his/her/their accompanying guests which shall
include the damage caused wilfully or due to negligence. The degree and cost of the damages
would be assessed by the hotel in question. The Company would not intervene in this matter in any
manner.
To check into the hotel, the primary guest must be at least 18 years old.
At the time of check-in, the User must present a valid identification and address certificate. The hotel
reserves the right to refuse a User's check-in if a proper identity proof is not supplied at the time of
check-in or the said proof is deemed to be untrue.
Check-in and check-out times, as well as any modifications to those times, are subject to hotel policy
and terms. Reservations for early check-in or late check-out are dependent on availability, and the
hotel may impose an extra cost for such services.
The booking fee paid by the User is exclusively for the Userâs stay at the hotel. Some reservations
may include breakfast and/or meals, which will be verified at the time of booking. Any other services
used by the User at the hotel, such as laundry, room service, internet, telephone, extra food, drinks,
beverages, and so on, must be paid for directly by the User to the hotel, and the User cannot
approach the Company for a waiver of such charges or a refund of any kind.
The payment towards the booking of the hotel can be done in two ways, i.e., "prepaid" and "pay at
hotel". The complete booking amount is paid by the User at the time of booking in the "Prepaid"
model. This total booking cost comprises the hotel booking rate, tariffs, any service charge levied by
the genuine service provider, and any extra service charges or convenience fees levied by the
Company.
On a case-by-case basis, and at the sole discretion of the hotel or the Company, the User may be
given the option to submit a partial payment to the Company at the time of booking confirmation. The
rest of the booking money must be paid in accordance with the terms of the booking. For security
reasons, the User must supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the
bank or credit card information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves
the right to cancel the booking and pursue any legal action it deems appropriate.
The "Pay at hotel" model requires the hotel to receive the complete money for the reservation at the
time of check-in. In the event of overseas reservations, the payment will be processed in local
currency or any other denomination that the hotel determines. For security reasons, the User must
supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the bank or credit card
information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves

availability information given or updated by the bus operator. The bus operator provides the facilities,
services, routes, rates, timetable, bus type, seat availability, and any other facts relevant to the bus

of reservation, and the remainder payment is paid upfront to the driver at the time of boarding.

Tolls, permit costs, parking costs, entrance fees, service charges, and any other government taxes
imposed by the authorities must be incurred by the User and paid upfront to the driver.

as the final pricing for your trip. The total cost of your journey will be determined on actual use

computed from garage to garage rather than from the User's pick-up location.
Where appropriate, the trip allowance must be paid directly to the driver.

Cab Operator or driver. In the case of a discrepancy in the User's or travellerâs identification, the Cab

VISA SERVICES
The Company only serves as an intermediary for visa processing and is not liable in any way for the
grant or denial of the user's visa. The issuance of a visa is solely at the discretion of the respective
Embassy.
The Company's services should not be interpreted or understood as Visa advising or consultation in
any form since it operates on the user's instructions. The User agrees that the User is entirely
responsible for understanding the visa criteria for the selected destination country or countries and
instructing the Company appropriately to begin the visa application process.
The Company's function is restricted to notifying the User about the documentation requirements for
obtaining a visa in a given country or region or obtaining the papers submitted by the User, and
submitting those documents to the appropriate embassy or high commission. The Company
provides such criteria for making a visa application (including, but not limited to, documents, fees,
and time periods) based on information supplied by the particular embassy or high-commission. The
Company cannot and will not provide advice on the merit, completeness, appropriateness, or
possibility of acceptance or denial of a visa application.
The company may also provide information on the average time it takes for an embassy or high
commission to process a visa application. However, it is the User's obligation to contact the
Company for a visa application in a timely basis in order to acquire the visa before to the period of
departure.
Each nation has different passport and visa requirements. Certain countries, for example, need a
certain number of blank pages in succession or a minimum balance length of the passport's validity.
These specifications are set by the different governments and are subject to change at any time.
While the Company will make every effort to provide its User(s) with accurate and up-to-date
information, there may be times when the necessary information is not made accessible to the
Company, and as a consequence, the Company may be unable to offer the same to its Users. In
such instances, the Company will not be held liable for any errors or omissions in such information.
The decision to grant or deny a visa is entirely at the discretion of the embassy or high commission
to which the visa application is filed. The Company has no part in evaluating or approving the visa
application. This acceptance or denial is based on a variety of variables, including the information
supplied by the User, current or prior nationality, site of visa application, residency, gender, age,
occupation, recent travel, and religion.
At its own discretion, the concerned consulate, embassy, or high commission may summon the User
for a face-to-face interview. The Company will not be involved in this procedure. The Company will,
however, notify the User of the interview date, time, and any other criteria as specified by the
relevant Embassy or High Commission.
The Company may also employ third-party contractors to handle visa applications for other
countries. These third-party contractors will be responsible for procuring visas for Users in the
countries designated to them.
When submitting a passport and filing for a visa, the Company must make all necessary efforts to
guarantee that the passport is securely handed to the user. However, the Company will not be held
accountable if the passport is misplaced or lost in transit by the logistical service provider.
The nations with respect to which visa application services are available are listed in the visa section
of both the Website and the Mobile Application. The list of nations is subject to alteration at the
Company's discretion.
The Company shall not be held accountable for any consulate, embassy, or authority's acts or
actions in delaying or failing to issue the visa for any cause. In addition, the Company is not
responsible for any incidental expenditures or additional costs by the User as a consequence of this
agreement. Even if a visa is approved, the User may be denied entrance in some cases since local
immigration officials have the last word on entry decisions.
Certain nations may have extra requirements in addition to a Visa. For example, if the User(s) is
travelling to Dubai, an "OK TO BOARD" clearance may be necessary. The user acknowledges that
granting or rejecting "permission to board" is entirely at the discretion of the relevant airline or
department, and the Company has no say in the matter. The Company only acts as an intermediary
between the User and the relevant department/airline for the implementation of "OK TO BOARD."
When applying for Visa or OK TO BOARD services, the user(s) must supply valid contact
information, as these will be the only points of contact for a prompt update on the progress of their
Visa or OK TO BOARD application.
The User recognises that the following acts are the responsibility of the User:
- By contracting the company to assist with the immigration process, the User grants the company
permission to file the requisite visa application, as well as visa fees and embassy costs, with the
pertinent embassy on his or her behalf.
- The User agrees to immediately furnish the Company with the documents necessary for visa
processing. The User also guarantees that the documentation supplied are authentic and that the
information that the user has provided is accurate and correct. The Company accepts no
responsibility for verifying the authenticity of the papers or information given.
- The User(s) must also furnish the company with all essential and proper details in order to file a
request for visa processing. Such information may also include, but is not confined to, the User's
name, address, contact information, vacation destination, and any additional information deemed
required by the Company with the intention of completing the User's visa application.
- When the Company returns a User's passport and documents, it is the User's obligation to ensure
that all necessary visas have been secured and that the information included within is valid and
corresponds to their trip schedule. In addition, the User must ensure the personal information given
on the visa.
- so strictly in accordance with the User's instructions. The reapplying or appealing will be treated as a
new activity, and the User will be required to pay the relevant fee as well as a service fee to the
Company. Unless otherwise instructed by the User, the Company will not pursue any visa
reapplication.
- In some situations, the Company's third-party vendor may reject to file the User's visa application
based on the User's credentials, which may be decided based on the documentation supplied by the
User. This will only be performed if the vendor believes that there is a significant chance of the visa
being refused. If extra documents are necessary in such circumstances, the User will be notified,
and the request will be sent only if such further documentation are presented and deemed to be in
order. However, if the vendor does not file the application, the visa money will be returned, but the
Companys service charge will continue to be non-refundable.
The Company will ask the User a service charge to cover the expense of presenting the request to
the respective embassy on the User's behalf. This service price is in additional to visa fees, embassy
charges, and other comparable fees, under whatever name or as authorised by the particular
embassy. When contracting the Company to perform visa-related services, the User shall deposit
the service cost. The Company is not obligated to return the service costs for any cause, including if
the User chooses not to complete the visa application or when the visa application is refused.
In addition to the aforementioned service costs, any expenses for logistics, such as documentation
collection, passport collection, courier expenses, and so on, or any additional expense spent by the
Company outside of its ordinary area of activity must be independently charged to the Company by
the User.
Embassy fees, taxes, and other costs that are not under the Company's control are subject to
change without prior notification by embassies or government agencies, and the Company cannot
be held accountable for this. After the visa application is filed to the particular embassy, such fees,
taxes, and other expenses are non-refundable. The preceding is in accordance with the guidelines of
the particular embassy, and the Company has no influence over it.

reasonable efforts to offer an equivalent alternative to its User or reimburse the reservation money
after appropriate service costs, if supported and repaid by that relevant service operator. The User
accepts that the Company is not accountable for any such events as an agent for arranging booking
services, and that users must contact the supplier immediately for any additional resolutions or
reimbursements. In such cases, the Company's maximum responsibility shall be to reimburse the
booking payment, subject to receipt from the service providers.

The RBI requires PAN information for all transactions conducted under the Liberalized Remittance
Scheme (LRS), which includes any overseas bookings made on the platforms. The User declares
and affirms that the PAN data of the User/traveller will be supplied either during the time of making
the reservation or once the reservation is done. In the event that the traveller is a minor, the
Company reserves the right to demand the PAN of the minor's parent or legal guardian. The User
additionally agrees that failing to adhere to this criteria may lead to the booking being cancelled.
The User guarantees and acknowledges that the overall amount of foreign exchange acquired or
sent in India during the present fiscal year (including the current transaction) is within the RBI's
permissible limit. If the limit is exceeded before the actual remittance request is granted by the AD

CONDITIONS RELATED TO FLIGHT TICKETS

Airlines's terms and conditions, including all of the Airline's policies, apply to the User.
Airlines have the right to rearrange flight timings, alter or cancel flights or itineraries without prior
notice to the Company. As an intermediary, the Company has no influence or power over the
operations of the airlines and is thus not responsible for any injury, direct or indirect, that a User may
suffer as a result of such a flight alteration or cancellation.
Different airfares may have different limits or contain different amenities and prices.
The luggage allowance on a given ticket is determined by the airline, and the Company has no say
in the matter whatsoever. Some of the rates displayed in the purchasing flow are "hand baggage
fares," which do not qualify the User for complimentary check-in luggage and must therefore be paid
for separately. The cost of adding check-in luggage to a reservation varies per airline. The User is
encouraged to contact the airlines for specific pricing.
That in the Airlines industry, different airlines enter into a code-sharing arrangement. For the
purposes of this clause, the term "Code-Share" means a marketing arrangement where an airline
places its designator code on a flight operated by another airline and then sells tickets for that flight.
In cases where the user's flight is a "code-share," the User must be notified as soon as possible.
That the indication referred to in the previous subclause shall be issued only after the airline has
informed the Company of the same.
The final price indicated on the payment page of the Website and Mobile Application primarily
involves the base price, relevant government taxes, and a convenience charge. Prior to the
completion of their booking, User shall pay the complete price in relation to the booking. The
Company retains the right to cancel the reservation if the User does not deposit the total amount. On
the day of travel, the User undertakes to pay all relevant statutory taxes, surcharges, and fees.
To qualify for infant prices, the child must be under the age of 24 months for the full route. This
includes both departure and return trips. If the child is 24 months or older on the return journey, the
User must make a separate reservation using a child fee. Infants and children must be accompanied
by an adult, according to airline rules, and shall follow all applicable rules.
That the User always ensures that he or she has all of the documentation required by the airlines. If
the User makes a booking on behalf of another passenger, the User must personally ensure that the
traveller has all necessary documentation. The Company will not be held accountable in any way if
the User is unable to travel due to a lack of valid documentation.
The User is required to check in at the airport at the time specified by the airline, and it is the User's
sole responsibility to confirm the appropriate check-in timings with the airline.
If the User wishes to make changes to previously booked reservations, the User must do so in
accordance with the airline's policies. If the User is required to pay an additional sum as a result of a
change in the reservations, the User is obligated to pay the same.
Refunds will be issued in accordance with the airline's pricing restrictions and cancellation policy.
Such refunds are contingent on the Company obtaining them from the airlines. The convenience
charge paid to the Company at the time of booking, on the other hand, is non-refundable. All
cancellations made directly with the airline must be communicated to the Company in order for the
refund procedure to begin. Refund processing times may vary based on the manner of payment,
bank, and so on. The refund will be executed once the Company service fee, which is separate from
the convenience fee specified above, has been deducted.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO CHARTER
The booking or hiring of an entire jet, aircraft, or helicopter as available with the charter company is
referred to as a charter facility.
The Charter facility booked via the Website or Mobile Application is subject to the Charter
Company's terms and conditions, which includes but are not restricted to cancellation and refund.
This will be communicated to the User both during the booking process and via the booking
confirmation voucher.
The User agrees that the Company just serves as a conduit for the User to book a Charter. The
service contract is always between the User and the pertinent Charter Company.
The charter booking will be controlled by the Charter Company's agreements, and the Charter
Company retains the right to cancel or postpone the charter scheduled due to circumstances such
as inclement weather, lockdown, operational needs, or any unexpected technical/mechanical fault.
An alternate charter is subject to availability and is entirely at the discretion of the Charter Company,
over which the Company has no authority. Any fare difference will be invoiced based on the fare in
effect at the time of rescheduling the charter flight.
Carry-on luggage/baggage allowance, boarding and lodging facilities, number of passengers, meals,
and so on are subject to the charter company's rules, and the Company has no say in the matter.
The Company may enable communication on the User's demands to the Charter Company;
although, fulfilment of those requests is exclusively the Charter Company's discretion.
Any modifications to an existing booking will be subject to the Charter Company's charges. In the
case of a change or modification to an existing reservation, the User is required to pay the
necessary charges as applicable.
The User acknowledges that the Charter Company requires passenger names, nationality, passport
numbers, dates of issuance and expiration, medical reports, and other information well in advance in
order to secure appropriate security clearances and to fly. User further acknowledges that any
inability to travel owing to a lack of proper travel papers or refusal to board is completely the User's
fault, and the Company accepts no responsibility for the same.
Refunds will be issued in accordance with the Charter fare regulations and cancellation policy. Such
reimbursements are conditional on the Company obtaining them from the Charter Company. The
convenience charge paid to the Company at the time of booking is non-refundable. The refund will
be credited to the same account that was used to make the payment.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO CHARTER
The Company just acts as an intermediary, providing a technological medium for the User to pick
and book a certain hotel. In this sense, hotels cover all types of lodgings, including hotels,
homestays, bed and breakfast stays, farm houses, and any other alternative accommodations. All
information about the hotel, including the hotel's categorization, pictures, room type, services, and
facilities, is based on information supplied by the hotel to the Company. This material is mainly for
reference purposes. Any disparity between the website photographs and the real hotel settings must
be reported with the hotel directly and addressed between the User and the hotel. The Company will

The hotel booking voucher that the Company delivers to a User is completely dependent on
the information furnished or updated by the hotel to the Company. The Company will not be held
accountable under any situations for a hotel's inability to entertain the User with a scheduled
reservation, the level of service, any inadequacy in the services, or any other service-related
difficulties at the hotel.
The Company's responsibility in the event of a hotel denying check-in for any cause, including over-
booking, system or technical errors, or unavailability of rooms, etc., will be confined to either offering
an equivalent alterative accommodation at the Company's prerogative, or reimbursing the booking
sum (to the extent paid) to the User. Any other service-related concerns must be handled directly
between the User and the hotel.
The hotel has sole admission authority, and the Company has no influence in the hotel's admittance
or denial of admission. Some hotels may not allow unmarried or unrelated couples to check in,
depending on their policy. Similarly, if appropriate evidence of identification is not produced at the
time of check-in, lodging may be refused to guests posing as a couple. Some hotels may also refuse
to accept local residents as guests. The Company shall not be liable for any check-in rejected by the
hotel owing to the aforementioned reasons or any other cause beyond the Company's control. There
would be no reimbursement if the hotel refused check-in under such conditions.
The User hereby accepts and agrees that the User would be obliged to make good any damage(s)
caused to the hotel's property by any conduct of his/her/their accompanying guests which shall
include the damage caused wilfully or due to negligence. The degree and cost of the damages
would be assessed by the hotel in question. The Company would not intervene in this matter in any
manner.
To check into the hotel, the primary guest must be at least 18 years old.
At the time of check-in, the User must present a valid identification and address certificate. The hotel
reserves the right to refuse a User's check-in if a proper identity proof is not supplied at the time of
check-in or the said proof is deemed to be untrue.
Check-in and check-out times, as well as any modifications to those times, are subject to hotel policy
and terms. Reservations for early check-in or late check-out are dependent on availability, and the
hotel may impose an extra cost for such services.
The booking fee paid by the User is exclusively for the Userâs stay at the hotel. Some reservations
may include breakfast and/or meals, which will be verified at the time of booking. Any other services
used by the User at the hotel, such as laundry, room service, internet, telephone, extra food, drinks,
beverages, and so on, must be paid for directly by the User to the hotel, and the User cannot
approach the Company for a waiver of such charges or a refund of any kind.
The payment towards the booking of the hotel can be done in two ways, i.e., "prepaid" and "pay at
hotel". The complete booking amount is paid by the User at the time of booking in the "Prepaid"
model. This total booking cost comprises the hotel booking rate, tariffs, any service charge levied by
the genuine service provider, and any extra service charges or convenience fees levied by the
Company.
On a case-by-case basis, and at the sole discretion of the hotel or the Company, the User may be
given the option to submit a partial payment to the Company at the time of booking confirmation. The
rest of the booking money must be paid in accordance with the terms of the booking. For security
reasons, the User must supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the
bank or credit card information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves
the right to cancel the booking and pursue any legal action it deems appropriate.
The "Pay at hotel" model requires the hotel to receive the complete money for the reservation at the
time of check-in. In the event of overseas reservations, the payment will be processed in local
currency or any other denomination that the hotel determines. For security reasons, the User must
supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the bank or credit card
information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves

The Company's services should not be interpreted or understood as Visa advising or consultation in
any form since it operates on the user's instructions. The User agrees that the User is entirely
responsible for understanding the visa criteria for the selected destination country or countries and
instructing the Company appropriately to begin the visa application process.
The Company's function is restricted to notifying the User about the documentation requirements for
obtaining a visa in a given country or region or obtaining the papers submitted by the User, and
submitting those documents to the appropriate embassy or high commission. The Company
provides such criteria for making a visa application (including, but not limited to, documents, fees,
and time periods) based on information supplied by the particular embassy or high-commission. The
Company cannot and will not provide advice on the merit, completeness, appropriateness, or
possibility of acceptance or denial of a visa application.

commission to process a visa application. However, it is the User's obligation to contact the
Company for a visa application in a timely basis in order to acquire the visa before to the period of

information, there may be times when the necessary information is not made accessible to the

The decision to grant or deny a visa is entirely at the discretion of the embassy or high commission
to which the visa application is filed. The Company has no part in evaluating or approving the visa
application. This acceptance or denial is based on a variety of variables, including the information
supplied by the User, current or prior nationality, site of visa application, residency, gender, age,
occupation, recent travel, and religion.

travelling to Dubai, an "OK TO BOARD" clearance may be necessary. The user acknowledges that
granting or rejecting "permission to board" is entirely at the discretion of the relevant airline or
department, and the Company has no say in the matter. The Company only acts as an intermediary

- When the Company returns a User's passport and documents, it is the User's obligation to ensure
that all necessary visas have been secured and that the information included within is valid and
corresponds to their trip schedule. In addition, the User must ensure the personal information given

- so strictly in accordance with the User's instructions. The reapplying or appealing will be treated as a
new activity, and the User will be required to pay the relevant fee as well as a service fee to the
Company. Unless otherwise instructed by the User, the Company will not pursue any visa
reapplication.
- In some situations, the Company's third-party vendor may reject to file the User's visa application
based on the User's credentials, which may be decided based on the documentation supplied by the
User. This will only be performed if the vendor believes that there is a significant chance of the visa
being refused. If extra documents are necessary in such circumstances, the User will be notified,
and the request will be sent only if such further documentation are presented and deemed to be in
order. However, if the vendor does not file the application, the visa money will be returned, but the
Companys service charge will continue to be non-refundable.
The Company will ask the User a service charge to cover the expense of presenting the request to
the respective embassy on the User's behalf. This service price is in additional to visa fees, embassy
charges, and other comparable fees, under whatever name or as authorised by the particular
embassy. When contracting the Company to perform visa-related services, the User shall deposit
the service cost. The Company is not obligated to return the service costs for any cause, including if
the User chooses not to complete the visa application or when the visa application is refused.
In addition to the aforementioned service costs, any expenses for logistics, such as documentation
collection, passport collection, courier expenses, and so on, or any additional expense spent by the
Company outside of its ordinary area of activity must be independently charged to the Company by
the User.
Embassy fees, taxes, and other costs that are not under the Company's control are subject to
change without prior notification by embassies or government agencies, and the Company cannot

the particular embassy, and the Company has no influence over it.

negligence on the behalf of any individual.

including overbooking, route modification, etc., or difficulty of the hotel to enable check-in despite
confirmed reservations for any cause.
- Any indications of a disagreement with the tour manager.
- Any claim emerging out of an airport delay, and if the User is needed to wait at the airport or at the

any hotel arrangement, in the occasion of such disruptions.
- Any losses incurred by the User as a result of events beyond the Company's control.

or respective transportation providers, are unable to fulfil obligations in relation to confirmed
bookings for a variety of reasons, such as weather conditions, civil unrest, financial distress,
business exigencies, administrative decisions, technological and operational issues, route and flight
cancellations, and so on. If the Company is notified in advance of such instances, it will do its
reasonable efforts to offer an equivalent alternative to its User or reimburse the reservation money
after appropriate service costs, if supported and repaid by that relevant service operator. The User
accepts that the Company is not accountable for any such events as an agent for arranging booking
services, and that users must contact the supplier immediately for any additional resolutions or
reimbursements. In such cases, the Company's maximum responsibility shall be to reimburse the
booking payment, subject to receipt from the service providers.

- All of the material in the Brochure is predicated on what was accessible at the time of publishing.
Due to any event(s) outside the Control of a company, the Company retains the right to amend any
material included in the Brochure prior to or after booking the outbound tour.
- If the Company becomes aware of a modification prior to the departure of an outbound tour, it will
make every effort to inform the User before the outbound tour departs. If the Company receives
information of the modifications after the departure for the outbound tour, the Company booking
agent or local agent will notify the User.
- The prices indicated in the brochure will be determined at the rate in effect at the time the brochure
is printed. The Company retains the right to revise the prices written in the brochure in the event of
exchange rates, changes in the various gross exchange rates and/or fuel costs, special or peak
season charges imposed by suppliers, or increases in airline or rail fares before the date of
departure, and to surcharge accordingly. Prior to the Users departure, any price hikes shall be paid
in full.
- Aside from the immediate Terms of Service and User Agreement, some special terms and
conditions are listed against each Outbound Tour on the website, in email correspondence, and on
validated ticket vouchers. These conditions of use are also part of the Agreement and Terms of

accepted if such modifications are caused by circumstances beyond the Companyâs control.
That the following are the rules and terms for "Meal and Special Requests":

indicates the type of the meals. Except as mentioned in the brochure, the Company would not
accept a request for a particular meal or guarantee the user a specific diet.
- The Company maintains the right to amend the menu if situation requires it. If the User is unable to
use the meals on the menus for any cause, no claim can be brought against the Company with
respect to such meal.
- The User understands that hotels across the world provide breakfast at various (local) times or at the
hours mentioned in the verified reservation voucher. The User is aware that hotels do not provide

breakfast for whatever reason, no claim will be accepted.
- The Company may, in its absolute authority, consider requests for customised meals and room
allocations, provided to the relevant service providers honouring such demands. The Company
would take all necessary measures to ensure that these unique requirements are met. The
Company will not be responsible for any claims made by the User if such particular demands are not
met. Any additional costs for special meals or other special demands must be paid by the User.
- User shall be responsible for any additional expenses incurred as a result of any special meal
ordered by him or her and shall have no right to recoup the cost from the Company.
- If the User does not get the lunch owing to the Company's error, the Company's obligation is limited
to the proportional payment made to the Company for the lunch when booking the outbound tour.
The RBI requires PAN information for all transactions conducted under the Liberalized Remittance
Scheme (LRS), which includes any overseas bookings made on the platforms. The User declares
and affirms that the PAN data of the User/traveller will be supplied either during the time of making
the reservation or once the reservation is done. In the event that the traveller is a minor, the
Company reserves the right to demand the PAN of the minor's parent or legal guardian. The User
additionally agrees that failing to adhere to this criteria may lead to the booking being cancelled.
The User guarantees and acknowledges that the overall amount of foreign exchange acquired or
sent in India during the present fiscal year (including the current transaction) is within the RBI's
permissible limit. If the limit is exceeded before the actual remittance request is granted by the AD
Bank, the Company is required to cancel the booking in conformity with the law and issue a refund in
accordance with the cancellation policy applicable to said booking. The User further acknowledges
that any foreign exchange obtained for the purposes of overseas travel under the present
reservation will be used for the above-mentioned purpose.

reservations, or share the Userâs data with third parties for the primary intent of accumulating or
validating PAN specifics for the specified purposes in this Agreement.

desires to choose out of supplying the very same, or if it has previously been supplied, the User can
do so by accessing the profile information via the desktop.

the User's PAN details.
VISA OBLIGATIONS

are not limited to transit visas, which the User must achieve in accordance with the criteria of their
travel reservations and the requirements of the nations the individual wishes to visit or transit
through.
The Company assumes no liability for any challenges, which include the impossibility to travel,
arising from such visa restrictions and is also not obligated to return any amount to the User for
being unable to use the reservation because of the absence or denial of a visa, regardless of
whether the User used the Company's services for the visa process as well. Refunds, if any, will be
made in accordance with the provisions of the booking and cancellation policies.

Company is legally obligated to revoke the reservation and execute the refund in accordance with
the refund policy.

such service cannot be delivered due to circumstances beyond the control of the Company or
Service Providers. Acts of God, pandemics, epidemics, terrorist operations, government decisions,
and so on are examples of such scenarios.
If the Company becomes aware of any of the aforementioned cases where bookings are not
honored, it will use its best efforts to provide a comparable alternative to the User or reimburse the
booking money after deducting relevant service costs, if supported and returned by that specific
Service Provider. The User acknowledges that the Company, as a simple conduit of the services
and products booked, cannot be held liable for any such Force Majeure event. For any additional
resolutions or reimbursements, the User must contact the Service Provider directly.
If a booking is not confirmed due to technical challenges, the User accepts that the Company's
liability is restricted to reimbursing the reservation payment, if any, received from the User. This
refund will completely absolve the company of all liabilities stemming from the transaction. Any
additional liabilities incurred must be met entirely by the User.

RELATED SITES
Third-party websites may be linked to the company's website. However, the company has no control
over such websites and accepts no responsibility for their content. If a User visits a third-party
website, the User does so solely at his or her own risk, and the Company accepts no obligation for

circumstances listed in the previous sub-clause.

representatives or employees to solicit financial information from the User, including but not limited

CONDITIONS RELATED TO FLIGHT TICKETS
The Company merely serves as an intermediary between the User and the Airlines, and all of the
Airlines's terms and conditions, including all of the Airline's policies, apply to the User.
Airlines have the right to rearrange flight timings, alter or cancel flights or itineraries without prior
notice to the Company. As an intermediary, the Company has no influence or power over the
operations of the airlines and is thus not responsible for any injury, direct or indirect, that a User may
suffer as a result of such a flight alteration or cancellation.
Different airfares may have different limits or contain different amenities and prices.
The luggage allowance on a given ticket is determined by the airline, and the Company has no say
in the matter whatsoever. Some of the rates displayed in the purchasing flow are "hand baggage
fares," which do not qualify the User for complimentary check-in luggage and must therefore be paid
for separately. The cost of adding check-in luggage to a reservation varies per airline. The User is
encouraged to contact the airlines for specific pricing.
That in the Airlines industry, different airlines enter into a code-sharing arrangement. For the
purposes of this clause, the term "Code-Share" means a marketing arrangement where an airline
places its designator code on a flight operated by another airline and then sells tickets for that flight.
In cases where the user's flight is a "code-share," the User must be notified as soon as possible.
That the indication referred to in the previous subclause shall be issued only after the airline has
informed the Company of the same.
The final price indicated on the payment page of the Website and Mobile Application primarily
involves the base price, relevant government taxes, and a convenience charge. Prior to the
completion of their booking, User shall pay the complete price in relation to the booking. The
Company retains the right to cancel the reservation if the User does not deposit the total amount. On
the day of travel, the User undertakes to pay all relevant statutory taxes, surcharges, and fees.
To qualify for infant prices, the child must be under the age of 24 months for the full route. This
includes both departure and return trips. If the child is 24 months or older on the return journey, the
User must make a separate reservation using a child fee. Infants and children must be accompanied
by an adult, according to airline rules, and shall follow all applicable rules.
That the User always ensures that he or she has all of the documentation required by the airlines. If
the User makes a booking on behalf of another passenger, the User must personally ensure that the
traveller has all necessary documentation. The Company will not be held accountable in any way if
the User is unable to travel due to a lack of valid documentation.
The User is required to check in at the airport at the time specified by the airline, and it is the User's
sole responsibility to confirm the appropriate check-in timings with the airline.
If the User wishes to make changes to previously booked reservations, the User must do so in
accordance with the airline's policies. If the User is required to pay an additional sum as a result of a
change in the reservations, the User is obligated to pay the same.
Refunds will be issued in accordance with the airline's pricing restrictions and cancellation policy.
Such refunds are contingent on the Company obtaining them from the airlines. The convenience
charge paid to the Company at the time of booking, on the other hand, is non-refundable. All
cancellations made directly with the airline must be communicated to the Company in order for the
refund procedure to begin. Refund processing times may vary based on the manner of payment,
bank, and so on. The refund will be executed once the Company service fee, which is separate from
the convenience fee specified above, has been deducted.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO CHARTER
The booking or hiring of an entire jet, aircraft, or helicopter as available with the charter company is
referred to as a charter facility.
The Charter facility booked via the Website or Mobile Application is subject to the Charter
Company's terms and conditions, which includes but are not restricted to cancellation and refund.
This will be communicated to the User both during the booking process and via the booking
confirmation voucher.
The User agrees that the Company just serves as a conduit for the User to book a Charter. The
service contract is always between the User and the pertinent Charter Company.
The charter booking will be controlled by the Charter Company's agreements, and the Charter
Company retains the right to cancel or postpone the charter scheduled due to circumstances such
as inclement weather, lockdown, operational needs, or any unexpected technical/mechanical fault.
An alternate charter is subject to availability and is entirely at the discretion of the Charter Company,
over which the Company has no authority. Any fare difference will be invoiced based on the fare in
effect at the time of rescheduling the charter flight.
Carry-on luggage/baggage allowance, boarding and lodging facilities, number of passengers, meals,
and so on are subject to the charter company's rules, and the Company has no say in the matter.
The Company may enable communication on the User's demands to the Charter Company;
although, fulfilment of those requests is exclusively the Charter Company's discretion.
Any modifications to an existing booking will be subject to the Charter Company's charges. In the
case of a change or modification to an existing reservation, the User is required to pay the
necessary charges as applicable.
The User acknowledges that the Charter Company requires passenger names, nationality, passport
numbers, dates of issuance and expiration, medical reports, and other information well in advance in
order to secure appropriate security clearances and to fly. User further acknowledges that any
inability to travel owing to a lack of proper travel papers or refusal to board is completely the User's
fault, and the Company accepts no responsibility for the same.
Refunds will be issued in accordance with the Charter fare regulations and cancellation policy. Such
reimbursements are conditional on the Company obtaining them from the Charter Company. The
convenience charge paid to the Company at the time of booking is non-refundable. The refund will
be credited to the same account that was used to make the payment.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO CHARTER
The Company just acts as an intermediary, providing a technological medium for the User to pick
and book a certain hotel. In this sense, hotels cover all types of lodgings, including hotels,
homestays, bed and breakfast stays, farm houses, and any other alternative accommodations. All
information about the hotel, including the hotel's categorization, pictures, room type, services, and
facilities, is based on information supplied by the hotel to the Company. This material is mainly for
reference purposes. Any disparity between the website photographs and the real hotel settings must
be reported with the hotel directly and addressed between the User and the hotel. The Company will
bear no obligation or liability for any differences during the resolution stage.
The hotel booking voucher that the Company delivers to a User is completely dependent on
the information furnished or updated by the hotel to the Company. The Company will not be held
accountable under any situations for a hotel's inability to entertain the User with a scheduled
reservation, the level of service, any inadequacy in the services, or any other service-related
difficulties at the hotel.
The Company's responsibility in the event of a hotel denying check-in for any cause, including over-
booking, system or technical errors, or unavailability of rooms, etc., will be confined to either offering
an equivalent alterative accommodation at the Company's prerogative, or reimbursing the booking
sum (to the extent paid) to the User. Any other service-related concerns must be handled directly
between the User and the hotel.
The hotel has sole admission authority, and the Company has no influence in the hotel's admittance
or denial of admission. Some hotels may not allow unmarried or unrelated couples to check in,
depending on their policy. Similarly, if appropriate evidence of identification is not produced at the
time of check-in, lodging may be refused to guests posing as a couple. Some hotels may also refuse
to accept local residents as guests. The Company shall not be liable for any check-in rejected by the
hotel owing to the aforementioned reasons or any other cause beyond the Company's control. There
would be no reimbursement if the hotel refused check-in under such conditions.
The User hereby accepts and agrees that the User would be obliged to make good any damage(s)
caused to the hotel's property by any conduct of his/her/their accompanying guests which shall
include the damage caused wilfully or due to negligence. The degree and cost of the damages
would be assessed by the hotel in question. The Company would not intervene in this matter in any
manner.
To check into the hotel, the primary guest must be at least 18 years old.
At the time of check-in, the User must present a valid identification and address certificate. The hotel
reserves the right to refuse a User's check-in if a proper identity proof is not supplied at the time of
check-in or the said proof is deemed to be untrue.
Check-in and check-out times, as well as any modifications to those times, are subject to hotel policy
and terms. Reservations for early check-in or late check-out are dependent on availability, and the
hotel may impose an extra cost for such services.
The booking fee paid by the User is exclusively for the Userâs stay at the hotel. Some reservations
may include breakfast and/or meals, which will be verified at the time of booking. Any other services
used by the User at the hotel, such as laundry, room service, internet, telephone, extra food, drinks,
beverages, and so on, must be paid for directly by the User to the hotel, and the User cannot
approach the Company for a waiver of such charges or a refund of any kind.
The payment towards the booking of the hotel can be done in two ways, i.e., "prepaid" and "pay at
hotel". The complete booking amount is paid by the User at the time of booking in the "Prepaid"
model. This total booking cost comprises the hotel booking rate, tariffs, any service charge levied by
the genuine service provider, and any extra service charges or convenience fees levied by the
Company.
On a case-by-case basis, and at the sole discretion of the hotel or the Company, the User may be
given the option to submit a partial payment to the Company at the time of booking confirmation. The
rest of the booking money must be paid in accordance with the terms of the booking. For security
reasons, the User must supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the
bank or credit card information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves
the right to cancel the booking and pursue any legal action it deems appropriate.
The "Pay at hotel" model requires the hotel to receive the complete money for the reservation at the
time of check-in. In the event of overseas reservations, the payment will be processed in local
currency or any other denomination that the hotel determines. For security reasons, the User must
supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the bank or credit card
information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves

The Company exclusively offers a technological platform that links prospective passengers with bus
operators. It does not run buses or provide transportation services to the User. In addition, when
delivering the aforementioned technological platform services, the Company does not serve as an
agent or affiliate of any bus operator.
The bus ticket booking voucher that the Company gives to a User is exclusively dependent on seat
availability information given or updated by the bus operator. The bus operator provides the facilities,
services, routes, rates, timetable, bus type, seat availability, and any other facts relevant to the bus
service, and the Company has no influence over such information.
The Company, in its capacity as a technological platform that facilitates transactions between bus

supply their cars as well as their drivers.
That the Company provides the following cab-related services:
- Outstation Cabs: allows the User(s) to book vehicles run by cab operators that have an All-
India Tourist Permit (AITP) and are travelling between two cities. The Company, as a facilitator, links
the User with the relevant cab operator based on the User's request.
- Rental Cab:This enables the User to rent or hire vehicles maintained by AITP-licensed cabs. This
service will be provided on an exclusive basis for both interstate and intracity travel by hiring the full
vehicle of the cab/taxi operators.
- Airport Drop:This will only serve the needs of airport Users travelling to and from the airport. The
service offered is intracity in nature and will not help the customer arrange interstate airport
transfers.
The Company does not have its own taxi service. It has partnered with several Cab operators in
order to give Users with a complete selection of taxi service, cab types, and pricing.
The Company solely serves as a middleman between the Cab Operator and the User. Always, the
transaction is between the Cab Operator and the User.
It is the Cab Operator's entire obligation to ensure that it has all of the necessary licences,
permissions, insurance, and permits from the authorised authorities to carry out the journey booked.
The Company makes no promise or assurance on the licences, approvals, insurance, and permits
that the Cab Operator must get from the authorised authorities.
The Company shall not be liable in any way for any claims relating to the trip, including, without
limitation, claims relating to timeliness, safety, continuity, uninterrupted travel, quality, conditions of
the vehicle or driving skill, the Cab not departing or arriving on time, the cab driver's behaviour, the

baggage being lost, stolen, or damaged.
In no event shall the company be liable for any loss or damage resulting from the information

the Cab Operator.

arrangements, the Company will reimburse the User for the uncovered distance. Any claims,
liabilities, or legal fees resulting from such an occurrence are the responsibility of the Cab Operator,
and the Company shall not be held liable in any manner whatsoever.
Booking a cab might be "Prepaid" or "Part Payment," depending on the alternatives provided by the
cab operator on the Company's Website.
The complete booking amount is paid by the User at the time of booking in the "prepaid" model. The
basic fare, relevant taxes, and any additional booking costs, service fees, or convenience fees levied
by the Company are all included in the total booking amount.
The "Part Payment" approach requires the User to pay a part of the whole booking price at the time
of reservation, and the remainder payment is paid upfront to the driver at the time of boarding.
The booking fee paid for car rental and outstation cab bookings does not cover toll charges, state
taxes, traveller taxes, or any other relevant levies, which must be incurred by the User.
Tolls, permit costs, parking costs, entrance fees, service charges, and any other government taxes
imposed by the authorities must be incurred by the User and paid upfront to the driver.
Unless otherwise specified, the estimated cost offered at the time of booking is not to be considered
as the final pricing for your trip. The total cost of your journey will be determined on actual use

The Company only serves as an intermediary for visa processing and is not liable in any way for the
grant or denial of the user's visa. The issuance of a visa is solely at the discretion of the respective
Embassy.
The Company's services should not be interpreted or understood as Visa advising or consultation in
any form since it operates on the user's instructions. The User agrees that the User is entirely
responsible for understanding the visa criteria for the selected destination country or countries and
instructing the Company appropriately to begin the visa application process.
The Company's function is restricted to notifying the User about the documentation requirements for
obtaining a visa in a given country or region or obtaining the papers submitted by the User, and
submitting those documents to the appropriate embassy or high commission. The Company
provides such criteria for making a visa application (including, but not limited to, documents, fees,
and time periods) based on information supplied by the particular embassy or high-commission. The
Company cannot and will not provide advice on the merit, completeness, appropriateness, or
possibility of acceptance or denial of a visa application.
The company may also provide information on the average time it takes for an embassy or high
commission to process a visa application. However, it is the User's obligation to contact the
Company for a visa application in a timely basis in order to acquire the visa before to the period of
departure.
Each nation has different passport and visa requirements. Certain countries, for example, need a
certain number of blank pages in succession or a minimum balance length of the passport's validity.
These specifications are set by the different governments and are subject to change at any time.
While the Company will make every effort to provide its User(s) with accurate and up-to-date
information, there may be times when the necessary information is not made accessible to the
Company, and as a consequence, the Company may be unable to offer the same to its Users. In
such instances, the Company will not be held liable for any errors or omissions in such information.
The decision to grant or deny a visa is entirely at the discretion of the embassy or high commission
to which the visa application is filed. The Company has no part in evaluating or approving the visa
application. This acceptance or denial is based on a variety of variables, including the information
supplied by the User, current or prior nationality, site of visa application, residency, gender, age,
occupation, recent travel, and religion.
At its own discretion, the concerned consulate, embassy, or high commission may summon the User
for a face-to-face interview. The Company will not be involved in this procedure. The Company will,
however, notify the User of the interview date, time, and any other criteria as specified by the
relevant Embassy or High Commission.
The Company may also employ third-party contractors to handle visa applications for other
countries. These third-party contractors will be responsible for procuring visas for Users in the
countries designated to them.
When submitting a passport and filing for a visa, the Company must make all necessary efforts to
guarantee that the passport is securely handed to the user. However, the Company will not be held
accountable if the passport is misplaced or lost in transit by the logistical service provider.
The nations with respect to which visa application services are available are listed in the visa section
of both the Website and the Mobile Application. The list of nations is subject to alteration at the
Company's discretion.
The Company shall not be held accountable for any consulate, embassy, or authority's acts or
actions in delaying or failing to issue the visa for any cause. In addition, the Company is not
responsible for any incidental expenditures or additional costs by the User as a consequence of this
agreement. Even if a visa is approved, the User may be denied entrance in some cases since local
immigration officials have the last word on entry decisions.
Certain nations may have extra requirements in addition to a Visa. For example, if the User(s) is
travelling to Dubai, an "OK TO BOARD" clearance may be necessary. The user acknowledges that
granting or rejecting "permission to board" is entirely at the discretion of the relevant airline or
department, and the Company has no say in the matter. The Company only acts as an intermediary
between the User and the relevant department/airline for the implementation of "OK TO BOARD."
When applying for Visa or OK TO BOARD services, the user(s) must supply valid contact
information, as these will be the only points of contact for a prompt update on the progress of their
Visa or OK TO BOARD application.
The User recognises that the following acts are the responsibility of the User:
- By contracting the company to assist with the immigration process, the User grants the company
permission to file the requisite visa application, as well as visa fees and embassy costs, with the
pertinent embassy on his or her behalf.

request for visa processing. Such information may also include, but is not confined to, the User's
name, address, contact information, vacation destination, and any additional information deemed
required by the Company with the intention of completing the User's visa application.
- When the Company returns a User's passport and documents, it is the User's obligation to ensure
that all necessary visas have been secured and that the information included within is valid and
corresponds to their trip schedule. In addition, the User must ensure the personal information given
on the visa.
- so strictly in accordance with the User's instructions. The reapplying or appealing will be treated as a
new activity, and the User will be required to pay the relevant fee as well as a service fee to the
Company. Unless otherwise instructed by the User, the Company will not pursue any visa
reapplication.
- In some situations, the Company's third-party vendor may reject to file the User's visa application
based on the User's credentials, which may be decided based on the documentation supplied by the
User. This will only be performed if the vendor believes that there is a significant chance of the visa
being refused. If extra documents are necessary in such circumstances, the User will be notified,
and the request will be sent only if such further documentation are presented and deemed to be in
order. However, if the vendor does not file the application, the visa money will be returned, but the
Companys service charge will continue to be non-refundable.
The Company will ask the User a service charge to cover the expense of presenting the request to
the respective embassy on the User's behalf. This service price is in additional to visa fees, embassy
charges, and other comparable fees, under whatever name or as authorised by the particular
embassy. When contracting the Company to perform visa-related services, the User shall deposit
the service cost. The Company is not obligated to return the service costs for any cause, including if
the User chooses not to complete the visa application or when the visa application is refused.
In addition to the aforementioned service costs, any expenses for logistics, such as documentation
collection, passport collection, courier expenses, and so on, or any additional expense spent by the
Company outside of its ordinary area of activity must be independently charged to the Company by
the User.
Embassy fees, taxes, and other costs that are not under the Company's control are subject to
change without prior notification by embassies or government agencies, and the Company cannot
be held accountable for this. After the visa application is filed to the particular embassy, such fees,
taxes, and other expenses are non-refundable. The preceding is in accordance with the guidelines of
the particular embassy, and the Company has no influence over it.

Airlines's terms and conditions, including all of the Airline's policies, apply to the User.
Airlines have the right to rearrange flight timings, alter or cancel flights or itineraries without prior
notice to the Company. As an intermediary, the Company has no influence or power over the
operations of the airlines and is thus not responsible for any injury, direct or indirect, that a User may
suffer as a result of such a flight alteration or cancellation.
Different airfares may have different limits or contain different amenities and prices.
The luggage allowance on a given ticket is determined by the airline, and the Company has no say
in the matter whatsoever. Some of the rates displayed in the purchasing flow are "hand baggage
fares," which do not qualify the User for complimentary check-in luggage and must therefore be paid
for separately. The cost of adding check-in luggage to a reservation varies per airline. The User is
encouraged to contact the airlines for specific pricing.
That in the Airlines industry, different airlines enter into a code-sharing arrangement. For the
purposes of this clause, the term "Code-Share" means a marketing arrangement where an airline
places its designator code on a flight operated by another airline and then sells tickets for that flight.
In cases where the user's flight is a "code-share," the User must be notified as soon as possible.
That the indication referred to in the previous subclause shall be issued only after the airline has
informed the Company of the same.
The final price indicated on the payment page of the Website and Mobile Application primarily
involves the base price, relevant government taxes, and a convenience charge. Prior to the
completion of their booking, User shall pay the complete price in relation to the booking. The
Company retains the right to cancel the reservation if the User does not deposit the total amount. On
the day of travel, the User undertakes to pay all relevant statutory taxes, surcharges, and fees.
To qualify for infant prices, the child must be under the age of 24 months for the full route. This
includes both departure and return trips. If the child is 24 months or older on the return journey, the
User must make a separate reservation using a child fee. Infants and children must be accompanied
by an adult, according to airline rules, and shall follow all applicable rules.
That the User always ensures that he or she has all of the documentation required by the airlines. If
the User makes a booking on behalf of another passenger, the User must personally ensure that the
traveller has all necessary documentation. The Company will not be held accountable in any way if
the User is unable to travel due to a lack of valid documentation.
The User is required to check in at the airport at the time specified by the airline, and it is the User's
sole responsibility to confirm the appropriate check-in timings with the airline.
If the User wishes to make changes to previously booked reservations, the User must do so in
accordance with the airline's policies. If the User is required to pay an additional sum as a result of a
change in the reservations, the User is obligated to pay the same.
Refunds will be issued in accordance with the airline's pricing restrictions and cancellation policy.
Such refunds are contingent on the Company obtaining them from the airlines. The convenience
charge paid to the Company at the time of booking, on the other hand, is non-refundable. All
cancellations made directly with the airline must be communicated to the Company in order for the
refund procedure to begin. Refund processing times may vary based on the manner of payment,
bank, and so on. The refund will be executed once the Company service fee, which is separate from
the convenience fee specified above, has been deducted.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO CHARTER
The booking or hiring of an entire jet, aircraft, or helicopter as available with the charter company is
referred to as a charter facility.
The Charter facility booked via the Website or Mobile Application is subject to the Charter
Company's terms and conditions, which includes but are not restricted to cancellation and refund.
This will be communicated to the User both during the booking process and via the booking
confirmation voucher.
The User agrees that the Company just serves as a conduit for the User to book a Charter. The
service contract is always between the User and the pertinent Charter Company.
The charter booking will be controlled by the Charter Company's agreements, and the Charter
Company retains the right to cancel or postpone the charter scheduled due to circumstances such
as inclement weather, lockdown, operational needs, or any unexpected technical/mechanical fault.
An alternate charter is subject to availability and is entirely at the discretion of the Charter Company,
over which the Company has no authority. Any fare difference will be invoiced based on the fare in
effect at the time of rescheduling the charter flight.
Carry-on luggage/baggage allowance, boarding and lodging facilities, number of passengers, meals,
and so on are subject to the charter company's rules, and the Company has no say in the matter.
The Company may enable communication on the User's demands to the Charter Company;
although, fulfilment of those requests is exclusively the Charter Company's discretion.
Any modifications to an existing booking will be subject to the Charter Company's charges. In the
case of a change or modification to an existing reservation, the User is required to pay the
necessary charges as applicable.
The User acknowledges that the Charter Company requires passenger names, nationality, passport
numbers, dates of issuance and expiration, medical reports, and other information well in advance in
order to secure appropriate security clearances and to fly. User further acknowledges that any
inability to travel owing to a lack of proper travel papers or refusal to board is completely the User's
fault, and the Company accepts no responsibility for the same.
Refunds will be issued in accordance with the Charter fare regulations and cancellation policy. Such
reimbursements are conditional on the Company obtaining them from the Charter Company. The
convenience charge paid to the Company at the time of booking is non-refundable. The refund will
be credited to the same account that was used to make the payment.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO CHARTER
The Company just acts as an intermediary, providing a technological medium for the User to pick
and book a certain hotel. In this sense, hotels cover all types of lodgings, including hotels,
homestays, bed and breakfast stays, farm houses, and any other alternative accommodations. All
information about the hotel, including the hotel's categorization, pictures, room type, services, and
facilities, is based on information supplied by the hotel to the Company. This material is mainly for
reference purposes. Any disparity between the website photographs and the real hotel settings must
be reported with the hotel directly and addressed between the User and the hotel. The Company will
bear no obligation or liability for any differences during the resolution stage.
The hotel booking voucher that the Company delivers to a User is completely dependent on
the information furnished or updated by the hotel to the Company. The Company will not be held
accountable under any situations for a hotel's inability to entertain the User with a scheduled
reservation, the level of service, any inadequacy in the services, or any other service-related
difficulties at the hotel.
The Company's responsibility in the event of a hotel denying check-in for any cause, including over-
booking, system or technical errors, or unavailability of rooms, etc., will be confined to either offering
an equivalent alterative accommodation at the Company's prerogative, or reimbursing the booking
sum (to the extent paid) to the User. Any other service-related concerns must be handled directly
between the User and the hotel.
The hotel has sole admission authority, and the Company has no influence in the hotel's admittance
or denial of admission. Some hotels may not allow unmarried or unrelated couples to check in,
depending on their policy. Similarly, if appropriate evidence of identification is not produced at the
time of check-in, lodging may be refused to guests posing as a couple. Some hotels may also refuse
to accept local residents as guests. The Company shall not be liable for any check-in rejected by the
hotel owing to the aforementioned reasons or any other cause beyond the Company's control. There
would be no reimbursement if the hotel refused check-in under such conditions.
The User hereby accepts and agrees that the User would be obliged to make good any damage(s)
caused to the hotel's property by any conduct of his/her/their accompanying guests which shall
include the damage caused wilfully or due to negligence. The degree and cost of the damages
would be assessed by the hotel in question. The Company would not intervene in this matter in any
manner.
To check into the hotel, the primary guest must be at least 18 years old.
At the time of check-in, the User must present a valid identification and address certificate. The hotel
reserves the right to refuse a User's check-in if a proper identity proof is not supplied at the time of
check-in or the said proof is deemed to be untrue.
Check-in and check-out times, as well as any modifications to those times, are subject to hotel policy
and terms. Reservations for early check-in or late check-out are dependent on availability, and the
hotel may impose an extra cost for such services.
The booking fee paid by the User is exclusively for the Userâs stay at the hotel. Some reservations
may include breakfast and/or meals, which will be verified at the time of booking. Any other services
used by the User at the hotel, such as laundry, room service, internet, telephone, extra food, drinks,
beverages, and so on, must be paid for directly by the User to the hotel, and the User cannot
approach the Company for a waiver of such charges or a refund of any kind.
The payment towards the booking of the hotel can be done in two ways, i.e., "prepaid" and "pay at
hotel". The complete booking amount is paid by the User at the time of booking in the "Prepaid"
model. This total booking cost comprises the hotel booking rate, tariffs, any service charge levied by
the genuine service provider, and any extra service charges or convenience fees levied by the
Company.
On a case-by-case basis, and at the sole discretion of the hotel or the Company, the User may be
given the option to submit a partial payment to the Company at the time of booking confirmation. The
rest of the booking money must be paid in accordance with the terms of the booking. For security
reasons, the User must supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the
bank or credit card information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves
the right to cancel the booking and pursue any legal action it deems appropriate.
The "Pay at hotel" model requires the hotel to receive the complete money for the reservation at the
time of check-in. In the event of overseas reservations, the payment will be processed in local
currency or any other denomination that the hotel determines. For security reasons, the User must
supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the bank or credit card
information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves

The Company exclusively offers a technological platform that links prospective passengers with bus
operators. It does not run buses or provide transportation services to the User. In addition, when
delivering the aforementioned technological platform services, the Company does not serve as an
agent or affiliate of any bus operator.
The bus ticket booking voucher that the Company gives to a User is exclusively dependent on seat
availability information given or updated by the bus operator. The bus operator provides the facilities,
services, routes, rates, timetable, bus type, seat availability, and any other facts relevant to the bus
service, and the Company has no influence over such information.

arrangements, the Company will reimburse the User for the uncovered distance. Any claims,
liabilities, or legal fees resulting from such an occurrence are the responsibility of the Cab Operator,
and the Company shall not be held liable in any manner whatsoever.
Booking a cab might be "Prepaid" or "Part Payment," depending on the alternatives provided by the
cab operator on the Company's Website.

basic fare, relevant taxes, and any additional booking costs, service fees, or convenience fees levied
by the Company are all included in the total booking amount.
The "Part Payment" approach requires the User to pay a part of the whole booking price at the time
of reservation, and the remainder payment is paid upfront to the driver at the time of boarding.
The booking fee paid for car rental and outstation cab bookings does not cover toll charges, state
taxes, traveller taxes, or any other relevant levies, which must be incurred by the User.
Tolls, permit costs, parking costs, entrance fees, service charges, and any other government taxes
imposed by the authorities must be incurred by the User and paid upfront to the driver.
Unless otherwise specified, the estimated cost offered at the time of booking is not to be considered
as the final pricing for your trip. The total cost of your journey will be determined on actual use
(number of Kilometres and hours). For both within-city and out-of-city trips, distance and duration are
computed from garage to garage rather than from the User's pick-up location.
Where appropriate, the trip allowance must be paid directly to the driver.

Cab Operator or driver. In the case of a discrepancy in the User's or travellerâs identification, the Cab
Operator or driver of the Cab may deny entry to such person at their choice.

been scheduled by the User.

VISA SERVICES
The Company only serves as an intermediary for visa processing and is not liable in any way for the
grant or denial of the user's visa. The issuance of a visa is solely at the discretion of the respective
Embassy.
The Company's services should not be interpreted or understood as Visa advising or consultation in
any form since it operates on the user's instructions. The User agrees that the User is entirely
responsible for understanding the visa criteria for the selected destination country or countries and
instructing the Company appropriately to begin the visa application process.
The Company's function is restricted to notifying the User about the documentation requirements for
obtaining a visa in a given country or region or obtaining the papers submitted by the User, and
submitting those documents to the appropriate embassy or high commission. The Company
provides such criteria for making a visa application (including, but not limited to, documents, fees,
and time periods) based on information supplied by the particular embassy or high-commission. The
Company cannot and will not provide advice on the merit, completeness, appropriateness, or
possibility of acceptance or denial of a visa application.
The company may also provide information on the average time it takes for an embassy or high
commission to process a visa application. However, it is the User's obligation to contact the
Company for a visa application in a timely basis in order to acquire the visa before to the period of
departure.
Each nation has different passport and visa requirements. Certain countries, for example, need a
certain number of blank pages in succession or a minimum balance length of the passport's validity.
These specifications are set by the different governments and are subject to change at any time.
While the Company will make every effort to provide its User(s) with accurate and up-to-date
information, there may be times when the necessary information is not made accessible to the
Company, and as a consequence, the Company may be unable to offer the same to its Users. In
such instances, the Company will not be held liable for any errors or omissions in such information.
The decision to grant or deny a visa is entirely at the discretion of the embassy or high commission
to which the visa application is filed. The Company has no part in evaluating or approving the visa
application. This acceptance or denial is based on a variety of variables, including the information
supplied by the User, current or prior nationality, site of visa application, residency, gender, age,
occupation, recent travel, and religion.
At its own discretion, the concerned consulate, embassy, or high commission may summon the User
for a face-to-face interview. The Company will not be involved in this procedure. The Company will,
however, notify the User of the interview date, time, and any other criteria as specified by the
relevant Embassy or High Commission.
The Company may also employ third-party contractors to handle visa applications for other
countries. These third-party contractors will be responsible for procuring visas for Users in the
countries designated to them.
When submitting a passport and filing for a visa, the Company must make all necessary efforts to
guarantee that the passport is securely handed to the user. However, the Company will not be held
accountable if the passport is misplaced or lost in transit by the logistical service provider.
The nations with respect to which visa application services are available are listed in the visa section
of both the Website and the Mobile Application. The list of nations is subject to alteration at the
Company's discretion.
The Company shall not be held accountable for any consulate, embassy, or authority's acts or
actions in delaying or failing to issue the visa for any cause. In addition, the Company is not
responsible for any incidental expenditures or additional costs by the User as a consequence of this
agreement. Even if a visa is approved, the User may be denied entrance in some cases since local
immigration officials have the last word on entry decisions.
Certain nations may have extra requirements in addition to a Visa. For example, if the User(s) is
travelling to Dubai, an "OK TO BOARD" clearance may be necessary. The user acknowledges that
granting or rejecting "permission to board" is entirely at the discretion of the relevant airline or
department, and the Company has no say in the matter. The Company only acts as an intermediary
between the User and the relevant department/airline for the implementation of "OK TO BOARD."
When applying for Visa or OK TO BOARD services, the user(s) must supply valid contact
information, as these will be the only points of contact for a prompt update on the progress of their
Visa or OK TO BOARD application.
The User recognises that the following acts are the responsibility of the User:
- By contracting the company to assist with the immigration process, the User grants the company
permission to file the requisite visa application, as well as visa fees and embassy costs, with the
pertinent embassy on his or her behalf.
- The User agrees to immediately furnish the Company with the documents necessary for visa
processing. The User also guarantees that the documentation supplied are authentic and that the
information that the user has provided is accurate and correct. The Company accepts no
responsibility for verifying the authenticity of the papers or information given.
- The User(s) must also furnish the company with all essential and proper details in order to file a
request for visa processing. Such information may also include, but is not confined to, the User's
name, address, contact information, vacation destination, and any additional information deemed
required by the Company with the intention of completing the User's visa application.
- When the Company returns a User's passport and documents, it is the User's obligation to ensure
that all necessary visas have been secured and that the information included within is valid and
corresponds to their trip schedule. In addition, the User must ensure the personal information given
on the visa.
- so strictly in accordance with the User's instructions. The reapplying or appealing will be treated as a
new activity, and the User will be required to pay the relevant fee as well as a service fee to the
Company. Unless otherwise instructed by the User, the Company will not pursue any visa
reapplication.
- In some situations, the Company's third-party vendor may reject to file the User's visa application
based on the User's credentials, which may be decided based on the documentation supplied by the
User. This will only be performed if the vendor believes that there is a significant chance of the visa
being refused. If extra documents are necessary in such circumstances, the User will be notified,
and the request will be sent only if such further documentation are presented and deemed to be in
order. However, if the vendor does not file the application, the visa money will be returned, but the
Companys service charge will continue to be non-refundable.
The Company will ask the User a service charge to cover the expense of presenting the request to
the respective embassy on the User's behalf. This service price is in additional to visa fees, embassy
charges, and other comparable fees, under whatever name or as authorised by the particular
embassy. When contracting the Company to perform visa-related services, the User shall deposit
the service cost. The Company is not obligated to return the service costs for any cause, including if
the User chooses not to complete the visa application or when the visa application is refused.
In addition to the aforementioned service costs, any expenses for logistics, such as documentation
collection, passport collection, courier expenses, and so on, or any additional expense spent by the
Company outside of its ordinary area of activity must be independently charged to the Company by
the User.
Embassy fees, taxes, and other costs that are not under the Company's control are subject to
change without prior notification by embassies or government agencies, and the Company cannot
be held accountable for this. After the visa application is filed to the particular embassy, such fees,
taxes, and other expenses are non-refundable. The preceding is in accordance with the guidelines of
the particular embassy, and the Company has no influence over it.

reimbursements. In such cases, the Company's maximum responsibility shall be to reimburse the

CONDITIONS RELATED TO FLIGHT TICKETS
The Company merely serves as an intermediary between the User and the Airlines, and all of the
Airlines's terms and conditions, including all of the Airline's policies, apply to the User.
Airlines have the right to rearrange flight timings, alter or cancel flights or itineraries without prior
notice to the Company. As an intermediary, the Company has no influence or power over the
operations of the airlines and is thus not responsible for any injury, direct or indirect, that a User may
suffer as a result of such a flight alteration or cancellation.
Different airfares may have different limits or contain different amenities and prices.
The luggage allowance on a given ticket is determined by the airline, and the Company has no say
in the matter whatsoever. Some of the rates displayed in the purchasing flow are "hand baggage
fares," which do not qualify the User for complimentary check-in luggage and must therefore be paid
for separately. The cost of adding check-in luggage to a reservation varies per airline. The User is
encouraged to contact the airlines for specific pricing.
That in the Airlines industry, different airlines enter into a code-sharing arrangement. For the
purposes of this clause, the term "Code-Share" means a marketing arrangement where an airline
places its designator code on a flight operated by another airline and then sells tickets for that flight.
In cases where the user's flight is a "code-share," the User must be notified as soon as possible.
That the indication referred to in the previous subclause shall be issued only after the airline has
informed the Company of the same.
The final price indicated on the payment page of the Website and Mobile Application primarily
involves the base price, relevant government taxes, and a convenience charge. Prior to the
completion of their booking, User shall pay the complete price in relation to the booking. The
Company retains the right to cancel the reservation if the User does not deposit the total amount. On
the day of travel, the User undertakes to pay all relevant statutory taxes, surcharges, and fees.
To qualify for infant prices, the child must be under the age of 24 months for the full route. This
includes both departure and return trips. If the child is 24 months or older on the return journey, the
User must make a separate reservation using a child fee. Infants and children must be accompanied
by an adult, according to airline rules, and shall follow all applicable rules.
That the User always ensures that he or she has all of the documentation required by the airlines. If
the User makes a booking on behalf of another passenger, the User must personally ensure that the
traveller has all necessary documentation. The Company will not be held accountable in any way if
the User is unable to travel due to a lack of valid documentation.
The User is required to check in at the airport at the time specified by the airline, and it is the User's
sole responsibility to confirm the appropriate check-in timings with the airline.
If the User wishes to make changes to previously booked reservations, the User must do so in
accordance with the airline's policies. If the User is required to pay an additional sum as a result of a
change in the reservations, the User is obligated to pay the same.
Refunds will be issued in accordance with the airline's pricing restrictions and cancellation policy.
Such refunds are contingent on the Company obtaining them from the airlines. The convenience
charge paid to the Company at the time of booking, on the other hand, is non-refundable. All
cancellations made directly with the airline must be communicated to the Company in order for the
refund procedure to begin. Refund processing times may vary based on the manner of payment,
bank, and so on. The refund will be executed once the Company service fee, which is separate from
the convenience fee specified above, has been deducted.

This will be communicated to the User both during the booking process and via the booking
confirmation voucher.

service contract is always between the User and the pertinent Charter Company.
The charter booking will be controlled by the Charter Company's agreements, and the Charter
Company retains the right to cancel or postpone the charter scheduled due to circumstances such
as inclement weather, lockdown, operational needs, or any unexpected technical/mechanical fault.
An alternate charter is subject to availability and is entirely at the discretion of the Charter Company,
over which the Company has no authority. Any fare difference will be invoiced based on the fare in
effect at the time of rescheduling the charter flight.
Carry-on luggage/baggage allowance, boarding and lodging facilities, number of passengers, meals,
and so on are subject to the charter company's rules, and the Company has no say in the matter.
The Company may enable communication on the User's demands to the Charter Company;
although, fulfilment of those requests is exclusively the Charter Company's discretion.
Any modifications to an existing booking will be subject to the Charter Company's charges. In the
case of a change or modification to an existing reservation, the User is required to pay the
necessary charges as applicable.
The User acknowledges that the Charter Company requires passenger names, nationality, passport
numbers, dates of issuance and expiration, medical reports, and other information well in advance in
order to secure appropriate security clearances and to fly. User further acknowledges that any
inability to travel owing to a lack of proper travel papers or refusal to board is completely the User's
fault, and the Company accepts no responsibility for the same.
Refunds will be issued in accordance with the Charter fare regulations and cancellation policy. Such
reimbursements are conditional on the Company obtaining them from the Charter Company. The
convenience charge paid to the Company at the time of booking is non-refundable. The refund will
be credited to the same account that was used to make the payment.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO CHARTER
The Company just acts as an intermediary, providing a technological medium for the User to pick
and book a certain hotel. In this sense, hotels cover all types of lodgings, including hotels,
homestays, bed and breakfast stays, farm houses, and any other alternative accommodations. All
information about the hotel, including the hotel's categorization, pictures, room type, services, and
facilities, is based on information supplied by the hotel to the Company. This material is mainly for
reference purposes. Any disparity between the website photographs and the real hotel settings must
be reported with the hotel directly and addressed between the User and the hotel. The Company will
bear no obligation or liability for any differences during the resolution stage.
The hotel booking voucher that the Company delivers to a User is completely dependent on
the information furnished or updated by the hotel to the Company. The Company will not be held
accountable under any situations for a hotel's inability to entertain the User with a scheduled
reservation, the level of service, any inadequacy in the services, or any other service-related
difficulties at the hotel.
The Company's responsibility in the event of a hotel denying check-in for any cause, including over-
booking, system or technical errors, or unavailability of rooms, etc., will be confined to either offering
an equivalent alterative accommodation at the Company's prerogative, or reimbursing the booking
sum (to the extent paid) to the User. Any other service-related concerns must be handled directly
between the User and the hotel.
The hotel has sole admission authority, and the Company has no influence in the hotel's admittance
or denial of admission. Some hotels may not allow unmarried or unrelated couples to check in,
depending on their policy. Similarly, if appropriate evidence of identification is not produced at the
time of check-in, lodging may be refused to guests posing as a couple. Some hotels may also refuse
to accept local residents as guests. The Company shall not be liable for any check-in rejected by the
hotel owing to the aforementioned reasons or any other cause beyond the Company's control. There
would be no reimbursement if the hotel refused check-in under such conditions.
The User hereby accepts and agrees that the User would be obliged to make good any damage(s)
caused to the hotel's property by any conduct of his/her/their accompanying guests which shall
include the damage caused wilfully or due to negligence. The degree and cost of the damages
would be assessed by the hotel in question. The Company would not intervene in this matter in any
manner.
To check into the hotel, the primary guest must be at least 18 years old.
At the time of check-in, the User must present a valid identification and address certificate. The hotel
reserves the right to refuse a User's check-in if a proper identity proof is not supplied at the time of
check-in or the said proof is deemed to be untrue.
Check-in and check-out times, as well as any modifications to those times, are subject to hotel policy
and terms. Reservations for early check-in or late check-out are dependent on availability, and the
hotel may impose an extra cost for such services.
The booking fee paid by the User is exclusively for the Userâs stay at the hotel. Some reservations
may include breakfast and/or meals, which will be verified at the time of booking. Any other services
used by the User at the hotel, such as laundry, room service, internet, telephone, extra food, drinks,
beverages, and so on, must be paid for directly by the User to the hotel, and the User cannot
approach the Company for a waiver of such charges or a refund of any kind.
The payment towards the booking of the hotel can be done in two ways, i.e., "prepaid" and "pay at
hotel". The complete booking amount is paid by the User at the time of booking in the "Prepaid"
model. This total booking cost comprises the hotel booking rate, tariffs, any service charge levied by
the genuine service provider, and any extra service charges or convenience fees levied by the
Company.
On a case-by-case basis, and at the sole discretion of the hotel or the Company, the User may be
given the option to submit a partial payment to the Company at the time of booking confirmation. The
rest of the booking money must be paid in accordance with the terms of the booking. For security
reasons, the User must supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the
bank or credit card information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves
the right to cancel the booking and pursue any legal action it deems appropriate.
The "Pay at hotel" model requires the hotel to receive the complete money for the reservation at the
time of check-in. In the event of overseas reservations, the payment will be processed in local
currency or any other denomination that the hotel determines. For security reasons, the User must
supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the bank or credit card
information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves

The Company shall not be liable in any way for any claims relating to the trip, including, without
limitation, claims relating to timeliness, safety, continuity, uninterrupted travel, quality, conditions of
the vehicle or driving skill, the Cab not departing or arriving on time, the cab driver's behaviour, the
interiors of the Cab, the Cab Operator cancelling the trip for any reason whatsoever, and the User's
baggage being lost, stolen, or damaged.
In no event shall the company be liable for any loss or damage resulting from the information
accessed by the User on the Website or Mobile Application that was provided to the Company by
the Cab Operator.
If the cab breaks down or is involved in an accident and the cab operator is unable to make other
arrangements, the Company will reimburse the User for the uncovered distance. Any claims,
liabilities, or legal fees resulting from such an occurrence are the responsibility of the Cab Operator,
and the Company shall not be held liable in any manner whatsoever.
Booking a cab might be "Prepaid" or "Part Payment," depending on the alternatives provided by the
cab operator on the Company's Website.
The complete booking amount is paid by the User at the time of booking in the "prepaid" model. The
basic fare, relevant taxes, and any additional booking costs, service fees, or convenience fees levied
by the Company are all included in the total booking amount.
The "Part Payment" approach requires the User to pay a part of the whole booking price at the time
of reservation, and the remainder payment is paid upfront to the driver at the time of boarding.
The booking fee paid for car rental and outstation cab bookings does not cover toll charges, state
taxes, traveller taxes, or any other relevant levies, which must be incurred by the User.
Tolls, permit costs, parking costs, entrance fees, service charges, and any other government taxes
imposed by the authorities must be incurred by the User and paid upfront to the driver.
Unless otherwise specified, the estimated cost offered at the time of booking is not to be considered
as the final pricing for your trip. The total cost of your journey will be determined on actual use
(number of Kilometres and hours). For both within-city and out-of-city trips, distance and duration are
computed from garage to garage rather than from the User's pick-up location.
Where appropriate, the trip allowance must be paid directly to the driver.
Before taking the Cab, the User must bring a valid picture ID proof with them and display it to the
Cab Operator or driver. In the case of a discrepancy in the User's or travellerâs identification, the Cab
Operator or driver of the Cab may deny entry to such person at their choice.
Changes to the departure time, boarding point, or dropping point are not authorised once a trip has
been scheduled by the User.
The User is accountable and liable for their personal luggage's protection and safety. In no case
shall the Company be responsible for any damage to the User or their baggage.
The travel should be done in the User's own capacity and should not be utilised for commercial gain
in any way.
The User must arrive at the pickup location as soon as possible and ensure that all of the terms and
conditions are followed.
The User shall not, for any reason, request that the Cab Operator break any traffic regulations, city
police or government rules, or other relevant laws.

VISA SERVICES
The Company only serves as an intermediary for visa processing and is not liable in any way for the
grant or denial of the user's visa. The issuance of a visa is solely at the discretion of the respective
Embassy.
The Company's services should not be interpreted or understood as Visa advising or consultation in
any form since it operates on the user's instructions. The User agrees that the User is entirely
responsible for understanding the visa criteria for the selected destination country or countries and
instructing the Company appropriately to begin the visa application process.
The Company's function is restricted to notifying the User about the documentation requirements for
obtaining a visa in a given country or region or obtaining the papers submitted by the User, and
submitting those documents to the appropriate embassy or high commission. The Company
provides such criteria for making a visa application (including, but not limited to, documents, fees,
and time periods) based on information supplied by the particular embassy or high-commission. The
Company cannot and will not provide advice on the merit, completeness, appropriateness, or
possibility of acceptance or denial of a visa application.
The company may also provide information on the average time it takes for an embassy or high
commission to process a visa application. However, it is the User's obligation to contact the
Company for a visa application in a timely basis in order to acquire the visa before to the period of
departure.
Each nation has different passport and visa requirements. Certain countries, for example, need a
certain number of blank pages in succession or a minimum balance length of the passport's validity.
These specifications are set by the different governments and are subject to change at any time.
While the Company will make every effort to provide its User(s) with accurate and up-to-date
information, there may be times when the necessary information is not made accessible to the
Company, and as a consequence, the Company may be unable to offer the same to its Users. In
such instances, the Company will not be held liable for any errors or omissions in such information.
The decision to grant or deny a visa is entirely at the discretion of the embassy or high commission
to which the visa application is filed. The Company has no part in evaluating or approving the visa
application. This acceptance or denial is based on a variety of variables, including the information
supplied by the User, current or prior nationality, site of visa application, residency, gender, age,
occupation, recent travel, and religion.
At its own discretion, the concerned consulate, embassy, or high commission may summon the User
for a face-to-face interview. The Company will not be involved in this procedure. The Company will,
however, notify the User of the interview date, time, and any other criteria as specified by the
relevant Embassy or High Commission.
The Company may also employ third-party contractors to handle visa applications for other
countries. These third-party contractors will be responsible for procuring visas for Users in the
countries designated to them.
When submitting a passport and filing for a visa, the Company must make all necessary efforts to
guarantee that the passport is securely handed to the user. However, the Company will not be held
accountable if the passport is misplaced or lost in transit by the logistical service provider.
The nations with respect to which visa application services are available are listed in the visa section
of both the Website and the Mobile Application. The list of nations is subject to alteration at the
Company's discretion.
The Company shall not be held accountable for any consulate, embassy, or authority's acts or
actions in delaying or failing to issue the visa for any cause. In addition, the Company is not
responsible for any incidental expenditures or additional costs by the User as a consequence of this
agreement. Even if a visa is approved, the User may be denied entrance in some cases since local
immigration officials have the last word on entry decisions.
Certain nations may have extra requirements in addition to a Visa. For example, if the User(s) is
travelling to Dubai, an "OK TO BOARD" clearance may be necessary. The user acknowledges that
granting or rejecting "permission to board" is entirely at the discretion of the relevant airline or
department, and the Company has no say in the matter. The Company only acts as an intermediary
between the User and the relevant department/airline for the implementation of "OK TO BOARD."
When applying for Visa or OK TO BOARD services, the user(s) must supply valid contact
information, as these will be the only points of contact for a prompt update on the progress of their
Visa or OK TO BOARD application.
The User recognises that the following acts are the responsibility of the User:
- By contracting the company to assist with the immigration process, the User grants the company
permission to file the requisite visa application, as well as visa fees and embassy costs, with the
pertinent embassy on his or her behalf.
- The User agrees to immediately furnish the Company with the documents necessary for visa
processing. The User also guarantees that the documentation supplied are authentic and that the
information that the user has provided is accurate and correct. The Company accepts no
responsibility for verifying the authenticity of the papers or information given.
- The User(s) must also furnish the company with all essential and proper details in order to file a
request for visa processing. Such information may also include, but is not confined to, the User's
name, address, contact information, vacation destination, and any additional information deemed
required by the Company with the intention of completing the User's visa application.
- When the Company returns a User's passport and documents, it is the User's obligation to ensure
that all necessary visas have been secured and that the information included within is valid and
corresponds to their trip schedule. In addition, the User must ensure the personal information given
on the visa.
- so strictly in accordance with the User's instructions. The reapplying or appealing will be treated as a
new activity, and the User will be required to pay the relevant fee as well as a service fee to the
Company. Unless otherwise instructed by the User, the Company will not pursue any visa
reapplication.
- In some situations, the Company's third-party vendor may reject to file the User's visa application
based on the User's credentials, which may be decided based on the documentation supplied by the
User. This will only be performed if the vendor believes that there is a significant chance of the visa
being refused. If extra documents are necessary in such circumstances, the User will be notified,
and the request will be sent only if such further documentation are presented and deemed to be in
order. However, if the vendor does not file the application, the visa money will be returned, but the
Companys service charge will continue to be non-refundable.
The Company will ask the User a service charge to cover the expense of presenting the request to
the respective embassy on the User's behalf. This service price is in additional to visa fees, embassy
charges, and other comparable fees, under whatever name or as authorised by the particular
embassy. When contracting the Company to perform visa-related services, the User shall deposit
the service cost. The Company is not obligated to return the service costs for any cause, including if
the User chooses not to complete the visa application or when the visa application is refused.
In addition to the aforementioned service costs, any expenses for logistics, such as documentation
collection, passport collection, courier expenses, and so on, or any additional expense spent by the
Company outside of its ordinary area of activity must be independently charged to the Company by
the User.
Embassy fees, taxes, and other costs that are not under the Company's control are subject to
change without prior notification by embassies or government agencies, and the Company cannot
be held accountable for this. After the visa application is filed to the particular embassy, such fees,
taxes, and other expenses are non-refundable. The preceding is in accordance with the guidelines of
the particular embassy, and the Company has no influence over it.

CONDITIONS RELATED TO FLIGHT TICKETS

Airlines have the right to rearrange flight timings, alter or cancel flights or itineraries without prior
notice to the Company. As an intermediary, the Company has no influence or power over the

suffer as a result of such a flight alteration or cancellation.
Different airfares may have different limits or contain different amenities and prices.
The luggage allowance on a given ticket is determined by the airline, and the Company has no say
in the matter whatsoever. Some of the rates displayed in the purchasing flow are "hand baggage
fares," which do not qualify the User for complimentary check-in luggage and must therefore be paid
for separately. The cost of adding check-in luggage to a reservation varies per airline. The User is
encouraged to contact the airlines for specific pricing.
That in the Airlines industry, different airlines enter into a code-sharing arrangement. For the
purposes of this clause, the term "Code-Share" means a marketing arrangement where an airline
places its designator code on a flight operated by another airline and then sells tickets for that flight.
In cases where the user's flight is a "code-share," the User must be notified as soon as possible.
That the indication referred to in the previous subclause shall be issued only after the airline has
informed the Company of the same.
The final price indicated on the payment page of the Website and Mobile Application primarily
involves the base price, relevant government taxes, and a convenience charge. Prior to the
completion of their booking, User shall pay the complete price in relation to the booking. The
Company retains the right to cancel the reservation if the User does not deposit the total amount. On

CONDITIONS RELATED TO CHARTER
The Company just acts as an intermediary, providing a technological medium for the User to pick
and book a certain hotel. In this sense, hotels cover all types of lodgings, including hotels,
homestays, bed and breakfast stays, farm houses, and any other alternative accommodations. All
information about the hotel, including the hotel's categorization, pictures, room type, services, and
facilities, is based on information supplied by the hotel to the Company. This material is mainly for
reference purposes. Any disparity between the website photographs and the real hotel settings must
be reported with the hotel directly and addressed between the User and the hotel. The Company will
bear no obligation or liability for any differences during the resolution stage.
The hotel booking voucher that the Company delivers to a User is completely dependent on
the information furnished or updated by the hotel to the Company. The Company will not be held
accountable under any situations for a hotel's inability to entertain the User with a scheduled
reservation, the level of service, any inadequacy in the services, or any other service-related
difficulties at the hotel.
The Company's responsibility in the event of a hotel denying check-in for any cause, including over-
booking, system or technical errors, or unavailability of rooms, etc., will be confined to either offering
an equivalent alterative accommodation at the Company's prerogative, or reimbursing the booking
sum (to the extent paid) to the User. Any other service-related concerns must be handled directly
between the User and the hotel.
The hotel has sole admission authority, and the Company has no influence in the hotel's admittance
or denial of admission. Some hotels may not allow unmarried or unrelated couples to check in,
depending on their policy. Similarly, if appropriate evidence of identification is not produced at the
time of check-in, lodging may be refused to guests posing as a couple. Some hotels may also refuse
to accept local residents as guests. The Company shall not be liable for any check-in rejected by the
hotel owing to the aforementioned reasons or any other cause beyond the Company's control. There
would be no reimbursement if the hotel refused check-in under such conditions.
The User hereby accepts and agrees that the User would be obliged to make good any damage(s)
caused to the hotel's property by any conduct of his/her/their accompanying guests which shall
include the damage caused wilfully or due to negligence. The degree and cost of the damages
would be assessed by the hotel in question. The Company would not intervene in this matter in any
manner.
To check into the hotel, the primary guest must be at least 18 years old.
At the time of check-in, the User must present a valid identification and address certificate. The hotel
reserves the right to refuse a User's check-in if a proper identity proof is not supplied at the time of
check-in or the said proof is deemed to be untrue.
Check-in and check-out times, as well as any modifications to those times, are subject to hotel policy
and terms. Reservations for early check-in or late check-out are dependent on availability, and the
hotel may impose an extra cost for such services.
The booking fee paid by the User is exclusively for the Userâs stay at the hotel. Some reservations
may include breakfast and/or meals, which will be verified at the time of booking. Any other services
used by the User at the hotel, such as laundry, room service, internet, telephone, extra food, drinks,
beverages, and so on, must be paid for directly by the User to the hotel, and the User cannot
approach the Company for a waiver of such charges or a refund of any kind.
The payment towards the booking of the hotel can be done in two ways, i.e., "prepaid" and "pay at
hotel". The complete booking amount is paid by the User at the time of booking in the "Prepaid"
model. This total booking cost comprises the hotel booking rate, tariffs, any service charge levied by
the genuine service provider, and any extra service charges or convenience fees levied by the
Company.
On a case-by-case basis, and at the sole discretion of the hotel or the Company, the User may be
given the option to submit a partial payment to the Company at the time of booking confirmation. The
rest of the booking money must be paid in accordance with the terms of the booking. For security
reasons, the User must supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the
bank or credit card information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves
the right to cancel the booking and pursue any legal action it deems appropriate.
The "Pay at hotel" model requires the hotel to receive the complete money for the reservation at the
time of check-in. In the event of overseas reservations, the payment will be processed in local
currency or any other denomination that the hotel determines. For security reasons, the User must
supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the bank or credit card
information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves

any form since it operates on the user's instructions. The User agrees that the User is entirely
responsible for understanding the visa criteria for the selected destination country or countries and
instructing the Company appropriately to begin the visa application process.
The Company's function is restricted to notifying the User about the documentation requirements for
obtaining a visa in a given country or region or obtaining the papers submitted by the User, and
submitting those documents to the appropriate embassy or high commission. The Company
provides such criteria for making a visa application (including, but not limited to, documents, fees,
and time periods) based on information supplied by the particular embassy or high-commission. The
Company cannot and will not provide advice on the merit, completeness, appropriateness, or
possibility of acceptance or denial of a visa application.
The company may also provide information on the average time it takes for an embassy or high
commission to process a visa application. However, it is the User's obligation to contact the
Company for a visa application in a timely basis in order to acquire the visa before to the period of
departure.

These specifications are set by the different governments and are subject to change at any time.
While the Company will make every effort to provide its User(s) with accurate and up-to-date
information, there may be times when the necessary information is not made accessible to the
Company, and as a consequence, the Company may be unable to offer the same to its Users. In

The decision to grant or deny a visa is entirely at the discretion of the embassy or high commission
to which the visa application is filed. The Company has no part in evaluating or approving the visa
application. This acceptance or denial is based on a variety of variables, including the information
supplied by the User, current or prior nationality, site of visa application, residency, gender, age,

agreement. Even if a visa is approved, the User may be denied entrance in some cases since local
immigration officials have the last word on entry decisions.

travelling to Dubai, an "OK TO BOARD" clearance may be necessary. The user acknowledges that
granting or rejecting "permission to board" is entirely at the discretion of the relevant airline or
department, and the Company has no say in the matter. The Company only acts as an intermediary
between the User and the relevant department/airline for the implementation of "OK TO BOARD."

- When the Company returns a User's passport and documents, it is the User's obligation to ensure
that all necessary visas have been secured and that the information included within is valid and
corresponds to their trip schedule. In addition, the User must ensure the personal information given

new activity, and the User will be required to pay the relevant fee as well as a service fee to the
Company. Unless otherwise instructed by the User, the Company will not pursue any visa
reapplication.
- In some situations, the Company's third-party vendor may reject to file the User's visa application
based on the User's credentials, which may be decided based on the documentation supplied by the
User. This will only be performed if the vendor believes that there is a significant chance of the visa
being refused. If extra documents are necessary in such circumstances, the User will be notified,
and the request will be sent only if such further documentation are presented and deemed to be in
order. However, if the vendor does not file the application, the visa money will be returned, but the
Companys service charge will continue to be non-refundable.
The Company will ask the User a service charge to cover the expense of presenting the request to
the respective embassy on the User's behalf. This service price is in additional to visa fees, embassy
charges, and other comparable fees, under whatever name or as authorised by the particular
embassy. When contracting the Company to perform visa-related services, the User shall deposit
the service cost. The Company is not obligated to return the service costs for any cause, including if
the User chooses not to complete the visa application or when the visa application is refused.
In addition to the aforementioned service costs, any expenses for logistics, such as documentation
collection, passport collection, courier expenses, and so on, or any additional expense spent by the
Company outside of its ordinary area of activity must be independently charged to the Company by
the User.
Embassy fees, taxes, and other costs that are not under the Company's control are subject to
change without prior notification by embassies or government agencies, and the Company cannot
be held accountable for this. After the visa application is filed to the particular embassy, such fees,
taxes, and other expenses are non-refundable. The preceding is in accordance with the guidelines of
the particular embassy, and the Company has no influence over it.

That the following are the rules and terms for "Meal and Special Requests":

Agreement and all other agreements published on the platforms of the Company.

CONDITIONS RELATED TO FLIGHT TICKETS
The Company merely serves as an intermediary between the User and the Airlines, and all of the
Airlines's terms and conditions, including all of the Airline's policies, apply to the User.
Airlines have the right to rearrange flight timings, alter or cancel flights or itineraries without prior
notice to the Company. As an intermediary, the Company has no influence or power over the
operations of the airlines and is thus not responsible for any injury, direct or indirect, that a User may
suffer as a result of such a flight alteration or cancellation.
Different airfares may have different limits or contain different amenities and prices.
The luggage allowance on a given ticket is determined by the airline, and the Company has no say
in the matter whatsoever. Some of the rates displayed in the purchasing flow are "hand baggage
fares," which do not qualify the User for complimentary check-in luggage and must therefore be paid
for separately. The cost of adding check-in luggage to a reservation varies per airline. The User is
encouraged to contact the airlines for specific pricing.
That in the Airlines industry, different airlines enter into a code-sharing arrangement. For the
purposes of this clause, the term "Code-Share" means a marketing arrangement where an airline
places its designator code on a flight operated by another airline and then sells tickets for that flight.
In cases where the user's flight is a "code-share," the User must be notified as soon as possible.
That the indication referred to in the previous subclause shall be issued only after the airline has
informed the Company of the same.
The final price indicated on the payment page of the Website and Mobile Application primarily
involves the base price, relevant government taxes, and a convenience charge. Prior to the
completion of their booking, User shall pay the complete price in relation to the booking. The
Company retains the right to cancel the reservation if the User does not deposit the total amount. On
the day of travel, the User undertakes to pay all relevant statutory taxes, surcharges, and fees.
To qualify for infant prices, the child must be under the age of 24 months for the full route. This
includes both departure and return trips. If the child is 24 months or older on the return journey, the
User must make a separate reservation using a child fee. Infants and children must be accompanied
by an adult, according to airline rules, and shall follow all applicable rules.
That the User always ensures that he or she has all of the documentation required by the airlines. If
the User makes a booking on behalf of another passenger, the User must personally ensure that the
traveller has all necessary documentation. The Company will not be held accountable in any way if
the User is unable to travel due to a lack of valid documentation.
The User is required to check in at the airport at the time specified by the airline, and it is the User's
sole responsibility to confirm the appropriate check-in timings with the airline.
If the User wishes to make changes to previously booked reservations, the User must do so in
accordance with the airline's policies. If the User is required to pay an additional sum as a result of a
change in the reservations, the User is obligated to pay the same.
Refunds will be issued in accordance with the airline's pricing restrictions and cancellation policy.
Such refunds are contingent on the Company obtaining them from the airlines. The convenience
charge paid to the Company at the time of booking, on the other hand, is non-refundable. All
cancellations made directly with the airline must be communicated to the Company in order for the
refund procedure to begin. Refund processing times may vary based on the manner of payment,
bank, and so on. The refund will be executed once the Company service fee, which is separate from
the convenience fee specified above, has been deducted.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO CHARTER
The booking or hiring of an entire jet, aircraft, or helicopter as available with the charter company is
referred to as a charter facility.
The Charter facility booked via the Website or Mobile Application is subject to the Charter
Company's terms and conditions, which includes but are not restricted to cancellation and refund.
This will be communicated to the User both during the booking process and via the booking
confirmation voucher.
The User agrees that the Company just serves as a conduit for the User to book a Charter. The
service contract is always between the User and the pertinent Charter Company.
The charter booking will be controlled by the Charter Company's agreements, and the Charter
Company retains the right to cancel or postpone the charter scheduled due to circumstances such
as inclement weather, lockdown, operational needs, or any unexpected technical/mechanical fault.
An alternate charter is subject to availability and is entirely at the discretion of the Charter Company,
over which the Company has no authority. Any fare difference will be invoiced based on the fare in
effect at the time of rescheduling the charter flight.
Carry-on luggage/baggage allowance, boarding and lodging facilities, number of passengers, meals,
and so on are subject to the charter company's rules, and the Company has no say in the matter.
The Company may enable communication on the User's demands to the Charter Company;
although, fulfilment of those requests is exclusively the Charter Company's discretion.
Any modifications to an existing booking will be subject to the Charter Company's charges. In the
case of a change or modification to an existing reservation, the User is required to pay the
necessary charges as applicable.
The User acknowledges that the Charter Company requires passenger names, nationality, passport
numbers, dates of issuance and expiration, medical reports, and other information well in advance in
order to secure appropriate security clearances and to fly. User further acknowledges that any
inability to travel owing to a lack of proper travel papers or refusal to board is completely the User's
fault, and the Company accepts no responsibility for the same.
Refunds will be issued in accordance with the Charter fare regulations and cancellation policy. Such
reimbursements are conditional on the Company obtaining them from the Charter Company. The
convenience charge paid to the Company at the time of booking is non-refundable. The refund will
be credited to the same account that was used to make the payment.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO CHARTER
The Company just acts as an intermediary, providing a technological medium for the User to pick
and book a certain hotel. In this sense, hotels cover all types of lodgings, including hotels,
homestays, bed and breakfast stays, farm houses, and any other alternative accommodations. All
information about the hotel, including the hotel's categorization, pictures, room type, services, and
facilities, is based on information supplied by the hotel to the Company. This material is mainly for
reference purposes. Any disparity between the website photographs and the real hotel settings must
be reported with the hotel directly and addressed between the User and the hotel. The Company will
bear no obligation or liability for any differences during the resolution stage.
The hotel booking voucher that the Company delivers to a User is completely dependent on
the information furnished or updated by the hotel to the Company. The Company will not be held
accountable under any situations for a hotel's inability to entertain the User with a scheduled
reservation, the level of service, any inadequacy in the services, or any other service-related
difficulties at the hotel.
The Company's responsibility in the event of a hotel denying check-in for any cause, including over-
booking, system or technical errors, or unavailability of rooms, etc., will be confined to either offering
an equivalent alterative accommodation at the Company's prerogative, or reimbursing the booking
sum (to the extent paid) to the User. Any other service-related concerns must be handled directly
between the User and the hotel.
The hotel has sole admission authority, and the Company has no influence in the hotel's admittance
or denial of admission. Some hotels may not allow unmarried or unrelated couples to check in,
depending on their policy. Similarly, if appropriate evidence of identification is not produced at the
time of check-in, lodging may be refused to guests posing as a couple. Some hotels may also refuse
to accept local residents as guests. The Company shall not be liable for any check-in rejected by the
hotel owing to the aforementioned reasons or any other cause beyond the Company's control. There
would be no reimbursement if the hotel refused check-in under such conditions.
The User hereby accepts and agrees that the User would be obliged to make good any damage(s)
caused to the hotel's property by any conduct of his/her/their accompanying guests which shall
include the damage caused wilfully or due to negligence. The degree and cost of the damages
would be assessed by the hotel in question. The Company would not intervene in this matter in any
manner.
To check into the hotel, the primary guest must be at least 18 years old.
At the time of check-in, the User must present a valid identification and address certificate. The hotel
reserves the right to refuse a User's check-in if a proper identity proof is not supplied at the time of
check-in or the said proof is deemed to be untrue.
Check-in and check-out times, as well as any modifications to those times, are subject to hotel policy
and terms. Reservations for early check-in or late check-out are dependent on availability, and the
hotel may impose an extra cost for such services.
The booking fee paid by the User is exclusively for the Userâs stay at the hotel. Some reservations
may include breakfast and/or meals, which will be verified at the time of booking. Any other services
used by the User at the hotel, such as laundry, room service, internet, telephone, extra food, drinks,
beverages, and so on, must be paid for directly by the User to the hotel, and the User cannot
approach the Company for a waiver of such charges or a refund of any kind.
The payment towards the booking of the hotel can be done in two ways, i.e., "prepaid" and "pay at
hotel". The complete booking amount is paid by the User at the time of booking in the "Prepaid"
model. This total booking cost comprises the hotel booking rate, tariffs, any service charge levied by
the genuine service provider, and any extra service charges or convenience fees levied by the
Company.
On a case-by-case basis, and at the sole discretion of the hotel or the Company, the User may be
given the option to submit a partial payment to the Company at the time of booking confirmation. The
rest of the booking money must be paid in accordance with the terms of the booking. For security
reasons, the User must supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the
bank or credit card information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves
the right to cancel the booking and pursue any legal action it deems appropriate.
The "Pay at hotel" model requires the hotel to receive the complete money for the reservation at the
time of check-in. In the event of overseas reservations, the payment will be processed in local
currency or any other denomination that the hotel determines. For security reasons, the User must
supply the Company with accurate credit or debit card information. If the bank or credit card
information provided by the User is found to be incorrect, the company reserves
CONDITIONS RELATED TO BUS
The Company exclusively offers a technological platform that links prospective passengers with bus
operators. It does not run buses or provide transportation services to the User. In addition, when
delivering the aforementioned technological platform services, the Company does not serve as an
agent or affiliate of any bus operator.
The bus ticket booking voucher that the Company gives to a User is exclusively dependent on seat
availability information given or updated by the bus operator. The bus operator provides the facilities,
services, routes, rates, timetable, bus type, seat availability, and any other facts relevant to the bus
service, and the Company has no influence over such information.
The Company, in its capacity as a technological platform that facilitates transactions between bus

supply their cars as well as their drivers.
That the Company provides the following cab-related services:
- Outstation Cabs: allows the User(s) to book vehicles run by cab operators that have an All-
India Tourist Permit (AITP) and are travelling between two cities. The Company, as a facilitator, links
the User with the relevant cab operator based on the User's request.
- Rental Cab:This enables the User to rent or hire vehicles maintained by AITP-licensed cabs. This
service will be provided on an exclusive basis for both interstate and intracity travel by hiring the full
vehicle of the cab/taxi operators.

order to give Users with a complete selection of taxi service, cab types, and pricing.
The Company solely serves as a middleman between the Cab Operator and the User. Always, the
transaction is between the Cab Operator and the User.
It is the Cab Operator's entire obligation to ensure that it has all of the necessary licences,
permissions, insurance, and permits from the authorised authorities to carry out the journey booked.
The Company makes no promise or assurance on the licences, approvals, insurance, and permits
that the Cab Operator must get from the authorised authorities.
The Company shall not be liable in any way for any claims relating to the trip, including, without
limitation, claims relating to timeliness, safety, continuity, uninterrupted travel, quality, conditions of

baggage being lost, stolen, or damaged.
In no event shall the company be liable for any loss or damage resulting from the information

arrangements, the Company will reimburse the User for the uncovered distance. Any claims,
liabilities, or legal fees resulting from such an occurrence are the responsibility of the Cab Operator,
and the Company shall not be held liable in any manner whatsoever.
Booking a cab might be "Prepaid" or "Part Payment," depending on the alternatives provided by the
cab operator on the Company's Website.
The complete booking amount is paid by the User at the time of booking in the "prepaid" model. The
basic fare, relevant taxes, and any additional booking costs, service fees, or convenience fees levied
by the Company are all included in the total booking amount.
The "Part Payment" approach requires the User to pay a part of the whole booking price at the time
of reservation, and the remainder payment is paid upfront to the driver at the time of boarding.
The booking fee paid for car rental and outstation cab bookings does not cover toll charges, state
taxes, traveller taxes, or any other relevant levies, which must be incurred by the User.
Tolls, permit costs, parking costs, entrance fees, service charges, and any other government taxes
imposed by the authorities must be incurred by the User and paid upfront to the driver.
Unless otherwise specified, the estimated cost offered at the time of booking is not to be considered
as the final pricing for your trip. The total cost of your journey will be determined on actual use
(number of Kilometres and hours). For both within-city and out-of-city trips, distance and duration are
computed from garage to garage rather than from the User's pick-up location.
Where appropriate, the trip allowance must be paid directly to the driver.
Before taking the Cab, the User must bring a valid picture ID proof with them and display it to the
Cab Operator or driver. In the case of a discrepancy in the User's or travellerâs identification, the Cab
Operator or driver of the Cab may deny entry to such person at their choice.
Changes to the departure time, boarding point, or dropping point are not authorised once a trip has
been scheduled by the User.

VISA SERVICES
The Company only serves as an intermediary for visa processing and is not liable in any way for the
grant or denial of the user's visa. The issuance of a visa is solely at the discretion of the respective
Embassy.
The Company's services should not be interpreted or understood as Visa advising or consultation in
any form since it operates on the user's instructions. The User agrees that the User is entirely
responsible for understanding the visa criteria for the selected destination country or countries and
instructing the Company appropriately to begin the visa application process.
The Company's function is restricted to notifying the User about the documentation requirements for
obtaining a visa in a given country or region or obtaining the papers submitted by the User, and
submitting those documents to the appropriate embassy or high commission. The Company
provides such criteria for making a visa application (including, but not limited to, documents, fees,
and time periods) based on information supplied by the particular embassy or high-commission. The
Company cannot and will not provide advice on the merit, completeness, appropriateness, or
possibility of acceptance or denial of a visa application.
The company may also provide information on the average time it takes for an embassy or high
commission to process a visa application. However, it is the User's obligation to contact the
Company for a visa application in a timely basis in order to acquire the visa before to the period of
departure.
Each nation has different passport and visa requirements. Certain countries, for example, need a
certain number of blank pages in succession or a minimum balance length of the passport's validity.
These specifications are set by the different governments and are subject to change at any time.
While the Company will make every effort to provide its User(s) with accurate and up-to-date
information, there may be times when the necessary information is not made accessible to the
Company, and as a consequence, the Company may be unable to offer the same to its Users. In
such instances, the Company will not be held liable for any errors or omissions in such information.
The decision to grant or deny a visa is entirely at the discretion of the embassy or high commission
to which the visa application is filed. The Company has no part in evaluating or approving the visa
application. This acceptance or denial is based on a variety of variables, including the information
supplied by the User, current or prior nationality, site of visa application, residency, gender, age,
occupation, recent travel, and religion.
At its own discretion, the concerned consulate, embassy, or high commission may summon the User
for a face-to-face interview. The Company will not be involved in this procedure. The Company will,
however, notify the User of the interview date, time, and any other criteria as specified by the
relevant Embassy or High Commission.
The Company may also employ third-party contractors to handle visa applications for other
countries. These third-party contractors will be responsible for procuring visas for Users in the
countries designated to them.
When submitting a passport and filing for a visa, the Company must make all necessary efforts to
guarantee that the passport is securely handed to the user. However, the Company will not be held
accountable if the passport is misplaced or lost in transit by the logistical service provider.
The nations with respect to which visa application services are available are listed in the visa section
of both the Website and the Mobile Application. The list of nations is subject to alteration at the
Company's discretion.

actions in delaying or failing to issue the visa for any cause. In addition, the Company is not
responsible for any incidental expenditures or additional costs by the User as a consequence of this
agreement. Even if a visa is approved, the User may be denied entrance in some cases since local
immigration officials have the last word on entry decisions.
Certain nations may have extra requirements in addition to a Visa. For example, if the User(s) is
travelling to Dubai, an "OK TO BOARD" clearance may be necessary. The user acknowledges that
granting or rejecting "permission to board" is entirely at the discretion of the relevant airline or
department, and the Company has no say in the matter. The Company only acts as an intermediary
between the User and the relevant department/airline for the implementation of "OK TO BOARD."
When applying for Visa or OK TO BOARD services, the user(s) must supply valid contact
information, as these will be the only points of contact for a prompt update on the progress of their
Visa or OK TO BOARD application.
The User recognises that the following acts are the responsibility of the User:
- By contracting the company to assist with the immigration process, the User grants the company
permission to file the requisite visa application, as well as visa fees and embassy costs, with the
pertinent embassy on his or her behalf.

request for visa processing. Such information may also include, but is not confined to, the User's
name, address, contact information, vacation destination, and any additional information deemed
required by the Company with the intention of completing the User's visa application.
- When the Company returns a User's passport and documents, it is the User's obligation to ensure
that all necessary visas have been secured and that the information included within is valid and
corresponds to their trip schedule. In addition, the User must ensure the personal information given
on the visa.
- so strictly in accordance with the User's instructions. The reapplying or appealing will be treated as a
new activity, and the User will be required to pay the relevant fee as well as a service fee to the
Company. Unless otherwise instructed by the User, the Company will not pursue any visa
reapplication.
- In some situations, the Company's third-party vendor may reject to file the User's visa application
based on the User's credentials, which may be decided based on the documentation supplied by the
User. This will only be performed if the vendor believes that there is a significant chance of the visa
being refused. If extra documents are necessary in such circumstances, the User will be notified,
and the request will be sent only if such further documentation are presented and deemed to be in
order. However, if the vendor does not file the application, the visa money will be returned, but the
Companys service charge will continue to be non-refundable.
The Company will ask the User a service charge to cover the expense of presenting the request to
the respective embassy on the User's behalf. This service price is in additional to visa fees, embassy
charges, and other comparable fees, under whatever name or as authorised by the particular
embassy. When contracting the Company to perform visa-related services, the User shall deposit
the service cost. The Company is not obligated to return the service costs for any cause, including if
the User chooses not to complete the visa application or when the visa application is refused.
In addition to the aforementioned service costs, any expenses for logistics, such as documentation
collection, passport collection, courier expenses, and so on, or any additional expense spent by the
Company outside of its ordinary area of activity must be independently charged to the Company by
the User.
Embassy fees, taxes, and other costs that are not under the Company's control are subject to
change without prior notification by embassies or government agencies, and the Company cannot
be held accountable for this. After the visa application is filed to the particular embassy, such fees,
taxes, and other expenses are non-refundable. The preceding is in accordance with the guidelines of
the particular embassy, and the Company has no influence over it.

CONDITIONS RELATED TO CHARTER

and book a certain hotel. In this sense, hotels cover all types of lodgings, including hotels,
homestays, bed and breakfast stays, farm houses, and any other alternative accommodations. All
information about the hotel, including the hotel's categorization, pictures, room type, services, and
facilities, is based on information supplied by the hotel to the Company. This material is mainly for
reference purposes. Any disparity between the website photographs and the real hotel settings must
be reported with the hotel directly and addressed between the User and the hotel. The Company will
bear no obligation or liability for any differences during the resolution stage.
The hotel booking voucher that the Company delivers to a User is completely dependent on
the information furnished or updated by the hotel to the Company. The Company will not be held
accountable under any situations for a hotel's inability to entertain the User with a scheduled
reservation, the level of service, any inadequacy in the services, or any other service-related
difficulties at the hotel.
The Company's responsibility in the event of a hotel denying check-in for any cause, including over-
booking, system or technical errors, or unavailability of rooms, etc., will be confined to either offering
an equivalent alterative accommodation at the Company's prerogative, or reimbursing the booking
sum (to the extent paid) to the User. Any other service-related concerns must be handled directly
between the User and the hotel.
The hotel has sole admission authority, and the Company has no influence in the hotel's admittance
or denial of admission. Some hotels may not allow unmarried or unrelated couples to check in,
depending on their policy. Similarly, if appropriate evidence of identification is not produced at the
time of check-in, lodging may be refused to guests posing as a couple. Some hotels may also refuse

hotel owing to the aforementioned reasons or any other cause beyond the Company's control. There
would be no reimbursement if the hotel refused check-in under such conditions.

and terms. Reservations for early check-in or late check-out are dependent on availability, and the
hotel may impose an extra cost for such services.

may include breakfast and/or meals, which will be verified at the time of booking. Any other services
used by the User at the hotel, such as laundry, room service, internet, telephone, extra food, drinks,
beverages, and so on, must be paid for directly by the User to the hotel, and the User cannot
approach the Company for a waiver of such charges or a refund of any kind.

hotel". The complete booking amount is paid by the User at the time of booking in the "Prepaid"
model. This total booking cost comprises the hotel booking rate, tariffs, any service charge levied by

For the purposes of the Agreement, the term "Cab" shall include any vehicles utilised to carry
passengers to their preferred location.
For the purposes of the Agreement, "Cab Operator" refers to any organization or person/s that
supply their cars as well as their drivers.
That the Company provides the following cab-related services:
- Outstation Cabs: allows the User(s) to book vehicles run by cab operators that have an All-
India Tourist Permit (AITP) and are travelling between two cities. The Company, as a facilitator, links
the User with the relevant cab operator based on the User's request.
- Rental Cab:This enables the User to rent or hire vehicles maintained by AITP-licensed cabs. This
service will be provided on an exclusive basis for both interstate and intracity travel by hiring the full
vehicle of the cab/taxi operators.
- Airport Drop:This will only serve the needs of airport Users travelling to and from the airport. The
service offered is intracity in nature and will not help the customer arrange interstate airport
transfers.
The Company does not have its own taxi service. It has partnered with several Cab operators in
order to give Users with a complete selection of taxi service, cab types, and pricing.
The Company solely serves as a middleman between the Cab Operator and the User. Always, the
transaction is between the Cab Operator and the User.
It is the Cab Operator's entire obligation to ensure that it has all of the necessary licences,
permissions, insurance, and permits from the authorised authorities to carry out the journey booked.
The Company makes no promise or assurance on the licences, approvals, insurance, and permits
that the Cab Operator must get from the authorised authorities.
The Company shall not be liable in any way for any claims relating to the trip, including, without
limitation, claims relating to timeliness, safety, continuity, uninterrupted travel, quality, conditions of
the vehicle or driving skill, the Cab not departing or arriving on time, the cab driver's behaviour, the
interiors of the Cab, the Cab Operator cancelling the trip for any reason whatsoever, and the User's
baggage being lost, stolen, or damaged.
In no event shall the company be liable for any loss or damage resulting from the information
accessed by the User on the Website or Mobile Application that was provided to the Company by
the Cab Operator.
If the cab breaks down or is involved in an accident and the cab operator is unable to make other
arrangements, the Company will reimburse the User for the uncovered distance. Any claims,
liabilities, or legal fees resulting from such an occurrence are the responsibility of the Cab Operator,
and the Company shall not be held liable in any manner whatsoever.
Booking a cab might be "Prepaid" or "Part Payment," depending on the alternatives provided by the
cab operator on the Company's Website.
The complete booking amount is paid by the User at the time of booking in the "prepaid" model. The
basic fare, relevant taxes, and any additional booking costs, service fees, or convenience fees levied
by the Company are all included in the total booking amount.
The "Part Payment" approach requires the User to pay a part of the whole booking price at the time
of reservation, and the remainder payment is paid upfront to the driver at the time of boarding.
The booking fee paid for car rental and outstation cab bookings does not cover toll charges, state
taxes, traveller taxes, or any other relevant levies, which must be incurred by the User.
Tolls, permit costs, parking costs, entrance fees, service charges, and any other government taxes
imposed by the authorities must be incurred by the User and paid upfront to the driver.
Unless otherwise specified, the estimated cost offered at the time of booking is not to be considered
as the final pricing for your trip. The total cost of your journey will be determined on actual use
(number of Kilometres and hours). For both within-city and out-of-city trips, distance and duration are
computed from garage to garage rather than from the User's pick-up location.
Where appropriate, the trip allowance must be paid directly to the driver.
Before taking the Cab, the User must bring a valid picture ID proof with them and display it to the
Cab Operator or driver. In the case of a discrepancy in the User's or travellerâs identification, the Cab
Operator or driver of the Cab may deny entry to such person at their choice.
Changes to the departure time, boarding point, or dropping point are not authorised once a trip has
been scheduled by the User.
The User is accountable and liable for their personal luggage's protection and safety. In no case
shall the Company be responsible for any damage to the User or their baggage.
The travel should be done in the User's own capacity and should not be utilised for commercial gain
in any way.
The User must arrive at the pickup location as soon as possible and ensure that all of the terms and
conditions are followed.
The User shall not, for any reason, request that the Cab Operator break any traffic regulations, city
police or government rules, or other relevant laws.

VISA SERVICES
The Company only serves as an intermediary for visa processing and is not liable in any way for the
grant or denial of the user's visa. The issuance of a visa is solely at the discretion of the respective
Embassy.
The Company's services should not be interpreted or understood as Visa advising or consultation in
any form since it operates on the user's instructions. The User agrees that the User is entirely
responsible for understanding the visa criteria for the selected destination country or countries and
instructing the Company appropriately to begin the visa application process.
The Company's function is restricted to notifying the User about the documentation requirements for
obtaining a visa in a given country or region or obtaining the papers submitted by the User, and
submitting those documents to the appropriate embassy or high commission. The Company
provides such criteria for making a visa application (including, but not limited to, documents, fees,
and time periods) based on information supplied by the particular embassy or high-commission. The
Company cannot and will not provide advice on the merit, completeness, appropriateness, or
possibility of acceptance or denial of a visa application.
The company may also provide information on the average time it takes for an embassy or high
commission to process a visa application. However, it is the User's obligation to contact the
Company for a visa application in a timely basis in order to acquire the visa before to the period of
departure.
Each nation has different passport and visa requirements. Certain countries, for example, need a
certain number of blank pages in succession or a minimum balance length of the passport's validity.
These specifications are set by the different governments and are subject to change at any time.
While the Company will make every effort to provide its User(s) with accurate and up-to-date
information, there may be times when the necessary information is not made accessible to the
Company, and as a consequence, the Company may be unable to offer the same to its Users. In
such instances, the Company will not be held liable for any errors or omissions in such information.
The decision to grant or deny a visa is entirely at the discretion of the embassy or high commission
to which the visa application is filed. The Company has no part in evaluating or approving the visa
application. This acceptance or denial is based on a variety of variables, including the information
supplied by the User, current or prior nationality, site of visa application, residency, gender, age,
occupation, recent travel, and religion.
At its own discretion, the concerned consulate, embassy, or high commission may summon the User
for a face-to-face interview. The Company will not be involved in this procedure. The Company will,
however, notify the User of the interview date, time, and any other criteria as specified by the
relevant Embassy or High Commission.
The Company may also employ third-party contractors to handle visa applications for other
countries. These third-party contractors will be responsible for procuring visas for Users in the
countries designated to them.
When submitting a passport and filing for a visa, the Company must make all necessary efforts to
guarantee that the passport is securely handed to the user. However, the Company will not be held
accountable if the passport is misplaced or lost in transit by the logistical service provider.
The nations with respect to which visa application services are available are listed in the visa section
of both the Website and the Mobile Application. The list of nations is subject to alteration at the
Company's discretion.
The Company shall not be held accountable for any consulate, embassy, or authority's acts or
actions in delaying or failing to issue the visa for any cause. In addition, the Company is not
responsible for any incidental expenditures or additional costs by the User as a consequence of this
agreement. Even if a visa is approved, the User may be denied entrance in some cases since local
immigration officials have the last word on entry decisions.
Certain nations may have extra requirements in addition to a Visa. For example, if the User(s) is
travelling to Dubai, an "OK TO BOARD" clearance may be necessary. The user acknowledges that
granting or rejecting "permission to board" is entirely at the discretion of the relevant airline or
department, and the Company has no say in the matter. The Company only acts as an intermediary
between the User and the relevant department/airline for the implementation of "OK TO BOARD."
When applying for Visa or OK TO BOARD services, the user(s) must supply valid contact
information, as these will be the only points of contact for a prompt update on the progress of their
Visa or OK TO BOARD application.
The User recognises that the following acts are the responsibility of the User:

permission to file the requisite visa application, as well as visa fees and embassy costs, with the

request for visa processing. Such information may also include, but is not confined to, the User's
name, address, contact information, vacation destination, and any additional information deemed
required by the Company with the intention of completing the User's visa application.
- When the Company returns a User's passport and documents, it is the User's obligation to ensure
that all necessary visas have been secured and that the information included within is valid and
corresponds to their trip schedule. In addition, the User must ensure the personal information given
on the visa.
- so strictly in accordance with the User's instructions. The reapplying or appealing will be treated as a
new activity, and the User will be required to pay the relevant fee as well as a service fee to the
Company. Unless otherwise instructed by the User, the Company will not pursue any visa
reapplication.
- In some situations, the Company's third-party vendor may reject to file the User's visa application
based on the User's credentials, which may be decided based on the documentation supplied by the
User. This will only be performed if the vendor believes that there is a significant chance of the visa
being refused. If extra documents are necessary in such circumstances, the User will be notified,
and the request will be sent only if such further documentation are presented and deemed to be in
order. However, if the vendor does not file the application, the visa money will be returned, but the
Companys service charge will continue to be non-refundable.
The Company will ask the User a service charge to cover the expense of presenting the request to
the respective embassy on the User's behalf. This service price is in additional to visa fees, embassy
charges, and other comparable fees, under whatever name or as authorised by the particular
embassy. When contracting the Company to perform visa-related services, the User shall deposit
the service cost. The Company is not obligated to return the service costs for any cause, including if
the User chooses not to complete the visa application or when the visa application is refused.
In addition to the aforementioned service costs, any expenses for logistics, such as documentation
collection, passport collection, courier expenses, and so on, or any additional expense spent by the
Company outside of its ordinary area of activity must be independently charged to the Company by
the User.
Embassy fees, taxes, and other costs that are not under the Company's control are subject to
change without prior notification by embassies or government agencies, and the Company cannot
be held accountable for this. After the visa application is filed to the particular embassy, such fees,
taxes, and other expenses are non-refundable. The preceding is in accordance with the guidelines of
the particular embassy, and the Company has no influence over it.

For the purposes of the Agreement, the term "Cab" shall include any vehicles utilised to carry
passengers to their preferred location.
For the purposes of the Agreement, "Cab Operator" refers to any organization or person/s that
supply their cars as well as their drivers.
That the Company provides the following cab-related services:
- Outstation Cabs: allows the User(s) to book vehicles run by cab operators that have an All-
India Tourist Permit (AITP) and are travelling between two cities. The Company, as a facilitator, links
the User with the relevant cab operator based on the User's request.
- Rental Cab:This enables the User to rent or hire vehicles maintained by AITP-licensed cabs. This
service will be provided on an exclusive basis for both interstate and intracity travel by hiring the full
vehicle of the cab/taxi operators.
- Airport Drop:This will only serve the needs of airport Users travelling to and from the airport. The
service offered is intracity in nature and will not help the customer arrange interstate airport
transfers.
The Company does not have its own taxi service. It has partnered with several Cab operators in
order to give Users with a complete selection of taxi service, cab types, and pricing.
The Company solely serves as a middleman between the Cab Operator and the User. Always, the
transaction is between the Cab Operator and the User.
It is the Cab Operator's entire obligation to ensure that it has all of the necessary licences,
permissions, insurance, and permits from the authorised authorities to carry out the journey booked.
The Company makes no promise or assurance on the licences, approvals, insurance, and permits
that the Cab Operator must get from the authorised authorities.
The Company shall not be liable in any way for any claims relating to the trip, including, without
limitation, claims relating to timeliness, safety, continuity, uninterrupted travel, quality, conditions of
the vehicle or driving skill, the Cab not departing or arriving on time, the cab driver's behaviour, the
interiors of the Cab, the Cab Operator cancelling the trip for any reason whatsoever, and the User's
baggage being lost, stolen, or damaged.
In no event shall the company be liable for any loss or damage resulting from the information
accessed by the User on the Website or Mobile Application that was provided to the Company by
the Cab Operator.
If the cab breaks down or is involved in an accident and the cab operator is unable to make other
arrangements, the Company will reimburse the User for the uncovered distance. Any claims,
liabilities, or legal fees resulting from such an occurrence are the responsibility of the Cab Operator,
and the Company shall not be held liable in any manner whatsoever.
Booking a cab might be "Prepaid" or "Part Payment," depending on the alternatives provided by the
cab operator on the Company's Website.
The complete booking amount is paid by the User at the time of booking in the "prepaid" model. The
basic fare, relevant taxes, and any additional booking costs, service fees, or convenience fees levied
by the Company are all included in the total booking amount.
The "Part Payment" approach requires the User to pay a part of the whole booking price at the time
of reservation, and the remainder payment is paid upfront to the driver at the time of boarding.
The booking fee paid for car rental and outstation cab bookings does not cover toll charges, state
taxes, traveller taxes, or any other relevant levies, which must be incurred by the User.
Tolls, permit costs, parking costs, entrance fees, service charges, and any other government taxes
imposed by the authorities must be incurred by the User and paid upfront to the driver.
Unless otherwise specified, the estimated cost offered at the time of booking is not to be considered
as the final pricing for your trip. The total cost of your journey will be determined on actual use
(number of Kilometres and hours). For both within-city and out-of-city trips, distance and duration are
computed from garage to garage rather than from the User's pick-up location.
Where appropriate, the trip allowance must be paid directly to the driver.
Before taking the Cab, the User must bring a valid picture ID proof with them and display it to the
Cab Operator or driver. In the case of a discrepancy in the User's or travellerâs identification, the Cab
Operator or driver of the Cab may deny entry to such person at their choice.
Changes to the departure time, boarding point, or dropping point are not authorised once a trip has
been scheduled by the User.
The User is accountable and liable for their personal luggage's protection and safety. In no case
shall the Company be responsible for any damage to the User or their baggage.
The travel should be done in the User's own capacity and should not be utilised for commercial gain
in any way.
The User must arrive at the pickup location as soon as possible and ensure that all of the terms and
conditions are followed.

police or government rules, or other relevant laws.

Embassy.
The Company's services should not be interpreted or understood as Visa advising or consultation in
any form since it operates on the user's instructions. The User agrees that the User is entirely
responsible for understanding the visa criteria for the selected destination country or countries and
instructing the Company appropriately to begin the visa application process.
The Company's function is restricted to notifying the User about the documentation requirements for
obtaining a visa in a given country or region or obtaining the papers submitted by the User, and
submitting those documents to the appropriate embassy or high commission. The Company
provides such criteria for making a visa application (including, but not limited to, documents, fees,
and time periods) based on information supplied by the particular embassy or high-commission. The
Company cannot and will not provide advice on the merit, completeness, appropriateness, or
possibility of acceptance or denial of a visa application.
The company may also provide information on the average time it takes for an embassy or high
commission to process a visa application. However, it is the User's obligation to contact the
Company for a visa application in a timely basis in order to acquire the visa before to the period of
departure.

certain number of blank pages in succession or a minimum balance length of the passport's validity.

While the Company will make every effort to provide its User(s) with accurate and up-to-date
information, there may be times when the necessary information is not made accessible to the
Company, and as a consequence, the Company may be unable to offer the same to its Users. In
such instances, the Company will not be held liable for any errors or omissions in such information.
The decision to grant or deny a visa is entirely at the discretion of the embassy or high commission
to which the visa application is filed. The Company has no part in evaluating or approving the visa
application. This acceptance or denial is based on a variety of variables, including the information
supplied by the User, current or prior nationality, site of visa application, residency, gender, age,
occupation, recent travel, and religion.
At its own discretion, the concerned consulate, embassy, or high commission may summon the User
for a face-to-face interview. The Company will not be involved in this procedure. The Company will,
however, notify the User of the interview date, time, and any other criteria as specified by the
relevant Embassy or High Commission.
The Company may also employ third-party contractors to handle visa applications for other
countries. These third-party contractors will be responsible for procuring visas for Users in the
countries designated to them.

guarantee that the passport is securely handed to the user. However, the Company will not be held
accountable if the passport is misplaced or lost in transit by the logistical service provider.

actions in delaying or failing to issue the visa for any cause. In addition, the Company is not
responsible for any incidental expenditures or additional costs by the User as a consequence of this
agreement. Even if a visa is approved, the User may be denied entrance in some cases since local
immigration officials have the last word on entry decisions.
Certain nations may have extra requirements in addition to a Visa. For example, if the User(s) is
travelling to Dubai, an "OK TO BOARD" clearance may be necessary. The user acknowledges that
granting or rejecting "permission to board" is entirely at the discretion of the relevant airline or
department, and the Company has no say in the matter. The Company only acts as an intermediary
between the User and the relevant department/airline for the implementation of "OK TO BOARD."

information, as these will be the only points of contact for a prompt update on the progress of their
Visa or OK TO BOARD application.

name, address, contact information, vacation destination, and any additional information deemed
required by the Company with the intention of completing the User's visa application.
- When the Company returns a User's passport and documents, it is the User's obligation to ensure
that all necessary visas have been secured and that the information included within is valid and
corresponds to their trip schedule. In addition, the User must ensure the personal information given
on the visa.
- so strictly in accordance with the User's instructions. The reapplying or appealing will be treated as a
new activity, and the User will be required to pay the relevant fee as well as a service fee to the
Company. Unless otherwise instructed by the User, the Company will not pursue any visa
reapplication.
- In some situations, the Company's third-party vendor may reject to file the User's visa application
based on the User's credentials, which may be decided based on the documentation supplied by the
User. This will only be performed if the vendor believes that there is a significant chance of the visa
being refused. If extra documents are necessary in such circumstances, the User will be notified,
and the request will be sent only if such further documentation are presented and deemed to be in
order. However, if the vendor does not file the application, the visa money will be returned, but the
Companys service charge will continue to be non-refundable.
The Company will ask the User a service charge to cover the expense of presenting the request to
the respective embassy on the User's behalf. This service price is in additional to visa fees, embassy
charges, and other comparable fees, under whatever name or as authorised by the particular
embassy. When contracting the Company to perform visa-related services, the User shall deposit
the service cost. The Company is not obligated to return the service costs for any cause, including if
the User chooses not to complete the visa application or when the visa application is refused.
In addition to the aforementioned service costs, any expenses for logistics, such as documentation
collection, passport collection, courier expenses, and so on, or any additional expense spent by the
Company outside of its ordinary area of activity must be independently charged to the Company by
the User.
Embassy fees, taxes, and other costs that are not under the Company's control are subject to
change without prior notification by embassies or government agencies, and the Company cannot
be held accountable for this. After the visa application is filed to the particular embassy, such fees,
taxes, and other expenses are non-refundable. The preceding is in accordance with the guidelines of
the particular embassy, and the Company has no influence over it.

responsible for understanding the visa criteria for the selected destination country or countries and
instructing the Company appropriately to begin the visa application process.

obtaining a visa in a given country or region or obtaining the papers submitted by the User, and
submitting those documents to the appropriate embassy or high commission. The Company

Company. Unless otherwise instructed by the User, the Company will not pursue any visa
reapplication.
- In some situations, the Company's third-party vendor may reject to file the User's visa application
based on the User's credentials, which may be decided based on the documentation supplied by the
User. This will only be performed if the vendor believes that there is a significant chance of the visa
being refused. If extra documents are necessary in such circumstances, the User will be notified,
and the request will be sent only if such further documentation are presented and deemed to be in
order. However, if the vendor does not file the application, the visa money will be returned, but the
Companys service charge will continue to be non-refundable.

charges, and other comparable fees, under whatever name or as authorised by the particular
embassy. When contracting the Company to perform visa-related services, the User shall deposit
the service cost. The Company is not obligated to return the service costs for any cause, including if
the User chooses not to complete the visa application or when the visa application is refused.

collection, passport collection, courier expenses, and so on, or any additional expense spent by the
Company outside of its ordinary area of activity must be independently charged to the Company by

provides such criteria for making a visa application (including, but not limited to, documents, fees,
and time periods) based on information supplied by the particular embassy or high-commission. The
Company cannot and will not provide advice on the merit, completeness, appropriateness, or
possibility of acceptance or denial of a visa application.
The company may also provide information on the average time it takes for an embassy or high
commission to process a visa application. However, it is the User's obligation to contact the
Company for a visa application in a timely basis in order to acquire the visa before to the period of
departure.
Each nation has different passport and visa requirements. Certain countries, for example, need a
certain number of blank pages in succession or a minimum balance length of the passport's validity.
These specifications are set by the different governments and are subject to change at any time.
While the Company will make every effort to provide its User(s) with accurate and up-to-date
information, there may be times when the necessary information is not made accessible to the
Company, and as a consequence, the Company may be unable to offer the same to its Users. In
such instances, the Company will not be held liable for any errors or omissions in such information.
The decision to grant or deny a visa is entirely at the discretion of the embassy or high commission
to which the visa application is filed. The Company has no part in evaluating or approving the visa
application. This acceptance or denial is based on a variety of variables, including the information
supplied by the User, current or prior nationality, site of visa application, residency, gender, age,
occupation, recent travel, and religion.
At its own discretion, the concerned consulate, embassy, or high commission may summon the User
for a face-to-face interview. The Company will not be involved in this procedure. The Company will,
however, notify the User of the interview date, time, and any other criteria as specified by the
relevant Embassy or High Commission.
The Company may also employ third-party contractors to handle visa applications for other
countries. These third-party contractors will be responsible for procuring visas for Users in the
countries designated to them.
When submitting a passport and filing for a visa, the Company must make all necessary efforts to
guarantee that the passport is securely handed to the user. However, the Company will not be held
accountable if the passport is misplaced or lost in transit by the logistical service provider.
The nations with respect to which visa application services are available are listed in the visa section
of both the Website and the Mobile Application. The list of nations is subject to alteration at the
Company's discretion.
The Company shall not be held accountable for any consulate, embassy, or authority's acts or
actions in delaying or failing to issue the visa for any cause. In addition, the Company is not
responsible for any incidental expenditures or additional costs by the User as a consequence of this
agreement. Even if a visa is approved, the User may be denied entrance in some cases since local
immigration officials have the last word on entry decisions.
Certain nations may have extra requirements in addition to a Visa. For example, if the User(s) is
travelling to Dubai, an "OK TO BOARD" clearance may be necessary. The user acknowledges that
granting or rejecting "permission to board" is entirely at the discretion of the relevant airline or
department, and the Company has no say in the matter. The Company only acts as an intermediary
between the User and the relevant department/airline for the implementation of "OK TO BOARD."
When applying for Visa or OK TO BOARD services, the user(s) must supply valid contact
information, as these will be the only points of contact for a prompt update on the progress of their
Visa or OK TO BOARD application.
The User recognises that the following acts are the responsibility of the User:
- By contracting the company to assist with the immigration process, the User grants the company
permission to file the requisite visa application, as well as visa fees and embassy costs, with the
pertinent embassy on his or her behalf.
- The User agrees to immediately furnish the Company with the documents necessary for visa
processing. The User also guarantees that the documentation supplied are authentic and that the
information that the user has provided is accurate and correct. The Company accepts no
responsibility for verifying the authenticity of the papers or information given.
- The User(s) must also furnish the company with all essential and proper details in order to file a
request for visa processing. Such information may also include, but is not confined to, the User's
name, address, contact information, vacation destination, and any additional information deemed
required by the Company with the intention of completing the User's visa application.
- When the Company returns a User's passport and documents, it is the User's obligation to ensure
that all necessary visas have been secured and that the information included within is valid and
corresponds to their trip schedule. In addition, the User must ensure the personal information given
on the visa.
- so strictly in accordance with the User's instructions. The reapplying or appealing will be treated as a
new activity, and the User will be required to pay the relevant fee as well as a service fee to the
Company. Unless otherwise instructed by the User, the Company will not pursue any visa
reapplication.
- In some situations, the Company's third-party vendor may reject to file the User's visa application
based on the User's credentials, which may be decided based on the documentation supplied by the
User. This will only be performed if the vendor believes that there is a significant chance of the visa
being refused. If extra documents are necessary in such circumstances, the User will be notified,
and the request will be sent only if such further documentation are presented and deemed to be in
order. However, if the vendor does not file the application, the visa money will be returned, but the
Companys service charge will continue to be non-refundable.
The Company will ask the User a service charge to cover the expense of presenting the request to
the respective embassy on the User's behalf. This service price is in additional to visa fees, embassy
charges, and other comparable fees, under whatever name or as authorised by the particular
embassy. When contracting the Company to perform visa-related services, the User shall deposit
the service cost. The Company is not obligated to return the service costs for any cause, including if
the User chooses not to complete the visa application or when the visa application is refused.
In addition to the aforementioned service costs, any expenses for logistics, such as documentation
collection, passport collection, courier expenses, and so on, or any additional expense spent by the
Company outside of its ordinary area of activity must be independently charged to the Company by
the User.
Embassy fees, taxes, and other costs that are not under the Company's control are subject to
change without prior notification by embassies or government agencies, and the Company cannot
be held accountable for this. After the visa application is filed to the particular embassy, such fees,
taxes, and other expenses are non-refundable. The preceding is in accordance with the guidelines of
the particular embassy, and the Company has no influence over it.
- By contracting the company to assist with the immigration process, the User grants the company permission to file the requisite visa application, as well as visa fees and embassy costs, with the pertinent embassy on his or her behalf.
- The User agrees to immediately furnish the Company with the documents necessary for visa processing. The User also guarantees that the documentation supplied are authentic and that the information that the user has provided is accurate and correct. The Company accepts no responsibility for verifying the authenticity of the papers or information given.

The reapplying or appealing will be treated as a new activity, and the User will be required to pay the relevant fee as well as a service fee to the Company. Unless otherwise instructed by the User, the Company will not pursue any visa reapplication.

This will only be performed if the vendor believes that there is a significant chance of the visa being refused. If extra documents are necessary in such circumstances, the User will be notified, and the request will be sent only if such further documentation are presented and deemed to be in order. However, if the vendor does not file the application, the visa money will be returned, but the Companys service charge will continue to be non-refundable.

CONDITIONS RELATED TO SELF-DRIVEN CARS
As used in this text, the term "cab" refers to all types of transportation vehicles such as sedans,
hatchbacks, sport utility vehicles, multi utility vehicles, and any other vehicle designed to carry
passengers.
The word "Operator" refers to any corporation involved in the rental of motor vehicles.
The Company does not provide or give self-drive taxi services, and the User acknowledges this. It
just serves as a conduit for the user to schedule a self-drive cab with the service providers who
supply these services. The service contract for the usage of self-drive cabs always exists between
the customer and the operator. The User also realises that the Company just displays taxis made
accessible on its platform by various providers. The User further acknowledges that the
Company should never be referred to as an "operator" in line with the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988
and the Rent a Cab Scheme of 1989.
The User knows that the operator delivers the self-drive vehicle service and verifies the reservation
made with the operator via the website of the Company or Mobile Application. The reservation is
conditional on the customer consenting to the operator's conditions of rental for renting the car,
including the supply of original identity documents as necessary for renting the vehicle. The user
knows that a valid driver's licence is required to make a reservation. If the user does not have a valid
driver's license or fails to present the original for confirmation, the operator is entitled to refuse to
hand over the car.
The Company simply distributes a confirmation voucher based on the operator's approval on every
specific booking. The User also accepts that the payment amount against any specific booking is
determined by the operator, and that the Company has no influence in determining any costs.
The operator handles the transfer of taxis to Users and the collection of cabs from Users upon
conclusion of a booking, and the Company has no role in that procedure. The operator will resolve
any concerns that the User encounters when picking up the car. In the event of a disagreement over
cab damages, the user and operator must resolve it individually. Any deductions or additional
charges, shall be at the operator's discretion.
It is the operator's entire obligation to guarantee that it has all of the necessary licences,
permissions, insurance, and licenses from the right authorities to offer a taxi for rent. The Company
makes no promise or guarantee on the necessary licences, approvals, insurance, and permissions
that the operator must get from the authorised authorities.
The Company shall not be liable in any way for whatever claims relating to compliance to
punctuality, security, cleanliness, and condition of the Cabs, termination of the reservation by the
Operators for any cause, discrepancies in the reservation, or any action or error on the part of the
Operator.
The User further acknowledges that the Company will have no duty or obligation in the event of a
mishap or accident that results in vehicle damage, injury, or death.
If the taxi breaks down or is involved in an accident and the operator is not able to make reasonable
adjustments, the Company has no obligation to reimburse the User. The Company's responsibility to
give a proportional return to the User shall be restricted. Such reimbursements are conditional on the
Company obtaining them from the operator.
That, in addition to the conditions specified in this Agreement, the User will be bound by the terms of
such an operator. Currently, the company has agreements with Consolidator such operators, Airline
and Hotel. The terms and conditions of such operators can be accessed through the following links:
Respective Airline and Hotel websites.
The User accepts that, in addition to the booking price imposed by the Operator, the Company may
charge an extra fee in the form of a convenience fee or support fee. The additional fees reflect the
costs incurred by the Company in arranging such reservations. The User accepts that the
aforementioned costs are completely non-refundable. The User also accepts that the sum
received by the Company for every specific reservation is transferred on to the Operator, and so the
Company cannot be referred to as an Operator simply because it takes payments for any
reservation.
Unless otherwise specified, the estimate cost supplied at the point of booking is not to be considered
as the final pricing. The final fee will be computed depending on the car's verification upon return to
the Operator or its agent. Any reimbursements will be issued to the User based on the data gathered
by the Operator.
In addition to the prices indicated above, the User must pay a Security charge at the time of
reservation. The amount paid as a security charge is solely controlled by the operator's rules, and
the Company will have no part in establishing the conditions of reimbursement of such a deposit at
the time of cab handover.
Any reservation is subjected to the cancellation policy specified on the website or mobile
application or notified to the user at the point of booking.
The User also undertakes to bear expenditures such as tolls, permit fees, parking fees, admission
fees, service charges, and any other tax imposed by government agencies. The User also agrees to
pay any penalties imposed by any appropriate authority in the case of a breach of any traffic and/or
traffic regulations.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO COVID-19
That the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and that owing to the
emergence of this virus, certain circumstances may develop in which the Service Provider may
cancel the User's reservations without notice. The following are the such scenarios:
- showing any COVID-19 related symptoms.
- refusing to follow safety precautions such as wearing face masks & shields or adhering to social
distance standards, etc.
