Prepaid Hotel Reservations

• You acknowledge that the some suppliers used pre-negotiate select room rates with hotel suppliers to facilitate the booking of reservations on your behalf. You also acknowledge that the suppliers provide you services to facilitate such booking of reservations for a consideration (the “facilitation fee”). The room rate confirmed is a combination of the pre-negotiated room rate for rooms reserved on your behalf by the supplier Companies and the facilitation fee retained by those suppliers to compensate for their services. You authorize PS to book reservations for the total reservation price, which includes the room rate, plus tax recovery charges, and service fees. You agree that your credit card will be charged for the total reservation price. Upon submitting your reservation request you authorize PS to facilitate hotel reservations on your behalf, including making payment arrangements with hotel suppliers.
• You acknowledge that PS or the suppliers do not collect taxes for remittance to applicable taxing authorities. The tax recovery charges on prepaid hotel transactions are a recovery of the estimated transaction taxes (e.g. sales and use, occupancy, room tax, excise tax, value added tax, etc.) that the supplier pays to the hotel supplier in connection with your hotel reservations. The hotel suppliers invoice the suppliers for tax amounts. The Hotel suppliers remit applicable taxes to the applicable taxing jurisdictions. PS does not act as co-vendors with the supplier with whom we book or reserve our customer's travel arrangements. Taxability and the appropriate tax rate vary greatly by location. The actual tax amounts paid by the supplier to the hotel suppliers may vary from the tax recovery charge amounts, depending upon the rates, taxability, etc. in effect at the time of the actual use of the hotel by our customers. We retain our service fees as compensation in servicing your travel reservation. Our service fees vary based on the amount and type of hotel reservation.
• You may cancel or change your prepaid hotel reservation, but you will be charged the cancellation or change fee indicated in the rules and restrictions for the hotel reservation. If you do not cancel or change your reservation before the cancellation policy period applicable to the hotel you reserved, which varies by hotel (usually 24 to 72 hours) prior to your date of arrival), you will be subject to a charge equal to nightly rates, tax recovery charges and service fees. In the event you do not show for the first night of the reservation and plan to check-in for subsequent nights in your reservation, you must confirm the reservation changes with Classic Vacations no later than the date of the first night of the reservation to prevent cancellation of your reservation.
• You agree to pay any cancellation or change fees that you incur. In limited cases, some hotels do not permit changes to or cancellations of reservations after they are made, as indicated in the rules and restrictions for the hotel reservation. You agree to abide by the terms and conditions imposed with respect to your prepaid hotel reservations.

 

Accommodations

• Hotel accommodation is subject to availability at the time of reservation.
• Some hotels require non-refundable and non-transferable deposits to guarantee a booking. In such cases, PS will notify you for the non-refundable prepayment for that portion of the trip.
• At certain times during the year, a supplement may apply.
• Single, triple, and quad rooms should be requested at time of booking. Room configurations vary and King and Queen sized beds are not typically available in standard rooms outside of the USA.
• All rooms are standard run of the house rooms, unless otherwise stated.
• Special requests such as elevators, air conditioning, etc are not guaranteed in all properties. In addition, even if a property has amenities such as air conditioning or elevator, it is not guaranteed that it will be operational during your stay. Reimbursement for lack of amenities is solely the responsibility of the providing servicer or firm, and while PS may act as an intermediary, PS cannot be held responsible for third-party insufficiencies.

Changes to the itinerary or the request of additional services will require re-pricing for either those services or the entire itinerary.

Itinerary changes after the initial deposit, will be calculated at the exchange rate in effect at the time of the change.

 

Cancellations

You agree to abide by the terms and conditions imposed with respect to your hotel reservations and agree to pay any cancellation or change fees that may be incurred.

Arbitration

Any dispute concerning, relating or referring to these Terms and Conditions, your vacation package or any claim for damages due to injury or death which occurs during or in connection with your vacation package shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration according to the then existing rules of the American Arbitration Association in an arbitration conducted in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A.

Such proceedings will be governed by substantive Nevada law. The dispute will be resolved by a single arbitrator who must be a lawyer admitted

to practice in the courts of at least one state in the United States and have a minimum of fifteen years of experience in civil litigation. The arbitrator so described will be selected by the American Arbitration Association. Each party to the dispute shall have the right on a single occasion to veto the designation of an arbitrator so selected. There will be judicial review of the arbitrator's decision if either side can show plain error in the application of law or be able to show an abuse of discretion with respect to factual findings. The parties waive the right to rely on any state law or statute which creates an exception to enforcement of the requirement that disputes be resolved pursuant to arbitration in the manner set forth herein. Arbitration against PS must be commenced within one year following the date of tour completion. Neither PS nor any affiliate shall in any case be liable for other than compensatory damages, and you hereby waive any right to consequential, punitive or exemplary damages.
