17. Limitation of Refunds; Cancellations and Changes
All airlines impose cancellation and change penalties, up to 100% for many discount tickets, in addition to the collection of the additional fare, if any. All tour operators and cruise lines, and some hotels and car-rental agencies, impose cancellation and change penalties, too. Please view the applicable rules of the particular travel provider involved before you make your reservation. Airline tickets purchased through this Website are subject to the published conditions of carriage and rules of the applicable airline. Name changes to airline tickets are not permitted at any time. In the event of a total cancellation, airfares may be non-refundable. Should the airfare be non-refundable, the carrier may allow future travel for the same passenger within a 1-year time period. IT.COM reserves the right to charge an administrative fee for each airline ticket issued through this Website as the result of an original purchase or as a result of a change or cancellation. Your hotel reservation made through this Website may be changed or cancelled at any time prior to the hotel’s cancellation deadline, subject to prevailing IT.COM fees. If you do not cancel or change your reservation before the hotel’s cancellation deadline, you will be subject to a charge. See the hotel description and/or your reservation confirmation email for each hotel’s cancellation policy period and applicable fees. Room rates in a city are obtained through the Pegasus System and other reservation systems. Rates posted on this Website may not include all available and published room rates. IT.COM makes no guarantee or warranty that a hotel room will be available below or within the stated price range. All hotel pricing information available on this Website is subject to change without notice. Hotel reservations made directly with a hotel may only be cancelled or changed in accordance with the policies of that particular hotel. Unless a reservation is made directly with a hotel, date changes cannot be made to a confirmed hotel reservation. If you wish to add names, arrive earlier or extend your stay, you must contact the hotel directly. If your hotel allows a change to a reservation confirmed through this Website, additional room charges may be applicable and are at the discretion of the hotel and may be at the hotel’s prevailing rates at the time of your request. Cruise lines have reserved the right to change itineraries at any time. If travel insurance is not purchased, there will be a per-cabin cancellation fee charged plus any charges imposed by the cruise line for any cancelled reservation. Whenever you book a room through this website with the “Lowest Price” icon or other indicator that pre-payment is required, your credit card is charged for the full amount immediately. The full amount is the total cost of your reservation and includes the room rate, tax charges and our service fees. You agree that if a request for purchase of a hotel reservation is accepted, your credit card information will be forwarded to the hotel in order for the hotel to charge the entire amount of the stay, including standard city and sales taxes, to your credit card at the time the reservation is confirmed. Depending upon the city you select, a local tax or “hotel occupancy tax” may apply. These taxes will be added by your hotel and will be payable at check-out. When you check in, a photo ID and credit card will be required to secure any additional local hotel occupancy taxes and incidental charges (phone calls, room service, movie rentals, etc.) that you may incur during your stay.

PLEASE NOTE: ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC HOTEL SERVICE AND AIRLINE TICKET RESTRICTIONS FOR RESIDENTS OF WASHINGTON AND OREGON. In addition to the foregoing general information regarding hotel services and airline tickets, the following restrictions apply specifically to residents of the states of Washington and Oregon, as indicated:
Additional Specific Hotel Service Restrictions
For Washington Residents: If lodging or other services are canceled by a participating hotel, all sums paid to such hotel for services not performed will be refunded to the User within thirty days of receipt of the funds from the hotel with whom the services were arranged, or if the funds were not sent to the hotel, the funds shall be returned within fourteen days after cancellation to the User unless the User requests the hotel to apply the money to another travel product and/or date.
For Oregon Residents: Lodging and all other services are sold to you on a nonrefundable basis. If you cancel any service for any reason, sums paid by you for those services will not be refunded.
Additional Specific Airline Ticket Restrictions: New DOT Rules & Regulations: I understand that any travel I am purchasing which includes airfare (airline tickets, tours and cruises including air) are subject to supplemental price increases that may be imposed after the date of purchase. Post-purchase price increases may be applied due to additional costs imposed by a supplier or government. I acknowledge that I may be charged additional sums by InteleTravel.com and/or the supplier to offset increased fees, fuel surcharges, taxes, fluctuations in foreign exchange markets or any combination thereof. I hereby consent to any post-purchase price increases and authorize InteleTravel.com and/or the supplier to charge my credit card for such additional amounts. For transactions which include airfare, additional fees and restrictions may apply for baggage. Please visit the air carrier’s website for detailed baggage rules and fees.
For Washington Residents: If transportation or other services are canceled by a participating airline, all sums paid to such airline for services not performed will be refunded to the User within thirty days of receipt of the funds from the airline with whom the services were arranged, or if the funds were not sent to the airline, the funds shall be returned within fourteen days after cancellation to the User unless the User requests the airline or IT.COM, as applicable, to apply the money to another travel service or product and/or date.
For Oregon Residents: Transportation and all other services are sold to you on a nonrefundable basis. If any service is canceled by you for any reason, sums paid by you for those services will not be refunded.
Additional terms for passengers who purchase from within California: In addition to the foregoing general information regarding payments, cancellations and refunds, the following terms apply specifically to passengers who purchase from within California, as indicated:
Right to Prompt Refund in the Event of a Cancellation: Upon cancellation of the transportation or travel services, where the passenger is not at fault and has not canceled in violation of any terms and conditions previously clearly and conspicuously disclosed and agreed to by the passenger, all sums paid to the seller of travel for services not provided will be promptly paid to the passenger, unless the passenger advises the seller of travel in writing, after cancellation. This provision does not apply where the seller of travel has remitted the payment to another registered wholesale seller of travel or a carrier, without obtaining a refund, and where the wholesaler or provider defaults in providing the agreed-upon transportation or service. In this situation, the seller of travel must provide the passenger with a written statement accompanied by bank records establishing the disbursement of the payment, and if disbursed to a wholesale seller of travel, proof of current registration of that wholesaler.
California Travel Consumer Restitution Fund (TCRF): This Seller of Travel is not a participant in the California Travel Consumer Restitution Fund.
Purchase Money Protection: California law requires certain sellers of travel to have a trust account or bond. This business has a trust account.
18. Delays
Flight delays are very common today. If your flight is delayed for any reason, the airlines are not required by law to pay for your en route expenses, such as meals, hotels, taxis and phone calls.
19. Check your itinerary
As soon as you receive your booked itinerary, check it thoroughly to make sure it is correct as to dates, times, fares, and rates.
20. Reconfirmation
Schedule changes are quite common today. IT.COM urges you to re-check exact flight times prior to departure and prior to your return.
21. Package trips
If you book a trip, we must collect the tour operator’s or cruise line’s deposit when reservations are made. The amount of the deposit, the refund allowed, and the times for canceling vary according to the tour operator or cruise line. We do not endorse or recommend any particular tour operator or cruise line; IT.COM’s role is strictly limited to facilitating the booking. After you finish your booking, we will send you any agreement required by the travel services supplier, along with a request that you sign that agreement and return it to us.
22. Charter trips
If your package trip involves a charter flight or if your vacation involves an air-only charter flight, federal regulations require that you also sign the charter operator’s participant agreement, which will be mailed to you.
It is extremely important that you realize that, for charters:
- Departure times (both going and returning) can change at the last minute. Legally, these delays can be as much as 48 hours (approximately two days late).
- Your flight may be advertised as non-stop. However, the operator may legally change the routing and make intermediate stops at the last minute.
- The charter operator may 1egally substitute types of aircraft and even airline at the last minute. Charter aircraft are generally not as comfortable as scheduled aircraft.
- The charter operator generally takes no responsibility for baggage. It is possible to have luggage misplaced.
- Charter trips have very stiff cancellation penalties. No one plans a trip with the idea of canceling. However, sometimes that becomes necessary and you must understand what to expect or not to expect in the way of refunds.
- Usually, no frequent flier miles are accrued.
- Advance seat assignments are frequently not available.
23. Final payment
For all vacation trips, you must have made full payment before we release the tickets or documents.
24. Non-use of coupons
In the event that you purchase a ticket or tickets containing flight coupons that you may or may not use, we do not guarantee that the airline will honor the ticket or tickets, and you agree to indemnify us against airline claims for the difference between the full fare for your actual itinerary and the value of the ticket that you purchased.
25. Non-use of discounts or incentives
Frequent traveler points, upgrades, certificate vouchers and other discounts and incentives may not be applied towards rooms reserved through this Website.
26. Foreign currency and prices
Currency rates quoted on this Website are based on various publicly available sources. Rates are not verified as accurate, and actual rates may vary. If you select a country and purchase airfare not originating from that country, prices may not be accurate.
27. User submissions
Unless you give IT.COM prior written notice otherwise, if you transmit, post or otherwise submit information to this Website, other than your personal contact, billing and other information protected from disclosure by IT.COM’s Privacy Policy, you automatically grant IT.COM the royalty-free, non-exclusive right and license to use, copy, format, adapt and publicly display such information, in whole or in part, worldwide, and/or to incorporate the same in this Website and/or works in any form, media or technology, now known or developed in the future. IT.COM may, in its sole discretion, edit, refuse to post or remove any information you transmit, post or otherwise submit to this Website.
28. Miscellaneous provisions
If any provision of these terms and conditions shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, you agree that the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. You further agree that the provisions of these terms and conditions shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, you agree that if any provisions are deemed unenforceable, they shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make them enforceable. All headings to these terms and conditions are for your convenient reference only, are not to be deemed a part of these terms and conditions and shall not limit or in any other way affect their meaning or interpretation. All of these terms and conditions, as amended from time to time, shall survive their acceptance by you and their termination. These terms and conditions represent the entire understanding and agreement between you and IT.COM regarding their subject matter, and supersede any other prior agreements, understandings or representations regarding said subject matter.
