TERMS, CONDITIONS AND WARRANTIES
Tax Recovery Charge
The tax charge on certain hotel transactions is a recovery of all applicable
transaction taxes (e.g. sales and use, occupancy, room tax, excise tax, value
added tax, etc) that WWTE pays to the vendors (e.g. hotels, etc.) in connection
with your travel arrangements.
WWTE is not the vendor collecting and remitting said tax to the applicable tax
authorities. The vendors bill all applicable taxes to WWTE and WWTE remits such
tax directly to the vendor. WWTE is not a co-vendor associated with the vendor
with whom we book or reserve our customer's travel arrangements.
Taxability and the appropriate tax rate vary greatly by location. WWTE actual
tax cost paid to the vendor may vary from the tax recovery charge, depending
upon the rates, taxability, etc. in effect at the time of the actual use of the
hotel, automobile, etc. by our customer.
WWTE does not incur the cost of sales tax from vendors located in Alaska,
Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon as these states do not impose a
sales tax. Also, certain jurisdictions impose a hotel occupancy tax or other
type of transaction tax upon the renting of a hotel room, an automobile, etc.
The type of tax charged by the vendor will vary by service and location.
Service Fee
These fees cover the costs incurred by WWTE in servicing your travel
reservation.
Travel Destinations
Although most travel, including travel to international destinations,
is completed without incident, travel to certain destinations may involve
greater risk than others. WWTE urges passengers to review travel prohibitions,
warnings, announcements and advisories issued by the Local Government of the
country you are traveling from prior to booking travel to international
destinations.
BY OFFERING FOR SALE TRAVEL TO PARTICULAR INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONS, WWTE DOES
NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT TRAVEL TO SUCH POINTS IS ADVISABLE OR WITHOUT
RISK, AND IS NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OR LOSSES THAT MAY RESULT FROM TRAVEL TO
SUCH DESTINATIONS
MODIFICATION OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
