Inc. and is not capable of acceptance by you. Any booking made or order placed by
you shall be deemed to be an offer made by you to book the relevant travel arrangements
subject to this Agreement. You hereby waive
any rights to challenge the validity or enforceability of the contracts entered
into on the Website on the grounds that it was made in electronic form instead of

and availability of travel services), as well as the infrastructure used to provide
such content and information, is proprietary to us or our suppliers and providers.
Accordingly, as a condition of using this Website, you agree not to use this Website,

for travel or service reservations booked through this Website, you agree not to

SUPPLIER RULES AND RESTRICTIONS
Additional terms and
conditions will apply to your booking and purchase of travel-related goods and services.
Please read such additional terms and conditions carefully.In particular, if you
have purchased an airfare, please ensure you read the full terms and conditions
of carriage issued by the Supplier, which can be found on the Supplier's website.You
agree to abide by the terms and conditions imposed by any supplier with whom you
elect to deal including, but not limited to, terms and conditions relating to the
payment of all amounts when due, and compliance with the relevant supplier's rules
and restrictions regarding availability and use of goods or services.We reserve
the right to cancel your booking if full payment is not received in a timely fashion.
Some hotel suppliers may require you to present a credit card or cash deposit upon
check-in to cover any additional expenses that may be incurred during your stay.
You are responsible for the payment of any additional expenses and any deposit taken
or amounts charged to your credit card by the relevant hotel are unrelated to any
payment made through the Website for your hotel booking.
Expedia is not liable for any costs incurred due to relocation.
You acknowledge that some third-party providers offering certain services and/or
activities may require you to sign their liability waiver prior to participating
in the service and/or activity they offer.
You understand that any violation of any such supplier's rules and restrictions
may result in cancellation of your booking(s), in your being denied access to the
applicable travel product or services, in your forfeiting any monies paid for such
booking(s), and/or in our debiting your account for any costs we incur as a result
of such violation.
Expedia may offer Customers the opportunity to book a reservation for a combination
of two one-way tickets instead of a roundtrip ticket. Combined one-way tickets may
provide a greater choice of flights, are often cheaper and can be combined on the
same airline or on different airlines. Unlike roundtrip tickets, each one-way ticket
is subject to its own rules, restrictions, and fees. If one of these flights is
affected by an airline change (e.g. cancellation or rescheduling) that causes a
Customer to make changes to the other flight, the Customer will be responsible for
any fees incurred for making changes to the unaffected flight.

or facility such as the booking engine or call centre, you agree and consent to

Any photos you submit must be:
FREQUENT FLYERS / TRAVELLER PROGRAM
If you are a member of an airline's or hotel's frequent travel or other reward or
benefit scheme, please ensure that you have entered your correct program number
in the special section featured in the booking engine at the time of your booking.
Neither Expedia Inc. nor any of the other Expedia Companies accept any responsibility
if the relevant airline/hotel does not accept or does not register your booking
for their program and you cannot earn points/miles. You are advised to retain copies
of your boarding pass and any other proof of travel/purchase.
FARES & PRICES
Subject to the Note
below, you acknowledge and agree that your credit card will be charged by the Expedia
Companies, as applicable, or the supplier(s) with which your booking is made for
the total booking price of the travel services in full at the time of the booking,
which includes the price displayed on the Website, plus tax recovery charges, and
service fees.
Airfare is only guaranteed once the purchase has been completed and the tickets
have been issued. Airlines and other travel suppliers may change their prices without
notice.
Note: In the event that
you book accommodation (with the exception of prepaid hotel accommodation as set
out below), you acknowledge and agree that all charges, taxes and other costs relating
to your booking are payable by you to the accommodation provider at the time requested
by the accommodation provider (usually upon check-in or check-out from the accommodation).
TAX RECOVERY CHARGE
You acknowledge that,
in relation to prepaid hotel reservations, neither Expedia Inc., nor the Expedia
Companies collect taxes from you for remittance by us to applicable taxing authorities.
The tax recovery charge included in the booking amount for travel services booked
through the Website is a recovery of the estimated transaction taxes (e.g. sales
and use, occupancy, room tax, excise tax, value added tax, goods and services tax,
etc.) that the Expedia Companies pay to the relevant suppliers (e.g., hotels, etc.)
in connection with your booking(s). The relevant supplier(s) invoice the Expedia
Companies, and not you, for certain charges, including such tax amounts. It is the
responsibility of the relevant suppliers to then remit applicable taxes to the applicable
taxing authorities. Neither Expedia Inc. nor the Expedia Companies act as a co-vendor
with any supplier.
PREPAID HOTEL RESERVATIONS
The Expedia Companies
pre-negotiate certain room rates with hotel suppliers to facilitate bookings. These
are known as "Expedia Special Rate" hotels. The total amount displayed
on the Website for Expedia Special Rate hotels includes the pre-negotiated room
rate, any tax recovery charges, and any applicable facilitation fees. The amount
of any applicable facilitation fee is retained by the relevant Expedia Companies
as compensation for providing this service and varies for each booking, depending
upon the hotel selected. If you choose to book accommodation at an Expedia Special
Rate Hotel, you authorize Travel Partner Exchange, Travelscape, LLC, or another
member of the Expedia Companies doing business as Expedia to charge your credit
card for the total booking price at the time you make your booking. Upon submitting
your booking request, you authorize the Expedia Companies to facilitate the relevant
hotel booking on your behalf, including making payment arrangements with relevant
hotel suppliers.
You may cancel or
change your prepaid hotel booking, but you will be charged any applicable cancellation
or change fee indicated in the rules and restrictions for the hotel booking (if
any). If you wish to cancel or change your booking but do not notify us within the
cancellation policy period applicable to the relevant hotel (which varies by hotel),
you will be subject to a charge equal to the applicable nightly rates, tax recovery
charges and service fees. In the event you do not show for the first night of the
booking and plan to check-in for subsequent nights in your booking, you must confirm
the booking changes with us no later than the date of the first night of the booking
to prevent cancellation of your booking.
You are responsible
for any cancellation or change fees that you incur. In limited cases, some hotels
do not permit changes to or cancellations of bookings after they are made, as indicated
in the rules and restrictions for the hotel booking. You agree to abide by the Terms
of Use imposed with respect to your prepaid hotel bookings.
You may not book reservations
for more than 8 rooms online for the same hotel/stay dates. If we determine that
you have booked reservations for more than 8 rooms in total in separate reservations,
we may cancel your reservations, and charge you a cancellation fee, if applicable.
If you paid a non-refundable deposit, your deposit will be forfeited. If you wish
to book reservations for 9 or more rooms, you must contact Expedia’s group travel
specialists by phone or by filling out the group travel form online. One of our
group travel specialists will research your request and contact you to complete
your reservation. You may be asked to sign a written contract and/or pay a nonrefundable
deposit.
PAY NOW OR PAY LATER
With certain hotels, you may be presented with the option to pay online now or pay
later at the hotel. If you select the “Pay Online Now” option, Expedia will charge
the amount shown to your credit card immediately. If you select “Pay Later at the
Hotel”, the hotel will charge your credit card in the local currency at the time
of your stay. Tax rates and foreign exchange rates could change in the time between
booking and stay. Your credit card provider may also charge a foreign currency conversion
fee. Expedia coupons may only be applied to "Pay Online Now" bookings.
BOOKING, CANCELLATION AND AMENDMENT CHARGES
If you want to change any details of your itinerary (such as changing to a different
hotel or changing your departure date or airport), we will do our best to help but
cannot guarantee that changes will be permitted by the relevant supplier(s). You
should call our Service Centre on 0800 998 799. The price of your new arrangements
will be based on the prices that apply on the day you ask for the change and may
include additional fees or charges that are charged by the supplier in connection
with the change or cancellation. These prices may not be the same as when you booked
the products or services.
An Expedia change fee of $50 will be applied for amendments to all economy standalone
bookings (for international and domestic airfare bookings), provided changes are
permitted. This is in addition to any fees or fare difference charged by the relevant
airline(s).
FLIGHT SPECIFIC ADVICE
We strongly recommend (particularly if you are flying economy class), that you check
in early if you have particular seat requests. We have no control over the allocation
of seats, even if pre-booked with the airline, and can make no guarantee that specific
seats will be available on departure.
Certain flight routes may be used on special fares which offer the best price, which
do not necessarily take the most direct route. Stops may be made en-route for re-fuelling
or to let passengers on and/or off. Details of any stops will be given during your
booking process and are clearly identified both on the Website and on your itinerary
which will be sent to when you confirm your booking.
HEALTH AND TRAVEL INSURANCE
It is the responsibility of all travellers to ensure they comply with all health
requirements associated with their travel including, without limitation, any requirements
relating to flying while pregnant and taking prescription and non-prescription medication
into other countries. It is recommended that all travellers obtain travel insurance
against loss, damage, illness, injury or other unexpected circumstances.
SPECIAL DEALS
From time to time,
special deals or vouchers may be displayed on this Website. Such special deals and
vouchers are available for a limited time only. You must check with us as to whether
a special displayed on the Website is still available.
Additional terms and
conditions may apply to special deals or the use of vouchers. You must check the
Website or the third party provider of the special deal to determine whether any
particular terms and conditions apply.
PASSPORTS, VISAS AND TRAVEL
DOCUMENTATION
It is the responsibility
of the traveller to ensure that he or she:
As there may be delays
at the airport, you are advised to arrive at the airport within a reasonable period
of time before your flight. We are not responsible for any delays you may experience.
Passports are required
for all travellers departing New Zealand, and for international travel generally.
Many countries require that foreign nationals entering hold a passport that is valid
for a minimum period after you enter that country, typically 6 months.
When purchasing air
travel, the name on the passport must match the name on the ticket, otherwise you
may not be able to travel and insurance may be invalid. If, after purchasing products
or services but before traveling, any member of your party changes their name you
must notify the relevant carrier or us immediately so that the necessary changes
can be made to your documentation.
It is the responsibility
of the traveller to obtain information and advice on the visa requirements of the
destinations you propose to visit. New Zealand citizens should contact the nearest
embassy, high commission or consulate of the country you intend to visit well in
advance of travel. Requirements may change and you should check for up to date information
before booking and departure. We urge customers to review travel prohibitions, warnings,
announcements and advisories issued by the relevant governments prior to booking
travel to international destinations.
The above information
and any links are provided in good faith but should be treated as a guide only.
Passport and visa regulations can change and it is your responsibility to ensure
that you possess the relevant travel documents before you travel. It can often take
some time to obtain a passport and/or visa, so you are advised to apply in plenty
of time. We accept no responsibility in any regard in relation thereto including,
without limitation, for customers who do not possess the correct travel documents.
The New Zealand Ministry
of Foreign Affairs & Trade or any of its successors may be able to provide some
assistance in relation to the passport and visa requirements for your destination.
EXPEDIA SECRET SAVER BOOKINGS
When available, Expedia
Inc.’s subsidiary, Hotwire, Inc., may offer additional, discounted hotel booking
options on the Website. These hotels, called Expedia Secret Saver hotels, are different
from other hotels offered on the Website in several important ways. The name and
exact address of the hotel are not shown until after payment has been made for the
booking. All bookings are final and cannot be changed, refunded, exchanged, cancelled,
or transferred to another party. Your credit card will be charged for the amount
shown even if you do not use the booking. Room type will be determined by the hotel
based on the number of guests provided at time of booking. All bookings are booked
for stays in non-smoking rooms (subject to availability). Hotel room assignments
are determined at check-in and upgrades are not available. The maximum number of
Expedia Secret Saver rooms that can be booked at one time is six. All Expedia Secret
Saver rooms will be booked under the same name, and the guest under whose name the
booking is made must be present at check-in. Expedia Secret Saver hotels are not
eligible for hotel reward or club programs. Upon check-in, guests must present a
valid ID and credit card in their name (the amount of available credit required
will vary by hotel). Debit cards may not be accepted.
TRAVEL DESTINATIONS
Although most travel,
including travel to international destinations, is completed without incident, travel
to certain destinations may involve greater risk than others. Travellers should
review any travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements and relevant government
advisories prior to booking travel to international destinations. Information on
conditions in various countries and the level of risk associated with travel to
particular international destinations can be found at
http://www.safetravel.govt.nz/ as provided by the New Zealand Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and Trade.
Health: Recommended inoculations for travel may change and you should consult your
doctor for current recommendations before you depart. It is your responsibility
to ensure that you meet all health entry requirements, obtain the recommended inoculations,
take all recommended medication, and follow all medical advice in relation to your
trip.
By offering reservations for travel products to particular international destinations,
neither Expedia Inc. nor the Expedia Companies 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.
If you require special meals or other requirements including, without limitation,
wheelchair access, it is your responsibility to check with the relevant supplier
that it is able to satisfy such requests. Expedia Inc. will not be responsible for
the failure of any supplier to satisfy any special request.

CURRENCY CONVERTER
Because in certain
instances we receive the price from our suppliers in a foreign currency, the price
displayed in search results may vary by a nominal amount from the price displayed
at checkout due to the effect of foreign currency conversion. This amount will not
exceed 10 New Zealand cents. The actual amount charged to your credit card is the
amount displayed at checkout.
If a currency convertor is available on the Website, the following terms and conditions
apply: Currency rates are based on various publicly available sources and should
be used as guidelines only. Rates are not verified as accurate, and actual rates
may vary. Currency quotes are not updated every day. Check the date on the currency
converter feature for the day that currency was last updated. The information supplied
by this application is believed to be accurate, but the Expedia Companies and/or
our respective suppliers do not warrant or guarantee such accuracy. When using this
information for any financial purpose, we advise you to consult a qualified professional
to verify the accuracy of the currency rates. We do not authorise the use of this
information for any purpose other than your personal use and you are expressly prohibited
from the resale, redistribution, and use of this information for commercial purposes.
PAYMENT AND FEES
In the event your
payment is taken at the time of booking, the company taking that payment and charging
your credit card will be Travel Partner Exchange or another member of the Expedia
Companies doing business as Expedia, who takes such payment on behalf of the company
providing the travel service or the travel service provider directly.
Many banks and card companies charge their account holders a transaction fee when
the card issuer and the "merchant location" (as defined by the card brand
(e.g. Visa, MasterCard, American Express) are in different countries. The currency
exchange rate, if applicable, and any transaction fee are determined solely by the
bank or other agency processing the transaction. These fees may be applied by the
card issuer as a charge to the cardholders account. This means the amount listed
on your credit or debit card statement may be a different figure than the figure
shown on the billing summary page for a booking made on the Website. If you have
any questions about these fees or any exchange rate applied to your booking, please
contact your bank.
