that you are at least 18 years old and posses the legal authority

Use of Information
WCT reserves the right, and you authorize WCT and its affiliates,
to use and assign all information provided by you in any manner
consistent with WCT’s Privacy Policy. You may view WCT’s
Privacy Policy by clicking HERE.
Content
Some of the Content that refers to city attractions, things to
do, hotel accommodations, restaurants and other services is the
property of, and is supplied by, third parties that are not under
WCT’s control. WCT does not independently verify, and does
not guarantee, the accuracy of the information that we receive from
such third parties. All information, prices and availability are
subject to change without notice.
Links to Other Websites
The Booking Engine may contain hyperlinks to websites operated
by third parties. WCT does not control such websites and will not
be responsible for their content or for any breach of contract or
any intentional or negligent action on the part of such third parties,
which results in any loss, damage, delay or injury to you or your
companions. WCT is not responsible for the accuracy of opinions
express in such websites, and such websites are not investigated,
monitored or checked for accuracy or completeness by WCT. Inclusion
of any linked website on the Booking Engine does not imply or constitute
approval or endorsement of the linked website by WCT. If you decide
to leave the Booking Engine to access these third party sites, you
do so at your own risk. All rules, policies (including privacy policies)
and operating procedures of websites operated by third parties will
apply to you while on such sites. WCT is not responsible for information
provided by you to third parties.
Tax Recovery Charge
The tax charge on Hot Rate 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 WCT collects from
customers and pays to vendors (such as hotels, etc.) in connection
with your travel arrangements.
WCT is not the vendor collecting and remitting such tax to the
applicable tax authorities. The vendors bill WCT for applicable
taxes and WCT remits such amounts directly to the vendors. WCT is
not a co-vendor associated with the vendor with whom WCT books or
reserves travel arrangements.
Taxability and the appropriate tax rate vary greatly by location.
The actual amount of tax paid to vendors may vary from the tax recovery
charge, depending upon the rates, taxability or other factors in
effect at the time of the actual use of a given travel service by
a customer.
WCT 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 collected by
a vendor will vary by service and location.
Terms of Service - Hot Rate Hotel
Reservations Only
Credit cards for Hot Rate hotel reservations will be charged the
full amount for the reservation including all taxes and applicable
service fees at the time of booking. Reservations may be changed
or cancelled anytime within the appropriate hotel’s cancellations
policy period at a charge indicated on the applicable website. Upon
arrival and check in at a hotel, you are responsible for the entire
length of stay. No refunds or credits will be issued for any nights
reserved but not consumed. Cancellations made after the hotel cancel
policy period has lapsed or no shows will be charged according to
the hotel’s cancellation policy (although the cancellation
charge usually equals one night’s room rate plus tax, you
should look to the specific hotel’s policies for the exact
charges that you may incur). No contract will exist between you
and WCT (or its affiliates) until WCT has sent you an email with
a pre-payment voucher that you will present to the appropriate hotel
at the time of your check in.
Currency Converter
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 for the day
that currency was last updated. Neither WCT nor its affiliates warrant
or guarantee the accuracy of any such information. When using this
information for any financial purpose, WCT advises you to consult
a qualified professional to verify the accuracy of the currency
rates. WCT does not authorize the use of this information for any
purpose other than personal use and hereby prohibits, to the maximum
extent allowable the resale, redistribution, and use of this information
for commercial purposes.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold WCT and its affiliates
and any of WCT or its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees,
agents, successors and assigns, harmless from and against any liability,
claim, loss, expense, cause of action or demand, including without
limitation reasonable legal and accounting fees arising directly
or indirectly in connection with any breach by you of any term,
condition, representation, warranty or covenant contained herein
or otherwise resulting from your use of the Booking Engine.
Contract Information
No contract will exist as between you and WCT or any of its affiliates
for the sale of any product or service unless and until WCT accepts
your reservation by email confirming your reservation or purchase
and issues you a unique confirmation code. Acceptance will be deemed
complete and will be deemed to be effectively communicated to you
for all purposes at the time that WCT sends the email to you, whether
or not you receive the email.

data mentioned herein are not intended to represent any real individual,

are reserved.
