By using WeBookDirect as an online travel agency to make a booking you will enter into a contract with a local tour operator which will solely be responsible for providing the travel services which you choose, based on their separate terms and conditions. A “Local Tour Operator” may be a supplier of travel services itself, or it might be an organiser of travel services based in a local country and who sources accommodation, trips, tours, transport, etc. References to ‘travel services’ throughout these Terms of Use consist of any travel service provided to you (and any members of your party) by the Local Tour Operator or its sub-contractors, including, but not limited to accommodation, tours, trips, transport, etc.
YOUR LOCAL TOUR OPERATOR
WeBookDirect acts as agent for the Local Tour Operators and does not provide travel services itself. WeBookDirect’s role is to select Local Tour Operators for you to contract directly with, to provide a website and booking platform at www.webookdirect.com (the “Platform”) which allows you to access and book travel services provided by Local Tour Operators, to provide a forum for communication directly with a consultant and/or the Local Tour Operator, to provide a secure, easy way to pay such Local Tour Operators using credit or debit card, and to financially protect all payments made through the Platform.
FINANCIAL PROTECTION
WeBookDirect has taken out an insurance policy to protect you financially in the event of a Local Tour Operator featured on our Platform becoming insolvent. Under this policy, all, bookings made through our Platform with such Local Tour Operators would be financially protected. This Vantage insurance policy provide financial protection for any payments you make via the Platform only; our Vantage insurance policy will not provide you with cover for any accidents, injuries, losses etc which may occur on your travels. We therefore strongly advise you to take out suitable personal travel insurance providing cover for such occurrences for all members of your party and for the proper performance of travel services provided to you by the Local Tour Operators.
