By using the Site you agree to these terms and conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these terms and conditions, you must not use the Site. We reserve the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time. All amended terms automatically take effect when these Terms & Conditions are updated.

Introduction

100% SAFE SHOPPING GUARANTEE

CheapOair servers use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), an encryption technology that works with Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Safari, Netscape, and AOL's browser, so that only CheapOair can read a buyer's personal information.

We guarantee that every purchase you make on the CheapOair website will be 100% safe. Although we never intend to have an incident of credit card fraud, if unauthorized charges are made to your credit card as a result of doing business with CheapOair, you will pay nothing.

Shopping online at CheapOair is statistically safer than using your credit card at a restaurant or department store. Technical experts point out that online purchases without human intervention are far safer than traditional credit card transactions because the information is immediately encrypted into a scrambled message that can only be decrypted by an authorized computer.

You will join millions of other customers who have safely shopped over the Internet. We're certain after successfully shopping online at CheapOair, you will be on your way to appreciating the convenience and security of shopping from home.

The Fair Credit Billing Act states that your credit card provider cannot make you pay in excess of $50.00 of fraudulent charges. If your credit card provider does have you pay any of the $50.00 it can charge, CheapOair will cover the expense, up to the full $50.00 if the unauthorized use of your credit card resulted through no fault of your own from purchases made on the CheapOair website while using CheapOair's secure server. If such an event does occur, you must notify your credit card provider.

General Disclaimer
CheapOair shall not be liable for failure of travel service suppliers, including but not limited to airlines, hotels, cruise lines, railroads, car rental agencies, tour operators and consolidators, vacation packages, activities suppliers, Traveler assist service provider and insurance providers to perform the services offered by such suppliers. CheapOair, in providing travel management services, does not guarantee or insure the services to be provided by any supplier, the financial position of such suppliers or the reimbursement to you from any loss experienced as a result of the financial condition of such supplier. In the event that a supplier defaults prior to providing the service to you for which payment has been made, the sole recourse for refund shall be with the defaulting supplier, from insurance covering such defaults if any or from other responsible third party unless such was caused by CheapOair. In those situations in which a supplier defaults prior to providing services you may pursue any recourse against the supplier for refund, which may be permitted by law or statute.

Except as expressly stated herein, CheapOair assumes no responsibility for actions relating to travel services beyond the control of CheapOair or its employees. CheapOair is not responsible or liable for any act, error, omission, injury, loss, accident, damage, delay, nonperformance, irregularity, or any consequence thereof, which may be occasioned through neglect, or default or any other act or inaction of any supplier of Travel products. CheapOair shall not be liable for any fluctuation in price or change in schedule or equipment or accommodations for any travel service, which occurs subsequent to payment for such service.

CheapOair acts as a service bureau that provides value added service to retail travel agents and consumers. CheapOair has no control over and assumes no liability for the actions of the suppliers from whom it obtains Travel products.

Once tickets have been issued there may be a penalty involved for refunds. We do not have control over printed prices on the tickets, although some tickets may have BT (Bulk fare) printed on them, some may have a specific value on them, which may be different (lower or higher) than the fare collected.

Discounts offered may vary depending on a number of factors including Airlines utilized, class of service, destination, time of year (low, mid or high season), advance notice provided, minimum stay requirements fulfilled and flight load.

CheapOair does not guarantee, endorse, validate or promote other advertiser products and services that are advertised on this web Site.

Price Match Promise

When booking with CheapOair.ca, we want you to be confident that you have found a great deal.

That’s why, if you see a lower price (including taxes and fees) for the same flight itinerary offered and available for booking on a Major OTA Competitor’s site within twenty-four (24) hours of booking, we will match that lower price by refunding the difference in price, or if you prefer, we will cancel your booking with us for a full refund.

That’s our Price Match Promise (“PMP”).

Questions? Here are some answers:

• What does “the same itinerary” mean?

  The same itinerary means that each and every element of each offer matches; airline(s), flight number(s), itinerary, date(s), number of customers and seat type.

• What does “offered and available for booking” mean?

  It means that the itinerary you found is actually live on a Major OTA Competitor’s site and available to be booked by the general public at the time you contact us, as determined by our customer service representatives.

• What is a “Major OTA Competitor”?

  For purposes of the PMP, it means the Canadian English-language websites of Expedia.ca, flightnetwork.com and Flighthub.com

• How do I notify you that I want to invoke the PMP?

  To invoke the PMP, all you need to do is contact us at pmp@cheapoair.ca with your CheapOair.ca booking number and all of the key details of the lower priced itinerary (airline(s), flight(s), itinerary, date(s), number of customers and seat type), along with documentation such as the exact URL or screen shots that will enable our customer service representatives to verify that such itinerary satisfies the terms and conditions of the PMP. Customer service must be able to locate the lower fare from the information you provide; we reserve the right to deny any claims that cannot be reasonably verified, or for which you have provided incomplete information. Once our representative has verified that the PMP applies, you will be given the choice to either keep your itinerary with a refund of the difference in total price, or cancel your booking with us for a full refund.

• Are there exceptions that apply to the PMP?

  The PMP does not apply to fares offered on membership program websites, corporate discounts or rates; group, charter, rewards program, incentive, meeting, convention, or consolidator fares; or fares available only by using a coupon or other promotion not offered to the general public. Military, student, government, tour operator, bulk, vacation package or "Web Only" fares are excluded. The PMP does not apply to “opaque” tickets (where the airline booking details are unknown until after purchase) or tickets issued under a “bidding” or “auction” model. Fare errors are also excluded.

All airline tickets are fully non-refundable. In certain cases where the Airline may allow cancellations, a credit may be available for future ticket purchase with applicable penalty and a fare difference if any, with travel valid on the same airline. Usually the credit is valid with time constraints and a specific expiration date and should be discussed with the customer service agent. All such bookings where the cancellation may be permitted must be cancelled prior to the scheduled departure time of the first flight segment by calling our customer service agent. We do not guarantee any cancellation. A cancellation fee of CAD 50 per person per ticket must be paid to us at the time of canceling the booking. We retain this fee. The credit will be held for a limited time period, please ask the customer service agent for the specific date by when you must use this credit or you will lose the credit amount. When you are ready to make the new booking, you will have to pay fare difference (if any), applicable airline penalties for that fare and CheapOair exchange fees. All such changes are governed by the airlines' rules and regulations, CheapOair does not provide any representations or guarantees on changes or fees. If you are cancelling the booking and applying for a refund then please read our Refunds Policy. Please read more about Change policy if you wish to exchange the tickets for new dates or routing.

Domestic Travel = US and CANADA

No additional representation is made for our exchange fees except that an agent will assist you in locating your desired new flights and attempt to re-book the new flights based on availability and other factors.

Cancel and Refund

All of our Airline tickets, hotels, pre-paid Car rentals, vacation packages and our service fees are NON-REFUNDABLE. Trip protection insurance is refundable within 10 days of purchase if travel has not commenced and you have called our customer service center to cancel. All cancellations must be done over the phone only.

• If you have applied for a cancellation and refund with us and if the fare rules provide for cancellation and refunds
• If you are not a "no show" (most "no show" bookings are in-eligible for any waiver from suppliers for refund processing)
• If we are able to secure waivers from suppliers to process this cancellation and refund

We are still unable to provide a specific time line it may take for this refund to be processed. All refund requests are processed in a sequential format. Once you have provided our customer service agent with your cancellation request, we will then send you an email notification that your request has been received. This notification does not automatically qualify you for a refund. This only provides you with an acknowledgement of your request and provides you with a tracking number. Upon receipt of your request we will work with the suppliers' such as airlines, hotels, car-rental companies to generate a waiver based on airline and other supplier rules and we will then notify you of the supplier decision. Please note that we are dependent on the suppliers for receiving the refunds. Once the refund has been approved by the supplier it may take additional time for this to appear on your credit card statement. Generally, all suppliers will charge a penalty for refund. This entire process may take 60-90 days from receipt of your request to receiving credit on your statement. Apart from the airlines and other suppliers refund penalties, CheapOair will charge a fee for processing this refund ranging from CAD 50.00 – CAD 300.00 (CAD Fifty to CAD Three Hundred). All refund fees are charged on per-passenger, per-ticket basis. These fees will only be assessed if a refund has been authorized by the supplier or a waiver has been received and when the airline/supplier rules permit such refunds. If such refund is not processed by the supplier, we will refund you our fees that may have been charged to you for such processing.

Cancellation Password – For you security, when requesting Cheapoair to cancel a booking on your behalf, our agents will send you an email with a unique Cancellation Password to the e-mail you entered when the booking was created.
Please communicate the Cancellation Password to our agents when asked, in order to complete your cancellation request. Depending on your booking, you may complete your cancellation via the link provided in the email we will send in response to your request.

If you cannot access your email and/or communicate your Cancellation Password, we may not be able to process your request for cancellation.

The Cancellation Password will expire within 3 hours of issuance. If your Cancellation Password expired before we were able to process your request please call us back to obtain a new Cancellation Password.

We will notify you of any fare changes and we do not assume any responsibility - financial or otherwise for any such fare changes. We will notify you of the new fare and at that point you may either cancel or still purchase the product at the new cost.

Payment Acceptance Policy

We accept credit cards and debit cards issued in US, Canada and several other countries as listed in the billings section. We also accept AE/AP billing addresses.

Please note, airfares are guaranteed only upon ticketing, and not upon submission of payment. If your credit card payment is not processed for any reason, we will notify you within 24 hours.

We provide a 100% Safe and Secure Credit card transaction guarantee. Please view our 100% Safe Purchase Guarantee on Credit Card usage on our site.

Please note, all hotel, car rental and tour/activity bookings are only confirmed upon delivery of complete confirmation details to the email you provided with your reservation. In some cases, pre-payment may be required to receive confirmation.

In order to provide you further safety, when certain transactions are determined to be high risk by our systems, we will not process such transactions unless our credit card verification team has determined that it's safe to process them. In order to establish validity of such transactions, we may contact you or your bank as well as ask the card holder to fill out our credit card authorization form.

Ticket Delivery

Most tickets are electronic (e-tickets), however with certain itineraries where an e-ticket is not available a paper ticket will be issued. Please check the shipping charges before confirming the booking. If an e-ticket could not be issued for a particular reservation or if a delivery was being made of another product or service, CheapOair will send the paper ticket, product or service through a secure mode of delivery (a reputed carrier company) and the applicable shipping charges will be debited to the credit holder's account as per rates published on the Site. These shipping charges are displayed before you make the booking and you may select not to purchase the tickets to avoid shipping charges. CheapOair does not assume any responsibility for the fault of the delivery company. We will attempt to redeliver but do not provide any guarantees for redelivery on time. If you provide an incorrect address, then you may have to pay excess fees to the delivery company for alteration of the address. You will be billed to the credit card used for payment. If an e-ticket is generated the ticket information will be available on the Site.

Credit Card / Debit Card Payment Terms

1. All credit cards must have verifiable US, Canadian or other countries' billing address. Please see list of countries where credit cards are accepted, in payment drop down in check out page.
2. All bookings and fares are not guaranteed until ticketed. For hotels, car rentals, vacation packages, the bookings are not guaranteed unless you receive a confirmation number by email.
3. When you submit your credit or debit card for a purchase, we request an authorization for the amount of your anticipated transaction (placing a temporary "hold" on the funds). If for some reason we are unable to confirm your booking, you will not be charged and we will request that such hold be released by your credit or debit card bank; until then, funds subject to the hold will not be available to you for other purposes.
4. If your credit card is declined for any reason, we will notify you within 24 hours, simply submitting the credit card does not automatically guarantee ticketing.
5. CheapOair bears no responsibility in the event your credit or debit card is not approved or charged. There can be many reasons why your credit or debit card may not have been approved or charged. Examples of these maybe: Airline could not confirm the booking, fare increased since payment information was submitted and prior to ticketing or sufficient funds not available on the credit card. In such instances where the fare may have increased, you will be provided with alternate options and you have the right to cancel the booking at no cost to you. When the booking is ticketed at the cost originally quoted to you the ticket becomes non-refundable and non-cancellable.
6. CheapOair uses stringent safety measures for credit card payment processing. Fraudulent transactions, if any, are reported to airport security, airlines and other federal and state law enforcement.
7. You agree to be liable for any and all credit card payments and you agree not to dispute charges after the purchase has been made and your tickets and/or other products have been delivered by email confirmation or have been shipped to you. You agree to reimburse CheapOair in cases of charge back or credit card disputes where you have genuinely purchased a service on our website.
8. Most credit card transactions over the phone to our Customer Service Department are recorded and are available as evidence in case of any dispute.
9. Online credit card transactions are authorized at the time a user or anyone acting on their behalf accepts these terms and conditions and continues with the purchase.
10. In order to provide you further safety, when certain transactions are determined to be high risk by our systems, we will not process such transactions unless our credit card verification team has determined that it's safe to process them. In order to establish validity of such transactions, we may contact you or your bank as well as ask the card holder to fill out our credit card authorization form.

Dispute Resolution

RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES
Customer satisfaction is the foundation of our success. That’s why, if a dispute arises between us, our goal is to resolving the dispute quickly in a fair and cost-effective way. Accordingly, we strongly encourage you, before taking any other action, to reach out to us by contacting customer service at feedback@cheapoair.ca or 1-800-525-0400 so that we have an opportunity to try to address your concerns.

Otherwise, you and we agree that we will resolve any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of the Site, these Terms & Conditions, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or our relationship in connection with the Site or these Terms & Conditions (each, a "Claim"), in accordance with one of the subsections below or as otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing.

GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION
These Terms & Conditions and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ontario, Canada, exclusive of conflict or choice of law rules. You agree that unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing or as described in the Mandatory Arbitration provision below, any Claims shall be brought in a court located in Toronto, Canada. Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, any Claim must be brought within two (2) years from the date on which such Claim arose or accrued.

MANDATORY ARBITRATION
Any Claims shall be resolved via binding arbitration initiated through JAMS; except that you may assert Claims on an individual basis in a small claims court located in Toronto, Ontario, if such claims qualify under the rules of the small claims court. The arbitration will be governed by the JAMS International Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the "JAMS Rules"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by JAMS. The JAMS Rules are available online at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 1-800-352-5267 or 1-416-861-1084. If you initiate arbitration against us and the total amount in controversy is C$100,000 or less, the only fee you shall be required to pay is C$250 (which is less than the current standard JAMS filing fee); all other costs will be borne by the Company. However, in the event that the arbitrator determines that the Claims were frivolous, the arbitrator may (to the extent permitted by applicable law) award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration.

Notwithstanding the provision above with respect to applicable substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to these Terms & Conditions shall be governed by the Arbitration Act, 1991, S.O. 1991, c. 17 (Ontario). JAMS and the parties must comply with the following rules: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in Toronto, Canada who is approved by or otherwise affiliated with JAMS; except that if the total amount in controversy is more than C$100,000, the defendant may request a panel of three arbitrators; (b) the party initiating the arbitration shall choose how the form in which they would like the arbitration to be conducted: via telephone, online, solely based on written submissions, or at an in-person hearing; (c) notwithstanding the foregoing, if either party requests an in-person hearing (i) the arbitrator shall decide whether a hearing is necessary or whether the arbitration should proceed via telephone, online or solely based on written submissions, (ii) if the arbitrator deems that a hearing is necessary, the hearing shall occur at a mutually agreed upon location, or, if the parties are unable to agree on a location, at a location that is selected by the arbitrator and is reasonably convenient to you, and (iii) either party may elect to participate in an in-person hearing by phone, unless the arbitrator decides otherwise; (d) the arbitrator may not award any (i) incidental, indirect or consequential damages, including damages for lost profits, or (ii) punitive or exemplary damages, except where permitted by statute, and the parties waive any right to recover any such damages described in subparagraphs (d)(i) and (d)(ii); (e) the arbitrator may award injunctive or declaratory relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim; and (f) unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

The arbitrator may not decide issues relating to arbitrability and the scope or enforceability of this Mandatory Arbitration provision, which shall be only for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide. If subparagraph (f) above is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Mandatory Arbitration provision shall be null and void. Judgment on the award issued by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This Mandatory Arbitration provision shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THE CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION.

IMPROPERLY FILED CLAIMS
All Claims you bring against us must be resolved in accordance with this "Resolution of Disputes" section. All Claims filed or brought not in accordance with to this "Resolution of Disputes" section shall be considered improperly filed and void. Should you file a Claim not in accordance with this "Resolution of Disputes" section, we may recover from you, to the extent permitted by applicable law, our attorneys' fees and costs up to UK£1,000, provided that we have notified you in writing of the improperly filed Claim, and you have failed to promptly withdraw the Claim.
