ten clauses, in plain words
Terms of Use
Ten clauses. Each is one sentence, with a note underneath saying what it means when something goes wrong.
The ten
- One. Who publishes thisTravelmonte LLC, registered in Ohio as a limited liability company, working from 20445 Emerald Parkway, Suite 350, Cleveland, OH 44135. Nobody else publishes any part of it
- Two. What this company isAn agent. It finds trips, reads the operator's terms, and places the booking. It carries nobody, houses nobody and guides nobody
- Three. Nothing here is for saleNo basket, no total, no confirmation screen. A figure on this site informs; it is not an offer you could accept by clicking
- Four. When a booking existsAt the moment an operator confirms one to you in writing, and not one moment earlier. Before that nobody owes anybody anything
- Five. Whose rules govern the tripThe operator's, attached in full to your proposal. Where this website and that proposal disagree, the proposal wins every time
- Six. What the odds on these pages areA description of what conditions have usually done, drawn from published records. They are not a forecast and not a promise, and no clause here turns them into one
- Seven. Who carries the weather riskYou do, as does every traveler in this trade. Where conditions cancel something, the operator has usually performed and nothing is owed. The page on cancellation terms sets that out in full
- Eight. What this company answers forThe accuracy of what it tells you, correcting it in writing when wrong, and relaying an operator's answer in the words it arrived in
- Nine. What you answer forBorder documents, your own fitness for the trip, names spelled as they appear on your travel document, and turning up at the times the paperwork states
- Ten. Which lawThe law of Ohio, and United States federal law wherever that law reaches first. Should any right of yours be one that no contract is permitted to strip away, nothing written above strips it away
The four questions a shop settles at the till
- Payment
- Impossible on these pages. No till exists and no method is stored; the operator invoices you on its own system
- Money back
- Also impossible here, since none arrived. Refunds belong to whoever you paid
- Returns
- The word has no application. No object ever travels from this office to you or back
- Delivery and shipping
- The same. Nothing is mailed, boxed or couriered from here, and your travel documents come out of the operator's own system as files
- Anything recurring
- None exists. No membership, no club and no subscription is sold from here
Absent by decision
- Clocks and counts of places left
- Nowhere, the offers board included
- Stars, scores and prizes
- Absent by choice. Inventing them takes an afternoon, which is precisely the objection
- A verdict on whether a place is safe
- Not ours to sell
- A registration or license number
- Nothing of the sort is printed, for the simple reason that none has been issued to this company. The day one is, it goes up here
- Beating a figure you found
- Not something done here
- A policy sold against the weather risk
- Not sold, not arranged and not recommended, and the pages with the worst odds are exactly where that refusal matters most
Companies other than this one
Somebody else's servers hold these pages. A fare search run by another company may one day sit on a subdomain here. Step across into a system belonging to someone else and you are under their terms and their data notice from the boundary; this document stops there. This paragraph is written before any such search exists, precisely so that turning one on later does not silently make the rest of this document untrue.
Revisions
A rewrite here always moves the stamp underneath it. Whatever you already agreed keeps running on the wording of the proposal that reached you, not on this.
