Bookings and Payments
Bookings by Travelers with Operators
The respective Operator only, and not PakistanTravelDiaries.com, is solely responsible to the respective Traveler for honoring any confirmed bookings and making available any Tours reserved through the Services. The Operator is also responsible to provide all information legally required to the Traveler. If you, as a Traveler, choose to enter into a transaction with an Operator for the booking of a Tour, you agree and understand that you will be required to enter into an agreement (including releases) with the Operator only and you agree to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with such Tour imposed by the Operator and will receive necessary information from the Operator only. You acknowledge and agree that PakistanTravelDiaries.com is no party to the agreement but only acts as the commercial agent to the Operator and PakistanTravelDiaries.com accepts no liability arising from or related to any of your agreements with the Operator unless PakistanTravelDiaries.com .com is legally obliged to do so or to fulfil certain information and security obligations towards the Traveler.
The Operators are requested to either confirm or reject a booking within the specified timeframe (which is generally within 24 to 48 hours of when the booking is requested, as determined by PakistanTravelDiaries.com in its sole discretion) or the requested booking will be automatically cancelled.
Once your confirmed booking transaction is complete (including payment) you will receive a confirmation email summarizing your confirmed booking.
Payments by Travelers
You agree to pay for the “Total Cost” (including the price of the tour and, where applicable, taxes, levies and duties) for any booking requested, in accordance with the pricing terms set forth in the applicable booking page, if such requested bookings are confirmed by the applicable Operator. The availability and price of a Tour can change any time until you have received a booking confirmation.
In case only the deposit is payable at the time of booking or booking confirmation, the balance of payment (i.e., the Total Cost minus the deposit) is due and will be payable as stated in the Operator’s terms according to the booking page.
PakistanTravelDiaries.com in its own discretion collects (through third party payment processors) the Total Cost (as one payment or deposit plus balance payments) for and on behalf of the Operator as its commercial agent. You hereby authorize the collection of such amounts by charging the credit/debit card provided as part of requesting the booking, or by one of the other payment methods as described on the Site or Application.
Bank and Credit Card Fees
Some banks and credit card companies impose fees for international transactions. If you are making a booking from outside of the United States on a US credit card, your bank may convert the payment amount to your local currency and charge you a conversion fee. This means the amount listed on your credit or bank card statement may be in your local currency and therefore a different figure than the figure shown on the billing summary page for a reservation booked on the Website. In addition, a foreign transaction fee may be assessed if the bank that issued your credit card is located outside of the United States. Booking international travel may be considered to be an international transaction by the bank or card company, since PakistanTravelDiaries.com may pass on your payment to an international travel supplier. The currency exchange rate and foreign transaction fee is determined solely by your bank on the day that they process the transaction. If you have any questions about these fees or the exchange rate applied to your booking, please contact your bank.
International Travel
By offering reservations for travel in particular international destinations, PakistanTravelDiaries.com .com does not represent or warrant that travel to such areas is advisable or without risk. PakistanTravelDiaries.com will not be liable for damages or losses that result from travel to such destinations.
You and any children traveling with you must be in possession of a machine-readable passport valid for 6 months after their trip return date along with applicable visas. It is your sole responsibility to secure and/or pay for any and all visas, reciprocity fees, affidavits, immunizations, etc. that are required to be permitted entry into each destination. In some countries you may be subject to entry (reciprocity) fees and/or departure taxes/exit fees which will be collected at the airports upon entry/departure by local government authorities. Please note that entry to any country may be refused even if the required information and travel documents are complete.
For up-to-date detailed information on travel documents and visas, entry/exit taxes and further information on entry and exit requirements please check with your local consular services. Obtaining and carrying these documents is your sole responsibility. PakistanTravelDiaries.com .com bears no responsibility for such information and will not be responsible for advising and/or obtaining required travel documentation for you, or for any delays, damages, and/or losses including missed portions of your vacation/holiday related to improper documentation or government decisions about entry.
PakistanTravelDiaries.com is committed to comply with sanctions imposed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). These sanctions change from time to time and impose restrictions on travel companies. PakistanTravelDiaries.com will not offer for sale journeys that include travel to any sanctioned country. PakistanTravelDiaries.com reserves the right to cancel any reservation made that is contrary to OFAC policy and/or sanctions and PakistanTravelDiaries.com will not directly or indirectly use any funds, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available funds to any person or entity, for the purpose of financing the activities of any company, country and/or persons currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.
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.
Traveler Cancellations and Refunds
If:
- the applicable Operator does not confirm the requested booking, or,
- as a Traveler, you cancel your requested booking before the requested booking is confirmed by an Operator, any amounts collected by PakistanTravelDiaries.com or its third-party payment processor will be refunded to the Traveler within a commercially reasonable time, depending on the selections the Traveler made via the Site and Application, and any pre-authorization of such Traveler’s credit/debit card will be released.
Once your booking is confirmed by the applicable Operator, the Total Cost of your Tour is subject to the cancellation and payment terms of the Operator. Please carefully read the fine print and important information in the Listing, the booking page and your reservation confirmation for policies as applied by the Operator. A cancellation must be done via your booking conversation page.
If you are advised that your booking is on an ‘on request’ basis (which is typically the case for tours booked shortly prior to departure), the Total Cost of your Tour is subject to the cancellation and payment terms of the Operator from the moment when you have submitted the booking request. When a tour is ‘on request’ the Operator needs several business days to ensure that all of the components of the tour package can be confirmed for you. This process may not be interrupted by a request to cancel. So, if the request comes back approved you will be charged for the full amount, and if, as a Traveler, you cancel such a booking, this does not entitle you to any refund. If the Operator cannot confirm your request, you will receive a full refund.
Operator Cancellations and Refund
If an Operator cancels a confirmed booking made via the Services, a refund of the paid amount for such booking will be made to the applicable Traveler within a commercially reasonable time of the cancellation by the Operator and the Traveler may receive an email or other communication from PakistanTravelDiaries.com .com containing non-binding suggestions for alternative Listings and other related information. If an Operator cancelled a confirmed booking and you, as a Traveler, have not received an email or other communication from PakistanTravelDiaries.com , please contact PakistanTravelDiaries.com .com at info@PakistanTravelDiaries.com .com.
