SUPPLIER RULES AND RESTRICTIONS
Additional terms and conditions will apply to your reservation and purchase of travel-related goods and services that you select. Please read these additional terms and conditions carefully. In particular, if you have purchased an airfare, please ensure you read the full terms and conditions of carriage issued by the Supplier, which can be found on the Supplier's Terms and conditions on the www.vacationshut.com website. You agree to abide by the terms and conditions of purchase imposed by any supplier with whom you elect to deal, including, but not limited to, payment of all amounts when due and compliance with the supplier's rules and restrictions regarding availability and use of fares, products, or services. Airfare is only guaranteed once the purchase has been completed and the tickets have been issued. Airlines and other travel suppliers may change their prices without notice. We reserve the right to cancel your booking if full payment is not received in a timely manner.
www.vacationshut.com may offer Customers the opportunity to book a reservation for a combination of two one-way tickets instead of a roundtrip ticket. Combined one-way tickets may provide a greater choice of flights, are often cheaper, and can be combined on the same airline or on different airlines. Unlike roundtrip tickets, each one-way ticket is subject to its own rules, restrictions, and fees. If one of these flights is affected by an airline change (e.g. cancellation or rescheduling) that causes a Customer to make changes to the other flight, the Customer will be responsible for any fees incurred for making changes to the unaffected flight.
For certain low-cost carriers, the price of your flight has been converted from a different currency for convenience purposes to provide you with an estimate of the amount of the purchase in your local currency. As a result, when you book, the amount charged to your credit card by the airline may be slightly different due to currency fluctuations. Your statement may also include an applicable fee from your card issuer to process the transaction plus any applicable taxes for international purchases.
Federal law forbids the carriage of hazardous materials aboard aircraft in your luggage or on your person. A violation can result in five years imprisonment and penalties of $250,000 or more (49 U.S.C. 5124). Hazardous materials include explosives, compressed gases, flammable liquids and solids, oxidizers, poisons, corrosives, and radioactive materials. Examples: Paints, lighter fluid, fireworks, tear gases, oxygen bottles, and radio-pharmaceuticals. There are special exceptions for small quantities (up to 70 ounces total) of medicinal and toilet articles carried in your luggage and certain smoking materials carried on your person.
You acknowledge that some third-party providers offering certain services and/or activities may require you to sign their liability waiver prior to participating in the service and/or activity they offer. You understand that any violation of any such supplier's rules and restrictions may result in cancellation of your reservation(s), in your being denied access to the applicable travel product or services, in your forfeiting any monies paid for such reservation(s), and/or in our debiting your account for any costs we incur as a result of such violation.
PRIVACY POLICY
www.vacationshut.com believes in protecting your privacy. Please refer to our privacy policy to review our current Privacy Policy, which also governs your use of the Website and, as stated above, is incorporated by reference, to understand our practices
PREPAID HOTEL RESERVATIONS
You acknowledge that www.vacationshut.com pre-negotiate certain room rates with hotel suppliers to facilitate the booking of reservations and provides services to facilitate such booking of reservations for consideration (the "facilitation fee"). The room rate displayed on the Website is a combination of the pre-negotiated room rate for rooms reserved on your behalf by www.vacationshut.com and the facilitation fee retained by www.vacationshut.com for their services. You authorize www.vacationshut.com to book reservations for the total reservation price, which includes the room rate displayed on the Website, plus tax recovery charges, service fees, and where applicable, taxes on the www.vacationshut.com services. You agree that your credit card will be charged by www.vacationshut.com for the total reservation price. Upon submitting your reservation request you authorize www.vacationshut.com to facilitate hotel reservations on your behalf, including making payment arrangements with hotel suppliers.
You acknowledge that except as provided below with respect to tax obligations on the amounts we retain for our services, www.vacationshut.com does not collect taxes for remittance to applicable taxing authorities. The tax recovery charges on prepaid hotel transactions are a recovery of the estimated taxes (e.g. sales and use, occupancy, room tax, excise tax, value-added tax, etc.) that www.vacationshut.com pay to the hotel supplier for taxes due on the hotel's rental rate for the room. The hotel suppliers invoice the www.vacationshut.com Companies for certain charges, including tax amounts. The hotel suppliers are responsible for remitting applicable taxes to the applicable taxing jurisdictions. None of the www.vacationshut.com act as co-vendors with the supplier with whom we book or reserve our customer's travel arrangements. Taxability and the appropriate tax rate vary greatly by location. The actual tax amounts paid by www.vacationshut.com to the hotel suppliers may vary from the tax recovery charge amounts, depending upon the rates, taxability, etc. in effect at the time of the actual use of the hotel by our customers. We retain service fees as additional compensation in servicing your travel reservation. Service fees retained by www.vacationshut.com for their services vary based on the amount and type of reservation.
You may cancel or change your prepaid reservation, but you will be charged the cancellation fee or changed full reservation amount as indicated in the rules and restrictions on the particular reservation. If you do not cancel or change your reservation before the cancellation policy period applicable to the reservation you reserved, which varies by product (usually 24 to 72 hours) prior to your date of arrival, you will be subject to a charge equal to applicable rates, tax recovery charges, and service fees. In the event you do not show for the first night of the reservation and plan to check-in for subsequent nights in your reservation, you must confirm the reservation changes with us no later than the date of the first night of the reservation to prevent cancellation of your reservation.
You agree to pay any cancellation or change fees that you incur. In limited cases, some products do not permit changes to or cancellations of reservations after they are made, as indicated in the rules and restrictions for the reservation. You agree to abide by the Terms of Use imposed with respect to your prepaid reservations.
Sales, use, and/or local hotel occupancy taxes are imposed on the amounts that we charge for our services (service fee and/or facilitation fee) in certain jurisdictions. The actual tax amounts on our services may vary depending on the rates in effect at the time of your use of the reservation.
You may not make reservations for more than 4 rooms online for the same hotel/stay dates. If we determine that you have booked reservations for more than 4 rooms in total in separate reservations, we may cancel your reservations, and charge you the full reservation fee, if applicable. If you paid a non-refundable deposit, your deposit will be forfeited. If you wish to book reservations for 5 or more rooms, you must contact www.vacationshut.com, group travel specialists by phone at (800) 880-4861. One of our travel specialists will research your request and contact you to complete your reservation. You may be asked to sign a written contract and/or pay a nonrefundable deposit.
Some hotel suppliers may require you to present a credit card or cash deposit upon check-in to cover additional expenses incurred during your stay. Such a deposit is unrelated to any payment received by www.vacationshut.com for your reservation
PAY NOW OR PAY LATER DETAILS
With certain hotels, you may be presented with the option to pay online now or pay later at the hotel. If you select the "Pay Now" option, www.vacationshut.com will charge the amount to your credit card in US dollars immediately. If you select "Pay Later at the Hotel", the hotel will charge your credit card in the local currency at the time of your stay. Please note that taxes and fees vary between the two payment options. Tax rates and foreign exchange rates could change in the time between booking and stay. Coupons may only be applied to "Pay Now" reservations on the website.
UNPUBLISHED RATE RESERVATIONS
When available, www.vacationshut.com’s subsidiary, www.vacationshut.com may offer additional, discounted booking options on the Website. These products, called www.vacationshut.com Unpublished Rate travel inventories, are different from other services offered on the Website in several important ways. The name and exact address of the hotel is not shown until after payment has been made for the booking. All bookings are final and cannot be changed, refunded, exchanged, canceled, or transferred to another party. Your credit or Debit card will be charged for the amount shown even if you do not use the booking. Room type will be determined by the hotel based on the number of guests provided at the time of booking. All reservations are booked for stays in non-smoking rooms (subject to availability). Hotel room assignments are determined at check-in and upgrades are not available. The maximum number of Unpublished Rate rooms that can be booked at one time is four. All Unpublished Rate rooms will be booked under the same name, and the guest under whose name the reservation is made must be present at check-in. www.vacationshut.com unpublished Rate products are not eligible for rewards or club programs. Upon check-in, guests must present a valid ID and credit or Debit card in their name (the amount of available credit required will vary by hotel). Debit cards may not be accepted. For information about tax recovery charges, service fees, and taxes on our services, where applicable, please see "Prepaid Hotel Reservations."
www.vacationshut.com is not liable for any costs incurred due to hotel, spaces, resorts, rental car facilities, or station relocation.
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 www.vacationshut.com may pass on your payment to an international travel supplier. The currency exchange rate and foreign transaction fee are 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

We urge customers to review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements, and advisories issued by the relevant governments prior to booking travel to international destinations.

This includes all stops made by the aircraft, even if you do not leave the aircraft or airport.
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.
Disinfection: Although not common, most countries reserve the right to disinfect aircraft if there is a perceived threat to public health, agriculture, or the environment. The World Health Organization and the International Civil Aviation Organization have approved the following disinfection procedures:
1. Spray the aircraft cabin with an aerosolized insecticide while passengers are on board or
2. Treat the aircraft's interior surfaces with a residual insecticide while passengers are not on board. For more information, see: http://ostpxweb.dot.gov/policy/safetyenergyenv/disinsection.htm

It is the responsibility of each customer to obtain and carry a valid passport, visa(s), and all other documents required by applicable government regulations. www.vacationshut.com strongly recommends that you take into account that certain countries will not admit a passenger if their passport expires within six (6) months of the date of entry. Children and infants also require all such travel documents. Minors traveling with one parent, and/or without both parents, may be stopped and not admitted unless authenticated and verified consent forms are provided to the authorities. Non-United States citizens may require additional documentation. See help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/268/kw/travel and check with your local embassy or consulate. The US Customs and Border Protection Agency requires that for USA child groups under age 19 arriving by land or sea from the contiguous territory and traveling with a school group, religious group, social or cultural organization, or sports team, may also present an original or copy of his or her birth certificate, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or a Naturalization Certificate. Parental or legal guardian consent must be provided to the supervising adult/Group Leader.
INDIVIDUAL ENTRY AND EXIT REQUIREMENTS.
Each foreign country holds different views of past criminal offenses, whether within or outside of their boundaries. If you have a current or past offense, and you are unsure how the country you are traveling to (or through) views that offense, please contact that country directly for entry and exit requirements. (See: travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_4965.html) www.vacationshut.com feels it is an invasion of privacy for any member of our staff to make such an inquiry. For example, if traveling to or through Canada, Americans with a Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) record should always check whether current rules exclude admission and potential waivers. (See: www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/faq/inadmissibility/index.asp)

If you are concerned about taking any medications or receiving certain inoculations, check with your health practitioner BEFORE booking.
