posses the legal authority to enter into this User Agreement and to use the
Booking Engine in accordance with the terms and conditions of this User

and not for any other purposes, including without limitation, to make any

of demand.
USE OF INFORMATION
WCT reserves the right, and you authorize WCT and its affiliates, to use and
assign all information provided by you in any manner consistent with WCT’s
Privacy Policy. You may view WCT’s Privacy Policy by clicking HERE.
CONTENT
Some of the Content that refers to city attractions, things to do, hotel
accommodations, restaurants and other services is the property of, and is
supplied by, third parties that are not under WCT’s control. WCT does not
independently verify, and does not guarantee, the accuracy of the information
that we receive from such third parties. All information, prices and
availability are subject to change without notice.
LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES
The Booking Engine may contain hyperlinks to websites operated by third parties.
WCT does not control such websites and will not be responsible for their content
or for any breach of contract or any intentional or negligent action on the part
of such third parties, which results in any loss, damage, delay or injury to you
or your companions. WCT is not responsible for the accuracy of opinions express
in such websites, and such websites are not investigated, monitored or checked
for accuracy or completeness by WCT. Inclusion of any linked website on the
Booking Engine does not imply or constitute approval or endorsement of the
linked website by WCT. If you decide to leave the Booking Engine to access these
third party sites, you do so at your own risk. All rules, policies (including
privacy policies) and operating procedures of websites operated by third parties
will apply to you while on such sites. WCT is not responsible for information
provided by you to third parties.
TAX RECOVERY CHARGE
The tax charge on Hot Rate hotel transactions is a recovery of all applicable
transaction taxes (e.g. sales and use, occupancy, room tax, excise tax, value
added tax, etc.) that WCT collects from customers and pays to vendors (such as
hotels, etc.) in connection with your travel arrangements.
WCT is not the vendor collecting and remitting such tax to the applicable tax
authorities. The vendors bill WCT for applicable taxes and WCT remits such
amounts directly to the vendors. WCT is not a co-vendor associated with the
vendor with whom WCT books or reserves travel arrangements.
Taxability and the appropriate tax rate vary greatly by location. The actual
amount of tax paid to vendors may vary from the tax recovery charge, depending
upon the rates, taxability or other factors in effect at the time of the actual
use of a given travel service by a customer.
WCT does not incur the cost of sales tax from vendors located in Alaska,
Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon, as these states do not impose a
sales tax. Also, certain jurisdictions impose a hotel occupancy tax or other
type of transaction tax upon the renting of a hotel room, an automobile, etc.
The type of tax collected by a vendor will vary by service and location.
TERMS OF SERVICE - HOT RATE HOTEL RESERVATIONS ONLY
Credit cards for Hot Rate hotel reservations will be charged the full amount for
the reservation including all taxes and applicable service fees at the time of
booking. Reservations may be changed or cancelled anytime within the appropriate
hotel’s cancellations policy period at a charge indicated on the applicable
website. Upon arrival and check in at a hotel, you are responsible for the
entire length of stay. No refunds or credits will be issued for any nights
reserved but not consumed. Cancellations made after the hotel cancel policy
period has lapsed or no shows will be charged according to the hotel’s
cancellation policy (although the cancellation charge usually equals one
night’s room rate plus tax, you should look to the specific hotel’s policies
for the exact charges that you may incur). No contract will exist between you
and WCT (or its affiliates) until WCT has sent you an email with a pre-payment
voucher that you will present to the appropriate hotel at the time of your check
in.
CURRENCY CONVERTER
Currency rates are based on various publicly available sources and should be
used as guidelines only. Rates are not verified as accurate, and actual rates
may vary. Currency quotes are not updated every day. Check the date on the
Currency Converter for the day that currency was last updated. Neither WCT nor
its affiliates warrant or guarantee the accuracy of any such information. When
using this information for any financial purpose, WCT advises you to consult a
qualified professional to verify the accuracy of the currency rates. WCT does
not authorize the use of this information for any purpose other than personal
use and hereby prohibits, to the maximum extent allowable the resale,
redistribution, and use of this information for commercial purposes.
INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold WCT and its affiliates and any of WCT or
its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and
assigns, harmless from and against any liability, claim, loss, expense, cause of
action or demand, including without limitation reasonable legal and accounting
fees arising directly or indirectly in connection with any breach by you of any
term, condition, representation, warranty or covenant contained herein or
otherwise resulting from your use of the Booking Engine.
CONTRACT INFORMATION
No contract will exist as between you and WCT or any of its affiliates for the
sale of any product or service unless and until WCT accepts your reservation by
email confirming your reservation or purchase and issues you a unique
confirmation code. Acceptance will be deemed complete and will be deemed to be
effectively communicated to you for all purposes at the time that WCT sends the
email to you, whether or not you receive the email.
MISCELLANEOUS
This User Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to any conflict of law
principles. You irrevocably and unconditionally agree that any legal proceeding
arising out of or relating to this User Agreement may be brought in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, West Palm Beach
Division, or, if that court lacks jurisdiction, in any court of competent
jurisdiction in Palm Beach County; and hereby consent to the jurisdiction of
each such court in any proceeding. Use of the Booking Engine is unauthorized in
any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these terms and
conditions, including, without limitation, this paragraph.
This User Agreement (and any other terms and conditions referenced herein)
constitutes the entire and only agreement between WCT and its affiliates and
you, and supercedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations,
warranties and understandings with respect to the Booking Engine, the Content or
any products or services provided by or through the Booking Engine, and the
subject matter of this User Agreement.
You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship
is created as a result of this User Agreement or use of the Booking Engine.
WCT’s performance of this User Agreement is subject to existing laws and legal
process, and nothing contained in this User Agreement is in derogation of
WCT’s right to comply with law enforcement requests or requirements relating
to your use of the Booking Engine or information provided to or gathered by WCT
with respect to such use.
If any part of this User Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable
pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty
disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or
unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable
provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the
remainder of this User Agreement shall continue in effect.
A printed version of this User Agreement and of any notice given in electronic
form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or
relating to this User Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same
conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and
maintained in printed form.
WCT’s failure to enforce any provision of this User Agreement shall not be
deemed a waiver of such provision nor of the right to enforce such provision.
Fictitious names of companies, products, people, characters, and/or data
mentioned herein are not intended to represent any real individual, company,
product, or event. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.
Other terms and conditions may apply to your purchase of products or services
offered on or through the Booking Engine.
