by you in any manner consistent with WCT's Privacy Policy.

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 expressed on 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

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 canceled 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 e-mail with a prepayment 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 e-mail
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
e-mail to you, whether or not you receive the e-mail
