TourRadar Terms and Conditions
Introduction and Scope of Services for Travelers and Members

TourRadar GmbH and its subsidiaries (together "TourRadar") provide an online platform with technology for Travelers, Members and Operators to meet online, enter contests, write reviews, search, compare and book tours, cruises and other types of activities ("Tours"). Tours are booked directly from the respective independent tour operator offering the Tour (each an “Operator”). The “Travelers” are travelers interested in booking a Tour. The “Members” are persons who completed TourRadar's account registration process. Travelers and Members are jointly referred to as “you”.

The “Services” comprise listings for Tours independently created by Operators in their own discretion and responsibility (each a “Listing”) as well as Content (as defined below) which are accessible at www.tourradar.com including its subpages (collectively, the "Site") and any related applications (the "Application").

TourRadar is solely acting as a commercial agent for the Operators. TourRadar is not an operator of Tours, nor is it a provider of Tours, nor a representative or proxy of an Operator nor an insurer. TourRadar does not own, sell, resell, furnish, provide, manage or control any transportation, tour or travel services and does not act as an agent to the Travelers. TourRadar's responsibilities are limited to exclusively facilitating the availability of the Services and serving as the commercial agent of each Operator.

TourRadar has no control over the conduct of Operators, Travelers, MEMBERS and other users of the Services. TOURRADAR CANNOT AND DOES NOT CONTROL THE CONTENT CONTAINED IN ANY LISTINGS OR THE CONDITION, LEGALITY OR SUITABILITY OF ANY TOURS. TOURRADAR IS NEITHER RESPONSIBLE NOR LIABLE FOR TO ANY LISTINGS AND TOURS. BOOKINGS WITH THE OPERATORS ARE MADE AT THE TRAVELER'S OWN RISK.

These terms and conditions ("Terms"), as amended from time to time, apply to all TourRadar Services and govern the rights and obligations arising out of the Traveler’s use of the Platform. 
 

• For Travelers with a place of residence or business outside of Canada, Australia, European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the United Kingdom, the license agreement with TourRadar is subject to these Terms of Use for US Users.

These Terms govern your access to and use of the Site, Application and Services and all Content (as defined below) vis-à-vis TourRadar and, where applicable, the Operators. Please carefully read these Terms and also the Privacy Policy and the Legal Notice, each of which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. If you do not fully agree to these Terms, you have no right to obtain information from or otherwise continue using the Site, Application and Services. If you act on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you guarantee that you have the authority to act on behalf and to bind that company or other legal entity to these Terms. If you are using this Website and/or making travel reservations or bookings for another person you agree to inform that person(s) about the Terms & Conditions that apply to the travel reservations and bookings you have made on their behalf, including all rules and restrictions applicable thereto and these Terms of Use. You agree to be financially responsible for all of your use of the Website (as well as for use of your account by others). You are responsible for any bookings and travel reservations made by persons under your direction or control. You also warrant that all information supplied by you or on your behalf, or by members of your household in using the Website is true, current, complete, and accurate. Furthermore, you also confirm that the Traveler is not an unaccompanied minor. Without limitation, any exploratory, speculative, false, or fraudulent reservation or any reservation in anticipation of demand is prohibited.
Eligibility
The Services are intended solely for persons who are aged 18 years or older. Any access to or use of the Services by anyone under 18 years is expressly prohibited. By accessing or using the Services you guarantee that you are 18 years or older.
Privacy
TourRadar's Privacy Policy applies. Please see them for information and notices concerning TourRadar's collection and use of your personal information.
Bookings and Payments
Bookings by Travelers with Operators
The respective Operator only, and not TourRadar, 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 TourRadar is no party to the agreement but only acts as the commercial agent to the Operator and TourRadar accepts no liability arising from or related to any of your agreements with the Operator unless TourRadar 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 TourRadar 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.
TourRadar 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 TourRadar 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, TourRadar does not represent or warrant that travel to such areas is advisable or without risk. TourRadar 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. TourRadar 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.

TourRadar 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. TourRadar will not offer for sale journeys that include travel to any sanctioned country. TourRadar reserves the right to cancel any reservation made that is contrary to OFAC policy and/or sanctions and TourRadar 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.
Cancellations and Refunds
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 TourRadar 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 Refunds

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 TourRadar 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 TourRadar, please contact TourRadar at info@tourradar.com.
TourRadar Rewards Programs
Friends with Benefits

If applicable, TourRadar's Friends with Benefits program allows you as a Traveler to earn TourRadar travel credits for friends who are not currently TourRadar members and who have never booked a tour with TourRadar (the “New User”) you refer that make a qualified booking with TourRadar. Members of TourRadar’s affiliate program may not simultaneously collect travel credits via your invite link. To accumulate and redeem travel credits you must maintain a TourRadar account in good standing. To earn travel credits, refer New Users by sending them your personal invite link, available in your member's area on the Site. You may also share your unique invite link via email and social media to friends and family. You may not share your personal link on public forums or coupon sites. If you do this, it is a violation of this Agreement and TourRadar may terminate your account. You will then forfeit all credits in your account. TourRadar reserves the right to cancel, revoke, or otherwise prevent the issuance of travel credits in any suspected case of fraudulence or misuse of this program and does not need to provide any details or explanation.

If the New User clicks your unique invite link (or enters your invite code) and books directly with TourRadar using your indicated discount (unless otherwise stated 5 %), TourRadar will deposit the indicated amount (unless otherwise stated 5 %) of your friend’s tour value on the day your friend books the tour, to your TourRadar Account. You must be signed in to your TourRadar account to use your travel credits. These credits can be used to book any tour through TourRadar. Travel credits are non-refundable. Upon cancellation of a tour by the Traveler, any credits used for the booking will not be refunded.

TourRadar reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue the Friends with Benefits program either temporarily or permanently (or any part thereof) with or without notice. TourRadar will not be liable to you in the event of any modification, suspension or discontinuance of this program. Travel credits are not redeemable for cash or equivalents.
