You also assume full financial responsibility for your use of CheaperVacations.com®'s secure transactional site and certify that all the information provided by you or users of your computer is true and accurate. Remember that false or misleading statements made in connection with a purchase may constitute an offence subject to criminal prosecution.

Travel documents

It is your responsibility to have in your possession all travel documents, passports, visas, and vaccinations required by the authorities of the countries where you will be staying, and this, at your own expense. If you don't know what documents to obtain, please contact the consulates or embassies of the countries you are planning to visit. Any traveler who does not have the required travel documents in their possession may be denied access to the plane or entry to the transit country or final destination. In such a case, cancellation fees will apply and CheaperVacations.com® disclaims all liability.

General conditions of tour operators and/or suppliers

The purchase of travel services is subject to the tour operator and/or supplier's conditions and limitations, to your vouchers, and tickets. The general terms and conditions of tour operators and suppliers are accessible on this site and it is your responsibility to read them. When you enter your credit card number to purchase a trip, you confirm that you have read and acknowledge the present general conditions and those of the tour operators and/or suppliers. It is important to know that tour operators and suppliers generally charge a fee in case of a cancellation or modification. You should pay close attention to the deadlines for presenting yourself to the airport check-in counters (usually 3 hours prior to departure), to service availability at destination, and to possible flight and hotel changes. It is the traveler's responsibility to always confirm the schedule, for any carrier, and this, within 24 hours from departure. Flights must always be confirmed 24 hours and less prior to departure.

As CheaperVacations.com® is not involved in the preparation, organization and delivery of products and services at destination, including vacation packages and any types of travel services which tour operators and suppliers are responsible for, it disclaims all responsibility for any potential damage, loss, theft, accident, or injury that may occur.

Note on prices in Quebec

Some jurisdictions regulate the advertising of travel product prices by imposing tour operators and suppliers to indicate only (or in a very explicit way) the total cost to be paid for the advertised travel services (including taxes, services charges and/or other incidental fees). This rule does not apply in all Canadian provinces.

Regardless of where you live, laws and regulations applicable in the province of Quebec, judicial district of Trois-Rivières, will be those that will apply to your booking with our agency.

Information and prices of travel services are provided directly by tour operators and/or suppliers. It is possible that misprints and other types of errors occur.

CheaperVacations.com® is in no way responsible for payment omissions. You can pay with Visa, MasterCard, American Express, all this subject to tour operators' restrictions.

Unilateral price modification

Last updated on October 1, 2017

Unilateral modification of the contract price will be permitted under the following conditions:

The price of travel products and services may be increased in the event of an increase in taxes, fees, or charges authorized by a competent authority in connection with fuel, or an increase in the exchange rate between the date of booking and the date of application of the increase.
If the increase due to a fuel surcharge is higher than 7% (excluding GST and PST) the customer can choose between the cancellation of the contract with full refund or a replacement product offered by the travel agent (the customer then has to pay for any price difference). No changes can take place within 30 days prior to service provision.

Regarding an increase in the exchange rate (maximum 5%): There can be an increase in the price of travel products and services if the exchange rate difference is higher than 5% (compared to what it was at the time of booking) at 45 days prior to departure.
When the contract is concluded in writing remotely, for example, via the Internet, the travel agent is exempt from the obligation to inform the customer orally about the content of this clause provided that such information is expressly brought to the customer's knowledge. When the contract is concluded remotely and orally, e.g. over the telephone, the travel agent is exempt from the obligation to inform the customer in writing of the content of this clause on the condition that the contract is transmitted to the customer within 15 days of its conclusion.
This amendment to the law came into force on June 30, 2010.
