Supplier Fees
In the event the Travel Offer you have
purchased is unable to proceed, and/
or a travel Supplier is unable to fulfil the
Travel Offer due to external circumstances
(Limitation of Liability e.g. a Force Majeure
event), there may be a fee or amount of
money that is withheld by our Suppliers
and is unrecoverable. This may be due to
non-refundable airline tickets, cancellation
penalties with cruise cabins or unrecoverable
payments with our land/accommodation
partners. TripADeal has committed to these
costs as your Agent and will endeavour to
recover all funds committed and/or paid
for your Travel Offer, but this may not be
possible in all circumstances. If refunds
are not available from Suppliers, we will
endeavour to obtain a travel credit on the
best terms available and communicate these
outcomes to you. In the event, TripADeal is
unable to obtain a refund or travel service
credit, or part thereof, this cost is passed on
to the customer as a Supplier Fee. This fee is
not revenue-raising and is paid to or withheld
by our suppliers when recovering payments.
