- SpeedyTravel product information and acquisition of products and services
- The SpeedyTravel website contains both information of a general nature about SpeedyTravel and SpeedyTravel's products and
service.
- Where the SpeedyTravel website enables you to purchase travel products or services:
- we may enter into a binding contract for the provision of travel or other related products or services through a
process in which SpeedyTravel makes an electronic offer via the SpeedyTravel website and you electronically communicate your
acceptance of that offer via the SpeedyTravel website;
- SpeedyTravel may act on and process all completed electronic instructions, messages, requests or communications
issued or transmitted to SpeedyTravel via the SpeedyTravel website (each an 'Electronic Instruction') without further
confirmation from or reference to you; and
- SpeedyTravel may treat an Electronic Instruction as authentic and is under no obligation to investigate the
authenticity or authority of persons issuing or transmitting such Electronic Instruction, or to verify the accuracy and
completeness of such Electronic Instruction.
- In order to acquire travel products and services via the SpeedyTravel website, you must be at least 18 years of age.
- If payment is made by credit card you must be the credit card holder for any travel products and services which you attempt to acquire.
- Creating a binding contract with Speedy Travel Ltd via the SpeedyTravel website is a two step process:
- The first step is to create or compile an itinerary or schedule containing the products or services you wish to acquire. Upon completion or selection by you of all required products and/or services, the SpeedyTravel website will provide you with a quote and availability guide for the products and services selected.
- If you wish to acquire the travel products or
services selected then, upon completion by you of all required details,
you must accept the quote and a binding agreement will be created, with a
corresponding Speedy Travel Ltd booking number assigned.
- When entering into a contract via the SpeedyTravel website, you will be taken to have communicated your acceptance to an offer from Speedy Travel Ltd only when:
- the Electronic Instruction containing the acceptance from you enters and is recorded in the relevant Speedy Travel Ltd
database;
- a record is created and stored in the relevant Speedy Travel Ltd database; and
- a Speedy Travel Ltd booking number is generated.
- The parties will not be bound by the terms of a contract created via the SpeedyTravel website until the Electronic Instruction
containing the acceptance from you to Speedy Travel Ltd's offer has been received by SpeedyTravel in the manner specified in this clause.
- You acknowledge that the transmission of your acceptance through an Electronic Instruction may not be received by SpeedyTravel in
accordance with this clause for reasons beyond either parties' reasonable control including, but not limited to, mechanical, software, computer,
telecommunications or electronic failure. You further acknowledge that, to the extent permitted by law, Speedy Travel Ltd is not liable to you in any way for any loss or damage at all and however caused, arising directly or indirectly in connection with the transmission of an Electronic
Instruction through the SpeedyTravel website or any failure to receive an Electronic Instruction for whatever reason.
- Where a transaction is entered into between Speedy Travel Ltd and you via the SpeedyTravel website, a booking number will be issued by Speedy Travel Ltd. However, a binding agreement between us is not conditional on the issuance or receipt by you of a booking number. Therefore, the failure by you to receive a booking number from Speedy Travel Ltd does not invalidate or otherwise prejudice the existence of a contract or transaction entered into using the SpeedyTravel website.
- Speedy Travel Ltd may issue a paper confirmation of the products or services acquired by you. The existence of a binding contract is not
conditional on Speedy Travel Ltd issuing, or you receiving, a paper confirmation of the transaction.
- You are responsible for ensuring that you receive a booking number and should contact Speedy Travel Ltd if one is not received.

- The SpeedyTravel website may contain or make available various
tools, packages, software programs, fare-finders, games or other features.
The SpeedyTravel website may also contain helpful hints, travel
tips, travel advice, or other information or material.
- Whilst SpeedyTravel has made every effort to ensure that any
such features or information as described in (1) above are accurate and
free from defect, SpeedyTravel does not warrant the accuracy,
adequacy, correctness or completeness of these features, which are
provided on an "as is" basis. The use by you of any of these features or
any information provided by SpeedyTravel is entirely at your own
risk.

card number for security and verification purposes, or as part of your profile if you request Speedy Travel Ltd to do so.

exchange rate fluctuations or increases in supplier rates, Speedy Travel Ltd
reserves the right, up to and including the date of departure, to adjust
any fees, charges or prices as necessary, even if the products or services
acquired have been paid for in full, to reflect such cost increases passed
onto Speedy Travel Ltd.
- Speedy Travel Ltd reserves the right to correct any errors in fees,
charges, rates or prices quoted or billed, even if the products or
services acquired have been paid for in full.
- Cancellation charges and alterations
- Speedy Travel Ltd reserves the right to charge you a $30 fee for each
alteration or variation to a travel product or service once that product
or service has been booked and fully paid for.
- When making a cancellation any balance is held in credit to be used within
12 months from the date of first purchase.
- Refunds for unused services
- Speedy Travel Ltd will not issue you with a refund for any tours, car hire,

becomes aware of the need for an amendment or alteration to your travel
reservation or booking and will propose alternate products, services or
arrangements which are of the same standard as those originally booked.
You must, as soon as possible after such notification by Speedy Travel Ltd
elect to either:

- receive a refund of all monies paid to Speedy Travel Ltd for the affected products or services, except for any amount which
is withheld by a product or service provider other than Speedy Travel Ltd. Failure to notify Speedy Travel Ltd of your election within a reasonable timeframe will be taken as an acceptance of Speedy Travel Ltd's proposed alternate products, services or arrangements.
