CANCELLATION AND CHANGES
Tickets and/or other Travel Products purchased through Koyap agents are heavily discounted and thus are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. If fare rules allow, cancellations and/or changes are permitted up to 48 hours before departure. There will be a minimum of $250.00 per Passenger processing fee in addition to any fare difference and any applicable fees/penalties charged by the Supplier and/or recalled by the Supplier. Fees vary depending on the specific fare rules. NO SHOW ticket(s) have no value and will not be processed for a refund and/or exchange. Cancellation of reservation does not automatically initiate a refund or guarantee credit.
If fare rules allow cancellations, you will not receive a monetary refund when canceling. Instead, you will receive a credit (less any applicable Supplier fees) towards a future ticket purchase on an international flight of equal or higher value; such credit will be valid for up to twelve (12) months from the original date of purchase and during this period all travel must be complete. The validity of this credit depends on the specific fare rules.
GENERAL RULES AND CONDITIONS
Name Changes. Name changes are not allowed, only the original Passenger can use the ticket(s).
No Show Tickets. “No-show” tickets have no value. A “no-show” status will be applied when a Passenger has not showed up for the outbound flight and has not processed a cancellation. In such case the flight segment will be automatically changed to a “no-show” status, and all the connecting flights associated with this booking, including a return flight, will be automatically cancelled losing any potential future credit value.
Travel Segments. The ticket can be used only in the original sequence of travel segments as it was issued, out of sequence usage is not allowed.
Recommended Check-in Time. The recommended check-in time for all cruises & international flights is a minimum of 3 hours before departure time, even if the Passenger is traveling on a domestic flight to another airport to connect to the Passenger’s international flight. Koyap is not responsible if the Passenger misses his/her flight or cruise by being late for check-in or at the gate. If the Passenger misses his/her flight, you must first contact the airline representative at the airport as they have the best ability to reschedule Passengers on alternative flights. If this is unsuccessful, please contact your Koyap agent.
Missed Flights/Cruise. Missed flights & Cruises are not refundable and non-exchangeable, changes or replacement will be at the discretion of the Supplier. Koyap will use reasonable efforts to assist you, but it cannot guarantee a replacement.
Schedule Changes. Airlines & Cruise-lines retain the right to adjust departure times, schedules and equipment at any time – schedule changes can result in an itinerary change. Airlines/Cruiselines may also at their discretion change or cancel flights or whole itineraries. Passengers should check their travel booking from time to time or at the minimum at least 72 hours prior to scheduled departure for any schedule changes and verify the current departure information on the airline’s website.
Overbooking and Flight Replacement. Occasionally airlines overbook flights, which can result in denied boarding. If your ticket is not honored for any reason, please contact your Koyap agent immediately. Your ticket is guaranteed up to the original paid amount, and Koyap will replace your ticket within 24 hours or provide other alternative options within 24 hours. You agree to give Koyap 24 hours from the time of the original scheduled departure to remedy any issues with your booking.
Frequent Flier Awards. Since most airfares offered by Koyap are heavily discounted they might not offer frequent traveler awards (miles, points etc.), upgrades, certificate vouchers and other discounts or incentives may not apply to the Travel Products. Additionally, mileage accrual may not apply to all flight segments. Please discuss any aspects of frequent traveler awards with your Koyap agent before booking and finalizing the itinerary.
Baggage Allowance. Passengers may have to pay additional fees at the airport if their checked luggage exceeds weight, size or quantity allowed in the standard baggage allowance by the airline. Some airlines do not offer any free baggage allowance. Baggage allowance policies and baggage fees associated with checked or carry-on baggage vary widely and are subject to change by the airlines at any time. Please inquire with the applicable airlines for more information.
Hotel and Other Services Fees. Take special note that hotel accommodations, transfers and all service fees may not be refundable or exchangeable.
VISA(s), TRANSIT VISA(s) AND OTHER TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
The Passenger is responsible for ensuring that he/she meets foreign entry requirements and that his/her travel documents, such as passports, visas (transit, business, tourist, and otherwise), are in order and any other foreign entry requirements are met. Koyap has no obligation to advise clients on any visa or travel document requirements and will take no responsibility in case of denied boarding or entry into a country due to lack of visa(s) or improper travel documents. The Passenger’s passport should be valid for a minimum of 6 months from the date of travel. We urge you and you agree to inform your Passengers, to review travel restrictions, warnings, announcements, and advisories issued by the relevant government agencies prior to booking travel to international destinations. Traveling on a one-way ticket may not be allowed to certain destinations, please check if this is allowed before the Passenger’s departure. Please note that some countries may require a visa and/ or a health card. It is the Passenger’s responsibility to have all required travel documents in possession at check-in. It is strongly recommended that Passengers review visa requirements for all stops as some countries may require a transit visa. You, and the applicable Passenger, must consult the relevant Embassy or Consulate for information related to passports, visas and other travel documentation and information including, but limited to any travel and health advisories. Requirements may change and you should check for up-to-date information before booking and departure. We accept no liability if the Passenger is refused entry onto a flight or cruise or into a country due to failure to carry correct and adequate passport, visa, or other travel documents required by any airline/cruise-line representative, government or border control authority, including countries the Passenger may just be transiting through even if the Passenger does not leave the aircraft, ship, airport or port.
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL: HEALTH
Health: Recommended inoculations for travel may change and the Passenger should consult his/ her doctor for current recommendations before departure. It is the Passenger’s responsibility to ensure that he/she meets all health entry requirements, obtain the recommended inoculations, take all recommended medication, and follow all medical advice in relation to the Passenger’s trip.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THE ‘DISPUTES’ SECTION (WHICH INCLUDES EXCLUSIVE ARBITRATION, NO CLASS ACTION, AND WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL) CAREFULLY.
DISPUTES
You agree to give Koyap an opportunity to resolve any disputes or claims relating in any way to the Website, any dealings with our customer service agents, any Services or Travel Products, or any statements made by us or content contained in the Website or the Services or any documentation provided by us, or these Agreement (“Claims”) by contacting your Koyap agent or Koyap at 1 (833) 623-9754. If we are not able to resolve your Claims within 60 days, you agree to seek relief exclusively through binding arbitration or in small claims court, as set forth below.
Exclusive Arbitration: You hereby agree that any and all Claims will be exclusively resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except you may assert Claims on an individual basis in small claims court if they qualify. This includes any Claims you assert against Koyap or its affiliates, Suppliers or any third party offering Travel Products through the Website or Services (which you hereby acknowledge and agree that are beneficiaries of this arbitration agreement). This also includes any Claims that arose before you accepted these Agreement, regardless of whether prior versions of the Agreement required arbitration.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including statutory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs), and must follow and enforce these Agreement as a court would.
The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA Consumer Rules. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The place of arbitration will be in San Francisco, California. All proceedings will be held and a transcribed record prepared in English. The number of arbitrators shall be 1. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, except as provided in this section To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your Claims to “Koyap Legal: Arbitration Claim”, at Koyap LLC, 8 The Green, Set B, Dover, DE 19901. If we request arbitration against you, we will give you notice at the email address or street address you have provided. A party requesting arbitration must also provide a copy of the request to the AAA at www.adr.org or at any AAA office.
No Class Action: Waiver of Jury Trial: Any and all proceedings to resolve Claims will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action whether in arbitration or in court. If for any reason a Claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each hereby waive any right to a jury trial.
Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, U.S.A., without regard to any conflicts of laws principles that would require the laws of another jurisdiction to apply. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement. This Agreement will not be governed by the following, the application of which is hereby expressly excluded: (x) the conflict of law rules of any jurisdiction, (y) the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, and (z) the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act, as enacted in any jurisdiction. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorney’s fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and judgment on such award may be entered in any court with competent jurisdiction.
Injunctive Relief: Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to prevent Koyap from seeking injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) from any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect its rights pursuant to this Agreement. The prevailing party in any suit will recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, including expert costs, from the other party.
