TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Please read and understand

The following terms and conditions apply to all Travel organized by WOW Philippines Travel Agency Company, Inc. (herein after referred to as “WOW Philippines Travel  Company”) For this purpose, the term “Travel” shall include any combination of international or domestic flights from your point of origin to your final destination, and include all hotels, resorts, accommodations, excursions, tours, transfers, rentals, etc., that have been organized on your behalf by WOW Philippines Travel  Company.

If your booking includes Philippines Flights or Philippines Accommodations or other service, provided by someone other than WOW Philippines Travel  Company or its appointed agents, whether WOW Philippines Travel  Company has acted as the agent or not, then your contract shall be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable Philippines Travel and Tour Operator’s policies, or in the case of an Airline, the airline's applicable booking conditions. These conditions do not affect your statutory rights.

Any arrangements which you make while on your Philippines Vacation and which are not made through WOW Philippines Travel  Company are ones for which we have no responsibility or liability.

1. Making a Booking
When you make a booking with us you undertake that you have the authority to accept and do accept these booking conditions on behalf of yourself and your party. A contract will exist upon our accepting any monies from you towards the booking or upon the issue of our confirmation or itinerary, whichever is the earlier. These conditions in conjunction with the information set out in our published information form the entire agreement between yourself and WOW Philippines Travel  Company.


When you make a booking with WOW Philippines Travel  Company and we accept it, the total cost of the Philippines Travel Package becomes due and payable immediately, unless we have agreed in writing that you should pay an initial deposit. In any event, the full amount of your Philippines Travel Package must be credited to WOW Philippines Travel  Company a minimum of 30 days BEFORE your scheduled departure. (some services require full payment to confirm booking)

2. Prices
Prices are fixed at the time of booking and generally will not be subject to any surcharges. The only exception will be an increase in our costs arising as the result of any government action including but not limited to, new or increased taxes such as VAT. When a surcharge is payable an administration charge of $5.00 per person, together with an amount to cover travel agents commission (if applicable) will be added. If this means that you have to pay more than 20% of the original booking price you will be entitled to a full refund of all monies paid in respect of your booking, except an amendment charge. Should you decide to cancel because of this then you must exercise your right to do so within fourteen days from the date we advised you of the amount due.

We reserve the right to change our prices at any time before you book including any special rates that we may offer from time to time, which may not be the same as those published on this website.

9. If We Amend your Booking
It is unlikely that we will have to amend your Philippines Travel Package booking. However, occasionally changes may become necessary which we reserve the right to make at any time. Most of these changes are minor and we will advise you at the earliest possible date. Philippines Flight times and carriers set out in publicity material are subject to change and all details given to you are for guidance only.

Confirmed dates will be as shown on your itinerary and air tickets. Should a material change become necessary, we will inform you as soon as reasonably possible. You may decide whether or not to accept the change, however you must accept or reject the proposed change in writing within 72 hours of notification, otherwise we will assume that you have accepted the proposed change.

A material change is one made to your Philippines travel arrangements before departure, involving change of departure or arrival airport (other than between airports within the same city airport system) outward or return Philippines flights being re-scheduled by more than 12 hours, or by substitution of accommodation originally booked with one of a lower grade. If we alter the airline, aircraft type operating your Philippines flight or routing, this is not considered a material change and we will be under no obligation to notify you of such change in advance.

If you do not wish to accept a material change, we will give you a full refund and in addition, whether or not you accept a material change prior to departure, we will also give you compensation for your inconvenience based on the following:

10.    
These are the only forms of compensation that may be paid to you. As we do not control the day-to-day management of your Philippines Resorts, it is possible that we may be advised that the reserved Philippines Resort may not be suitable or available upon your arrival. If this happens, we will endeavor to provide accommodation of at least the same standard, in the same geographic area. If only accommodations of a lower standard are available, then we will refund the difference of the advertised price between the accommodation booked and that available together with compensation of $10.00 per person for your inconvenience.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: We are not responsible for changes which arise as a result of events outside of our control, such as technical or maintenance problems with transportation, changes imposed by re-scheduling or cancellation of Philippines flights by an airline, or main charter company, war or threat of war, civil strife, industrial disputes, natural disasters, bad weather or terrorist activity.

11. If We Cancel your Booking
We reserve the right in any circumstance to cancel your booking. However, in no case will we cancel your booking less than 30 days prior to departure, unless it is for reasons outside of our control or for non-receipt of payment by you.

12. Our Liability
Our obligations, and those of our suppliers providing any service or facility involved in any part of your Boracay Travel are to take reasonable skill and care to arrange for the provision of such services and facilities and, where we or our supplier is actually providing the service or facility, to provide them with reasonable skill and care.

You must show that reasonable skill and care has not been used, if you wish to make any claim against us.

13. Documentation
