Terms & Conditions

for BusinessClass.com V02.03 Dated 10.07.2024

1. Acceptance of Terms

Please read these terms and conditions of use carefully before accessing, using or obtaining any materials, information, products or services. By accessing the BusinessClass.com website, mobile or tablet application, or any other feature or other BusinessClass.com platform (collectively, "Our Website"), you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. If you do not accept all of these Terms, then you may not use Our Website. In these Terms, "we", "us", "our" and "BusinessClass.com" refers to BusinessClass.com, and "you" and "your" refers to you, the user of Our Website.

2. Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms for any reason at any time by posting a new version on Our Website. These changes do not affect rights and obligations that arose prior to such changes. Your continued use of Our Website following the posting of modified Terms will be subject to the Terms in effect at the time of your use. Please review these Terms periodically for changes. If you object to any provision of these Terms or any subsequent modifications to these Terms or become dissatisfied with Our Website in any way, your only recourse is to immediately terminate use of Our Website.

3. We Do Not Sell Travel Products

Our Website is a travel search engine. BusinessClass.com does not provide, own, or control any of the travel services and products that you can access through Our Website, such as flights, accommodations, rental cars, packages, or travel insurance (the "Travel Products"). The Travel Products are owned, controlled, or made available by third parties (the "Travel Providers") either directly (e.g., airline) or as an agent (e.g., online travel agency). The Travel Providers are responsible for the Travel Products. The Travel Provider's terms and privacy policies apply to your booking, so you must agree to and understand those terms. Furthermore, the terms of the actual travel provider (airline, hotel, tour operator, etc.) apply to your travel, so you must also agree to and understand those terms. Your interaction with any Travel Provider accessed through Our Website is at your own risk; BusinessClass.com does not bear any responsibility should anything go wrong with your booking or during your travel.

The display on Our Website of a Travel Product or Travel Provider does not in any way imply, suggest, or constitute a recommendation by BusinessClass.com of that Travel Product or Travel Provider, or any sponsorship or approval of BusinessClass.com by such Travel Provider, or any affiliation between such Travel Provider and BusinessClass.com.

BusinessClass.com hosts content, including prices, made available by or obtained from Travel Providers. BusinessClass.com is in no way responsible for the accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of such content. Since BusinessClass.com has no control over the Travel Products and does not verify the content uploaded by the Travel Providers, it is not possible for us to guarantee the prices displayed on Our Website. Prices change constantly and additional charges (e.g., payment fees, service charges, checked-in luggage fees, local taxes and fees) may apply, so you should always check whether the price asked for a booking is the one you expected. Some Travel Products may also be sold in another currency than the one preset or chosen by you for the display of the search results. Our currency conversion is for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as accurate or real-time; actual rates may vary, and your payment provider (e.g., your credit card company) may charge conversion fees and apply another date's currency rate.

4. Booking through BusinessClass.com

If you make a booking through Our Website for Travel Products, that booking is made with the Travel Provider named on the booking page, and Our Website only acts as a user interface. Accordingly, BusinessClass.com has no responsibility for the booking or the Travel Product because BusinessClass.com has no involvement in creating the description of the Travel Product, in defining the price and any fees, or in providing the Travel Products that you book. If you have any issues or disputes with your booking and/or the Travel Product, you agree to address and resolve these with the Travel Provider and not with us.

5. Intellectual Property

We, along with our corporate affiliates, the Travel Providers, and other licensors, own all of the text, images, software, trademarks, service marks, and other material contained on Our Website except User Content. You will not copy or transmit any of the material except if you are doing so for your personal, non-commercial use. All copyright, trademark, and other proprietary rights notices presented on Our Website must appear on all copies you print. Other non-BusinessClass.com product, service, or company designations on Our Website belong to those respective third parties and may be mentioned on Our Website for identification purposes only. You should contact the appropriate third party for more complete information regarding such designations and their registration status. Your use of and access to Our Website does not grant you any license or right to use any of the marks included on Our Website.

Our content is largely generated in an automated fashion; errors can and do happen. We usually have many search results, but we are not comprehensive and do not display all available providers and offers. Accordingly, we do not always display the lowest available price. BusinessClass.com expressly disclaims to the fullest extent permissible all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and security and accuracy, as well as all warranties arising by usage of trade, course of dealing, or course of performance.

13. Air Carrier Rules

The circumvention of an air carrier's rules, including practices such as back-to-back ticketing (purchasing two or more tickets with overlapping travel dates in order to circumvent minimum stay requirements) and hidden-city ticketing (purchasing tickets including segments which the purchaser does not intend to use in order to circumvent an air carrier's pricing structure), is prohibited by many air carriers. The use of prohibited ticketing practices may result in the air carrier taking actions, including the cancellation of the ticket, denied boarding, revocation of frequent flier miles and other benefits, additional charges to the purchaser's credit card, additional charges collected at the airport, or future invoicing.

14. User Content

15. Hacker Fare

In the case of a Hacker Fare, Our Website displays search results for a combination of Travel Products (e.g., separate flight and hotel results, or two one-way flights, instead of a round trip). If you use these search results, you will make two different bookings with different rules and policies (for example, for baggage fees, change fees, and refunds). Any changes made to one of your bookings will not affect the other booking (for example, if your initial flight is cancelled by either you or the airline, the other airline with which you booked your return flight is not obligated to issue a refund or change your itinerary). If you are traveling internationally, you may need to provide proof that you have a return flight at check-in and at immigration.
