Supplier will: (i) accept Vouchers presented by the Customer; and (ii) verify the identity of each Customer presenting a Voucher prior to accepting it. If Supplier cannot provide a Product to a Customer presenting a Voucher, then Supplier will immediately notify TS Tours and, at the Customer’s election, provide Customer with a comparable or better Product at no additional cost, or notify TS Tours of Customer’s desire for a refund. TS Tours may refrain from offering Products through the Service in its sole discretion. Supplier shall: (iii) make available to TS Tours all Products that it makes available through any other servicer; (iv) allow TS Tours to book any available inventory; and (v) offer its Products to TS Tours at rates equal to or less than the rates it offers directly or through any other channels for the same or similar products.

(d) Supplier acknowledges that TS Tours has no knowledge of (i) Customers’ actual use of the Products, (ii) any cancellation notice that may be given by Customers to Supplier, or whether any such cancellation notice is sufficient under Supplier’s policies or the terms of this Agreement to relieve Customers (and TS Tours) of the charges otherwise due, or (iii) any price adjustment negotiated between Supplier and Customers. Accordingly, TS Tours may rely upon, and accept as accurate for the Products: (1) the Retail Rate and Net Rates provided by Supplier as may be updated per this section; and 2) the reservation information contained in TS Tours booking database.

Supplier, therefore, appoints TS Tours and its Distributors to act and operate as Supplier’s commercial sales agent, either general or limited, with respect to the marketing and sale of Products via the Service for the purpose of directly accepting payment of the Product’s Retail Rates from the Customer on behalf of the Supplier and to make onward payment of those sums to TS Tours. Supplier agrees that receipt of payment for the sum due from a Customer for the Retail Rate associated with the Products shall extinguish Customer’s payment obligation to Supplier. Supplier agrees that payment made to TS Tours by a Customer via the Service for the Retail Rate of the Products shall be considered the same as payment made directly to the Supplier, and Supplier will provide Products to the Customer in the agreed upon manner as if Supplier had received the funds directly from the Customer. TS Tours will bear the credit card and banking fees associated with the receipt of payment from the Customer and TS Tours may collect a Service Fee, separate from the Retail Rate collected on the Supplier’s behalf, to cover these expenses, as well as fraud prevention, the defense of chargebacks, and other expenses related to the processing and service of the transactions via the Service.

This Marketing Fee will cover the costs associated with the Service including, but not limited to, TS Tours marketing and promotion of the Products, the promotion, maintenance, and improvement of the technology, websites, and channels utilized for the sale of the Products, the services of the TS Tours team provided to the Supplier for the maintenance of the Supplier’s Account and Products, as well as the travel services provided to the Customer.
