Terms and Conditions

This is the user agreement, which governs your use of this white label site and the purchase by you of the services and products provided on this site. This white label site is owned and operated by LM Travel Services ("LM Travel Services", "we", "us"), we are operating on behalf of Aerlingushotels.com. However not all of the products or services we provide are supplied by us, therefore the contract for the product and/or service will be between you and that third party.

General Section - please note that this section relates generally to your use of this white label site and to all products purchased.

1. Please take time to read these terms and conditions it is important for both of us that you understand our contractual relationship relating to your use of the site. We will not allow you to purchase any products from the site unless you have confirmed that you have read these terms.
2. Except for the sale of a very small number of products our Channels operate to an agency model. This means that we act as a disclosed agent for third party suppliers, such as an airline, hotel or a restaurant. What this means is that the contract for the product is between you and the supplier. In most cases this will mean that there are additional terms and conditions governing the contract as each supplier will have terms and conditions relating to that product. Please make sure that you have read these terms and conditions before completing your transaction with us. You can easily request them from our Customer Services by using one of the methods detailed at the end of these terms. Where we act as agent this will mean that we have no contractual liability to you in respect of that product. However, we may still be liable to you if we have been negligent, we have misrepresented important information or have been in breach of any other relevant law. On the other hand, for some products, we act as principal. This means that the contract for the product is between you and us. Don't worry we will let you know where we act as principal and where we act as agent.
3. All products sold through this site are not an offer by LM Travel Services operating on behalf of Aerlingushotels.com to sell any product, but an invitation to you to make an offer to our suppliers. We are free to accept that offer on behalf of those suppliers or to reject it. We will send you an e-mail confirming the contract when you have purchased from the website.
4. Because the contract for the product is between you and the supplier any queries or concerns relating to the product should be addressed to them. You will see the name and address, plus contact details, for most suppliers at the bottom of the more info section for each product and for all suppliers in any confirmatory e-mail we send you. We will of course assist you with this if you wish - please contact Customer Services.
5. Where your contract is not with LM Travel Services but with a third party supplier such as a tour operator or hotel, LM Travel Services may pass your credit card (or details of any other payment method allowed) and any other essential booking details to that third party. The placing of an order for any goods and services by you will constitute consent to us passing on such details.
6. You undertake to us that the details you give to us while using the website are correct in particular that the credit or debit card you are using is your own and that there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the product or service.
7. If there are any changes to the details supplied to us by you it is your responsibility to inform LM Travel Services via our Customer Services as soon as possible.
8. We won't send you e-mails which you do not want but we can't guarantee that third parties to whom your details are sent won't do so.
9. Our site will not stop you from making impossible bookings such as two flights to the same place at the same time or a flight to one place and theatre tickets to another at the same time. If you make that kind of booking we won't give you a refund.
10. We will do our best to correct errors and omissions as quickly as practicable after being notified of them. However because of the sophisticated technology that is required in operating LM Travel Services there may be times when obvious errors occur. For example, very occasionally, this may result in a price, product or service or other detail displayed or presented on the site being incorrect. In this case we reserve the right to cancel that contract, but this of course will be without any liability to you.
11. LM Travel Services does not make any warranty that the website is free from infection by viruses or anything else that has contaminating or destructive properties.
