  3. Sharing of Personal Information We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information with our trusted partners who assist us in operating our website, such as web hosting providers and payment processors. These partners are bound by confidentiality agreements and are only authorized to use your personal information to the extent necessary to perform their services for us.

  7. The refund policy for a travel agency may vary depending on the agency’s specific terms and conditions, as well as the type of booking or package that was purchased. However, in general, most travel agencies will have a set of guidelines for cancellations and refunds.

    Here are some common elements you might see in a travel agency’s refund policy:

    1. Cancellation fees: Many travel agencies will charge a cancellation fee if you cancel your booking. This fee may increase the closer you get to your travel date.

    2. Non-refundable deposits: Some bookings may require a non-refundable deposit at the time of booking. This means that if you cancel your trip, you will not receive a refund for the deposit.

    3. Partial refunds: If you cancel your trip but have already paid for some of the services or accommodations, you may be eligible for a partial refund.

    4. Timeframe for refunds: Travel agencies may have different timelines for processing refunds. Some may issue refunds immediately, while others may take several weeks or even months to process.

    It’s important to carefully review the refund policy of a travel agency before booking any travel plans. If you have any questions or concerns, be sure to ask the agency for clarification before making a booking.
