Bookings and Financial Terms


Bookings and Financial Terms for Operators:


If you are an Operator and a booking is requested for your Group Tour via the Services, either you or The Tour Basket acting as the Operator’s agent, will be required to either confirm or reject the booking, using your internal reservation system or staff, within the specified timeframe (which is generally within 24-48 hours of when the booking is requested, as determined by the Tour Basket in its sole discretion) or the booking request may be automatically cancelled. If you are unable to confirm or decide to reject a booking of a Group Tour within the specified timeframe, any amounts collected by The Tour Basket for the requested booking will be refunded to the applicable Traveller’s credit card and any pre-authorization of such credit card will be released. You understand and agree that once a Traveller requests a booking of your Group Tour, the price for such booking may not be altered after you confirm the booking without first obtaining the Travellers consent. If you have not yet confirmed the Traveller’s booking you can amend the price, details, add discounts, food funds, single supplements and other local payment so long as you advise the Traveller of these changes before you confirm the booking to allow Travellers to consent to your changes.

When a booking is requested via the Services, we may share with you the first name, last name and contact email address of the Traveller who has requested the booking.
The deposit displayed on the booking page is generally based on the Operator’s Terms as outlined on the booking page. Where applicable, Taxes may be charged in addition to the Group Tour Cost. The Group Tour Cost and applicable Taxes are collectively referred to in these Terms as the “Total Cost”. The amounts due and payable by a Traveller solely relating to an Operator’s Group Tour are the “Group Tour Cost”. Please note that it is the Operator and not The Tour Basket which determines the Group Tour Cost. The Tour Basket will collect the deposit and/or the total cost at the time of booking confirmation (i.e. when the Operator confirms the booking within the specified timeframe) acting on behalf of the Operator. The Balance of Payment (defined as the Total Cost minus the deposit) will be payable directly based on the Payment Terms as stated by the Operator on the booking page. Operators understand and agree that once a Traveller has received a booking confirmation number, the price for such booking may not be altered.

After you confirm a booking, you are responsible for invoicing The Tour Basket for the original tour price listed in the www.TheTourBasket.com tour listing at the point of booking request (which must correspond to the pricing on your website) minus The Tour Basket’s Service fee. The Tour Basket’s Service fee is displayed in your The Tour Basket Dashboard. Invoices are to be emailed to info@TheTourBasket.com. Invoices must have a payment due date of the 5th business day of the next calendar month after the tour departure date. Each tour booking must have its own invoice. The Tour Basket will pay the Net Amount (defined as being the Group Tour Cost minus the Service Fee) to your nominated bank account. We are not responsible for delays in remitting Tour Fees, which can vary based on the bank, currency, location, etc. We are responsible for emailing the Traveller with a booking receipt for their payments. You are responsible for emailing any documentation, other necessary details and vouchers to the Traveller.


Appointment of The Tour Basket as Agent for Operator:


The Operator hereby appoints The Tour Basket as the Operator’s agent to facilitate the booking of Group Tours. The Operator will make the Group Tour available to Traveller in the agreed-upon manner as described in their Listing. In accepting appointment as the authorised agent of the Operator, The Tour Basket assumes no liability for any acts or omissions of the Operator. You acknowledge and agree that the Tour Basket reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to introduce and collect other fees from you in accordance with the Modification Section of these Terms. Please note that the Tour Basket will provide notice of new fees via the Services, prior to implementing such new features.

Bookings and Financial Terms for Travellers
The Operators, not The Tour Basket, are solely responsible for honouring any confirmed bookings and making available any Group Tours reserved through the Services. You acknowledge that the availability and price of a Group Tour can change any time until you have received a booking confirmation number. If you, as a Traveller, choose to enter into a transaction with an Operator for the booking of a Group Tour, you agree and understand that you will be required to enter into an agreement (including releases) with the Operator and you agree to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with such Group Tour imposed by the Operator. You acknowledge and agree that the Tour Basket is a party to the agreement only as of the agent to the Operator. With the exception of its obligations hereunder, The Tour Basket disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements. Any Deposit or Balance of Payment is due as stated within the Operators Terms contained in the Booking Page.
The Booking Page for a Group Tour will specify the Total Cost. As noted above the Operator is required to either confirm or reject the booking within the specified timeframe (which is generally within 24-48 hours of when the booking is requested, as determined by the Tour Basket in its sole discretion) or the requested booking will be automatically cancelled. If a requested booking is cancelled (i.e. not confirmed by the applicable Operator), any amounts collected by The Tour Basket will be refunded to such Traveller, depending on the selections the Traveller makes via the Site and Application, and any pre-authorization of such Traveller’s credit card will be released, if applicable.
You agree to pay the Tour Basket acting on behalf of the Operator for the Total Cost for any booking requested in connection with your The Tour Basket Account if such requested bookings are confirmed by the applicable Operator. In order to establish a booking pending the applicable Operator’s confirmation of your requested booking, you understand and agree that The Tour Basket reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) obtain a pre-authorization via your credit card for either the Deposit or Total Cost or (ii) charge your credit card a nominal amount, not to exceed fifty rupee (INR 50), or a similar sum in the currency in which you are transacting (e.g. one Euro or one British Pound) to verify your credit card. Once you receive confirmation of your booking from the applicable Operator, The Tour Basket will collect the Total Cost Payment in accordance with the terms and conditions of these Terms and the pricing terms set forth in the applicable Listing acting on behalf of the Operator. Please note that the Tour Basket cannot control any fees that may be charged to a Traveller by his or her bank related to The Tour Basket’s collection of the Total Cost, and The Tour Basket disclaims all liability in this regard.
In connection with your requested booking, you will be asked to provide customary billing information such as name, billing address and credit card information to either The Tour Basket acting on behalf of the Operator or its third-party payment processor. You agree to pay the Tour Basket for any confirmed bookings made in connection with your The Tour Basket Account in accordance with these Terms by one of the methods as may be described on the Site or Application – e.g. by credit card. You hereby authorize the collection of such amounts by charging the credit card provided as part of requesting the booking, either directly by The Tour Basket or indirectly, via a third-party online payment processor or by one of the other payment methods as may be described on the Site or Application. If you are directed to The Tour Basket’s third-party payment processor, you may be subject to terms and conditions governing the use of that third party’s service and that third party’s personal information collection practices. Please review such terms and conditions and privacy policy before using the services. Once your confirmed booking transaction is complete you will receive a confirmation email summarizing your confirmed booking.

Service Fees
In consideration for providing the Services, The Tour Basket collects a service fee only from Operators (“Service Fees”). A Service Fee is made up of one (1) component: (i) a fee that is charged to the Operator based upon a percentage of the amount of the Group Tour Cost. Where applicable, Taxes may also be charged in addition to the Service Fee.

Services Fees are deducted from the Group Tour Cost before remitting the balance to the Operator (please note that we will not be responsible for delays in remitting Group Tour Fees, which can vary based on the bank, currency, location, etc). Balances will be remitted by The Tour Basket to Operators via cheque, direct deposit or other payment methods described on the Site or via the Application, in the Operator’s currency of choice, depending upon the selections the Operator makes via the Services. Please note that for any payments by The Tour Basket, we will pay our bank’s costs and you are responsible to pay your bank’s costs.

General Booking and Financial Terms
Traveller Cancellations and Refunds
If, as a Traveller, you cancel your requested booking before the requested booking is confirmed by an Operator, The Tour Basket will cancel any pre-authorization to your credit card and/or refund any nominal amounts charged to your credit card in connection with the requested booking within a commercially reasonable time (10 to 15days). You agree to pay the Tour Basket for the Total Cost for any booking requested in connection with your The Tour Basket Account if such requested bookings are confirmed by the applicable Operator. Once your booking is confirmed by the applicable Operator, and you have received email acknowledgement, the total cost of your Group Tour is subject to the cancellation and payment terms of the Operator. However, if you are advised that your booking is an ‘on request’ basis, then above rules do not apply. This is because when a tour is ‘on request’ the Operator usually has to have their Operations Team submit special requests to their suppliers. So, if the request comes back approved, you will be charged for the full amount. However, if the Operator cannot confirm your request you will receive a full refund.


Operator Cancellations and Refunds
If an Operator cancels a confirmed booking made via the Services, a refund of only the Tour Cost for such booking will be made to the applicable Traveller within a commercially reasonable time of the cancellation and (ii) the Traveller may receive an email or other communication from The Tour Basket containing alternative Listings and other related information. If an Operator cancelled a confirmed booking and you, as a Traveller, have not received an email or other communication from The Tour Basket, please contact The Tour Basket at info@TheTourBasket.com


Cancellation in the Event of Inclement Weather
Certain Group Tours may be weather-dependent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of inclement weather, the Operator has the discretion as to whether the weather conditions will prevent the Group Tour from taking place. As an Operator, if you need to cancel a Group Tour for reasons of inclement weather, you must contact the Traveller and The Tour Basket (at info@TheTourBasket.com) as early as possible. Subject to the Traveller’s consent, the Operator and the Traveller may choose to reschedule the Group Tour for another date.
If the Group Tour cannot be rescheduled, as a Traveller, please contact The Tour Basket so we may assist in finding a replacement, non-weather-dependent Group Tour. For clarity, in the event the alternative Group Tour is of a higher price than the former, you may be responsible for any difference in price. In the event the alternative Group Tour is of a lower price, you may be entitled to a partial refund for the difference.
As a Traveller, if you have contacted The Tour Basket as provided above and The Tour Basket is unable to find you a replacement Group Tour, The Tour Basket may refund the deposit for such booking to the applicable Traveller within a commercially reasonable time of the cancellation.

Taxes
You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for determining your applicable Tax reporting requirements in consultation with your tax advisors. The Tour Basket cannot and does not offer Tax-related advice to any Members of the Services. Additionally, please note that each Operator is responsible for determining local indirect Taxes and for including any applicable Taxes to be collected or obligations relating to applicable Taxes in Listings.
