DEFINITIONS

For the purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:

COMPANY IDENTITY AND AGENCY RELATIONSHIP

Travelocompare.net is operated by Hydra Travels Inc., a duly licensed and ARC-Accredited travel agency (ARC Accreditation No: 45572424). The Company acts as an authorized travel agent and facilitates bookings on your behalf with various Travel Suppliers. The following key facts about our legal status are essential to your understanding of this Agreement:

The Company's role is limited to facilitating the booking transaction. All contractual obligations arising from the actual provision of travel services (flight operation, accommodation, car rental, etc.) lie exclusively with the respective Travel Suppliers. By proceeding with a booking, you agree to the terms, conditions, and policies of both Hydra Travels Inc. and the applicable Travel Supplier.

ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

By accessing, browsing, or using the Platform, or by completing a booking, you represent that:

• You are at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts;

4. BOOKING PROCESS AND CONFIRMATION

4.1 Search and Pricing

All fares, prices, and availability displayed on Travelocompare.net are sourced in real time from Travel Supplier systems via Global Distribution Systems (GDS) and direct airline/hotel APIs. Prices are subject to change without notice until confirmed and paid. Displayed prices may be shown inclusive or exclusive of taxes, fees, and surcharges, which will be clearly itemized at checkout.

A price quote does not constitute a confirmed booking. Prices are not guaranteed until full payment is received and a confirmed booking reference is issued. In the event of a pricing error or technical discrepancy, the Company reserves the right to cancel the booking and offer a full refund to the affected passenger.

4.2 Booking Steps

The booking process on Travelocompare.net consists of the following steps:

• Search: You enter travel requirements (origin, destination, dates, passengers, class of service).
• Selection: You select a fare from the displayed results. Fare rules and restrictions are made available for your review.
• Passenger Details: You provide accurate personal information for all travelers, including names as they appear on government-issued identification.
• Review: A summary of your booking, total price, and fare conditions is displayed for your review.
• Payment: You enter payment details and authorize the transaction.
• Confirmation: Upon successful payment processing, a booking confirmation and, where applicable, an e-ticket is sent to your registered email address.

4.3 Booking Confirmation and E-Tickets

A booking is considered confirmed only upon receipt of a written booking confirmation from Hydra Travels Inc. containing a valid booking reference number. E-tickets are typically issued within 24 hours of payment, though in some cases (particularly for international itineraries or complex multi-city routings), ticketing may take up to 72 hours. Passengers are advised to check their email, including spam/junk folders, and to contact us immediately if no confirmation is received within the specified period

4.4 Name Accuracy and Corrections

Passenger names on bookings must exactly match the names on government-issued travel documents. Most airlines do not permit name changes after ticketing. Minor name corrections (typographical errors of 1-3 characters) may be possible at the airline's discretion and may incur change fees. The Company accepts no liability for denied boarding, immigration refusal, or additional costs resulting from name discrepancies caused by the passenger's submission of incorrect information.

FARES, TAXES, AND FEES

5.1 Fare Components

The total price of a booking typically comprises the following components:

5.2 Agency Service Fees

Hydra Travels Inc. charges a non-refundable service fee for all bookings made through Travelocompare.net. Service fees are disclosed at the time of booking and are payable regardless of whether the Travel Supplier provides a refund. Service fees are not part of the Travel Supplier's fare and are retained by Hydra Travels Inc. as compensation for its agency services.

5.3 Currency and Exchange

All prices displayed on the Platform are in U.S. Dollars (USD) unless otherwise specified. If your payment card is denominated in a different currency, your card issuer may apply a foreign exchange fee. The Company is not responsible for currency conversion charges applied by your financial institution.

6. PAYMENT TERMS

6.1 Accepted Payment Methods

Travelocompare.net accepts the following payment methods for booking transactions:

6.2 Payment Authorization

By providing payment details, you authorize Hydra Travels Inc. and its payment processors to charge the full amount of your booking to the designated payment method. For bookings involving multiple travelers, you represent that you are authorized to use the payment method provided and to accept charges on behalf of all passengers.

6.3 Payment Failure

If payment fails for any reason (insufficient funds, card decline, technical error), your booking will not be confirmed. Prices and availability are not guaranteed following a payment failure, and the Company accepts no liability for fare increases or availability changes occurring between the time of failed payment and any subsequent successful payment attempt.

6.4 Fraud Prevention

The Company employs fraud detection systems to protect both customers and the Company from unauthorized transactions. We reserve the right to request additional identity verification for transactions flagged by our fraud prevention systems. Failure to provide requested verification may result in booking cancellation and full refund. Any fraudulent use of payment methods may be reported to law enforcement.

7. CANCELLATIONS, CHANGES, AND REFUNDS

7.1 General Policy

All cancellations, changes, and refund requests are governed by the Fare Rules of the applicable Travel Supplier in addition to the policies of Hydra Travels Inc. Many airline tickets are non-refundable and non-changeable. The Company strongly advises all passengers to review fare rules carefully before completing a booking.

7.2 Airline Ticket Changes and Cancellations

7.3 How to Request Changes or Cancellations

To request a change or cancellation, please contact us using the following methods:

• Phone: (877) 671-5992 (Available during business hours, Monday-Friday 9AM-6PM EST)
• Email: support@travelocompare.net (Responses within 1-2 business days)
• Online: Via your booking management portal at www.travelocompare.net/manage-booking

Changes and cancellations are subject to the airline's applicable cut-off times. We recommend contacting us as early as possible. Same-day change or cancellation requests may not be accommodated, and the Company accepts no liability for missed deadlines caused by delayed customer notification.

7.4 Refund Processing

Approved refunds are credited back to the original payment method. Refund processing timelines are as follows:

7.5 BFAR (Booking Fee At Risk) Provision

For promotional or deeply discounted fares sourced through the Platform, an additional 'Booking Fee At Risk' provision may apply, under which the total fare paid is strictly non-refundable under all circumstances. Where this provision applies, it will be clearly disclosed at the time of booking. The Company complies with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations regarding refunds for flights originating in or destined for the United States.

8. SCHEDULE CHANGES, DELAYS, AND CANCELLATIONS BY AIRLINES

Airlines may change flight schedules, routes, aircraft types, or cancel flights for reasons including but not limited to operational requirements, government regulations, weather, and air traffic control. Hydra Travels Inc., as an independent travel agency, does not control airline operations and accepts no liability for schedule changes, delays, cancellations, or diversions.

In the event of an airline-initiated cancellation or significant schedule change:

• We will notify you as promptly as practicable upon receiving information from the airline;
• You may be entitled to rebooking, rerouting, or a refund per the airline's customer service policies and applicable regulations (including DOT rules for U.S.-originating flights and EU Regulation 261/2004 for EU-departing flights);
• The Company will assist you in pursuing available remedies with the airline but does not guarantee any specific outcome;
• Additional expenses, such as accommodation or meals during delays, are the airline's responsibility under applicable regulations and are not the liability of Hydra Travels Inc.

9. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS AND ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Each passenger is solely responsible for ensuring they hold all required travel documents for their entire journey, including outbound, transit, and return legs. These include but are not limited to:

• A valid passport with sufficient validity (typically 6 months beyond travel date);
• Required visas for destination and transit countries;
• Electronic Travel Authorizations (ETA/ESTA/eTA) where applicable;
• Return or onward travel evidence where required by immigration authorities;
• Proof of accommodation and financial means as required by destination countries;
• Vaccination records and health certificates where required (e.g., Yellow Fever, COVID-19 documentation if applicable);
• Minor Travel Consent Letters where applicable for unaccompanied or accompanied minor passengers.

Hydra Travels Inc. provides general travel information as a courtesy only. Such information does not constitute legal advice and may not reflect the most current requirements. Entry requirements are the exclusive domain of national governments and immigration authorities, which may change without notice. Passengers are strongly advised to verify current requirements with the relevant embassy, consulate, or official government immigration portal prior to travel.

The Company accepts no liability for any costs, losses, or disruption arising from a passenger's failure to hold required travel documents, including denied boarding, deportation, detention, or refused entry at any point during the journey.

10. BAGGAGE POLICIES

Baggage allowances, including the number of checked bags, weight limits, size restrictions, and fees for excess or oversized baggage, are set exclusively by the applicable airline or travel supplier. Baggage policies vary significantly by airline, fare class, route, and frequent flyer status. The displayed fare on Travelocompare.net may or may not include checked baggage.

Passengers are advised to review the specific baggage policy of their booked carrier before travel. The Company is not responsible for additional baggage charges levied at the airport. Below is a general reference guide (subject to change by individual airlines):

Prohibited items (firearms, hazardous materials, etc.) are governed by airline policies and international aviation regulations including ICAO and IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations. The Company accepts no liability for confiscation of prohibited items.

11. TRAVEL INSURANCE

Hydra Travels Inc. strongly recommends that all passengers purchase comprehensive travel insurance to protect against unforeseen events including trip cancellation, medical emergencies, baggage loss, travel delays, and personal liability. Travel insurance may be offered as an add-on during the booking process through our third-party insurance partners.

Important disclosures regarding travel insurance:

• Travel insurance is underwritten and administered by independent insurance providers, not Hydra Travels Inc.;
• All insurance claims are handled directly between the insured passenger and the insurance underwriter;
• Insurance premiums are generally non-refundable once a policy is issued;
• Pre-existing medical condition exclusions may apply; passengers should review policy documents carefully;
• The Company does not guarantee coverage for any specific claim under any insurance product offered.

12. SPECIAL REQUESTS AND ACCESSIBILITY

Special service requests (SSRs) such as wheelchair assistance, special meals, unaccompanied minor service, medical equipment assistance, or other accessibility accommodations must be communicated at the time of booking or as early as possible. All such requests are subject to confirmation by the applicable Travel Supplier and cannot be guaranteed by Hydra Travels Inc.

The Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to transmit special service requests to the relevant Travel Supplier. However, ultimate fulfillment of special requests is the sole responsibility of the Travel Supplier. Passengers with severe allergies, medical conditions, or complex accessibility needs are advised to confirm their requirements directly with the airline or hotel prior to travel.
