Through the Site, Hello PH! provides an online Store where you can browse different types of Travel & Tourism Services and Products, such as but not limited to, Travel Accommodations (“Accommodations”), Ground Transportation (transfers and rentals), Sea Transportation (ferries), Air Transport (flights), (collectively referred to as “Transportation”), Attractions (theme parks and museums), Activities (land and sea), Dining, (collectively referred to as “Activities”), Travel Insurance, and travel & tourism related products and specialty items of Philippine tourist destinations (collectively referred to as “Products”). By making a reservation or purchase on the Site or through agents of the Travel Center, you enter into a direct, legally binding contractual relationship with the Company’s Partners (“Vendors”) in Accommodations, Transportation, and Activities (collectively referred to as “Travel Services”), and/or Products. In your transaction, the Vendors provide reservations for the respective Travel Services or Products you reserved and meet their obligations to Users of the Site or of the Travel Center as their own responsibility. The Company acts solely as an agent or third party between you and the Vendors in facilitating the sending of details and payment of your reservation/s and purchases to the respective Vendors, then sending you a confirmation from the Site or by email for and on behalf of the Vendors.
TRAVEL SERVICES – ACCOMMODATIONS, TRANSPORTATION, and ACTIVITIES
The Site allows you to search for Travel Services and their prices available by location, store categories, or by search parameters set by the User. The prices displayed are inclusive of Philippine Value Added Tax (VAT), respective service charges of Accommodations, and other relevant fees or local taxes by regulation or by law that have to be collected by the Vendors from their guests or passengers. Prices and details of the Travel Services may change upon the sole discretion of the Company and/or the service providers with or without notice to the User and it is the User’s direct and sole responsibility to determine the most recent and actually applicable prices and details of any Travel Services to be availed and/or purchased.
“NO” TRAVEL DATES
During the Covid-19 Pandemic and Possible Future Events. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and future probable events (“Events”) leading towards the “new normal,” travel and tourism operations have become an evolving activity. This is due in part or in whole of many shifting factors that surround the health and safety knowledge, policies in addressing Covid-19, and possible future Events. Vendors are aware of the predicament for their Guests, such that listings on the Site for Travel Services do not ask for travel dates (“No Travel Dates”) nor do the Vendors require the date of travel or date of use of their offered services when making a reservation or payment. The User on the Site or at the Travel Center is allowed to reserve and advance deposit or pay in full for Travel Services, without the requirement to inform the Vendors of the actual date/s of use for the services they reserved on the Site or from the Travel Center. Certain terms and periods may apply to when the User can avail of the services offered by the Vendor (see below “Validity”). Provided, all parties agree that their correlative rights and obligations shall be subject to and will be amended accordingly to be compliant with the laws, rules, policies, and regulations that would be promulgated by all competent authority at the time of the relevant Event/s.
Voucher Program. Many of the products and services available on the Site are vouchers – Users may purchase products and/or services with the intention of future use, with or without a specific travel date. Vendors are aware of the nature of a voucher, such that listings for vouchers for Travel Services on the Site do not ask for travel dates. The User on the Site or at the Travel Center is allowed to reserve and advance deposit or pay in full for Travel Services, without the requirement to inform the Vendors of the actual date/s of use for the services they reserved on the Site or from the Travel Center. Certain terms and periods may apply to vouchers when the User can avail for the products or services offered by the Vendor (see below “Validity”).
ADVANCE DEPOSIT OR PAY IN FULL
Given that No Travel Dates are required when making a reservation or payment on the Site or at the Travel Center for Travel Services, Vendors are extending another flexibility in reservations by accepting Advance Deposits for their services that will “lock-in” on its existing price (“Tuloy Pa Rin Tayo! Rate,” “TPRT Rate”) as listed on the Site on the date of payment of the Advance Deposit (or Full Payment). The User can avail of the Travel Service/s reserved at the TPRT rate during a validity period or travel period specified by the Vendor. The Users will be sent a confirmation (“Voucher”) from the Company on behalf and for the Vendors specifying the Travel Service/s and Unit amounts reserved at the TPRT rate, amount of Advance Deposit paid, and remaining balance for Travel Service/s reserved. Users are required to pay the remaining balance for Travel Services reserved at the TPRT rate upon booking their actual travel dates on the Site or with the Travel Center.
When you want to redeem your Voucher and book your Travel Dates using the TPRT rate, you will contact the Travel Center through the Site or using the contact information that was included in the Voucher sent via email when your payment was received by the Company for the Voucher of the Travel Service you reserved.
ADVANCE DEPOSITS – Advance Deposits shall be a minimum of 25% of the TPRT rate as listed on the Site. In some cases, Travel Services may have advance deposit requirements that differ from 25% and shall be stated in their respective Site listing.
NON-REFUNDABLE – The minimum 25% Advance Deposits are non-refundable. If the User fails to use their Voucher within the prescribed validity/travel period, the Voucher is considered as forfeited. The User has the option to transfer their Voucher before the end of its validity period, but must comply with the terms and conditions for transfer (see below). The User, in so far as it is not contrary to public policy, hereby freely and voluntarily waives [in consideration of the flexible no date reservation] of any and all rules and regulations that declare that vouchers should not have any expiration period.
VOUCHER – The Voucher is not a legal tender or an evidence of a financial claim against the Vendor. The Voucher is a representation of the Advance (or Full) payment made and the unit amounts of Travel Services reserved at the TPRT rate by the User; its main function is to facilitate the identity of the User, documentation for the Company and Vendor, and as the summary, additional information, and reminders for the User of the subsequent steps and usage of the Service.
Vouchers cannot be claimed directly with the respective Vendors and can only be redeemed at the Site and/or Travel Center.
SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY
Users are informed that Travel Services reserved at the TPRT rate with advance deposits only guarantees the locked-in TPRT rate for the given travel period and it does not guarantee or obligate the Vendor/s to fulfill the Travel Services on the User’s preferred travel dates. When you book your travel dates with the Company, it is subject to availability of but not limited to rooms, flights, vehicle and driver, ferry, boat, attraction, and activity. The User hereby agrees that in cases of non-availability for whatever cause adjustments shall accordingly be made without any adverse legal effects on any of the parties.
Upon confirmation by the Vendor/s of the availability of Travel Services for your preferred travel dates, you will be contacted by the Travel Center and can proceed to pay the remaining balance, if applicable, for your reservation. At this juncture, Users can request additional services (“Add-Ons,” see below) or requests for their reservation from the Travel Center and will be included in the invoice that is sent by email.
