1.2 By creating an account, signing an order form, or using the Service, the customer organisation ("Customer", "you", "your") agrees to these Terms. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.
1.3 These Terms are intended for business users only. Consumers should not use the Service.

2.3 Customer must promptly notify us of any actual or suspected unauthorised access or security incident related to the Service.
3. Orders, Subscriptions, and Payment
3.1 Access to the Service is provided on a subscription basis, as specified in an order form, proposal, or online sign-up flow ("Order").

3.5 Fees are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated in the Order.
4. Licence and Permitted Use
4.1 Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right during the subscription term to access and use the Service for its internal business purposes in connection with tour and travel operations.

5. Service Availability and Support
5.1 We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Service available in accordance with any uptime targets or service levels agreed in writing with Customer (if any).

5.4 The Service may interoperate with third-party systems (e.g. Amadeus, Sabre, Hotelbeds, payment providers). Availability of such systems is subject to the performance of those third parties.
